Will the referendum vote of the people of Oregon assure the existence of the Weston Normal sfhool? Will the politicians and selfish schemers of certain portions of the state dare to meddle with the public institutions outside of ?alem again after this em phat'c rebuke from the people. It Is unfortunate for eastern Ore gon that the unsettled condition of eastern Oregon state institutions has held hark this portion of the state. It Is magnificent empire of wealth and development. It Is entitled to state' Institutions, and yet the narrow self ishness of other parts of the state has kept her state Institutions in continu al turmoil and uncertainty. The tate experiment farm at Union has beep a huge Joke since It has been known that Salem determined to abol ish It. The Weston Normal has been standing on one foot. In expectancy, for several years wondering If the next legislature would refuse to support It, nd so !n this condition the great em pire of "astern Oregon has been re tarded In its growth. Does the referendum vote of the people settle the matter once for all? May eastern Oregon go ahead now and build up the Weston normal and and he asred that western Oregon will net stab It to the heart at the flrt opportunity? A settled and well defined basis should be established and the state schools which are needed for the training of teachers, should he Just as firmly founded outside of Salem as In Salem. This continual struggle for life should be eliminated. Eastern Oregon Is a portion of the great state and the people of this portion of the state should feel secure In their priv ileges and should not be kept on the anxious seat year after year by the Insatiable selfishness of Salem. The people of western Oregon are all right. It Is the politicians and schemers who will be personally ben efitted who make all the trouble. bbowxeli. is out. The character of George C. Brow nell, who for 12 years has ben state senator from Clackamas county, and who as such has dominated politics In v and largely In Salem, Is history of the state. -e was never ""h groundwork. If he has ever foste-ed a movement or a measure from honest principle, the East Oregonlan la un able to remember ruch an Instance at this time. And yet ho has been successful In a political way for over 15 years. He has secured such a Klip on state poll tics, through grasping certain opportu nities us they presented themselves, that he has enjoyed almost a despotic, power at times. And he has always used It to advantage. Ills chief occupation In the state senate has been to pull the strings which by some devious manner camo l:iti his political fingers. He has pulled them right and left, to his own advantage and has sought in . every possible way to surround public men with such a network of obligations to him, that they would be compelled to rerosnle him. While he has held the support of the woolen mill employes and other labor forces Ir Clackamas county, he has been a secret foe to labor. Ho has knifed labor bills In the legislature, deceived labor representatives In com mittees. Ill open session In the legis lature and in private life. He has broken promise after promise to them and yet by some Incomprehensible means has kept the labor vote of his own county. Take away his oratorical ability and there Is nothing to George C. Brown ell. His manner Is not convincing. He shows the deceit which he prac tices In every movement and how ho has maintained such a grip on state politics as he has enjoyed. Is a mys tery. It Is to be hoped that his retire ment from politics is permanent. He has done the state no good in his long service. He has been a corrupt ing force always at work to tear down honest legislation in the interest of some corporation which paid him. His defeat has been long In coming. May It be perpetual. T11K XKV POSTMASTER. '.lim" Brown has made a good water superintendent and he will make a good postmaster. No more satisfactory choice could have been made. He is a steady, capable, care ful official and his long service In the water department of the city has put him In touch with the public In such manner that he will step Into the post office, fully equipped for the place. Mr. Llvermore has made an excel lent official. There are few men In the city more popular than he, and while It it is regretted by many of his friands that he could not be retained, yet his friends feel compensated In the fact that J. T. Brown is to be his successor. The postofflce' Is a most difficult public office to fill. There are so many kinds and classes of people to deal with that It Is well nigh Impossi ble to prevent complaints. But the people of Pendleton are assured of a continuation of the excellent standing of the Pendleton office. The East Or egonlan, perhaps one of the most ex tensive patrons of the postofflce, con gratulates both Mr. Brown and Pen d'eton on the appointment. IP. RESPONSIBLE LAISOH. White men who arc shiftless and irresponsible are to blame for the In troduction of foreign labor Into the United States largely. The corpora tions, of course, are In search of cheap labor, but their experiences have taught them that cheap labor Is not always good labor and so if white men could be found who would remain per manently with their Jobs, a large por tion of the foreign labor would be discarded. The character of the transient white labor now available In the northwest Is so unsatisfactory, that it is possible that Japanese will be Introduced Into the various construction departments of the railroads. Bridge carpentering painting, mechanical repairing and other departments of railroad systems are constantly In nd of permanent, steady men, and if such men cannot he found, Japanese will be Introduc ed Into these departments without fall before long. The officials regret the necessity of such action, but rather than suffer the nt aggravation caused by shift men who work only long "grub" stake, for- ""d. So the cor WHO IS TO BLAME? The following Indictment of those who are responsible for . the filthy packing houses, is from a sermon by ltev. Herbert S. Plgelow, pastor of the Vine Street Songregatlonal church of t Iniinimtl. the noted single tax min ister and lecturer: In bis famous letter to the London Times on the land question In Russia. Tolstoi spoke of several ideas as ripe for discussion and action. He spoke of private property in land as the "nearest mid most obvious evil." llo held that besides facing this evl our civilization must also face the prob lem of capital punishment, prostitu tion and militarism. And to this c-ite-fiory of ripe problems he added til" practice of flesh eating. The packing house exposure Is the most effective argument ever made for a vegetarian diet. It will be hard for Imaginative people to forget those dead rats ati.l amputated fingers. They will reflect that there Is already an army of government meat Inspec tors. If. with till these inspectors. It took a socialist novel to acquaint the public with conditions, how secure will these Imaginative people feel when the government has a few more Inspectors? i Wo used to go to the priests for salvation. Now we go to the state. We fly to the arms of the government Inspector. Just as if he had not al ready been tried and found wanting. "Oh." said a lady, "the government Is going to put a label on the meat. It wlH be all right, now." Great Is gov ernment ! With a government label on the sausage and a rabbit's foot around the neck, may luck be with us! At any rate, we may try eating as Governor Tingree used to vote holding the nose. Socialists have capitalized this inci dent. They have a right to It was a socialist who started it. So they say, "Let us establish government packing houses. And the one resource which seems to occur to every one an in crease of the Inspectors Is socialistic In Its 'tendency. There is this difference between socialistic people and socialists. The socialists want the government to slick our pigs for us. The socialistic people want the government to tell the pack ers how to do It. Put the church as jvell as the state Is under Indictment. Has not the church been telling us that the Indi vidual problem is everything, that if the Individual soul Is saved, society will save. Itself. Are not the packers church members? Is not their gold lifted to God every Sabbath day? Do not their pastors encourage them In the IdeA that their souls are already saved? Has the church lost Its ef fectiveness or Is Its philosophy wrong? Put while we are waiting for the church to convert the packers, or for socialism to convert the packing busi ness, why not turn vegetarians? There are weary arguments for and against this course. But "don't ar-1 gue try it." This Is the time to make the expertment. Perhaps meat eating is not at all a necessity as Is thought, but only a habit. We are not responsible for the tooth and claw struggle of the universe. That is the saddest of mysteries. But we remember the words of the pro phet: "They shall not hurt or destroy In all my holy mountain." Those words were born in man's soul. Is It not his destiny to give them reality? P.Ol ACHOSS X)TIXENT. One of the hie: nroiecls of half centurv ago that appealed to the Im aginations of the people was a propo- siiiiin in ouuu n wagon rnaq rrom me f fslsslrtnl tn Ihn rtcoin In thn k of May 5. 1356, appears the following aiier on mis project: W hpiir thut n hupn nclltlnn la fin the way from California, praying that congress will tortnwitn cause a good uirnii mml tri bf. constructed frnm Missouri to the Pacific. The state of things on both the .New uranadian and N'lcarairiian Isthmuses should be enough to warn congress. It seems to us, of the vital Importance of prompt ly doing all they can constitutionally do by way of Insuring convenient and safe intercourse between our Pacific possessions and the rest of the Union. The project of Mr. Herbert, similar In Its essential features to that of Mr. Phelps, or something, of the sort. Is the ltpv to the solution of the difficul ty. This provides for an overiano mail, with stations not more than a convenient day's ride apart; the land he stntlons only to be donated to the contractors or settlers upon it. Were such a plan carried out. In one year after the first effort to carry the mall In that way there would be a line of hardy settlers upon the route, su'fl'-len to afford ample protection to travelers and to furnish them with supplies for themselves and beasts. Nothing has so astonished us among all he funny things done by congress of late years as Its failure to consum mate some such plan for insuring the safety and convenience of the overland trip to California and Washington and Oregon territories.

Kidney trouble prey npon Hie mind, (liscouniyesamllcsseiisanibitioii; Wuty, viKor ami cheerful ness 'toon disapjieat when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom- -ir mon for a child to lie - born afliicted with weak kidneva, If the child urinates toooften, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child readies an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is vet alilicted with lml-wet-liiiK, depend upon it, thecausu of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should lie towards the treatment of these imjiortuiit organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people supxse. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect bf Swamp-Root is soon realized.
