It should be roped and bog- n-A tsa naxt Round-Uo to keep K from htminr itself to death. The facts, however, show aouunff 01 the sort asserted. They merely snow what everyone knowa. that almost any body in Orefron will sign almost any kind of aa initiative or referendum petition in order to get rid of the can vasser in the easiest and quickest way. Given a week's time, an efficient organ isation and ample funds with which to pay solicitors at the rate of from five to ten cents per name, and it would perhaps be possible to get the required number of signers in Oregon to a bill dispensing with sll of its state institu tions. We know that a few years ago a-sa easy enough to get a sufficient number .of signers for an exasperating referendum bold-op of the general ap propriation bill for their support. e a "Secondly, that Pendleton ia far and away the most desirable place for the location of a normal school for East ern Oregon," ia a banal bit or bal derdash. Weston ia a more desirable location than Pendleton, with far more beautiful surroundings six! with cli mate that ia cooler in summer and warmer In winter. Moreover, as the Pendleton papers and boosters are care ful to avoid mentioning. Weston al ready contains a state school plant em braced within ten acres of ground pre sented to the state by the community. Buildings and grounds have an approxi- mate value of t75,000. In the name of common sense, reason ana economy hy should the people of Oregon be asked to continue the abandonment of 175,000 achool plant at Weston in or der to build a 1125,000 plant at Pendle ton? Jumping Jehooopbat, what a puerile, piffling proposition for Demen tia burg to love itself for making! Pen dleton certainly needs the Eastern Ore- . a a tS A.X gon asylum, it is snowing au ine symptoms of incipient paresis. The East Oregonian'a implication that an Eastern Oregon . Normal would not be auccessf ul it revived st Weston is as fslse as hell. The Weston Norma was the largest in Oregon when abandoned by the state senate in 1909 through the connivance of Pendleton men. With an uncertain income of only 12, 000 a year it had so many non resident students that they overflowed the dormitories and filled a number of outside cottages when the school re ceived its death blow at the hands, in directly, of a then powerful Pendleton politician who thus sought to punish Weston for helping to defeat him for the Oregon governorship. Entirely in nocent and neutral in this and an other political campaigns, the normal achool was nevertheless made to suffer vicar iously for Weston's alleged offenses. The Monmouth Normal receives at this time thrice as much annually in maintenance as the Weston Normal ever received. It asked in addition at the last session for an appropriation for improvements, and got it. We under stand thst it will ssk at the next ses sion for a large sum for an entire new plant, which it will probably get also. The Monmouth Normal is a big and growing school and in every wsy Justi fies its maintenance. The point we wish to bring out is that the Weston Normal would by this time hsve un doubtedly been just as large and just ss useful bad it been accorded similar support.' " The Monmouth Normal is bested in a town no larger than Weston, yet it is most decidedly "a successful institu tion." The leading normal school states of the East, such as Massachu setts, New York and Pennsylvania, distribute many normal schools among as many small towns. . Pendleton is, in fact, too large for a normal school. It offers the student too msny divers ions of doubtful value or propriety. At Weston the non-resident student was and would again be at all times under the immediate surveillance of the fac ulty. Non-resident parents who en trusted their boy to Pendleton's tender mercies would be apt to get him back a sophisticated worldling which would be all right, of course, if they went him thst wsy. ' ! Something is radically wrong, also. with the moral atmosphere of a place that has always ptsUnded a friendly Interest In the welfare of every arc t ion of the county of which It is the teat of government, but whlrh would never theless seek to derive another and In no sense a rival town in the aame coun ty of all hope of regaining an Institu tion which It has 'sweated blood" and expended not lees than ten thousand du&ua ta rUim FvooWton has just aa much and n more riht to eongrat late itself as and than the crafty bunco steerer who has been successful in the first move af a projected coup. Yea. yea. Krother Aktricht Pemile. ton "ia a place that does things and does them right." Our objection is that the Weston Normal is among the things it is trying to do. We are in receipt of a booklet on High Finance by Otto. Kahn of New York, and are willing to admit that he Otto and Kahn tell us all about It. Weaton folk who take the Pendleton dalllee but dispense with their home pa per may be eondeerendlng enough te borrow it, perhaps, to see what it aays in behalf of their home town.' About four years ago Sam Blythe predicted that the great progressive wave would engulf the g. o, p., while we told Sent it would last about aa long aa an ebeee missionary at a cannibal barbecue.

I Uh thruush yeur paper to rail attention te an initiative petition that la helna rlrrutalvd here, Thv imitative HMtura purtmrta te tea-ails the location of the university at Ku ten, the Asrkuliural Colle at I'or vallla, a"i the Monmouth Normal at Monmouth, and In addition It estab. Ilshea a new normal at IVndleton and pre v Idee for He maintenance. I think we may assume that this msAure orlainalse at ivadlnton, that the real Idea It to H t new normal for that city and that the other lnt. tutlnna are broucht In solely with the view of uetBf the fears of the people of Rusene, Oarvellle and Monmouth and f the graduates of their Instttu lions te get votes for the new normal that otherwise could not he arcured. Notwithstanding the obviously log rolling character ef the measure, sir natures are being secured here. It aeema to me the question of whether there should be a new normal at Pen eletoa ousM to be deelded strictly oa the merits ef that proposition. It seems te me not only Immoral, but very poor policy for the frteaoa of lh other Institutions to become partlea to this set ef political aharp practice. In the first place, there la no such thing aa locating a state Institution m that It cannot be removed. The nin est courts of the land nave held that neither the legtslslure nor the people themselves ran In reference to such a matter so tie their hnnrfa that they may not thsreefter art In the matter aa they see fit. Is anyone so wash as to suppose that the people of the stale could do anything at the lilt election that they could not rhanse or annul at a later election?
