Readers of the Oregonian i.f tin- lasl few iiiuiilh have been' surprised and chagrined al the tfriiss heinrm ineonsistenev f that journal. To the majority it may seem inoxplieahle, hut. to those wlio have lollowed its strange and devious eoui'se for the past ten yours its atti tude and the motives behind it are so plain that even the blind can read the Iruc nieaninn between the lines. Ever sinec its editor became jnfected with the "baeeil lus senatorial is," morality, consist emiy, have been sacri ficed upon the altar, nf personal. ambition an ambition doomed to be unsatisfied and unfulfilled. It has been but a few years 'since the, Ora;iiiian was replete with able editorials in behalf .of the primary elec tion law, and the initiative and referendum. ,Tlu n it was that its editor was hailed as a "tribune of the people." Had he been possessed of political acumen he would have perceived that that was the psyeolof-ical moment to at tempt the realization of his consuming political ambition. But it was doubtless difficult for a past master of political manipulation to trust the people. ' Tt was perhaps impossible for one who pilloried legis lators who sold their votes for senator for coin and refused to carry out the contract, but who had only words' of praise for the bribe-giver, to trust his cause to the people, or to conceive of the election of a senator by another than the time-honored means of bribery and corruption. Hut the legislature failed to respond to the earnest yearnings of the man who believed the republican party in Oregon owed him its greatest gift. From the time of that defeat an old man grew old fast er and became embittered. He believed that his enp had been filled with treacheries to the brim, by those whom be hail trusted and aided. These sentiments s i were reflect ed in the editorial pages of the Oregonian, and from day tn tin. .foli-like lamentations of its editor-in-chief would affront the eye of its republican readers. Forget he could not, and forgive he would not. Soon there came a new light in the great editor's life. Francis.). Honey came to Oregon and the land iiwu pros editions began, and the indicted were I hose, who bad thwarted the ambitions of Harvey W. Scott to be senator from Oregon. His enemies in office and out were soon pressed to earth beneath the harsh hand of federal pros edition. When the envious ( 'asca drove his dagger home in Caesar's flesh ho probably did not feel half the elation that filled the atmosphere in the Oregonian building when Mitchell, Hermann, Hall, Williamson and their political friends were humiliated and disgraced by indictment, con viction, or removed from office. Subtly denying the t ruth of the charges against these defendants in its editorials, daily that journal gave to the public most damning state- n.nvi"a i-.f dictx iio-iiinst them, which were for the most part either prepared by or sc oured from those engaged in the prosecution. The next chapter is of the present. The primary law and the initiative and referendum, once so heartily in dorsed and ably advocated, are presented as the dreams of fools and inventions of imbeciles, greatly in the major ity in Oregon. All wisdom now invested in the members get right on the sonatorsbip. 1 f anyone dares question the inconsistency of the Oregoiiian's position on these ques tions, the fierce reply is that "consistency is an ass." But stronger still are the honied words that are doled out to the land fraud defendants. Those who three years ago rose each morn with one first thought id' what that journal would publish at the behest of the prosecution con cerning those accused by (he government of violating the laud laws- those who begged for even a word of doubt, are now overwhelmed with sympathy and made to appear us martyrs. Kven hi' who was for years snubbed and ridiculed as "Wily Bingor,""Our Uinger" and treated with contempt, is now referred to as "Hon. I'.inger Hermann." Whereat you smile. Hut have you not read that the tamers of the wild beasts often pursue the plan of starving their captives into submission, and thereafter winning their affection hp iri'vmrr food find drill k ( And men are but beasts in many respects. Afmi'n imihitiim dies with Fulton, who never found a word in his defense against Honey's charges in the Oregonian till after his defeat, out of the way, and a republican democratic candidate for senator, there looms bctore a jaundiced imagination a possibility of a realization of a fond and cherished hope. The vinegar is turned to oil and hastily is poured on the wounds inflicted by the same hand that now up dies the soothing ungeiit. This is the hope that leads the Oregonian to discover that some members of the assembly committed to State ment No. are about, to resign or violate their pledge, and that such an net would not only be u pardonable sin, but a praiseworthy net. The discovery may have been made, or it may lo only n suggestion, hut in the following of that suggestion there lies hope for One. but disgrace for niuny. But such has ever been the road of selfish, umbitiun. the I'.Hlnffii-e at Mclfunl, Ort-icm. throuidi its news columns. and integrity in the stale is of the legislature if they him seldom before. With legislatui oninntted to a TO KEEP THE CJT Y CLEAN. The people of Mid foul will soon have an opportunity to vote upon the question of a crematory to burn garbage ai.d i nhbish, instead of dumping it upon vacant lots, where it becomes a source o pestilence and disease. There is no ur.esti. ti but that such a place is needed, IkhM.v i eeded, ai:d there is also no question but that if an epidemic of disease should start here the cost in human life would far exceed the cost of a crematory such as it is pro posed to erect. There is only one question for the people to consider that is whether the expense is justified at the present time or not, whether the saving of a few dollars can be weighed against the possible saving " many human lives. One thing is certain better hygenic arrangements should govern this city. Tt is a wonder that typhoid l.as not already seized the town in its coffin-like grasp, ft is not necessary to await the coming of the crematorium t put into effect rigid rules for the disposition and collect! . of the garbage. . Sewers should be extended, garbage collected daily and other provisions necessary 1 maintain Lealth in any coi i inunity be put into effect at once.

We know some things, of course; or think we do. Hut the best of all will be I lie greatest surprises. We would not have il otherwise. Thiil is whv wise women, however si long their fliilh, glad that social ism will onlv be permitted to come slowlv, us a bottle of medicine is pre scribed by the spoonful. To swallow I lie whole contents might lead lo dire iHeiiiences. eVt the whole, anil noth ing less I h.ni the whole, will cure. So. if "socialism were brought about by a violent revolution tomorrow, not one of us would be quite ready lo rise lo her opportunities,- Imwever much we have studied and striven; which would lie a deplorable disaster, for bear in mind. Urn oimnrlunitioB which social ism will bring lo women will hav lo he taken seriously, lo Hi hill, fill and thrust. A woman is now but a cipher in the community, cut off from completeness and of little account. Hut when she m-s into her heritage her whole out look will be changed, and she will have to be careful s uch will depend. Looking around nt I he number of wom en 'failures" in our midst, it is impos sible lo he proud of a syslem which publicly proclaims "Straight is tlie gate and narrow is I he way which lend eih into ligc. . . . Ilroa.l is the way that lendelh to destruction." Socialists say litis is not as it should he, and social ism will reverse that order of things. The road lo destruction will bo fenced and barred, while ibe gate leading into life will be flung open wide for all to enter. That is our grievance against the present order of things, liven if all were willing lo enter the gate that leads to life, it is nut wide enough open to admit I hem. Special privileged persona, with much powet, selfishly guard its portals, und the majority have no choice bill to lake the other road. Keep Them Up to the Mark. Socialism will keep women up to the mark iusl as individualism keeps them below it. How I'-T they fall below, one has onlv lo go into the mean streets of our big cities to see. Tho sl.'tternly, un tidy home, scant of fiirnilure and bare of everv creature comfort; the drunken. dissolute mothers; the dirty, diseased children -one glimpse of these things suffices to indicate how far women have fallen below the mark set by Wil I nun Morris, lie was only human, re member. How much lower, then, have lhrv fallen below the standard set by their makerf And what has brought women to this passf Foyer! v and oppression, ehtetly i Poverty compels them lo live in mean streets; poverty renders their occupan cy even of the vilest slums insecure; poverty robs them of their spirit and prevents them from taking that inter est in their homes which only security can stimulate. Socialism would abolish poverty, slums, rags, and concomitant evils. It would have no use for these thing- which are distinctly useful, be it remembere tern. under u capitalistic sy IHOHT WORKMEN KILLED BV SEWER COLLAPKE DAYTON, ti, duly 1. -Kijrht work men are licit, mm to nave neeu in a newer cave in North Dayton toil ay.
