USING THE RECALL.

!, In Oregon a judge and county com.
missioner In Clackamas county were
recalled recently, because the two Ut
Ecials had made practice of letting
big contracts for public work to pet
companies, without calling for bids.
and because of other acts of misman-
ageing the public funds.
During the recall campaign tho
two officials declared they had been
acting within the letter of the law.
and protested the honesty of their in
tentions.
The people listened to their en-
p!anations-and then decided that
while perhaps the two men had kept
within the letter of the law they hal
violated its spirit, had abused their
trust and had wasted the public mon
eys. Hence. without wishing to in
dict the two officers. they desired to
discharge them.
RS handy. thing to have the re-
call power over public officials. Some
times it Is needed.-kansas City Star.

LET US BE FAIR.

The one sane and sensible thing for
each of the two punches OF voters IN
the First. who are opposed to the cleo
ton OF Democrat, to do is to re-
nominate their common candidate
of the last election. Republicans and
frogrcssives alike can do this
without any loss OF party prestige q,

sivc newspaper and that part of H.
advice tending to get the Republic
cans together on Il single candidate is
good. but why cannot the Post be
broad enough to specify any good pro-
tcctionist for this nomination with e.
cut seeking to name Que man, and
one man only. in this great district
which has hundreds of able men who
are not only qualified to fill this pc.
sition but who are sound upon tho
paramount issue of protection upon
which the Republicans and Progress
sives agree.
Mr.. Laughlin was at the last cleo
ton the candidate of both parties.
He was at that time just as much a
Progressive as lie is to-day and while
the Republicans placed him upon the
ticket as a Republican candidate 1t
did not change his principles and he
stood then for protection which was
the issue. But he Is not the only man
in the district who meets these re-
quircmcnts. If the Republicans could
a. that time nominate Il Progressive
could not the Progrcssivcs at this
time. If they insist on separate tick
ct, nominate a Republican who is
really progressive from principle if
not from name. Turn about Is fair
play in politics and cannot the Pro-
eressives be fair now when an oppor-
tunfty presents itself to elect a man
to congress who will stand by the
principles Of protection under which
the great manufacturing interests Of
this district have been built UP and
maintained?

Work of Amateurs.

In Missouri 35o.OOO men worked

worth $1,000, 900. This plan Of
work may BE- all right, but the sys-

MR.. HEARNE's ANNOUNCEMENT.

{ Mr.. Hearne has well served his
county In the House of Delegates and
fs'at this time member of the State
Senate. He has, as his record shows,
allied himself with the people In the
consideration Of all the progressive
legislation that has recently been be-
fore the legislature of the State aud
the record he has made Is indeed graf
flying to the public, whether he Is
promoted to the national law making
body or not.
Senator Hearnc recognizes. AS most
every thoughtful business man of this
district does. that the policy of pro.
lection must be adhered to and this
question will be the paramount issue
In the coming contest. and well
should 1t be for there Is no question
that will so vitality effect the future
prosperity and growth of this great
district as the tariff policy OF the ma
