ABOUT SHORTER HOURS.
Ed Howe, who publishes the Howe
Monthly at Atchison, Kansas, takes
a whack at Shorter Hours propogan
da, in these words: " j
"The most persistent Yankee scream
is:
"Shorter hours. '
: "Let me tell you something that is
true and important, and which pos-.
sibly you have not thought of before: '
"WhaJt we need is not shorter hour.s j
but longer hours. No man can make ;
a real success in life working short '
hours; every man who gets aJong in;
any calling is a Rat, and works more;
than union hours. J - ,; ; -v ' ?
"Thove are high-priced men in this;
country who work only six hours a I
day; there are thousands of men re-
ceiving big salaries in the public ser
vice who do not average that. j
"St is not enough; short hours: is
the trouble with most people who do !
not get along. Investigate the men!
in the bread line, and you will find 1
that this is the trouble.
The trouble ,, in Mexico is short
hours of work, and long hours of
dissipation, and igitation for still,
shorter hours. . ;' . :';'.., f - ;' '
.' "We Yankees do not work too hard;
long hours is not one of our wrongs;
but short hours, and making them
shorter from year to year, is one of
our mistakes." j
LEGISLATURE HARMONIOUS.

best interests Stewart voted for Sell
ingand John Gill voted ' against
Selling.
Tho election of Ben Selling is, n
hard rap to the state disturbers. By
disturbers we mean the democratic
contingency which is always "anti"

Portland Journal could have had
nothing happen that hurt worse than
Selling's election to the speakership,
likewise the East Oregonian and the
Medford Tribune and a number of
smaller newspapers over the state, y'
Thoy were all for Eaton because, in
him they saw a chance to create dis
cord, and further than that it is well
known that Allan Eaton and Oswald
West haye been training with each
other for some time. Eaton's elec
tion over Selling would have meant; a
West victory, and ' a West victory
means a Journal victory, and a Jour
nal victory means a continuation ! cf
hypocrisy and a prolongation of the
Dr. Jeykel and Mr. Hyde brand of
politics which has been so successful
ly oarried on in Oregon for the past
eight years.
The only present state officer who
seemed, to use to enjoy the result of
today's proceeding was Thomas Kay,
state treasurer who is all wool and
full 86 inches in width every day in
the calendar year.
We could see no smiles on Secre
tary of State Olcott's face, neither
could we see a reflection of joy in
Ralph Watson's countenance. Our
old friend Babcock, who has just been'
displaced in order to give Ifern Hobbs
a lucrative job, rejoiced, of course,
for ho hates the very anatomy of
West and all that goes with him But
Babcock could hardly be called a state
officer, for he has an "ex" in front
of his title now.
There was little demonstration over
tho Selling victory because every man
who voted for Selling apparently is
here to work, thus fulfilling the prom
ises he has made to folks at home.
.-. Representative Woodell from Unidn
county voted for Eaton much to the
amusement of tho old time legislature
observers. His name is the Inst one
on the roll and long before the read
ing clerk in sonorous- tones yelled
"Woodell" Selling's election was as
sured and ' Woodoll's ' vote- could not
have.' changed the result ' On every
hand could be hoard, "Why did not
that man vote for Soiling. Eaton was
beaten, and he, could have got in out
of the wet and done someJ good for
his constituents by standing with the
organization even if he had expected
to support Eaton." But Jim Woodcil
stood pat. : H? had promised Allr.ii
Eaton to vote for him and he deliver
ed tho goods. .
Apparently' Woodell and the other
democrats .in the house lost sight of
the compliment they could have paid
President . Wilson's administration,
and forced upon the house recogni
tion of a democratic party by putting
up a democrat for the speakership.
The way President Wilson is play
ing party politics at this time would
indicate that his appreciation of such
(an act of the .Oregon Democrats in
this legislature would have been con
siderable. v '
In the senate there will be some
fun when Senator Strayer of Baker
county gets his knife shapened for
that Blue Sky law. Ralph Watson,
who is at the head of that depart
ment, is expecting something to hap
pen, and well he may expect it for
Strayer is - down to Salem with a
firm determination of revising that
law so that mines in Baker county
can be legitimately promoted. In other
words Strayer believes no. mine was
ever a mine before it was a prospect
and that no prospect can bo developed
without taking a chance. He is not
backing any wild cat mining but he
will demand a more elastic attitude
of the Blue Sky officials toward
Oregon mining, and when Strayer gets
squared for action they will all know
that Baker county has a senator in
this session. ..v
Senator Kiddle has started out wav
inir the olive branch of peace. Today
one of the democratic senators saw
fit to arraign Kiddle's party in rather
severe language. In fact the arra
ignment was quite eloquent and caused
considerable oratorical exertion. When
the senator had concluded, Kiddle
presented hi mwith the fag end of a
Christmas tree that he had picked up
in the lobby indicating that the twig
represented the olive branch of peace,
greatly to the amusement of the en
tire -senate. ,t ,t
Ike Bingham, who a few years ao
said he was through with politic:.,
just as everyone says that very thing
occasionally, is back from Lane coun- "being through ' with 1 politic" ! s
ty holding down a seat in' the senate
and appears to be thoroughly inter
ested in reducing taxes.
