"LEST WE FORGET.'
For a long time the East Oregon
Ian has firmly believed that back
of the assembly scheme are forces
that have never been disclosed to
-view. In the opinion of this paper
the Portland politicians who are do
ing the surface work in behalf of the
assembly are not the real men behind
the game. There is no reason why a
politician with worthy 'alms should
hate the direct primary. A politici
an who Is honest and is of an inde
pendent spirit really has a better
show under the direct primary than
he had under the old boss system.
Under the direct primary a man may
engage in politics and still retain his
self respect. Under the game as for
merly played it was hard to do that
and succeed. If a man got anything
he had first to kiss the toe of the
boss or bosslet and tacitly swear to
do his bidding. Under the dirct pri
mary system an officeholder is under
no obligations save to his constituents.
Such obligations are honorable.
The real people back of the assem
bly scheme are representatives of cor
porate Interests Interests that have
a direct concern In the control of the
legislative, executive and Judicial
branches of the government of this
state. This paper fully concurs In the
following expressions of the Oregon
Journal:
"But a few short years ago the
corporate Interests were In complete
ccntrol of the legislature of this state.
The railroad attorneys named the
committees having In charge legisla
tion that affected them. Indeed, one
speaker of the house who refused,
much to their astonishment, to fol
low the usual custom has never been
forgiven. The other public service
corporations named committees to suit
their Interests. In unison with the
so-called leaders' they dominated
the conventions, named the officials
and ran things to suit themselves.
In all of this the Oregonlan was an
active participant
The people finally wrong the con
trol from these bosses) with bettered
conditions resulting In every way.
Now It Is planned to overthrow the
new order and restore things to the
unhappy conditions of long ago. The
Journal' is no alarmist and it makes
no statements without Justification,
It speaks advisedly in asserting every
public service corporation in this
state is in the assembly conspiracy,
for conspiracy it is. and nothing else."
"A railroad commissioner Is one of
the officials to be nominated. The
railroads want an assembly candi
date. Two years ago they tried their
hands before the people and inglor
iously failed. Failing in controlling
the republican nominations, they ran
an independent as a 'labor' candidate
and failed again. Through an as
sembly they take no chances. This
is but one of the 'good' reasons for an
assembly. There are many.
"It Is Incredible that the. people
will deliberately surrender their
power to a bunch of self-ccmstituted
so-called loaders, led by the Oregon
ian and organized in the interests of
the corporations and political plun
der. If they do, the evil effect will
not be confined to Oregon, but its In
fluence will be far reaching. Oregon
lias led the way. Will she fail now.
i when to fail would do Inestimable
damage to good government all over
this country."
If the people of Oregon stand for
the assembly scheme they will be play-
ing into the paws of the "Beast In
the Jungle," the Denver species of
. , T. , . , ,
"hIch Jude Llndse- has Pic
tured. This beast is no creature of
the Imagination. It may be invisible
I to those who have never been -shown
; its outline or have never felt its
j claws. It is there Just the same. But
'the be&st does not like the direct
i primary system. It is too ODen. It
jtnrives best in the deep, dark Jungle
of bossism. It is now starved and
whining. It wants Oregon to go
back to the old depths so that it may
fatten and become strong again and
rule this state for its own advantage

gon. SCHOOLS AXD HEALTH.
Boise is discussing the proposition
f a closer medical inspection of the
schools and commenting upon the
subject the Statesman has the fol
lowing: The suggestion that there be medi
cal inspection in the public schools of
Boise is, perhaps, one of the very best
that has been made in connection
with our educational institutions.
Health is the foundation. Without It
there can be no satisfactory mental
development. Medical inspection of
the children would reveal any defects
and prove a boon to the child, to its
parents and to Its teachers.
The Idea does not presup.pose the
detection exclusively of the more dan
gerous diseases. It looks to the dis
covery of minor defects as well. For
example, a child might be suffering
from eye or ear trouble, which un
consciously interfered with its stu
dies. The proper placement of the
student In the room would work to
advantage, wholly aside from the sat
isfaction of determining a cause for
treatment of which the parents may
have been in total ignorance.
The subject is one of supreme Im
portance If there Is anything in our
boasted solictude for the coming men
and women.
Too little attention Is paid to health.
It is so In the schools and it is so In
communities generally. Money is ex
pended without stint for every con
ceivable purpose, but every proposition
looking to more sdnitary conditions
and to the health of the public Is met
with official frowns.
Officials who are business men
enough to spend the public money
wisely will include "health" In their
budgets.
Almost the . entire northwest has
been damaged by floods and wash
outs. Yet Umatilla county has been
spared. The present stage of the
river Is very satisfactory and It seems
there Is little danger of a flood. Then
ngain anything like an ordinary flood
would have no terror for Pendleton
in view of the present strength of the.
levee. .
According to a story Rockefeller Is
seeking to dispose of his wealth. He
might give some of It to people from
whom he took It
Secretary Wilson evidently wants
to remain upon good terms with the
administration as long as he Is In the
cabinet.
From appearances airships offer no
more dangers than railroad travel.
Especially on the Great Northern.
Patten says that speculation Is the
spice of life. He made away- with
considerable "spice" last winter.
This Is the time of the year that
hard surface cross walks would be
greatly appreciated.
Now is the time to plan for a Great

ADVANTAGES OF 1GXOUAXCE.
It was night far out on the plains.
Fleecy clouds swathed the pala moon
and from the distant bluffs a lone coy
ote called mournfully through the
glooru.
A lone horseman rode along the
edge of the cottonwood trees.
Suddenly a sharp, quick command
ulmost made the blood freeze in his
veins. He reined in his horsf.
"Ah, I have got you at last." snarl
ed a voice from the gloom: "pull your
gun and we will fight to the death."
For once in his life our hero was
knocked off his perch. Here was
some one Intent on making his body
a sort of lead depository and seemed
to desire to do the Job quickly.
The man who had hailed him from
the shadow dashd out in the open
and. wheeling his magnificent horse
f:ced our hero, the Terror of Rad
ville. Ah! ha! it was his most deadly en
emy. Cripple Creek Lige.
"Draw your gun and count to five."
cried the demon of Cripple Creek,
"and with the last count turn loose."
With lightning-like rapidity ur
hero had been thinking. After this had
been going on for some time he turn
ed to the man in front of him and
laughed a low, mocking laugh.
"I never lamed to count" he said,
simply.
With a yell of baffled rage Cripple
Creek Lige wheeled his horse and
plowed a large hole in tne atmosphere
in a northerly direction.
He had been cheated of his prey.

DESIRABLE CITIZEN'S DE FIXED.
(Inland Herald.)
In welcoming a newcomer to Spo
kane a few days ago the president of
the Chamber of Commerce said: "Al
though we are largely engrossed in
material things, we are glad to have
with us a marj who is strong erlough
to read Emerson before breakfast."
The remark was followed by a lit
tle pleasantry concerning prizefights
and other favorite amusements of the
American people. It opens a sub
ject worth discussion the quality of
life. It goes to the root of the prob
lem of desirable citizenship.
Critics of American social condi
tions have remarked that we are
either too much engrossed, in com
merce or absorbed beyond reason in
such sports as prizefights.
The same remark might apply to
many other countries, though it must
be admitted that the negro minstre!. j
the prizefight, and some like sports j
occupy too much of the time of the
average American. ,
Spokane has good schools, an excel
lent library, and some clubs where
life Is taken seriously, yet not without
a modicum of humor. These should
be cultivated, and those who have
higher ideals should be encouraged to
come and make their homes with us.
After all, life is exceedingly narrow
to a vast mass of those we meet in
our daily rounds. The man who has
never read a great book, been moved
to tears by sublime music, or felt the
tingle of new emotions when reading
an immortal poem well, he has miss
ed much in life.
The great things in life come cheap
when regarded from a monetary point
of view. An eloquent speech, a mov
ing play, the mastery and magic of
science, the melodies and splendors
of music these cost little, yet those
who enjoy them best are perhaps the
best citizens a community can call Its
own.
THAT ASSKMJH.Y I'UX,
(Elgin Recorder.)
Thi; "assembly plan" was proposed
by a few republicans of the state of
Oregon, who prefer bossism to repre
sentative government. They recently
met In Portland for the purpose of
devising means, schemes and ways of
cheating the direct primary law, over
throwing the will of the people, and
delegating to themselves the right of
making nominations for the repub
lican party. The state of Oregon has
laws regarding the method of nomi
nating candidates of the various par
ties. These laws were Inaugurated by
a large majority of Oregon's repre
sentative voters. Now comes the "as
sembly" man, who attempts to over
throw the nominating law and the will
of a majority of his party men, by
devising a scheme or a schnide by
which they can delegate to them
selves the power of making nomina
tions. In other words, we "assem
bly men" will go to Portland, and
from there we will give to you the
names of the men who must be nom
inated for office by the republican
party. "We are the "guineas" of high
intellectual power, specially favored
to tell you "common guys" who shall
be nominated. We are "it"! We will
do your thinking and you can act In
accordance with our way of thinking.
We believe that the average voter of
Oregon is incapable of picking the
proper men for office, and, we, of
higher qualities, better breeding, more
money and a damslte more gall will be
your representative (?) and tell you
the proper men to nominate. Looks
nice In Its way, is pleasing to con
template and doubtless causes the
"assembly n man" to swell his belly
band a couple of inches when he
thinks of the nice, neat scheme he
has inaugurated. But, there is yet
to remember the independent repub
lican voters, who usually go to the
polls and vote as their honest opin
ion dictates. They will doubtless
have something to say to the assem
bly plan, and it the writer Is any
