In every instance the transportation

Mr. Koerner is a faithful member
of the City Council in the deliber

ticipant in outlining and conduct

men of Mr. Koerner's unassuming
and conservative type in the man
agement of public affairs the need
of grand jury investigations would
be largely dispensed with.
o
EMPLOY THE INITIATIVE.
The movement, initiated at a pub
lic meeting in Yamhill, to invoke
the referendum on the appropriation
bill in an effort to eliminate the
bi-ennial allowance for the state
normal schools is open to criticism,
Constructive, rather than destruct
ive, legislation is the only means of
treating the subject without a seri
ous and costly interruption result
ing to the state in the management
of its various institutions for which
an appropriation is absolutely re
quired to be available every two
years.
To refer the appropriation bill in
question by referendum petition
would tie up the various appropria
tions that have been made for the
insane asylum, state prison, reform,
deaf mute, and blind schools. The
result would be the issuance of in
terest bearing warrants. The abuse
complained of can be directly reach-
to Congress a message on the sub
ject, pointing out the necessity of
gathering divorce statistics in all
the states, and referring to the
"wide-spread conviction that the di
vorce laws are dangerously lax and
indifferently administered in some
of the states, resulting in a dimin
ishing regard for the sanctity of the
marriage relation. Between 1869
and 1901 the number of divorces
granted in the United States was
700,000, and the number for the
next thirty-four years at the same
ratio, would be' 3,000,000. That
means broken homes for 6,000,000
men and women, and for not less
than 12,000,000 children, this deep
wrong to the young being one of the
most serious features of what must
be called the diseased condition of
the divorce laws in the various states
which are in conflict with each other
with morality and with common
sense.
Missouri has not purposely assail
ed the marriage relation. But its
loose and antiquated laws on divorce
are almost an invitation to licenti
ous views on matrimony, and thev
are undeniably a light estimate of
its responsibilities. The statute of
this state on common law marriages
dates from the English law of 1607.
That English law was changed in
England in 1753, but still holds its
place in the statutes of Missouri in
1905. The various bills .on divorce
pending in the legislature contain
important reform ideas. They touch
on advertising to procure divorces ;
marriage contracts until one year
after a provisional decree; causes
of divorce, and the regulation of
But he should not examine his own
mind and then shout to the world
that everv man near sixtv is a fool.
Most of us think of life not as
measured by years or days, but as a
succession of infinite moments. It
is a procession of flashlights on the
continuous screen of our memory
on which we see ourselves in vari
ous - sudden attitudes heroic, fool
ish, abashing, ludicrous, and in
spiring. It is like the humming
kinetscope which we can slow up
sometimes to see the continuous
action break into contortions as the.
whirl slackens, imtil at last, the
machine nearly stopped, we fail to
recognize the glory and quick life of
what but a moment ago we were en
jo3ing. Cosequently, to the great
world that does and thinks none too
much, it is a short life and a hot
one in preference to a long one and
a cold one. Better to struggle and
fight and drop exhausted, than to
worry along, hiding in the corners
and avoiding the highways filled !
with dangers.

"Thirteenth How many of the Sena-
tors and Representatives composing the
ways and means committee - of the late j
session of the Legislature were from the
Normal School counties? Will Senator j
Kuykendall or Representative Mills please
explain how so many from these Normal
School counties came to be selected for
that committee? ' Did the selection of
the members of this committee have any
thing to do with the organization of the
House and the Senate?
A candid answer of the above ques
tions ' would be greatly appreciated by
the public."
Bound To Employ Referendum.
"While I am satisfied that construc
tive tegislation proposed . by initiative
petition is a better means of treating
the normal school question than is the
plan of invoking the referendum," said
W. S. ITRen today, "still I 00 not think
there is any possible way to prevent the
movement that was started at the Mc
Minnviile mass meeting from being car
ried out. By treating the subject through
the initiative the Normal Schools would
have two years in which to close up their
business, and this could be done if the
appropriation bill were not referred at
this time.
"The sentiment, however, demanding
that the referendum be invoked on the
appropriation bill is growing in every
section of the state," continued Mr..
URen. "Today I received several let
ters from different sections of the state
and each . represents the sentiment in
that respective locality to be pronounced
for employing the referendum without
delay. The author of one letter was so
much in earnest he wrote that even if
the hold-up of the appropriations con
tained in the bill should cost the state
$100,000, the tax-payers would profit, for
the referendum is aimed at items in the
bill that aggregate nearly $150,000.
Mr. ITRen visited McMinnville Satur
day for the purpose of suggesting the
use of initiative legislation rather than
the referendum in the treatment of the
case, but he found the Yamhill people
determined to refer the bill to the peo
ple at once. Sentiment among the- or
iginators of the referendum movement
at this time is not only against the ap
propriations for the three minor Normal
Schools of the State aggregating $130.-
000, but serious objections are made to
several items that have been appropri
ated for the State University and the
State Agricultural College.
"The Yamhill people," stated Mr.
U'Ren, "are determined to invoke the
referendum on the appropriation bill, not
only to cut off this particular extrava
gance, but also as a matter of principle
to strike a death blow to the log-rolling
practices of the state school combinatiun
holding that the Agricultural College
and the University delegations are as
guilty and dangerous as the normal
school representatives."
