County Superintendent of Schools.
Tho R eason Why.
A Mr J, K. Phili.M i i a I -ttiv to the Oregonian ayR if the people
desire to elect United Suites senators ''they may obtain it in a consti
tutinnal manner. "
And the Oregonian indorses that statement!
Mr. Hip Vmi Winkle nmy nut know it, but the Oregonian knows,that
the people have ti ied for 2n years to obtain that ric.ht in n clmstitutional
manner and have failed, and will continue to fail art 1 nig a the Standard
Oil co:r:iiny, tlit Express companies, the brewery and distillery truts,
the sugar, lobacj.i and steel trusts and th'i railrn id own the control of
the Ui.ited States senate, and the legislatures in more than one-third
of the states of the union.
The constitution prescribe two method by which it may be
amended. First by the passage of the proposed amendment by two
thirds majority of the house of representatives iu I senate anil its rat
ification by ill legislatures of tbree-fourtln of the stales. Time and
again ha ve the people's representatives in the House passed the pro
posed Hinendin.Mil nrmst un:i nim nisly, only to have the same "killed
and buried" by the trusts' representatives in the Senate. The other
method is n request f 'r such an amendment from the legislatures of
two-thiids of the states, but the trusts own enough politically rotten
states in tlie K ist, such as Ithode Island, Delaware, t'onnecticut, New
Jersey, Maine, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Maryland, West Vir
ginia and others to block that plan. And by. the same token they
block a change in the real c'lara tr of the senate so long as its mem
bers are elected by truH-owne I legislatures Tha only recourse of the
pop!e is for an extra-constitutional method similar to statement No. 1.
Like some of Lincoln's acts in the Civil war, it is a measure justified
by extraordinary cireumwt inces.
Rip Van Winkle Philips went to sleep about 40 years ago and has
awakened ignorant of all that has happened since and forgetful of all
that took place befor. He d.iesn't even know the history of the adop
tion of the constitution. He says there was a reason why it was de
creed thai U. 8. se.i iti.-s sh mi l bj c!i ne;i by the legislatures. Sure
there was a reason, or rather reasons, it was sop thrown to state pride and
to haters of democracy in order o gain votes for adoption of the constitu
tion. The reasons against it were ii it so apparent in those days, but
just because an honest man is trusted with responsibilities, his thieving
offspring should not be given the custody of public funds.
Distribute Sugar
Beet Seeds Free
To propagate smrar beet culture In
Wi.llowa county is the practical plan
formii'iiied linil which will be at
tempted by the Amalgamated Sugar
company during the coming year or
tw, says the La (iraude Observer.
'The time when beet culture in that
county is In he established on a paying
and practical basis varies with the
time required by the O. It. & N. to
complete the railroad into the interior
of tint rleh county. However before
the road has reached its destination
ami becomes a common carrier, the
first ceeds of sugar beet industry In
Wallowa county will have been
planted.
"OlMcersof the company are now In
communication with head officials o
the O. R. & N. company and on the
result of these communications will
depend the exact steps to be taken.
"In the event I hat the branch line
is .not completed this year, X' allowa
farmers will be given nn opportunity
to experiment with sugar beets.
"Representatives of the sugar com
pany will visit. Wallowa next week
and distribute weds gratis to the farm
ers there, instructing and requesting
them to plant the seeds in a tentative
way and should the road not be com
pleted by harvest time, thus shutting
ofFan easy market for the crop, the
growers can feed the crop to stool?,
thus milking the experiment a paying
one in any event "

One of the acts nf the legislature submitted under the leferendum
should, in the judgment of the News Record, receive an overwhelming
majority. That is i he net appropriating $123,000 to the stale Uni
versity. The news that h is gone over the United States that the
faculty of the UniVe sky of Oregon served without pay during October,
November and December, because par'isans of small, sectarian colleges
in one or two ti.wns in the Willamette valley held up the appropriation
for the big stale bclio-t by a referendum petition, has counteracted the
expeiidituifs uf thous mils of dollars used to advertise the material
resource' of the state. The peopls of Missom i, Nebraska, Iowa, Illi
nois, Michiu.m, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakota are in favor of
state instil'Hi ins of higher learning, and 1 k with sns icion at a state
that is niggardly in support of its university. Wisconsin gives
nearly a niilli in a year for maintenance and buildings of its great
university. There is promne of a bigemigratton to the Pacific North
west from Wisconsin, but when the people there read that Washington
gives $500,000 a year for the maintenance and buildings of its university,
or $3i)2 per student; thai Idaho (with one-third the population and
wealth of Oregon) gives Sfl'i'-UoO, or 32a per student, while Oregon
holds up an appropriation of only $125,000, or $208 a student, there
is not much doubt to which sta'e they will come. This, of course, is a
material view of it; there is the other and higher reason for generous
support of education for the improvement of individuals and citizen
ship. How anyone in this day and ago can be opposed to education is
a puzzle too ha-d for the News Record to solve, and it is mighty glad
such persons are few and far between in Wallowa county.

Statement No. 1 U not responsiMe if the- Republicans have not a
K-adcr with the ability and courage of and who possesses the confidence
of the people as does the Democratic candidate f r United States sena-to-.
The fact of the matter is the old machine-made leaders did not
occupy tho r positions because of merit of their own, and when the
primary put the making of leaders into the hands of the voters, those
)-called ' leaders'' shriveled to their natural siz-1, and left the party
leaderless. Bui Republican organs should not bo disheartened. As
soon as the debris of the old machine is politically buried, and the
chuff that arose with the change is blown away, new lenders will come
direct from the people of whom the party will be proud, and who will
be an honor to the state and nation.

Why bo good a newspaper as the Oregnnian deserts the people in
the midst of the battle for popular rights is a mystery. That paper
fights valiantly against bossism and political grafters in California
New Jersey and Squedunk hut f.ivors the same sort of bourbonism in
Cegon. The working plan of direct primary and popular election of
United States senators may not be perfect but it is U;tter to improve
t he machinery than destroy the models. Prineij le should be put
above party at all times
(i rouse, Feb. 12 The snow fall has
been heavy at intervals during the lest

this writing, and good indications fur
tl.eslorm period to cease for the pn-c-cnt.
The winter has been ,nnusiuilly
open and the stock is in much better

out on the brakes and grazed fur tlwir

and teams logging at the saw mill He
hps about 100,000 feet on the yard
which he wishes to duplicate this week.
John M. Silver is run nim; a licrse
power wood saw which is giving good
satisfaction.
J. R. Green was badly hurt recently
while placing a yoke on one of his cows.
The cow threw her head up with great
force and hit Mr. Green in the face,
knocking him down and U-aving 1 im
tmconscioua for two hours. He is im
proving at this time, though his face is
badly bruised and swollen.
Frank Ilerridon was over from the
east side of the Wenatehee canyon and
bought a nice lot of shotes from Joseph
Bosley, and 200 bushel of wheat from
E. D. Silver on the McKinsey ranch.
Frank Harris him! family were over
from the Little Salmon, Saturday and
Sunday, visiting friends at this place.
The school at this place will close

There is continual comrlaining over
the road question on both sides of the
Mate lire, owing Iq the non-eonnection
of the roads. The Wallow i county
road wns extended to the states liiu
several vears ao, and it did not con
nect with any county road on the Wash
ington eid.' of the state line. Now
Asotin county has surveyed and con
structed a county road to the state line
tive-oihths of a mile east of the point
where the Wallowa county road goes to
the Btnte line. J. D. McKinsey owns
the laud on the Washington side and ha
would not consent for the lead to go
through his hud at any price. The
writer r wns the land on the Oregon
side ami agre.nl to give 40 feet for the
road ou the following conditions: Pro
vided the people would make a good 3
wire fence; winch was f greed to. The
wire and posts were bought and laid on
the ground and a good substantial
bridge built across the creek and some
grading was done. The work was sus
pended till the crops could be put up.
l'efore work was to Mart up again some
thief stole the wire and that completed
the job. So as soon us the fences a e
closed in the spring to secure the crops
the passway ia completely b'ookaled.
Above all things let the people in the
raral districts have goixl roads.-
