BETTER LANE NEAR.

'Tis a long, long lane that knows no
turn, as you often have heard,
l suppose;
And there is a truth that we all may
learn, which ever the wise man
knows.
oh, the way may be long, and the
way may be rough, and hard
to our blistering feet;
We may say that the journey is deuc-
edly tough, and deem that the
language is meet.
But I've noticed full oft, as I've trav-
eled along In a lane that I
didn't enjoy,
That / was placed there by my folly
or wrong-and what have you
noticed, my boy?
And I've noticed this truth while
walking my way, and find that
It gives to me cheer;
II we don't like the lane we are tread
ing today, we may turn to the
better one near.

REMEMBER EASTERN OREGON

The Salem Journal. in vein of
satire, says that eastern Oregon has
had the office of state treasurer for
half of the life of the state and that
therefore this office should continue
to be conceded to eastern oregon.
This is perhaps the forerunner of an
excuse for claiming all the other
state and congressional offices for
western oregon.
But eastern Oregon cares nothing
for the insignificant office of treasur-
er. II is a dead duck" in the field
of political activity anyway, and is
chiefly personal. What eastern oregon
wants is the United States senatorship
once more, that this great undevelop-
ed area of the state may have a voice
and a hand in congress.
What eastern Oregon wants is rep
resentation in keeping with her i'm
portance as a part of the state.
Heretofore one-fourth of the area of
the state in a small territory around
Portland has directed the affairs and
dictated the policies of the entire
state.
What eastern Oregon demands this
year is recognition in the halls of the
United States senate. To back up this
demand she has put forward Judge
Lowell of this city, one of the very
ablest men in the entire state. There
is absolutely no ground upon which
Portland can deny eastern Oregon
this office. excepting upon strictly
selfish grounds. and this it will be
dangerous for Portland to do-FOR
EASTERN OREGON Is A LUSTY
INFANT AND WILL SOON BE ~
POSITION TO COMMAND, RATHER
THAN BESEECH.
Judge Lowell has been in the minds
of the people as a candidate for the
senate for a number of years. Port
land has known of this situation, yet
she ignores this just demand of east
/ ern Oregon and attempts to continue
the monopoly of this important Of
flee.
/ The people of eastern Oregon have
/ been accomplishing in the past
While all the political intrigues OF
| Portland have been hatched and
brought to maturity, the people have
held their noses and paid the bills.
The state is now under a cloud ot
unpleasant notoriety, all because ot
Portland's manipulation Of the of

ity. He was not trying to make law
simply to enforce 1t.
He was the man Behind the law.
We need that sort of law officers.
MAY his tribe increase! The law is
the reflection of the moral sense of
the people. The way to enforce the
moral sense of the people is to en-
force the law.
II is easy for the Herbert Hadleys
to win success. All they need to do Is
to do their duty without fear or favor.
That simple path leads straight to the
regard and respect of the people.

The return of Prophet Dowie will
furnish a sensation for a few days.
Affairs at Zion will be warm, and
Gladstone, who has never been kissed
is quite likely to learn the weight of
the paternal hand in another sort OF
caress. At any rate bowie cannot
consistently complain, since he treated
his own father shabbily in Australia
years ago. The most that concerns
Dowie, apparently. is his position as
prophet, with a large amount of val
liable property threatened with con-
fiscation. When you touch an Amer
lean, even a prophet, in the pocket
book, you hit tender spot.

WAGES NOT IN DANGER.

one Of the cheapest and most IA
miliar arguments against government
rate legislation is that the effect of
such a law, properly enforced, would
be to largely reduce railroad earnings
and there would result a reduction
of the wages of railroad men.
Nothing Of the kind would happen.

NEEDHAM MEN WIN.
Arkansas Joke Gave Point to Debate
Argument

Should Congress Subsidize the American
Merchant Marine" the question at Issue be-
tween the George Washington debating 80
cieties last evening. was decided in favor of
the Needham men, against the Enosnians.
It was the third victory out of four which
the team had won. and the champions thus
determined are John T. Kennedy of Penn
sylvania, NJ. w. Patterson of Arkansas
and William e. Thompson of Illinois.
An Arkansas joke was the happy analogy
which gave point TO the Needhams' argu-
rnent. They solved the problem OF phen-
omenon by maintaining that according to
an Arkansan 1t is not a phenomenon to see
cow. To see a bird sitting on a limb,
singing, is not phenomenon; 1t is OF a
phenomenon to see a thistle, but it Is a
thistle singing like q bird.
sidy is not phenomenon; high tariff on
steel Is not a phenomenon: to hear of a
shipping industry being upbuilded to benefit
taxpayers would not be phenomenon but
IL would be phenomenon to hear of sub
sidy being granted to pay high tariff on
steel to benefit the taxpayers"
