This week the republicans have again been stealing
democratic thunder, both Roosevelt and Taft having
come out strongly for the direct election of United
States’ senators by the people.
When you see a man blundeiing along trying to do
something he is unable to do but which is familiar to
you, don’t laugh and make fun of him. The exercise
of a brotherly spirit should lead you to kindly explain
to him what to do an1 to assist him.
With the assistance of democrats Taft yesterday suc­
ceeded in getting through the hou3e his reciprocity
measure, but it is hardly to be supposed that he will be
able to make it win in the senate, even bv holding the
axe of an extra session over the members’ heads.
No man is so far from the market as the man who
-has nothing to sell. This applies as well to the mer­
chant who allows hia stock to run down, and finds he
is out of many staple articles when they are called for.
This is one thing that tends to swell the sales of the
mail order houses over which the country merchants
complain so frequently.
The great political sideshow that has been amusing(?)
the people of Oregon at the state capitol for the last 39
days, is now set to ring down it3 curtain at noon next
Saturday. The session proper ends tomorrow, but
the house agreed to keep on a few hours longer by set­
ting back the clock at midnight, and thus endeavor to
in a small degree give the people the benefit of some of
the time that they have frittered away to their own po­
litical ends. We say amusing(?) the people of Oregon,
but the word i3 not used advisedly, for it is not amusing
to our people to see our state funds so extravagantly
thrown away as it ha3 been by these socaHed lawmak­
ers. It has been the costliest session Oregon ever had,
and of the least benefit in every way, yet some will tell
us that such organizations are necessary to make our
laws. The fact is that the expenditure incurred is more
than our thinly populated state is able to stand without
an excessive tax burden, and all will welcome the day
when such improvident bodies of men are relegated to
the past.
ABO LISH S TA T E P R IN T IN G O FFICE.
The enormous expense of the state printing office to
the taxpayer, as well as the fact that the state printer
is making net profits of from $20,000 to $30,000 annual­
ly, is just now of absorbing interest. The Guard be­
lieves that the office should be abolished entirely and the
larger jobs of the state printing let to the lowest bidder.
This plan is followed in Idaho and several other states
and graft in public printing has been practically elim­
inated. In Oregon we believe this course would reduce
the annual printing expense by at least one-half. In
this connection, the best editorial we have seen lately is
from the Dallas Iternizer of last week, which we re­
print.—Eugene Guard.
W H A T DALLAS NEEDS.
Dallas needs better lighted blocks. Other towns are
rapidly doing away with the heretofore shady glims,
and our town should keep up with the procession. When
arc lights every block or two are not enough to throw
sufficient radiance to enable the passerby to see his way
clearly, additional light rhould be installed until there is
good and plenty. Some towns have adopted the arch or
string system of stretching a row of incandescents
across from their business blocks, while others believe
that a cluster of lights on poles from the sidewalk are
the nicest looking. Personally we care not a rap what
system is adopted, so that we get enough light, and the
Iternizer is going to continue kicking until we have bet­
ter lighted business streets. Now comes Mr. J. L.
White, manager of the electric light plant here and of­
fers to install, as a trial, four poles on our main block,
each with a cluster of three lights, the same as is in
operation in front of their downtown office. He has fig­
ured out the cost, and puts it for this block at $1 a
month for each business firm, and surely cheap enough.
The cost of setting the iron poles and wiring for them
¡3 the only sticking point encountered in the arrange­
ment, and it may be that popular subscriptions will have
to be asked for this part of the work. All the firms in­
terested have been interviewed, and all express them­
selves as perfectly willing to pay the monthly cost after
the lights are once installed. Mr. White also suggests
that the county put in a cluster at each corner of the
courtyard square. We interviewed Judge Coad about
the matter this morning and he expressed himself as
ready and anxious as one member of the county court
to do all in his power to assist in beautifying and light­
ing up our city, saying that it surely needed it. He said
the cost would of course enter materially into the prop­
osition, and that until some definite proposition had
been made to the court as a body he could not say def­
initely as to what would or could be done in the matter.
With Main, Mill and Court streets well lighted up, it
would not be long until others would be installed ail
over town. Especially do we need more light at the
postoffice, and we are some day going to get it
