PRINCIPLE t 75- ; f ,. -.rij The recall is a principle, fit Is not a policy, Recognixng it as a J principle its misuse Is a perversion 'of government. - It must he as sumed, that the people adapted, the recall In good faith and for a def inite purpose. That Its use by dis appointed office holders and ma licious politicians was no part of the original purpose is apparent to any student of government. 'The present recall movement cannot have back of it any purpose that is patriotic or for the public wel fare. ;x Governor Pierce has not tteen in office long enough to make values Ion his administra tion. The. worst that can be said Is that some of his friends have been disappointed. This in all fairness cannot be made a basis for- recall, j : '- " Two, things will be accomplished if the recall goes through. Gover nor Pierce, will be re-elected and will he the strongest man' in Ore gon. The recall will be disgraced and , the people angered. Prom the former will follow a rebuke of the republican party at a time when the country may need our electoral vote to putlhe republi can candidate across. Short-sightedness on the part of certain re publican ' politicians who lend themselves to this effort for sor did reasons cannot be repudiated in time to save the state an elec toral ticket; in Oregon next year. There will follow out of the sec ond a disappointment on the 'part of those ' who' i feel . that there should be some hold upon derelict public officials. ; This will bring the recalling to disrepute. There are those who will favor a recall for the purpose of doing this very thing. I Never in the history of the state has there been such a predica ment It is time for patriotic men to serve notice on the tricky poli ticians who think they are under cover that the light will be ruth lessly turned on and the perfidy exposed. It Is no trifling matter to tool with the suffrages of the people, to traffic In the franchise. TOYS PUT ASIDE AS SCHOOL OPKXIXQ IN , CITY APPROACHES t"Th littiA tnv flop is covered wltn dast 1 Yet sturdy and staunch be stands. -And the little toy soldier is red with rust " .. J :vy I t ; And his musket moulds in his . hand .': . : ' Our little Boy Blue Is too busy nowadays to play with the toys he once found so Irrestible. Why? Because in two weeks more he will be back at, his little desk, writing notes to . the little red haired girl across the aisle ana learning that there are two e's and two a's in separate. Just now his little curly head Is filled with visions of the super state he will : persuade : daddy to purchase and : the marvelous me chanical pencil with a whole box. of leads that he may he able to secure by Saving up his ice-cream money. Besides, he has been push ing his round little snub i nose hard up against the glass of the bookstores and he has seen pretty green aritnmetics ana yeiiow- brown readers that he hopes to be ab!e,to carry to school under his arm on the first day. ' And our Big Boy Blue Is neg lecting his canoe and his swim ming suit, for lately he has been wondering if the new girl across the street, who will be a Junior this year too when the high school opens, prefers brown suits or blue ones. He has his eye on a peach of a one that he saw In a window the other day, and he wants , his mother to look at It the next time she goes by. ' i Then, too, he is worried oyer whether he shall be a lawyer or an automobile dealer when he graduates, since he must choose his course accordingly for why should a rising automobile dealer need a third year of Latin.? f No wonder the little toy dog is getting dusty and the little toy soldier is showing signs of losing his paint. The men folk are too busy, to bother, with trifles like those Just now! 1 ; RISING PRICES Reports in 21 cities show that food prices have Increased on an average of 8 per cent the past year and that the average Increase since 1913 has been 55 per cent. Do you know' what this5 means? It means that food manipulators are getting in their work. Certain ly the farmers have not been the beneficiaries ot this price increase. They have been the victims. ; Some of these days the criminal Laws will be applied to the price manipulators. Then the men who profit on the necessities of the peo ple will be hailed into court sad punished. ? V 1 ' ; 'f- ,i i ' There Is not the slightest excuse for price Inflation now. The local dealers are not the offenders, they come in close contact with " the public and would keep prices down Ifl they could. They are the yic- tltns of men higher up who fatten by their ability to. connive and combine with other public enemies and thus raise prices. 1 By all the trda BiceL -hould be falling. That they are not is be cause the bloodsuckers, the men who neither toil nor spin, levy trib cte as -odious but. as exacting as tfiat levied by any other highway, xaan. v' ' - 1 i ' ' f ;: ..When public sentiment focuses on the real " of fenders something wlO be. doing. Men cannot con tintie to levy tribute in this way and! get away with it, f ! j POLITICIANS AND PUBLIC SEX- , TIMENT. Tbiere Is a good "deal of com plalnt? always about the 'kind of government the , politicians give the conntry. As a matter of fact the i . government is' Just what the people lauthbrize. . ; Any time the people irant a chaaige.they make it. Thii thing called public sent ment is awculiar. It does not work by any rule but it functions all the while, pt Just gets in the air. Something is proposed, it either dies then, and there or it takes wings. 1 No man can, tell how strong It will be' If the people like it, flt sweejis the country. These disturbances are what take the Joy otut of ghe lives of poli ticians. They must guess, they cannot influence.,' " If they happen to guess rifcht thiey win, if wrong, they lose. The fplaln fact is that such government as Is dictated ,by the politicians is given In a frantic effort to give thp people what they wantT The lie -ot the politician is at stake lwa:rs and he sells it as dearly as poswlble.

JfcMtaaunn 1 I? milk, The latest photograph ot the George's smal. grandson REl'RESEXTATIVE CiOVERX- No term is more abused ' than the subject of this brief editorial.: In its purity It means that the government ; is representative' of the people, that it Is their agent. All they have to do is to desire a thing and if they desire It strong enough it will come to pass. That means If 1 they pift ; their desires into expression through the ballot box the representatives of govern ment will do their bidding. The perversion of this is that so many special interests feel . that ' their peculiar Isms will be represented.. While some of the people sleep the 'men who know exactly 1 what they-Vant are not . sleeping, they are eooklng up a dish for the pub lic that will not be palatable. Under representative government; these Ideas and Isms are engraft ed into the body politic and it does not always mean good health. Sometimes It ) means a loatbesome disease. Our repre-J sentative government is an elastic Instrument sometimes it is very, seriously twisted. : GET THE PACTS " We do not know the politics of the men appointed . to hunt out the cause of the penlteniary fire but the fact that they were design nated by office rather than flams would indicate that the governor, did not know either. . What U wanted is a full investigation.' The administration, wants to know the facts an dthere is no-- desire to have anything concealed. 1 If the buildings were set on fire a knowledge: of the fact will hep prevent future fires. If the "fira Vaa caused by spontaneous com bustion, then the institution can be cleaned up so that such fire will be impossible in the future. It is a time when nobody wants anything covered, when everybody wants the facts it they can be al located. ' The Dalles Chronicle is another paperithat does not favor the re call. When the fight gets on in earnest the high grade ' papers will nearly all be lined up against the recall. This does not mean that Governor. Pierce is -.popular with the press, he is not. but it does mean that the newspapers ot Oregon are big -enough to Insist upon a square deal.
