THE DOG.
Be kind to the dog, man's firm-
est friend;
Don't let him. shiver outside
in the cold;
He may save you some time
from a watery end,,
His worth may be greater
than silver or gold.
It makes my heart ache to see
a dog starved,
Or driven outside to sleep
through the long night:
His name may deserve on a
stone to be carved,
He will be your protector fi
you treat him Just right.
Don't kick him around when he
gets in your way,
Nor think him a nuisance nor
call him a pest;
If he happens to bite you, re-
member he may
Have a reason for thinking it
is all for the best.
Lillie II. Drews.
There are other places than Pen
dleton where the electric trust is
more or less in disfavor and where
people are seeking to better con
ditions. The Dalles, Xorth Yakima
and Pasco are examples close to
home. Down in the south the city
cf Atlanta, Georgia, is having a set-
to with the trust and in commenting
on the situation the Atlanta Constitu
tion recently declared itself as fol
lows:
"Tlie commission and representa
tives of the city are hereby pledged
The Constitution's aid in seeing that
every feature of the electric supply
problem In Atlanta is brought into
full light.
"The complaint of the city alleges
that exorbitant charges are being
made for light and power.
"The electric trust must show cause
for these charges; they must be
sliced to the scale asked by the city
If, as now appears probable, that
scale is well founded.
"The second city in the south, At
lanta Is paying more In proportion
for light, power and transportation
than the majority of municipalities of
her Importance in the country.
"This condition cannot last. It will
uncorrected, grow worse as the city
expands. It will act as a positive
detriment to the city's growth, sine?
a plentiful and -cheap supply of elec
tricity is indispensable to the con
tinuation of that growth."
The complaint seems to be general
It is reported that President Tuft
lias "bluntly told his campaign man
ager, Congressman McKinloy, to de
sist all controversies of a personal na
ture with Roosevelt supporters." Then
upon what ground will the Taft fight
be waged? Will it be necessary for
McKinloy to confine himself to show
ing that the people are not fitted
for self government?
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
When the reclamation engineering
heard was here and, prior to that time
we heard much regarding the possi
bilities of flood Irrigation through
use of the waters of Birch and Mc
Kay creeks. It was said that If tin;
government would but allow of It a
vast acreage adjoining Birch creek
could be made productive. The en
gineers were implored not to use all
the water on land belonging to the
"Swifts, the Ladds and the Hills"
but to allow upper river settlers to
have some of it.
The government has followed .that
advice. The West Extension was cul
down in size, as It should have been,
so ag to permit primarily of more
irrigation on the upper river. But
thus far the East Oregonlan has
I'.arned of no new irrigation schemes
in this vicinity, though one is pro
pose! near Echo. Are the land own
ers along Birch and McKay creeks
H'ting to allow the opportunity to pass
iir.d return to their slumbers?
Where now is the Umatilla county
wateniBers' association which work
ed so vallently for the upper river
rights?
Where now are the officers of that
rOU OHM) PROTECTION.
One of the very best arguments ad
vanced for equal suffrage Is that giv
ing the ballot to women tends to pro
mote good legislation relating to wo
men and children. There is need of
leei.slation protecting the rights of
women and the welfare of children
There is need for the enforcement o
such laws after they are enacted.
If we are to believe so eminent an
authority on children as Judge Ben
Lindsey of Denver, then equal suf
frage is an aid to the child. "Colo
rado has the sanest, the most humane,
the most progressive, most scientific
laws relating to the child to be found
on any statute books in the world,"
Judge Lindsey is quoted as saying.
And Colorado has long been an
equal suffrage state.
It is significant that most of our
auto accidents occur at street cor
ners. It often occurs an autoist is
in doubt what a pedestrian will do
and the party on foot is uncertain as
to the 'automobiles intentions. There
fore the need of caution.

of
Missouri Writer Defends Recall
Jmljics and Decisions.
Pendleton, Ore., March 13.
Editor East Oregonian:
I have read a good deal In the mag
azines of the recall of judges and
court decisions but have seen noth
ing anywhere on this subject so terse
ly and sucinctly, to my mind, written
as is given in the subjoined letter ta
ken from a little weekly paper print
ed in a little city of less than 2000,
which 30 years ago was my trading
point. A. KL'PPE.
Shall tilt- People Rule.?
Editor of Torch ight:
Dear Sir Certainly from the tone
of an editorial, in last week's Issue
of the Torchlight, you have been mis
informed, or for some reason havu
made a misconception of Mr. Roose
velt's attitude regarding the recall of
the judiciary.
If you will look over Mr. Roose
velt's Boston speech, I believe you
will agree with me that his propos
als apply only to .the legislative acts,
which the courts declare unconstitu
tional. The benefits derived from what is
known as the recall of judges, as I
understand it, i when a court de
clares laws made by the legislature
unconstitutional, it simply gives the
people a right if they desire to avail
themselves of that right to ascertain
for themselves, whether or not the
court is right.
Courts have repeatedly defeated
the aroused moral sentiment of a
whole, commonwealth, by the abuse
of the power to declare laws uncon
stitutional. The courts have become
a law making instead of a law enforc
ing agency. And any man that can
conscientiously criticise the recall of
a court decision, when they declare
laws made by the people through
their representatives unconstitutional,
certainly does not believe that the
people are capable of self govern
ment. The courts are but servants
of the people delegated with power
from the people, but not parted with
by the people and no servant is great
er than his master.
We do not part with our power
delegated to our representatives in
the legislature and why should we
from the gentlemen on the bench?
Under that wise rule known as the
initiative, referendum and recall, if
our legislature fails to make such
laws as a majority of the people deem
for their best interests and progress
of their commonwealth, It leaves the
way open so that the people may act
themselves.
How often have the several states
tried to eradicate themselves of cer
tain abuses by monopolies, and after
several years of litigation in the
courts which has cost the people
thousands of dollars, only to meet a
federal Injunction or some judge de
claring the law is unconstitutional? Is
a judge such" a dignified and sacred
creature that it would be impossible
for him to accept a bribe, or do any
thing wrong? They may have wings,
hut I am "from Missouri."
You say we had just as well do
away with our courts and submit all
litigation to the people. I Just as well
say that we do away with our legis
lature and if the people through their
representatives in the legislature are
not competent of making laws to gov
ern themselves and the constitution
ality of such laws must be determin
ed by a Judge regardless of the al
ready expressed will of a majority of
the people's chosen representatives,
then I say we had as well abolish our
legislative form of government and
let the courts make the laws to suit
themselves and administer them ac
cordingly. No doubt that kind of
law making devise would bo popular
in Russia, but J cannot believe it the
popular attitude of the American people.
. Thomas Jefferson said that this
was a government of the people, for
the people and by the people. Then
an expressed will of a majority of the
people should rule. If a court Is del
egated with power by the people to
do good deeds then the people should
not part with their power to recall
their bad deeds. If that court! dele
gated with power by the people tells
you that you have no power to recall
his acts, then that pervant has grown
wiser than his master and, as I have
said before, no servant is greater
than his master.
Very respectfully yours,
JOHN FRANKLIN.
Shelbina, Mo., Mar. 4th 1912.
A BALANCER.
In a Fpeech at Columbus yesterday
Bryan brought out a point worth
considering in connection with the
recall of the Judiciary. He said that
a judge that would be swerved by
fear of the recall would not he fit for
his place anyway. I( might also he
said that if there is a Judge who is
fearful of the people that fear In all
probability no more than offsets the
fear he also has of those who stand
for Interests opposed to the general
welfare. The recall balances the affair.
