general outlook of erope la this state
at good Fall aown wheat is filling

the hope Throughout the at ate tba
outlook ie good especially for bay and
fall wheat, corn, gardens, potaose,
field ooiont and tngar beet continue
doing well . V
Events of a most homiliatiog na
ture bate hastened the time for thn
people of Oregon to begin to thiok
about making selections of ons Sena
tor to represent the state in ' the
United Slates 8enat and two mem
bars of the House of Representatives
The Initiative and Referendum re
cently adopted in this slate and tbe
. - - --. tao.inns.
while they give the private oilima far
more power and influence in public
affaire than heretofore, they also cor
respondingly, inorease the personal
responsibility of each voter.
Tbe private otr in Ore on can no
longer shirk tbe responsibility of a
. loll snare in tne managemens or
public affairs or in the stleetson t f
proper persons to represent the atate
In the council of the nation. When
a bad man Is selected to represent
Oregon In the 8enate of the United
States of House of Bepresentolives
the voter can not now skolk be lind
that mysterious and conaious!es
"thny1' and ssy they did it: and if
sbam is cast upon the fair name of
the state, an the finger of scorn is
v pointed at Oregon and Oregonians be
cause of the baa sots of our repress- -Utivee
In the council chambers of the
nation, or if our state does not grow
in population, wealth, and all tbe
fsoilities for comfortabls living as
fast as our neighboring stste do bs
cause of b.d laws o; unwise policies,
each voter must take bis full share of
tbe opprolium and reprosoh "They
anil mi" haan twan eliminated from
the vocabulary of free men, it is - now
"I aud we" We must now use pro
nouns of the fir t peison in talking or
thinking of what has been done In
public matteie or io what it is pro
posrd to do. Fully comprehending
the personal responsibility that airi
now Dlact d on each of us as vutera in
a free oounity let each freeman givt
to the nation and atate Ins best
thought and most manly action so
that each can stand in tbe vigorous
dimity of lull erowo manhood and
look tbe world in its fane with un
blanohing eye and say "I did my full
duty, as 1 saw i', to my country and
atate But let each remember th
with tbe great power now possessed
by esoh voter io Oteiion' th outside
