EASTEIIX OlIEGOX MOSSBACKS. In the past It has been the fond custom for those who live this side of the Cascade mountains to consider themselves as the hustling, up-to-date element of the state. On the other hand, they have regarded the people of Willamette valley as a slow-going moss-coveted race, too sleepy to keep the grass from growing up In the streets. But returning home from the state fair yesterday, Ir. S. W. MeClure de clared that if there are now any "mossbacks" in Oregon they are in the eastern part of the st.tte. This is a statement that sounds new and Ji u'jt'.ess siime will resent It. But v ould it not be well to consider It j striuusly before denouncing it. The ) best friends of a community, as . ; as of an individual, are those w.i ready to aid in correcting a f.iuit well as to praise a virtue. If Dr. Me Clure has found that eastern Oregon Is becoming backward compared with the rest of the state, he has done a friendly thing In telling us about It. E.st-rn Oregon people shouM find it out before anyone else does. In a talk before th Comereial as sociation several months ago. Dr. Me Clure. who Is head of the bureau of animal Industry In the northwest, rounde a different key from the res; of the speakers. He said that eastern Oregon In its conceit considers itself j as a great stork country and hp then ! showed that while the country may I be great, yet the methods of the J stockmen are such that there Is now j not enoueh stock In eastern Oregon to keep n parking plant going half the t'rne. If sikIi a plant were established-in the northwest much of the raw materia wouM have to be brourh here from th middle states. Ohio, though much smaller in area, has- more and better sheep than Ore gon. Perhaps this Is why the doctor rfgard- eastern Oregon people as In clined toward" mossbacklsm. The East Oregonian is proiiil of this j.ertion of the state and of the people who dwell therein. liut It believes there is much truth In the statement Mail- ;y the government man. If Umatilla, county shepmen now raise 3 OO.ooo pounds of wool when by the right methods they could raise 5,000,- 000 pounds they are mossbackt. II the farmers now raise a crop of wheat 01 !y eeiy other year when by proper methods they could raise annual crops they are slow, It matters not how mni li money they may be mak ing now and how many autos they have. The trutn of the whole matter Is that eastern Oregon Is now beyond the pioneer, Hod-bn aklrig Mage and tu n ;,. :iiodH are in order. The ques tion in whether the farmer and stock men Intend to w ilt until necessity and the procem of evolution force them Into these methods or will they adopt them at once? plitely wrong," says William Hard, In the October number of Everybody's. "All that the government does under the Herman system is this (and here is the ght of the whole compulsory In. siirance idea): "The govet iinient takes each Indus try and each trade In the empire and s.'.ys to the people who own it: " 'You must flirt, i an accident in surance association which will Include ai; the employes In your Industry and n your trade. And you must pay oinp' nsation to all your Injured vorkmen according to a fixed scale. We won't stop to try to divide the Maine for accidents between y mi and yi ur workmen. We will assume for practical i tirposes that you weren't living to commit murder and that ll.iy weren't trying to commit sul ilde. We will assume that act I leiits iM-e accidents. And we w!l make etch t.tiile bear the but den of its own aect- (hiiis. We will make each trade ad 1 the cost of Its hurned-otit eye-sockets to the -cost of Its burned-out coal i .ites 111 computing the tnarki t price of its product. So you must form your accident insurance association In your Industry and in your trade, and i.u must pay your injured workmen the compensation fixed-by law. Hut ll'at's where we stop. Everything els r. sts with yu. Go ahead and elect your own officers and fix your own di tails to suit yourselves. Invent your own safety devices. Adopt your own shop rules. Employ your own factory inspectors. Engage your ow n doctors. Hulld your own hospitals. Do all, or none, of these things, as you please. Profit by your own wisdom and your own humanity n preventing accident and incurring their consequences. Lose money by your own Inefficiency and your own cruelty In letting acci dents happen and In neglecting Injur ed workmen. All that we Insist upon I that your trade shall carry Its own load of the wounded and the slain This Is not bureaucracy. This Is not paternalism. It Is trade responsibil ity. It Is trade self-government." a young calf. Running to the window she exclaimed, "roof little culfey; has your mamma gone to the card parly and left you, too?" Henry, aged 3, was left alone wltn his 3-nionths-old brother. His moth er, hearing the baby cry, returned to find out what had happened. "Oh," said Henry, "I choked him a little, but I asked him to 'sense me.' Through a certain town electric cars had begun operation, using the thud rail system Instead of a trolley. 'I he teacher of a primary cl.o-s in a .-a'clath school of this town tried to Impiess the little ones of the power of .Ic.uts, and was astonished to hear one little fellow say, "Jesus can do anything. lie could walk on the third rail and It would not hurt Him."

Judge Bean declared yesterday In his charge to the grand jury that to allow a law to bocome a dead letter i.s to take the first step towards an archy. Hut there is one law that has always been a dead letter in Oregon, and that is the Puritanical Sunday closing law. This law as it reads for bids practically everything excepting undertaking establishments and po lice stations from being open on the Sabbath. It is not enforced because it Is too rigid and the people don't .:;nt it enforced. .'.at It Is a ba.l thing to have a law .' this kind on the statute books. It furnishes a pretext for those who would violate other laws. Every now and then an effort Is made to have the law enforced, but always for an blterlor purpose. District Attorney Cameron of Portland, has Just an rounced that the law must be obeyed to the letter and If his orders are car red out Portland people will be un able to buy cigars or Ice cream on Sunday. Cameron Is accused of play inf. politics and of having taken his action at the Instance of the saloon men who are required to stay closed under a different statute. But if the legislature would chango the Sunday closing law so as to mnko It what the people of Oregon really want, there would be no further trou- I hie on this score. The coming legls j lature should draft a new law and Irclude In Its title a statement that It lis a measure to prohibit anarchy. Pitn ro Jones he wrote a play Twas called. I think, "The St.dlar Way." Here horrors multiplied by threes And held the Cl.isic I'ti'ties. The scene was laid In ancient Tyre; 'Twas filled with togas, idols, ire, Where Jove and Jones contrived their worst ('Twas shown to Julia Marlowe first.) Pitiero Jones had small success In pleasing Marlowe's pcnslvetiess, And so he changed "The Stellar Way" Into a modern parlor play. He added English tweeds, divorce, A dash of romance, tea, remorse, Put In a scene that mildly gripped And showed John Drew the manu script. When this came hick Jones wasn't sa d. He changed the name to "I'lster's Lad," And English landlord, mortgaged farm, Dudeetis. eolbens, and "local charm," Ive. romance, knockdowns, county fairs, Seme sentimental Irish airs And soon the drama seemed so fit That Chauncey Olcott smiled on It. The thing came back, of course, and then Up took P. Jones his ready pen. The blarney was revised to guff Of horsy flavor, rather tough; A Chorus !irl of self-respect With a little Sister to protect So Jones arranged a new locale And took the script to Itosa Stall!. What ri"ed in detail to relate The fight of Jones with fickle fate? At last. In brief, a music play Came out in name "The Milk White Way" Sans wit. sans lines, sans plot, sans sense; The billboards had it. "Hit Immense!" .nii Junes tonay, oeyoitii tne seas, Lives like a king on royalties. Immoral Moial that I teach The Mortal who the Stars could reaeli Should dally less with Sophocles Than modern bards who write with ease. The kind of Art that cannot fail Is art upon a sliding scale.
