MORROW COVNTY OFFICIAL PAPER Thursday, June 25, 1914. DR. WITHYCOMBE'8 CANDOR. Dr. Wlthycombe is to be commend ed far his frankness. He believes In a party assembly for recommending candidates to the voters, and he does not hesitate to say so. He thought the assembly a proper procedure when he was a candidate for govern or in the Republican state assembly in 1910, and he thinks so still. He is by no means alone in his view. There are thousands in Ore gon who have always distrusted the direct primary. There are other thousands who are still convinced that the principle of the assembly as planned in 1910 was an excellent means of eliminating objectionable candidates. To these are to be added still other thousands who have chanced their minds from opposition to approval of the assembly since the great struggle over the issue m imiu. All over the state, there are newspa pers censuring the direct primary now that have always fought for it in the past. The Journal has seen no condition to warrant the change of sentiment, but is perfectly frank to admit that such a change has taken place. Strength will be given the view by the definite stand taken by Dr. Wlthycombe. He is no political weathercock, blown hither and yon by every wind, and his honest ex pression of his opinion as the gub ernatorial nominee of a ereat narty. will give weight and character to the view and add to the popularity of the idea. Journal. Elbelt Bede, Cottage Grove Sen tinel: "We cannot have all these fancy frills like primary elections, school supervisors, county agricul turists, commissions for demonstrat ing how a family of ten children can be raised on $9.00 a week, and such like without paying for them. If we object to paying for these things, regardless of whether they are lux uries or necessities, the thing to do is to cut them out. The primary and general election could be combined without depriving the elector of any of his rights and privileges and a saving would be made to Lane coun ty alone of $10,000 for every elec tion thus done away with." E, M. Roagan, Albany Herald: "Those who cry for the abolishment of the state senate seem to forget that the three states which tried the single chamber all returned to the bi cameral system. Georgia tried it a short time and abandoned it as a failure. Pensylvanta tried it for a long time and gave it up as a bad job. Vermont tried it for half a century and dropped it. That there is need for legislative form is quite true, but that does not imply that it is necess ary to tinker with a system that has universally failed wherever tried In this country " The central figure at the formal opening of the Panama Canal will naturally be President Wilson, but if honor were given to whom honor is due, ex-president Roosevelt would occupy the most prominent position, with ex-president Taft next in order. All that Mr. Wilson has done with the canal Is to give it away. Colonel Roosevelt made it possible and began the work, and Mr. Taft carried con struction along to the point where only a few finishing touches were needed after Mr. Wilson took charge. His principal part has been to dim the glory of the nation's proud achievement. Orogonlan. Radium Flesh. Ty Cobb and Walter Johnson have contracts that reach an end this fall. It is announced that on or around the day the season closes the Federal League will offer each player $100, 000 for three years' work. So we now have two people at least who literally are "worth their weight In gold." All of which puts a ter rible problem up to the Detroit and Washington club owners. Losing Cobb and Johnson means the pass ing of both clubs from the white spot light of fame and Interest. Keeping Cobb and Johnson means an abnor mal dent in the club treasury. We'd rather be writing about ball players these days than owning them. It's a bit cheaper and the strain isn't quite so pronounced. Colliers. Yes there are things that Heppner needs more than a night train ser vice to Portland. A SUMMARY OF "SUMMERY" GOODS Warm weather necessitates a change to lighter and cooler clothing.
