BEATLOES IT MEAN?

1t is impossible to understand
why the state printer amendment
did not receive enough votes in the
late election to prepare the way for
its final incorporation by the leg
islature into the constitution. While
more votes were cast for than
against it, a majority of the elect
ors failed to support it, and on that
account the amendment is rejected
by the people.
The measure was one of such
unquestioned virtue, that there
was literally no room for argument
on whether or not it should pass
It is easy to understand why local
option or the primary election law
should have both supporters and
opponents, but it is not so with the
state printer proposition.
The Office it proposed to affect
for the better, is a known and no.
torious graft, Nobody denies it.
Nobody dares defend it. Every
body comedies it, and yet forty odd
thousand men in Oregon voted
against the application of correct
i've. Anywhere from $50, 900 to
$1,000 year is the enormous
sum of tax money dissipated
through this open and admitted
graft. Every person elected to the
position, no matter how complete
his failure as fnancier hitherto,
comes out wealthy man. The
steal is SO palpable that even leg,
islature, from which reforms are
not so much expected, proposed
yea, offered the people relief. But
the people. by their own recorded
votes rejected the proposition
Does the incident mean that the
people cannot be always relied on
to do the right thing when meas
ures are submitted for ratification
or rejection by popular vote. Does
it mean that measures submitted
under the Initiative and referendum
are to be attended with chance
misht, and questionable results?

TO ESCAPE 4 BULL.

Woods Cooned Pole-And the Wonder
now is, how he did it.
1t has been proven that a mad
bull can do an awful lot to help a
man climb a slick pole. Frank
Woods, who works on the college
farm, knows how this is. for he has
tried it. He went the other evening
into the compartment of the barn
which serves as the apartments for
the thoroughbred Jersey bull. The
animal was properly secured to his
manger with halter that had al
ways answered its purpose As
Frank approached, however, the
animal seemed to be suddenly seized
with some kind of a spell to do
Frank bodily harm. The same
kind of a feeling toward Frank pos
sessed him once before, but Frank
had one eye open for such emergen-
cy as might arise.
In the new instance, the fastening
broke when the bull lunged in
franks direction. The movement
left the mad animal between Frank

Ed Horning, the grocer had been
within the radius of danger when
the trouble began. Experienced
however, on the cattle ranges of
Southeastern Oregon, and posted
on the subject of bulls i'll general,
he took an early leave of Woods and
his animal friend. disappearing
through the main exit at speed to

TILL SKIN CAME OFF.
Scalding of Little Gir1-She Will
Recover-Her Second Accident.

A painful accident befell the little
girl in the home of Mr.. and Mrs. F
B. Decker, on Beaver Creek, the
other day. A basin of hot water
was temporarily on the floor, and
the little one, aged two or three
years, fell backwards into it. In
answer to the screams, the mother
fastened to the spot and relieved the
child from its dreadful situation.
Cold water was poured on for tenn
porary relief, and the father was
summoned. When the clothing
was removed, much of the skin peel
ed away. The burn involves the
back from the neck to the hips.
The accidenl was serious enough to
be fatal but in spite of it all the lit
tie one is on the road to recovery.
Last year the same child fell into
the family spring. and was only res
cued by the father in the nick of time.

RESoUNDING ALARMS.

The Russian government is becom-
ing wonderfully lenient towards its
poorer citizens. The reforms she is
instituting throughout the empire
are amazing the world. Russia feels
the lack of friendship because of her
protracted cruel treatment to her
poor.
Port Arthur seems on the verge of
humiliation, and Kuropatkin and
Oyama are lining mp along the Sakhe
river for the most stupendous grapple
yet experienced. But Of all things
the trouble with England, over
Rojestvensky's miserable blunder In
firing on peaceable English fisher
men, is absorbing most attention.
Early in the week it looked as though
the trouble had not been settled, but
later matters became quieted. How
ever, any moment might hear British
guns open on the offending fleet, and
then world war may be looked for.
France, Germany and Spain are GER
tainly in sympathy with Russia, and
it is not altogether improbable,
should Mr.. Roosevelt be reelected,
that this country would be quickly
drawn into the vortex. A single
belch at any moment from the al
ready cleared decks Of the waiting
British feet may precipitate a con-
fiict such as the world never saw nor
ever dreamed of.
The opinion is fast gaining ground
in diplomatic circles that Russia
beginning with her high-handed
holding-up of neutral merchant YES
sells, down to the smashing of English
fishing craft-has been playing a
desperate game to embroil other
nations in dispute SO as to cover her
shame of defeat by japan. Her
honor also demanded that her west
ern fleet go to the East, yet she knew
that to face Japan's victorious navy
was equivalent to sending them
to the bottom of the sea. The Rus
sian sailors also know it means des-
truction; so what better way than to
cause an international breach, which
may avert death at the hands of the
detested Japs?
Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1904-11-04

ALTHOUGH Stoessel can see little
hope of relief from Kuropatkin his
followers firmly believe they will
be relieved. But Stoessel fights
on, well knowing that he has
slain $4,000 japanese since the
siege of Port Arthur began, and
he further knows that his 5000
valiant defenders are worth more
than ten times their number else
where. Like Mosby, in our Civil
War, his little band keeps of the
enemy ten times his number busily
engaged. But for Stoesseps logged
resistance Japanese army of City
or hundred thousand would have
long ago joined Kuroki aud by this
time have driven Kuropatkin out of
Manchuria. Long live the buster
ing but gallant Russ. Although
ordered by his Emperor to surrender
when he saw fit he does not seem to
think his work will be over with
until he be forced TO die.
