The Truth

residence, There are many that
claim that Deneen IS no friend TO
the coIored people or rather say
they are for Yates in preference

coIored help at the III tnsion.
whereas Deneen had none. Be
not deceived; be not fooled bv
the song Of the siren, for IT will
transform you To mere weaklings.
The truth about Deneen and
\ ateS is this: There has been
no colored person regularly EN-
ployed at the mansion during
Deheen S lncum bency, but Mr..
Deneen has IL or II more
men under him than Mr.. Yates
had and the positions are far
more meritorious. We have moth.

Yates-out this is the fact ia the

The Great
Political Thought

The greatest politica though
in the world is that embodied in
the declaration of independence.
namely, that all men are created
equa This is the basis of pop.
ular government. and popular
government is spreading. II does
not mean that men are. or will
be, equal IN physical strength. in
intellectual ability, in moral
character or weaIth-it simply
means that God never give to
one human being a natural right
hat he denied to any other hu.
man being, and that is The con.
temptation of government all
must stand equal before the law.
Out of this basic principle all
other political principles grow
and by 1t all methods of govern
ment and all policies must be
measured.-The Commoner.

HENEY-FULToN CONTROVERSY
Statewide Interest In the Charges
Against Fulton.

A Salem item says of the state
wide interest in the Heney-Fulton
controversy over the Oregon land
frauds and Fulton's guilt:
The Heney-Fulton episode has
aroused intense interest in political
circles and further developments are
anxiously awaited. Senator Fulton's
friends assert that Heney's attack
will bring the senator enthusiastic
support in his campaign for re-
election.
On the other hand, close friend
of Heney's, who is probably in po-
sition to know. says that Heney will
stump the state against Fulton and
lay directly before the people the
specific charges he has made hereto
fore by insinuation only Whether
these charges will be any more Sc
rious than the -Brownell letter
discloses, is not stated, but the pre-
diction is made that the campaign

Four flies and earth worm consti-
tuted the meal Of the little black
creature that had been buried for SC
many centuries in limestone rock SOC
feet down in silver mine at Butte,

covering his eyesight and the use OF

ages. He has already emitted several

come back.

will be one of the hottest the people
of Oregon have ever seen.
The flat denial and challenge by
Fulton on the one hand, and the
reputation OF Heney for making
good" on the other together with the
prominence of both men, have given
the controversy an exciting inter-
est. The outcome is the chief topic
OF discussion in political circles,

little chance for any contentious. II

and the only vacancy to be filled is
that Of street commissioner.

In connection with the death OF
Grover Cleveland, it is interesting to
note that only twice before in the his
tory of the nation has the United
States been without living expresi-

1899, when John Adams. the second
president, was in Office. Andrew
Johnson, at the time the only sur

away in 1875, two years before Gen.
eral Grant retired to private life.
A prohibition agitation in Florida
appears inevitable, unless many of
the state senators and representatives
violate an obligation made in the re-
cent campaign and go back also on
declarations publicly made since the
primary which was held last month.
The constitution of Florida provi les
for local option, and prohibition is
impossible unless the constitution is
amended by a majority of the votes
of the people. The prohibitionists
are confident that if the question
comes to a vote they will carry the
state by a big majority.
