COXEY'S OLD DREAM.

The announcement that Ezra Meek
er will try to interest President Roos-
evelt in the construction of national
boulevard over the site of the "Old
oregon trail" reminds the readers of
the East Oregonian of the dream of
Coxey, of Coxeys army fame, back in
1894.
One of Coxey's most practical rem
edies for the idleness among laboring
men at that time was the construction
of a broad national highway from
ocean to ocean, the work to be done
by the then idle men of the country,
the government to pay them living
wages simply to keep them from
starving during the hard times.
The boulevard could have been
built then at comparatively small
cost, but the rich capitalists and
statesmen of the country denounced
it as the idle dream of a visionary
crank, not worthy of public attention.
Since the automobile has come into
use in the past 10 years the same rich
/ aristocrats who denounced CoXey's
| scheme in 1894, have demanded that
the government build them an auto
mobile driveway across the continent,
and have agitated for a national boule-
ward every year for the past 10 years
There is no idle labor in the country
to be fed now and the cost of build
ing such an automobile driveway at
this time would be enormous, yet the
rich agitators demand 1t and their
demands will be listened to with much
greater interest than was that OF
I Coxey, the poor agitator of 1894.
1t makes all the difference in the

THE DENVER CONVENTION.

Present indications point to the
conclusion that If an earnest, energetic
effort is not made by those who favor
n leasing policy on the part of the gov
ernment, the enemies of the admins
tration will capture the convention
and pass resolutions that will not
represent the honest sentiment of the
people of the west, says the Laramie
Republican.
Senator Teller, by reason of the fact
that he was the senior senator of the
state of Colorado, was made the chair
man on program, and he is securing
speakers in accord with his own pc
culiar ideas. His ideas are diametri-
cally opposed to anything the admin
istration stands for, and he is there
fore doing his utmost toward discred-
iting President Roosevelt and his sup
porters.
The speakers thus far announced
are opposed to the presidents policy
and there appears to have been no at
tempt on the part of the cattlemen
to see that they were represented.
1t is known that a majority of the
stockmen are favorable to some kind
of government control of the open
range, yet the delegates thus far Sc
lceted are practically all on the other
side Of the question.
Active steps should be taken by
those interested to see that fair rep
resentation of the sentiment of the
majority is made at the Denver meet

SKETCH OF JOHN T. MORGAN

John Tyler Morgan, United States
senator from Alabama from 1877 until
his death, was born in Athens, Tenn,
June 90, 1924. He emigrated to Ala
bama when years old. He received
an academic education, was admitted
to the bar in 1S45, and practiced law
until elected to the senate. He was
presidential elector in 1860, and in
1861 he was chosen a delegate to the
Alabama secession convent on. In May
of the same year he joined the con-
federate army as a private and was
promoted through all grades to colonel
of the 51st Alabama regiment, which
he raised. He was a brigadier general
from 1853 to 1855.
After the war he resumed the prac-
tice of law at Selma, Ala. He was
presidential elector in 1876 and a dem
ocrat in politics. In 1892 he was ap-
pointed by President Harrison as ar
bitrator on Bering sea fisheries, and
in July Of 1898 he was appointed by
President Mckinley as one Of the
commissioners to organize the govern
ment of Hawaii after the passage of
the annexation bill.

DREAMING AND WAKING.

l remember, l remember,
When / was just eighteen;
l think 1 was the wisest youth
This world had ever seen.
1t was a childish fairy tale;
But now tits little joy
To know I don't know lots of things
l did know when a boy.
1 remember, 1 remember,
This old world seemed so slow;
I'd teach it how to put things through
When once I got a show!
It was a boyish guess again."
But now It's sorry play
To find how hard 1 have to play
To get three meals a day.
1 remember. 1 remember,
The things l planned to do,
l meant to take this poor old earth
And make it over new.
1t was a very pretty dream:
But now tits little cheer
To know the world, when 1 am gone
Won't know that was here.

recede from her advanced position on
the election of United States senators.
The people believe in Statement No.
/. 1t is a guarantee thar the wishes
of the people will be obeyed by the
legislature and judging from past en-
tanglements in the legislature, some
guarantee is needed to insure the ex-
ecution of the popular will by that
body.
Mr. Geer gives much prominence to
the fact that many members of the
last legislature refused to sign State
ment No. 1. But he forgets that the
last election was the first in which
this statement or pledge was ever eX-
acted from candidates and that a ma
jority of the members in that first
trial took the pledge and lived up to
it. That result is remarkable, when
the past history of Oregon politics, as
made and maintained by machine
rule, is considered.
In the election in 1905 even a great
er number than ever should take the
pledge. The press and the voters will
insist upon the sacred observance of
this principle. 1t is a guarantee that
the people will be considered here
after in senatorial elections.
Democrats who took Statement No.
in the last election voted for Jona-
than Bourne, the republican choice OF
the people. These democrats believ-
ed in the ability of the people to
choose their senator's and cheerfully
complied with the peoples wishes.
Republicans should have an equally
strong faith in the ability and rights
of the people in this matter. They
should vote for a democrat if he were
chosen by the whole people as readily
and as cheerfully as democrats voted
for republican chosen by the whole
people.
Mr. Geer should not be afraid o.
the people. He should not begin thi!
early in the game to discredit State
ment No. 1 for fear that Governor
Chamberlain will receive the popular
vote for the senatorship. He should
not begin now to lay plans for back
ward step from Oregon's advanced
position on popular legislation.
The majority party in Oregon
should be the last one to attempt t,
take the choice out of the hands o
/ the people. If that party is afraid t,
trust the people at the polls, the peo
pie should begin to ask why.

SOCIALIST CATECHISM.

The socialist Sunday schools Of
London continue to prosper and some
of the liberal government are trying
to plan a way to put an end to them
as they are at present constituted,
without interfering with the tradition
al British right of free speech.
Here are some extracts from
the socialist Sunday school catechism:
How many classes are there?
Two. Aristocrats and working peo-
pie.
Who are the aristocrats?
Those who enjoy wealth without
working for it.
Who are the workers?
Wen who work for wages and re-
ceivo only a portion of what they earn,
the other part going to keep the idle
classes.
Who owns the factories and the
warehouses?
The rich capitalist class who will
not employ men unless they can bake
a profit.
What is the consequence?
That men able and willing to work
for food cannot get food for their
wives and children.
DO men and women die of hunger
in England?
Yes, in the midst of plenty.
Do savages starve in the midst OF
plenty?
No, where there is plenty of food
| they all rejoice and make merry

STATEMENT No. 1.

Editor T. T. Geer of the Pendleton
Tribune, who is is said will be a
candidate for the United States sem
ate next year, makes a surprising ar
gument against popular government
as expressed in Statement No. /, in an
editorial in his paper yesterday morn
ing.
Since the popular election of
United States senators has become
fixed and irrevocable principle in Or
egon, the people will not permit par
tisan politics to hamper or cripple that
principle in any way, and as Statement
No. 1, by which members of the Leg
islature pledge themselves to support
the peoples choice for senator is the
heart and core of that principle, the
people will carefully guard it.
Mr.. Geer has evidently become
alarmed at the announcement that
Governor Chamberlain will be a can
didate. Chamberlain's popularity and
his ability as a vote-getter should not
cause Mr.. Geer to turn his back upon
the peoples cherished principle. He
should take an equal chance, go be-
fore the people on an equal footing
and see to it that oregon does not
