ness. About fifteen miles Of sidetrack
will be laid in order to accommodate

the state. The improvements will cost
about $200,000y and will make Hazen
an important railroad city.

A LABORED EFFORT
Leader EndeavOring to Dis.
cover What 1'The Fair
Thing" Is.

The Leader makes a decidedly la
bored effort in the last issue to ex-
plain why, after Miss Bette Webb
had won the piano offered for secur-
ing the most subscribers in that con-
test, the piano isnot awarded to her.
The paper claims to have put on $50
new subscribers since the contest was
inaugurated, and therefore is amply
able to give the piano according to the
terms of its contest.
The Leader says it "will do the fair
thing when it knows what the fair
thing is"
Meantime, Miss Webb, having won
the contest, and still waiting for the
piano, hopes that the Leader will not
be all summer discovering the sfair
thing" 1t is understood that the
thrifty management of the Leader,
pending the award of the piano, has
rented it to a local conservatory of
music. But then, doubtless the win
ner Of the contest would rather have a
tried and tested, well-used, second
hand piano than a brand new one.
And the rent money probably comes
in handy in keeping the contest going
for few more months.

Nhe public good
lit is one of the greatest merits Of

lakes possible a clear separation
etween local and national issues.
lnder the older system, which still
reVails in most Of the states, the
eople could express their opinion up
nsuch matter as the Barlow toll

sgislators. In determining this
hoice, lamerous other questions nee
ssarily played a part. Which party

ipon woman suffrage and many other
matters, would all unite to confuse

-Yoint- The method Of the initiative
and referendum permits each voter
to express his individual opinion upon
every question standing entirely by
ftself, and without admixture of per-
sonal or partisan bias.
1T absolutely separates the business
department. Of legislation from the
personal and partisan side. Suppose,
!or example, that a certain Republi-
san voter was opposed TO the Barlow
DAD purchase, while the Republican
Andidate for the legislature from his
district was In favor Of it. Under the
lld system he could not vote for
bis opinion upon this matter Of pure
luslness without voting against his
afty. This was a real misfortune,
and it directly contributed to dis
hearten the common man with poll
Nics, 1T made politics seem to him a
hopelessly complicated game, battling,
inetfectual, futile. 1t was all promise
and no performance. Under che Ore

THE heavy vote upon the question
Submitted to the referendum and the
decisive majorities by which they
were accepted or rejected prove that
the Oregon system mas solved the
problem Of interesting the voters in
the dry details of government. Hith-
erto they have shown little interest
in these matters, because their opin-
On was only Of Indirect and doubtful
consequence. In this election the vote
upon abstract laws and matters of
pure finance was quite as large and
as upon the governor.
The referendum bills and the amend
ments we're disposed Of by majorities
ranging from 10000 to 10000, showing
that the people had studied them and

growing better, not worse. As the
nineteenth century has been distin-
guished for inventiveness and material
development, SO the twentieth, ne
thinks, will be distinguished for the
making OF men nobler and better for

Another fine audience listened to
another excellent lecture in the even
ing Prof. s A. Long Of Dayton, Ohio,
on Lightning and Toothpicks" His
theme was law, love and habit He
showed how the whole universe is
conformable to law, and that the man
who would succeed must place himself
in harmony with law. DIT law itself
is remorseless and unchangeable; life
is made sweet and worth living only
as lsw is sUstened and made endurable
bylove. Each man owes it ais duty
tothe world to make The lot Of those
about him better and more endurable
by passing along tchim some Of the
love that God has layished upon this
world, but that so many do not SEQ.
Habit is either mans master OK
slaves it works either for him or
against him; il can be made to build
him up or tear him down. Therefore
we should be careful what habits we
permit to take hold of US. Working
according to ,aw habit is remorseless:
modified and sweetened and made en-
durable by love, habit can minister to
our happiness and the happiness Of
those about us.
Prof, Long had his audience with
him from beginning to end Of his
lecture. He has good voice and
splendid delivery, and what he says is
distinctly worth listening TO. He win
