In view of the decision of the courts upon the initiative nnd referendum amendment to the Constitution of Ore gon, the promoters of the Direct Nom iuaiinR League are fiettiog busy, prepar ing several proposed amendments to be placed before the public through ihe itiiiitive method. Of first importance Hmong these proposed laws is the direct primary nominations law, designed to do away with county conventions, and permit the direct nomination of city and county officials at the primaries. The organisation of this league was set on foot shortly after the iniative and referendum amendment was passed. But owing to the adverse decisions of the lower courts, the organization was checked. Now, nothing stands in the way, and a meeting is to be called early in the new year for the purpose of com pleting the organization. The biil containing the amendments desired is now in ihe hands of the printers, and a petition is being circu lated for the purpose of securing sig natures of a sufficient number of voters to satisfy the requirements of the inia tive method of enacting a law. It is also believed that the necessary eight per cent of voters will be easily secured and the direct primary nominations law placed before the people at the June election. It is also believed that the law will meet with favor among the poople. Of the three proposed amendments that will be put before tiie voters, the one affecting the method of election, is, possibly, of the greatest importance. It contemplates a radical change in the present system. Instead of the present method, through which delegates are selected at the primaries to attend city and county conventions for the purpose of uorniuiitiug city and county officers, u more brief plan is proposed. The county and city conventions are to be abolished. Under the proposed law the ity and oonnty officers will be nomi nated ia the primaries, without the further necossity of a convention. Under the initiative and referendum amendment a law may be enacted or tho constitution of the state can be nniondod by the people without waiting for the action of the Legislature. The requirements to get a proposed law or amendment before the people under this amendment are that the names of tight per cent of the voters be obtained to a petition for such a law, then this petition and a copy of the bill must be liled with the Secretary of State before the election at which it is to be voted upon. Ry this means the people have a voice regardless of the Legislature, and the supporters of the amendment bolieve (hat it gives them a more liberal form of government. Oregonian. William Jennings Bryan has included Germany iu his foreign trhvels, but Emperor William sent his regrets that he was unable to meet him ou account of "domestic- Christmas festivities." Iu other words, der Kaiser was having h good time and didn't wish to disouss a "dry" subject like the money ques tion. Whereupon Mr. Bryan immedi ately kicked tho German soil from bis feet and set sail for home on the steamer Celtio, thus emphasizing his displeasure over the imperial turn down by choosing a vessel with on Irish flavor for the homeward trip. A cold wave a few days ago caiessed the blessed east from Nebraska to New Hampshire, and as far south as Ala bama.

If you happen to have a battleship, now is the time to sell. The Kansas City Star says Grover Cleveland is today "the most illustrious and the most potential Democrat in the republic." We presume that's abo&t the size of it. The Democratic partv is in a most deplorable coudition. It is rumored that Reed Smoot, the Mormon United States Senator from Utah, will resign rather than submit to an investigation of his religious views and domestic lite.

The Albany Herald has treated itself to a new typesetting machine a lino typeand is preparing to line up with the leading newspapers of the state. If the people of Albany and Linu county fail to show their appreciation of this bit of enterprise they deserve about five years on a straight diet of Bryan's Commoner. The (300 tax exemption bill passed at the recent session of the Oregon Legis lature did not carry an emergency clause and will not take effect until af ter th next assessment Is made. Cer tain legal lights bold that the exemption law is unconstitutional, anyhow, aud it would be well to have that question settled before the law takes effect. A poor man, or one ia average finan cial condition, has much to be thankful for. He may eveu exeroise the Ameri can privilege of falling down und breaking a leg without the risk of hav ing bis picture displayed in some enter prising daily newspaper. But it's dif ferent witlr millionaires, who are par aded like prize-winners at a fat-stock show. An intelligent head writer of the Oregonian credits Oregon with less than eight miles of new railroad track laid in 1903, but the article on the sub ject places the increase for the year at 30.15. Busy persons who read only the headlines of the dailies are liable to acquire a load of information that isn't all information. The moral seems to be: Don't get busy. Hon. Frauk Davey of Marlon, who was temporarily lost, was found out in eastern Oregon, sick abed. A con scienceless editor over there accuses Frauk of being on a long and animated lonesome. Of course, none of the gen tleman's friends believe the yarn. Only 98 per cent of the members of the Legislature have the booze habit, and all In this list have been accounted for.
