BRINGING THINGS UP TO DATE.
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.

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. The plan-1

bold and Infamous, and we do not be-

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,

ate, stood pat on the old calendar uiion

the nature of man to revii-.e something,
and they finally agreed upon the cal

(icoplti as a whole.
The melancholy days will pass, and
spring will come again to freshen up
