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?

WHY XOT CIIAXGK IT?
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.
Which, though It miss the gods aloof,
May please the Hardens on the Roof.
