The Bryan Policies Commenting upon eventual adoption of many of the policies championed by William Jennings Bryan, Mark Sul livan, special political writer says: IJryan was a iiioneer in several causes, ofwliieh others became belated converts and Instruments of final success. The first In time was the direct primary. Itryan did not invent that. He was rarely an Inventor. But In tills, as In many other cases, he be came an Instant convert when his attention was called to It, The men who, more than any other ones, were tile originators of the direct primary were two whoso names would mean nothinp to the present day public : one a member of the MlnnesoLa legislature in the late '90s; the other a private citizen In Oregon. Mr. Sullivan evidently refers to Mr. U'Re'n of Oregon as originator of the direct primary and direct legislation all of which shows what a superficial student of history the average political correspondent is, for Mr. U'lien did not originate any of the measures he championed. Direct legislation as a method of democratic government was first utilized in the city stales of ancient Greece. The referendum has heen in general use in Switzerland since the Kith century ..and the initiative since .the 14th century. Initiative and Referendum was first adopted in the United States by South Dakota in 1808. Four years later Oregon adopted it and other states followed. Direct legislation was a demand of the Farmers Alliance platform in 1890 and later championed by the Populist party. Cities and districts in the United States have utilized the " referendum over a century. The direct primary idea in the United States was born in 18G0 when the Republicans of Crawford county, Pennsylvania discarded their county convention and chose candidates by a direct election patterned, in methods, after the general elec tion. Other county groups copied the plan and even some congressional districts. In 1899, Minnesota tried the direct primary for the city of Minneapolis and later for the entire state. Michigan followed, then other states adopted it. It is true that Bryan championed revolutionary changes in government since adopted, such as direct primaries and direct legislation, popular election of senators, woman suf frage and prohibition, none of which were contemplated by the founders of the republic and all of which arc contrary to the spirit of the Constitution and destroy its balance, but it is yet to be demonstrated that the nation is the gainer thereby. It ; will require the perspective of history to determine. Enthusiasm of Ignorance v The dispatches inform us that over 200 bass, some of them weighing over five pounds, were saved from death in a pond near Pendleton by the work of members of the Pendleton Rod and Gun Club, who seined the bass out of the diminished waters of the pond. The bass were placed in the Umatilla river. It is presumed that the members cf the rod and gun club congratulate themselves as life-savers having done a valuable work for the propagation and nioloction of nunc fish, but as a matter of fact they "pulled a boner" for while men- Hearts are right, their heads are wrong. The wors ponsiuie ining mat could happen to insure the destruction of trout and salmon is to plant bass in our streams and lakes. If the bass were of the large mouth variety, as they probably were, they will not remain in the swift wafers, but eventually find their wav into (he slnno-lm mill nilini ixlnona feeding upon trout spawn and fry as they go. If they are the umaii mourn uass, they will be at home in the swift mountain streams and eventually exterminate trout and salmon Tim f..l '.,,. -I..- ..... ... . .wwi ntnn miui-ii w ii. wiin i nn nosr n in mi i,u,a are continually upsetting the balance of nature and intro ducing imported varieties of fish where they do not belong uieir presence means the destruction of the superior native varieties are doing as much to ruin angling as any one element.

It was out of the question for hor to mnko the trip home on skis, but Noel had found a sled In a storeroom of the lioiuw and had strapped a wooden chair on It, In which he? made her as com fnrfnhle ns he ttautd.

"Instead of heading toward Ceclle's I've evi dently Koije straight In the opposite lliecllon.

I "Vou'rc the best sport I aver' knew," h told her, pausing a mo mnt to rest, and coming back to stand beside the led. "You're wonder." "Not at ail, but you are," she replied. "If I'd been a strong-mind ed woman I'd have Insisted on stay lug back there in that house while you went for help. Tha prospect of spending a night or two alone there wouldn't have been too much for me. Rut you knew how I felt and brought me along and if h means that we freeze to death why " 'Freeze to death nothing! Why, we're in the heart of civilization, If we only knew It! Urace up, me child! Want to bet that we sight house within the next half hour?" lie went on, doggedly, after that And the half hour wan barely over when they did sight a hou.se, a log cabin that they though at first was Ccclle's. It was nerve alono that took Noel the laM few yards; he could hardly unirtnip. his skis, could hardly see, as he lifted Cyn thia otr the sled, put one arm around her. and helped her up the steps to tho door. "Tlsn't Ceclle's after all but wo won't turn it down because of that," he remarked, banging on the door with the knocker. The door was flung open: they stumbled Into a living room that seemed filled with people. For an Instant Cynthia starod blankly ; then a familiar voice pierced the haze that fatigue and cold had coat over her. Cynthia!" it said. Those disap proving tones how familiar they were! "Cynthia, where have you been? Cecile Malcolm has the whole county out looking for you. We've been frightened to death." Louella rushed forward and caught Cyn thia by the shouldor her lame houlder. The girl's cry of pain made her step back instantly. I think she'd better see a doc- or before you try to question her," Noel remarked, as Cynthia reeled against him. "She's hurt, 'but I don't know how badly. Had an accident in the woods." - Cynthia hardly knew what jfiap poned In tha confusion that fol lowed. Somebody put her to bed, somebody came In .with a strunge man, who was a doctor, and hurt her mercilessly. She could not help wishing for the quiet and peace of the long days ahe had spent along with Noel in the stranger's house. At least . he had not found fault with her. And Lou ella, who was at her bedside', let fall various remarks that were any thing but kindly. She felt too ill to try to imagine what report would be sent to Jim, or what he would eay about It. Would ho ever let her explain, her self? Queerly enough, she dldm't caro whether he did or not. It didn't eem to matter any more what Jim thought. She seemed to have come a long way on a strange road, and now the end was in sight, the right destination for her. She could sink back happily on her pillows and go to sleep, sure that things must turn out right, and very soon. Tomorrow Idfo Grown Stale. RUSSIANS SEEK CAPITALISTS Moscow.

If more girls bad the courage of that little eirl to go through the publicity, young men might he more careful. There are too many little 15 year-old girls almost killing them selves to got out of something that their trust and men's false prom :;l's lead them into. It is too bud the chaperone went out of style. If that youtifi man has to pay the girl $50 a month, It wouldn't be enough to compensate her for the mental and physical suffer ing she had to go through. Being a married woman with a family I can sympathize with her. One who loved not wisely but too well. JANE. Sulem, Or., June 30.

How many drivers are there who do not? He was fined $250 for that. If you were driving with n sweetheatr and have an accident and she he injured, would a jail sentence help you? No, and no one else.
