C entral P oint H erald The Proving. PEOPLE. The Optimist, published at The Dalles by that ever active and interesting person, “ Old Man” Bennett, not only wants the leg islature to elect a Republican and not Chamberlain to the senate, but he wants “ the Republicans of the state to get together and decide that we have had about all the crazy legislation we can stand, and then wipe a lot of these fool laws off o f the statute books.” He says that unless this is done there will not only be a constant political turmoil, en dangering Republican success, “ but we will make such a name for Oregon that we will not get the settlers we are entitled to, and Oregon will not experience the growth that her sister states will. People will not settle in a state where cranks and fools are the lawmakers, and where the statutes are so framed that the majority is powerless to adopt needful legislation, and just as powerless to prevent fool laws from being adopted.” But it takes a majority to enact or defeat legislation now. And if the people o f Oregon are “ cranks and fools,” wouldn’ t it be better for the minority to enact laws? But Brother Bennett does not desire the “ crank and fool” people to have any such power. He holds them unfit for it, unworthy of it, and frankly says so. Has he considered that it is these same “ cranks and fools” that elect members o f the legislature and that these mem bers are only just about average men, and so on his own reasoning are "cranks and fools” them selves? Besides that, it is posible to work a good deal o f evil among and through a majority o f only 90 men, whereas this is impossible with a majority o f 100,000 men. A legislature cannot repeal a constitutional amendment. And if it attempts to take the power from the people which they have secured, there will be a good deal worse “ turmoil” than ever, and the chief victim o f it will be the party o f which Mr. Bennett is so ardent a champion. As to these laws keeping set tlers from the state, with due respect for the ardently partisan editor o f the Optimist, it is non sense. This position that Oregon has taken in the matter o f self- government will attract rather than repel settlers. Oregon peo ple are no more “ cranks and fools” than those o f other states; rather they are more intelligent, progressive and consequensly more politically independent. And there is little doubt that if they could get the proper ma chinery made and put into motion the people o f most states would follow the example o f Oregon.— Portland Journal. Uncle Sam is becoming a crusty curmudgeon in his old days. Formerly he delivered letters ad dressed to Santa Claua by the little people. But now he has stopped all that, and says letters addressed to Santa Claus must go to the dead letter office.
