In a letter to the Portland Oregon Ian Jay Bowerman, candidate for gov ernor, seeks to pacify the progressive element of the republican party by the declaration that if elected gover nor he will oppose any attempt to change the direct primary 'aw. The statement sounds fair as it was Intended to sound. But it should in fluence no one. N'o change In the di rect primary law Is needed by the re actionaries if their assembly scheme wins out. The assembly Is change enough. If it goes it will virtually annul the direct primary law though that law will still be left Intact upon the statute books. If assemblylsm wins we will be living outwardly un der a direct primary system but as a natter of fact we will have the old convention system back In a far more Vicious form than ever. Mr. Bowerman is an adroit politici an as his record will show. He knows that the direct primary law is a good law and a popular measure. So he la seeking the support of the direct primary men of his party by promis ing to oppose any change In that law. But he does not promise to oppose assemblylsm which would make a mockery out of the' primary law though leaving It Intact upon the books. In the coming election Bowerman should be judged by what he has done and not by what he may say at this time. His record as the leader and bess of the assembly shows that he Is the most dangerous sort of an enemy of the direct primary. DOT TRY IT. The Oregonlan wants Portland to get hoggish and swipe our Round-up. Commenting editorially upon our show Monday the Portland paper suggests that a frontier celebration be held In Portland In connection with the live stock show each fall. A friendly aug. geatlon indeed! It reminds the East Oregonlan of the Indian -who noticed . brother redskin's pony and said That good horse; I steal him." But It Is a rich joke the Idea of "having a frontier celebration In Port land. To pull off such a gathering on tha Country Club track in Portland -would be like attiring a cowpucher In a dress aulf. If they had to per- fcrm In Portland the buckaroos who were here last week would be as em harassed a a new boy In school. They would not be able to ylpe above a whisper and they would be afraid their hats were on crooked. Xor would good mustangs buck In the humid atmosphere down In Web foot. Only the clear sunshine and bracing ozone of eastern Oregon can make bronchos tramp the sky as they did here last week. Pull off a meet it Portland and General Passenger Agent McMurray would get no such thrills as he felt Saturday when "Blue Blitzes" stepped through the fence and waltzed toward the grand stand on one ear and one toe. It would be a grave mistake to try to hold a Round-up In Portland nnd would Incidentally be very unjust to Pendleton. If Portland wants some entertainment for fall time let them get up something original and appro priate. Like a gum boot carnival or a row-boat festival. A PROGItESSIVE CANDIDATE. It is welcome news that there will i be a candidate in the field against T. I J. Mahoney, candidate for re-election ,af joint representative. Though a member of the republican party Mr. Mahoney is not In sympathy With the j best element of that party. He is an 1 assemblyite and an anti-statement 'man. He was a delegate to that j sainted assembly held in Portland In j direct defiance of the direct primary law. In other words he is one of those pvho say that ordinary people haven't i sense enough to name candidates for : office and that a few politicians 'should get together and do the work ' for them. I Mr. Mahoney is also badly out of tune with respects to the election of senators. He has always declined to take statement No. 1 nnd two years ago in the house he voted for the Brooke-Bean hill which would have made it a crime for a man to pledge himsolf to vote for the popular choice for senator. j In Bon F. Hill, progressive republi airns will find a man whom they can 4)i-"upport with more consistency than :t!"r-y can Mr. Mahoney. Mr. Hill Is a democrat, but he Is a progressive. He 1 i.' of the vniinffpr nolitirnl feneration 'nnil stands for those things in whlph progressive republicans believe. He . a statement man and believes In obeying the direct primary law In spir it and letter. He has the personal fit ness for the office and If elected as joint representative will give a good account of himself In the legislature. - Hell has no spot too hot for the I fiends who blew up the Los Angeles Times. It Is almost unbelievable that such crimes are committed in this day and age. They would have been more in place in Xero's day. Another fea ture of the dynamiting of the Times is the fact that it will cast much un just reproach upon labor unionism. The deed was the work of fanatics or of fiends and shold not be charged up to unionism. Tet In the minds of thousands of people such will be done. That one night's work has hurt union ism on the Pacific coast more than could the Los Angeles Times have done by a thousand years of criticism. The defeat of C. P. Strain for the nomination for railroad commission er shows the Injustice of the alpha betical arrangement of the ballot. The ballot should be equalllzed by placing the names of various candidates alter nately at the top. This Is now done In some states. The Hcrmlston Bank & Trust com pany should thank those would-be robbers for the compliment. THE VARIATIONS OF LOVE. Into a telegraph office in an east ern town there recently came a much agitated young woman. She wrote upon one telegraph blank, tore It In halves, wrote a second, which she treated In the same manner, and at last a third. This she handed to the operator, requesting, in a trembling voice, that he "hurry it up." The operator obeyed Instructions, and when the young woman had gone he read the two messages that she had torn in halves. The first was: "All is over. I never wish to see you again." The second read: "Do not write or try to see me at present." And the third ran: "Can you take the next train? Please answer. October Llppincott's. THK COLLEGE JOURNALIST. At the University of Missouri is a working school of Journalism. As practical laboratory wont, a dally pa per, with telegraphic reports, la Is sued. .Walter Williams, Its dean, tells of the vicissitudes he encounters In turning laymen Into Journalists. A student was sent In haste to cov. er a railroad wreck at a town a few miles away. It was almost time for the dally to go to press and still no word had been received from the young man on the assignment. In desperation Dean Williams tele graphed, asking why the story was not forthcoming. The reply was: "Too much excitement. Walt until things iulet down." For good, dry slab wood, call at or phone your order to the Oregoa Lumber Yard. F f!0 VAl!

They divide with giants the interest of a thousand nursery talis. To no small extent the domain of superstition Is invaded by them. All countries, more or less are infested by gnomes and goblins. They appeal to the imagination, and con nected with them there is always at least a suggestion of the supernatural. Nevertheless, the accounts of the pigmies given by Herodotus and oth ers had long been But down as purely fictional when they were rediscover ed by Schweinfurth. He found that the men averaged about fur feet six inches In height, while the women were three or four inches shorter. Their color was like that of "coffee slightly roasted;" their legs were short, their hands very small and their stomachs huse. They had a habit of leaping about in the high herbage "like grasshoppers " and one of them, purchased by the explorer, was to such an extent subject to this inclination that he muM never learn to carry a plate without spilling more or less of the contents.' Measurements made by Stanley showed that four feet six inches was about tho maximum height of the dwarfs, some cf whom Were not more than three feet in stature. A full- j grown man might weigh as much as 90 pounds. Scattered over a region about two-th.rds the size of Scotland, they live in the uncleared forest, and maintain themselves by hunting. They are called Akka, or Batwa. They are fierce little folk, though they have no weapons save bows and spears, their warlike disposition and poisoned arrows make them greatly dreaded as enemies. One of these arrows will kill an elephant with as much certainty as a bone smashing rifle bullet, and a mere prick will bring death to a man in a few min utes. Tlie pigmy warrior always car ries in a small leather bottle hang to his belt a supply of the poison, which is said to be obtaine d by macer ating the bodies of ants of a certain venomous species. The first pigmy seen by Stanley in Africa was a young woman, only 33 Inches tall, yet "perfectly formed, and of a glistening sleekness of body." She appeared to be about seventeen years old, and her complexion was that of a quadroon or the color of yellow ivory. Her eyes were magnificent, but "absurdly large for so small a creature almost as big as those of a gazelle, and extremely lustrous." Though absolutely nude, she was en tirety self-possessed. The little people wherever they now exist in the world, are passing away, and before very long the last of them will have disappeared. There are only a few thousand of them left in Afri ca. A few thousands more are still to be found in the Philippines and elsewhere. In the forests of the mountainous interior of India some tribes of them are said to linger, their small size and primitive mode of life obtaining for them the name of "monkey men." Their final depart ure is Inevitable. A pity, too, It seems for, although the pigmies can not be regarded as Important contrib utors to the welfare and progress of mankind, they furnish a most Inter esting and picturesque memorial of the ancient past of the human race.

Magazine editors would probably deny that they concentrate more thought and energy on one number than another, yet the fact remains that the autumn Issues often seem stronger than those which have Im mediately preceded them Perhaps the editors do this unconsciously Just as folk In other walks of life take up their burdens with renewed zest after the relaxation of the summer season.

DEPOSITORY Lippincott's Magazine Is one of those which open the fail campaign with especially meritorious October num bers. The complete novel long a feature of this publication is "The Killers of Petersham," a stirrine tnle f the s uth and its "nightrlders," by Rupert Sargent Holland, author of "The Man in the Tower." Though full of action and dramatic scenes, there Is a delightful love Interest running through the story. We predict that -it will prove one of the most popular ; novelettes T.f nnlneott'a lias ever ! brought out. A very striking feature is "Thirty Years of Pencraft: What It Came to and What It Cost." This paper, to be published in two parts, in October and November, embodies the literary reminiscences of the distinguished soldier-author. General Charles King. The general talks frankly of his suc cesses nnd of his failures, and the re sult is not only interesting reading, but may prove a valuable object les son to literary aspirants. Other ar ticles, brief and pithy, are "The Fetich of the Girl " by Herman Scheffauer; "The Clubboy," by Ralph W. Bergen gren; and "The Hifalutln' Hyphen," by John E. Rosser.
