IT ALL DEPENDS.
IT IS VERY SIMPLE.
At a meeting In the Commercial
present asked for more Information
regarding the commission form of
"government. They profess to be un-
uiiunuea us 10 wnai ine commission
form cf government Is and desire fur
ther time in which to investigate.
It Is a very simple proposition and
no one should have difficulty under
standing the general nature of the
plan. To be brief the commission
plan calls for doing away with the
present set of elective officials en
tirely and for creating a commission
composed of a mayor and two com
missioners to do the work now per
formed by the mayor and eight coun
cilmen. Under the commission plan the
mayor and commissioners are given
salaries. It Is argued by those favor
ing the commission plan that the city
should pay its servants. It cannot ex
pect good and faithful service from
them for nothing. In a town such as
Pendleton the salaries would neces-
riv he small for no official would
" have to devote all his attention to hla
public duties. He could manage his
private affairs or business at the
same time. But the mayor and the
commissioners should devote mora
'time to their work than is given by
-nnpald officials.
The three commission officials
would have the same powers with
reference to making ordinances, enforcing-
them and with reference to
the administrative work of the city
government as the present mayor and
eight councilmen. There would mere
ly be three men to do the work ln
stad of nine. The people would
have the right to initiate ordinances
Just as they have now and they could
referendum any ordinance passed by
the conirni.-sioners. Th :y could recall
stiy or all
they chose

Some of those who oppose the com
mission form of government want to
side-track the matter now. They
show fear of the common voter and
Jo not want to give him a chance at
it. They intimate his judgment is not
as reliable as is the judgment of the
property owner.
But that all depends upon the prop-
rty owner. There are some local
property owners who have never
shown much , zeal as town builders.
They are so narrow and so selfish
they would stifle the town and con
vert the whole city Into a deserted
cemetery. It is a notorious fact that
many of those who own good business
property in Pendleton fail miserably
In their civic duties. The merchants
and those who may be termed the
common people of Pendleton do more
for the city than do the landlords.
Do not sneer at the common voter.
He is usually patriotic and his judg
ment Is generally sound.
MEX, XOT IIOODLVMS.
Many favorable comments have
been heard over the fact there was
practically no disorder and no hood
lumism in Pendleton during the
Round-Up. This was due in part to
the good work of the police who took
special precautions to preserve or
der. But the lack of disorder was
due more than anything else to the
class of people who came to see the
Round-Up and participate in it. The
cowpuncher has faults it is true, but
he is courteous to ladies and to strang
ers and people seldom have occasion
to complain of his personal behavi
or. The range produces men, not
hoodlums.

THE SUEZ CAXAL.
It was thirty-five years ago that
the British parliament passed the act
authorizing the Rothscntlds to buy for
4.080.000 pounds sterling the Khe
dive's shares In the Suez canal. It
was a much more Important transac
tion than it appeared to be upon the
surface. Down underneath the deal
it elf lay the astutest diplomacy and
widest statesmanship of one of the
most wonderful men that have lived
In modern times.
That man was Benjamin Disraeli,
Earl of Beaconsfield. It Is to Bea
sonsfield that England owes the fact
of her present day ccupancy of the
land of the Nile. But for Beacons
field's long head and consumate au-
I dacity, it Is morally certain that
I France and not Esgland would be to
day ruling n Egypt.
Benjamin DlrraeU was great In two
way?! yes In three. He was a master
dreamer, he was a clear headed seer
of things as they were, and he had the
courage of his convictions to the ex
tent of eing willing to put his dreams
to the pactical test.
Hence It was that in November, of
1875, nine months before the action
of parliament referred to above, Dis
raeli assumed the tremendous respon
sibility of authorizing the opening of
negotiations looking toward the pur
chase by England of the Khedive's
interest it the Suez canal. It was a
bold thing for a man to do upon his
own personal iniative. So was it a
bold thing for Caesar to cross over
the Rubicon and for Napoleon to
flaunt the orders of the Directory in
his first Italian campaign.
And so, on the strength of h'.s own
private responsibility. Disraeli told the
great bankers to go aheao and buy the
Khedive's shares in the big ditch.
The great statesman saw that if he
got England financially interested In
the canal she would naturally and in
evitably keep her mind on the enter
prise: would, in fact, be obliged to
do so, and he also saw that by and
through these shares in the Suez canul
England would sooner or later be
forced o assume the controlling hand
in Egyptian affairs, economic and po
litical. And the result proved to be exact
ly what the great premier expected It
would be. England had scarcely got
her hand on the cann when Bhe fait
herself obliged to loon after the Khe
dive's financial difficulties. Then he
whole Egyptian money system got out
of order and had to be regulated. Then
came the deposition of the Khedive
and the Suitan and the rebellion and
riots of 1882, foltowed by the mem
orable bombardmen of Alexandria.
The smoke of the bombardment had
hardly vanished when there occurred
the landing of the rtr.tish troops,
which maks the beginning of Eng
land's ocupation of Egypt.
It all came about as a natural se
quel to the purchase of those shares
in the canal.

and Is bothered by no scruples about
ways and means for jieeplnir control
To the slave power tne people and
their rights meant nothing. Slavery-
was the big business of fifty-five and
s!xty years ago, and the men who
managed that Big Busine-s knew that
the only way to save themselves was
to control the government. It Is the
same way with the Big Bus.ness of
today.
When Lincoln proposed to submit
the ouestion of slavery to the people.
Juffer.-on Davis said, "No; majorities j
are seldom right." When it is now j
proposed to give the people a voice l
in their own government by means of
the initiative and referendum and re
call. Big Business says: "No, for that
means government by the mob."
Men who are always dreaming of
mobs are men vho are trying to .get
what does not belong to them. Men
who speak of the people as a "mob,"
are men who are not fit to manage
the affairs of the people. This gov
ernment belongs to the people, not to
any class of the peopio.
Big Business objects to the recall
and the Iniative and referendum be
cause they mean government by the
people for the people. Government of
the people without consent of the peo
ple means political slavery to begin
with and political slavery Is the seed
of Industrial slavery.
The Big Business of slavery had to
be crushed by war. The Big Business
of today w'll be crushed by the inia
tive, referendum and recall.

One day in wandering about they
came upon a little glen they had never

"And what do you call this place "
my friend asked.
"Mystum," replied the old Indian.
Here was a new romantic name
that promised possibilities.
"And why do you call It 'Mystum?'
What does that mean to the red mas?'
"Well, once we saw a big buck, hero
