Annual Meeting.
(Continued from first iasc.
article, and that they would donate
the material for the monument.
He advocated the resolutions.
The resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted.
W. P. Winans offered the fol fel fol
eowing: for funds for the Whitman monu-1
Resolved. That trie canvassers
ment be presented bv the corres
ponding' secretary of the Pioneer
and Historical Society with two
subscription papers, to be pre
sented to each donor of fund-?, on
which the donor -be requested to
designate his or hrr choice ofloca-tionfor-thc
monument, whether
upon the grounds of the Whitman
Mission, or the grounds of the
Whitman Seminary.
The resolution was adopted and
the meeting adjourned."
During the 21st canvassers were
appointed in accordance with the
4th resolution, three ladies and
three gentlemen, Hon. R. R. Rees
. and two other gentlemen, Mrs.
" Judge C. 31 Wingard ancbfO other
ladies, to canvass the city and
vicinity for funds for tlie monu
ment, and to deposit them in bank
subject to the order of the Treas
urer of the Pioneer and Historical
Society "of Oregon.
Your Secretary received from
0. & M. C. Moore the following
note relative to the granite for the
monument, herewith presented:
On the evening of the 21st your
agent took passage to the North
Pacific junction of the railroad,
near old Fort Wallula. On the
22nd readied Ainsworth and ex
amined the granite blocks from the
" Moore or Granite" Point ledge
procured a specimen of the rock
for the inspection of the Society,
and found the blocks for the pro
posed bridge wouldbeofMifficient
size for the monument.
1 arranged with the agent of the
N. P. Co.," Mr. Fa rweatlier, to in
form vour .-mont as to the cost of
" quarrying the rock, which I learned
incidentallv would not be to ex
ceed ten cents per cubic foot for
the amount required.
I received a pass from the agent
to the Junction, and reached Port
land on April 21th, on a pass from
Walla Walla and return, from the
agent of the company.
' On the 27th I called on Mr.
Muir, Superintendent of Traffic,
and received from him the follow
ing communication in reference to
freight on grauite for monument.
The, terms were quite satisfactory.
The JSIost Important.
As the days go by and the time
draws near that decides the politi
cal complexion of our state gov
ernment for the next four years,
the usual amount "of crimination
and re-crimination, of charges and
counter-charges fiilsthecolumns of
the party press, and while no de
nunciation is too severe for those
candidates who happen to lie on
the opposition ticket, no laudation
is too gre.it for those who 'stand
on the "platform supported by the
partisan paper. Alternately spat
. tcred by foes and slobbered by
friends, the e.indidato ii made to
feel that his way, like that of the
transgressor, is hard, and he must
sincerely high for tiie eve of elec
tion, that his troubles mavbe over
and he be out of his misery, one
way or the other.
In our. humble opinion, the
question of whether Moody or
Smith shall be our governor for
the next four years is entirely sub
ordinate to the more important
question of who shall be our rcp-
resentatives'and state senators to
legislate for this commonwealth,
and to elect two United States
senators. Time was when state
sovereignty was more of a cardinal
principle in politics than it now is;
that the state officials were most
important persons, and were, in
their several jurisdictions,of almost
equal importance with the presi
dent himself. But we arc now a
nation a word that a good many
of us spell this way, NATION
with all' that that implies. Far be
it from us to take one jot away
from the tremendous dignity that
encircles astate official, or attempt
to dim a rav of effulgence that
emanates from the aujrust
lorm ot a governor or secre-
5j5rrtSireasurer' kutj with all
.due knowledge of the tremendous
power they can sway, they after
all are but men that havo the ex
ecutive branch at their command,
while the legislative side of the
political triangle is of more potent
effect in determining the relative
value of the other two.
Our legislatures, state and
national, occupy at present an
anomalous position. Originally
created as a medium between the
people and the rulers, transplant-
nA onrl mnrlifiprl in ATnorinn crdl 1
and entrusted with powers morflj.
than commensurate with their re-.
' '
sponsibility; the legislature which'
originally was the bulwark of
popular liberty is now generally
left to questions of its own prerog
ative, and falls an easy prey to
unworthy and designing men.
No wonder that political bosses
abound when such plastic matei ial
as the average legislator is ready
to be moulded, as the impress of
promise or coin may stamp his
yielding clay to the form of the
seal that the master wears upon
his finger. In general, the meet
ing of a legislature is regarded
with apprehension by many well
minded people, and its final ad
journment deemed worthy cause
for public thanksgiving in churches
by those who feel that however
bad the record was, it might have
been worse, therefore we should
be merry of heart that greater
evil was happily averted.
As a general thing a legislator
when he gets to the state capital
thinks that he has got to "do. some
thing" right away. He is sent
there bv a constituency that he
fears may look upon him as tfiey
would on :i carpenter or painter to
whom they pay so much a. clay,
and he must begin earning his
money. It is a delusion that is
shared by both electors and elect
ed, and is injurious to the welfare
of the state. It does not follow
that movement is progress, nor
that fussy agitation is of benefit,
though many legislators, present
and prospective, seem to think so.
It is indeed, a grave temptation,
to have the power to play the part
of a bull in a china shop; indeed
to be tacitly under promise to so
play havoc and smash things, and
yet restrain the natural propen
sity of proud man to tear down,
by reflecting that in clearing the
deck for action it is never wise to
fling overboard indiscriminately
material that may come handy
in the fight that is to follow. Then
again, matters of policy and ques
tions of private consideration come
up that arc best disposed of by
the tact that nature grants or edu
cation endowb the individual.
Taking into consideration all the
mamtolu lmperlections ot poor
human nature, the better plan"
would seem to be in choosing the
most responsible man on the ticket,
the candidates for legislative
honors to vote for the men that in
the judgment of the sovereign
elector has business -ability, com
mon sense, and has enough g.od
intention about him coupled with
the ability to carry out said intent
to do what lie believes to be for
the best interest of the state as a
whole. But of the three branches
of our republican form of govern
ment, the executive, judicial, and
legislative, the last named in this
era of our country's history, is the
most' important, and should be so
regarded by the thousands who
hold in their hands the future of
the state and nation.
