Government Facts Oregon stands today ns a bright sample, ami advance agent, for our American institu tions. Our public land has lxen sold and the money accredited to the much-needed irrigation of our arid lands. We expect something for this loyalty and tinnneial support to the great combine of human intelligence we Iiml as the United Stales of America. We expect protection from insiduous organization of capital to our detriment, who without adequate examination, which so large an enterprise certainly demands, seek to inter fere with the earnest desire of the people who have existed some way ou this dry land fully expecting that the government would sometime use the money that this and othor public lands of Oregon have paid into the l'. S. treasury, and which has been set aside for the purpose of reclaiming lands that would otherwise be worthless. The land of this country, and the contingent water should ! united in the holy bonds of mat rimony, suitable congenial bride and bridegroom. Our relation to these highly conpelent parties demand that. We want to at tend the wedding feast, and arc willing to pay admission fee luflicient to reimburse for all the cost, but we do not want any obsequious doorkeeper to inlerforein our family affairs. Uncle Ham is the head of our family, and he has much to do, and if some few things are not lone brown it is not because of partiality. We are his blood relatives and as such we make all due allowance for the over time he puts in for our bent-lit There are many things to con sider, and the most important is, the water will run to the sea unless we use it. The paHt exploits of the Uni ted Stales ioniums our fuith ihut the nation can do things bl tier than some other agency interested only in piling up weallh to satisfy personal wealth The nation has been successful in all military enterprises. The ' ' mil .. -o.. .1 in i 'i w.-i iiiim, inii i. nr ait. ii Ww York, was an international need supplied by minimal pus),. The Panama canal, uniting two gfOOl oceans, is under govern ment management, as are ulso the wealhor bureau, the depart- in-lit of agriuuiture with its many experimental stations; the civil service examination ena bles the authorities to select the very best to be hud for gov. eminent employ. Examples are too numerous to doubt the ability of the government to do things better than anybody else. With the opportunities af forded und long enjoyed by the American republic, we, as citi zens, can do no otherwise than have abiding faith that our gov ernment has the ability aud Will do right, aud build the Malheur Irrigation project. J. 8. Mil i ims Don't Kick. Don't kick because you have to button your wife's waist. Bc glad your wife has a waist, and doubly glad you have a wife to button a waist for. Some men's wives' waists have no buttons on to button. Koine men's wives wlio have no waists with buttons on to button don't care a continental whether they are buttoned or not.
