"A liouso ilivi.i.a against Itself
can not stand."
The words are lnu In all ages and
with all peoples.
That failure will invariably follow
disunion is as certain at that success
results from the unity of purpose and
action.
Fortunate indeed is that town thut
Is blessed with a citizenship that can
come together as a unit whenever the
town's interest calls. It argues well
for the breadth of mind of Its citi
zens that they can see beyond their
purely personal affairs and catch a
view of prosperity in the large.
But the real cause of disunion In
the average town Is not (hat Its citi
zens ace so deeply engrossed In their
own pesonal affairs hut that one Is
Jealous and euyious of another, one
clique suspicious and distrustful of
another. Not only this, hut each is
t munition have their factions and their
j divisions of sentiment and interests.
I We are equally cerlaln that this fact
in .1 in no wise deter the town from
Mnler , uoixlug every oppotunlty to further
Its Interests in overy available way.
If men could once be brought to see
that by thwarting the Interests of the
town through their opposition to a
(action. they are injuring themselves
vastly more than they were Injuring
their community, surely they would
take a different view of things.
The man who deliberately stands
in the way of his community's pro
gress Is disloyal. Just now this word
has an ugly sound but we ran use
no other because no other so well
fits the olfenne Placed In broader
circumstances, the offense would he
nuiKnlfied. No man's personal In
terest and on man's personal animos
ities can for a moment weigh In the
scale with the welfare of his com
munities ami the man who perulit
Ihriii to do so i- as truly disloyal as
the man who dellherutclv plots
against his country In Hie large.
There Is u difference only In the
magnitudu of the offense.
Fortunate indeed is that town
which, when they move affecting the
general welfare Is being considered,
can drop its factional disputes and
put a united shoulder to the wheel
in the public Interest.
No man has the right to lufllct
his personal grievances on his com
munity and compel it to suffer be
cause of Its own sore toe. Yet this
is Just what he does when he Is not
willing to Join In with "the other
side" In every matter that Is patent
ly for the advancement of the com
munity Interest.
We have said that all towns have
factions. Towns will always have
them. This does not mean that the
town's progress Is retarded by them.
In many cuses the factions serve but
to stimulate rivalry In achievement.
Where this is the case they are bene
ficial. A wholesome slogan for till v town
'Co after an opportunity
and land It; then If we must scrap.!
let It be over a division of the spoils." I
o
MAN VK CAN TltlHT.
really willing to forego any advance
ment If by so doing the other may be! woul1 l,,-:
thwarted.
This is a deplorable btute for any
town to fall dnto It is sure death
to all progress, and not only that.
hut is Invariably the direct cause of
that town being left behind In the' Harney Count v snouiu support
march of progress. j Chus. ftf. Crandall for the Legls-1
we are wen awore mat all com- , lalure. Ills record In the lust
I
Legislature Is clean and entitles
his return at Mils time. He
' refused to Join In with the powers
that be from the west side that play
with Kaslern Oregon then throw us
Into the discard at the tall end of the
' session. He refused to lower his
r utatemanshlp and although severely
j penalised fought for the things that
he considered right and proper
throughout the session and when re
turned will be In a position to con
so to do.
One of the Important matters for
the whole state before the last Legis
lature was the question of good
roads. After the passage of the Mean
Hill, which took from the counties
all automobile license moneys, Rap
Crandall tutrodu I II II. 191 which
provided for a state appropriation of
ll,006 per nnnuni for each lliirnoy
and Malheur counties sam being
the .stlinated utiouiit of BtttO license
money paid in by the i"denls of
these two counties. Till was killed
by the Kouds Committee in Its Imor
ahle report on the Sti.OOd.OnO bind
ing meusnre. He opposed the latter
legislation, setting forth til reasons
In a written protest showing t La t this
was strictly a paving provision that
its requirement that the cou:itles
should build the grade and founda
tion for the hard surfacing was too
great a burden for the large counties
east of the Cascades and that practic
ally all the bond money would neces
sarily be expended In the western
part of the state whero they already
had transportation facilities, by rail,
water, and wagon roads, r.nd were
better able oil account of population
and taxable wealth to provide for the
western roads; that the thinly settled
undeveloped eastern counties should
not be taxed for this purpose hut on
the contrary should be granted nld to
Improve their highways under a state
system.
Among other measures he opposed
the I.lm Trust Hill, the ('.men!

He introduced and succeeded in
getting passed h the Was and
Means Comuiitte and the House the
appropriation for I lie Pacific Live
Stock Co. laud fraud case. The fact
Hint this measure was recoiled from
the Senate and killed as the last act
of n corrupt and Hoss driven orgnnl
zutlon In the House only emphasizes
the necessity of sending such men as
Mr. Crandall and many of them to
the Legislature. Speaker Hobt. N.
Stanricid and bis organisation aro
directly responsible for the defeat of
this measure although the appropria
tion was sought as a necessity by
Attorney Ueneral Drown. It Is pro
bable that this case or others or the
same character miry be before the
next Legislature, and we should be
able to feel asnured and safe In the
position of our representative.
