MR.. cOLWELL'S POSITION.

In the course of an open letter, pub
lished Thursday in the Oregonian,
Mr.. Elmer B. Colwell, a candidate for
state senator says:
Il think it is time the public and
the laboring men woke up. The Jour
nal has attacked my record in the
last legislature, but il voting for the
passage of every labor measure that
was presented is an unfayorable rec
ord, l am satisfied to quit. II l am
reelected l will not change. Does
anybody know how the new caIdi-
dates will stand on labor questions?
Should not the wage-earner stand by
the first candidate to call attention
to the double deal which Mr.. Ladd
and the corporations have fixed up for
the people, and if the public awakens
to this fact, all my purpose is served
Has any candidate, for instance, ex-
cept myself, promised to vote for a
law which will prevent Portland
street-car companies from exacting a
deposit Of $25 in cash from every en-
ploye when. he enters their service,
and placing the total Of $4,000 or
more thus obtained to the company's
credit in the bank and paying their
employees no interest whatever on
this money extorted from the labor
ing men? Did any candidate declare
for S5-cent gas and control of public
utility franchises before 1 did? The
question of whether | go to the leg
islature or not is a minor one. The
question Of whether a man signs
statement 1 or signs statement is a
minor one, but the question Of wheth-
err the corporations shall dominate the
next legislature is not minor Gle
although the Journal, masquerading
as usual as the friend Of the people
is making violent endeavors 10 befos
the issue. | shall be satisfied If
succeed in demonstrating the cannins
of the corporations and the hypocris!
of the Journal"
The New Age does not feel inclined
to join in attacks on the Journal
. though that paper is doubtless obnox
) ious to some citizens, but it like

amending the law.

AS to the muchtalked-of state
ment No. 1--we doubt whether it will
work as some of it's strenuous sup
porters expect or demand. The main
trouble is, 7as we have repeatedly
pointed out, that with five or six Re
publican candidates in the primaries,
the vote being perhaps quite equally
divided between them, there is really
no popular choice, and the legisla-
Tors should be permitted to exercise
their judgment and their constitu-
tional prerogative, and we think that
a good many of lthem will do so. OF
course, if one man should have a ma.
jorfty over all others. he ought to be
chosen by the legislature, and no
doubt will be, but it ought not to be
incumbent ON them ito elect a man
who has perhaps only third or quar-
ter OF the Republican vote of the
state, though he may have a small
plurality

MCCORMICK BEATEN.

The New Age confesses that it was
surprised and disappointed
at the defeat of Mr.. r. L. McCor-
mick for mayor of Tacoma. That
very nice and growing city needed
just such man for it's chief execu-
tive, and if he had been elected he
would have done much to advance it's
interests. He was defeated partly be-
cause he was supposed to be very
friendly to the Hill railroads, and Ia
coma is exceedingly DESTROYS of get
ting the Hartman line into that city.
We have no doubt that Mr.. McCor.
mick would have worked earnestly
and faithfully for the competing rail.
road, but his opponents aroused a
feeling of distrust on that account
that could not be allayed, and that
cost him many votes.
Another cause of his defeat was the
corruption fund used at the campaign
by the Wright forces. The vicious
element was completely gained fol-
Wright, although Mccormick is not &
radical reformer, and it is not tt
Wright's or Tacoma's credit that hi
election was due to the vicious classes
and to the use of Doodle, said to hav'
been supplied by the Hartman in
terests. We think Tacoma has mad'
a serious mistake in turning down 81

ter people of that city will regre

SECRETARY OF STATE.

The secretary of state of Oregon is
an exceedingly important office,
scarcely less SO than that of governor
even more SO. Only ON his
warrants are the states funds dis
bursed, and he must be familiar with
and watchful of all appropriations and
other laws. He is the custodian of all
the public records and of the state
house. He is a member of the state
land board and other important
boards. He has control in an import
ant sense of the school funds, and has
educational responsibility. He must
interest himself particularly in the
fees paid by corporations, and is ex-
pected to make suggestions and give
advice as to tax laws. So it will be
seen that his duties and responsible
ties are numerous and onerous.
OF four men now running for this
Office, Mr.. Frank T. Wrightman, who
has been assistant secretary of state
for eight years or more, is the best
qualified and equipped He ought by
all means to be nominated at the pri-
maries, and we believe will be. The
people will make no mistake in nom
mating and electing him.

EDITORIAL
TAFT ON THE NEGRO.

Secretary of War Taft made an In
teresting speech on the Negro at 7Fus-
kegee, Wednesday, from which we re
print some of the more salient points
1t now lis the habit of many con-
templating the condition of the two
races in the Southern States to shake
their heads and say that the Negro
problem is far from solved, and that
the future in this respect is dark.
Plans have been suggested of a mi
grafton Of the Negro race TO some
other country where they would live
by themselves and grow up by them
selves and have a sovereignty by
themselves and create nation by
themselves. Such a suggestion is
most chimerical. The Negro has no
desire to go and the men Of the South
would seriously object to his going.
1t makes no difference how the Ne
gro came here; it makes no differ
ence how impossible and objection
able the amalgamation of the two
races may be; it makes no difference
how impossible it may be for them to
come together socially, the Negroes
are here in this country as a part of
our people and are bound to continue
to be part Of our people. They are
entitled to the unceasing effort of our
whole people in their struggle for bet
ter things, both because it is our duty
and our interest.
Help of Southern Whites.
Mr.. Taft said the Negro had made
great progress since the Civil war,
and continued:
The white men who can do the most
good for the Negro, who can aid him
in his toilsome march to better ma
terial and intellectual conditions, are
the Southern white men who are his
neighbors. tits one of the encouraging
signs Of the times that there is grow
ing up in the South body Of lead
Ing white men who feel that, the fu-
ture Of the Negro race affects the flu
ture Of the South and that both self
interest and humanity require them 10
lend all the aid they can 70 this reo-
pie in the throes of burdensome ef-
fort.
In the first place, if he continues to
increase in intelligence by the accep-
lance of the educational opportunities
which are being offered him under
the influence Of Mr.. Washington in
great institutions like this, and if, in
dustrially, he becomes a power and
this gradually increases the number
Of his race who are eligible to vote in
accordance with the law, he intro
duces into the electoral body of In
dividuals well qualified to act with
common sense and judgment, and
who by their very position in the
community, give weight to the vote
they cast.

Hon. R. G. Morrow, who is a candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
the circuit judgeshfp in Department
No. 2, is beyond doubt the most pop
ular candidate for that office. His
ability as a lawyer and his fitness to-
serve as a jurist notably qualify him
for the place his many friends have
induced him to seek. No one doubts
the purpose of his honorable ambi-
ton.

A mans official business ought to
be more important than his private
business, after he accepts an official
place of great responsibility like that
of the county judgeship. 1t seems to
be different with Judge Webster. His
mines are more important than his
responsibility for the exchequer of the
people. His legal work also seems to
take precedence over his official bust
ness. The people have had enough Of
that.

Colonel c. u Gantenbein is one of

didacy for a circuit judgeship is meet
ing with hearty endorsement by all
classes. He is an able lawyer and is
fitted by professional work to make
an excellent Judge. He represents the
progressive element in American cit
izenship. That he will bake a just
and impartial judge there can be no

Hon. R. R. Giltner, who is aycasdi,
date for the Republican nomination

strong endorsement in every district

Giltner we'll. They know him to be
honest, steadfast, energetic and pro-
gressive. They know him to be
good lawyer and good Judge of law.
They know that he is conscientious
and impartial. They know, also, that
he knows what the needs of the peo-
pie of the county are. They have
no doubt, either, that he will devote
all of his time to his official work.
The duties of the judge of Multnomah
county are now sufficiently important
and urgent to demand that. Every
body knows that Rush Giltner will
fill the bill That's enough.

Broke Arm While Pitching.

Merl Plyler, Of the Dubois Candy
company, who was slated to pitch in the
base ball game this morning between
the Elk team and Commercial Travel
ers, met with a peculiar accident, He
had pitched but four balls in the game
and while in the act of pitching the
fifth one, he snapped the bone between
the elbow and the shoulder.
There was a loud snap and the ball
rolled off towards foul ground. Mr..
Plyler was put in a buggy and taken
over town where an examination dis
closed the fact that the bone was
broken. 1t is thought that it had been
injured some time previous and the
effort OF throwing a curve caused it to
snap off.-DuBois Express, Saturday,

Waiting Room Needed.

The Jefferson Traction Company
should have some kind of a station or
waiting room at the end Of the trolley
line in Reynoldsville. As it is now,
passengers coming off trains and want
to go out on trolley have to stand
around on the street to wait for the
cars. When the Adams Express office
was in the Shaffer building that was
considered a public place and people
were permitted to wait there without
much Of an annoyance to any one, but
now that is a private residence, and yet
people continue to gather on the front
porch and wait for the cars, just as if
it was a public place. This is done be-
cause it was permitted for a time and
because the trolley company has not
provided a waiting room.

Organize Board of Trade,

Two weeks ago an article was pub
lished in The STAR suggesting that a
board of trade be organized In Reyn-
~oldsville, showing the advantages to
the business interests OF the town in
having a live board of trade, but no one
has made a move yet toward the or
ganization OF such a board. This mat
ter should be taken up this month and
a live board organized. Last week the
editor of this paper received a commun-
ication from an industry looking for a
location, but there was no person In
particular to whom the matter could be
referred. AS. stated in the previous
article, il we had a board OF trade all
communications from persons looking
for locations could be handed to the
president Of the board and the matter
would receive prompt and careful con-
sideration. We should have a board OF
trade, and it should be organized
promptly.
