Gle that by the plow would thrive
Himself must either hold or drive,
Poor Richard.
The Oregonian quotes this as indi-
eating that farmers shouldn't med
die in public matters. The rhyme Is
wrong in fact, and human expert
ence. The man who farms is the
man who thrives. The lords OF
England have neither held nor drlV-
en- plows, yet they have had grea'
prosperity. The big trusts nave
thriven while the actual farmers
have held the handles or driven
their plows, generally both. Ihe
political machine swept many rat
plums into it's NAV here in Oregon
until the farmers abandoned the
plow long enough to adopt the rel
erendum, initiative and recall
Since that time the machine polltl-
clans have been building an assem-
bly," flying machine to pass over
he grangers and attain office. 1t

fight or two.

At one time the democratic party
in oregon lived from the crumbs
thrown out by the stewards of the
republican machine. 1t looks as if
we will soon set to the position of
having but one party in Oregon, di-
vided into two wings. The progress
sive elements will be in one wing
and the grab elements in the other
The grab-istic party has long eX-
listed as one party with two names
1t has ruled long and viciously.

Says the Stanfeld Standard: "The
grip of the landlord will soon be up
on us as in Europe. One genera
ton has seen the disappearance of
entire empires of free land given to
all who asked by a prodigal govern
ment. Another will see regal es-
tates and hordes of tenants unless
we are wiser than all the peoples
gone before"

At first the Oregonian's pet "as-
sembly was going to wipe out
statement No. one, the direct pri-
mary, the initiative and all the pro-
gressive legislation made by the peo-
pie since 1902 at one swipe. 1t was
all to go down the ash chute along
side the ship of state. Recently 1t
has been assuring us that the as
sembly was going to act in harmony
with the primary law, propose nee
essary amendments to the other
powers of the people and help the
people to rule. Perhaps by the time
the ASSEMBLY meets and it is
shown that it was sent by the votes
of less than twenty per cent of the
rank and file of the republican par
ty it will conclude to let the initia-
tive alone and try to deliver a U. s.
senator to the trusts on the sly

Judge Grosscup of Chicago says
the country needs a new party, and
goes on to express himself concern
'ng progressive steps needed. In
Oregon we do not need any new par
ties. We have a ballot that enables
us to run our parties and not lei
the politicians run us. So far as
oregon is concerned, at least, the
party of Lincoln is good enough tol
us. If we will lie down and SUM
her while thieves break in and steal
us blind that is our own fault ana
we will snooze just as hard under
one party name as another

MIR. oALDERHEAD's VOTE.

Congressman Calderhead is moi
only consistent but fearless. He was
one of the IA Republicans In the
house to vote against an income tax
It will be instructive II every voter
will carefully read what Mr.. Calder
head says about his vote, for It 4
safe to say that his vote and M
words express the feeling Of a very
large majority Of the republican lead
ers. This Is apparent notwithstand'
ing there were an votes for .ths
resolution and only IA against Il. Mr.
Calderhead said:
II am opposed to an income TAI
upon general principles. While 7
believe the federal government
should have power to tax the incomes
Of all the property in times OF grea'
emergency, the history of this cOun'
try proves that the sovereign powel
Of the nation invariably is exercised
to absolute seizure Of property ant
the impressment Of citizens into th'
military service. An income tax a.
this time is unnecessary.
"Tf it we're now constitutional Z
have such a tax, l should oppose 1T
Incorporation in a tariff bill. w
should, and we will obtain practically
all the revenues we need from Gus
toms duties. The effort to engraft Al
income tax upon the tariff bill 4
democratic policy pure and simple
II is a blow aimed at the protective
system, and l will under no circum
stances encourage such efforts.
''If we could have up the question
Of a constitutional amendment unde
circumstances which would insur'
careful consideration and make Ger
tain that the plan is not to be efploy
ed in ENGRAVING an unnecessary Ia
upon a tariff bill, / might be willinl
to have such power vested IN tn
federal government But J rot
against the income tax in every form
at the present time, as being. unre
publican and unnecessary"

WOULDN'T 1T MAKE YOU BOIL
ING MAD?

Suppose you, as an investor, had
bought stock in an enterprise upon
the assurance that nothing could pre-
vent it from earning dividends with
the regular periodicity Of the seasons
movements. Suppose you had got
one dividend and then waited pa
tiently for another, and were still
waiting for the letter-carrier to bring
1t around. Suppose you had paid
good hard cash for your stock and
bought it at its par value, Then
suppose, after lapse Of year OF
two, the patron saint Of your material
welfare sent you a letter stating that
he would buy your stock back for 30
cents on the dollar, Wa CHI you paid
for 1t. wouldn't 1t make you boil
ing mad?
However, that state Of anger might
even pass away, and you would con-
tent yourself by taking the 30 cents
but how much more would you cuss
when you found out that instead Of
so cents in cash, this patron saint OF
yours wanted to give you so cents
in goods that cost him about 10 cents
ON the dollar to make! Such must
be the condition Of mind of a com
pany Of st. Louis, as this is the ridic-
uIous proposition which their com.
pany is making to the thousand and
one druggists who hold Its stock
No wonder they are boiling mad

Ed Howe is his Atchison Globe
gives the following reasons for the
discharge Of Warden Haskell from
the penitentiary: while 1t has been
generally understood that W. H. Has
kell resigned as warden Of the penn
Tertiary because Of disagreement
with Governor Stubs, what that dis
agreement was has never been pub
llshed. Here It is, and Atchison is In
on It: Calvin Hudson, formerly Of
Atchlson, private secretary to Warden
Haskell, 'sassed' W. /. Biddle, one Of
the members Of the penitentiary
board, on the streets of Leavenworth.
Mr.. Biddle reported him to Warden
Haskell, who discharged him. The
warden then notified the governor OF
the vacancy, and asked that ne rec
ommend some person for the place,
Governor Stubs recommended q To-
peka negro. Warden Haskell refus-
ed to accept him, his resign ,ticn was
called for, and was forthcoming really
quicker than Governor Stubs want
ed it. After being dismissed, Calvin
Hudson hunted up W. /. BlddIe and
apologlzed and Mr.. BiddIe asked
Warden Haskell to reinstate him, but
the warden refused. The above story
is absolutely reliable. Capt. John
seaton Is authority for IT,"

TELI,rNG THE TRUTH.

u f VI VAlAlAlANW AMW AhSOAAnf sNN
The Hutchinson News says on the
subject Of "mlsrepresenting the ad-
mlnistration:
The News has never misrepresent-
cd Governor stubbs or his admins
tratIon and the Capital in It's pettish
display Of Ill humor ought TO be
ashamed OF itself. 1t Is true that
The News has presumed to state facts
regarding the administration, COM
mending some, condemning some.
But we have never Intentionally mis-
represented our great governor or the
glorious and seIf-admitted saints who
surround his throne. The News Is Q
Republican paper, supported Govern
or Stubs after he was nominated and
expects to do 80 again. But that Is
no reason why we should not print
the truth or suppress or pervert II as
Is necessary by such organs as the
Capital. And when the Capital takes
the proper view that 1t is entitled to
criticize President Taft and the Re-
publican congress, it surely Is not
fair to abuse The News just because
It does not close Its eyes to mistakes
of Republican state administration.
In fact we believe our criticism is not
only fair and honest but 1t is good
for the governor himself He Is SO
surrounded by soldering, slushy sy-
cophants that 1t is a good thing ne
occasionally realizes that there are a
lot of poole in the state of Kansas
who are not hanging onto his pie
counter or trying to get to glory on
his coat tail.
The trouble with all of these self
elected censors like the Capital Is
that they object to criticism while
they want to use 1t themselves. They
think they are too good and sweet
to be mentioned except In eulogy and
that any one who presumes to differ
from them is a traitor or q boss
thief. The Capital has its little ar
ray of tin gods which it worships In
public and anybody who does not join
in the service or take off his hat
when their names are mentioned, is
at once convicted and sentenced off
hand and without a chance for life,
It is such blind partizanship as that
exhibited by the Capital that arouses
radicals and is apt to injure these tin
gods as much as they are benefited.
The Capital takes the bold position
that everybody who believes as It
does is predestined to be saved, while
those who differ are on the road to
damnation. To such theory we re-
spectfully refuse to subscribe, The
Capital and Governor Stubs and the
gentlemen Of their circle often do
right and proper things and The News
il willing and does say so. Occasion
ally, once in a while, a good deal
more frequently than they should
they make holy shows OF themselves
and it is the duty Of The News and
Of all newspapers who dare print the
facts, to mention the performance
and inform the people.
