THIS KLKCTION I, AW.
WITHOUT doubt no state in the
union has such n farcical election
law as the one under which Oregon
nroDoscs to hold its coming elec
tion. There is not one redeeming
feature nboiit the law as a whole
and some or its propositions arc so
absurd that they appear ridiculous
when one examines the whole thing
carefully.
liven "statement number one
in the Hue of a pledge is so ex
tremelv idiotic that lew of the
candidates are willing to sign it:
and those who do siun it never in
tend to keep the agreement. Ccr
tuinlv they will not keep the agree
iiieul if the state goes other than
their way. To sign such a state
ment as "Number one" means that
the roster of liars will increase more
than the usual percent and that
there will be someone badly "let
down" when the finish comes goes
without saying.
Why was a law like the Oregon
election law ever passed? A
ttutheriiii! of ehildien under the age
of consent could not have made a
worse conglomeration of what might
have been a tlecent and lirniny
uffoitl If the Otegon election law
contains one point count them!
one! that is not a lotteu proiMwi
tiou we have failed to discover the
samel Possibly, some one had a
dav off at one time, and desired to
see how absuid and questionable a
document he could produce: lie
labored and brought foith the docu
iiieut under which the state is to
work at the nearby election!
Whoever may have Itien the
father of the election law or who-
ever may have voted to make the
same a valid document mot eer
taiuly deserves the sympathy and
the pity of the mass of voters of
Oreeou: it would be unjust to con
demii Ilium, ntton the ground that
to chastise a fool is an insult to
the Almighty! Vet it is a hard
pioiKisitiou that the' state is up
acainst and theie si-ems to be 110

SINCIv Hlshop Potter started his
"saloon ' project in New York, lie
has had many imitators ill different
portions of the world. The latest
is Rev. 15. S. Thackery, of Lou
don, who has just bought an inn
called the "Pish and Ivels, and
will Open the place as a moderate
priced resort.
With the inn there are fishing
rights along three and ouehalf miles
of river, and the reverend is to
make a bin attraction in the sport
lug line. When asked to explain
his new departure Mr. I hackery
said:
"There is a good deal ol caul tu
these days. My Itcllef regarding
the Sabbath is that it is first a day
on which man's mind siioiiki turn
toward Ills creator. Therefore I do
my best to get my patrons to attend
divine services on Sundays. Hut
after that is attended to I can see
110 harm in their fishing or boating,
Innocent amusement is never harm

Sunday or Monday. The reciea
Hons on Sunday should be such as
fit a man to go about his duties

law-abidiui: and cheerful manner.

of it. At the same time I cxttcct

during the hours prescribed by
law. oil see we are not so pro-
vinclal here as in America. The
idea of forced prohibition I do not
believe to be practical. Nor is it
airreeable to an enlightened free
Iteome. Such legislation as this is
destiuclive of liberty an iufrigc
ment on individual rights."
