70 disregard the action of the voters
OF oregon In indorsing Chamberlain,
democrat, for United States senator,
though his election must come from
republican legislature. He was
named according TO the provisions of
the new direct primary law. and it is
quite beside the point now to bewau
the defects of the law or to say that
the voters did not know their own
minds"
This is the view taken by the best
newspapers Of the country. east south
and west 1t is the only way to look
at the subject The people of the
state preferred Governor Chamber
lain for senator. Therefore he should
be given the office by the legislature,
since a majority of the leg
islators swore to vote for him provid-
ed he was endorsed by the people
The talk about the republican leg
islators being in a perplexing posi-
tion is absolute rot. They should
have nothing to do with the senator
ship except to formally ratify the
choice of the people.

1T WAS SETTLED.

Many eastern papers, republican as
well as democratic. are expressing
surprise at the attempt being made
to defeat Governor Chamberlain for
senator after he has received the en-
dorsement Of the people Of this state.
Here is a declaration from a Roch-
eester paper:
THE doctrine that there is no ap-
peal from the verdict Of the voters is
now so well established in this coun-
try that no one ever thinks OF ques-
tioning a popular decision recorded at
the polls. II ls surprising. therefore,

"I have been troubled with catarrh
for nearly twenty-five years and have
tried many cures for 1t, but obtained
very little help.
"Then my brother advised me to try
Peruna, and | did.
"My health was very roo- at the time

"PerUna has cured me. The chronic

INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE.

At this time the ladies of the city
are busy with the work of raising
money with which to establish the Ii
brary in its new quarters. 1t is work
that had to be done and the ladies are
entitled to the thanks of the people
of Pendleton for having undertaken
the task.
The activity of the ladies in this
matter brings TO mind a fact that is
sometimes overlooked-the import
ance Of feminine influence in the de-
velopment and growth of the city.
There are people who think that the
gentler sex has little or nothing to do
with the upbuilding of town. They
think that town growth is a cold
blooded, business proposition. This is
a sad mistake.
There are pany things aside from
business that enter into the life and
growth Of a place like Pendleton. The
moral tone of the town, the social at
mosphere, the school facilities, amuse-
ments and the character of the public
library-all these things have to do
with whether or not people will re-
main in the town.
In the past Pendleton has los!
some families because there were too
many saloons here There is no rea-
son for complaint upon that score
now. Some good families have left
this city because they found the social
atmosphere too frosty. Had they re-
mained longer those people would
have found that the people Of Pendle-
ton have hearts as warm and as DEM
ocratic as any in the world.
Now, these things are not mention
ed by way of criticism, but rather to
show the Importance of feminine in
uuence III cOHHeCllOH WIFI tHe du-
vancement of the town. A man
doesn't care about society nor very
much about the moral or literary tone
of the town wherein he resides. He
is satisfied If business is good and he
is making money. But his wife may
not be satisfied and If she does not
like the town the family will not stay
here permanently.
50 let everybody applaud the work
the ladies are doing in behalf Of the |
library. May they also convert the /
old cemetery into a grassy park; Sc
cure a new theater and do other things |
for the town. The ladies know what
this town needs, many Of them bet
ter than men do. Furthermore It Is /
in their power to do much for the ad-
yancement Of the city. The ladies OF
this city are as important as are the
men-if not much more so.

TOO MUCH TOLL.

one of the most notable charac-
teristics of the guides In the Maine
wilderness is their economy In the use
of language, many OF them hardly
ever speaking except when spoken to,
and having a disinclinatlon for any
thing in the line of an extended con-
versatlon or discussion.
The story is told of a couple of
guides of this sort who were employed
together in a summer camp, and who
only spoke to each other twice a day.

seeing that change was contemplated
and imminent, rendered his abdication
and fled to Jamaica, having previously
secured large amount of public
money.
A triumvirate was now appointed,
composed of Nissage-Saget, Chevalier
and Salnave, but in June the last named
was elevated to the Presidency, and the
present constitution at once promulgat-
ed. A new insurrection broke out
against Salnave in 1868. After having
been several times defeated by the revo-
lutionists he fortified himself in Port
au Prince; but his fleet having been
captured, the town hombarded and the
grand palace completely destroyed, he
was compelled to seek safety in flight,
and, yielding to the persuasions of the
British Consul, he endeavored to escape
to Dominican territory. He was, how.
ever, captured by Cabral, and on Jan.
II, 1870, surrendered to Nissage-Saget,
who had meantime been called to the
Capital by the victorious Gen. Brice, by
whom the city had been bombarded.
Salnave was tried by court-martial, on
charges of bloodshed and treason, SEN
fenced to death and shot on the steps of
his ruined palace. He was succeeded
by Gen. Nissage-Saget, who succeeded
in defeating several instructions with
much bloodshed, until he was driven

himself driven out by Legetime, and
then continued another dreary period
of rival Presidents that it is impossible
to arrange in regular order.
Years of Turmoil and BIoodshed.
Finally Gen. Simon Sam became
President, and held the place until May,
1902, when he was driven out by COM
bination between Boisrond-Canal and
NJ. Firmin. AS soon as these obtained
the victory they quarreled among them
selves, and Firmin established his Gov
| ernment in the northern part of the
island, with Boisrond- Canal in the
southern. Firmin was finally over
thrown and banished from the country
but is now going back as one of the

west and Petion in the southwest The
eastern part of the island was repos-
sessed by Spain. Christophe was ap-
pointed Chief Magistrate for life, but
in 1911, having become dissatisfied with
his present honors, he changed his title
to that of King, calling himself Henri
!. and had the kingly office made hered-
itary in his family.
Petion continued to act as President
of the southwest till March, 1918, when
he died, universally lamented by his
people. On the other hand, the des-
potic Christophe by his arbitrary acts
provoked the vengeance of his sub
jects, and shot himself during a revolt
against his authority In October, 1920.
Boyer, who succeeded Petion in pow
er, now united all the Governments of
the west, and ruled over the whole
Haitian territory. The retrocession of
the eastern colony had been made at
the instgation of the English Govern
ment, but 1T was never fully acquiesced
in by the inhabitants, and its posses
sion by Spain had since been rather
nominal than real The proximity of

In the following years the supreme
power in Haiti was successfully held by
Herar1, Guerrier and Pierrot, till
March, 1S47, when Gen. Faustin Sou

great ambition. On Aug. 26, 1S49,
aided by the blacks, he assumed the
title of Faustin /, and caused the con-
stitution to be altered to meet the

to consolidate his power he surrounded
himself by a court composed Of Princes
of the blood, Dukes, Counts, Barons,
etc, and established two orders of
knighthood, that of St Faustin and
the Legion of Honor. He was crowned
with great pomp in 1850. His policy,
which had become despotic, his habits
| too expensive for the condition of the
country, and, above all, his impudent
| robberies of the public funds, gave rise
to sullen discomfort, which soon per-
