Mr. Powderly is always practical. His
recommendations to the general assembly
are as practical as Mr. Elaine himself
could make. He advised the knights to
abstain from miscellaneous political agita
tion and to concentrate their efforts upon
at most two great measwress both of
which shall have to do directly with the
general interest of labor.
There is no doubt that the concerted
demand of 500,000 voters for any constitu
tional and prudent legislation would meet
with response from one or both of the
great parties. . Of the two measures pro
posed by the Grand Master Workman
one is but an enlargement of a measure
already passed at the demand of united
labor; the other is opposed by many on
the ground of doubtful constitutionality,
and by more on the ground of its ten
dency towards centralization of political
power. The first is that which nrges the
elevation of the Bureau of Labor to the
dignity of a department of state. Mr.
Powderly thinks that there is at least as
much need of a department of labor as of
a department of war, and he argues very
plausibly in support of his proposition.
The second demand is that the govern
ment should take control of the telegraph
system of the country. But if ot the tele
graph system, why not of the railway
system, why not of all carrying systems,
why not of all manufacturing enterprises?
A great and very liberal statesman once
said that it was the business of govern
ment to make laws and the business of
the people to make bargains, and there
is a great deal of wisdom iu the saving.
The drift of public opinion is towards dis
possessing government of much of the
patronage which it now enjoys, rather
than toward placing a million or so of
new appointments under its control.
But there is need of aholesorae legisla
tion restricting the encroachments
monopolies upon the rights of the masses.
The government has the right to regulate
corporations and monopolies, and to fix
the maximum rates to be charged the
people. This is as far as the interference
of a democratic government should ex
tend into the affairs of individuals or cor
porations.
REFRESHING.
The editor of the Oregonian explains
that bis position is not one of ease, leis
ure, amusement and "dilitanteeism."
It is very kind of the editor to explain
thus to the public. The people of Ore
gon were laboring under the painful hal
lacinatt on that the position of the editor
ot iuo uregonian was a aiiettant one
a l. ...
and that be was a disciple of dilettante
ism (which is not a fish), and they are
more than gratified to be assured that
this was an egregious mistake. There
nothing so refreshing as we go whirling
along in the lightning express of time as to
have the moulders of opinion and the
evolvers of thought to occasionally be
come confidential with the great, sym
pathetic public. It serves to engender
and perpetuate kindly feelings of fellow
snip, iieiore the editor of this great
family newspaper, the Statesman, would
allow the impression to gain currency
that be is a subject of "dilitanteeism,"
he would go to all the people of the state
personally and explain to them that it
was a fake alarm, and only conceived in
the fertile brain of some follower of that
heresy of temperance, prohibition, in his
"crapulent" ravings, or he would publish
a t-ard to the same effect in the "Ne
Northwest," so that all the people could
see that it was a base falsehood.
THE GAMBLING ORDINANCE.
The new gambling ordinance of Mayor
Ramsey, passed by the Salem city coun
cil, is similar to the state law upon the
fame subject, the difference being that
the Salem ordinance is mow specific and
its language plainer and more easily un
derstood, ho sensible person will deny
me evil of gambling, especially upon the
young. No one can persistently gamble
and remain honest. It has a degrading
and demoralizing influence only, and
there Is no argument in favor of the so-
called "profession" of gamblers. They
are non-producers, bloodsuckers and vam
pires, giving no return for the money they
worse than ateal, and lending not one sol
itary vestige of moralizing or upbuildimr
influence to the community. They im
poverish financially and morally. Thev
should therefore be suppressed and their
thieving business broken up. If this law
is enforced it will have this effect. Let
those who wish to play carda go to their
homes and indulge their inclinations.
and getontof sight of the yoong men
and boys. Salem has no use whatever
for gamblers. It is no encroachment
upon personal liberty to forbid a part of
the commnniiy to rob another part.
The States wishes to mt itself on
record in favor of the enforcement d th
dog law. Let the dogs keep their places
in society, or abbreviate their tails just
behind the ears.
A man may be able to paint a town
red from end to end, and yet possess
none of the cardinal virtues. This is
respectfully referred to the Portland Daily

A Methodist minister in a southern city
on a recent Sunday preached a sermon in
bitter denunciation of the stage and its
people. At the close of hit remarks aa
opera singer rose from her place in the
congregation and indignantly denied the
troth or justice of the ministerial judg
ment. Naturally there was a good deal
of excitement, especially as the church
seemed to be pretty equally divided in its
support of pastor and singer. The ser
mon was not an unusual incident. A cer
tain class of clergymen, well disposed,
perhaps, but painfully narrow in their
unreasoning prejudices, have an over
zealous fondness for preaching invectives
against the stage, the one subject of which
these self-sufficient censors know least,
and which they generally are most in
capable of discussing temperately. The
public is accustomed to this no longer
heeded species of pulpiteering unheeded
for the simple and sufficient reason that
the people addressed are vastly better in
formed respecting the theater than is the
expounder of really harmless vagaries
who offers to instruct them.
It is not often, however, that the dilap
idated scare-crow startles into audible
protest one of the children of Belial it is
intended to terrify, and it is not often a
shrewd, clever-witted woman has the op
portunity to convert an assault upon her
profession into such an admirable adver
tisement for herself. It was this im
promptu and very excellent speech of the
singer that gave unusual notoriety and
importance to the utterance of a pastor
attempting to discipline his refractory
flock. The episode will, however, serve
as sn excuse for reviewing a tedious and
senseless, because misdirected, contro
versy. It may be admitted that it is the
privilege of the clergy to wage an old
war against a modern institution, employ
ing arguments that are no longer applica
ble, citing conditions long ago eliminated
from the problem. Certain minds are so
organized that they can never outgrow
an early conceived prejudice, and are
not constituted to balance wisely the two
elements of a pioposition. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes described for us a kind of
men who think they think, but who really
do no more than ruminate a commonplace
as a cow chews her cud. These men mis
take hay for new grass, and revolve dryly
but contentedly that from which the sun
shine of luminous, candid thought long
before absorbed the juice.
However sincere snd earnest the opera
singer in her impulsive rejoinder to cler
ical strictures upon her profession, her re
marks were based upon a false premise,
the SHRicnption that the stage needs
champions. The great majority of edu
cated, thinking people in this day deem
it no mors necessary to defend the stage
as a phenomenon of society and a factor
of civilization than to defend the press or
the church itself. They discern evils in
all departments of life, and are aware
that the stage, which cannot be better
than the society it represents, has its
weaknesses and vices, its deplorable ex
cesses snd repreheneible shortcomings in
common with other institutions inspired
and controlled by erring humanity. They
also pfveive that the stage has many
virtues, nuble qualities, high purposes,
furthered by men and women of pure,
blameU3 lives; and the candid, judi
cious examiner of existing conditions, ad
mits without hesitancy that the good ef
fects greatly more than counterbalance
evil influences for the reason that whn
we sfwak of the stage we do not have in
mind th degraded and degrading dens
and resorts that have no closer relation
to the theater proper than African orgies
to the Christian religion.
vice has no limitations. The stage
has sot immunity from it; nor has any
other staie of society. But it is the de
duction of Ignorance that the stage offers
freer fedUttes for the growth and devel
opment otvice than many of the less con
spicuous conditions of life and livelihood
into which weak natures may be cast. It
were as wise to demand the total suppres
sion of the press because the news col
umns reflect the iniquities of society, or
to clamor for the destruction of our great
commercial houses because some of their
employes are immoral, or to insist on clos
ing the churches because there are erring
pastors and unchaste members, as to in
terdict the theater because all players are
not saints and all plays are not missionary
The editor of the Drain, Douglas county,
fcebo" claims that he does not own a
drugstore, and no one in connection
with the Echo owns a drug store, or any
interest in a drug store. But a gentleman
of Douglas county tells us that there is a
drug store somewhere in the Echo family.

it made the statement that be does.

reflect credit upon the
intc - ince o! the people of ibia state.
The theories' of socialism and of prohi
bition are twin theories, both frauds in
practice. The one theory seeks to' vest
all ownership of all forms of property in
the government to destroy individuality
and ambition to put all people upon a
dead level of equality to make the strong
and ambitions support the weak and In
dolent; the other theory of prohibition
tends to place an manner of law, of
power, of authority in the bands of the
government to destroy individual action
to discourage individual choice and
tastes to create aa autocracy of tyran
nical power of the state. Both theories
are undemocratic. Both are unreason
able. They are the products of diseased
and biased brains. They do not stand
the test of experience. Tbey presume
upon an unnatural state of affairs. They
deal only with the superficial and theoret
ical, They stay up in the clouds, and
never get down upon the level of prac
tical humanity. Prohibition is no better
than anarchy or socialism. It is no more
practical, no more reasonable.
Herr Most is as good a man as St.
John.
He is as honest, as practical. Both are
mercenary bigots. That government
governs beet which governs least, and it
may be added which owns least. The
Statesman is down upon monopolists
of power, down on monopolists of all
kinds. Such little podsnsps as the small
calibred prohi preachers of Oregon, who
furnish very good tails to the prohibition
kite, are objects for the contempt and
pity of such material as forms the great
mass of practical, thinking men, able
ministers, lawyers, judges, merchants
and business men and farmers and me
chanics. It will be indeed a sorry state
of affairs when the great mass of reason
able, practical, thinking men allow these
imported and transient quidnuncs, these
little hobby horse fellows, with minds fed
on the dry husks of senseless, insipid
theories, these smart Alecks of morality
to dictate to them what tbey shall eat
and drink and wear, to be the sumptuary
censors of the state.
What a pleasant thought !
But the time will never come in Ore
gon.
Mcltkomar county is not a good place
for murderers and assassins. Justice is
swift to follow the crime, and the law's
delays are few and short. Wm. Dillon's
victim has been dead but nineteen days,
and the jury has found him guilty, after
a fair and speedy trial, of murder in the
second degree. In these days of perver
sion of the law, it is pleasant to contem
plate an example of speedy punishment
for a dastardly deed. Portland News.
That is a pretty good record, but if Justice

for the graduation of Dillon as a first

that we could never afford to elect too

I think the American people would now
like at least to try the experiment and
see if the country would be ruined by
electing our brainiest and most talented
man to the presidency."

EAKXEBA AND PROHIBITION.
A farmer has no more business being a
prohibitionist than a Henry George so
cialist. The Henry George socialist
wants the men who own the land to pay
all the taxes for the support of the "gov
ernment, and the hardshell prohi, in the
event that bis theories are adopted, will
run the county in debt with malicious
and, other worse than useless prosecu
tions, until the land will not bring in
enough to pay the taxes, which is about
as bad. The farmer who votes for prohi

claim that it is enforced at all, to Kansas
snd to Iowa. You are also reminded
that the three last states which have
voted upon this fraud, prohibition, this
beresy of temperance, Michigan. Texas
and Tennessee, have emphatically re-
pudiated the quack theory. It remains
for Oregon to do her duty in denying the
dictation of imported theorists and hired
agitators.
THE ALLEGED FAIR.
The Portland papers have at different
times demanded that the State fair be
held in Portland, because that city has
such splendid kotel accommodations, be
cause the restaurant and hotel men of
Salem raise their prices during fair time,
etcetera. For these very same reasons,
the Mechanics' fair should be held in
Salem. The hotel and restaurant men of
Salem are content to make a slight raise
upon their prices, and some of them do
not raise at all ; but tbey charge $1.50 for
a 50 cent room in Portland, while the al
leged Mechanics' fair is holding forth,
and most every thing else is in propor
tion. The Portland people are robbing
the people of the Willamette valley and
all others who attend their, show of ad
vertising samples. It should be removed
to Salem, closer to where the people who
attend it live ; but come to think about
it, Salem don't want it. The drummers
who daily come here bidding for Salem
trade, bring along to show as samples
about all that can be seen at the alleged
Mechanics' fair, and Salem would net
want to impose upon visitors so. If she
had such an institution as this she would
call it the "annual advertising show," or
"suckers' resort,"or the "great American
chestnut exhibition," or something ap
propriate. We will admit that Portland
tried to build a big hotel awful hard, but
the movement got stuck in the moss that
grows so luxuriantly upon the back of her
enterprise, as it were ; and we would sug
gest that her newspapers say no more
about Salem having no hotel accommo
dations. Visitors to Salem can see more

MAKE A DRIVEWAY.
There should be a nice driveway be
tween the penitentiary and asylum.
People who drive out there now are com
pelled to open three gates between these
two institutions, or to diive a mile or
more around.
It was the idea of Governor Moody and
the other state officials contemporary
with him to make a handsome driveway
between the penitentiary and asjlaa,
and, looking to that end, maple trees
were set out slong either side of its pro
posed route. It would be a source of
pleasure and pride to the citizens of R.
I lem, and of great accommodation to visit
ors snd employes of those institutions, to
have the plan of the old state officers car-
ried out. The cost would be slight, as
object, with confidence that they will
see to the matter soon.
