tATHENA. ORE- DEC. 6... 1912
The Blue Mountain Eagle, publish
ed at Canyon City, pays this splendid
tribute to Joe Teal: "Mr. Teal is an
ideal selection. He is a demoorat ; not
a destiuotion demoorat nor a hered
itary demoorat, but a democrat for
cause, for reason and from under
standing that comes from a thorough
knowledge of the fundamental princi
ples of free government. And be
knows Oregon. He learned eastern
Oregon (railing a band of sheep over
grease wood deserts and sage brush
flats. Be knows the pnblio domain
that should be conserved and the
lands that, when settled, will be an
asset of the west. In Oregon he has
seen cultivation and civilization eo
oroaob on stony ground and waste
plaoes. Joe Teal knows Oregon. lie
knew Oregon when bear trod the tim
bered bills within a day's walk cf the
Portland postoffioe. And he knows
Oregon still. No man knows her
transportation problems better and
no one has followed the development of
her waterways witb closer sorutiny.
Cognizant of the resources,' informed
on all the oommeroial problems and
business relations he is advised in the
premises. - This is, however, second
ary and incidental, for Portland and
Oregon, its oommeroial life, its social
fabric friends and acquaintances be
lieve in Joe Teal. They believe in
his integrity, his slnoerity, bis ability,
his restless and well directed energy,
and they beliore that his knowledge
of the west will be an inexhaustible
fund from which Mr. Wllsou's ooteiie
of advisors may freely draw. Mr.
Teal is a lawyer of attainment. lie
is and has been a student of sociolog
ical conditions. He knows the legal
status of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, lie is a counselor, ad
visor; conservative, bat not in a re
striated Bense.Rud witb bis knowledge,
attaiumouts and expeiienoe combines
qualifications that will make hint one
of the foundation corners in the con
struotiou of Presidont Wilson's cab
inet."
The Portland Oregoniao, comment
ing on ::he defeated "Blue Sky" law,
ays: "A blue-sky law, designed to
oontrol the operations of epeoulatora
whose ruinbow visions are bounded
only by the firmament above, ought to
be enacted ia every state. The next
Oregon legislature should address it
self seriously to a problem that means
the weeding out' of the wildoatter and
a reasonable guarantee of legitimacy
to all oonoerns organized under auth
ority of the state. Tbe, late 'blue
sky' law wbs defeated iu Oregou part
ly beoause it was thought to be a care
fully nursed suneme to give somebody
a job and partly beoause tbo promot
ers of the law were themselves 'blue
fikylng' the iuitiative. But there la a
real demand for a sound law. and the
legislature Las a plain duty to put it
on the Btatuto tooks."
