The supreme court has thrown out the University referendum case, hold ing that there was no authority to bring the suits, lliis will bring the matter up to bo voted on by the peo ple this fall. John P. Jerry attached himself to ,tbe Roosevelt baud wagon but it could not null him through. Its nossible that ha could have been the last man iu the race had the election been put off a few weeks loneer. Ben Selling will have a plurality over Johnathan Bourne of about 7CO0 in the state. According to returns now in N. J. Sinnott has a lead of 591 over Judge Ellis his nearest competi tor, and 957 over John P. Rusk, third man iu the race. OSCAR BORG Jeweler & Optometrist The primary is over and everybody seems satisfied with theresnlts. The defeat of Johnatban Bourne for nom ination as U. S. Senator is especially gratifying, and beina so pronounced it should forever eliminate him fiom Oregon politics. Ontide of Mult nomah county, where Bourne's friends made a red-hot fight for him during the lasat two weeka of the campaign and succeeded in carrying the county by a small plurality,' he was aiiriDly snowed under. The "cow counties" especially going asainst him hard.

Determined to reach Portland in tiu:e fi.r the Elks' convention beginn ing July 8, Cecil Stone, Charles John sen, Fred Lyons and Herman Clark have started to walk from their home at Brookfield Mo. , to Porland and ex pect to cover every inch of the dis tance on foot. This unique journey was started in jest. All four had expressed a desire to attend the Port land convention but the state of their finances would not permit them to travel by train. "Why not walk?" suggested one. "I'm with yr.a," eohoed the other three. So they started. They have mapped out an itinerary and a schedule that will brine them into Portland on Monday, July 8, at 10, a m.

Private Optical Parlor and Dark Room for Testing A sacrifice of more than 1600 human lives is the cost of the sneed mania. The wreck of the Titanic goes down in history as tho greatest marine dis aster of tho world, and largely because )f the fact that the ntjc in which we live seems to demand that ell lines 'f transportation whether on sea or land shall shorten time. , The inves- l tigaMnn into the causfcs leading up to 'he lu&s ot the lianic with its cargo In his Inaugural address President Tuft called attention to the delicit theu existing in tlie revenues and the con sequent necessity for rigid ecouoniy in expenditure. However, the president singled out the department of iigrlcul Hire us an exception. He said, to quote bis exact words, "la the department of agriculture tbe use of scientific ex periments on a large scale, and the spread of information derived from them for the Improvement of geueral agriculture must go on. "This view the president has Htendily maintained, and repeatedly has urged appropria tions for the work of the department. iu nis comprehensive message on conservation President Taft snid. "The feature that transcends all others, iu eluding woods, waters, minerals. Is the soil of the country." md tluit all mean at the government's disposal should be used to conserve the soils, adding, "a work of the utmost importance to In form and Instruct the public oh this chief branch of ftV conservation of our resources is being carried on success fully In the department of agriculture." Reports made recently to Secretary Wilson of the department of agricul ture by the beads of his bureaus Justi fy this solicitude on the part of the president for tbe department. In call ins; for these reports the secretary ask ed that they be brief aud that they mention notable achievements of tbe last live years only, Inasmuch as -that period is really the period of fruition J In the department, the period during which, owing to the broad foundations previously laid by the trulniug and grouping of many corps of scientific men, by Meaning farreaching legisla tion, by gathering together masses ot statistics and other information, by providing scientific and other equip ment. It litis been possible to produce most marvelous results for tbe com mon good of the people. Taft For Conservation. In his conservation message Presi dent Taft emphasized the Importance of the maintenance of the forests and urged their scientific treatment "so that they shall be made to yield a large return in timber without really reduc ing the supply," and in other messages be pointed out the necessity of refor estation. In accordance wiih these views much available work has been, done iu protecting the national forests and by researches in the laboratory of the department ot .Madison. Wis., and In the past five years the work of re foresting burned over areas 'has- pro ceeded at the rate of 1 .".) Ittii to 30.000 acres a year. The department takes justifiable pride in its forest work, con sidering the administration of loo.OOO, 000 acres of land protected and man aged for the public hem-tit a great achuvement. Since .Ian. 1, 1D07. when the food and drugs act went into elTect. more has been done to provide a good, clean food supply than iu nliftlie preceding life of t lie nation. A wonderful change lias also been effected in the character of the drugs on sale. The department has a trained force of inspectors and chemists doing excellent work in all parts of tile country in In-half of pure foods and pure drugs. This salutary law, however, ueels amendment, as the supreme court held in May. 1911. that its provisions, to quote President Taft's words In his vigorous message to congress a month later, "do not cover the knowingly false labeling of uostrutns us to curative elTect." The president added: "An evil which men aces l lie general health of the people strikes at the life of the nation. In my opinion the sale of dangerously adulterated drugs constitutes such an evil ami warrants me iu call ing the matter to J he attention of the congress." ROOSEVELT HAS HAD SOME JjARD BUMPS His Recent Campaigns Show He Has Failed to Muster Votes. Can a man who disregards the whole course of American history and tradi tion, spurred on by his personal ambi tion, overcome the tremendous handi cap of the third term precedent aud land himself In the White House? This is a question all Republicans are asking. All agree that no Ameri can has ever been able to do it and they can count on one finger the num ber who even had the hardihood to try it, and that only when spurred on 1y self-seeking politicians who posed as friends. People are asking themselves if this is not the condition in the pres ent campaign. ' ; ' Past performances are as valuable in the case of candidates as of race horses. How a candidate will run is best determined by noteing how he has run. Not a Strong Vote Getter. Despite a tremendous popularity in the past, Roosevelt has never been a remarkable vote-getter. Mr. Bryan too, is remarkably strong all over the country and has been for years, but everyone knows how he failed to mus ter the votes. When Roosevelt was elected to the presidency, he ran against a weak opponent. Judge Par ker did not have the support of his own party in that election. But what Roosevelt has done since, and indeed very recently, in vote- getting Is more significant than his former campaigns. Results of the last election speak louder than any thing else. In New York, where the personality of the ex-president actually overshad owed that of Mr. Stimpson, the repub lican candidate for governor, a demo crat was elected by a majority of 07,- 000. In Indiana, where Mr. Roosevelt made a whirlwind campaign in his effort to save the state and re-elect v At the Theater.

Ills intimate friend and would-"be run ning mate, Senator Beveridge, the democratic candidate was elected bv a majority of 12,000. His Attacks Helped. in Connecticut, Mr. Roosevelt at tacked the democratic candidate for governor, but he was elected by a ma jority of 3,700. In New Hampshire, where Mr. Roosevelt's friend and champion, Robert P. Eass, was elected, the vote fell off 12,000 as compared with the majority given to Mr. Taft in 1908. As further evidence that Mr. Roose velt's star is waning, may be cited the fact, that the announcement of the Rosevelt candidacy for the third term did not evoke throughout the country anywhere near the predicted enthus iasm. In fact, the big shout that was supposed to follow the throwing of T. R's hat into the ring was noticeably absent, from Massachusetts to Ore gon. in many places it never rose above a whisper.

Some day Roosevelt will be sorry he ever went to C'olunibua. A Inconsistent s He.

But if nothing else results from the investigation, it should be the means of establish g new marine routes farther to the south where the possibility of oolliding with ioebnrgs will be averted.

Befouled His Honor And Word. (From the Burlington (la.) Gazette, Dem.) His ambition has made mincemeat of any common sense he ever owned. His honor and his word are befouled. A Heavy Handicap. (From the Detroit Free Press, Ind't.) The third term Isue is a tremendous handicap for tbe republicans to as sume. It Is our own honest belief that it will outweigh all possible gain Mr. Roosevelt can show over Mr. Taft U any ottsr war. The Mammoth Missouri Jack, DUfIB, Was also imyorted to Morrow County the past winter and will stand the season of 1912 at the livery Stable of McRoberts & Evans, HEPPNER, and terms of service will be the same as for Big King-.
