While a great many voters have not
yet registered, it is gratifying to note
the interest that Is being taken, which
indicates that a great majority of the
voters of the county will be registered
in time to participate In the primary
nominating election. It requires a
few year to educate the people to the
fact that they are solely responsible
for the men who are nonlnat?rt. Un
der the Bystem In voguo for years,
prior to the present system, the mat
ter of the nominees was left Uigely
to the leaders who controlled the con
ventions and the Individual votun had
little if anything to say. It Is differ
ent now. The responsibility now rests
solely -with the Individual voter and
he Is responsible and must be de
pended upon to name the tickets, and
to do this he must not only regli;er,
but. must Inform himself as to the
qualifications of the y various c-indi-dates,
so the-ballot In tho nominating
election can be Intelligently cast.
In view of the fact that during the
past 10 days a sufficient amount of
water has rushed through the Grande
Ronde river to irrigate the entire val
ley, we cannot refrain from wishing
that the energy that Is now being
expended In a law suit to determine
the priority of water rights could not
be directed toward a storage of these
waste waters, whereby there would
be more than enough for all. How
ever, a judicial decree which ever way
It goes, will doubtless bring efforts
later on that will lead to the storage
of these waters.
