(From Portland Journal, Oct. It.)
"Everybody denies all connection
with the refeiendurn of the work
men's compensation act. The meas
ure is held ud by persons who are
skulking in the rear, and who decline
to come oat into the open and ac
knowledge their work. Do the neo
pie of Oregon want their laws rege
lated by gentlemen in abmush? Are
oar laws to be passed or beaten at the
will of gentlemen who hide their idea
ity behind" masks?
There has never been a more
atrocious abuse of the referendum
than in the petitions by which the
compensation bill was held up. One
half the signatures were obtained be
tween Front and Fifth and Jefferson
and Couch in Portland. The legis
lative purpose of the whole state is
I has regunlted by a small Portland
district which includes the north end.
"Fewer than a dozen of the sign
ers are well Known peisona. More
than SOO nams appeared twioe on the
petition. Approximately SOO give
addresses that are not addresses.
"Nearly 100 give addresses at a
First street hotel, which seeps no
register, and all the signers at the
place are believed to have been tran
sients. A similar number of signers
located themselves at a north end
lodging house, and not one was living
there when the place was subsequently
investigated.
"Thus many of the signatures are
undoubtedly bogus, and were mani
festly colleoted with fraudulent in
tent. Here is an act that is framed
by a state commission after two years
study and investigation. It is backed
by the state government. It is
approved by the governor. It was
approved almost unanimously by both
houses of the legislature. It is ap
proved by the publio preBS and by
pnblic sentiment.
'What a wicked abuse for such a
measure to be relerended Dy persons
in ambush I Is Oregon to be governed
by phony signatnres procured by
gentlemen in disguise?
"We should rebuke such methods
by an overwhelming approval of the
workmen's compensation act."

Only this; the whirligig is so rapidly
twirling them through space that we
have not been able to take their bear
ings lately. We only know that they
are still on the job.
The above from the Portlaud Jour
nal, referring to the referendum of
the workmen's compensation act, is
not only true of that proposed meas
ure. It is also true to a greater or
lesser degree of the two university of
Oregon appropriation bills, the steril
ization act and the county attorney
act. The abuse applies to all five of
the state measures.
The most flagrant of the abuses
applies to the workmeu's compensa
tion act.
Again: With this referendum as
at present in force and abused, we
have in Oregon a government by

Mrs. Emmaline "Spank-hurst" of
international fame as a militant
Suffragette, it seems is having some
difficulty in making a landing in the
United States, being held up by the
immigration authorities at Ellis Inland.
Just why, Emmaline desires to in
trade her personality with all its
lurid fragrance npon the good natnred,
long suffering, and already overbur
dened habitues of Uncle Sam's do
minions, is a matter not altogether
clear to me. If she comes thinking
to help the cause of Woman Suffrage
in the United States by the intro
duction of her well known methods
of arson and militancy her mission
will prove abortive. The American
people, with all their crudities, have
lung since passei that period of
development where they can be suc
cessfully "bull dozed" into measures.
And as I can not conceive of the
pugnacious, little old dame as an
earnest and open minded studtnt of
methods, seeking a better way than
the one she has been pursuing, I am
at a loss to account for her presence
at Ellis Island at this particular time.
Hope she will be retained there
until the matter is cleared up in my
mind and my conscience put to rest
op on it.

If Secretary D a niels had his
way every citizen would be compelled
to vote when election day ca.ne
around. Just how that policy of
compulsion would be established and
enforced the Honorble Secretary of
the Navy does not make clear, nor
does any effective method ap eal to
the average man who gives the sub
ject consideration.
None can dispute that the function
of the citizen at the polls is one of
the highest importance', but the vote
that is not based npon interest and
voluntary judgment would be hardly
worth the casting. The fact of mor
universal voting must rest upon edu
cation rather than force, even if force
were applicable and practical. It is
the untrammelled will of the citizen
that counts for the best results in
popular government. The equation
of personal interest is the thing to be
developed, and scarcely can the pro
cess be hastened by statute. Telegam.

One of the worst handicaps to

e owing for the paper. Yon will 1 0re." agriculture IS the bad
,uj condition of county roads. Plans
should be worked out, if possible,
to secure both Federal and state
aid in building a system of im
proved highways.
Economy of Roads.
During the last ten years, Mult
nomah county has spent on roads 1
944,000.
Within the county boundaries there
are 143 miles of macadam and 110
miles of gravel roads. The estimated
cost of the macadam is toOOO and of
the gravel roads $2000 per mile. The
actual construction cost, by these
estimates is only about $1,000,000,
which means that the np-keep of the
roads totals a figure not far below f 1,
000,000.
The figures are sicnifkant. They
are more they are impressive.
They must prove beyond question
that, in the long run, the best built
road is the most economical road.
The deduotion is harmonious with
the experience of history. Excava
tions under the city of Londou a few
years ago unearthed a road built cen
turies ago and still in a fine state of
preservation, but buried fathoms dsep
by the soil deposits of the ages'.
South American travelers relate that
many of the highways built by the
Iucas prior to the sixteenth oentury
are still intact. The age-old life of
the military roads of Ecrue are still
one of the marvels of the world.
The Multnomah county commis
sioners are strongly committed to a
policy of first class road construction.
There is not the slightest doubt that
in the end, it will prove itself the

A city chap in an effort to cross
a busy street dodged an electric

The admiration entertained by a
Trenton boy for his uncle includes
all the latter's attributes and even
possessions which the uncle himself
is not wont to deem desirable.

in laughing conversation with his

SLIPPED PAST DEATH. 1
Curiout Cases of People Who Missed
It by a Hair's Breadth.
At Geneva recently a professional
acrobat who perforins on a trapeze,
attached to a balloon fell into tho
lake of Zurich, a distance of 1,500
feet. lie swam unhurt to tho
shore, just missing death by a few
yards, for had he not sprung from
his seat when within lifty feet of
the lake he would have been dash
ed to pieces on the rocks.
Several instances of people fall
ing from great heights and surviv
ing to tell the tale can be quoted.
At Brighton an actor known as
Lieutenant Daring, who was play
ing the part of a naval officer who
is attacked by brigands in a cine
matograph play and who was sup
posed to slip over the cliff in re- "
ality, however, to stand on a plank
which had been placed below tho
edge to make the illusion complete
missed his footing and fell ninety
feet below into the sea, escaping
with a sprained wrist.
An even more miraculous escape
after a fall over a cliff was that of
a seven-year-old child who had been
gathering flowers on Culver cliff,
near Sandown, Isle of Wight, who
slipped and fell 200 feet; She was
only slightly injured, a bottle which
she carried being unbroken.
Often the merest accident pre
vents death. A Cardiff laborer some
time ago fell from a scaffolding
about fifty feet high, but as he fell
his foot caught in the scaffolding,
and he hung head downward until
rescued. Similarly a woman who
fell out of a window backward at
Ilolborn lately was saved from in
stant death by her clothing having
caught in the window catch.
John Ilazleton, the son of Rev.
John Ilazleton of St. Neot's, Hun
tingdonshire, when cycling between
Huntingdon and St. Neot's at night,
was suddenly lifted off his bicyclo
by a passing motor and was carried
on the bonnet for a considerable
distance before being gently de
posited on the road as the car pull
ed up. His cycle was smashed to
atoms. London Tit-Bits.
First American Duel.
In the year 1G30 occurred the
first duel known to have taken place
on American soil. The principals,
Edward Doty and Edward Leister,
were servants of a Mr. Hopkins,
one of the New England colonists.
The men had quarreled over some
trifling matter and resorted to tho
field for its settlement. The affair
was stopped by the authorities, but
not before one had been wounded
in the thigh and the other in tho
hand. There was no law covering
such matters, but the governor of
the province decided that the men.
should be punished nevertheless.
At his orders they were sent to
have their heads and feet tied to
gether and lie in that condition
twenty-four hours without food or
drink. They suffered so much,
however, that they were released
at the end of an hour.
