The Inter views with republican "leaders" that have been appearing in the Oregon Ian show conclusively the designs of the assemblyitus. The "leaders" hate the direct primary law and they want to annul it. Through the introduc tion of the assembly system the poli ticians want to revive the old con vention system though leaving Ore gon nominally a direct primary state. It is easy to understand why pro fessional politicians do not like the primary law. Through the opera tions of the law the old political rings have been broken. The losses have lost their prestige and the ward heel ers and other ring workers have lost their pulL All men are equal under the direct primary law. vFhen men seek office they must run upon their merits, they cannot "fix things" with a county or a state boss. Under the primary law the "old school" poli tician is a discredited being. Now the question Is, do the people of Umatilla county and of Oregon want to return to tne "old school?" Do they want to revive bosslsm with all Its abuses? Do they want to have political races "fixed" before they are started or do they want individuals to seek office strictly upon their mer its? Do they want government by a few men who have selfish interests to promote or government by many men who seek merely to promote the public welfare? If you want to go back to the "old school" of politics then you may well favor the assembly scheme. But If you like the "new deal" then get ready to fight the assembly candidates. The assembly scheme was devised for the purpose of undoing the direct pri mary law. NEW WORK FOR WOMEs. Women have been employed as tell ers In a New York bank for five years. It Is appropriate that the Institution should be named the Maiden Lane Sa vings bank, says the Spokesman-Review. Considerable skepticism was expressed at the time the Innovation was made regarding the aptness of women for the work of tellers, which makes some peculiar demands. But the bank has Just Issued a statement to the effect that It feels Justified In pronouncing1 the experi ment a success. It says that the wo men nre punctual, pleasant to custom' crs and quick nt detecting discrepan cies lu signatures. The women tellers nre nlso pronounced to bo exception ally reliable. Since they have held the positions there h.ts been no short. kp of cash and no need to coll upon their bondsmen. It Ims been commonly said for nffes that women nre more richiy endowed than men with that mysterious and very useful ijuality known as Instinct. And it is easy to see that this quality would he especially helpful to them In dealing with the customers of a bank. The woman teller who steps back to look at the ledger when a cheek is presented probably escapes the abuse which unreasonable Individu als would heap upon a man in her place for not knowing that they have a balance at the bank. A IWYORABLE PROJECT. Under the auspices of the Pendle ton Commercial association some mighty good work Is being done towards urging the government to ex- j tend the Umatilla project. What the , final outcome of the matter will be I i remains to be seen, yet the outlook at this time seems favorable indeed and the extension is at least a proba bility. Without discounting in the least the merits of other eastern Oregon projects It seems clear to the East Oregoninn that the Umatilla exten sions should be made before any other big government enterprises, are un dertaken in Oregon. The land In cluded in the proposed extension of the Umatilla project is very accessible. One transcontinental railway line runs directly through the tract; an other line, the North Bank road, is but a few miles distant while the mighty Columbia furnishes a third means of transportation. Then the land west of the Uma'illa lies at a low altitude, the soil is good and the climate favorable. All these con- ditions insure that the land will be-: come wonderfully productive and of great value if placed under irrigation. The reclamation men will have to go far to find a more inviting field for work than that presented by the Umatilla extension. THIS IS I5KTTEI!. The government has made open announcement to the effect that 1200 acres of the land under the Umatilla project will be thrown open to entry February 10. As a result ot tbls an- nouncement all who desire to secure land under the project may have eiual opportunities for doing so. Such has not been the situation in the past. On two previous occasions when land was opened to entry the fact was not made public. The fact that land was open to entry was known to but a favop-d few -and they took advan tage of the information. As a result there was some sharp criticism of the government and in this criticism the East Oregonian Joined. Seemingly there can be no complaint upon this score with reference to the coming opening. A Spokane woman who posts us a leader of the equal suffrage move ment says that should women be giv en the ballot they would abolish the American army. .She evidently thinks the world is civilized. But it is not. Over half of the world is still in the primary class. In the orient several hundred millions of people are just beginning to learn the art of war. Banker Walsh must also go to jail. Surely something has happened. He in the second big financier that has been doomed to prison stripes. With dogs and cats as well as chickens on exhibition nt the poultry show there will certainly be "some thing stirring." Many Oregon towns are now getting ready to do street paving. But Pen dlton Is the city that led out with this improvement. Pendleton need the extension of the Umatilla project and also an elec tric line through the project. THE CIIIII LABOR COMMITTEE. Reforms do not come of themselves Abuses are not corrected automatic ally. Last year twenty-eight states made Important amendments to their school anl child labor laws. If It were possible to trace all these efforts to their ultimate source, it would prob ably be found that the initial impulse In most pases came from the 'National Child Labor Committee, which has Its headquarters at 105 East Twenty second street. New York City. This committee, organized In 1904 and In corporated in 1907, has done a noble work in the Investigation of child la bor conditions, making public the facts In a series of pamphlets of which No. 107 has Just been Issued. As the work Is supported entirely by volun tary memberships, anyone who wishes to make a Christmas gift to childhood in general cannot do better than to add his name to the roll of 4.600 con tributing members. Despite all that has been done, a vast amount of labor remains to be accomplished.

In spite of sentiment and legislation, the number is still increas ing. Compuisory education and fac u.iry inspection' are but insufficient safeguards.

To this end the national child la- bor committee deserves all encour agement, especially at this season vhen the Children's Friend became a hild. Pittsburg (Pa.) Gazette-Times. HEALTH NOTES. - More people suffer from overeating than from eating too little. Those who lead an active life need stronger food. In larger quantities, than those who lead a more quiet anil sedentary life. Those who use cereals extensively are capable of harder and more en during manual labor than thoe who are nourished on meat as a staple food. Those who live in a warm, close, ill-ventilated room are much more likely to take cold upon slight ex posure than those who accustom themselves to a moderate temperature and keep the living room well venti lated. Indigestion, weak "lungs. flabby muscles and sluggish circulation nre often cured, always improved, by careful daily exercise appropriate to the part of the body to be acted up on. Careful hygienic treatment will render drugs and nostrums useless in a majority of cases.
