It ha confidence in the ability and Integrity of Judge Lowell and It knows that the eleva tion to the United Slates senate will not remove him one lota from the common people nor take away one lota of his plain, democratlo spirit, but will give him wider scope and greater opportunity to execute the noble principles which actuate his conduct In the private walks of life. The East Oregonlan does not ask as to his politics, but It asks simply as to his character and fitness. He Is on eastern Oregon man. This section of the state has not been represented in the United States senate since James H. Slater retired in 1SS5. It Is time Portland and western Oregon yielded some part of the tights of citizenship to eastern Oregon. This Is the opportunity and this Is the man. Judge Lowell Is the candidate of the common people and as such will receive the support of the East Ore gonlan until the last ballot Is counted. COMMERCIAL SEI.FIS 1 1 X ESS. LOWELL FOR THE SENATE. The East Oregonlan takes a delight in announcing the candidacy of Judge Stephen A. Lowell of this city for the United States senate. This Is one of the best news items ever published In an eastern Oregon county. Judge Lowell Is an eastern Oregon man, a clean, upright, straightfor ward, able, conscientious, scholarly r man, and as such will be a credit to Orezon In th? United rtas senate. He Is a force wherever he Is, and al ways a force for the best. He stands for the common people. He Is ap proachable, democratic, unostenta tious and withal highly capable. The East Oregonlan must make an effort to confine its praise of Judge Lowell within the bounds of moderation, for tt Is an admirer of him personally and an admirer of that type of fearless manhood and may be given to ex travagant expressions In mentioning such men. But the opportunity of eastern Oregon Is at hand now. If any man In eastern Oregon can be elected to the United States senate at the prl mary nominating election. Judge Lowell Is that man. He fully repre sents the sterling citizenship of this state, Is keenly awake to Its utmost need, Is capable of presenting the claims of the state before congress, and I In touch with the sentiment of the common man. He mingles with the masses. He knows their wantB and their needs. He mingles with them as a fellow citi zen, advises and discusses public questions with them and Is informed on public sentiment In Oregon and especially In eastern Oregon perhaps as closely as It Is possible for a public man to become. And above all he stands for public and private honor and decency. The East Oregonlan will take pleasure In supporting Judge Lowell In every possible legitimate way. It will advocate his election because he Is an eastern Oregon man, because he Is a fearless man of conscientious scruples, a fair-minded and broad gauge man who will stand for the rights of Oregon In congress, regard less of petty matters or personal gain or loss. In commending him to Its readers the East Oregonlan believes It Is fur therlng the very best Interests of The Salem Journal commenting on the commercial and political selfish ness of Portland, as exercised toward the remainder of Oregon, says: Treat Portland kindly, but do not be worked all the time. Here's a proposition to set all the school teachers to work having all the children write essays for Portland. That Is like the old scheme to have all the public schools take up collec tions for Portland charitable Institu tions. When did Portland exert Itself, as a city, for any town or city In the in terior? Didn't Portland work our delegation to have no state fair last year, and isn't Portland at work now to have a rival state fair? Let us be generous, but let us be slow about It. Oregon would be far bettor off If this state had three cities of 50,000 each than to have one of 150.000 that cares no more for Oregon than for Washington. Idaho or Alaska. Portland is more concerned today about a steamship line to Alaska than about a steamer to Coos bay or a trol ley line up the vallev Tell Portland to go to the hot place for a while, and protect our own In terests, is a pretty good motto. But let us treat the big city kindly, but do not be worked all the time. REST AND POOREST SERVANT. THE PEON. WHAT WILL ENGLAND DO? England cannot feed herself. The gnawlngs of hunger grow more and more acute, as shown by the pov erty pa-.-ai-r- that ar;.- levi;r..:ir i;:ore frequent in London streets. In France these parades would merge Into uprising and bread riots that would tax the military and the police. But the British worklngman Is not built that way. He suffers, and murmurs not. Or he sends his women through the streets, making dumb shows of his despair. England Is dependent on her ships for food. Her real state Is shown by the par liamentary debates on the state of the country. It Is seriously proposed to store up supplies In depots, to prevent starvation In case of war. A block ade of English ports of entry would bring on almost Instant famine. Meanwhile the brawn and muscle of the country Is pathetically stunted by pinching poverty. The fact was painfully apparent during the Boer war. Nine out of 10 applicants for enlistment were refused because they did not come up to the physical stan dard a standard, be It noted, that was purposely lowered because of the necessity. The strong yeomanry once the Briton's pride. Is slouching Into the slums. What will England do? What can she do? What ought she to do? She can and ought to give her peo pie access to the broad acres of use' less land. These lands are held for the great public parks or used for vast game preserves or for the prl vate pleasures of a rich nobility They ought to be opened to the plow, In this country the whole public domain belongs to the people, and the ceople go In to possess It. In England the people the shut out largely, from ownership or operation of the land. Hundreds of thousands of acres that would support tens of thousands of the worthy poor are given over to the landscape gar dener or the gamekeeper minister lng only to lordly pride and pleasure. best and poorest servant, the peon B To one who has lived long enough In Mexico to become acquainted with the working classes and acquire some Insight Into t'.ieir natures and some degree of confidence In and from them, it seems untalr when writing or talking of them to Americans to refer to them as Indians, us they are so commonlv known here, says Mod ern Mexico. To the average citizen of the United Statefi the word Indian at once brines to mind the picture of the sullen and revengeful redman nf the north. The simple-minded, patient, docile Indian of Mexico Is not in this class at all. He Is eminently peace ful. Bountiful nature and perpetual summer combine to palliate his Im providence. He cannot see the neces sity of laying up anything for a rainy day. It rains half the days In Mexico anyhow, but that only makes th? mangoes larger and cheaper. If he has no tortillas today, some of his neighbors have, and they will gladly share, for condition!, may be reversed tomol row. These Mexican Indians make the best and the poorest servants In the world. Their greatest charm from this standpoint Is their perfect ap preciation of their position. Always poilte, never presuming, with hat In hand, it Is always "your servant" and "with your permission." In the household work they ask a half holiday once a fortnight with never a word of complaint when working hours last from daylight to midnight. So different are these peo ple from the northern Indian that It seems an injustice, as has been said, to call them by that name to those who know only the Indian of the col l countiy. The Mexican Indian does not want to fight. All he asks is to be let alone. His politeness and af fectionate nature are Inborn. His love for children Is particularly mark ed. It Is 5 common sight to see a la borer In the street with but two plecei of white cotton clothirg to his baek, or ills name, stop a woman with a baby in her arms, and holding the child's face between both his hands deliver a resounding smncK an i cn:cii It under the chin. Anil In the same unconscious and entirely unaffected manner will a young man take his sombrero from his head and rever ently kls' the hf.nd of some ancient relative in a tattered dtess when he encounters her In the crowded thor oughfare. It is a mistake to think that the common people of Mexico hav n) sense of appreciation, that they are lacking in gratitude as one so often ears, especially from foreigners. The trouble Is that those who do not now them expect too much. For the great part they are uneducated. Their minds are not developed. They are but children In many ways. Give child a big box of candy; In a few days it will be gone. A month after wards you cannot expect the child to be good on remembrance of the weets so long consumed. Instead. give a chllil a stick of candy every day throughout the month and he will every day be your obedient admirer. It is much the same with Juan. You may fit him out from top to toe with new clothes at great expense. He cannot repeat to himseif every day r six months: "Now my master has given me these fine clothes and I must be grateful." A cigarette, given at more frequent intervals, in . the proper spirit, would much more ef fectively keep his friendship and gratitude. Do not be afraid that such an act of companionship on your part would lead to undue familiarity on Juan's part. He will take off his hat and say Gr.'ieiax, senor." Just as politely the las: time as the first. Any old resi dent of Mexico will tell you that it is the trusted servant tha is the honest one. Put your servants on their honor and you will fare much better tht.n It you attempt the impossible and try to watch everything that is not locked up and allow them to fcn, w that you do not trust them. Of course, there are exceptions and there are llni'ti-. The public school system of Mexico Is becoming thoroughly established throughout the republic. The devel opment of the Mexican Indian during the next generation will be an Inter esting study. There are many among the old residents who feel that the education of the laboring classes Is a mistake; that It Is spoiling good serv ants and humble workmen, and that the creation of new wants will not make them any happier; that, In fact, Guadalupe and his wife will have more trials and sorrows when they want to wear shoes and sleep In a bed than they do now when they go barefooted and He down at night on a rush mat spread on the earthen floor. ' On the other hand, there are many evidences that the Mexican Indian has in his makeup the foundation of bet ter things. There are numerous con spicuous examples of what men from the lowest ranks, when given educa tion and apportunlty can do. Op pressed and enslaved as he was for centuries, the Mexican Indian has had no chance to show what was In him. The twentleh century will give him his opportunity. Some of us will be here long enough to see the world surprised at what he accomplishes. what the specifications of the organ should be and who should build It a very difficult one, and the commute in charge of the matter has been de liberating for more than a year. Rob ert Hope-Jones, now associated with the Skinner company, was the de signer and builder of the famous or gan of Worcester Cathedral In Eng land, nnd one of the largest Instru ments In the world, and certain of his Inventions for -producing powerful tone determined the awarding of the contract. The organ will be operated through out by electricity. New York Herald. Railroad Irrigation Projects.
