Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1910-09-09

ana occupying o tack-polnted,
Webster-upholstered seat in a
den two-by-twice, oil this con-
tanned within four walls that
were originally intended to shell
ter a better enterprise beneath
its roof, must reflect only as a
boomerang to its writer and
those guilty of abetting the same.
As to the honesty of the Senator
thus attacked, we believe it will
compare favorably with the av-
erage otiiceholder now before the
public-they are oil held up to
the mirror of public censure-
but we do believe that, in the
presence of the one they so
broadly assail, they would grovel
in the dust and seek madly for
the fallen crumbs of coin that
they naturally imagine falls from
his always generous purse. We
have no apology to offer for the
Senator or his works - if he
wants to go back to the Senate
and does go and thereby makes
money after he gets there, we
ask our neighbor if he can in
form us why those of his own
party or faction are breaking
their necks in their anxiety to
break into the game. Is it for
love of country or are they just
spending their money to get into
office so they can point back and
say to some ill-mannered, un-
couth member of the family tree,
See what have done: Me, q
public official with my name en-
graved upon the tablet of State:
performing the duties of an Office
paying a paltry sum but which
cost me thousands to secure-and
then some"
The Times in its inability to
find material for further space
filling, calls attention to brake
beam Willies" and lousy loaf
ers," which allusion no doubt
must have been an article that
the Times police reporter was
writing in his usual desire to
condemn some poor unfortunate
stranger who dropped into town
in search of honest means of
livelihood. This is q staunch
policy of the Times in their eff
fort to kick the down-trodden
and oppressed. But the makeup
got the articles mixed in his u.s.
ual makeshift way and struck
his thumb with the hammer with
which he tried to hit the nail.
There are many capable writers
and printers among the followers
of the road, and should one ap-
pear at the Office of the Times we
would suggest that he be given
the place now occupied by the
entire force, as we feel assured
that even the most incompetent
tourist that follows journalism
for a livelihood would kick him.
self could he not accomplish
more and better work in half the
time, alone and unassisted, than
is now being done by the entire
Times force who prolong the af-
Fiction from week to week at
the mercy of a patient public.
But enough for this time you
dear old crumbs of party COM
fort"; cheer up. Go into this
factional game for all you are
worth. You have started it.
Stand up and fight and don't
squeal like a stuck pig because
in your moments of senility you
feel unequal to the task. Have
hope, it's a great tonic. But. if
hope will not accomplish the
work, then resort to the columns
of your futile attempt" and ap-
ply the proper remedy therein
prescribed. If you believe your
cause is right, stand by it, work
nard; we are going to. do the
same. 1t is the principle not the
individual, for which we are
fighting, and we hope this fact
will sink into your poor brain.
Whether John johnson or Jacob
Jacobson aspire for anti-assemb-
ly honors, it matters not to US if
he is honest-and we believe he
is unless otherwise proven. He
is our candidate as long as he
travels in the Insurgent band
wagon and has the welfare of
the people at heart, and not
pledged with a party clique for
personal gain.
