Oh, Ye Reformers And nuw comes William U'lton, who can dream a govern mental dream that would make Soviet Russia smile, with a new form of goverfimejit for Oregon. Jlr. U'Ren wants to change our government which now exists and that, by the way, is one of U'Hens' plans, worked out and perfected by the Peoples l'ower League, whatever that is. But U'Uen would do away with the present kind of politics in which parties are mentioned and he would substitute a sort Of hit and miss "occupation" government. Different trades and professions would be entitled to so many candidates for office. U'Ren is not mentioned as final dictator, but it probably will get to that before he has finished. Anyway, under the new plan, Oregon would emerge from the present methods used, which were supposed to be the last step in free democracy, and estab lish a sort of soviet form of cabinet bunk in which humail nature would undergo no change, hence results would be no better and chances are they would le much worse. We suppose the reformer has a place in the scheme of living the wild-eyed reformer, whose isms and fancies run,, with, the sky as the limit but there should at least be some way to make him an entertainer, rather than to seriously. Consider aloption of his plans. ' ;:. . ' j The U'Ren idea may servp to amuse; it may go even fill ther it may serve to arouse a strain of earnest thought on gov.J ernmental affairs, but its adoption would be so far removed from present day sanity that Oregon indeed would stand for as the thirty-third degree freak.

I S men's clubs of Oregon matched .a row similar in nature to what 1 happened in Washington. And it was all because Mrs. Alexander 1 Thompson used what some of her club sisters call "snappy politics" ' to get a motion through that delegates should be elected by a ris ing vote after nominations were made from the floor. Airs. Tlumip Fon is rather cunning and she probably knew that women, as rule, hesitate to take a decisive stand for or against any club candi date. Jf she did not know it when she made the motion, she knows it now. Well, the nominations were made and the election proceed ed with only a few members voting and very tense atmosphere pre vailing. When the meeting adjourned, say, mister, according to the toned down reports, the lobby of the hotel was the scene of freezing glances and an occasional bitter remark percolated through the chilled air. We will have to back up. The Washington women had a worse low than did the Oregon women, but the Observer has to admit that our own women had a row, just the same. .Ko.daks There's Vim 'at the time in making Kb'dati pictures . and they store-up full.; for- ' the future; ' , -i, .ts'f. : v.

TRY AN OBSERVER AD Wisd lsciom Here is wisdom, or. ye poets and essayists and fiction writers! Here is wisdom from the mouth of a babe. May we, in our own craft, lay it to heart. Miss Levine, who edits the Hoys' and Girls' Post of Chicago, has exhibited a poem in three stanzas contributed by one of her young readers, to which the author appends the following , postsci ipt : "There is much more to write, but it spoils the poem." 1 Messed infant, who taught thee this golden secret of the writ ing art, this secivt which so many never learn though they live to be bent and gray in the service of letters? You are too young yet to know how many a poem and essay and book, how many an editorial has been spoiled by the needless word, the paddling line, the uninspired elaboration. I '.ill if yon will cherish this secret, live by it m the realm of intellect and im agination, write by it in the joy of expression and creation, yon1 may yet earn the glad praise of critics who know better than they can perform.
