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

are continually upsetting the balance of nature and intro

as any one element. Trout fishing in many a lake, is a thing

of spending a night or two alone
there wouldn't have been too much
for me. Rut you knew how I felt

'Freeze to death nothing! Why,

we only knew It! Urace up, me
child! Want to bet that we sight

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.

To the Editor: I want to write
and let you know how much good
the outcome of that Zieltnekl trial
did me. I d'dn't know there wore
such good laws.
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.

well. JANE.

If you were driving with n
