!i Too Late to Classify ;;
TILE efforts on the part of the Oregonian and its trail
el's to make the nation believe the people of Oregon
are inferior in intelligence because of the initiative and
referendum and the primary election laws is a slander
upon the commonwealth. For the sake of political advan
tage these political buzzards cheerfully befoul their own
nest.
To such extent have these papers influenced some peo
ple that they can only speak of the primary election laws
and direct legislation in language too foul for publication.
And, after all is said, why? Is it because tho voters
of Oregon have individually been given more power than
the voter of any other state in the Union?
Formerly men fought for much less rights, and plains
were dyed with the blood of heroes for privileges of much
less importance than those guaranteed to the citizens of
this state.
For much less, nations have given tho lives of the pop
ulace to tho fire and sword and and their existence. How
strange it is in the light of the history of the vote to
meet men who under the old system could never hope to
be even delegate to a precinct convention decry and deride
a system that for the first time in their lives gives them
representation in their party and in their state.
Poor, blind moles, they seem, who for so long have
trudged in the darkness of political machinations that io
light of real political and civil power seems to daze them
into unbelief of their political regeneration. It is not dif
ficult to understand why the ruling interests who pro ' it
by favorable laws, which give them power to levy tribute
upon the people, should oppose making laws by popular
vote, but it passes human understanding to explain why
the yoemen of the state should be willing to sacrifice the
rights that mean their uplifting and regeneration.
But such there are. To behold them, to contemplate
them, is to doubt their sanity; lack they the self-preservation
instinct of the dumb brute, that feeds on hay and
grass.
Therein lies the secret of the slowness of civilization.
The mental traits of the people are so ingrained with su
perstition, of conventions and party, that they dare not
assert their faith in themselves.
But in Oregon thank heaven such are in a hopeless I
minority. If Oregon should yield to this selfish, corrupt
minority, and to the bray of the golden ass that libels her
in every bray, she might be well called the fool of the
family. But not while the Pacific rolls upon her shores
will her people surrender the privileges she has guaran
teed to every voter of her state to pass upon laws that gov- j
em him and making him in truth the governor, as well
as the governed.

THE EMPORIUM
A. E. TACKSTROM, Proprietor, Successor to Montgomery's.
WORSHIP OF THE GREAT GOD.
WORSHIP of the great god, Business, has been car
ried to an absurdity in America. For business, we
stunt ourselves, and dwarf our careers, or narrow our out
look and our lives.
Existence has been made a chase after dollars and by
the most unworthy of standards, that of acquisitiveness,
we measure success. Our days are given to grasping pen
nies and all the things worth while are forgotten in the
frantic scramble.
In the eyes of the money mad, life becomes strangely
distorted. Humanity becomes something to be worked,
in&lead of worked for. It is not how much you can do for
the world, but how much you can do it for.
At the apex of our civilization stands the multi-millionaire,
piling up his useless accumulation of unneeded
wealth and striving to extort still more from humanity.
His endowment of hospitals, libraries and universities is
not charity, for charity is love, and love and millions are
the opposite poles.
With great wealth goes great poverty. So much wealth
is produced in the world, and when the wealth is absorbed
by the few, the others must suffer.
The millionaire views all things from a commercial
viewpoint. .The railroad becomes something to coin mon
ey instead of a public convenience. The oil fields become
a resource to extort a constantly increasing revenue from
the masses instead of bettering their condition. The false
ideals and false standards of the worship of the golden calf
permeate all walks of life.
Great wealth means added care and added responsi
bility. It is about as foolish an aim as could be pursued.
It is the source of debauchery of the national life, the
fountain head of graft and the mainspring of corruption.
Its influence is felt in the demoralization of church and
state. And, after all, it does nothing worth while, for only
those things that make for the betterment of humanity are
worth while.
It is a libel 011 the name of Christianity to call America
a Christian nation. No barbarous heathen nation of an
tiquity ever had ideals as far removed from those taught
by Christ as money mad America. The gospel of self
reigns triumphant and tramples underfoot the gospel of
the meek and lowly Nazarone.
