it is evident that the men who have
gone into this enterprise know their
business and propose to install as good
and serviceable a plant as money will
buy. It is ulso apparent that the
system as it Is now being constructed
is but a nucleus of a greater system,
and that if the Yakima country con
tinues to grow and prosper it" will
reach out to other districts and neigh,
borhoods."
Undoubtedly the traction system of
Xorth Yakima will result in keeping
that city the big commercial center
of central Washington. Some day
Xorth Yakima should be In a class
with the big coast cities of Washing
ton and with Spokane.
Pendleton too will become a real
city if provided with the right sort of
traction facilities.

When I walk the worldly wax
So contented day by day.

A right good world t live in.

An' the road is gettin' darker

"Men have a right to assemble and
to suggest candidates for office in the
name of any political party no mat
ter what fanatics may say to the con
trary," yells the Portland Oregonian.
Ah, but the assembly plan fathered
by the Oregonian and some Portland
politicians does not look to the hold
ing of casual gatherings for the pur
pose of recommending men for nomi
nations. The idea is to restore the
convention system though under a
different name. What the assembly
promoters desire is to make assembly
"recommendations" equivalent to
nominations. To this end all aspir
ants for nominations are being urged
to go before the assembly for support.
Those who do so will be under obli
gations, moral at least, to -uphold the
assembly selections. Those who fail
to do feo but instead continue in the
race after the assembly has adopted its
slate will be treated as bolters. They
will be knifed and vilified Just as
were the men of old who failed to line
up when the party whip was cracked.
There is nothing to it. The assem
bly plan looks to the undoing of the
direct primary law and to the restor
ation of bossism. Those back of the
assembly scheme do not like direct
nominations. Under the direct pri
mary law the politicians cannot run
things. Party bosses and workers have
no power and they resent their down
fall. In order to get back into power
they make the claim that the direct
primary law as now observed is un
safe. They hold that the intelligence
of all the people is not equal to the
intelligence of a few politicians. The
clique that is back of the assembly
say to the republicans of Oregon,
"You have but little sense, let us do
your thinking for you." How' can
they expect to win on such a Issue?
PEXDLETOX TOO.
According to the news dispatches
Representatives Englebright and Kahn
of California made arguments Satur
day before the navy department
against the practice of the depart
ment in hiring foreign ships to bring
coal to the Pacific coast. It was
stated the matter would come before
the naval committee today and that
Mr. Englebright would try to have the
government employ American vessels
Instead of foreign vessels. that "pay
sailors starvation wages."
This is evidently the scheme against
which local farmers were warned re
cently and against which they protest
ed. It is a scheme to eliminate com
petition in the shipping business.
These coal ships return laden with
wheat. If the grain companies are
correct it will mean an advance of a
dollar per ton in the exporting rate
on wheat, if they are ruled-but. This
will mean three cents per bushel less
fi.r the wheat yield of the northwest.
The California congressmen are evi
dently serving in the Interests of the
shipping concerns which wants to have
their foreign" competitors barred from
the field. Congressman Ellis and
others from the northwest should be
able to block this proposition. They
will be remiss in their duty if they do
not exert themselves to the utmost to
prevent such an injustice from being
worked upon the wheatralsers of the
northwest.
The plea that is made for the Am
erican sailors and the reference to the
starvation wages paid the foreign
sailors is all bosh. Such men as Kahn
and Englebright are looking out for
the millionaire shipowners not for the
men who man the ships.

Springfield Republican: We have
spoken of the desirability and hu

cise, pointed and wholly admirable
appeal of the consumers' league, as
follows:
1. Buy eariy In the season and
early In the day.
2. Send packages two weeks ahead
marked, "Not to be opened until
Christmas."
3. Minister to actual needs,
chiefly to children.
4. Choose presents having
usefulness or beauty.
5. Demand articles which

KOURTEEX ERRORS OF LIFE.
In the agitation against football It
h a matter of note that the college
presidents most vigorous in denounc
ing the strenuous sport are those who
head institutions that either do not
play the game or else are not in the
"big team" class. The president of
McMinnville college utterly abhors
the game while Xewberg. Philomath,
LeFayette and other schools of that
class are also fernlnst the sport.
Why?
The Pendleton Auto company has
annexed Walla Walla to its field. Wal

this city and his branch house in
Walla Walla he will soon be the auto
king of the inland empire.
