\ SOUTHERN VIEW.

In a recent editorial in the Atlanta
Constitution, Clark Howell has the
following to say regarding the sena-
torial situation in Oregon:
An amazing piece Of political
1reachery is being hatched in Oregon.
In the press dispatches announcing
The probable complexion Of the next
United States senate it was stated
that Senator Fulton, republican,
would probably be succeeded by Gov
ernor ChamberIin. democrat
The use OF the word probably in
fhis connection is justified by the
present state Of affairs in Oregon, de-
spite the fact that Governor Cham
berlin, under the dual primary sys-
tenn. has received a popular majority.
That state has practically adopted
1he plan Of electing senators by direct
vote Of the people. The legislators
simply record the will OF the people
expressed at the polls.
Oregon has recently been under the
relitical control Of an unscrupous re-
publican machine and the people re-

Last evening the Umatilla county
10 A. c. graduates and former stu
dents held a banquet and during the
same Professor Cordley. dean Of the
college, outlined briefly the great
growth of the school during the past
few years. It is a showing of which
Oregon may well be proud, for the
Institution has advanced faster than
any similar school in the United
States.
Naturally the great growth of
20. A. c. renders greater appropria-
tions imperative and the coming legis-
lature will doubtless be asked for a
substantial sum.
Well may this state provide ade-
quately for the enlargement and main
tenance of the agricultural college. OF
the schools of this state o. A. C. is
the one that is close to the people.
By the nature of its work it can do
much and is doing much for the eco
nomic advancement as we'll as for the
intellectal advancement of the state.
The idea that underlies the work
at the Oregon Agricultural College.
and similar institutions. is that
mans material welfare and his moral
ard intellectual advancement are in
terlocked. At the agricultural col
leges students are not only instructed
IL mathematics, languages. literature,
ETC., but they are also taught how to
apply the sciences in the work of the
world. The aim is to make students
capable, useful members of society as
well as to develop their intellectually.
May the o. A. c. be properly sup
ported by this state and kept at the
place 1t now holds as the most rapid
ly advancing school of its kind in the
United States.

\ PROPER MOVE.
: = + = + = + = +

The big business men of Portland
who are backing the Portland Com
mercial Club are entitled to congrat-
ulation for the stand they have taken
regarding the publicity work of the
organization.
AT a meeting held yesterday ar
rangements were made to.retain Tom
Richardson as manager of the club
and it is proposed to double the
amount of money now being used in
the publicity work. A. L. Mills, of
the First National Bank. started the
move by raising his subscription to
the publicity fund from 800 to 5000
per month.
The attitude of the Portland people
is especially wise in view of the un-
usual benefits to be derived from pub
llcity work during the coming year.
It is inevitable that there will be
big westward movement the coming
summer The fair at Seattle alone
will bring thousands of people west
ward Then business conditions in
the middle west are now such tnat
people living there may sell out If they
wish to do so. This they could not
do last summer.
During the coming year thousands
OF people from the States of the
Mississippi valley will dispose OF their
homes and come westward. Natur-
ally most of these people will visit the
Seattle fair and because Of this the
State of Washington will be more in
the lime-light than will oregon.
If oregon gets it's just deserts from
the colonist movement the state must
bestir itself. The intending home
seekers must be furnished with in
formation regarding this state and
there must be some organized pystem
for handling the newcomers when
they arrive.
Pendleton is preparing to meet its
responsibility in this matter, at least,
to an extent The city already has a
publicity bureau and some splendid
advertising matter is being sent out
II interested parties. Then within
few months the Commercial associa-
ton rooms will be remodeled and the
club gotten into shape for the sum-
mer's campaign.

Beneath the sun of June.

Their never changin' tune.
And then. at nighttime when they lay
As quiet as stone,

"Alo-one," he says, "Alo-one."

It's rasped my ears, it seems. for years
Though it's really just since spring,
And nothin', far as | can see.
Around the circles sweep
But sky and plain, my dreams and me
And them Internal sheep.
I've got one book, it's poetry;
\ bunch of pretty wrongs
An eastern lunger gave to me.
He sad twas shepherd songs.
But, though that poet sure is deep
And has sweet things to say.
He never seen a herd of sheep
or smelt them anyway.

For you're just silly, 'on'ry brutes
And | look like distress,
For my pipe amt the kind that 'toots'
And there's no shepherdess.

The New Horse Racing Regulations

Ine NV IlOTSt IhutlHB htSuidtioii''
The Japan Herald reports that a
certain official of the horse adminis-
tration bureau is credited with the
statement that the bureau anticipated
some dissatisfaction on the part of
the race clubs to the regulations re-
Gently enacted but was confident that
the regulations were most conducive
TO the improvement of the breed of
hcrses. To speak plainly, many Of
the horses run at meetings could not
conduce to the improvement of horse
breeding. The bureau had long
known this and held the intention OF
prohibiting sooner or later the use OF
such horses at racing meetings. 1t
had now awaited itself of the oppor-
tunity of the recent prohibition of the
sale of pari-mutuel tickets to form
ulate regulations, providing therein
the prohibition of the use of horses
of that description. While the exist
ing race clubs might be dissatisfied
with the regulations, any new race
club that might come into existence,
that is, race clubs which really had
in view an improvement of the breed
of horse, would derive a benefit from
the regulations.-Kobe Herald.

Chamberlln safe majority. At the
same time they elected republican
legislature.
Now the amazing proposal is made
that since oregon gave Its vote to
Taft and sherman electors. repub-
hoan senator should be named by the
|, gislature. Therefore the republicans
are considering voting for senator
Fulton for second term.
This would mean nothing more or
less than ignoring the definitely ex-
pressed will Of the people. 1t would
be clear breach OF faith and of con-
tract.
The treachery Of the proposal is
the strongest proof of the truth of
Indictments brought against the re-
publican machine in the state.
senator Jonathan Bourne, republic
can. points out that the republican
legislator elected under a pledge
would be disloyal to his party should
he fail at this time to support the man
by the people. even though
he is a democrat.
Governor Chamberlin has won a
national reptatlon as a broad, trust
worthy and progressive state official
Ills work for conservation and irriga-
ton in the west has made him more
than a state figure.
The legislature of Oregon-republi-
can though it is in national affairs
would stultify itself before the people
of the whole country should it refuse
n this instance to keep faith.
