on the plains.

The sun sinks low,
The golden glow
Falls slanting DER the tawny plain.
A gentle breeze
From far off seas
Blows gently DER the wagon train.
A mellow beauty softly reigns--
IT'S sunset on the Western plains.
The twlnkling stars,
Through azure bars,
LOOK down upon the darkened plain;
The coyotes cry
And night winds sigh
Are blended In a long refrain:
A mystic, wild enchantment reigns-
It's sunset on the Western plains.
Long rays of light
Dispel the night
AS slansing sunbeams span the plain.
Wild flowers fair
Perfume the air
While westward wends the wagon train
The god OF day in glory reigns-
It's sunrise on the Western plains.

THE OREGON DIRECT PRIMARY
LAW.


The law was shown to be clearly un
constitutional before it was submitted
80 the vote Of the people in an able
opinion by Judge Waldo.
But there was not time to get his
opinion before the people. The Port.
Hand papers would not give the people
ihis opinion, so the people voted ignor-
ssntly and unadvisedly for bad law
With only one city in the state, and
THE papers there dead set on something
4bat some faction demands, the people
ger at the facts slowly and painfully,
saHt only in the dear school Of expert
eaee.
Senator Fulton has declared that the
law is entirely unconstitutional, as
anyone might have known who read
with perspieacity and common sense.
of course, il can never be applied
TO city elections, II can never be ap-
piled because only those can vote at
fhaf primary who will take the trouble
40 register about two months before
election.
There is a class Of demagogues who
get mp such laws and refer them to the
people, who always want to keep from
&aking sides on anything
They do not possess the ability to
draft law that is sound and in con.
Senanee with our political institutions,
and they have not the courage to take
a stand for or against anything as a
matter of principle.
so they get some alleged expert TO
draft a bill aud refer IL to the people.
But that settles nothing. The experts
who were paid to draft this bill can.
not defend It.
When will the people get through |
monkeying with politicians of that
class good men, but impractical theor-
istsi Never
They are plausible, tonguey, well
meaning, persistent and evasiye in
avoiding responsibility. The direct
primary law is the first fruits of ire
sponsible demagogism gone to seed.
The Journal believes the direct pri
mary law is loaded. Under it two Port
land politieians,one n journalist and
the other a Democrat, who are well
known TO the people, are to be run for
United States senator.
Either one can get the nomination
on this plan, aud II is sure thing for
certain big interests whichever one is
elected.
Let the people keep their eyes ON
this matter, and il the law is ever in.
voked, and that is an absurd impossi.
bility, il will be for that purpose, aud

II Is law 20 disfranehise the people.
The registration law already disfran.
chises thousands The present natural
ization law disfranchiscs thousands

shut out all but small faction from

All these laws should be swept of
