A RECTI NU PLACE.
The country' always somewhere
Howe'er the city grinds.
Cool, grassy fields are waiting
Howe'er the dust cloud blinds,
The oaks we knew aforetime
Are each one in their place.
And butterflies drift past them
And cool cloud shadows race.
Howe'er work mars the pattern
Of things we planned to do,
Howe'er dreams of our dream
ing Lag In the coming true,
The country waits off yonder
With balm for work-worn
hearts.
Vistas of blowing blossoms
To soothe the eye that smarts.
And there are laughs of child
ren To meet us down the way.
And the gold of the sunset
Wipes all the dun and gray
Out of the world before us.
And, howe'er we shall fare.
Whate'er our climbs or stumbles
The country's always there.
J. M. Lewis.

HOXOIt. THE OXLY ISSUE.
Though the local morning paper
doe not dare openly advise member
of the legislature to violate their
pledges yet it Is indirectly doing
everything possible to Induce them to
do so. Then it cries because this
paper uses "denunciatory adjectives"
in dealing with It. It asks for "sober
consideration of the issues Involved."
But there Is just one single, soli
tary "issue" Involved In the senator
ial proposition. It Is whether solemn
oaths shall be respected or broken
whether honor or dishonor shall pre
vail In Oregon.
Along with others the East Oregon
ian has been urging that the mem-bers-elect
of the legislature keep their
flighted faith and elect Governor
Chamberlain for senator as they swore
they would do If the people endorsed
him. Other papers, and the Tribune
i one of them, are working to induce
legislators to break their pledges.
Should the legislature refuse to
elect Governor Chamberlain and
thereby disgrace themselves and the
state these papers will be chiefly to
b.ame. They will be accessories to
the wrongdoing.
Because the morning paper Is not
openly advising statement Xo. 1
members to break their pledges, this
fact does not relieve It from the odi
um of its position. It Is trying to do
Indirectly what It dares not do di
rectly. It has the soul of the political
creek, but not the nerve.
The proposition of the senatorship
i purely and simply a question of
a nor. Being such It Is not properly
a subject for debate. All this talk
regarding constitutionality, court de-cl.-ion,
etc.. is superfluous. The mem
bers of the legislature have pledged
.heir sacred" words of honor. This
-h'juld settle the matter. It does
s'-ttle it with fair-minded, honest men.
The East Or-gonian believes that
the movement to force members of
the legislature to break their pledges
1' going to fall miserably. It will fail
i'. the Instinct of honor is enthroned
as it should be In the hearts of the
men who are to represent the state
of Oregon jn the corning legislature.
JUSTICE'S GREATEST FOR.
More than one thing entered Into
tne attempted assassination of Fran
Cis J. Heney. If the blame for that
cowardly d-ed were rightly placed a
portion would be laid at the door of
uur legal system especial as It pre
vails In the city by the Golden Gate.
Justice In San Francisco has been
a sorry goddess. For more than two
years the graft prosecutions have been
o.:, and yet not a man Is now in tha
penitentiary. During that time the
t'iabolical work of Ruef and Schmitx,
.lis been Uld bare. Many former at
rnwn told In open court of th
tiiameleiui grafting that had been
done. Hui'f himself pleaded guilty
to a felony. The prosecution has had
everything complete.
Vet such has been the administra
tion of the law In an Francisco that
not a man Is yet under sentence. So
slow, or so corrupt, have been the
courts that they have Incurred the
disgust and derision of lawyers them
stives.
Immediately after the attempt on
Ht ney's life Hiram Johnson, a leading
attorney of the city, Is quoted as say
ing: "In the efficacy of the law 1
have no confidence and for the ad
ministration of Justice In this com
munity I have the profoundest con
tempt, but It Is given to us of the
profession to work In but one way
and that is through this lame admin
istration of law and Justice."
There is something wrong with a
Judicial system when It brings forth
such harsh denunciation from one
who is himself a member of the bar.
The truth Is, and even attorneys are
row admitting it, there la entirely too
much technicality about the American
Judicial system. It should not re
quire a millionaire's bank account, a
host of detectives and able lawyers to
send a man to the penitentiary' when
he admits he is guilty of a felony.
The law is not up-to-date. It per-1
mits of too much delay, too much
Quibbling, too much technical object
ing, too much demurring. If two
thirds the system were cut away
would not justice be more sure and
speedy '.'
The law is supposed to forward the
work of justice. But In San Fran
csco. and elsewhere. It has been mads
the blind goddess' greatest foe.
THEY ARE ANALOGOUS.
In a weakly manner the morning
paper denies there is any analogy be
tween the election of a president by
the electoral college and the selec
tion of a senator by a pledged legis
lature. It says the cases are "utterly
dissimilar" and that another diagno
sis should be tried.
Now let us look at this matter fair
ly and honestly and see who is right.
The East Oregonian said that the
cases are similar in that in neither
instance do the men use their own
discretion, though under the constitu
tion they are permitted to do so.
Under the constitution a presiden
tial elector may vote for whomever
he pleases for president. Yet no elec
tor ever goe4s back on the implied
pledges he takes. The presidential
electors will not think of voting for
anyone but Taft, although a majority
o them might favor Roosevelt, or
Hughes, for Instance.
The members-elect of the legisla
ture are in exactly the same situation,
excepting that they are under sworn
obligation to vote for a certain man.
A majority took oath to vote for the
man whom the people should desig
nate. They designated Governor
Chamberlain.
It matters not in the slightest that
Governor Chamberlain Is a demo
crat. The legislators-elect knew that
when they took their oaths. The
people knew that when they selected
him for senator. There is nothing In
the constitution, or out of it, that
makes it necessary for a legislature
to choose a senator from any partic
ular political party.
The two cases are analogous. If It
ia contrary to the constitution for the
people to Instruct legislators whom to
choose for senator It Is unconstitu
tional for the people to say what men
the electors shall vote for. But the
constitution is not violated in either
case. The people are supposed to rule
In this country.
Chauncey M. Depew assails Oregon's
new Idea" regarding the selection of
senators. Well may he do so. Ore
gon a method or cnoosing senators
means the elimination of Buch flun
kies as Depew from political life. Or
egon needs no higher compliment
than is found In the disfavor of such
rtt T. . ... nn
a man as cnauncey iepcw. oic-wii
needs no advice from a man whose
reputation at home and abroad is that
of a social and political fop.
Where are the legislators who are
going to commit political suicide by
breaking the! A solemn pledges by re
fusing to vote for Governor Chamber-
In for senator. Thus far the "ac-

Wherefore should you stay
When you see the country smilin'
Like she's happy on the way?
The same sun makes a pathway
Through the cloud-draped sky -of
gray.
An' the hills are com In' out to meet
the mornin'!

In the Town of Tribulation
They are feelln' mighty low;
Though minutes still mean millions
They are wishin" 'em to go;
Rut yonder where the hills shine
Hear the merry bugles blow,
Wheer the hosts are comln' out to
meet the mornin"!

The Town of Tribulation
Raise around it high a wall!
Hide It from the travelers , , ..
That have heard the summits call!
But if there you still would linger,
Stake It off an' take It all.
An' we'll walk the brighter highway
to the mornin"!

HOMESICK.
The great canella swings Its blooms
Like censers down the languid air;
More dear to me the purple plumes
Xew England's lilacs wear.
The sun strides an exulting god
Too glorious above the plain;
I crave gray skies and April sod
Green from the last long rain.
At night the stars are wonderful ;
Remote they blaze aloof apart;
Oh! northern night-sky, far and cool,
Your stars shin? Ir; my heart.
I want the hills of home again;
An"d aye my heart is yearning
yearning
To feel the hill road up the glen
Caress my feet returning

Consul R. S. Chilton. Jr., of Toron
to, In reply to an Inquiry, advises In
regard to the use of liquor stamps In
Canada.
Liquor stamps are not issued to
dealers, but are put on bottled goods
at the distillery under the supervis
ion of an excise officer, who opens
and closes doors of bottling ware
houses under government lock. The
stamps or labels show the age of the
liquor and the government officer
sees that the goods are properly
stamped. Xo tax stamp "is put on
bottles or barrels, but the tax of 1.90
per proof gallon Is paid before the
goods leave the distillery. Barrels
are marked by the government offi
cer but no stamps are attached. The
bottle stamps or labels above referred
to are charged for at the rate of 1
cent each for quarts and less for
pints. These bottle labels are Issued
