Of the measures to be voted on No vember 4 the most important and farreachiug from Vpbokl the a public stand- Workmen's point is the Compensation Kill, workmen's com pensation bill. It ts a bill deserving earnest considera tion at the hands of every voter. In substance the compensation bill provides industrial accident insurance vnder the control of the state. The expense Is borne jointly by the state, the workman and the employer. The urkman pays one half of one pel cent of his wage as his prorata, the employer pays six times as much as the worker and the state provide a sum equal to one seventh the com bined amount paid by the employer and employe. Thus It will be seen that the employer virtually bears the expense. The share paid by the em ploye la slight A man receiving $100 per month would have to pay BO cenn per month for his Insurance. The law Is Intended to apply chiefly to occupations such as mill and con struction work where there is consld erable hazard on account of machin ery. It U optional whether either an employer or an employe takes advan tage of the law. Those who do not take advantage of the law simply do not get the benefits provided. Vnder the terms of tbe bill If a workman is killed his widow gets 130 per month for life or until she re marries. If he has children she re telves an additional IS for each child with the provision no widow shall re ceive more than 150 per month. The act also provides a full schedule of benefits for other Injuries of varied character and provide compensation for those dependent upon the worker in the event he Is not a married man The chief point of advantage about the bill Is that it provides automatic compensation in the event a worker Is Injured or killed. The unfortunate man or hi widow is not forced Into a lawsuit and forced to divide the damages with a lawyer. Another Kood point about the plan Is that In dustrial Insurance is provided at cost prices and there U such a system of exemptions that the premiums paid In time become adjusted according to the element of danger In the various Industries. The compensation law is fairly and carefully drawn and Is one of the most progressive and beneficial laws ever nrr,n..l in Orreon. It was enacteJ 1" " by the last leglolature with the sup port of many substantial and broad minded employers as well as by work legmen. In appearance the law Is workingman's measure but It is also an employer's measure because the employer as well as the worker Is the litim of the damage ult lawyer and the liability insurance company. What forces brought about tin holding up of the compensation la under the referendum has never been disclosed. There is every reason for teUeYlnf that the move was the work of liability insurance nun or ambu lance chasing attorneys "who do n.'l wish to be deprived of their present fat opportunities for profit. There i no sound reason why any employer cr ar.y worker should oppose the bill since the bill is not compulsory in it.! provisions nnd no one need take ad vantage of the law if he does not v la'i to Jo n. If the compensation measure is vot ed down the people of Oregon will reject a measure that is sensible and jut and Is for the protection of in jured workers nnd for the wives nnd families of men who become Injured 01 killed. If the law i rejected the beneficiaries by such action will be the private liability insurance com-1 panics and lawyers who take damage sells on such a basis they get the ap ple" and give the injured workman or his widow the peeling and the core Vote 308 Yes on the workman's compensation bill. It Is a fair and sensible bill and stands for humanity. The La Grande Dally .Messenger Is the name of a morning paper that has been established la The lid ; ramie La Grande, the first Messenger. Issue having ap peared Tuesday. In Its first Issue the Messenger has all the earmarks of a first clas, success ful small city dally. In mechanical appearance the paper Is one of the best In Eastern Oregon. It la full of local news, has a good telegraphic re port and a satisfactory advertising patronage. In politics the Messenger announces it will be Independent, as a newspaper should be, and that the paper will be liberal In its views Is In. dicated by the statement it will sup' port the Wilson administration in so far as it may be consistent to do so. The new La Grande paper Is pub lished by C. N. Palmer, R. C. Wood and A. L Lindbeck, all practical and successful newspaper men who until recently have been located at Med ford. Oklahoma. There is a growing Interest In the matter of public ownership of utilities From apparently PubUo Ownership accurate sources Is Logical. comes the hint the administration U planning a move to nationalize the in terstate telegraph and telephone bus iness and In Portland a move Is under way looking to a municipal telephone system. There is also Increased, In terest here and there in the subject of municipal electric plant, this inter est being aroused largely by the sue cess of cities that now own theli power and lighting plants. The gospel of public ownership of utilities la sound and it Is business like. A public utility should exist for the benefit of the public. Naturally the best resulta for the public may be secured through governmental owner ship and operation. At its very best private ownership of utilities can only approach and cannot hope to equal government ownership and the worst of the situation Is we never have prl vate ownership at its best. Whenever it comes about that our utility cor porations are required to truly serve the people as they should at the prices they should charge the corporation themselves will then be perfectly wil ling to submit to public ownership. The revenues of the city water sys tern show a decided gain and the fact is testimony to the growth of Pen dleton. When that mountain water system is installled the revenue should be still further enlarged because far mere and others wishing to retire and w-rshlng to live in a town where. good water U to be had will come here to live In greater and greater numbers More and more it becomes appar ent that Mexico's domestic troubles di not arise in Mexico but in the private offices of foreign concession holders.

OVKUWOKKIXG A WOUD. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) It's an overworked word, that poor little monosyllable "run." 'I found a run started in my best stockings this morning," said the woman, "so I thought I'd run down town and go Into 'a. where they are having a great run on silk hose They ran an advertisement in this morning's paper, you know. Well, I ran my eye over the bargains on the way down and I saw so many things before I got to the hose counter. We.. 1 needed that I ran out of money I'd run my legs off by that time, but I don't run a bill at 'a, so I was In despair until who should I run In to but my husband. I got some mon ey from him he's more generous than the general run of men but when I got to the counter they'd run out of my size. Wasn't that a ter rible run of luck?"

L'p the road a few miles further the train again stopped, and once more explanation was given that a cow was on the track. Two miles, perhaps, of continuous going, and then came an other stop. This time a passenger glanced wearily toward the end of the car. "Mr. Conductor," he called out in yawnful accents, "could I speak to you a moment?" "Certainly," answered the conduc tor, moving down the aisle, "what i It?" 'Do you really mean to say," re turned the passenger In a voice than xuh almont a sigh, "that we have caught up to that cow again?" I'hli ud Ij'hlu Teli grai n. John r. Johnson, counsel for the Pierce Corporation, long has been a lover of dogs, but an experience he had at Baltic Lake, Minn , caused him to favor a reform school for some canines. Johnson was duck shooting with Bronson Strain on opposite sides of a small slough. He was without a dog. Strain had a spaniel named Pompy. The ducks came Johnson's way and while Strain hardly fired a shot John son quickly knocked down 25, which he tossed upon tho bank behind him. He failed to notice Pomy, however, who was making numerous visits to his side of the slough. After the shoot, Johnson was sur prised to find that his pile of ducks had dwindled to 6 Strain, who short ly appeared on the scene, carried 20. Where the thunder did you get those ducks?" exclaimed Johnson. "Yuu hardly fired a shot." "I don't know," replied Strain, smiling. Then Johnson saw a light. "I see," he remarked, thoughtfully. "This t!me It is a cass of 'You don't know and I don't know, but the dog he does know." "Pompy is the best retriever I ever saw." said Strain. "He's a canine Raffles." answered Johnson. "Next time I'll tie down my ducks." The Individual who takes his wife and family to the Hotel des Roches Nolres for, say a month in the high season, and does them really well that is, gives them the best whTch the house has to offer when he comes away if he has paid his bill has left a small fortune behind him. The idea that an Englishman, be cause he is being charged a high price, is being cheated Is absrud. Nowadays whatever It used to be ence on a time an rTngli-hman in a really smart hotel in France Is looked at askance. French people on pleas ure bent are much more extravagant than we are. They do not seem to care what they spend. I remember dining once at Trouville, when a basket of nectarines was offered by the head waiter. They were quite nice nectarines, but that head waiter wanted twenty-five francs apiece. Five dollars for two or three mouthfuls seemed to me too much but those nectarines all went! There was scarcely a Frenchman In the room who did not treat himself to one. At the next table to mine was a man, with his wife and his daughter they bad three apiece; $45 for dessert as a wlndup to an extremely expenslv dinner! Modern Dentists Dr. Tlios. C. Olininrt, Manage.

A well known lecturer, who has traveled all over the world, covering 4000,000 miles In order to gather facts about the awakening or woman, said recently in New York: "Woman Is waking everywhere The militant suffragettes are doing much to help the wakening tn England. They who blame the militants are as unreasonable as Landor. "The poet Landor. as you knoW, had a violent temper. He raged especially when his meals went wrong. "His luncheon went very wrong one day in Florence, and Landor threw his chef out of the dining room window into the garden. "But the man's body had no soon er vanised than Landor rushed to the open Window after it, thrust forth his head and cried in heartrendering accents: " 'Good heavens! i forgot my poor violets!'
