I lie man went on ins way, it noi rejoicing, at .cooii lenmv least without visible evidence of regret. He had no fear of punish ment because the homes he had destroyed were not jet built; they were still in the tree trunks awaiting the magic wand of industry to give them habitable form. But economically these homes were destroyed as surely as though the trees had been made into lum ber and the lumber into structures. And this is the way it hap pened : It was the vacation season and an automobile carrying a party of tourists stopped on a road that wound through a mag nificent stand of Douglas fir, in western Washington. The travel ers sat in rapturous admiration of the quiet forest scene and rhapsodized over the great trees that columned their majestic irsoiuiion io carry tiu-m out. beauty as far as the eye could see. One of the men of the party lit a contemplative cigarette and tossed the match to the side of the road, and the auto passed on llnwily, NrlKhlxirN The clumip optiuiUt Ik Ihe man who govi to haii(uet beratiM he is hungry. iont.c;i:.

And amid the confusion and crash of falling timber the ranger and his foremen generated the battle. Several days later a wide, barren scar lay upon the moun tainside, still smouldering in places where the black splinters of the charred stumps pointed like accusing fingers, and still sent out masses of yellowish white smoke. The scar covered hundreds of acres and it would continue to smoulder and smoke for weeks, while all about in the adjacent woods were fire guards constantly vigilant to sic that the enemy did not creep out and strike again. And far away the automobile tourists journeyed care-free and utterly unconcerned. At a sawmill they stopped for a few minutes to watch the logs in slow procession from the pond to the band saws. "What a shame," exclaimed the man with the cigar ette, in a burst of sentimental revolt, "what a shame to cut down these beautiful trees!" lint A multitude of people are loose on the highway operating tars and trucks who are not familiar with some fundamental principles that should govern automobile driving. A lot of these folks have driven cars for years, and their methods are a menace to the public. The Cleveland safety council, connected with the chamber of commerce of that city, has rendered a great public service by offering the public a course of lectures on automobile driving and maintenance. This course last year was taken by I'lOO people. This year a special section has been arranged for women drivers, in view of the great desire manifested by them for such instruction. As a result of this instruction many big business concerns have testified that their employes were driving truc!;M and cars with increased skill and many big concerns re ported that their employes had had no accidents. Such courses are given in many other cities, and it might well be wished that drivers who have acquired wrong operating habits could have the advantage of them.

Tho direct primary law has utterly destroyed the democratic party in Oregon and will destroy any minor ity party In any Flute where such a law is In force. .Ah ng with tho de struction of the democratic party has gone the demoralization and dis integration of the republican party and a similar fate awaits every ma jority party in direct prlmury states. As a mutter of fatt, all that Is left of either party In Oregon, as far as etule organization is concerned, is the name. Of party, responsibility, party discipline, party solidarity, there is none. Personal government has replaced pany government. Tho majority, with its personal and factional fights, draws the In terest of the voters, particularly the young voters, who register to aid thei ri-ndldacy of friends and acquain-l tances. The primary supplants the election In public Interest and the majority party steaillly swells its membership as tho minority party dwindles with the result that party lines come to mean nothing, there is hut one party and that only a party In name. Neither the direct primary, nor other popular legislation, was con templated by the trainers of either federal or state constitution In the admirable system of checks and bal ances devised in those instruments for representative or delegated In stead of popular government. Tho latter necessitates a higher type of citizenship and a higher average lev el of education that exists. It is be coming apparent that until the mass of people takes more Interest In gov ernment, and better education pre vails, direct primaries will not ac complish the ends sought. What the remedy is. we do not pretend to say, probably some com promise between representative and popular government embodying fea tures of each, hut some reform to re store responsibility in government, seems imperative.
