A SHORT ballot that makes the governor tho whole state gov ernment, as proposed last ses sion, Is not my Idea of representative government. TlilB sentiment Is credited to a Washington state legislator, who eems to be a lltle confused In his po litical science. If there had been a proposal to abolish the stnto legisla ture lie would have been expressing a sound doctrine; but whnt he actu ally refers to Is probably a bill to make the governor responsible, not for the state government, but for tho state administration. This distinction Is a vital ono; many of our sorry ex periences In politics have been duo to overlooking It. Administration Is the part of the government which runs on nrrnndB for the people; It Is the part of the government which makes out Incor poration papers, files away deeds and wills, keeps the cash and the account books, sweeps the streets, put out fires, Jails rowdies and performs a thousand other services, Incidental to nil orderly society, There Is no poli tics In any of these services, or rather there should bo none. Andrew Jack son could not see how a man could make a good government clerk who did not think as he did on nil public questions, And a good many men since his time have held to this Idea In a somewhat less virulent form. For Instance? oome of us want a secretary of state of our party. Supposedly, thero Is a Democratic way of Issuing stato documents and a Republican and Progressive way, though the success ful cnndldnto Is expected to follow ox- Rogue River Cider Proved Tho rider In the Rogue river ap ples they nlo yesterday afternoon went to the heads of members of the house, and put them In a mood for jol llly and borBO play, which broke out when Speaker McArtlmr called Repre sentative M. Vernon Parsons, of Iunc county Id preside. The Nichols bill to prevent live stock from running at large op public highways was under discussion at the time. Knowing that Parsons was not ex actly the bent Informed man in I he world on parliamentary proreeilure, various members at once got busy, and proceeded to tangle up I ho proceed ings with points of order, appeals from tbe chair's derision, etc., amid howh of laughter. In sheer desperation Par lions gave r?nr-llko rulings, each of which Increased the fun. When tbe horseplay was over, In the wreckage with Parsons was found th,' Nichols bill. Its aulhor was so indlg. mini, over the defeat of bis pet meas ure, that a short time later be with drew another hill of his, which Is s:ild to have been a meritorious one, from the house with the hitter's ununlmoi'S consent. Speaker McArlhur resumed his tnik as presiding officer Immediately after the bill's defeat.

A Repub lican sheriff has a peculiar superiority over a Democratic one, and vice versa. Some of us, perhaps, would not accept a marriage license from a county clerk of the opposite political faith. And, of course, If all tho officers were not di rectly elected by us, the people, our liberties would be threatened. Hut there Is another feeling of gov ernment, tho thinking, feeling part, the part from whence proceed the orders, tho policy determining body. In HiIb quartor politics In the sense of prop or differences of opinion has a rightful place. Wo want stute legislators to think as we do on big state questions; and so long as governors are to have a part In legislation, we want Ibom to reflect our wishes. And what. Is more, wo want our chosen representatives to have the necessary control over the machinery for carrying out our wish es, which Is the administration. And so, we shall always want to havo our representatives chosen by ballot. When tho legislators and the people fully recognize this distinction be tween politics and administration, they will hasten to put the minor offi cers and the dignified clerks like the state printer, the clerk of the supreme court, tho stato treasurer and tho rest where they belong; under the control of a responsible superior elect ed by the people. They will then be In a position to devote their attention to real politics, which Is something qulta different from finding Jobs for complete strangoi'B. Incidentally, too, tho administrative department will go about lis work more cheerfully for having rid itself of a wearisome bur- iden.

The Oregon Electric rail way la 'the latest electric road of the Northwest to join tho ranks of those using telephones for this purpose. This railway Is nn Integral part of the great sistem of railways which reach es from the North Pacific o;nat to the (ireat Lakes, the Missouri and Mississ ippi valleys, comprising tho North Hunk road, Oregon Trunk, Great Northern and Northern Pacific rail ways and the Uurllngton route, Tho Oregon Klectrlc lino, recently opened Its now line from Portland to Eugene, Oregon, and now has in operation that division anil one from Portland to For est drove, Oregon. The former trav erses the heart of the famous Willam ette valley, which Is the richest nnd most productive portion of tho entire slate of Oregon, as far as agricultural resources are concerned. ! To this end an order has been placed for the necessary material with tho Western Electric company, the manufacturers of moro than 00 per cent of tho railroad equipment used on the railroads of the I'nlted States. I The type of equipment to bo Insnlled makes use of tho standard Western Electric telephone selector set, The "Selector," ns Its namo Implies, Is an instrument bo designed that when properly adjusted It will respond only to certain electrical Blgnalg or Im Westbound 1913 pulses, which are regulated! and sent out over the lino by the train dis patcher. Tho latter can, therefore, signal any one of the way stations at which these selector BctB are located, without signalling any of the others on tho same lino. Two circuits will bo equipped, one from Portland to ForcBt Grove, and tho other from Port land to Eugene. Tho former division is npprolmately 40 miles; while the other is approximately 125 miles in length. Thero are to bo two train dis patchers, both located nt Iloyt street station, Portlnnd. Thirty-five stations nro to be equipped with telephones nnd solectlvo signalling apparatus, while every train will be furnished with a portablo telephone Bet and line pole, so that In case of nn emergency, com munication with headquarters may be established by the train crew from any point between way stations. All sidings will be equipped with a jack device for making communication with tho telephono line. Tho many advantages accruing fram the use of the telephone instead of the telegraph for tho dispatching of trains alone were responsible for its adoption. Tho telephone, In tho fli'Bt place is quicker. It has been observed that tho ring of the bell will Insure a prompt answer, and for this purposo la re, so-called "extension" bells aro used, which can be heard several hundred feet away. In the four years that the telephone has been used for dlspntrhlng, not a rail road accident has been laid at Its door, bo that It may. be said to be as safe, If not safer, than the telegraph. Furthermore, It has been mndo pos- DON'T YOU Trust to Luck., to help your tomach, Liver nnd Ilowels back to health. Nature needs assistance and HOSTETTEIfS STOMACH HITTERS Will do tho work.

The telephone, making possible as It does, direct personal communication by word of mouth between the dis patcher and the men under htm, has the effect of a warm, hearty hand clasp every time it Is used. A spoken sentence, even when an order, is in finitely more inspiring and Impres sive than a succession of cold and formal dots and dashes, and It Is this feature, as much as any other, which has made tho success of the telephone as an Improver of discipline and In creased efficiency on rnilroad sys tems. Dallas May Get the Big University Dallas, Ore., Jan. 30. Though sever al cities in Oregon nnd Washington nro making Btrong efforts to secure the location of the consolidated college to bo backed by the Evangelical church the Evangollcal association and the United Ilrethren church, In which will be merged the Dallas collego, LaCre- ole academy and Philomath collego, tho citizens of Dnllos feel confident that tho big school will be located here, Tho representatives of the Evnngel Ical church, who are perhaps taking the lead In the mnttor, are In favor of locntlng In Dallas. An attempt Is now being made here to raise $15,000 for endowment purposes. It is believed that, owing to the present endowment of the Dnllns college of $5000, nnd to the -value of the grounds nnd build ings now held by the trustees of tho college, $15,000 as nn additional en dowment fund offered on the part of Dallas citizens will appeal to the board appointed to select a location, During the last few weeks there has been considerable talk of taking the Presbyterian Collego nt Albany into tho consolidation.
