INITIATIVE MEASURES
TO BE VOTED UPON.

The second measure to be printed
by the East Oregonian, detailing the
different proposed laws to be sub
mitted to the people in June by the
initiative and referendum deals with
a proposed amendment to the state
constitution. 1t provides for an
amendment of section of article IA,
of the constitution, by which state
institutions may be located elsewhere
than at the state capital. There are
19 measures in all to come before the
people.
The second measure printed today
dealing with the location of state in
situations, will appear on the ballot
as follows:
Referred to the people by the leg
islative assembly. For an amendment

stitution, to permit the location of
state institutions elsewhere than at
the seat of government by act of the
legislature and vote of the people
Vote yes or no. SO2. Yes. 3OS.

The amendment was passed by the
last legislature and, as by law pro-
vided, has been submitted to the peo-
pie for their approval or rejection.
The resolution as it was adopted by
the legislature is as follows:
"Be it resolved by the senate, the
house of representatives concurrlng:
That section 3 of article XIV of the
constitution of the state of Oregon be

THE NEW WONDER.

Picking up the fleet a thousand

wireless telegraph, which is every
day making manifest it's utility in
many fields of industrial life. The
ocean may be trackless, but the mar

less. If in distress he may summon
other navigators to his assistance,
He is in touch with civilization in
a few years ago, even in this age of
marvels.
A passenger steamer coming up
Long Island sound last week was
found to be afire. An announce
ment that the boat was afire would
create a panic that would cause the
loss of many lives. The captain sent
wireless to the sister boat on the
same line which came and took the
passengers off who were meantime
appraised of the conditions and OF
the fact that the rescued steamer was
soon to join them. Panic was avert

This is only one of the many spe-
ciflc instances where the wireless has
opened up new fields of usefulness.

FOR ONE LITTLE GIRL.

The East Oregonian has received a
note from a dear little girl, not over
Is, judging from her letter, asking
how to start to become a writer and
newspaper woman.
This question is much easier writ
ten than answered 1t all depends
On several things, dear.
First. you must be sure that you
have the newspaper instinct. that is.
the ability to recognize news and to
grasp its most essential features.
Second. you must have ability to tell
your story, forcibly, gracefully and in
an attractive manner. Third, you
must be willing to work, to train your
mind. to think rapidly, to select the
most appropriate word on the short
est possible notice, to be natural, to
follow closely to the facts, to be plain,
honest, unassuming and sincere at all
times
You have noticed the birds of spring
starting to build nest. The first
straws they place are never placed
right; they change them and rear
range them with infinite patience;
tho, oratbo, .hai, r,o+ar;at ,,-fth conn,
pulous care; they make dozens of ef-
forts before finally the foundation of
their future home is laid, but when
they finally get the foundation in
place it is substantial.
So with you. Select your subject,
first. Not some high and sentimen-
tai subject which may appeal to you
on account Of its romance or literary
fascination. But select some simple
subject with which you are thorough
ly familiar. Then use plain. COM
mon words and tell the story in 4
straightforward manner, two or three
times. Write and rewrite it. polish
it as you go over and see how many
useless words you can eliminate after
your first trial
And remember: There are over
$4,000. 900 people in the United States.
Out OF this vast multitude perhaps
1000 successful prominent writers
are making fame and fortune out of
the literary profession. So II you do
not succeed in reaching the top of the
ladder, do not despair
Ambition is sweet, labor Is insplr-
ing. Keep on climbing toward the
summit. Build well as you go-but
keep on going.

MIR GEER'S REASONS.

The East Oregonian challenges 7,
7. Geer to give more than one logi-
cal and bona fide reason why he
should be elected to congress this
year in place of w. R. Ellis, who is
now in the harness and in position to
help the state Of Oregon in securing
needed legislation.
One reason for Mr.. Geer's candida
cy, which is apparent to every one, is
that Mr.. Geer wants the office. Aside
from this one paramount reason the
East Oregonian challenges Mr.. Geer
or his Pendleton Tribune. to give one
good reason why he should have the
office.
Because he wants the office is no
reason why the people should sacri-
flee the services of an experienced
man who is now in the office and
who has just organized his forces for
good work. 1t would be extremely
Improbable for the state to give Mr..
Geer the office simply because he
wants 1t.
Suppose he should want the people
to give him a $500 wheat farm.
Would that be any reason why the
voters should make him a present of
the farm?
There would be just as much logic
in giving him a farm because he
wanted it as to give him this office
simply because he wants it.
The people are paying out $500 per
year for the services of a congress-
man. The office belongs to the peo-
pie and they must have value receiv-
ed for the salary They give this
salary in exchange for certain quail
fications and services.
II an office-seeker has no vital
qualifications, and lacks experience
beside, why should the people give
him this place and pay out this
money? Why not expend this large
sum where it will bring returns? Do
good business men change off expert
enced servants for inexperienced serv. e..
ants simply because the new fellow
comes along and asks for the place?
Let us apply business logic to this
matter of selecting congressman.

U'REN'S PRINCIPLES.

There are many people in Oregon
who do not like W. S. U'Ren. There
b especially bitter feeling against him
from certain element of the repub-
lican party, and it may be said also
that a large number Of old line demo-
Gratis have never been guilty Of
sleeping under the same blanket with
him.
But Notwithstanding these petty
dislikes, U'Ren has a noble and in
spiring principle for his battle cry.
When the little group Of Christians
who formed the nucleus of the first
crusade. saw Peter the Hermit, the
dwarfed, insignificant, homely and
almost repulsiye figure, they revolt
ed and declared that not even the
cross Of the Savior could bind them to
the leadership Of such a monster.
But when the keen mind Of Peter
began to unfold to them the exalta-
lion of their undertaking, and to in
spire them with high and holy senti-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-03-24

ment, they forgot the features Of the
hermit and saw only his cleaning
eye, heard only his lofty speech,
Everybody knows the history OF Peter
the Hermit's leadership. 1t stands
unsurpassed in history.
So no matter how much certain
republicans and democrats dislike Mr..
U'Ren because of his somewhat mi
eratory career through the different
political parties of oregon, neverthe-
less, there is that in his principles
which must inspire every right-mind-
ed man to the highest sentiments of
patriotism and citizenship.
URen stands absolutely for the
people. There is no higher political
creed. He has surrendered every
selfish aim. every selfish motive,
every selfish method for the common
good. He would make the people
absolutely supreme in the govern
ment. He would make every official
subservient to the people. He would
take all the power from the individ-
ual politician and place every office
in the hands of the voter.
This is getting down deep into the
principles of free government. 1t is
placing the sacred trust Of govern
ment in the hands of the people
above the reach of political vendors
and partisan traffickers.

STUDY THE NEW LAWS.

The East Oregonian Is going to
publish all the proposed laws which
will be before the people for their
consideration at the coming state
election. There are 10 OF these laws
and a number of them are of vital
Importance, especially the tax reform
measure which would revolutionize
taxation and assessment in the state
If it were passed.
From day to day these measures
will be published for the considera-
ton Of the readers of the East Ore
gonian. The state has wasted sew
eral thousand dollars in publishing
the 10 laws in a pamphlet to be sent
out to voters, but the newspapers will
reach the people and give them their
only ineligible information on the
subject.
Had the same money that was
spent for the 100000 useless pamph-
lets, been expended with the newspa-
pers Of the state, the voters would
have receive dfull value for the ,ex-
pense, but as it is the money is paid
to the state printer and the newspa-
pers will perform their services free
of charge.
The readers Of the East Oregonian
are cordially invited to read the
measures as they are published, and
then vote intelllgently upon them.

People are wondering why Father
Peter C.. Yorke Of San Francisco, a
noted Catholic priest, and Rabbi
Johan C. Wise, Jewish rabbi. also
of San Francisco, are defending the
grafters Of the Bay City and bitterly
assailing the prosecution. It seems
that all religions, regardless Of race

reted out and punished. Because a
Methodist is caught in crooked work
where there could be no doubt of his
guilt, would that justify a Methodist
bishop or minister in denouncing the
men who discovered the guilt and
brought the man to justice? Should
not the high church officials rather
assist in wedding out their religions

ors?

munity than are known. The husband
who kills q paramour too often does
II In cowardly fashion. either shoot
ing him In the back from behind q
wall or In the dark. There Is too apt
to be an element of cowardice in the
way 1t is done that robs 1t of the fine
frenzy Of feeling with which II is col
ored by the lawyers for the defense.
Frequently the causes that lead up to
these tragedies are known by the
husband long before, and even some
times condoned. My impression Is
that there exists a sort of inexplicable
vanity, an exaggerated egotism, that
inspires the semi-heroic attitude of In
1ured virtue assumed by the husband
who shoots another man on his wife's
account.
There Is another strange evolution
OF modernism, quite as remarkable and
twisted in its way as the husbands
motives for killing. The community,
going back to the laws Of barbarism.
adopts the husbands assumed proper
ty rights in the wife to be the moral
solution OF far more complicated
problem than they realize. Public SYM
pathy with these cases depends upon
the dramatic skill with which the hus-
band presents his story, the manner in
which he performs his supreme act of
egotism. He may so blunder In the
frenzy OF his attempt to impress upon
the public his chagrin and rage that
they discover an element of the ludic-
rous in the very heart of an actual
tragedy.
Deeadent Public Opinion.
Such man may often neglect his
wife, subject her to extraordinary
cruelty, within the law, however, or
completely ignore her tastes and in
clinations, and suddenly he Is sur
prised that she runs away with some
one else. After brooding over his lost
property, and fearing the criticism Of
the community, he makes one final ef-
fort to be sincere, and kills the other
man, usually In some melodramatic
fashion, taking care to save his own
skin. While my arraignment is not
sweeping, there is certainly to-day a
large number Of individuals whose de-
velopment takes place in community
where public opinion is decadent and
there may be false standard of duty
and heroism. These people are quite
apt to do foolish things, or to disre-
gard the advantages and available help
afforded nv the law
while 1t may seem an extreme
thing to say, do not think anyone
can help but deplore certain visible
decadence which finds its expression
in love Of sensationalism, in the I'M
healthy tone of certain parts of the
public press, by the appetite for a de-
generate literary pabulum in the way
Of commonplace novels, which are full
Of cheap sentiment and mock hero
ism; and by very irregular and-Sn-
stable social institution which exists
to-day. Those Of us who have watched
the drift must regret the growing

Oriuin of Courts-Martial.

The custom of holding courts-mar-
tial in our navy after eSery case Of
shipwreck has a curious origin. In
1741 the Wager, one of Commodore
Anson's vessels, was wrecked OF the
coast of Chile, most Of the crew being
saved.
The men and some Of the junior
officers held that they were no longer
amenable to discipline, because their
pay ceased with the wreck, but the
captain, whose name was Davy Cheap.
differed, treated them as mutineers.
and shot one of the midshipmen. He
was then deposed and most Of the
crew made of In the boats.
Later, when 1t was proposed to pro-
coed against the so-called mutineers.
the law officers of the crown decided
that the men ha1 been correct in their
view. This discovery led to the fran.
ing of section 81 Of the articles OF war.
which provides that in case of ship
wreck, destruction or capture by the
enemy ship has to be deemed to re-
main in commission pending inquiry
into the circumstances by a courtmar-

tendency to disregard the traditions Of
80, and even rs years ago, but we are
powerless to antagonize the intellec-
tual erethism which sometimes even
under the guise Of scientific progress
leads people to do foolish and incon-
siderate things.
"You may ask what all this has to
do with emotional insanity and the
commission of murder, and my reply
must be that where there Is an exist
ence which feeds upon sensation and
separates itself from sanity and cool
exercise of judgment, we may expect
more or less moral decline.
