THE Los Angeles Times contin ues to wall over the sad and I desperate condition of Oregon ..- because the people are tak Ing a hand in politics ant have smasnea some macmnes. hrom tne Portland morning paper and some cltlsen of this state the Times has . learned that the new features of . governmental machinery In Oregon the primary law and the initia tive and referendum "were tricked :.pon the people of Oregon." The - Sorrowfully sympathetic Times says Tthe people were in utter Ignorance of the rlclous tendency of the new fangled provisions" and It is sur prised that the press of the state did not enlighten the people as to . the terrible nature of these new - features. That they were adopted, ' the Los Angeles paper asserts, "was i the "worst kind of politics and the worst kind of cltisenship." This ia "bad, surely, If true, and "the result," says the Times, "is that all party organizations are destroyed and a mob democracy takes the .place of representative government." The misinformation of the Times be comes grotesque when it goes on to ( say that Oregon Is suffering busi ness depression on account of these new laws and that people are afraid - - to invest here. ' To confute this latter aBBertlon ;., we- need only point to the definite location here lately of a $4,000,000 packing plant. And real estate transactions, ' bank clearings, new - buildings and constant, vigorous growth completely disprove the Rimes' statement Portland suffered f a zar Jess "depression" last rail and v since than Los Angeles did. ' As for the rest, the people knew pretty well' what " they were about when they adopted these new fea tures, and would adopt them over v. ; again today if necessary. And they - are as Intelligent people as those of any state. TheVe was no trickery about, their adoption., . The Republi can party yielded to irresistible pop ular pressure. '. Yes, party organizations are some what broken up, and a mighty good thing It is for Oregon. The "poll tics" of such a movement was bad for some political bosses, but pretty i good, thank .you, for the people. But even far worse than our boss- .lam was, Is that "of Herrin in Call- "fornla, who absolutely rules the state, owns senators and congress , ' men, legislatures and whatnot. If that state would adopt these meas- . nres as we believe it " will before long Boss Herrin's oc cupation would be gone, and the , people of that great and glorious commonwealth would be free.

Curiously, a large propor tion of the opposition to it comes from ' the ' country merchants and other country people, but it is ex actly these people, if they live along ' rural delivery route, who will get 1 the whole benefit of the proposed v law. It will not serve city people to " any appreciable extent, nor country people who live remote from rural , delivery routes, but as the rural de livery system is constantly being ex tended, the number of people to be benefited by the parcels post will increase,. " 7 Packages from one pound to If pounds are to bo carried at the rate of 5 cents for the first and 2 cents ... lor each additional pound. Thus an "11-pound parcel will cost 25 cents, rate athply sufficient for the short , haul, on a rural carrier's wagon. ( Smaller packages are to be carried at a cent 4or the first two ounces, an ' extra" cent tor the next two, 3 cents lor .weights between four and eight ounces, cents between eight and 12. and 6, cents between 12 ounm . n pound. ;,, For the special pro tection of the country merchant it is provided that no parcel shall be ac cepted from any dealer or any agent of a dealer whose regular place of : business Is not on- a rural delivery route. , : , .. .

It would seem that this was pretty well demonstrated in the Burkhart incident. And per haps It should have been discovered without that. The degree of his crime is to be determined in the regular way, and so we have nothing to say as to that. But It Is to be remembered that the dead man, though It may be found that his killing was entirely inexcusable, had a reputation as a troublesome and in some respects a bad man. This may possibly serve as a mitigating excuse for a policeman who has evi dently been too handy with his gun. Possibly the imprisoned police man is entitled to no sympathy, but surely his wife and young children are. His crime, his faults, are not theirs. In such a relationship the innocent have to suffer with the guilty, but a charitable, Christian community should do what It reason ably can to alleviate the distress of the Innocent sufferers.

E' VERYTHINQ new In politics or sOClology4"W methods of ' gov ernment, every change, every plan or project to better con ditions or benefit the. masses of the people, every movement toward greater power and direct responsi bility for them, every struggle to get out of or to broaden and improve the governmental ruts in which we have ,been running everything of this sort, we are told ln certain quarters, is useless, Is nonsense, is demagogy, claptrap, delusion, polit ical charlatanry, the quackery of dreamers or the lures of knavery; in a word, is impossible. Everything that can be known or done was known and done long ago. Everything that will work has al ready been put into operation. There Is no knowledge, or device, or wis dom, but was utilized by our fathers and handed down to us, finished, suitable for all time to come. They made and left everything ab solutely perfect; to change or try to Improve It Is to mar if not to destroy. The only thing to do safely or In telligently Is to stand pat on things aa they have been and are. Have political leaders deluded the people by sham patriotism and false pre tenses? So they always Inevitably will. Do the people's representa tives betray and swindle and mis represent them? There Is no help for It, nor any reform of It. Do the corporations enrich themselves by plundering the people and to a large extent run the government? Let them alone, lest a worse ihlng hap pen to the people. Do the people essay to make or unmake a law occasionally to suit themselves? They should drop such folly. This Is not -their business. They can only make a botch of It. The senate having, become a high chamber of misrepresentation, seats being bought at the hands of venal legislatures, let tfee people forbear trying to elect the senators thm- selves directly. Such temerity on I their part is unprecedented, unCon whole world. It is a circumstance to give pause to the owner of Oregon land. Is it an opportunity to be al lowed to pass unseized?

And ot young reporters who were not born wh-n they were distributed as pre miums or supplements to paid-up sub scribers. F. J. PARKER. Edmond F. Nobl's Birthday. Edmond F. Noel, who recently suc- It ia suspected that of Mississippi, was born in Holme county, mat state. March 4, 1SE6. His iamer was rendered DUnd as the result of a wound encountered ln the civil war and young Noel was left as the main support of the family. Until he was 21 years old he worked on a farm. He then went to Lexington, Kentucky, and studied law with an uncle. In 1877 he was admitted to the bar and a,t once be gan the practice of his profession In his home county. In 1881, at the age of 26, he was elected to the legislature. From 1887 to 3 8!1 he served as district at torney. Upon the expiration of his term as district attorney Mr. Noel resumed his law practice, and did not aRain en ter public life until 1S9B, In which yeaf he was elected to the Louisiana senate. He continued a member of the senate for eight years, and durlne that time he framed many of the most important laws now on Mississipprs statute books. He contested the governorship with Mr. Vardaman In 190S, tout did not succeed In Ms ambition to win the high office until four years later. as the noonday sun. Though Misspuri otherwise went Republican four years ago, electing a Democratic, legislature and giving a majority for Roosevelt, it elected Folk governor, and he has "made good."V Missouri is not at all likely to go Republican this year, though wlth'Taft as the candidate it may be rather close. But whatever else Missouri tioes, it shoujd not fail to Can't Evade the Question. From the woo.dburn Independent, (Rep.) It Is useless to evade the real ques tion. The convention promoters will state that the convention is to kill off Statement No. 1 and Governor Chamber lain, hut all know that Marion county Republican voters would have been more likely to select memDers or tne legisla ture, as before, who have not signed this statement, nut now tney will sun port Statement No. 1 candidates In order to protect tneir aireet primary prenv gative.

Today, as ln times gone by. the politicians could read ily control tne state nnaer tne conven tlon system, but under the direct pri mary it Is an entirely different nrooo si tlon hence the opposition of the poli ticians at the present time to statement No. 1, and other features or the law. The Machine Mission. From the Echo Register. Down ln Portland they have a political machine all bolted up and ready to start Its prlclpal mission lust now Is to bluff, bully or trick people into having auc tion sales of United States senators at Salemnext winter. It Is up to the Lin coln Republicans, the real, independent and honest rank and file, to tie that machine up tight with a few honest, well directed votes. Who They Are. From the Haines Record. It Is apparent that those who are op posing Statement No..l are disgruntled folltlcians and those who realise that he dav is nast when tbey can obtain political favors from the people, but are compelled to cast their lot with ma chine rule. i Mothers and Mother Love. E talk about mother love as If It were one of the strongest forces pulling for righteousness In the world, and in the main we speak truly. There are some phases of mother love. however, which have a tendency to pull the other way. This Is one of them.

She leaves her hus band, the sick boy and three other chil dren. There Is a tremendous power ln mother love, and it Is like casting peb bles at stone walls to say that it is sometimes overdone. Yet just such In stances as this demonstrate the fact that mothers are, after all. fallible. It is not love alone that causes a mother to perfotm such feats as that of the minister's wife there is mingled with it the pride of believing that no one- else on earth can do our own work as we can do it, that we are invaluable, and a stubbornness of Will that prods us on to do our Utmost, regardless of consequences. That mother would have shown her love more convincingly ir ginning to call gleefully for the old nannies. Who would not live in south ern Oregon?

A MILESTONE IN HISTORY I La Grande- will have a most beautiful display of Grand Ronde's products at its depot all summer, and travelers will conclude there is something doing 'round about. And La Grande is reap ing the benefit of its enterprise. "The virtually unanimous ratification by the legislature of the popular choice of Mr. Mulkey and Mr. Bourne for United States senators marks an epoch in the political history of Oregon. It is not likely that the precedent thus firmly established will be broken hereafter. The time of the legislature will henceforth be devoted to the business of the state; its only concern with the election of sen ators will be to fulfill the constitutional form by ratification of an antecedent popular choice. ... "Seldom has a body of public men given" a finer demonstration of loyalty to American principles than, the Oregon legislature gave in ratifying promptly and decisively the popular election of Senators Mulkey. , and Journe. -Hy doing this they have acknowledged the fundamental truth upon which our institutions rest, namely: that all J power ultimately resides in the people, and that whenever the peo- X pie choose to exercise this power directly it is their right to do so. Our legislators have also acknowledged, with .noble fidelity to fact X and reason, that, high as their duties may be, they are but the serv- ants and the agents of the people, and lhat the, popular mandates expressed under the forms of law are of binding obligation upon all i public officials. We may therefore say without undue insistence Z upon its importance, that the ratification by. the Oregon legislature of the popular choice of our senators marks an epoch in the develop- J ment of free institutions."
