we think the Legislature will not be

licious design. If plant is to be ac-

NEGRO SOLDIERS.

The President on his return from
Panama will be called upon to recon
slider or re-investigate his action in
arbitrarily dismissing three companies
of colored soldiers, some of whom had
served faithfully for many years, be-
cause a squad of them had been
guilty of excesses resulting in a homo
eide, and their comrades, would not
divulge the names of the guilty par
ties. 1t is not only colored people
but many whites throughout the coun-
try who think the Presidents impul-
sive and precipitative action was
wrong, and ought to be reconsidered,
Evidently Secretary of War Taft
thought so, for he suspended the Pres
ident's order pending his return or
until he could be heard from, but his
reply indicates a purpose to adhere
to his original order.
We make no plea of justification or
even of excuse for the guilty soldiers.
If their identity can be established
and this would seem easy-they ought
to be punished. But to punish and dis
grace several hundred innocent men
for the criminal acts of a few does not
seem to be square with justice or to be
reasonable. Does anybody suppose
such an extreme penalty would have
been inflicted on whole companies of
white soldiers, if some of them had
! been equally guilty and the rest had
declined to testify against them? Or,
if this had been done would not mil
lions of white people been figuratively
up in arms about it?
The President knows that it is a
point of honor with soldiers private as
we'll as officers, not to betray their
comrades. White soldiers have never
been punished for adherence to this
unwritten rule, and to single out the
Negro troops and make an exception
of them is to draw the color line
against them and to establish a strict
er or different rule of conduct fol
them than for white 1iers. Why
should these colored soldier, hey
knew who were guilty, be required tC
disclose their knowledge, more than

NOT BOUND TO BOURNE.

The preamble to the primary nom
mating law says: THE purpose Of
this law is the better to secure and
preserve the rights of political parties
and voluntary, political organizations,
and of their members and candidates" T"
Yet the practical working of the law
accomplishes just the opposite of this
intention. 1t is destructive of party
organization, and practically excludes
all but rich men from attaining any
important offices. 1t especially tends
to disorganize and break up the dom
inant, or majority party, which in this
state is the Republican party; and
now the regular candidate for election
to the senate by an overwhelmingly
Republican Legislature is not real
Republican, as his record clearly
shows.
The duty of the Republican Legisla-
ture, Notwithstanding this break and
demoralizing law, is to stand on its
The new age., 1906-11-24

white soldiers? If black man is good
enough to be a soldier-and nobody
disputes the fact that black men have
been good soldiers in all sorts of emer-
gencies-why should not this rule of
the camp that obtains among white
soldiers obtain among the black ones
also?
The case is the more grevious be-
cause, according to report, not more
than half a dozen men of the whole
battalion subjected to disgrace really
knew anything about the riot or who
were engaged in it. What the dis
orderly black soldiers did for the
most part, white soldiers frequently
do. They are frequently getting into
trouble and making a nuisance of
themselves and nothing is done or
said about it, beyond possibly a little
garrison discipline; but it seems from
this episode that Negro soldiers must
be better behaved than white soldiers
or be discharged in disgrace
For men engaged in service under
the stars and stripes, there should be
no discrimination on account of race,
color or previous condition of servi-
tude; a soldier should be a soldier
just the same whatever his national
ity, race religion or color; but in this
case it certainly looks as if the sol
diers concerned would not have been
dishonorably discharged had they
been white instead of colored.
The new age., 1906-11-24
The Roseburg Spokesman, a Re-

The Roseburg Spokesman, Re-
publican paper, says:
"And now comes the proposition
that petitions be circulated asking the
members of the Legislature to refuse
to elect Jonathan Bourne to the Unite d
States Senate. This is a proper move
and one that should be pushed to a
successful termination. BY all means
let all possible steps be taken to pre-
vent this state from being miserably
misrepresented in that august body
The new age., 1906-11-24

constitutional rights, and to perform
the duty imposed upon it by the con-
stitution, which is higher and more
sacred law than the the U'Ren freak
law; and to elect to the Senate true
Republican, one who in past emergen-
cies has proved himself to be such,
and a man with high reputation, an
unblemished character, and in every
respect a true and worthy citizen.
What member of the Legislature can
honestly say that Mr.. Bourne fills this
bill? Can it be said that he stands
for Republican principles-he who was
an ardent supporter of Bryan and free
silver, who defeated Dolph and Nit
chell in succession, who compelled the
state to go for two years without ap-
preparations to pay great amount of
interest, who help up" the Legislature
to the injury and disgrace of the state,
and who was the reputed custodian
and disburser at his own pleasure and
according to his own depraved tastes
of large corruption funds? Can it be
the duty of the Legislature to elect
this man because by the lavish use of
money he secured a slight plurality
under a law gotten up by a crack
Drained, third-rate country attorney?
Yet the underlying intent of the
primary law, that which intelligent
men indorse and seek to have put
into practice, is all right, but it is
not operating right. A good law, work
ing right, cannot produce such re-
suit as-Senator Bourne! We cannot
gather grapes from thorns nor figs
| from thistles, neither do we evolve a
tasteless, wormy, worthless fruit from
good, well-cared-for Spitzenberg, or
Baldwin tree When law produces a
Senator Bourne, it needs fixing, some
how. The design of the law is good,
but it needs looking into when we
get for a senatorial candidate "a man
of the fakir type, and a big purse"
pouring out his money in all sorts of
places and thus getting slight plu-
rality vote, and so becoming the farci-
cal and burlesque representative Of the
party and the people Of Oregon over
score of good, honorable, straight,
clean, respectable, honest Republicans
Members of the Legislature must
know, or can easily find out, that the
people generally, their neighbors and
acquaintances, honest, quiet, respon-
sible, intelligent men of all kinds, do
not want this man elected Senatop
and knowing this they are under no
moral obligation to elect him.

THE FOURTH STREET NUISANCE.

Have you noticed the work on that
new route of the Southern Pacific rail
road, crossing the river up south of
Portland and coming in on the East
Side instead of by way of Fourth
street? Have you noticed the diligent
preparation being made by the COM
pany to take their trains off Fourth
street and substitute electric cars for
passengers only? oh, you haven't No,
nor has anybody else, although many
months have passed by since the COM
panys agent or attorney, promised or
intimated that this would be done as
soon as possible. 1t was not to be
expected that the company would or
could make the change completely, all
at once, but it ought to be insisted on
that it proceed to do SO as rapidly as
is reasonable and without any further
delay.
The mayor is right when he says
that the traffic on Fourth street is "an
i intolerable public nuisance" and in
calling on the council to abate it. If
the council cannot do so, it can at
least try, and force the railroad into
the courts, which we think would be
inclined to give the people relief. The
city attorney has expressed the opin-
ion that the old franchise holds good,
but his opinion is not that of court;
and even if he is right about this, he
is also of the opinion that the council
can regulate the traffic on the street
to any extent it chooses. If this be
correct the council can prohibit the
running of trains except during certain
hours, and can make other regulations
that it upheld would soon bring Mr..
Hartman to time and force him to
"get a move on" in the matter of re-
moving his heavy trains and traffic
to the East Side.
The people of Portland has patiently
borne with this 'untolerable nuis-
ance" quite long enough, and should
lose no further time in making a
strenuous effort to abate it. 1t is such
impositions on the part of the rail-
roads as this, that have aroused the
people to demand regulation in many
ways and control to a great extent, of
railroads, and in the case of such men
as Hartman this is absolutely neces-
sary for their protection. Mr.. Hill
has always shown a disposition not
only to be fair but generous to the
public, and has been great agency
for the development of the country
and the towns through which his roads
pass while Mr. Hartman seems to
care nothing for the peoples interests
but rather seeks to antagonize them.
and to act on the principle of 'the
public be damned"
The council is making a mistake in
not taking this matter up and doing
