With tho school for the blind
leading and the restoration of capi
tal punishment trailing, all the meas
ure on the ballot prevailed at the
recent primary election. .Roads and
school won out by an overwhelming
vote. The general result was the
most conclusive endorsement of di
rect legislation we have yet wit
nessed In this state. Overcoming the
inclination to vote "no" drilled in to
them in past elections when many
measures of doubtful merit were
submitted, the voters voted "yes"
when such a vote was properly in
dicated on every measure except that
of capital punishment, perhaps,
which was question more

The Crook County Journal, Guy La
follette, publisher, has become
a semi-weekly. The Journal is well
edited and enjoys a liberal patronage.
Having nominated Miss Grace Gil

crats of Umatilla county are going,
b'gosh, to re-elect her.
Again reverting to tha "Mexican
situation," that of president appears
to be quite consistently and unpleas
