AFTER PHELPS SCALP.

A few disgruntled saloon men and
a bunch Of law-breaking gamblers
who have been indicted and punished
for their crimes by District Attorney
Phelps, have determined to get his
scalp" in the coming election.
Mr.. Phelps has been renominated
by the republicans of this district
without opposition and outside of a
few Of the sore saloon men there
is no opposition to his re-electin. And
this opposition is founded upon the
fact that Mr. Phelps did his duty and
enforced the laws which these fell
lows persisted in breaking.
The people Of this district appreci-
ate Mr.. Phelps services during his
present term and will re-elect him by
handsome vote. The opposition
which he has aroused is a credit to
him and will strengthen him with the
solid people Of the district.
Perhaps rs per cent Of the saloon
men OF both Umatilla and Morrow
counties are now obeying the law
closely and are thankful that check
has been put upon the disreputable
joints which were formerly disgrace
to the liquor business. These law
abiding saloon men are not after
Mr. Phelps. They will not oppose
his reelection and in fact they are
glad to support him, to the end that
he may be continued in office to con-
duct his vigorous policy Of law en-
fcrcement against the macque, the
joint and the tinhorn.
Within the past. week half a dozen |
Of the old-time tlnhorns OF Pendle- !
ton have returned to lnaugurate a
campaign against Mr. Phelps re-elec-
tion, in hopes that they may some day
return, when the coast is clear" and |
open up in Pendleton.
But that day will never come. Pro-
hibitlon is so unpleasantly close to |
the surface that the liquor interests !
cannot afford to attempt to punish |
any official for enforcing the law |
against them. The people are with
the man who enforces and respects
the law.

4 POLITICAL DISEASE.

S. A. Lowell Of this city, who has
been an avowed advocate Of the pop
rlar election Of United States sena-
tors in Oregon for number Of years,
in a communication in the Pendleton
Tribune this morning, in which ne at
tempts to explain T. T. Geer's defeat
for the congressional nomination, says
in the course Of his article that
statement No. is political dis
ease which will pass away like the
itch IN childhood"
Since Mr.. Lowell has declared pub
llcly that he has two ambitions in
life. to-wit: To be United States SEN
ator and governor Of Oregon. his dec
laration this morning is interesting.
As the enforcement OF statement
No. / IS simply the act Of electing
the peoples choice for senator, which
principle Mr Lowell has declared to
favor in the past, people will wonder

WASHINGTON is WEARY.

The state Of Washington is weary
of the senatorial deadlock and cor
ruption which has cursed the state
since it was first admitted to the
Union, and when the Washington
State Press association meets in the
near future the editors of the Ever
green state will demand that legisla-
tive candidates subscribe to statement
No. l, which has been used in Ore
gon to avoid senatorial deadlocks.
Everywhere the sentiment in favor
Of the popular election of United
States senators is growing. No amount
of organized opposition can check it.
The senate itself is the strongest ar
gument in favor of the principle.
The Washington editors have taken
hope from the sweeping victory for
the principle in Oregon and will de-
mand that the system be ingrafted
irto the Washington primary law. 1t
is right. 1t is wholesome. 1t is far
and high above any former method
O. electing senators and 1t has come
to stay Ridicule will not kill it.
Testing cannot check it. Partisan
quibbling cannot hold back the over
whelming waves.

SLAUGHTER OF THE TREES.

"All our standing timber is esti.
mated to be somewhere between
fourteen hundred and two thousand
billion feet" says Emerson Hough In
"The Slaughter OF the Trees" in the
May Everybodys.
III We use forty billions per an
mum, we can run S5 to so years az
the present rate, provided we do not
have any waste. II we use one hun
dred billions per annum, our timber
will last Ii TO 20 years, on the same
basis. If we use one hundred and
fifty billions per annum in nine to 13
years our timber will all be gone!
We have now about 10000, 900 acres
in our national reserves. II we had
three times that much, we should
not have enough.
IF it costs 20 acres a Sunday, or
30 acres a week, or 20S0 acres a year
TO print one daily newspaper, what
does 1t cost in acreage to print all the
newspapers in the cities and towns
OF America? Add to this the enor-
nous editions Of our magazines. Add
to this the paper used in books.
The total staggers the imagination
and yet the amount Of timber cut for
pulp in the United States annually is
less than five per cent of what is
cut for lumber. Last year we made
more than 315,OO0,OOO lead pencils.
A lead pencil is not very large. but
the total number of lead pencils re-
.quired 100000 cubic feet of cedar.
We have cedar enough to last us Just
l2 years.
More than. 100000 acres OF tim
Der, in the whole United States, are
cut over every working day. We use
many times more timber per capita
than any other nation. We have left
not over 45O,OOO,OOO acres bearing
commercial timber. Cast up in YOUR
mind some of the small demands of
Industry upon this supply. Our rail-
roads are said to use one-third of the
industrial timber cut for ties. Sup
pose we could cut one hundred ties
TO the acre; we should require a mill |
lion acres year for ties. We an
nually reap for telegraph and tele-
phone poles somewhere between three |
and four million acres of land. Our
tanneries two years ago required L.
$4,000 cords of bark. In the same |
year we cut l1,S5S,26O shingles and
S'Sl2,Ss7 laths. Then we had TO
timber our mines, and for that we |
used 165,OOO,O0O cubic feet, not board
measure, much of which was the best
of hardwood"

PLANTATION this morning.
The people OF oregon have taken
an advanced stand on the popular
election OF United states senators and
they will never recede from it. The
primary law gives the people abso.
lite freedom and they will exercise
their God-given rights hereafter in
their own way, regardless of the ma
chimes, organizations. cliques and
clans OF politics
We may attempt to ridicule the
election OF United States sem
ators and compare 1t with the itch
in childhood" but the people become
serious when confronted with the
likeness Of oregon's past corruption
IN senatorial elections.
II Mr.. Lowell expects to be United
States senator from Oregon he will
have to get in line with the people of
the state who have declared their
principles twice in succession in Ore
gon and who will never again elect a
senator opposed to the popular cleo
ton OF senators.
Political freedom is not a political
disease. The people have as much
sense and judgment as the so-called
leaders and they will do their own
thinking hereafter.

Swan Erickson, who, like the Ill
lies, toiled not, neither does he spin,
was up before Judge Brissell, and
got the limit for several kinds of
vagrancy. He was tried on the day
before and was found guilty of every
kind of vagrancy in the calendar.
Erickson fastened his affections
on to a young woman of the sunset
district, named Thelma, who was in
experienced in the wiles of the genus
macqueraux. Experienc later on
brought to that pretty young thing
that tired feeling, and she yearned
to be rid of the creature; but the
creature fain would stick, and he
threatened to kill her if she did not
yield to his attentions and contrib
ute to his support. He grabbed her
purse from her one afternoon near
the postoffice, but returned it later,
when he learned that she had told
her troubles to policeman. He was
fired into the city bastile, but his
case was postponed for a day and on
the promise of himself and his attor-
ney that he would be on hand, was
allowed his liberty. Next day he
was gone.
