OTHER WAYS OPEN.

Oregon people are now talking of
state division. Some of the southern
Oregon counties would like to secede
from Oregon and join with northern
California in the creation of new
state, siskyou.
1t is easy to understand the feelings
o6 the southern Oregon people. At
times in the past eastern Oregon too
has had disappointments and the peo-
pie have thought of state division.
But there will be no division, how
ever desirable a change in the boun>
daries might be. For the wrongs
they suffer southern Oregon and east
ern Oregon will have to seek other
means of redress. Several ways are
open.
In legislative matters eastern Ore
gon and southern oregon should stand
together in demonstrating to the Will
lamette valley that the state Of Ore
gon has territory outside the district
between Portland and Eugene. The
people Of the valley should to taught
that if they show narrow spirit tow
ards eastern and southern Oregon they
will be repaid in kind. Salem should be
told to keep such men as Senator j.
n. Smith out of the legislature if they
wish to retain the capital. Lane and
Benton counties should be made to
understand that if they want adequate
support for their institutions Of learn
ing their legislators should manifest
proper regard for the interests Of
eastern and southern Oregon.
Portland, too, should be impressed
with the idea that the eastern and
southern sections of the state have
needs that must be respected. Both
eastern and southern Oregon have
normal schools they wish maintained.
Portland should be liberal enough to
favor these schools If that city wishes
to retain the business it has with east
ern and southern oregon towns.
1t is idle to talk of state division.
But there are other ways by which
eastern and southern oregon may
make effective their demands for JUS
tice.

terprises now planned will be big

money and hard work. But If the
people interested will but get to-
gether and work intelligently the pro-
position can be carried through sue,
At this time a group of farmers are
trying to build a road from Umatilla
landing to the Holdman country. They
believe they will succeed. But If for
any reason they cannot carry out the
project then they should be given help.
Local people should cooperate with
them and see that the line is built and

RETRIBUTION.

The war now underway upon the
Deschutes is being watched with inter-
est by the entire state. For reasons
that are plain the people of the inter-
ior are especially pleased with the ac-
tivity now on.
If the Prineville Review expresses
the sentiment of the people of that
section sympathy is with the "mys-
terious invader" rather than with the
Hartman people.
For years and years" says the Re-
view, Hartman has neglected this
territory, openly sneering at its trade,
MIXED it regularly with becoming dig
nifty, soft-soaped it with repeated in
sincere promises of a railroad, and
otherwise encouraged immigration
and settlement with advertising and
assurances the latter of which he has
not intended nor does not now intend
to keep. Now his saw has struck a
nail"
Continuing the Prineville paper
charges that Hartman has never real
ly intended building up the Deschutes
and says:
The people up here do not censure
Mr.. Hartman for not building the
Deschutes road. As a local proposition
it would be a failure while cutting off
one-half the gross tonnage of the
Columbia Southern, a road that bare
ly manages to pay the 1-2 per cent
on its $1,OOO,OOO bonds annually. But
the people do blame him for repeat
edly promising to build and just as
repeatedly forgetting the promise;
they blame him for not extending
either the Columbia Southern or Cor
wallis & Eastern, the termini of which
are practically at our threshold now;
they blame him for his policy of in
reference.
Now he is against he knows not
what, and he can not only not build
the new road himself, but he has the
bitter knowledge that the other power
is going to build right under his nose
and into his hitherto safely bottled
up, sacred territory. 1t is retributlon."

Commoner strikes Back.
To this Mr.. Bryan makes the follow
ing comment:
ut is as we feared it would be.
President Taft declines to recommend
the submission of a constitutional
amendment providing for the election
of United States senators by popular
vote. In the same speech in which he
declared for an income tax he said he
was personally inclined to favor the
popular election of senators. He rec
ommends an income tax, but declines
to recommend the senatorial PROPOSE
| ton.
"It seems that he does not regard
| his expression of personal friendliness
as committing him to any effort to Sc
cure the amendment. AS it is no
necessary for him to sign a joint res
| olution submitting such an amend
ment, and as he now declines to rec
ommend it, it would look like his ref
erence to it was matter of surplus
age. 1t is hardly fair to hold out sucl
hopes during the campaign and thel
disappoint them when the election i
