of the state has not named a governor
since 1878. We have therefore conclud-
ed that if q strong man from this sec
ton we're candidate for governor on
O platform representing progressive re-
form he weuld receive our support.
There are two candidates from West
Tennessee, M, r. Patterson and John
r. Bond. The former came out first
and announce himself as in. favor Of
an amendment to the election laws that
would take from the governor the un-
democratic privilege of appointing
election commissioners throughout the
state and building up machine. This
attitude commended. itself to us. Gen.
Patterson also announced himself as
opposed to the iniquitous back assess
ment law, something that we have been
fighting for years. On the ether hand,
Judge Bond, a clean man, would not
change either of these laws, and he Of
fers the state absolutely no relief from
either Of these evils In this connec-
ton it is pertinent to say that Gov. Cox
aud his newspaper adherents are accus-
ing Gen. Patterson of assailing the
democratic party because of his posi-
ton on the election and back assess
ment laws. This proves conclusiVely
that when Cox says he is in favor of
these same reforms he doesn't mean it.
This leaves Patterson alone as the sole
sincere advocate of electoral and reve-
nue. reform. For this reason, then, We
prefer him primarily to Judge Bond,
Again we prefer MIN to Judge Bond
because the latter, representing moth
ing as he does, has no chance for the
nomination unless there should be a
hopeless deadlock between Patterson
and Cox.
Our final reason for supporting Pat
terson is that he has a clean record, and
instead of being tool of the machine,
as the Chattanooga Times charges, he
has kept his skirts cleaner of machine
methods than any man in public life in
this section. When he ran for attorney
general his opponents before the coun-
ty democracy were the universally es-
teemed Geo. B. Peters, who then held
the office, &. 7. Fitzhugh and j. NJ.
Steen. His friends at the time said he
had no chance, because he had no Or
ganization and was running against
some of the strongest men in the coun-
ty. He was successful, however, and
we have never yet heard any of his OPP
ponents charge that he was nominated
by any but fair means. Ii there was
any machine in existence at that time
we have never heard of it.
When General Patterson announced
himself as q candidate for congress h
seemed to be up against another for
lorn hope. His father had been defeat
ed. and the organization was agains
him. In Upton county the machine
called snap convention before tn
, congressional committee had taken an,
action whatever and declared for j. A

The South and Western railroad, now
under construction from the Carolina
coast to the Clinch Valley coal fields
and under the superb management of
George l.. Carter, has had repre-

A branch of the road will extend
from Coeburn to Norton in order to
touch a number Of coal operations at
Teeoma and other points. The road
will also extend to st. Paul, following
the grade practically of the old Cincin-

necessary and the company is receiving

There will be no permanent advant-
age or benefit to other cities as a re-
suit of San Francisco's misfortune, for
it most not be forgotten that the
transportation facilities now enjoyed
by San Francisco are equal to those
of Chicago at the time of her great
fire. II any city is to profit, however,
that city must be Portland, for the
great Hartman system Of railroads
are just as strongly entrenched here
as at San Francisco; their one line
south and their short line east both
have their terminus at this habor. Ev.

The Burnham Plans.

To Architect Daniel H. Burnham, Of
Chicago, the leveling Of San Francis
co appears a golden opportunity for
artistic reconstruction. Mr.. Burn
hams plans have long been discussed,
and at this time they form subject
of vital interest to the municipal auth
critics and the league. Although the
working of these plays has been great.
ly simplifed by the fire, the neces-
sary funds will not be so readily
found. Vast areas are now bare that
would have been condemned by the
city government.
These are the Burnham plans: The
raising of the grade on Market street
below Kearney; the creation of civic
enter at the corner Of Van Ness av-
enue and Market streets; the exten-
sion of the Pan Handle to this point
and thence in an arc across the Mis-
sion to the Pacific Mail dock; the con
struction of a boulevard around the
city; a park and stadium on Twin
Peaks, and the adornment of Sutro
Heights.
In the civic center at Market street
and Van Ness avenue, as designed by
Burnham, a park will extend from
City Hall avenue to Market street and
thence to Van Ness avenue. The Ad'
ministration buildings will be grouped
about this park.-Rea Irwin in the Pa

Salem, Oregon, June Is.

salem, Oregon, June Is.
10 The Editor of the Capital Journal:
1t has been currently reported that
wh@ the cement sidewalks are placed
on State street, the grade will be con.
siderably lowered and that this will ne.
eessitate the cutting down of that line
OF handsome shade trees along the Dor.
der of the campus of Willamette uni.
veNsity. If this is true it is greatly to
be deplored. One of the chiefest
charms of this beautiful capital city is
the luxuriant shade trees that adorn
the central portions of the town. And
I'M no part of the city are the trees so
beautiful as in the campus Of william.
cite university.
Surely bhere can be some way to lay
sidewalk along State street without
the ruthless despoiling of these magnifi.
cent trees. The cry of "Woodman,
spare that tree" was never raised in
a more worthy cause than this.
The present city council has been
guilty of many sins, both of omission
and commission, but for one I do not
believe that body will for a single mo-
mert order any improvements that will
cause to be considered this contem
plated act of vandalism.
! am almost ready TO say that people
living in the vicinity would be iustif-
able i'm preventing this wanton butch.
cry of trees by force of arms.
The most charitable view to take OF
the matter is that any one who would
advocate the cutting of these trees
is crazy.
1t requires generation for trees
to grow that fool can cut down in an
hour.
i hope that you will use the influence
of your popular paper to prevent this
act of wanton waste and bad taste.
sincerely hope that there is suffi
cient civic pride left in Salem to pre-
vent this from being done. Yours. II.
