The Observer is in receipt of a com munication dated at Portland and mitwyaA K U C U...1.. V Si. it . ' I uJ.'Jl E,aCk' W'. S- ... ,u Ur,r, urgmg the people to vote against what is known as the "Sterilization" bill at November referendum election. They set forth the lack of wisdom of per mitting an asylum superintendent to pass upon the cases to be sterilized, claiming the superintendent is not even under oath and he is liable to mutilate humanity which in years to come might prove of value to society. Col. C. E. 8. Wood adds his approv- ai or the bill in a foot note and la-I bels the proposed law as "nothing but ! N0w,r Col. Wood says a whole lot in those few words.. But the sterilization bill is not the : only piece of rot put over on the people of late. We have a whole yard full of rot in the shape of laws that are worthless, laws that are of value to only a few and there, fore, are the product of class legisla tion. : Take for instance, the much talked of "Blue Sky" law. We are informed by able attorneys that a corporation cannot be formed in Oregon now with out first breaking this law. That it is an impossibility to proceed as the law outlines. Yet the "Blue Sky" law created a handsome office for one of Governor West's pets and the people are told by the Salem contingent thai it is a fine law. We are lawed to death and if Col. Wood's definition of the proposed sterilization act was applied to two thirds of present day legislation the application would be. entirely correct. PASSING JUDGMENT EARLY. Editor Aldrich, of the, Pend'Hon Eas: Oregonian, with hi? usuaty poi Iiveium, has laHled the m Grrnde torn of commissi ?i f-Mernment a miserai c failure. l'e toys it is fet . tinu i'vay from "tSij peor,ii" that un der its provisions "the people do not rule" and then he rambles off into La Grande National Bank Organized in DKSIOTATKD DIP08IT01Y OF C51TKD STATES eOTKKXKHT. tllllD STARS POSTAL 81 TOWS SirOSItVBT.

' t We respectfully solicit your business. La Grande National Bank U Graju Orefoa platitudes and fails to show why he makes the bold assertions. But Editor Aldrich might be mis taken. In fact, La Grande people be-. lieve there is a splendid chance for this teacher of the public to have er red in his early judgment. He has never seen a commission, form of gov ernment at work. All she knows by actual observation is such municipal campaigns as the last Matlock cam paign when voting was fast and fur ious and betting was heavier than it used to be at the "ringside" in "Frisco. Yet with the atmosphere surrounding him the East Oregonian man hastens to call the commission plan we have adopted in La Grande, a failure. , Perhaps it would not do in Pendle ton, but in a live .hustling town like La Grande there is every reason to believe it will work satisfactorily. Senator LaFollette will be original and different at whatever cost For instance, no other senator has the nerve to wear a pompadour. There seems to be as much artistic temperament among baseball stars as among those of grand opera, and it pays just as well, too. when Daniel Webster was secre- ut hi. salary .by playing poker..

Cherry, grower of flowers and producer of ' green vegetables when snow flies, does not dispute the fact that Hot Lake has cats that instinct ively know the arriving; time .of the trains, does not deny that Hot Lake employes call fish to supper by whistl ing, nor does he scout the strange tales of rare feats in animal teachings there, but he does point with some pride to a frog in his hot house. No need for barometer, thermometer or automatic regulator of heat in that es tabdshment. 1 here is a lull grown frog in said institution that is all this. If the place grows a little too hot, a croak from Mr. Frog reminds the pro. prietor to stop the draft; if it grows suddenly chilled, another croak or two, and Mr. Proprietor knows there is need of more fuel in the furnace. Likewise, if the morrow will bring storm and drop in temperature which the green house goodB could not with stand without: special preparation, a song of warning comes from the frog and the warning is heeded. Mr. Frog is diligent, never cries "Wolf! Wolf.!" when there is no wolf, and never goes to sleep on the 'job either. "I would- not think of selling that frog or even permitting it to be destroyed, for it is a better weather forecaster than Beats and' Benham put together.", is the way that Mr. Cherry lauds the ed urated frog.

Felix Diaz, nephew of Porfirio Diaz, presi dent ruler of Mexico for so many years but now exiled, was expected to land here today from the steamer orcovada, which sailed from Havre September 20. Federal officials refused to dis cuss rumors that young Diaz, who started the revolution, which ended in the overthrown and cold-blooded mur ders of President Madero and Vice President Suarez, and the usurpation of the presidency by Huerta, would be arrested on the letter's order. Diaz was sent abroad on a special mission by Huerta. It was charged at the time that Huerta pracfically exiled Diaz rather than do away with him, for fear of arousing the Diaz adher ents against him.
