A Signed Editorial
On Coal.
THE coal situation reminds one
of what Mark Twain said about
the weather-even body complains
but nobody does anything.
Our sensational press has pop
ularized all the elements of de
nunciation but it has not helped
in any ay to stimulate people to
action. The moment we feel some
thing to be wrong we rush like
panic stricken children begging
the government please to govern
us a little more. We pronounce
against "predatory wealth," we
excoriate "the interests," we de
nounce "the packers" and "the
trusts," and shriek to high heaven
against operations of the "coal
barons." Then, we scatter into
individual grumblers, go back to
the work of the day and meekly
pay the price, hoping perhaps that
public exploitation has reached its
peak.
As a fact, public exploitation
has not reached its peak, and it
never will reach its peak until the
American people get back some
of the red blood of the men who
made this nation. Popular self
excuse lies in the pitiful phrase,
"Well, what can I do?" Th:s
weakling has come to look upon
our citizenry as the most brow
beaten, brass button ruled, self
complacent, supine flock of hu
manity that history has ever
known to be gathered under a sin
gle flag, individually brave, but
in mass formation marching in
step to any whip that cracks.
The handful of men controlling
the coal industry, knowing the na
tional weakness, do not argue
about prices-they announce them.
Then they rest until the food buc
caneers decide to exploit both the
producer and consumer, which
provides a signal for further ex
ercise of the public lungs. The
retailer says. "I can't help it," the
jobber says "I am powerless," the
wholesaler says, "What can I do?"
and the forces in control join with
the public in sitting down.
And now, having written this
editorial, we will proceed to or
der our winter coal, pay the price,
and next week grind out some
other editorial that falls in line
with accepted thought and be gen

Direct Primary in Oregon
OrefB Voter.
EDITORIAL discussion of re
form of the direct primary is
practically unanimous in express
ing the conviction that the ma
jority of Oregon voters will accept
no change which takes from them
any portion of the final decision
as to who shall be a party nom
inee. Even those newspapers
which ridicule the direct primary
or weep over its failures seem to
be agreed as to the hopelessness
of attempting legislation that may
be suspected as a possible in
fringement on the right of popu
lar choice.
We believe the instinct of the
people is well grounded, as it us
ually is, in common sense. They
prefer to make mistakes in selec
tion of candidates rather than sur
render the right to choose, feeling
that they will make fewer mis
takes than will any convention
group to which they might delegate
the right of choice. They are
possessed by the conviction that
shrewd politicians will control
nominations if the nominating ma
chinery is turned over to any
group of delegates. We confess
our belief in the same conviction.
Faults, serious faults, there are
in the direct primary. But all
these faults can be cured without
changing the law. They can be
cured by good citizens spending a
little time and effort to encourage
competent candidates to run for
office and then doing enough work
to get them nominated. No more
, effort is required to attain this re
suit than is necessary in trying to
get a similar result through the
machinery of a party convention.
The plurality nomination, the
weakest feature of the primary,
becomes the strongest feature if
good citizens will exert themselves
to organize and work for good
nominations.
That invisible forces can organ
ize in a manner to nominate their
candidates has been well proven.
The secret societies, so long as
they could hold together, practic
ally controlled the direct primary,
and they held together over a per
iod of several years. Their suc
cess has pointed the way. Good
citizens can organize, not secretly,
but openly, and through organiza
tion can get results.
But good citizens will not both
er to organize, it is held. We are
not so sure of that. So far, no
form of large organization has
been evolved that will capture the
interest of good citizens, but out
of the multitude of civic organi
D.Clark
zations which now exist experience
is likely to develop some kind of
a league which can make itself
a power in inducing competent
men to run for oflsce and then
bringing about their nomination.
In some such organization, rather
than through politician-controlled
party machinery or the hidden
methods of secret societies, lies
the remedv, we believe.
After all, there isn't much to
grieve over so far as the results
of the direct primary are con
cerned, unless it is the destruction
of party spirit in state and local
affairs. The nominations on the
whole have been better than the
nominees given us by the party
conventions so far as the minor
officers are concerned and we have
had some excellent officials in ma
jor offices. The direct primary has
not sent Oregon to the dogs.
Rather, it has been one of the
forces which has lifted Oregon
politics out of the dregs of cor
ruption. We have a clean state,
politically speaking, even if our
ablest men are not nominated for
office. The direct primary is a
step forward in the evolution of
good government; in proportion
as the effort of good citizens can
be enlisted in its use we will
make further progress.
Girls painting their knees cer
tainly offer to the evolutionists
proof of reversion to type.
1925 CROP LARGER THAN IN 1924.
Oregon wheat crop for 1925 as es
timated by the federal bureau of ec
onomics will be brought up a little
past the 1924 crop by means of the
successful spring plantings. The
winter wheat crop is but little more
than half that of last year, but the
spring crop is l3 times as large.
The combined crop this year is put
at 16,852,000 bushels, of which more
than 10 millions are spring wheat
The large spring output is due to the
replanting of winter killed areas to
spring varieties. Among these were
the new federation wheats which, ac
cording to reports, have greatly out
yielded other spring varieties.
