T
APOSTLES OP IXERTIA.
A NUMBER of - eastern papers
' have commented rather caus
tically upon the Oregon meth
. of Insuring the election of
United Elates senators by direct vote
of. the people, and also upon its In
itiative and referendum, by which
the people can legislate directly for
themselves.',' Some of' these eastern
t npers, aa Indeed the Portland morn-i-:g
paper does, sneer and scoff at
ILete features of Oregon's govern-
HB movement inaugurated by
the people of the Sluslaw re
gion. In the western end of
Lane county, for the purpose
of improving the Sluslaw harbor,
since the government gives no as
surance of carrying on that work,
is one worthy of wide notice' and
commendation. It may not prove
practicable. 'but It at least shows a
very gratifying spirit enterprise
among the people of that isolated re
gion. ' ., .,'' ;
For many years efforts- have been
made to Induce the government to
Improve Sluslaw harbor so that lum
ber schooners could load there and
have 6afe egress,- but little has been
accomplished, and the people have
about realized that they cannot de
pend on Uncle Bam to help them,
but must help themselves. And by
the way, while this does not ex
cuse the neglect of the government,
Lacn movements are wise and nec
essary. The people of each state,
region, locality, must help them
selves. Portland has done this. Til
lamook has done It. the state has
done it in the matters of the port
age roaa and the appropriation for
the Willamette locks; and we must
do it, though not lessening our de
mands upon the government, more
and - more. Self-help pays double
dividends. It increases self-respect
and consciousness of power.
