Special to The Netcs.

Special to The Ne,os.
Amite City, La, Feb. 2S.-Mrs. ].
A. Dilworth, mother of Mrs. J. r.
Johnson, a lady much beloved by ev-
cry one who knew her. was found
dead in bed at her residence in this
place Saturday morning.
Mr.. Dilworth,, her husband, had a
business engagement in New Orleans
today, and arose quite early in order
to catch the train. He occupied the
same room and bed with his wife, and
he arose, dressed himself and left for
the train without telling her goodbye,
for he said she was resting and he
did not want to disturb her.
Even at that time Mrs. Dilworth
must have been dead, for when dis
covered some time after her husband
had left it was evident that the good
woman had passed away some time
before.
The cause of her death is moi
known as yet, but that it was sudder
and without any apparent struggle
seems perfectly evident from the fac
that Mr.. Dilworth, who was ever [
devoted husband, was not disturbe'
in the least by any demonstration Of
her part while he was sleeping be
side her.
The body will be shipped to Col
J inth, Miss, where the interment wi
, take place.

ELECT SAYLOR ALSO.

1t is as j. w. Maloney pointed out
in his speech at Echo Wednesday
night. If the people of this county
want a new deal in the handling OF
the county's business they should elect
J. B. Saylor as we'll as Mr.. Maloney.
If Mr.. Maloney is elected county
judge he will go in for clean up.
He will seek to do away with abuses
that have grown up under the present
administration and to give the county
z clean, businesslike administration
But he will be unable to do the best
work unless he has a commissioner
who will work with him and thus give
him a majority upon the board. ]
B. Saylor, who is running for com
missioner, is of the same type Of mar
as Mr.. Maloney. He is a clean-cut
upright business man. He will max,
a capable commissioner and will sup
port Mr.. Maloney in the reforms hi
hopes to accomplish.
Friends of Mr.. Maloney should vott
for Mr.. Saylor also.

MAKING SMITH VOTES.

Within the past two days scores Of
republicans who had been thinking
Of voting for Mr.. Burgess have flock
ed to the support Of DR.. c. J. Smith.
They have been driven to DR.. Smiths
defence by the dirty malicious and
unjust attacks made upon the doctor.
They resent the fact that a physician
who has done the generous and noble
work that DR.. Smith has done during
his long practice in this county should
be called yulture. They resent the
ignoble appeal that has been made
for them toiFvote against Senator
Smith because he is a physician. They
resent the fact that the assembly poll
ticians should consider them such
swine as to be influenced by an ap-
peal Of that sort. They do right to
resent that appeal.
DR.. Smith is going to be elected by
a landslide. Join in.

DUTY Is duty" That is the Stuart
motto. SO he did what the manual

In contrast with Bowerman Oswald
West stands out in fine relief. West
has a splendid record as a clean. cap
able and courageous official. AS state
land agent and as railroad commits
sioner he has rendered good service
t. this state. He has been tried in
the fire and found true steel. Vests
enemies can find nothing against
him. They have striven desperately
TO do so but have failed. About their
only accusation is that Jonathan
Bourne, republican United States SEN
ator, is supporting him. That is no
argument against West.
The situation calls for the election
OF Oswald West as governor of Ore
sen. If right and justice triumph in
this election he will be elected.

Cause that's where the moo comes

En- the moo-cow-moo's got deers on

En- his eyes stick out o. their place.

GETIISENiANE.

In golden youth, when seems the
earth
A summer land for singing mirth,
When souls are glad and hearts are
light
And not shadow turks in sight,
We do not know it, but there lies
Somewhere, veiled under evening
skies,
A garden each must some time see,
Gethsemane, Gethsemane,
Somewhere his own Gethsemane.
With joyous steps we go our ways,
Love leads a halo to the days.
Light sorrows sail like clouds, afar,
We laugh and say how strange we are
We hurry on, and hurrying go,
Close to the borderland of woe
That waits for you and waits for me,
Gethsemane, Gethsemane,
Forever waits Gethsemane.
Down shadowy lanes, across strange
streams,
Bridged over by our broken dreams.
Behind the misty cape of years,
Close to the great salt font of tears
The garden lies: strive as you may
You can not miss it in your way.
All paths that have been or shall be
Pass somewhere
Through Gethsemane.
All those who journey, soon or late
Must pass within the gardens gate:
Must kneel alone in darkness there
And battle with some fierce despair.
God pity those who can not say
Not mine, but thine; who only
pray,
Let this cup pass" and can not see
The purpose in Gethsemane.
Gethsemane, Gethsemane,
God help us through Gethsemane!

GO ASK MIR. BURGESS.

Mr.. Burgess is resorting to the old,
old trick of denying something of
which he has not been accused. He
seeks to show he did not know of the
resolution that was introduced at the
woolgrowers' convention until after it
vas introduced. Very well. He was
not accused of anything on that line.
The East Oregonian's story stated
plainly that R. F, Hynd prepared and
presented that resolution. 1t is sig
'nificant though that Mr.. Burgess did
not speak against that resolution.
The charge against Mr.. Burgess is
that in his annual address to the WOOL
growers he officially urged them to
use every effort to have a republican
elected senator instead of Chamber
lain. In other words he wanted to
induce the statement No. l legislators
to break the sworn pledges they had
made their people. He was playing
Ormsby McHarg and wanted all the
sheepmen to do it. The resolution in
troduced was logical sequence to the
recommendation Mr.. Burgess made
in his annual address. Doubtless that
re solution would have carried had not
Dan P. Smythe and others seen the
enormity of the thing and exposed it.
This is legitimate attack. This Is
not dirty politics. Mr.. Burgess at
titude towards statement No. 1 is at
issue in this campaign. He processes
to be a statement No. l man, though
he came into the fold at a late hour.
The East Oregonian questions his sim
cerity as a statement man. In doing
SO this paper points out that less than
two years ago Mr.. Burgess in an Of
fetal address tried to get the sheep
men of the state to induce statement
men to break their pledges Isn't that
good proof?
If you do not believe this charge is
true go ask ]. n. Burgess. He can
not deny his own official address He
does not deny it. If you cannot see
through the trickery of the denial
made in his behalf ask him about it.
He can explain that also.

DEFEAT JAY BOWERMAN.

There are many good reasons why
the people of oregon should oppose
jay Bowerman's election as govor-
nor. His record is such as to make
him distinctly undesirable for that
high office.
This state has direct primary law
and the people believe in that law.
1t has done away with vast amount
of political corruption. Bowernian's
record shows he is a dangerous enemy
of this law. In the last legislature he
favored the Mariner bill which would
have legalized assemblies had 1t pass
eG. Bowerman was chief hacker of
the assembly which was held last
summer in violation of the spirit and
letter of the direct primary law. He
outraged that assembly by packing 1t
for his benefit while making other
candidates believe it would be an open
affair.
The people of oregon believe in the
direct election Of United States sena-
tors under statement No. l. Bower
ruan has always been an anti-state-
ment man. He has twice been elect
ed as state senator and both times he
refused to take the statement. Only
a few weeks ago he refused to allow
the republican state committee to
pass a resolution endorsing statement
No. I.
Bowerman is a Hartman attorney
and his record In the state senate Ia
that of a pro-railroad legislator. The
first time the IA hour bill for railroad
employees came up he aided in the de-
feat of the measure. That was blow
at the railway employees and blow
at the travelling public.
Bowerman refused to vote for Os-
wald Vests bill which looked to the
restoration to the state Of a million
dollars worth of land now held by
the Hartman railroads. He absented
himself from the senate to keep from
voting for that bill. The bill carried
without his vote.
Bowerman's record shows that he
was a legislative lieutenant Of ]. Thor
born Ross, convicted head Of the de-
funct Title Guarantee & Trust COM
pany of Portland. Under the code
name of "Joinder" he worked for the
passage of bills desired by Ross. One
OF those bills enabled Ross to get
s395.000 OF the school funds into his
bank which afterwards became de-
funct. Another bill enabled Ross to
keep Judge Marquam from getting Q
review of the lawsuit by which he had
lost the Marquam block to the Ross
bank. These charges have not been
denied by Bowerman nor by the pa
pers supporting his cause.
r In .Umatilla county Bowerman II
known particularly as school killer.
Two years ago he tried to kill the
Eastern Oregon normal school. He
failed in the attempt but succeeded
in cutting off the funds Of the school
90 that a private subscription had to
be raised to enable the school to fin
ieh the year and graduate its senior
class. Bowerman did not oppose the
Eastern Oregon normal upon its mer-
its. The East Oregonian has proven
this conclusiveiy. He jobbed it to
turn a trick that you'd further hi,
own political ambitions

| New York, November 5.-The World
tells how Rooseyelts vote in 1901 cost
the Pennsylvania railroad 1920.
Corporation expenditures for polit-
ical purposes and especially such ex-
penditures by public service corpora
tons, have supplied one of the prin-
cipaI sources of corruption in our po-
litical affairs. Col. Roosevelt at Os-
a watomie, Kans., August 81.
Theodore Roosevelt became presi-
dent Of the United States on the death
of President Mckinley, September Ia,
1901 The following November ne
went from Washington to Oyster Bay
to record his vote in the state and
municipal elections.
The campaign that had been waged
was against four years of corruption in
the city government under Mayor Rob
ert A Van Wyck 1t was a campaign
against big and petty graft. 1t so ap-
pealed to the honest voters of the
city tket Van Wyck and his train of
grafteTs were utterly reunited, and
Seth Low was elected by some 3d.
900 plurality.
Among these who cast their votes
for Low, for honesty against graft
was President Roosevelt. He left
Washington at IL a. M on Monday,
November A.. in the private car Lu-
cania, and ON his arrival in New York
went to the home of his aunt, Mrs.
James A. Roosevelt at No. 4, West
Fffty-seventh street. The" next day,
election day, he went to oyster Bay
to vote.
Accompanying the president on this
journey in the special car from Wash.
ington were Mrs. Roosevelt, the pres
dents secretaries, DR.. Rixey, the
white house physician; Harry Pinck-
ney, Mr.. Roosevelt's bodyguard, and
special car was attached to the Con
numerous, secret service men. Return
ing to Washington the same day, his
gressional Limited that left Jersey
City over the Pennsylvania railroad
at 3:45 p m.
Commenting on the result of the
election in New York at that time.
President Roosevelt said:
The news from New York is most
encouraging to the friends of good
government. It Shows what the peo-
pie can do when they have the will
anil when they arise in their might,
for the overthrow of that which they
believe to be wrong"
The cost to an ordinary citizen who
wished to pay his railroad bill for
similar services would approximate
1920.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not pay the Penn
sylvania railroad for the accommo-
dations furnished. The bill is still
unpaid.
