JEFF,ERSON'S DREAM.

Thomas jefferson lived in an era
when the simplest rudiments of learn
ing were deemed sufficient for a
farmer, and when none even of those
rudiments had any special bearing
on his life work Agricultural schools
and colleges were unknown. The
classical course" absorbed the at
tention of collegians, and law, medi-
cine and divinity were the only pur-
suits deemed worthy of a graduate.
Yet jefferson then dreamed, as
shown in his writings, of young
men closing their academical educa-
ton with agriculture as the crown
of all other sciences, fascinated with
its solid charm, and at time when
they choose their occupation, instead
of crowding the other classes would
return to the farms of their fathers
or their own, and replenish and in
vigorate calling now languishlng
under contempt and oppression"
His dream Is realized in the groups
Of bright young men now yearly grad
uated from our state agricultural
colleges. s.-Maxwell's Talisman.

PoPULISM IN OREGON.

The shade of Jerry Simpson will
hover in delight over the oregon leg
islature next week, when a republican
legislature elects, upon the first bal
lot, the choice Of the people of Ore
gon for the United States senate.
Ten years ago this principle was
hocted at as the rankest fallacy by
republican leaders in Oregon. Fif-
teen years ago when the first wavelet
of populism struck the state, it was
branded as anarchy.
Along with other popular measures
which have since been adopted, this
principle was cast into the garbage
pile by the Jack Matthews, Joe ST.
mons, ] H Sntchells, G.. w. McBrides,
H. W. Corbetts and other leading
lights in the Oregon political heavens.
But populism has triumphed.
Next week Oregon will swallow the
entire contents of the populistic med
icine case, and she will do it grace
fully and willingly.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-19
STATE FAIR INVESTIGATION.

The Salem Journal says of the
matter of investigating the state fair
board:
1t would be a good thing if there
could be a fearless investigation of
the financial affairs of the state fair
board.
Secretary Durbin on retiring, made
fiat accusations that members had
heen riding over the state on passes
and charging and collecting mileage.
This has not been denied.
NJ. d. Wisdom. former secretary
OF the state board, charges that the
last financial report of the receipts
and disbursements are juggled to the
amount of over $4,000.
This charge is set aside lightly and
ignored by ex-Secretary Durbin, but
it will not strike the public that the
attack on him should be treated so
cavalierly.
NJ. n. Wisdom is a man who has
reputation for clerical ability and
he knows what he is talking about
when he discusses state fair matters.
No one can deny Mr.. Wisdom's famil-
iarity with the subject.
No one believes that his charges
against Mr.. Durbin have in any way
lessened the confidence of the public
in his integrity, or in any way have
hurt Mr.. Durbin's standing in the
community.
Both of these gentlemen are so well
known, and have such an excellent
reputation that a strict accounting oi
the state fair finances would set al
rest al! questions of veracity between
them.
The people think this is a case
where an investigation by the legis.
lature would be proper, and of rea
value to the state, as it would sci
right the affairs of the whole state
fair hoard.

COMMENDS CHAMBERLAIN.

Walter Lyons, editor of the Albany
Herald, in a recent editorial strongly
commends Governor Chamberlain.
While a vein of humor underlies the
commendation, yet it loses none of
its meaning nor force by reason of
this. Since Mr.. Lyons is one of the
leading republican editors in the
state, his commentator will not be
overlooked by the people. He says:
In preparing his message it must
be admitted Governor Chamberlain
seized hold of live wires. He takes
up the questions that must be met.
The message breaths development
and remedial legislation for Oregon.
For the tenor of his message along
these lines, the governor Is entitled
to commendation. Yet, originality
cannot be conceded to the governor
The governors words are a reproduce
tion Of what has been promulgated
at development league meetings and
preached in the press.
For keeping his ear to the ground
and giving official expression to the
needs of Oregon as demanded by de-
velopment leagues, particularly the
| Willamette Valley Development
league, the governor deserves praise
The Herald commends to the ia.

THE POWER OF RECALL.

The one final and supreme law
which the people of Oregon must
pass. either through the legislature
or the initiative, is law giving the
people the power to RECALL A DIS
HONEST OR UNFAITHFUL PUB
Lie SERVANT.
When this law is enacted the peo-
pie need not fear for the safety of
the state. When it is known that
the voters have power to recall as
well as elect, an official, then good
service will be secured and question
able and corrupt practices will cease.
When an official knows that his
fate is absolutely in the hands of the
people, when he feels that every act
is recorded by a critical public, when
II is known by the officials that his
tenure of office is entirely dependent
upon his conscientious and earnest
service and not upon political trick
ery-then there need be no fear for
the proper conduct of public offices.
Oregon has adopted almost every
other good thing going; let US have
this final crowning act to complete
the temple of popular government
here
