The umber of measures on the ballot thnt - be placed In the hands of the voters this fall shows that tlic people , are liable to do tneniHelves jnore harm than pood by the abuse of this power. The initiative and re.'ir ndum ane too valuable to be used In discriminately as they are at the pres ' ant time. Of the 28 measures placed on the allot by initiative pet It rim thene Is ardly one that really deserves to be there. Every oae of these promised ' lws could he considered by the leg. talature and better results secured. - than by use of the Initiative. This right to rail upon the people of the Mate to make a law without having It onsldened by the legislature should mot be invoked unless the assembly ' tcfuses absolutely to bred the voice f the people.

(Having received the nomination for joint senator from the two counties of Union nnd Wallowa. Mr. Kiddle will most likely' be elected, and will re ceive the support or the Scout. State ment No, 1 has eliminated politics from this office The candidate re ceiving the highest number of votes for I'nlted States senator will receive the vote of whomsoever Ib elected senator or representative. . For that reason, there is nothing of a political nuturo in the office. Kiddle Is a nmn of large Influence throughout the state Ing to make It of thnt kind. As 'a Honey maker, the offioa of statu scna- r l a heavy loser. The Interests ( f the. counties to be represented de mand thp work of a good, careful man. Mr. Kiddle Is the proper man to elect,' as we believe. He is a-safe, conservative, and careful business man. and will give dun attention r to each and every measure. This is said without disrespect to Mr. Kiddle's befon the legislature. NO' doubt, many buslnes measures will come up before the state senate, nnd we know of no one to whom such matters can be more safely trusted than to E. E. Kiddle. This should be a campaign of education, and we are ready and will. ano win ao good and etlective work opponent. We find no fault in him. but hellcMe that of the two.'

BROKEN ENGLISH. , Trials of a Frenchman With One of Our Common Verbs. ' English is said to be the hardest lan guage lu the world to foreigners. This It a brond statement, which might be hard to prove, but certainly it it not the easiest lu the world. A professor in an eastern college relates a French friend's trials with our verb "break.' He wrltet: "1 begin to understand your Inngoag better, but your. verbs trouble me still. I saw my friend Mrs. S. Just now. 8be snys she intends to break down ber school earlier than usual.

' Tne dream as it unrolls itself before the sleeper's coiisi-iv.uxiiess is an ulle goricnl or yui!xli(nl expresxltui: of the Ideas whl:-h lelona to bis tlioulit' world, writes iliu ICev. Suuiuel Mv Comb, D.. D., lu tbe Century. Why should dreams take on an allegorical dress?- Why are they not, as a rule, a literal trm.sferente of events and ex perience from a waking state to a sleeping state? ' - Tbe .answer is because tbe normal waking consciousness which acts as a kind of, check upon painful or disn-g.-eeable thoughts uud feelings relaxes .'ts activities during sleep and allows tot.-v thoughts and feelings to pass int consciousness, only, however, wheu their motie have been disguised un der a hidden of symbolism. ? . If it were not no. If dreams literally reflected the conaicts ur.d yenrnlnge of the workaday world, they rould set up such emotional . excitement as would arouse tbe waking consciousness and so uiake nn end of sleep; hence the valuable reflection is forced upon us thut dreams fulfill the Important func tion of preserving sleep. They are thus seen to bear vitally upon our health and happiness.. Another Interesting question which modern Investigation bits beeu able to answer Is. Out of what materials are dreams constructed? Nothing can come Into our dreams tbut hue not entered Into our past experiences. The thoughts of the mental -state Immediately pre ceding sleep are bard to recover after ward, btlt when tbey are recovered they are ' found to iierslst tor 'our dreams.
