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.

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.
