Thi wn the inotfo urtlio territory or Oregon nuu cmhlpinntie or the coimtKr, onterprio niul iiHlopewlewp of the pioiiooi who first settled the Oregon country. When, however, Oregon lieenme state, the innnigrn teion had already ehanged in cliitrnKer, the j.rogressive ness or the argo'nant and adventurer giving way to eon servalisin and renetion. The framers of the constitution were men of much narrower vision than the mm Jjnrcjy pioneers, and thev proceeded to discard their old motto and effecluallv hloeked development by tying not only their own hands, but, those of ii-reedinr, generations. They .should have completed their labor by the new motto of "AVc vegetal e." As a result the development or Oregon was retarded while sister states surpassed her in all lines. As rich, or richer, in natural resources, after nearly sixty year, Ore gon is still onlv partially developed. It was impossible, under the constitution, to assist railroads. It was impos sible to build hiirhwavs, construct irrigation systems. It ...u ;i.irw.iUii,i,. i.. .liii (ifii'flnnmcui. And the conserv- atisni, backed by the constitution and bred by its liillu once, still throttles dcvclopnient.

So it was not until 18S7 that the railroad was eom plPtod Hixteeu vears of development lost. Koseburg sought to develop its natural resources by Hiding the const ruction or a railroad to the timber belt and ttio dead hands of the constitution frameni reached from the grave to stop it. Hend. Klamath halls, JJurnS and other central Oregon towns arc now trying to assist . construction of needed railroads. And their future devel opment depends upon their success in outwitting the dead. Grants Pass did it, and .Medford will probably try to do it, for there is no use in permitting ghosts to throttle the living. . . (fnlilnllSiill.

The maehltio nun eltiiatlon wa hrouaht to light In couree of the de bate on the army bill. In ieply to ctiiMtlone by Minority Leader Mann tho facte ware stated by lleiireetm latlve liny, chairman of the military affairs committee. Money Xot t'-ed. The remarkable fact wa brought out that tho failure to purchase ma chine Ktins was not due to the lack of an appropriation for thla nurnoio. Htery year for three years the army appropriation bill haa carried an Item of 160,000 for the purchase of ma chine guna, and erary ear for threo years the appropriation has been un- UKOd. When asked by the military affairs rommlttee why machine guns had not been bought with the money pro vided for that purpose, the chief of the bitroau of ordnance replied that the department had not been nine to decide on u typo which promised to be satisfactory. A few moro questions brought out tho fait that an offteer In the united State artillery service. Colonel I. X. howls had invented a quick-firing tiiHohlue sun and several years ago offered It to the government. The bureau of orilnanoe oonductod experi ments and rejected It. Colonel Lewis tliereuiion took liU Invontlon abroad and sold It to ICniilauil, Holland, Cer- many and Switserland, and It is tue Iwle gun which Is now reported to be doing the most satisfactory work abroad. Wliv CSiin Wuh IteJeetiHl. In justification of the Judgment of tho bureau of ordnance It was re norted to the committee that, at the first test of the Lewis gun, the breach exploded. Chairman Hay ex plained, however, that thla was due to tho fact that Colonel Iwls. be ing a poor man. had been obliged to make certain parts of east Iron which should lmo been made or tempered steel, and that laier a better con structed awn of the La Is tpe was subjected to the severe test of lln operated from an aeroplane and tuut It not only flted reliably, but that It struck the target every time. As a final sidelight roveallnu a possible reason why the Lewis gun had been rejected In favor ot no gun at all, It was brought out in wie house debate that seme personal Jealousy was alleged to exist among officers of the bureau of ordnance as u result of certain remarks ald to have been made lv Colonel I.ewtn r flecttni; on the onduct of urtuln unu offlier dm Inn the Spaiilh Allied' .ui war.
