OREGON is CIVILIZED.

The East Oregonian has received
letter from timorous woman in Vir-
ginia asking if oregon is really civil
lied, if people may come here and set
tie without danger of being murdered
by savages.
Evidently the news of Oregon has
reached Virginia.
Civilization embraces five great in
government, society, indus
try, religion and education. Civiliza-
ton is measured by the progress made
in these institutional phases of COM
munity life.
This woman, being a Virginian, will
perhaps want an extended review of
the elements of civilization here before
accepting the invitation to come to
Pendleton.
In government, Oregon is among the
very foremost states. She has adopt
ed. before any other state, the popular
election of United States senator's; she
has adopted the initiative and refer
endum method of initiating and pass
ing upon laws; she has adopted the
local option law, the most advanced
method of handling the liquor ques-
ton and she has also adopted the di-
rect primary nominating law. by which
corruption is largely eliminated from
politics. The utmost political free
dom is vo- -,.safed to the individual
in oregon and yet the rights of soci-
ETY. are closely guarded
In social life, Oregon is preemi-
nently blessed. The pioneers have
implanted sociability, hospitality, fra
ternity upon the very lintels of her
doors and everywhere social life is
eleyating, inspiring and free from cant.
Industrially, Oregon is unique. No
where else in the world is industry Or
ganized on such gigantic plans as here.
The largest and most perfectly or
ganized sawmills in the world are
here. The largest farms, while oper-
ated upon a somewhat wasteful plan,
yet stand as models of agricultural
industry in the west. Manufacturing
is simplified by the use Of electric
power and keen competition has
brought out the best there is in west
ern resources.
Religion takes the higher, broader,
more tolerant grounds here, and while
UNCONVENTIONAL life is active and wide-
spread, yet there is a most healthful
mingling of labor and sentiment
among the churches.
This Virginian need not fear for the
religious liberty for which her fore
fathers contended. There is absolute
freedom of thought here. She can
walk the streets of the widest and
most typical western town and yet not
be out Of arms reach of sane, intel
ligent. persistent Christian activity, at
ohy biiAits
Schools are the pride of Oregon.
She began building her educational
institutions before she organized her
government and the state stands fifth
today in the small percentage of illit-
eracy. All five phases of the insti-
tutional life of the state are well de-
veloped, perhaps better in many ways
than in Virginia.
Half a million Oregonians live here
in safety, prosperity and happiness,
and 1t is assuredly safe for this dear
tlmid creature from Virginia to ven-
ture into oregon.
The East oregonian stands, OPEN
armed, to receive her.

AIIZPAH.

In the splendor of the evening
When the wind Is from the sea,
There falls a charm of restfulness
Which whispers, dear, of thee.
And l turn my head to listen
For the coming of thy feet
For the rustic OF thy garments
on the seashore's sanded street.
In the splendor of the evening,
When the lilies drink the dew
Celestial odors fill my soul,
AS my thoughts go out to you.
And, when the stars illume the sky,
And all heaven seems aglow,
thank the stars that you are mine
For o, l love you so.
In the splendor of the evening
When the autumn leaves are red,
And this old earth is redolent
With the glory round 1t spread,
I wonder If Gods angels, dear,
Are keeping watch DER thee,
And if the seal of Mizpah
Has been placed on you and me.
-Solon L. Goode.

THE FARMER OF THE FUTURE.

Only the educated farmer will
have a chance in the future, but he
will live so much better and make so
much more money than the farmers
of today that 1t will make most of
the present-day farming seem crude.
The farmer should be a specialist.
This requires preparation as well as
education such as we offer at the
new State School of Agriculture at
Canton, N. Y. This preparation will
count for as much as years of expe-
rience Of ordinary farming in the
preparation for profitable farming.
Two years of such school work is
more valuable than 10 or Is years of
unscientific farming. Young farmers
should get both the school training
and the experience-K. C. Davis, dean

VISION OF SAVAGES.
Eyesight of the Indian No Better
Than the Palefaces.

Many people believe, because they
have read in books, that the sight Of
the Indians was extraordinarily keen.
and that they were able to dcscry OBJ
.iccts at greater distance than was
possible for white men, says a writer
in Popular Science Monthly. This is
an error. if the assertion is to be
taken without qualification. All say
ares have eyes trained to see those
things that are necessary to their pre-
Scrvation-"amc and enemies. Their
sight is not by nature more acute
than that Of the white man. but in
some respects it was better trained.
The whites who lived among the In
dianS and were compelled to defend
themselves against their enemies, saw
Just rs far as their enemies. 1t may
be affirmed as general principle that
there is nothing civilized man can
not do better than a savage. The
latter uses his reason to aid his in

pers published on the coast. II was

per half of the first page was taken
up by flaring and immense headlines
announcing the victory of Los An

ing announced locally by the Sentinel
some days ago. The headlines read:

Then follows the following account
of the race and victory:
Never in the history or racing was

to decide and when the numbers were
dropped, although they told of the

from thousands of throats. were
prompted by admiration for the su-

THAT ANTI-FUsIoN BILL.
What Governor Buchtel Had to Say
About Turning Down This Meas
ure by His Veto

ure by His Veto
Power.
AS announced by the Sentinel yes-
terday Governor Buchtel refused to
attach his signature to the antt-fuslon
bill which was intended to prevent a
candidate from having his name on
mohe than one ticket.
Governor Buchtel sets forth his
reasons in the following interesting
statement:
81 hereby veto house bill No. 100
which is:
AN act to prevent the placing of
the name of any candidate for any
public office state, district. county or
municipal as the nominee of more
than one political party, organization
or association on the official ballot
to be voted at any election held in
/ this state.
Il have an opinion from the office
of the attorney general in which the
/ Judgment is expressed that the bill
Is not In violation of any provision
to the law.
THE bill, however. appears to me,
and l think will appear to nine men
out of ten, as clearly a violation of
the spirit of two sections of our bill
of rights in article IL of the consti-
tuition namely:
Section THAT all political
power is vested In and derived from
the people; that all government, of
right originates from the people is
founded upon their will only, and is
instituted solely for the good of the
whole people,
" Section 5-That all elections
shall be free and open; and no power
civil or military shall at any time
/ Interfere to prevent the free exercise
of right of sufferage.'
\ The first section of this bill makes
1t unlawful for the name of any can
/ didate to be placed upon the official
ballot as the nominee of more than
one party. organization or associa-
/ tion. This does restrict and impair
the freedom of the people to act
| without restraint In making choice
of public officials. II a dozen diff
ferent political organizations desire
to name the same man for an office
they have a perfect right to do SO.
| The legislature which received its
authority from the people overruns
its functions when trying to pass this
kind of a law.
In the second section II is ex-
pressly stated that If the name of any
candidate shall appear as the noml-
nee of more than one political party,
the ballot cast for such candidate
shall not be counted culminatively,
but shall be counted as though the
name represented as many different
\ persons as nominations.
ut is clear enough that the votes
of the people in this case are not to
be counted as cast. 1t ia my judg-
ment that this bill would promote bad
nominating and that 1t would prevent
the association together of indepen-
dent elements. l note. further, that
the proposed act enforces no penalty
whatsoever upon any of the election
officials charged with the conduct of
elections for the non-enforcement OF
its provisions. For the foregoing rea-
sons l am therefore compelled to
veto house bill No. 100.
