What are reasonable people to think ' of the Judgment or candor of those who assert that men have no right to meet in convention or assembly, be fore the primary, to express opinion or preference as to persons to be submit ted for consideration for primary nomi nations? Nothing so fatuous ever has been asserted since the right of free discussion was recognized among men. Oregoniao. Certainly people have the right both legal and moral to assemble and to express their opinions, individ ually and collectively, and they have , the legal right to denounce all who do not agree with them; but when -i they assemble In the name of a party ' and denounce all who do not agree with them as to the advisubflitv of nominating certain aspirants for et flce then, though they are still with in their legal rights, they have ex ceeded their moral and ixrtitlcal : rights. A great many who claim to be re publicans object to the proposed as sembly because they believe: First That its most earnest ad vocate, including such men as Stneca Reach and Ralph Williams, are op posed to the primary law and desire its nuliiScation and repeal. Second. That all known opinents of the primary law favor the assem bly; though, it is true, on the plea of securing party unity, they have ob tained the co-operation of a number who believe In the primary law and can not see that it is endangered by the assembly plan. ( 11 uie assembly candidates are nominated and elected the primary law win be (lead, ana the people will not attend primary elections, for they will have been shown the . strength of the assembly manipulat ors and will come to the conclusion that there is no use of opposing them. We mill thm have reverted to the condition of political slavery that xisted in Oregon for eo many years when decent citizens refused to at nd the primaries and the election of delegates to state and county conven "' tlons was merely a struggle between two men seeking to control the party organization. Jt is thought by many that the mas ter brain behind this assembly plan is that of Joseph Simon, mayor of Portland. As far baek as the writer's remembrance of Oregon's political history extends .Mr. Simon has been a leader of one faction of the party, and his methods have been as unscru pulous as those of the men with whom he struggled for party control. In the first Fennoyer campaign, when Cor nelius was the Republican nominee for Governor; Waldo the Republican nominee for Supreme .Judge, and Slrahan. the Democratic nominee for that office, Simon was the chair man of the Republican Central Com mittee and Uarney Goldsmith chair man of the Democratic State Centra! Committee. Simon caused bogus Republican tickets to be printed, and ' by this and otlur means, easy be fore the Australian ballot was adopt ed, defeated Waldo, and at the same Section Cornelius (the Republican i was defeated by Fennoyer. With honest Australian ballots and an hon-et-t chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, this result would hare been impossible. It wa-s Fen noyer'B success that brought Cham berlain Into prominence, so that Jo seph Simon was one of the factors In creating a political carefcr for "Our George." Nearly everybody, includ ing the editor of the Oregonian, re members the Simon l.otan primaries. wnere, according to that-paper, men were bought like sheep, and Demo crats participated in those Republi can primaries in fur greater propor tionate number than tbev have un der the direct primary law. Some- f times it waa Simou and sometimes I Mitchell but, whoever won. the i methods were alwavs the fame bri Iiery, frmid anil violence. Then came ' 4he election of .Mr. Simon to the -i.nited Slates Senate a position It veuiu nave oecu ini,otime tor cim , ... . , , . , , to secure by popular vote. We would.'1"'"-' nas liaH,n"3 tne development of like to have the honest opinion of the our resources or the settlement of the Orcsonian as U) how that prize was se-' Xorthwest.

No wonder, for by It he had been able to sidetrack hl bouefactor and seat hlmsoit in me Cnlted States Benate. Mr. Simon Is In control ui rori laud. He and his allies will name tne 350 Multnomah County delegates to the state assembly, and the assembly will name for Governor 01 ureon either Joseph Simon or one or Ms lieutenants.

BURDENING THE MAILS. While the government Is blaming the magazines and newspapers for the postal deficiency the department at Washington seem to be doing their utmost to Increase it by burdening the malls with an Immense amount of waste basket material. Every depart merit seems to have a free bureau and hired booster whose business is to create public sentiment in favor ot its especial fad. The country newspapers are unfortunate enough to be the ob jects of special attention from these faddists and dally receive numbers of envelopes containing matter which "released for Dublication" after a cer tain date. The craze for publicity must certainly have reached the extreme. if the authorities at Washington know mvthlne of special Interest to the people of Columbia county we would be tickled to get the Information, but we really haven't time nor space to present to our readers the coutents of the numerous official documents being sent daily through the mails. If there is anvbody in Columbia county silly enough to bite at the "Spanish Swindle" and send their good money to Alfonso's country in the hope of be ing made administrator of an estate and possibly owner of a "castle In Spain." we are perfectly willing to have them separated from their coin It is said that charity should begin at home, and the same is true of reforms. It will help some if the departments will quit sending out their special pleas and If the franking privilege were so curtailed as to cut out Its abuses and restrict its use to actual official business the deflclt would be materially decreased. The Pomoua Grange of Lane county, Oregon, is strongly In favor of good roads, more especially since the mem bers have been compiled to travel over all almost impassable highways this winter in going to and from their places of meeting. They have appealed to the legislative committee of the Oregon state grange to prepare a bill and have it presented to the next ses sion of the legislature urging its pass age permitting road districts to bond themselves for a sufficient amount to make such permanent improvement as the majority of resident landowners of such districts or combination of dis tricts may deem necessary or expedi ent The building and maintaining of ?ood roads is the most pressing ques tion now before the farmers and the proper solution of the question will do more to develop the national resources of the country than any other one thing. The "third degree" of modern times is simply, the old custom of criminal courts of "putting to the torture." The same instruments are not used, but science has provided more cruelties. The law officials are just as fiendish and Just as stupid as ever were those who stretched honest men on the racks before solemn Judges, who asked ques tions and exacted cenfesslons of im possible crimes from the pain-maddened wretches. The "third degree" Is defended by the same arguments and the same kind of men as defended the use of the thumbscrew, the rack, the hot irons and all the hideous and awful machinery that went in olden times to make up the weapons of Justice. And I the Justice dealt out was about the sara'i In too many cases, too. Plnchot may be a desperate scoun di el. but, what's his motive? To us he seems to stand for a correct principle. ieven if he be an extremist.

OCR PORTLAND LETTER PORTLAND, March I. (Special.) Oregon is to get wide publicity throughout the East during the com ing year if the plan of Louis V. Hill, president of the Great Northern Rail way, works out. Mr. Hill proposes to gather exhibits ot what Oregon'ralses and place them in an exhibit car which will be sent East and routed through the sections of the country where It will do the moat good. That these ex hibits will accomplish greet deal, ac companied as they will be by a lec turer. Is cortalu ud that many thou,- ands ot settlers will be brought to this state as a direct result Is believed. , An actual demonstration ot what this state can produce in fruits, grains, grasses, vegetables, etc., will unques tionably prove convincing to the East erner. At tract le literature will ac company the exhibit car, telling of. op portunities here for the bonieseeket and the lecturer will answer questions about this state. President Hill asks support for his plan from Oregon peo ple In the gathering or exhibits with which to equip the car. His coniany now has representatives In this state collecting information to be used in the advertising campaign to be waged by Mr. HIIL Portland la to have an aviation meet March S. 8 and T, Business men have organized a three days' exhibition of flying machines and D. O. Lively has been made manager of the event Charles K Hamilton, celebrated avia tor who made flights at the Los An geles meet and captured many prizes will be the star of the coming con teats and will try to set new world's records for altitude, high and low speed llighta. Four local aeroplanes will be entered in the contests, while Mr. Hamilton will bring Curtis, Wright and Pariuan biplanes, which he will fly. Big prizes are offered for successful flights and with favorable weather conditions, it Is expected some new world's records may be made. The meet will be held on the Country Club grounds east of the city. Special rates have been made on the O. R. & X Southern Pacific and Hill lines from outside points to Portland and return during the progress of the meet, and a large attendance is expected. A remarkable sale of Oregon fmlt lands was that made during the past week wheu the Iturrell orchard of tit'j acres, near Medfurd lu the Rogue River Valley, passed to new o iters for the record-breaking figure of 500,0H). Captain Gordon Voorliies. of Portland, sold the property to C. M. Speck and associates, of Spokane. The orchard has a splendid record, returning a for tune each year from Ita large acreaee of apples and pears. It Is said. a por tion of the orchard may be subdivided and sold In small tracts by the new owners. Since the Portland I'lilon Stockyards opened for business last September. 21S9 cars of livestock have been handled there, representing an ap proximate valuation of $4,000,01)0, ac cording to Manager D. O. Lively. The market thus established lias been of great value to the city and to livestock growers throughout the Pacific North west for comietltion for their products has resulted In better prices and quicker sales than formerly. Hogs this week have been hovering around the $10 mark and mutton bas been very high as well. GANOERBONE'S FORECAST FOR MARCH. (Copyrighted 1910 by C. H. Rleih.) 0. have you heard about the hog Since It Is worth its weight In gold? They keep a heater In Its pen And give It quinine for a cold. You wouldn't know the lucky brute Since pork .went up to thirty cents. They pet It so and keep it In Such unheard-of magnificence. I he farmer always taxies the food To see if It will make him ill. And rich and appetising soups Are given it Instead of gwlll. The best and most exjienslve foods Are set before it without stint. And indigestion Is forestalled By capping them with creme de mint. You wouldn't know it for a stye, The hog Is quartered in today, It has a ventilating tan, A roof, a skylight and a spray; And how It sleeps, eats, drinks and reels. And how to safeguard it from harm, Is all they think and talk about These piping days upon the farm. The farmers lie awake o' nights, Devising prophylactic troughs, The doctors fly from farm to farm Examining hiccups and coughs: And nowadays when farmers meet Each other out uiion a Jog Their first and most solicitous Inquiry is, "How is your hog?" March was the favorite month of the old Romans and the beginning of their year. It was named for Mars, their god of war, and continued to rank the other month.4 until 44 B. C., when the peace party in the Senate allied with the insurgents and reduced it to third place on the calendar. Brutus and some of the others thought the empire ought to make less of war and more of busi ness, so they made January, named for the Two-Faced Janus, the beginning of the year, and the month of Februus, who typified the dark and evil ways of business, to immediately follow, Caesar, who waa speaker of the Sen - ate, stood pat on the old calendar uiion the ground that whole war. aa nome-; wjic iiM.i rait,, m iitrii, isuaiiivo, wiieu 11 reaches the trust stage.

Revihlng the calendar was as great an issue in Roman politics as revising the tariff has becomo In our own, and more than one brave leader laid down ; his inu lor mo oivittion in rimo as ne thought it ought to bo or his party had pledged. The Romans discovered very early In their history that it Is In the nature of man to revii-.e something, and they finally agreed upon the cal endar as the thing over which the poli ticians could fight with the least dam age to tho peace and prosperity of thn (icoplti as a whole.
