TRIUMPH OF THE PEOPLE.
The second analysis of the vote In Oreem on the 19 Initiative and
referendum measures by Eastern papars, especially the national week
lies and magazines Much as Collin, the Outlook and others of that class.
Is very favorable both to the oj-te.n and to the voting by the Oregon
electorate.
The first criticisms were mainly based on reports and comments in
such hostile Oregon papers as the Oragonlan. Now that the Eastern -editors
are reviewing the election from the official returns, ' the tune has
changed from sneers to praise.
The June election was not only a great triumph for the initiative
and referendum but a greater one for democracy compared to repres3ii
tatlve government. Any unbiased man who knows of the work of the
legislatures will testify that the vote of the people showed more care
ful study mid discrimination than theproduct turned out in state capitals.
THE DENVER CONVENTION.
And now the dispatches Bay nothing sensational will be allowed tc
happen at the Danver convention. Mr. Bryan will be nominated on the
first ballot, the platform will contain "moderately radical" trust-busting
aiiti-lnjunctlon, railroad rate regulation, tariff revision planks, but nothing
to scare anybody, not even the most timid Wall street gambler.
It begins to loak as If the campaign would be one of men and no
Issues. If the cut and dried program is adopted at Denver, the differ
ence between the Republican and Democratic platforms will be the dU
fereuce between twiddle Jum and twiddledee.
However it Is safest to not forecast too much In politics. All the
wiseacres or bo:h parties believed as late as April, 189G, the issue that
full would bo the tariff and nothing but the tariff. Was It? If we remem
her rightly the subject of free silver was sometimes mentioned during the
summer and fall of 1896.
So it is safest not to prophesy. Even if no "paramount issue" i;
evolved, just wait and see the wonderful difference in the two 'platforms
the party orator will discover along about next October.
INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECHES. rp r" r i
The spread eagle Fourth of July speech is out of date. . The Americar
people have outgrown childish things and no longer sit unblushing while
their many virtues, as well as their ability to whip any two or thre
effete European nations, are shouted into their ears by a red-faced, per
spiring human windmill. That was the favorite Fourth of July recreatio
during the thirties and forties of the last century that and drinking hard
cider, ginger beer, and eating ginger cookies. -, Charles Dickens after lit
first visit to the United States in the forties, caricatured in Martin Chun
zlewlt, that national trait of bombast and self-praise, and aroused a atom
-of Indignation and abuse. Liar was among the least of the epithets ap
plied to him by American newspapers and orators: We see thlag
1 more clearly now and know that allowing for the usual Dickens exag
goratlon, he told the truth.
There wus a style of Fourth of July speech in use just before the
period of bombast that It would be well to revive. Independence Da-
orators during the first half-century
meaning of the liberty that was won by the Continental army. Wha
was self government and why? In those days the enemies of govern
ment by the people were without, but It was clearly recognized by Je
! ferson, Madison and John Qulucy Adams that it was not the machlner;
or form of government that was vital. They said If our represanta
lives were corrupted by agents of the enemies of the Republic, we wouh
cease to be self-governing.
Today danger of corruption of our representatives by a foreign pow
r or Is past, pr, so .remote as to ba unworthy of concern. It Is a notoriou
f!!!?.V.h.0.?.er,.t.!,at l'resentatives in many Instances, perhaps a majority
no longer represent the people, but some special Interest. If that is tru
and It Is not even denied, wo.ild not a little more government by the peo
pie and less . by "representatives," be correctlVe? We have tried I
honHu Oregon and so far no man can trulUfully ay It has not worke
well. '-, .. ' r
What Is the true meaning of self-government? Is It a form or a
substance? 1'orhaps those subjects would be appropriate for the prei
out-day Fourth of July orators.
.... ; .
WHICH SHALL IT BE?
The recent making-over of the News Record office Into as complete
ly uuulpped and up-to-date printing office as is found in Eastern Or.gan
represents the publishers' faith la Enterprise and Wallowa county.' Tin
davits at hand when this grand country Is going to step Into Its own
to the head of the column of proud counties in Eastern Oregon, wher
our, rtspurcs of agriculture, live stcck. mining, timber and factory powe
entitles us. If two linotype machines are required In Union county, tha
has hut -10 per cent more people and less than one half the resources o
Wallowa: cannot, the latter arford one llnotvpe? The answer to that I
this;
To do the.bou work, the best of workmen need the bet of IodIs
Heretofore thousands of dollars worth of printing has been bought ever.
' year outside the county, not because of Inferior workmen at home, but
because those workmen Jacke t the tools. The News Record has pro
vided the tools, and Is prepared to do any work In the printing llu.
that Is required. t has no fer of the financial result ir only the inoi
heretofore sent, to Portland and elsewhere for printing. Is spent here ti
the county. The quality of the work Is guaranteed equal to the be an
: the prices right'. It Is simply a question of keeping the' dolars a
home where we all get another chance at them, or kissing the goddess
"on our' dollars goodbye forever and sending .them to Portland.

JULY 2
of our national life dwelt upon the
CHANGE OF COUNTY OFFICIALS.
The la3t July change of ' county
officers In Oregon .takcj place uexl
Monday. Hereafter the biennial trana
fer will be made on the first Monday
In January following the elect! jn in
November.
Naturally the retiring office s." like
a mere man at a wetlding,- cnid l.i
for slight notice. All eyes are fixii
upon tne new "powe.-s-that-be." Ho-v
ever, in Wallowa county taere ar
men leaving office who can look
back with pride upon duty well pe.
formed even if that performance ha:
urought upon them moie or less po.
ular disfavor. The whirligig of tim
will right all that and they wl.l prob
ably live to hear themsalves cltai
as models for succeeding officials
That good luck and prosperity ma,
attend them In private walks of llf
is certainly the wish of the majorit.
of the people of this county.
No less hearty or sincere are th
wishes for the success In o.'Iice o
the new officials. Honored by tlu
confidence of their fellow cl.izsns. 1
is only reasonable to believe the
will be true to the trust reposet 1
them, and work as diligently anl I'
telllgently for the best Interests o
the county as they would for thai
own.
The new court is certainly S3'tin,
a good example by equipping t.iem
selves at their own expense for tli
most important task before thm
building a court house at the least
jost necessary' to provide for a
itructure adapted to the nee s of the
county.
No town now-a-days enjoys rapid
growth from, wholly natural causes.
Transportation facilities, railroad
i'ate3, arbitrary decisions of capi.ai
o manufacture here or theie as it
-villa, all are vital factors that Inter
ere with the law of development In
iccortlaiice with natural resauriies
Over and above all, however. Is tue
luality of citizenship. Are they
alive or sleeping? Are they wl ling
o sink personal gain by sacri i.-e of
he town's Interest, for the broa lei
lew of what Is best for all Is bes.
.'or each In the long run. That spirit
md organization accounts for much
f the difference In the up-bul d n?
jf towns. Youthful denial mate.i
.usty manhood.
Baseball Is the greatest sport in
.he world. Forty millions of trous
3red Americans look eagerly' each
nornlng for "the score." . It wlii
ive always. Anti-betting laws wll
jnly strengthen It, for touch basebali
-vllh gambling and you spoil the
;ame for Its devotees. Youth and
nanhood must have recreation. Base
mil is the ideal recreation. Support
.t liberally by business methodsut
;eep It clean from the taint of bet
.lng and the people's pastime will pa.
oack In pleasure, hea.th and tern
,)erance a hundredfold.
