last election was the first In which
this statement or pledge was ever ex
acted from candidates and that a ma
jority of the members In that first
trial took the pledge and lived up to

the past history of Oregon politics, as
made and maintained by machine
rule, Is considered.
In the election In 190S even a great

Insist upon the sacred observance of

ADVERTISING CITIES.
In the current number of Sunset
Magazine, 10 Pacific coast cities and
communities carry large display ad
vertisements of their resources. These
advertisements are written to attract
attention to those communities and
there Is no question as to the good
results which will come to those pro
gressive places, from their advertise
ments. Among the places prominently ad
vertised are Medford and Coos Bay,
Ore., and Santa Cruz, San Jose, San
Diego, Contra Costa, Watsonvllle;
Tuba City and Marysville, Cal.
Advertising has become a recognized
business and cities In many places
carry a regular public fund for this
purpose. It Is considered a legitimate
public expense. Cities must have
homeseekers and capital, and the only
logical way to get the best class Is to
advertise in reputable journals just as
private Industries advertise.
Homeseekers have come to look for
advertisements and they Invariably go
where the best inducements are of
fered. They "pass up the place that
does not "hang out Its sign."
the people. These democrats bellev
ed in the ability of the people to
choose their senators and cheerfully
compiled with the people's wishes.
Republicans should have an equally
strong faith In the ability and rights
of the people In this matter. They
should vote for a democrat If he were
chosen by the whole people as readily
and as cheerfully as democrats voted
for a republican chosen by the whole
people.
Mr. Geer should not be afraid of
the people. He should not begin this
early In the game to discredit State
ment No. 1 for fear that Governor
Chamberlain will receive the popular
vote for the senatorshlp. He should
not begin now to lay plans for a back
ward step from Oregon's advanced
position on popular legislation.
The majority party In Oregon
should be the la3t one to attempt to
take the choice out of the hands of
the people. If that party Is afraid to
trust the people 'at the polls, the peo
ple should begin to ask why.
world whether you have, money or
not, when you agitate.
The demand for a driveway on the
site of the old Oregon trail Is only a
new dress for the old subject and It
will have the support and assistance
of the rich agitator who denounced
Coxey In 1894, when the road could
have been built at comparatively small
cost.
THE DENVER CONVENTION.
Present Indications point to the
conclusion that If an earnest, energetic
effort Is not made by those who favor
n leasing policy on the part of the gov
ernment, the enemies of the adminis
tration will capture the convention
and pass resolutions that will not
represent the honrst sentiment of the
people of the weat. says the Laramie
Republican.
Senator Teller, by reason of the fact
that he was the senior senator of the
state of Colorado, v. as made the chair
man on program, and he Is securing
speakers In accord with his own pe
culiar Ideas. His Ideas are diametri
cally opposed to anything the admin
Istratlon stands for, and he Is there
fore doing his utmost toward dlscred'
Itlng President Roosevelt and his sup
porters.
The speakers thus far announced
are opposed to the president's policy
and there appears to have been no at
tempt on the' part of the cattlemen
to see that they were represented.
It Is known that a majority of the
stockmen are favorable to some kind
of government control of the open
range, yet the delegates thus far se
lected are practically all on the other
side of the question.
Active steps should be taken by
those Interested to see that a fair rep
rtsentation of the sentiment of the
majority Is made at the Denver meet

STATEMENT No. 1.
COXEV'S OLD DREAM.
The announcement that Ezra Meek
er wll try to Interest President Roos
evelt In the construction of a national
boulevard over the site of the "Old
Oregon trail," reminds the readers of
the East Oregojilan of the dream of
Coxey, of Coxey's army fame, back In
1894.
One of Coxey's most practical rem
cdlec for the Idleness among laboring
men at that time was the construction
of a broad national highway from
ocean to ocean, the work to be done
by the then Idle men of the country,
I remember, I remember.
When I was Just eighteen;
I think I was the wisest youth
This world had ever seen.
It was a childish fairy tale;
But now 'tis little Joy
To know I don't know lots of things
I did know when a boy.
I remember, I remember,
This old world seemed so slow;
1 teach It how to put things through
When once I got a show!
It was a boyish "guess again;"
But now 'tis sorry play
To find how hard I have to play
T'j get three meals a day.
I remember, I remember.
The things I planned to do,
I meant to take this poor old earth
And make It over new.
It was a very pretty dream;
But now 'tis little cheer
To know the world, when I am gone,
Won't know that I was here.

SOCIALIST CATECHISM.
The socialist Sunday schools of
London continue to prosper and some
of the liberal government are trying
to plan a way to put an end to them
as they are at present constituted,
without Interfering with the tradition
al British right of free speech.
Here are .some extracts from
the socialist Sunday school catechism:
How many clacses are there?
Two. Aristocrats and working peo
ple. Who are the aristocrats?
i Those who enjoy wealth without
J working for It.
Who are the workers?
Wen who work for wages and re
ceive only a portion of what they earn,
the other part going to keep the Idle
classes.
Who owns the factories and the
warehouses,- .
The rich capitalist class who will
not employ men unless they can bake
profit.
What Is the consequence?
That men able and willing to work
for food cannot get food for their
wives and children.
Do men and women die of hunger
In England?
Yes, In the midst of plenty.
Do savages starve In the midst of
plenty?
No, where there Is plenty of food
they all rejoice and make merry. '

It was besieged by Philip of Mace
don, who after being repeatedly baf
fled In Its capture, formed a night at
tack In hope of finding the garrison
off guard.
Just as the troops of Phillip were
advancing, the moon shoon out
brightly and revealed the attack to
the beselged, who repulsed It. After
this the crescent was adopted as the
badge of the city, and when Byzan
tium fell to the Turks they found It
hung In every public square. Believ

It afterwards became the emblem, of
