BOURNE'S RECORD.
Quotation From Portland Oregonian
of May O, 1896.

In April, 1896, Bourne was the po-
litical manager of an attempt made to
capture the republican primaries from
the regular republican organization.
and furnished the money for that pur-
pose. The Oregonian of May 6, refer
ring to this fight, under an article
headed "Bourne's Fusion" SAYS:
This is the same coterie of choice
spirits which held up the legislature
last year, defeated with Doodle all
economical legislation, turned down
Senator Dolph, whose
common bond of sympathy was spoils
only, Inundated the city with hobos,
thieves. rascals and thugs to carry the
late republican primaries, prostitute
the police TO its own selfish designs
and perpetrated all the infamies OF
that disgraceful day, preclpitated
scenes Of violence and outrage in the
republican county convention, and
then boltcd it; and then, last, but not
least, perverted the sound money SEN
tinent of republicans of this state
into an imbecile and ambiguous ex'
preston. This is the record.

PLEADS FOR PIONEER WOMEN
Mrs. Cartwright Asks the Men of Ore.
gon TO Remember Their Mothers.

Portland. May 2S.-(Editor East
Oregonian.) With surprise and sor-
row l have read a young lawyers an
nouncement that he has been hired
to lead n campaign against the equal
suffrage amendment in eastern Ore
gon. If he were old enough to re-
member the part the pioneer mothers
of Oregon bore in the early days, how
they stood side by side with their hus-
bands through hardships and perks
and helped them in their conquest of
the wilderness, he would not wish to
ters of equal rights in the common
wealth that they have done so much
to build up.
was one of the pioneers of 1916
My father put up the first house ever
raised on the site of Portland. The
free and hospitable spirit of the pio-
needs was the farthest possible re-
moved from the narrow and restrict
ed spirit that would debar the women
of Oregon from equal freedom.
Most of our oregon men are of a
different way of thinking. I believe
that they will vote in June, by large
| majority, to give their mothers equaI
rights with themselves. I hope that
every pioneer and every native sor
who reads these lines will cast his bal
lot for the equal suffrage amendment

 It Is this element of uncertainty which makes the thought of such war fare perturbing. We may admit that there is large element of uncertainty in aerial navigation, but we are also compelled to admit that these machines may, and often do, fo where they are directed, and one of them would do what fleet of warships might fall to accomplish. If there should be war bs- tween England and France, for ex- ample, no city. town or port Tn either country would be safe. No fortifica- tions and no system of defences yet devised would protect a city or fleet against a torpede-laden enemy lowering at height beyond reach of artillery. War would be more horrible and vast ly more uncertain than has ever been known. and if anything approaching a perfect system of aerial navigation ever comes all nations will do we'll to enter into bonds to keep the peace for all time.

 We are Just bit pained to see such statements as the following in any pa per belonging to the Alabama Press ham The Canebrake Herald says: Take from him the support of the subsidized newspapers and there would not be left to him a bakers dozen of newspapers to champion his cause"
 Now we remember talking with The Herald's representative at the last meeting of the Alabama Press Associa- tion and told him that we had come out for Dr. Cunningham as our choice for Governor. He stated that he ex- pected to support the Doctor himself but that he did not think it good Idea to so announce in his paper. He said: Trucker. I think you have made a mistake" We did not then under stand why he should think we had made a mistake but it is beginning tn dawn upon us that he meant that, by waiting we might "get something out of it." or perhaps it might be to our interest to support the other candidate. Now we do not know this to have been his reasons for so advising us, but such questions naturally arise in our
 Unless such papers as The Herald will concede that other papers are hon est in their support of pr. Cunningham, how can they expect to be free from
 Now what we want is for The Her ald to name one paper that has been subsidized or quit casting insinuations at any of them.

A Good Joke.

Marion Standard
 The Age Herald of Sunday announces the campaign committee of the Farm CTS. Mechanics and Laborers' Associa- ticn:" It is the purpose of the Asso- citation to agitate railway rate reform
 A press agent has been employed and in an interview, he says: The purpose of the publicity bureau Is to keep before the people the only issue of the campaign-the regulation of rail road rates.
 Now the joke about the committee Is its personal. Any one at all familiar with the men and affairs of the State can readily see 1t. Bear in mind the name of the Association--"The Farm CTS Mechanics, and Laborers' Associa- tion"-then read the names composing the campaign committee. The first White. is a lawyer; then in rapid suc- oession you can spot them-cotton men. mill men. wholesale men. manu- lecturers. Of course we do not know all of them. but we know that a large part of the committee is composed of men who are neither farmers, mechan- les or laborers.- We should like to see a list of the men composing this committee published, accompanied by the occupation in which they are en- gagged. Some of them may be land lords and we know that many of them are employers of labor, but we do not laborer or mechanic. However, theru may be a few on the committee who are laborers and mechanics and save 1t from being strictly a partisan one Nevertheless. 1t is the biggest joke of the campaign.

RIVALRY.

It is good to remember that the one when the American navy always comes up to the scratch ,n fighting trim, perfectly capable of keeping away from the rocks and peculiarly apt in getting at the enemy, Is Tn time of war.
 Rear Admir.i M.son. head of the Bureau of Ordnance. is fearful that unless the $12,000,000 that has been cut out by the House is restored, there will not be m 4ans to maintain reserve of ammunitibn and keep up target practice. Target practice is what has made the American navy the most competent in the world for the real business of fighting. 1t ought not to be interefcred with, and prob ably will not be.
 Colonel Hepburn the other day made a speech aboutt the tendency ef our warships to get into unneces- sary trouble, and there was a good deal of this sort of optnien aired dur ing the discussion of~the $10.oo0, GOO hattleship pPoposition. Much of the criticism is unfair; some of 1t is iI ,- titled. But. after all, Congress Is ss much to blame as anybody for some of the most unfortunate conditions in the navy. The undermanning of yes sells and the impossibility of getting young men to go into the naval ser vice certainly are evils that could be remedied If the service were made suf- ficiently attractive, Congress should pedmit more money to be paid to the men of the navy There should be substantial rewards for special fitness among gunners and other experts in the service. and in every possible way it should be made attractive.
 Of one thing the navy people ought to be satisfied by this time. The era of great and increasing naval expan- sion in this country is nearing an cad The discussion of the proposition for the big battleship and the close vota On the item. together with other evi- dences of growing conservation about naval expenditures ought to make this plain. All the naval powers would be glad of an example of moderation. If the United States, which everybody knows can afford better than any oth- CT power to keep right on building, would set the example of "tapering off," other powers would be glad to accept 1t as an invitation to do like wise. And there Is no doubt of an in- creasing disposition in this country to slow up on building naval vessels. Fewer new ships and greater efficien- cy in management of those we have Is likely soon to be the watchword of those who direct naval policy.

A FEARFUL POSSIBILITY.

One of the most momentous possibili- ties in connection with aerial naviga- ton is its possible effect in war. Sir Baden Powell. the eminent English writer. seriously asks if we realize that tomorrow. not in tho dim and dis tance future. but tomorrow. a French airship migh: come across the channel and hover over Dover or Portsmouth. and It night out of reach of artillery fire? Airships could even now, in time of peace, take plans and photo graphs of all our coast Qualifications. In time of war they could drop explos- Ives on our guns and ships and blow up our powder magazines"
 That Is not by any means a fanciful or Idle query. It is true. as we have more than once argued, that the air ship has not yet been found which could be sustained and guided with anything approaching absolute cer- tainty. but even that may come as the reward of human ingenuity and per severance and even if that end Is not gained there is much in the question When a fleet of warshlps starts for 6 given point it is not certain that all oi them will reach 1t but if even one properly armed and equipped shiI reaches its destination 1t may destroy a city
 And so if might be with airships even with the many disadvantages un- der which they now labor Explosives are now made of such deadly power and m such small compass, that If i ! fleet of airshirS properly armed shoult

WHAT OF RUSSIA.

The news from Russia can hardly be called a surprise. much as the civilized world had hoped for better things. There were some indications few dcvs ago that Czar and people would come to some kind of agreement through whiel something in the nature of representa- tive constitutional government would be given the Russian people. The Czar showed, apparently. that he was wtll- ing to yield some of his powers and privileges, and the assembly was plain ly inclined to meet him half way and nnite with him and his advisers in se- curing a peaceful settlement of their differences and giving good govern ment to the badly demoralized nation.
 The latest despatches indicate that these hopes were vain. Either because of his natural obstinancy and uncer- tainty of character, or because he is controlled by the radical nobility, the Czr has apparently destroyed the hopes of best friends of the nation. How 1t will and may be matter of conjecture. but there seems little room to hope that the end will be good. The Rus sian people have borne much and their patience has about reached the limit If Nicholas and those who stand with him determine to uphold and continue the autocracy as 1t has heretofore ex isted there can be little doubt that revolution will follow and probably the world has never witnessed such scenes as will be enacted there. The people have reached a point where they will not submit to the old order of things, and they are right.
