Might Wait Till After Primaries

Should candidates wait until after the
primaries to make their pledges they
would not be caught in such hole.
The pledge is only a moral obligation
and is as binding if made at one time
as at another. 1t will have no effect on
shifty politicians, no matter when
made whose word or pledge is abso-
lutely unreliable. Such will 90 where
the Doodle is every time. But the can
didate who has a keen enough sense of
honor to live up to his promises will
want TO know the character and fitness
OF the several men from whom he is to
select before pledging himself.
The Courier is of the opinion that
the proper time for candidates to pledge
themselves is after their nomination.
The scheme to get them to make the
pledge before the primaries looks like
political trick, the purpose OF which
is to force the proverDial ''yellow dog"
on the people as has been heretofore
done so often by means OF the party

In the rapid evolution OF policy to be
pursued by forestry officials in treating
with stockmen desiring range privi-
leges on reserves, an important ques-
tisn has already arisen in Oregon. The
supervisor of the Wenaha reserve has
given Washington sheepmen leases on
portions of the reserve in Oregon,
under the announcement that the
Washington sheep were wont to feed
there during the summer. Oregon
sheepmen, protesting through the
Umatilla County weol Growers Assoc
iation, assert that much of this range
accorded Washingtonians has beea
used in the past by them in predatory
manner, and that the action of the for
estry officials is perpetuating the wrong.
The effect of the present situation is
that Washington men have total of
Ia ,26O sheep on the entire Wenaha
reserve, while the Oregon men have a
total of but 25,740. There is said to be
a total of 81 ,230 Washington sheep on
the Oregon side, which is more than
the Oregon people themselves have on
their own side of the reserve. Sheep
owners paying taxes in Umatilla county
insist that they would use all OF the
Oregon side of the range, but forced
out. Senator Fulton has been working
with the department to change such II
policy, and the case has resolved itself
into question of fact. The depart.
ment, acting under the instructions of
its Wenaha supervisor proceeds on an
assumption of facts which is contra
dicted by the sheepmen. The result
will be formal investigation to learn
the real situation, as the Oregon sena-
tor intends to insist upon fair play, and
will not be content with the mere state
ment of officials that their policy is
adhering to the former range practices,

One day the Ass heard his master
telling the wife that ne had heard the
roar of a Lion in the forest, and that
he should pass an anxious night on
that account. This gave the long cared
animal his cue and when the lights in
the cabin had been put out he emerged
from his stable and began to gallon
around and roar. All was silent in the
house for a few minutes. and the Ass
was chuckling to himself when the
master appeared with a club, and pur-
suing the imposter, he gave him many
a whack and thump.

You heard me roaring and moving
about, and yet you come forth and
club me-
Moral='My friend, an explanation
is due you" replied the master. There
is such a thing as the roar of q. Lion
and there is such a thing as the bray
of an Ass. Nature has given most of
us the acumen to detect the difference
between them-hence some more club
