CRUSHING LA TOILETTE.

An Associated Press dispatch
(which will bear watching), from
Washington, says that the national
republican committee has laid a cum
hing plan for the complete annihila-
ton Of Senator La Toilette and his
forces, in the coming national con-
vention of his party.
The plan of the national commit
tee is to totally ignore the primary
law Of Wisconsin, oregon and other
progressive states, and to order the
election of delegates in conventions,
which 1t is reasonably expected may
be packed" as usual
The national committee cannot
hope TO crush the truth and progress
by crushing La Toilette. There is
something far more vital and far
reaching in the popular measures
which La Toilette has helped to en-
act in Wisconsin. than La Follette's
individuality and La Follette's per-
sonal interest.
There is a nationwide public sem
timent, sweeping movement of the
masses toward political freedom, to-
ward higher political ideals and prac-
tices, and the committee, by cutting
off the power of the leaders cannot
hope to crush the truth. BY defeat
ing La Toilette the machine will only
increase the determination of the peo-
pie to win, and in the end the fall
Of the machine and the destruction
Of its corrupt practices and political
revenges will be all the more terri
BILE.
If the national committee wishes
to hold republican votes and insure
the election of candidates 1t must
recognize the rights Of the people
and the laws of the land. There is
a living, vital, fearless thought
abroad that the people should rule
this government, and no less per-
sonage than President Roosevelt leads
that thought.
If the committee is going to be re-
publican, why not be progressive and
watchful, on the Roosevelt ordeA
rather than on the foxy. oily, would
be aristocratic and smoothly hypo-
critical order Of Chauncey Depew or
his corrupt colleagues who have built
up disrespect for law and order un-
til it has come to be considered a
part of the program?
The national committee may crush
the power Of Senator La Toilette,
hut It cannot crush the things which
La Toilette stands for and which he
has made effective in his own state
political freedom, progress and ef-
fective legislation through the peo-
pie.

TRY THE LAND FRAUD CASES.

There has been a great deal Of talk
about the speedy trial of the remain
ing Oregon land fraud cases, says the
Salem Journal.
But they do not bring the indicted
men to trial.
Heney has published several times
that the Oregon cases would soon be
tried at Portland.
But there are no signs Of starting
up the mills Of justice.
How long can the United States
hold up an indicted man before CIV
ing him a day In court?
Has the federal government any
greater rights than any other party
in a case?
Has the government any right to
indefinitely extend the day for hear
ing even land fraud case?
Should not Judge Wolverton say
to the United States government,
bring these men to trial?
Is not the citizen guaranteed a
speedy trial and a hearing without
delay in court of justice even
against the federal government?
We believe the court should order
these trials to go ahead.

SEPTEMBER.

The following meritorious little
poem was written for the September
number OF the Ilakawinn. the high
school paper, by Miss Anita Slater,
daughter of Attorney and Mrs. r. ].
Slater OF this city, and a member of
the high school class OF 1909:
The summer flowers have sought
their beds
The summer days are dying;
While violets lift up their heads,
And autumn winds are signing.
Birds farewell are sweetly calling
And the gaudy sunflowers nod;
Ripe brown nuts are gently falling,
Where waves the golden-rod.
The fruit Is bending down the trees,
1t Is time the corn was brown;
Red and yellow are the leaves
OF September's gayest gown.

is UNITY IMPOSSIBLE?

A lifelong church member says, in
answer to the East Oregonian's plea
for church unity, How can l give
up my belief on baptism, or the atone
ment, or other features of my creed?
How can We meet on a common be-
lief when we have such widely di-
vergent views of religion?"
Remuneration is the first Christian
virtue.
To give up personal pleasures, per-
sonal views, personal ideals for the
common good, is the acme of Chris
tian sentiment. AS long as men cling
to man-made creeds. to man-made
ideals, founded upon technical diff
ferences in scriptural Interpretation,
the church will be divided, and divid-
ed, will be less forceful, less attrac-
tive, less effective as an instrument
of good in the land.
Everywhere the church is getting
away from the birthstone and smoke
idea. 1t is getting away from the
doctrine of fear, which has sent more
men and women to early and ago.
nizing death, than any other feature
of religion, and they are coming to
the thought that religion rs tolerance
and love and charity.
They are coming to the thought
that God is within every human
breast, and that an educated and en-
lightened conscience is the very
Christ which men have been taught
to look for in a far away region, in
accessible and remote.
The action of man to man, the daily
life of the believer, square dealing,
the tolerance and charity of the mind,
the ability of the man to master him
self through his mind and his will
lingness to help the helpless, direct
the erring. sustain the faltering and
give light and cheerfulness to the
pessimistic-these are the true and
living tenets of religion, rather than
church going. psalm singing and
building up of great business enter
prises and establishments which often
oppress, rather than relieve men of
their burdens.
1t is the spirit of the hive within"
and not the architectural features of
the hive, which counts in genuine re-
llgious progress A $4,000 building,
II not filled with the true spirit Of
helpfulness and tolerance and human
kindness, is simply a barren enter
prise.
Unity is possible under the true
Christian guidance.

these gentlemen seem to be undecid-
ed as to who shall bear the burden
and wear the empty honors OF being
mayor.
However the East Oregonian be-
lieves that there should be change
in the system OF handling city funds.
II seems that the city should be en-
titled to interest on daily balances.
There is no objection to the present
treasurer nor to the present deposit
tory Of city funds. but there is we'll
founded objection to the method of
handling the funds, without income
to the city.
The city funds should be let to the
highest bidder who can furnish a safe
bond, whether that bidder is a bank,
farmer or sheepman. It
makes no difference to the city, at
large, who uses the money so the
city receives a just and equitable re-
turn for its use.
This is the only issue in the cam
paign and the people should insist
on change in the policy of the city
treasurer's office.
No practical business man will let
his money out to be used without
interest, If he can readily collect or
per cent interest upon it. Then
why should not city run its busi-
ness upon the same practical and
system?'
Almost enough interest could be
'ealized from the use of city funds
o pay the salary of the city recorder
,r city marshal, so why not enjoy
his income and save the taxpayers
hat sum?

THE LOVE OF A WOLF.

The love of a wolf for a man saved
the life of Alfred Hill. animal keeper
at Denver City park Wednesday af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Hill had gone into the bears
den to quiet old Abe and the one 9TH
er grizzly in that inclosure. Both
of these giant animals have been ex-
tremely ugly during the last several
days, attacking the other bears with
out provocation.
The animal keeper was unafraid,
despite the ugly temper displayed BY
the grizzlies, and braved them, armed
with no more formidable weapon than
a leather quirt.
You stand around there and get
on your good behavior" Mr.. Hill said
to old Abe, pretty much the same as
he would to a bad boy.
The grizzly didn't reply in words,
but he was seen to wag his head in
his mates direction and both of them
suddenly arose to their hind legs and
closed in upon their keeper.
Hills life was not worth a penny
at that moment. The instant old Abe
and the other grizzly reached him,
however, Jim. the gray wolf in the
adjoining inclosure, came to his res
cue. Behind Jim was his entire
faithful pack. In less time than It
takes to tell about it, old Abe and
his mate were surrounded by a howl
ing. swapping, snarling pack of
wolves that kept their bearships so
busy that Mr.. Hill had ample time
to escape.

Anegan Republicans Are of Same Opinion

AIlegan Republicans Are of Same Opinion
1t is gratifying to know that
the sentiments expressed in the
resolutions passed at the Hart
ford convention last week have
foun d a sympathetic chord
among the republicans Of Ale
gan county. The Allegan Ca
zette of last week, among other
things, has the following to say
in regard to the matter:
1.-The Van Buren, republicans
held their county convention
this week and determined to pre-
sent Messrs. 3. +. Heckert of
Paw Paw and Guy j. Wicksall
of South Haven as their candi,
dates for members of the consti-
tutional convention, two exceed
ingly good selections. This ac-
ton has been anticipated for
some time. The convention did
a surprising thing in voicing a
nearly or quite unanimous con-
demnation Of Governor Warmers
scheme to call a special session
of the legislature in order to
force upon the state such a
change as he desires in the pri-
mary election law solely to fur.

and those of "Pat" Kelley.
They instructed their represent.
alive and Senator Bates to vote
against the proposition. This
effort to insert back bone in
Senator Bates is highly amusing.
If they shall be successful, il
will create in that worthy gen
tleman a sensation to which he
apparently has been stranger.

against the Warner administra-
ton and its plan of a third term
for its titular head is concerned,

The resolutions passed at the
convention at Hartford last week
are worthy of more than passing
notice and will voice the senti-
ment of a large majority of the
republicans of the county. They
were passed without a dissenting
voice. OF course the governor
does not like the portion refer
ring TO the primary law and
speaks of it as peanut politics.
Such remarks from Governor
Warner at this time would seem
to The Northerner TO be i'll advis-
ed and in decidedly "bad taste,
The clause referring to Repre-
sentative Simpson was also sig
nificant, in view of the recent
criticism of the board of super
visors. When the work of Rep
resentative Simpson in the legis-
lature is summed up from begin
ming to end it will compare
favorably with that done by any
man in the Legislature. He has
been honest, faithful and consci'
entious and we believe in all mat
ters has endeavored to carry out
the wishes of the majority of his
constituents. When the time
comes, as it certainly will, for
him to climb up few notches in
politics he will find the republi
cans of Van Buren, county ready
and willing to put their shoulder
to the wheel and boost. There
are a few "knockers" in the re
publican party, but not enough
to be counted.
