Lathrop, In Oregon Journal.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 17. Tho demand for tho forward march In political affairs tho lnsurgont sentiment is as strong in tho east as It Is in tho middle west and on tho Pacific coast. Personal observa tion in New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massa chusetts and New Jorsoy during tho past weeks warrants recording tho foregoing. Nothing llko tho present movement has been witnessed In tho east slnco tho days when tho Issues of tho civil war moved tho hearts of mon Every stato named contains a vast majority of citizens who want clean government. It Is In tho air, on tho tonguo of nearly every person In city, in country. They appear to hopo that tho tlmo has como when, they are going to get tno aesirou good government, but tho remarka-1 ble featuro of tho political situation In the east is that tho neonlo horo , .... look westward for deliverance, ex- J pect tho west to point tho way, and actually project thoir vision across tho continent to far away Oregon. Look Toward Oregon. Now York state has enough peoplo to supply population to SO Oregons; yet up thero man In tho street, tho storo and tho office ask Oregon folk and devour the answer: "Tell mo about your new election laws and tho Initiative and referen dum." Massachusetts, seat of culture, evolver of leaders in tho anti-slavery and fines arts, under tho director ship of WiUiini Erhart Snyder, will bo opened in a few days in Memorial aro great big truths writ largo In i hall. This now institution Is being 'every community. And qulto as Im greeted with enthusiasm by Ashland portant, they go hand in hand with musicians.

RnitKonlinvrr nn1 .Trmnfhnn Aimlna fVm vnw choicest standard commercial varieties. They are eight years of age and have a are large for their age, are uniform in size and exceptionally thrifty. The soil is the very best. Drainage is perfect. Altitude about sixteen hundred feet. Distance from shipping station about a mile and a half. Price and tenns: $1000 per acre, half cash, balance in three equal annual payments, with interest at six per cent. A five-acre tract of this bearing orchard will cost the purchaser $2500 in cash, $833.13 in 1911, $833.13 in 1912 and $833.13 in 1913. After the first payment is made the crop should a great deal more than pay the balance. This is an exceptional opportunity to become the owner of what is unquestionably one of tho finest young or-, chards in the northwest. The trees are the right varieties, they are in perfect condition, and. there is a surety of a to buy is now. Let us show YORK war of tho sixties, turnn toward Oro gon, and hor people demand of an Orogonlan visitor there: "Is It truo that your now laws havo brought it to pass that for eight years your legislature Ima had no scandnls, that it has pursued tho will of tho peaplo?" Ilhodo Island, long cnrrlod In tho vest pocket of tho blind bosB, Bray ton, doputy for Aldrlch, ono of tho worst rotten borough states, la study-1 Ing tho Orogon plan nnd wants to adopt it. I In Now Jorsoy, Connecticut nnd Pennsylvania it Is tho same. It was amazing beyond expression to pass from town to town and city to city nnd seo proof that tho commonwealth of Oregon has blnzonod tho way for ' political reform In tho older eastern, states, rind to witness tho dally, hour-' ly production of proof that thoso old er states aro finally conceding that tho Oregon plan Is at this day tho flower of progressive development.

In somo localities, wtyoro political machines nro especially powerful. It wn8 P"irui to noto tno intonso deslro I for relief along tho Oregon linos, and withal tho sometimes plnlntivo query: "How shall wo placo In operation laws llko thoso which you say havo ' freed Orogo.i from tho domination of 'tho special interests?" mo special interost Zinvo nrstran- i . nnd in ovory stato In which I hnvo bcon thcso wca th0 special intor- osta against direct primaries, I k .. against popular olectlou of senators, . o sianupnuere, lor mo siaius quo. For instance, tho aupromo court Judgeships In ono of tho Btntes I named aro given away from tho con- ' tral offices of a powerful Interest In 'another stato n Now York cty. This ! spocial Interest Is against direct pri maries nnd any part of tho Oregon plan. This special interest knows full woll that under tho Oregon plan tho supremo court Judgeships of that stato will bo given away by tho vot ers of that state. Truths Apparent.

"FOR A SQUARE DEAL" look with ndmlrntton upon tho Oro gon votors as men of Independence, not longor fooled by political party embloms, but demanding good rosults to all tho people rather than empty victory for a party organlzntzlon. Tho ono contral Idon, gleaned from sovorni weeks' observation In tho eastern states, Is that tho political seismographs In tho east havo corded un enrthquako, Indications thnt It began about 3000 miles away, movomont eastward and southeaster- when tho Initiative and referendum amendment was adopted followed by tho other features of tho Orogon plnn has swopt ovor tho continent until for sale in five and ten-acre tracts on terms are well set witr fruit spurs for &' COMPANV I A chance to clean up $2000 PROFIT IN 60 DAYS Whiteside only tho Atlantic oconn limit Its for ward movement, Knst 1Vo1h Confident.
