Lord.. I would choose the crowd-
ed way
Wharf souls are tried, the
strain and strife
With prim Temptation day by

Would know the height and

I would not ask a sheltered

A fireside and a cradle song,
Lest having "all in all," I might
Forget the great, heart-brok-

ENCOURAGING X)R ELLIS.
The country papers throughout east
ern Oregon speak favorably of the re
election of Congressman W. R. Ellis.
They point out the fact that although
be U a candidate and could gain much
strength and secure new votes, per
haps, by coming home and making an
active campaign, yet he Is remaining
st his post cf duty at Washington at
tending to the state's business and is
trusting his re-election to his friends
at home.
The two other candidates are mak
lEg an active campaign and are tak
ing advantage of the absence of Con
gressman Ellis to gain portions of his
strength here and there where they
can. In view of this fact, the tone of
tbe country press, with but one or
two exceptions, is encouraging.
It looks as though the people would
cot forsake a man who is at his post
and who Is willing to sacrifice his
chances for re-election in attending
t the people's work which he has
been chosen to do.
Senator Fulton is in Oregon mak
ing an active campaign for re-election.
Congressman Ellis could do likewise
if he wished to do so, but he has chos
en to remain at Washington where his
services are needed.
and the expenditure of considerable
money to be nominated and elected
governor of Oregon for one term, but
ho was turned down cold for a second
nomination. He was entitled to the
second term, under every rule of poli
tics, but the people had enough of
him. If he wits such a brilliant suc
cess ns a governor why was he cast
aside iit the end of his first blunder
ing term?
He then ran for United States sena
tor and polled a small vote with no
republican opposition but the legisla
ture knowing the people's sentiment,
regarding Oeer, as shown in their re
peated rejection of him. again turned
Oeer down, and he then ran for gov
ernor before the primaries f 1906,
and was not only defeated by a new
and untried man, but did not carry
cither of his home counties, Marlon
nor Union.
And still he has the audlclty to say
th.tt the people have never turned
him down. The fact Is they have done
nothing but turn him down since they
fcund out what his political and pri
vate calibre Is.
Now after all these repeated rejec
tions, after all these rebuffs from the
reople of Oregon, he moves Into a
new district and Immediately sets
himself up for the highest honor in
the district. With his past record to
answer and his persistent office seek
ing as a mill stone about his neck,
It is safe to say that he will . be de
feated again this last time. He is
making a political death struggle now.
Had he been a fit man for public
office the people of Willamette valley
would have gladly kept him In office
The truth Is. they found him out and
"shook" him. Eastern Oregon will do
likewise, if she regards her own interests.

HAHRIMAVS DREAM.
THE HEAVY REGISTRATION.
The heavy registration for the pri
maries in Umatilla county is an evi
dence that the people love their pri
mary law and are going to take an
active part in selecting their candi
dates. It is a refutation of the repeat
ed statement of the machine politi
cians that the primary law would fi
nally die a natural death from lack
of interest on part of the people.
It is now hoped that the vote cast
in the primaries is as heavy as the
registration. Tbe voters njust exer
cise their citizenship. Let them vote
on every occasion and be watchful of
their interests and soon the political
atmosphere of Oregon will be cleared
BP-
The chief reason why corruption
crept into state governments under
the old way of selecting candidates,
ras that voters did but little thinking
about government but trusted it all to
a few self-selected bosses. Now that
the individual voters must think and
vote for himself government will
clarify itself.

MR. GEER'8 RECORD.
T. T. Oeer. who. in his race for the
congressional nomination in the sec
ond Oregon district, says in his own
paper, the only one boosting him for
the place .that he has never been
turned down by the people of Ore
gon. Let us see.
He was a member of the legisla
ture two or three terms from Marion
county, but the people finally got tired
ur him and defeated him. Had he
been such a man as he says he Is,
would not Marlon county have con
tinued him in the legislature indefi
nitely say 25 to 25 years as they do
capable and honest men In other
states?
He succeeded by political scheming
Harrlman's master stroke In secur
ing control of the Erie railroad com
pletes one absorbing dream which has
occupied his mind since he first step
red, full armed, into the railroad
arena a few years ago.
It has been In one great object to
own an ocean-to-ocean line linking
t gether the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts and giving him a free sweep
around the globe with railroad trains
and steamships.
NOW that dream seems to have been
realized. The possession of the Erie
system fills in the gap between Chl
ccgo and New York and opens up the
gateways of the Atlantic coast to this
master of the Pacific coast.
Now what will be the outcome?
What will Harriman do with it?
What additions to his immense traf
fic organization will come as a result
of this new arm reaching into virgin
territory?
With an ocean-to-ocean line binding
San Francisco to New York with Har
iiman steel, and with subsidiary lines
reaching out like, tentacles into every
state, it looks as though Harriman is
in a fair way to dominate the entire
traffic of the continent. With a dozen
tracks, If necessary, side by side, what
would hinder Harriman from concen
trating the through business of the
United States on his lines?
It is a dream that cannot be com
prehended at a glance. It is so stu
pendous, so vast and complicated and
complex that one must stop and con
sider. And after Harriman has laid track
after track side by side to meet the
traffic born of his country wide mo
nopoly; after he has concentrated the
current of freight movement into his
swift flowing channels of transpor
tation; after he weaves his web of
railroads, like a gigantic spiderweb
with tight-drawn cords attached to
every state in the Union, suppose Har
riman should tire of fame and should
say to the United States government:
"Here Is the greatest system of trans
portation on the earth; take It and
run it in the interests of the people."
It would be such a short step from
Harrlman's monopoly of a hemisphere
to government ownership. Will Har
riman do it? He is capable of Just
such an act.
for they use as their tools the poor,
the ignorant and the hot-headed, who.
Inflamed by anarchistic utterances,
commit violence. Emma Goldman,
for Instance, probably lacks the cour
age to throw a bomb, though she is
very- wordy on the subject.
Tlie people of this country, those
who are law-abiding, are by no means
oppressed. The government and
countless individuals labor incessantly
and spend fortunes annually to edu
cate the poor and the Ignorant so that
they make their own way and stand
on their own feet.
The people of France were justified
In their revolutions, for they hid en
dured centuries of oppression, but the
people of the United States are offer
ed every opportunity of bettering
their conditions.
Obviously, as President Roosevelt
suggests, It Is necessary to prevent
anarchists from spreading their doc
trines of destruction as long as there
are any who will listen. Eventually
if our educational institutions are suc
cessful, there may be none who will
care to listen.
ENEMIES OF THE NATION.
Anarchists the country over will now
probably attack President Roosevelt,
and we may expect fiery tirades from
the devotees of the red flag, speeches
accusing the president of denying the
right of free speech, free thought,
says the Spokane Chronicle.
Free speech and free thought are
all very well, except when they Incite
to riot, murder and destruction. Then
they become the Instruments of evil,
ar.d as such should be curbed.
The present temper and tendencies
of the anarchists resembles nothing
so much as the temper of the Ignorant
people of France prior to and during
the reign of terror, and we want no
reign of terror in this country.
Anarchy Is a destructive and not s.
constructive doctrine. It teaches the
annihilation of law, order, property
and Individual rights. Anarchists are
criminals of the most dangerous class,
The highest compliment which the
Kast Oregonlan has yet heard pail
to the influence of women In public
affairs comes from a former resident
ot Idaho, who now lives In Pendleton.
Speaking of bribing and coercing
voters at the polls, as In the olden
times before the Australian ballot law-
came into general use, he said it was
customary for voters to go In herds
to the polls with tickets already mark
ed by others. "But since women have
been voting In Idaho," he said, "the
elections have been clean and fair and
the voting places on election day in
any Idaho town are Just as orderly
and genteel as any store, hotel or
ether public place where women are
found." This inducement alone
should be sufficient to warrant the
men of Oregon In giving women the
ballot..
T. T. Geer has ordered a new dic
tionary made at once. Webster's In
ternational falls far short of furnish
ing epithets needed In his present con
gressional campaign.
SPRING.
Beneath the step of maiden Spring
The blushing blossoms wake;
Her nimble-pinioned breezes bring
To bud each grove and brake.
Now sport the flocks o'er hill and
plain;
The serpent's dight anew;
The bllthsome bird Its nuptial strain
Pours from the boundless blue.
'Tis as a loving call they heard
Each thing and promptly came;
Leaf, blade and flower, beast, bee
and bird,
To answer to its name.
