WHEN IN DOUBT, VOTE NO

The viciuusness of some of the pro-
posed initiative bills have been so thor
oughly discussed in Hood River county
that they are pretty we'll understood by
the voters. OF course, some of the
radically inclined electors will support
such measures as the eight hour law
and the ST.. 800 tax amendment bills,
but most Of the Hood River voters, we
fell safe in saying, will mark an en-
phatic NO on the ballot next Tuesday.
However there are so many of the
bills that many votres will not take
the time to make study of them. 1t
is probable that the proposed water
front bill has not been much discussed
here. This bill, if passed, will cause a
cessation in the development of the
state, since private individuals. or cor
porations will be refused the use OF
water frontage. The investment OF
capital for the development of the state
will be discouraged, We call attention
TO an advertisement of the Oregon Pro.
tective Association in another column
of this weeks issue that justly con.
demns this proposed bill.
And the voter, if he Is in doubt, will
make a mistake in not voting at all OF
the initiative measures and amend
ments. Not to vote at all is half {
vote cast, in reality, for the measures
and amendments. The safe course, i.
to vote no." if in doubt.

,crats have had control of congress:

kThat these figures tell the truth, that
they are the sort of statistics which
reflect the spirit as we'll as the letter,
is proved by some words uttered by
one Of the ablest Democrats in the
house, Congressman John j. J.Fitzgerald,
of Brooklyn. Congressman Fitzgerald
has been chairman of the Appropria-
tions committee ever since the Demo
Gratis came into power. Before that,
while the Republicans were in power,
he was the leading Democratic member
of the committee. His entire connec-
tion with the Appropriation commit
tee has been marked by earnest effort
to restrain government extravaganza.
These words we're uttered by him in a
spirit of des pair:
81 am looking now at Democrats
who seem to take amusement in solic-
iting votes on the floor of the House
to overturn the Committee on Appro-
priations in its efforts to carry out the
pledges of the Democratic platform.
They seem to take it to be huge joke
not to obey their platform and to make
ridiculous the efforts of the members
Of our party who do try to live up to
the promises they made to the people.
''We charged the Republicans for
twelve years of my service in he House
under Republican administration with
being grossly extravagant and reckless
in the expenditure of the public money
| believed that charge to be true. /
believed that my party, when placed in
power would demonstrate that the
charges we had made in good faith
were true. We are entitled to the help
and to the support of the member on
his side of the House in honest efforts
to carry out the pledges of the Demo.
cratic party. and in our attempts to
show what we charged in order to get
into power was true. We have not had
that support. Our Democratic col
leagues have not given that support to
US thus far during this session of con-
gress. They have unnecessarily piled
up the public expenditures until the
Democratic party is becoming the
laughing stock of the country"

Who is TO be Deputy County Clerk?

| believe that a candidate for public
Office should be perfectly frank with
the voters and tell them before elec
tion, as near as possible, what to ex-
pect from him in case they see fit to
elect him. believe that public Office
is public trust and that the public
business as any other business, should
be conducted on business principles. |
am in position TO carry out this pol
icy since my nomination for county
clerk was unsolicited, and have no
political debts to pay. Accordingly, If
elected, shall retain W. f. Hanson,
the present efficient county clerk, in
the office as my deputy as long as he Is
willing to remain. When he leaves the
office, shall select a deputy solely on
the basis of ability. regardless of party
or faction.
MIR. Shoemaker has not seen fit to
take the public into his confidence as
to the identity of his deputy in the
event of his election. but Representa-
tive G. H. Stranahan for some time has
been trying to secure the position for
his son, Oscar, and everything points
to his selection as MIR. Shoemaker s
deputy. According to the official reg.
istration, MIR. Shoemaker is % years of
age, and Oscar Stranahan is q years
of age Do the taxpayers of this
county want to turn over the important
office of county clerk to these two
young men simply because by chance
they were born in Oregon?
1t is a clean cut issue of age, eff
cheney and non-partisan business ad-
ministration versus youth. inetiiciency
and partisan administration.

Shoemaker Makes no Promise

To the voters of Hood River county:
My Democratic opponent, Mr.. j. II.
Hazlett, has seen fit TO take the public
into his confidence by announcing
through the public press that, if elect
ed, he will appoint and retain MIR. W.
+. Hanson deputy county clerk in that
office "as long as he is willing to re-
main." | am very much surprised that
my Democratic opponent should make
this public announcement and at the
same time announce to the voters my
choice as deputy clerk in view Of the
following provision of the Corrupt
Practice Act, Sec. 1904 Lords Oregon
Laws, which reads as follows: "No
person shall, in order to aid or promote
his nomination or election, directly or
indirectly, himself or through any other
person. promise to appoint another per-
son, or promise to secure or aid in Sc
curing the appointment, nomination, or
election Of another person to any pub
lie position or employment, or to any
position of honor. trust, or emolument,
except that he may publicly announce
or define what is his choice or purpose
in relation to any election in which he
may be called to take part, if elected
as a member of the legislature assem-
bly, he may pledge himself to vote for
the peoples choice for United States
senator, or state what his action will
be on such vote.
wish to assure the voters of Hood
River county that have not selected a
deputy, neither have | promised the
appointment to any person because OF
the law just above quoted and | assure
you all that If elected to that office
shall appoint a deputy who is thorough
ly competent to discharge the duties OF
the same.
am somewhat surprised at my Dem.
ocratic opponent appealing to the vot'
ers on the popularity of Mr.. Hanson.
Mr.. Hanson was before the voters al
the primary election and honorably de.
feated in an open and fair fight, and II
seems that my opponent, and Mr.. Han.
son have entered into private com
pact TO defeat me for the office by pub
licly assuring the voters that Mr.. Han
son is to be retained in the office, al
though he publicly declared before the
new salary law went into effect that he
could not afford to be county clerk al
the old salary of 800 per month, but il
seems that he is perfectly willing al
this time to sacrifice his valuable time
at $75 per month. playing second fiddle
to the chief in this Office for the pur.
pose of defeating me and thereby salts,
flying his desire of monopolizing the
clerks Office.
Again assuring the voters of this
county that have made no promises al
to the appointment Of my deputy anC
assuring you one and all that shall
highly appreciate your support at the
polls on November 3, and if elected
pledge my word and honor that you
will not regret the support given me-
Very truly,

MR.. WOLVERTON'S ANSWER

Mr.. Woverton, communication from
whom appears in another column OF
the Glacier of this issue, states that
since he is conversant with the situa-
tion he feels called upon TO answer
statements made in an editorial in the
Glacier last week, when we pointed out
that friends of Geo. l.. Cleaver, Prohi-
bition candidate for congress from this
district, were grossly misrepresenting
"Niek" Sinnott, the Republican candi-
date, who is seeking reelection.
MIR. Wolverton is one of Mr.. Cleav-
er's friends, who are going about stat
ing that MIR. Sinnott is admittedly
aligned with the liquor interests. Why?
The friends of Mr.. Cleaver do not point
out single reason that will have in
nuence with the elector who will stop
for moment to study the charge.
Mr.. Wolverton says that he remains
silent, and yet he. Mr.. Wolverton him
Sell, pulnbS uul tudt III HIS platlOiih
MIR. Sinnott announces that he shall
vote as his constituents signify their
desires by their own votes. And Mr..
Sinnott says that he will vote on the
national prohibition bill as his constitu-
ents vote in November. What fairer
stand could any man ask2
Mr.. Wolverton says that member of
a national Legislature should be lead
er in thought, instead of follower.
Let us suppose that Mr.. CleaVer were
elected to congress by the yoters-we
do not think he will be-of the second
congressional district. Being a leader
in thought, as Mr.. Wolverton argues,
he would be perfectly justified in
changing his mind. Now just suppose
Mr.. Cleaver were elected and changed
his mind? Mr., Wolverton and those
other friends who have been so Jealous
in their journeys up and down the dis
trict in his behalf, would have seven
teen different kinds of conniption fits.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY PREDICTED

Indications point to a general Repub-
lican victory in Oregon next Tuesday
all along the line. A travelling man
who covers large part Of the state
sa,d a few days ago that from volun-
tary expressions he heard among his
customers many Republicans who had
voted for Democratic candidates for
governor aud United States senator
heretofore, would this year cast
straight vote for the Republican ticket.
The disasters Of the present govern
ment, the extravaganza OF the Demo-
cratic congress, and the depression in
many lines of business caused by the
new tariff bill, with its determinations
against the home producer and manu-
faeturer. have caused heavy deficien-
cy in the national treasury that must
be made up by burdens that will fall
on those who can Ill afford them. The
only remedy is a Republican majority
in congress. Now is the time for the
Republican state Of Oregon to elect
man who will help make that majority.
X. A. Booth will ably fill that position.
The vicious attack of Governor West
on the personal character Of Mr.. Booth
was shown up in the joint debate last
week in Portland. in which Mr.. Booth
answered every charge made to the
satisfaction Of every voter who is not
blindly partisan, and from expressions
heard, the tactics used by the Cham
berlain.West machine will turn votes
from Chamberlain rather than from
Booth.
Mr.. Withycombe's election as gov
ernor to succeed MIR. West is practically
assured, and every effort is now being
directed by the Democratic machine to
return Mr.. Chamberlain by fair means
or foul. But they have overshot the
mark. We predict the election OF K.
A. Booth to the United States senate.

TORTURE FOR C0NVlCTS.
The Cruel Methods In Use In Portu-
gals Mozambique Colony.

ne CrueI methods IN Use IN Fortu-
gals Mozambique Colony.
Mozambique being one of the prin-
cipal convict settlements Of the Portu-
guese government, many poor crea-
lures make desperate dashes for liber-
ty only to be devoured by the sharks
before the eyes of their guards. 1t
was no uncommon event to hear the
fortress gun boom forth, announcing
that another poor soul was running
this ghastly gantlet of the sharks SOON
er than exist like half starved dog
In deplorable surroundings.
There being no capital punishment
under Portuguese law, many Of the
convicts were of course of the most
desperate type-notorious murderers,
and so on. Some of them, after
certain time and as reward for good
conduct were allowed TO work on
parole, leaving the fortress in the
morning and returning at night, ply
ing their various trades to their own
advantage. Others of more danger
GUS character might be seen working
In chains on the road, guarded by
slovenly half caste sepoys.
Outside the dungeon cells were
whipping posts, over which poor crea-
lures had to kneel, their arms and
legs being bound to iron rings, while
lashes were administered with a chi
cote, a strip of hippo hide. Palma
toria was another torture used, AL
though Illegal to Portuguese law, 1t is
nevertheless still widely used, causing
excruclating pain. The implement
employed is fat, spoon shaped
heavy piece of hard wood about an
inch and a half thick, with a handle
eighteen inches long, the spoon head
being perforated with five holes. The
person to lie punished extends the
palms of his hands, and sharp, regu-
lar blows are administered. which at
each stroke suck up the flesh. The
bravest can rarely stand more than
thirty blows, for the tortured hands
swell to double their natural size.
The sentence is often several hundred
blows, the punishment continuing on
succeeding days until Justice" is sat
isfied. .-Sibyl Belcher in Wide World

UNSELFISH SAVAGES.
Generosity Of the senisavase Eskimos
of Arctic Siberia.

Of Arctic Siberia.
Probably no more clannish-and un-
selfish-people exist than the natives
of the arctic coast of Siberia, the low
est type of semisavage Eskimos. They
are ever thinking of one another's wei
fare, and II one comes into possession
of anything Of value he never thinks
of keeping it for himself, but calls
the other members of the tribe to share
with him. If whale Is taken or a
polar bear, caribou or walrus is killed
the meat is divided among all the
igloos. Even during the hard winter,
when there Is a shortage of food, II a
seal is brought In by some fortunate
hunter the meat and blubber are equal
ly distributed.
Four men from East Cape, the ST.
berian side of Bering strait, were
taken aboard the whale ship Narwhal
to make up the boat crews for whaling
In the Arctic. All through the summer
season they remained aboard the YES
sci, doing their share of the perilous
and wearisome work. When the YES
sci returned to East Cape on its way
south the captain made a pile of -four,
sugar, hard bread, calico, tobacco, car
tridges, needles and thread, tea, match

heart. 1t was their wages, and the Es-
kimos were proud of their wealth.
The walrus hide canoes came along
side, and the four men were taken
ashore with their riches. At the wa
ter's edge every article was delivered
to waiting hands, and when the men
who had worked all summer for these
necessaries and luxuries started for
their igloos they carried all they kept
for themselves in their hands. They
were almost as poor as they were when
they started ON the cruise, but the vii
lage was temporarily happy, and SO

GOLFERS GIVES DEMO
CRATIC EXTRAVAGANCE
From Golfers Weekly

Certain documents and extracts from
documents make clear the argument
upon which the Democrats are very
much on the defensive at this moment.
The first is from the national platform
adopted by the Democratic Convention
at Baltimore which nominated Wood
row Wilson:
1--WE denounce the profiigate waste
of the money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation through the lavish
appropriations of recent Republican
congresses, which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of
the peoples toll. We demand return
to that simplicity and economy which
BELTS democratic government and a
reduction in the number Of useless
offices, the salaries of which drain the
substance of the people" To this
declaration emphasis was added by yet
another expression. the last line of the
platform, phrasod in consciously solemn
words: "0ur pledges are made to be
kept when in Office.
Pass now to the actual figures of ap-
preparations during the time the Dem
ocTafs have had controi of congress-.

The $500 Tax Exemption
(Baker Herald

1t takes just so much money to con-
duct the affairs of the state. Most of
this is raised by taxation and that
amount must be raised to conduct the
states business. If the $500 exemp-
tion is put into effect it will simply
mean that the taxes on the land must
be made greater. That will put an ad-
ditonal burden on the person who owns
a small piece of land just as it does on
{ e owner of larger holdings. House
hold goods are now exempt and will
remain so if the $500 tax amendment
does not go into effect. The $500 tax
amendment is one of tie single tax
ideas that W. S. U'Ren has been striv-
ing for and it should be voted down
Just as single tax has been heretofore
