X Even though the ideas expressed in the editorial page may not al ways be right, yet they are ideas, and as such certain to provoke dis cussion. and discussion means enlightenment, and a fter all that is the true vocation o f a newspaper. The editorial page should make people think. To think is neces sary i f we are to preserve our liberties and advance our civilization. Arguing thus, the editorial page is a necessity and should be main tained at as high a standard as possible. ask A person who never makes up his mind to anything at least saves the trouble o f changing it.

Its news columns are also to do a thing they would never have Lister to remove Mrs. McMahon and quite likely shorn of all items that might offend.

It hasn’t fire enough to be of any use even for kindling. Of what value is such a paper? It is better to be cussed than not to provoke any discussion what ever. It is better to always be with the minority, than to stand for nothing. No paper that is always with the majority can claim credit for bringing about new aud better Conditions. More than ever also is the newspaper coming to recognize tne rights of its readers to discuss public questions upon its editorial poge, whether or not the opinions agree with the editorial policy of the newspaper it self. Readers are also learning to take advantage of this right of theirs and not infrequently is a newspaper downed in itsown columns by some correspondent. The Sentinel wishes more of its readers would take ad vantage of this privilege. The only requirements are that the letters be intelligent, be as brief as possible, be on some subject of public import, that they be neither abusive, silly nor trivial, and that the editor have the privilege of correcting grammatical and orthographical errors. OREGON’S GRAND OLD WOMAN. j^ * v H O S E W H O F IN D fa u lt with conditions that seem unfair to them, ^ j who complain of unequal opportunities against which they can ^ " ^ n o t hope to rise, who are discouraged because of the indifference of the world to things which to them seem most vital, can find inspiration in the career of Abigail Scott Duniway, Oregon’s most famous suffragette Coming to the Oregon wilds as a little tot, suffering the privations of the early pioneers, educating herself against the greatest odds, bearing children under trying circumstances, later becoming a leader in a move ment that at first evoked only sneers and jibes, opposing her ideas against those of her able and talented brother,- Harvey W. Scott, she stands today at nearly eighty years of age a character whom the most ambitious might proudly hope to emulate. With a mind as clear as a bell, with a command of the English language that speaks for the perseverance of her early years, with a commanding personality, a magnetic presence, erect, unostentatious and deferential, she is indeed Oregon’s Grand Old Woman, in every way worthy the name. Those editors who heard her address at the recent convention may well doubt which is the weaker sex. HOW TO VOTE. years and eleven days.

MEASURES to be passed upon by the people at the coming y J election are of such importance that no mistake should be made by electors in marking their ballots. It is highly important that the final result shall be an honest expression of the will of those who go to the polls. It would be almost a calamity if any of the measures should fail of a favorable vote through misunderstanding of howto vote. Even those favoring the measures do not wish favorable action through misunderstanding. There will be votes cast just the opposite of that desired unless considerable misunderstanding is corrected. So let it be plainly stated that voting upon a measure that has been referred is exactly the same as if it had been initiated. The question is not upon sustaining the referendum, but whether the measure shall become a law. Therefore, if you wish any of the measures to become law, vote yes. I f you wish to defeat them, vote no. A majority of yes votes carries a measure and it becomes a law. A majority of no votes defeats it. Be careful of your ballot.

San Francisco.—For five years W il The Sentinel believes that there is developing a class of editorial a week or two after it took place. writets who are not deterred from expressing editorial opinions merely because they may not Ire popular. We believe there has been a great change in this respect in the last few years. In this the writers reflect changed conditions. Subservience on the part of the people to political parties and corporate influence has been thrown off to a large degree. The common people have dared to stand forth and demand certain reforms. Likewise newspapers have dared promulgate ideas at variance with recognized standards. In fact many have been leaders in bring ing about changed conditions. While to a large degree newspapers still reflect the sentiment of a community, quite often the sentiment reflected is one which the paper has in a large degree created aud fostered. A carefully and honestly prepared editorial page is becoming a power— is considered a necessity by newspaper readers who have riseti to these new conditions. Especially is this true in Oregon, character ized by President Campbell of the University of Oregon as the most democratic commonwealth iti the world.
