CHANGE ELECTION DATE.

The initiative amendment which
proposes to change the date of the
state election in Oregon to correspond
with the presidential election is a
most worthy measure and should be
adopted at the coming June election.
1t is folly for oregon to conduct
two elections in one year. The in
creased expense on the taxpayers, the
Interference with business conditions,
twice in the same season and other
Objectionable features should induce
the voters to change the date Of the
state election.
The state elections Of nearly all Of
the states are held on the date Of the
presidential election to save election
expenses. Oregon has long borne this
additional expense, but nobody can
give a good reason for toleratlng the
extra expense. Let us change the date
of the election. The question will be
on the official ballot and when you
come to that subject on your ballot,
vote "Yes."
1t will save thousands Of dollars to
the taxpayers and everybody surely
wants to reduce taxes IN every legiti-
mate way.

THE CRISIS IN OREGON.

The republican state convention
just held in Portland. has precipitat-
ed a crisis on the state. from a politi-
cal standpoint, which is of supreme
importance to the party in this state.
The Fulton forces which secured
control Of the convention, named the
delegates and dictated the platform,
it is understood, are emphatically op-
posed to statement No. l, the popular
measures by which the people may
express their sentiments on public
affairs and practically all of the re-
cent political progress made by the
state.
The people of the state have ex-
pressed themselves as being highly
pleased with all of these measures,
and so the republican leaders who
secured control of and manipulated
the convention, have taken issue
squarely with the people and stand in
the light of being opposed to the
power of the people.
If this is the case, as the people
believe. and if the Fulton people per-
slst in carrying out this program, the
state will be made democratic in spite
Of all that the progressive republicans
can do to prevent it.
The people of oregon, republican
and democratic voters alike, are max
ing progress. A handful of leaders
cannot dictate to them any more and
if the leaders do not heed the de-
mands of the people and give the peo-
ple the recognition which they demand
and deserve. the people will have
something to say as to the fate Of the
leaders.
Mr.. Fulton and his friends cannot
nope 10 turn DdCh LAlN N4DSEN 20 f
cal progress. They cannot hope to
check the onward march of popular
sentiment and if they hope to keep
the republican party in power they
will get into the forward moving band
wagon with the people and make the
party strong by keeping abreast Of the
progress Of the times.
The people will not stand for the
repeal Of the primary law, the intia-
five and referendum or any other pop
ular measure and through these meas
vres they will administer their re-
buke to the leaders who persist In
disregardlng the peoples power.
1t will require the services Of every
sincere and progressive republican to
prevent the state from becoming DEM
ocratic. A crisis has been precipitat-
ed upon the state by the state con-
vention.

held as booty by the land grabbing
corporations which have ravaged the
state in the past. is being wrested from
their grasp and placed within reach
Of settlers and soon like the walled

homes to unlock that empire and per-

where a new civilization will be
founded in the heart of the desert.

POINTS OF VIEW.

1 would not have trusted the bee with
a sting
Nor the gnat with taste for meat:
I would not have hidden in brake and
ling
The adder that haunts my feet:
l would not have bristled the hedge
with thorns
Nor poisoned the berries red;
I would not have fashioned the bull
locks horns
Nor riddled the night with dread.
would not have burdened the sun
with spots
Nor put out the moon so quickly;
l would not set snails in the garden

Nor scattG the weeds so thickly;
But, knowing the world is Gods not

kline
Must wonder why God made me.

EARLY RECOLLECTION.

Tousle-haired, freckle-faced, ordinary
boy,
Went to school with him, you know
twas his greatest JOY
To be lodging lessons-very much
like all the rest.
Fished and went in swimming, and
was very simply dressed.
Everybody knows him now. Wears a
beaver hat.
Makes profound addresses now and
then on this and that;
Has manner most sedate and is, to
tell the truth,
The pride of the community-a model
for our youth.
But as look upon his face with WELL
remembering eyes,
l still discern a likeness which the
years can not disguise;
And still he seems. howe'er his time he
chooses to employ,
That tousle-headed, freckle-faced, or
dinary boy!

An old lady in Missouri took her
first railroad trip the other day. She
noticed the bell cord overhead. and.
turning to a boy she said. sonny,
what's that fOr?"
THAT, marm," he said, with a mis-
chievous twinkle, "is to ring the bell
when you want something to eat"
Shortly afterward the old lady
reached her umbrella up and gave
1t a vigorous pull. The train was in
the middle of trestle. The whistle
sounded, the brakes were pulled on,
the train began to slacken its speed,
windows were thrown up. questions
asked and confusion reigned among
the. passengers. The old lady sat
calmly through it all.
Presently the conductor came run
ming through the train and asked
"Who pulled the bell?"
"I did" replied the old lady meekly
"Well, what do you want?" asked
the conductor impatiently.
"Well, said the old lady meditative-
ly, you may bring me ham sand
wich and a cup Of tea, please. But

THE FACE is AN INDEX.

The face of every human being is an
open book which can be read by any
observant person. The thought which
engages the mind, the influences
which govern the person, the motives
which actuate and the sentiments
which predominate in the mind, are
So plainly depicted upon the counte-
nance that it is impossible to conceal
them from the eye Of the student of
human nature.
Therefore it is impossible to long
hide ones real, genuine character
from the world The every line of
the face, the glance of the eye, the an
gular corners of the mouth and jaws,
all speak in indlsputable language.
Pleasant thoughts, which smooth
out the wrinkles and leave the beau
tiful curves of the fact delicate and
attractive, may be read upon the face
as far as you can see the wearer.
1t is impossible to be greedy, miser-
ly, vindictive, cunning, cruel or selfish
ard not have 1t advertised in your
face. And 1t is equally as impossible
to be cheerful, kind. sympathetic, lib
eral and sincere and not have It print
ed in plain letters on your counte-
rance.
The face is a truthful index to your
character.

probably be "superannuatcd" at this

in the last quadrcnnium and their
places vii have to be filled. II is pos
