THE ENDLESS DAY.
Sometimes I dream of following the sun,
With oven pace, from land to land, afar,
Basking In sunshine, with no night to mar
Tho endless day, forever but begun, , ( '
Then Bhould I see no moro tho dying flowers,
Tho naked trees, tho fields frost-bound and bare,
Tho snowflakes sweeping through the ley air, '
Kor long for Bprlng through droary wintor hours.
-And yet no moro to see tho sun arise
And mount the Bky, tho conqueror of night,
3Co moro to watch him as ho proudly dies,
In gold and pjirplo clouds withdrawn from sight
If thoso woro loBt, what could wo count for gain?
Hotter to bear Btern winter's chill disdain.
Ninotto M. Lowatcr.

PEOPLE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE.
It seems to be anything with tho legislature and tho official element
to knock out the Referendum and mako It inoperative.
When will this revolutionary process of defeating tho will of tho peo

Possibly when Oregon undergoes a complete political overthrow.
Catarrh

Of courso this Idea will bo dlscourngud by tho machine polltlclnn, but

KNOCKING OUT THE GRANGERS.
It Ib not surprising that Mr. U'Uon favors knocking out all tho Refer
endum petitions filod by tho farmors on puroly technical grounds.
Without their knowlodgo and consent, or oven consulting tho loadors
of tho Granges. MR. V'REN DRAFTED A NEW AND COMPLICATED
REFERENDUM LAW.
It changes tho procedure and incroasos tho exponso of tho Inltljtivo
and Roforuudum so as to mako It almost a dead letter.
Thou whon tho Urangos and tho farmors got up threo Referendum pe
titions AGAINST THREE OF THE GREATEST GRAFT MEASURES
THHV ARE STOPPED.
Sovoral of tho multltudo of technicalities havo not boon compllod with
nnd thoy cannot ovon fllo thoso potl-tlons without litigation.
Tho matter is referred to tho Attornoy General, but ho has gono off
on n fishing trip.
Tho Secretary of Stnto Is In California, and tho olorks nro at a loss
what to do.
All throo acts nro aimed at rampant officialism enacting laws TO
BENEFIT ITSELF AND INCREASE ITS OWN GRAFTS.
Uudor Mr, U'Ron'a wondorful law officialism has tho power to say to
tho pooplo, you shall not voto on thoso matters.
Tho Inltlatlvo and Referendum aro rights embodied In tho constitution
itself, and yet officialism has a tinkering legislature that vlolatos tho con
stitution at ovory turn It can block tho pooplo.
How far will this farce bo carried?
Thoro nro enough names on thoso potltlons to carry the next election,
nnd thoro will bo a political revolt IF THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE
TO VOTE ON THESIS GRAFT BILKS IS DENIED THEM.
As tho mattor stands, tho state afflcials seem to be afraid to act on
Tho aldo of the pooplo. Tkey are all apparently standing pat 'with the
-grafting Interests that the people Want to get a whack at.
