-tr-7- FATE -OF THEiNOiAN.--1 -,
A Journal staff correspondent, writing
. recently from Pendleton, in treating; of
cond It tons hpon the Umal Ula Indian -
er vat ion, said:
1 . , ''Gardening is more useful to an Indian
v than grammar, breadmakihg than botany,
' and eewlng will do more toward making
', a home tbaa music or some almllaf'ac
, eompllshment," ' y
Bat what la the future of those In
dlans out there upon that reserve? Is
there anything but eventual extinction?
:" Or are there hopes that the various ef-
forts of the Government will result In
- evolving a civilisation that will preserve
Of the permanent Batlon?
''There can be but one answer and that
to, "No," Excellent schools are raaln
; tamed on the reserve, under the brightest
Instructors that are to be found in the
service ttl the Government Intelligent
work is done; and no adverse criticism
could be passed any manner. This The
- journal Jkxf wa.
, Yethere Is to be nothing but extinc
tion of that race of Indians that once
; reamed the Oregon plains, climbed the
mountains And hunted where now the
whites have complete possession.
Down In Indian Territory there Is In
. part a retention of the. racial character
istics of the tribes that are kept there.
' True. But In that territory there are
'manyinore Indians, enough perhaps te
form a social body with strength to re-
. tain their Individualities. And even It Is
te be doubted that those- Indian Territory
natives will for very long preserve their
. .. racial traits, arid be able to exist as they
re with the oustoms and limitations of
the whites engrafted upon them.
Certainly, up there on the Umatilla re
serve the case Is hopeless. The number is
too small. The inevitable result will be
that the comparatively few aborigines
there will be vitiated by tbe vices and not
be able to attain the virtues of the
mhltea, and hence go the way of antho
logicU destruction. The descendants of
'. the famous Warriors who have made the
page of Northwest history Interesting and
fascinating will soon lose their identity,
and, beneath the burden of sin imposed
by contact with the , white people, will
steadily and not slowly go down to ex
tinction. There Is a very Birnple solution of the
Whole trust business. If you don't want
trusts, don't vote with the party of the
trusts.

(USES OF A SPECIAL SESSION:
The necessity for a special session of
the Legislature has been more or less
discussed, particularly in respect to the
matter oi fixing salaries of the state of-fleers-elect
before they take office and the
enactment of laws to make effective the
, Initiative and referendum amendment to
s ths Constitution.
TA to the first question, it would seem
that the Constitution is about as plain
and mandatory In Its declarations as any
act ot the Legislature could be, and as
to thei second It could very well wait un-
. , til the regular session. There are mat-
: i ttrs, however, of great Importance to the
city and county, and in which the whole
tato is interested, that might very well
be" ths subject of a special session, if one
; Is. called,
.Tn ws of a 10-day session would not
be to exceed' 110,009 or .12,000, but if the
lm wer r'sbtly and conscientiously put
to us SO times Its cost would be saved.
At the regluar session a Senator la to
be elected, with ail that it implies. To
tb paopl of this stats, the bare state
i tasat tends a shudder down their spines,
y It is. therefore, Important that any and
ail questions "and appropriations which
might become Involved In this contest be
lllmlnated. If possible. We are going
i ask front tbe state an appropriation
m Some form for tbe Lewis and Clark
Fair, and we are also going to ask au
Ihortty to levy special taxes in this
-Kmnty, As the ralr is really a state
enterprise, everyone is Interested in 4iie4
i
questions, and, in our judgment, this in
Itself would Justify the calling of an e
tra session. The president of the Senate
and the speaker of the House are all
powerful in naming committees. Through
committees the -work of legislation is
done. How would the people here enjpy
the spectacle of having all appropriations
for the Pair held Up unless our delegation
voted for sorns particular person for
SenatorT The innocent reader may say,
Impossible; but we will venture to pre
dict that there have been more votes in
fluenced In the choice of Senator through
appropriations for particular places or
purposes than in ail other ways put to
gether. Again, our county pays a little over 31
per cent of all the state taxes. At a
regulat session it Is a certainty that no
appropriation will be made except by vot
ing large sums of money to other sections
for useless purposes or In amounts in ex
cess of what otherwise would have been
asked.' At a special session this would be
impossible, and the saving would run into
the thousands.
Then, too, the new charter should go
into operation on the first of the year.
The fiscal year of the city and the calen
dar year should be the same. If a spe
cial session were called for October, all
old business under the present charter
could be cleared up and a clean table and
new broom go into use on January first.
On thewhole, The Journal believes that a
special session called to consider the
above questions would result in good to
the whole state. It. would certainly re
move from the field the possibility of
making either the Fair or the charter
a shuttle-cock in the hands of rival Sen
atorial ' aspirants, and , leave the coast
clear for the usual business of a regular
session.

THE VALUE OF AM' IDEA.
Portland and Puget Sound cities handle
annually millions of bushels of wtiea-t
grown upon lands that but a few yearn
agd were regarded us worthless, except
ing, for the uses of the stockgrower. Less
than one generation ago this was the be
lief of the majority of people with ref
erence to the now wonderfully produc
tive area in the Inland Kmplre of Ore
gon and Washington.
In Walla Walla lives a physician. Dr.
N. G. Blalock, skilled In the science of
medlfne, and also anxious for the bet
terment of the region In which he lives.
He has been ever enterprising anil lin
contributed vastly to the development ot
tbe country of which mention has bten
made here the Inland Umpire. For It
was he who conceived the idea that the
large stretches of land!hat were devoted
only td" the culture of livestock could b
made to yield generous , jj.intlties ot
breadstuffs.
He experimented near the City of Wnlla
Walla in Washington and across the line
In Oregon, and demonstrated limt w hent
and other grains could be grown, with
out Irrigation. This was about 2i year.-
ago. Today railroads prosper from the
traffic created on the farms of that set-
tlon; men and women secure comfort and
accumulate wealth from euguglng In ag
riculture, and towns are growing to size
and strength from the business and com
meree that comes from the Idea that was
Implanted In the mind of the Wdlla Walla
physician, and which he proceeded to give
to the world in the form of proven truth.
Men have their memory honored by the
erection of monuments. Others build
universities, and still others endow hos
pitals and libraries. The man to whom
this Is intended to give deserved credit
for valuable work for his day and gene
ration, has In the golden flood of gruin
and the smiling, prosperous valleys and
the contented, comfortable homes of the
Inland Empire such a monument as wlil
be always the highest honor to his mem
ory.
The Chinese Emperor warns the Gover
nors of his provinces to avoid friction
with the people in raising the indemnity
money. He should try the tariff and in
ternal revenue plan. Some wise French
man remarked mat tne tarin tax was
the best ever Invented, for by It the
greatest amount of feathers could be
c-athered with the least amount of
squawking.
Oliver W. Holmes is made a member of
the United States Supreme Court at' the
age of 61 years, and our Army officers
are retired at 65 years. It. seems that a
man's mind is supposed to work all right
for a longer period If he sits on a bench
especially if it is the Supreme bench.
Haima thinks labor troubles should be
settled by an appeal to the "head and
the hjajtL" The trouble is the trusts
have no heart, end the appeal to their
heads is what has already been tried.

EXTRAVAGANCES Or MEN.
I wonder if men realise how utterly
absurd are some of the axtravagances of
which they are guilty every day of their
lives. Sometimes I wonder If they are
not much more selfish than are womn.
Here is an instance that pertinently il
lustrates what I mean. The other day,
in company with a. friend, I called upon
a professional man of this city who Is of
aveiage generosity, and all In all a good
fulluw. He is not to be classed as stingy
belli; rather inclined to extravagance, as
most young fellows are.
HE COULDN'T jfcFFORL) IT.
The object of the visit was to ask him
to subscribe $1 toward a fund we were
raising for ths assistance of a worthy
young woman who very much needed
help. We. hud been asking for SI contri
butions, and had secured a response in
most cases. We told the professional man
of the circumstances of the young wo
man, and laid down before him the paper
which bore the names of, several dozen
people.
"Really, now" said he, "I cannot af
ford to give you anything today. I'm
rather short, and yet 1 am sorry, for I
would like to help."
JUS INCONSISTENCY.
We chatted tor a few moments, finally
arising at the Invitation of the profes
sional man, und pusslng down stairs to a
cigar Kiand, where ha asked us to have
smoke with him. There were three
ot us. ,i we went along the street to the
;ar stand he espied three other "fellows
lie knew, and; Invited them to go with
uu. This made ttie party number six.
At tiic counter of Che stand were two
others; and the proprietor of the store

THE BEGINNINGS OF A STATE:
Oklahoma Is one of the Ihres terrl
tories that applied to Coneress at Its last
cession for admlsslofhas states. That
Oklahoma Is to have V permanent and
prosperous population, well fitted for the
duties of citizenship and successfully ac
tive in the creation of National wealth.
Is evidenced by the census bulletin on
agriculture la that territory. Just pub
lished. With an area greater than that
of Indiana, a rich soil In the valleys,
needing no aUiflclal aid save ordinary
cultivation, and rolling uplands requiring
only Irrigation to make them abundant
ly productive for streams are numerous
and well distributed with mineral wealth
in the mountains and an enterprising
population drawn from the older states,
Oklahoma has everything needed for the
creation of a commonwealth that shall
rank among the first in wealth and en
lightenment. In 1900 there were more than seven
times as many farms In tins territory as
there were 10 years before and almost
10 times as great an area devoted to ag
riculture. The- value of farm property
had Increased from 112.221,020 to $185,343,
818; of land improvemnts, buildings, etc.,
from $8, 581,170 to $123,M1.23o; of livestock,'
from $3,206,270 to $54,829,568, and of farm
products frm 1440,875 to $45,447,744. This
is a story of wealth-creation In the brief
space of 10 years that Is simply marvel
ous. It carries one back to the early
development of the West and more than
one state that is proud of Its advance
cannot point to so remarkable a record.
The area of the territory In acres is
24,851,20", of which about 63 per cent Is
included In farms. The acreage desig
nated as' set aside for. agricultural pur
poses has by no means reached the De
gree of cultivation to which the farmers
of the older states are accustomed. When
the uplands are Irrigated and farmed as
the valleys are and when the valleys are
cultivated as the. lands of the nearby
states of Kansas and Missouri are, Okla
homa will have few superiors Indeed as
an agricultural commonwealth. Min

FROM OTHER VIEWPOINTS.
THE RIGHT TO WORK.
There should be- no violent strikes. If
no violence were threatened or prac-
niced.-'1-here'T.,ra be no affptt'catldnS'
for Injunctions. The right of every
man to work or not to work should be
acknowledged. There is no mare right
in any organization to prevent a man
from working if he wants to work than
there is in a combination of capitalists
to compel a man to work when he does
not want to work. One form of slavery
is as complete as the other. Chicago
Chronicle.
JUDICIAL TYRANNY.
The tyrannical Judge, may be quite
sincere in his belief that he Is aiming
at good ends when he plays the despot,
but excellence of motive does not Justi
fy violation of the fundamental princi
ples of ordered liberty. Every well
intentioned Judge who resorts reckless
ly to the writ of injunction sets a
precedent which keeps in countenance
the judicial rogue who prostitutes the
power of the bench to the service of
capital when It finds itself in conflict
with labor. New York American.
THE TRI'STS
The defense of trusts, on the as
sumption that they are necewary to
the existence of business, to the pro
motion of industry, is wholly illogical.
There Is widesprend complaint f
these combinations because they are
doing incalculable harm In various
ways. That the popular feeling against
the trusts in all parts of the country
Is very strong there is abundant evi
dence. This opposition .Is not confined
to those who merely cry out againsjt
unpleasant conditions, without stop
ping to inquire carefully who Is re
sponsible for them. It is fully shared
by the most careful students of eco
nomic law and tendencies. Louisville
Courier-Journal.
SCIENCE AND INVENTION.
There has never yet, been a genuine
discovery that has not been Improved
and developed beyond the dreams of
the discoverer. The mechanical won
ders we see about ns today will seem
as crude to the men of the far future
as tne nrst locomotive .seems to us.
The scientists are the scouts on the
frontier of progress; behind them come
the inventors, as the first settlers came
to the prairies, and when the new
ground is thoroughly explored comes
the mass of mankind to make a new
starting point for the never-ending
march of progress. Chicago American.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
- .THE NEW AMENDMENT. .
Td the Edltorj-What has been called the
initiative apd referendum amendment to
our BfWconstltutlon Is the first and only
amendment to that instrument that the
people have adopted. This amendment
was pawed., with littte discussion, and
few, If any, of our voters are sure that
they know what it means and the limits
of its influence. I am one that does not
know 'Just what effect it has on the Con
stitution adopted by our pioneer fathers.
Permit me to draw attention to this new
article that has been grafted upon qur
organic lfcw. (
A part qt this amendment is as follows:
'"The legislative authority of the state
- V , , . . . ....
sunn ue vesica n a legislative Assemoiy,
consisting of a Seriate and House of Rep
resentatives, but the people reserve to
themselves power to propose laws and
amendments to the Constitution and to
enact or reject the same at the polls. In
dependent of the Legislative Assembly,
and also resenve power at their own op
tion to approve or reject at the polls any
act of the Legislative Assembly," etc,
etc.
This amendment! provides that the Gov
ernor shall not have the power to veto
any measure referred to the people, and
the style of all bills shall hereafter be
"Be It enacted by the people of the StAte
of Oregon." Further on it provides that
"Any measure referred to the people
shall take effect and become the law
when It is approved by a majority of the
votes cast thereon, and not otherwise."
Several things are plain from this
amendment: (1) The people can propose
and adopt a measure without the con
sent of the Legislative Assembly. (2) Af
ter the Legislative Assembly has passed
a measure and It has been approved by
the Governor, It can be referred to the
people without theconsent of the Legisla
tive Assembly or the Governor, and. If
a majority votes against It, it is annulled.
The petitions for the referendum must
be filed with the Secretary of State not
later than 90 days after the adjournment
of tho Legislative Assembly that passed
the bill upon which the referendum Is de
sired. The referendum can be ordered by
the Lt-glslatlve Assemblv prj can ,be
"requlrl'a'y at petition, signed by Ave per
cent of the legal voters of the state.
It seems to me that a bill may be passed
by the Legislative Assembly and be ap
proved by the Governor and be in force
and subsequently be defeated by a ref
erendum, and this referendum may be
had nearly two years after the bill takes
effect.
It is evident that many "of the best,
laid schemes of mice and men" may .be,
punctured by the. referendum. Bills that
go through the Legislature by force of
a combination of many interests may fall
by the referendum. The'you tickle me
and I'll tickle yon" merood of getting
things passed Is likely to be scotched by
this new method of. making and unmak
ing things. Appropriation bills for the
state and for state Institutions, such as
the State University, Agricultural College.
Normal Schools and the like are liable
to meet with disaster. If they are tod
large. Appropriations for salaries of
state officials may be referred and de
feated, etc., etc.
It may make It hard sledding for many
"grafters" that otherwise would go
through. It will cause uneasiness among
the lobby. The people can, without the
consent of the Legislative Assembly, en
act a law governing the charges by rail
roads for freight and passengers.
In fact, this amendment makes Oregon
a democracy and puts the people "In,
the saddle." The people can make and de
feat lawat their will. The Legislative
Assembly becomes a sort) of "side show,"
while th- people are the "circus." The
"ring" will not be as effective as of
vore. because the work of tho Legislative
Assembly is not final. The people are the
final court. They can take charge of the
ship of state and guide it, without revolu
tion. The revoltulon was effected when
this nmendment was adopted.
But a question has been raised as to
the effect of this amendment on the other
parts of the Constitution. It provides that
a bill that has been proposed and adopt
ed by a vote of the people" shall take
effect and become the law."
Let us suppose that a bill which Is
"contrary to other parts of the Constitu
tion should be enacted by the people,
would our Supreme Court have the right
to decide that It was unconstitutional 7 I
am inclined to say that the court would
no decide, but I think that there Is room
for an argument on the other side or
the question. The people can amend the
Constitution, und they have done so by
reserving to themselves what seems to
be almost unlimited power of legislation,
and when they enact a measure accord
ing to the terms of this amendment
there are some grounds to argue that
the other provisions of the Constitution
do not apply to it, because it emanates
from tho power that made the Constitu
tion. Tho power that made the Constitu
tion can unmake it. The people have de
clared by thla amendment to the Consti
tution that a measure, so adopted by
the people, shall take effect and be the
law, and this declaration Is 40 years later
than the other provisions of the Consti
tution. '
It can be plausibly argued that legisla
tion by the people, by the Initiative and
referendum, process, Is not subject to
the limitation contained In the other
parts of the Constitution. Of course the
Legislative Assembly would still be bound
by the other parts of the Constitution, if
the point suggested as to legislation by
the people should be found to possess
sofethlng substantial. But this point may
be "Utughed out of court."
When the Legislature meets there Is
likely to be some effort , made to nullify
this amendment by refusing to enact any
measure to carry it into effept, but it is
hardly probable that that body will have
the nerve to throw, anything in the way
of this amendment so soon aher Its' pas.
