IlnHldns for Health, GREATER THAN T APERS tlirouehout the JT the house of representatives at Salem for passing the Pierce "Rogue river fish bill, nullifying the law recently enacted by an overwhelming majority ot tne people. These legislator were elected at the same time the people passed the law. Few of them received as many votes in their own district as this measure received. There fore to assume that they know better what the people de sire than the people themselves is the height ot arrogance and presumption. Legislator are merely the representatives of the people to carry out the people's desires. When they deliberately assume to override the expressed will ot tne people tnev make a farce of popular government. A few more such actions and the people will become convinced that the legislature and either abolish it or enact a constitutional provision forbidding legislative tampering with laws passed by the people. THE EXPERIMENT STATION. TllH only appropriation before the legislature an agricultural experiment valley. Jn view of the great importance to the state of horticul ture in this section, the establishment of the station is a necessity. Many problems are constantly arising for solu- 'ion and the need ol sucli an institution is consianiiy ictt. The station will be jointly maintained by the federal government and the state, under direction of experts. It will become a part of the state agricultural college at Cor vallis, and its labors benefit the entire country. .Representatives of Jackson county at the legislature are doing their best to secure the passage of the bill, which was delayed through the death of Representative Bggles ton, and' the entire valley wishes them success in their efforts. A COMMENDABLE VETO. GOVERNOR AVKST has very properly vetoed the bill abolishing the whipping post for wife-beaters. While the punishment may be cruel and barbarous, so is the crime. Since the passage of this act, there have been but few instances where wife-beaters have suffered the penalty provided, and the crime of wife-beating litis grown far less common, thus proving that the punishment that can be in voked acts as a deterrent upon brutes. Prior to the enactment of the law there were several hnhit.iinl offenders, one in narticuhtr. in Aledford. whose amusement it was to knock down and thresh hard-working help-mates, but the practice ceased wuen an adequate pen alty was provided and husbands no longer, even when drunk, forget the shadow of the whipping post. IMPORTANT TO ORCHARDISTS. NO ORCI1ARD1ST can afford to miss the articles on lime-sulphur spray by Professor O'Gara, which be gin in today's issue of the '.Mail Tribune. There will be eight or more installments. (From the Portland Telegram) The character of the bill passed by the Initiative method had nothing whatever to do with a bill which tho leglslatuie (Cod save the mark) has the nerve to abrogate. In the case at Issue It Involves the hind of fish ing that will be allowed in Rogue river. Whether that bill Ik right or wrong, whether It Is good or bad, Is a matter of no more and no lest concern to the members of the leg Islntute than It Is to any other ell Izou or body of clt lions. In eer case It Is the principle that Is at staKo. That principle lnote th right of the people to say what the want and to say It with supicuu effect thnt no legislate o power wll piesttme to Interfere or Intervene. When It conies to a quest Ion ot bud or Inept laws we may safely dial long the work of any legislature that meets for cotuparlRon with the law that have been passed by the liiltla the Hut nil of this Is neither lien nor there. The people under tin Initiative hhiiiiik the tight to pas certain laws. Tudor conditions Uiri have pievlously existed the) hud del egsted that right to members of tin WUIutiiro whom they elected and empowered. The fact that these. ver legislators were created by the peo ple aud that the powers which the) officially exercised were powers, not Inheient In thorn, but delegated from the source of all power should settle the question of whether the people Iihnh the right to Initiate a law mid the sole power to repeal It aud that the logUltture has absolutely no pow er to lulenene. This Is a govern nteut of the people. All power which It poneses Is potter delegated by the people to their trustees tu one ca po city or suother. These powers are Imply trustee powers, although too many tusu lcld to office spwdlly goi luto their heads the mistaken Idea that the office belongs to them and that they are superior to the people who put them there. That the people caunot mod If legislative uiethwU when they origlually cre ated thetu Is preposterous on the face of tt; that they rguaot exercise taut power In Its euprenieet expraailoa without let or hindrance fiom the A Hysterical House THEIR MAKERS. state have generally censured docs more harm than good bill that southern Oregon has is the small one providing for station in the Rogue River huhscrihc now. leglslatuie Is Inconceivable when the matter Is squarely faced. The house should speedily its It may take the back track In this mat ter which It has enteied so blithely. It Is not blggor than the wbolo peo ple and the whole people do not need It as a guardian. When t hoy want laws they will pass them and they will remain In force until they repeat hem. The present attitude of the mine Is ridiculous beyond expres ion. The three tailors of Tooley tieoi who petitioned as "We, the eople of lCngland," wero no more o Tho members of the houso should ome down from off their pot eh for hey are getting giddy. They should anil as firmly as they may on Mother Oarth aud start in this matter along ines that Hie deold of hstcrln anil ua'rked by logic and sanlt).

One of our most highly respected members has been called to cross tho "great divide," beyond whose purple heights stretch the boundless realms of eternity. He has passed to "that bourno from which no travoler returns;" ho comes not again to advise tti In our coun cils. His chair Is vacant In our midst; we miss him from IiIb accustomed place.

Millard Fillmore Hgglostoii. Uorn January 10, 1855, in Ver million township, Vermillion county, Indiana. At the age of 19 ho won an appointment at largo from the state or Indiana to tho United States military academy at West Point, and graduated from that Institution in 1ST". Ho was commissioned second llteutenant In the Tenth cavalry at giaduatlon, seeing service In New Mexico, Texas, Arlzonn, Kansas and tho Indian territory. For some time ho served In tho Texas department on the Mexican border against tho Indians on the "Staked Plains" in Arizona and New Mexico. He xvns on duty In the Indian department in Indian territory for a short timo and for a period of two years ncted as engineer officer In tho military dis trict of western Tcxns under the com mand of General Grlcrson, nnd later was assistant engineer In tho depart ment of Texns under Colonel II. W. I.arlmoto. Ho served on Bpeclal duty at times, and for five years was ad jutant and commissary.

He surveyed and es tablished tho first long distance he liograph line In' Arizona. Ho resigned from the service In 18S9, and In 1890 ho went to Ash land, where ho haB ever since made his home, engaging In professional work along Journalistic lines for a number of years, also serving as city recorder of Ashland for five years. A Dangerous Precedent (Fiom tho Portland Journal.) Tho public will contemplate xvith soma concern a precedent sot by the house at Snlem In the recont voto on tho Rogue river fish bill. The precedent Is the proposed repeal by the legislature of a law that has Just been adopted by a voto of the people. It is a precedent thnt raises sorlous question ns to the wisdom of the nctlon of tho houso In nctunlly passing a bill repealing the Rogue river fish law. In tho election last November the Rogue river fish bill was on tho bal lot and leeched n majority of 1C 1115 or the votes cast. It particular ly Interested tho countlos of Jackson, Curry nnd Josephine, and they cast i innjorlty for it or more than 2300. The law closed tho Roguo river to tulmou fishing. In passing a bill to repoal thlfc people's-tnade law, the houso lint raised a grave issue. With this as a precedent, are thero going to be othor case In which tho legUlature, moot ing within two months after election, will repeal laws that the people havo just passed? Havo leglslatots as moro agents the right in any and all cases to undo that which the people have done? Are any nnd all. acts by the people In whom soerelgn power rcbidos liable to bo turned down b legislator who aro mere represents, lives? WANTS GOVERNMENT TO HELP THEM EXHIBIT IIONOI.l l.l'. Feb. 11.

Mr and Mr. Woolvrrtfii tn.- t. m e in Miili"d not n-k. He was married to Mrs. Augusta Palmer In Ashland, on February 13, 1907. He Is survived by his xvlfc and a step daughter, Miss Ruby Palmer, a young lady of IS years, and one sister, ?drs. Josephine D. Crocker of Ashland. While In the service of tho gov ernment he was promoted to tho rank of captain, and ho has always main tained his Interest In military af fairs and all matters connected with or pertaining to the service. I re member that It was only a short time ago that he stood by that desk, now draped with . the Stars and Stripes, and made an earnest appeal to the members ot this house in behalf of his bill for the purchase of a burial plot In Portland for tho soldiers of the Spanish-American war. And, be Jt said to the credit of tho represen tatives here assembled, that you heed ed his appeal, and passed his bill. I was but slightly acquainted with Captain Eggleston before coming to this session of the legislature, but be coming better acquainted with him, I had learned to love him for his ninny sterling qualities. Ho was one of God's noblemen. I had many heart to heart tnlks with him. Ho was hon est nnd conscientious In all that he did, aud 1 believe that ho could claim as his friend every member of this house. Ho was broad-minded and liberal in his views, conceding to ev ery other man the right to differ from his opinions, but standing like a rock for Chat believed to bo right. As a member of this houso ho was progressive, yet conservative, clear In his conception of tho right princi ple and the right measure, and stand ing for the principles ho represented, without fear and without favor from anyone. Honest and faithful to bis trust, standing for tho right, as God gave him to see tho right, never swerving, never faltering, but doing his duty nobly, conscientiously and well, he rnnked ns ono of tho best members on this floor. Such it man, In my opinion, Mr. Speaker, Is an Ideal representative., of the people. Such a man tho people can 111 nfford to lo"o. Such a man Is an honor to tho district ho repre sents, an honor to the body of which he Is a member. Such a member, sir. this house has lost. Such a man has joined the "Innumerable caravan" tho "great silent majority," there to receive tho merited encomium "well done." Regardless of any merits or de merits of tho Roguo river fish law, thero Is grave doubt ns to tho advis ability of Its repeal by tho legisla ture. The law does not seem to rise to tho proportions of nn extraordin ary case in which tho legislative body can find warrant to Intervene. Even ir It be admitted thnt tho legislature would bo justlflod in Interfering In a momentous Instance In which great and Irrepnrablo harm was about to be done by an initiative law, the case at Rogue river In no wise rises to an Importance warranting such a prece dent. Nor is it authentically established that the closing of Roguo river Is wholly 111 advised. A majority of 2300 In the three counties Interested and In which the situation is best un derstood Is some evidence favorable to the law. Tho btrong protest rais ed by friends of tho measure over the action of tho houso is further evi dence. it all prosonts a grave Issuo be fore tho senate when tho house re peal bill shall appear In that body for action. If the right of tho legisla ture to immediately repeal a people's made law Is assorted In this case, in how many other trivial cases will It be similarly asserted, and of what nlue hereafter will the initiative bo?
