Fair Sample of Argument.

With vile liquor coming in by the draw
load in different parts of the county,
even at tho county seat, where the tenn
perance papers are strangely silent about
what it's openly claimed is going on boot
logging apparently is bound to be a
profitable business without much fear Of
punishment South Haven Gazette.
The above extract is fair
sample of the misrepresentation
and mis-statements-we would
be fully justified in using a
palmer and more emphatic word
that is being resorted to by
people who desire to have Van
Buren, county return to the era
of the open saloon and free
whisk ely. Liquor is not coming
into the county seat by the "dray
load, nor are there, as far as
can be ascertained, any viola
tions of the law. The Gazette
may rest assured that If there
were such violations the officers
of the county would speedily be on
the track of the offenders. Past
experience has not demonstrated
that the punishment of boot
leggerS is such a difficult matter
as the Gazette iDtimates when it
says that sit is ten to one that
the authorities will fall fat in
trying to make out case They
may not succeed in securing a
conviction by reason of the Ca
zette'S sensatiOnalism. but that
signifies but little
We knOW that no such condi-
ton exists at the county seat as
the Gazette described and, can
didly, we do not believe any such
state of affairs exists, even in
South Haven, and the officials of
the county who have made thor
ough investigation of the matter,
have come to the deliberate con-
clusion that the Gazette's exag-
gerations should be taken cum
grono sails. Possibly, if they
possessed the same degree of ex-
perience in such matters as does
the Gazette, they might more
easily discover "booze" Joint
The Gazette should not worry
about the Temperance papers
at the county seat. They will
not be found silent, strangely, -
or otherwise on this matter, but
will be found active ia showing
up the truth in regard to the
workings of the law. AS active,
indeed, as any of the liquor or
gans may be in disseminating
transformation for the purpose
of deceiving the people as to the
real situation in our county.

The Senatorial Question.

The matter of the selection OF
al. S. senator under the prima-
nv law is and has been receiv-
ing considerable attention at the
hands of the press Of the state
as we'll as from others. The
point agitated is whether mem
Der of the legislature should be
controlled in casting his vote for
u. S. senator by the result of
primary action throughout the
state or whether he should be
controlled by the action taken
by his district,
Governor Warner has recently
placed his construction on the
law and issued a circular or
statement to the effect that a
plurality of the vote cast
throughout the state should con
troll legislative action.
While the Northerner does not
wish to deny any individual the
right to an opinion on the sub
iect it is, inclined to think that
the construction by a court of
competent jurisdiction would be
very much more satisfactory
than an opinion eminating from
the executive department OF the
state. The point that we are "a
representative government, both
state and federal, seems to have
been overlooked. The people
are represented by districts in
congress and in the states. The
constitutions of the states as well
as of the federal government re-
quires the people to elect their
legislative bodies by districts
and whether in congress or in
the state each member repre-
sents his district in all matters,
and it is the majority of the dis
tricts that control and thereby
the people rule according to the
letter and spirit of our institu-
tons.
The constitution of the u. S.
provides in respect to the cleo
ton Of a u. S. senator. The
senate of the u. S. shall be com
posed of two senators from each
state, chosen by the Legislature
thereof, for six years. " The
state constitution does not pre-
sumo to run counter to this fed
eral provision, and all state leg
islature presumes to do in the
matter is to prescribe the time,
place and methods by which this
is to be done. The primary
vote on the choice is directory
and advisory merely. 1t could
not be otherwise. There is no
more constitutional authority for
the legislature to establish a rule
by which this direction or adj
vice shall be expressed by plu-
rality of the votes of the entire
state than there is that it may
pass a law that all the members
of the legislature should be
placed on one ticket and elected
at large by the people as a
whole. Such course would
not only be unconstitutional but
it'would be unrepresentative. 1t
is true that a u. S. senator rep
resents the state as a whole, but
that doesn't make him a state Off
Ger as some of the press claim; he
is a federal officer, controlled by
federal law and the federal con.
stitution, and is amenable to fed
eral law entirely. He may be
impeached and expelled from
the senate by federal law. His

AN OBJECT LESSON
TO UMATILLA COUNTY

Walla Walla has realized at last
that in order to make a larger city
and more business for merchants that
the large land holder must 60.
Large tracts have recently been
sold for and $4,000 an acre and will
be divided into small tracts of and
10 acres and sold from 5000 to $1,000
an acre.
. The Blalock fruit farm is being d.
vided into acre tracts and sold at ST.
90 an acre.
To the people of Umatilla county
this ought to be an object lesson. We
have here just as good land, better
climate and more plentiful supply
of water and our land is selling for
one-fourth the price of land in Wal
la walla valley less than fifty miles
away.
Gentlemen, this had not ought to
be.
Umatilla county is the best place
for investment today in the north
west. Men who are working for a sal
ary, now is the time to invest in land
not 8 or 4 hundred miles away, but
in your own valley.
Soon electric lines will be here.
Soon capitalists will be here.
Are you going to let history repeat
itself. and let the men from outside
make the money which rightfully
belongs to you?
Remember that nowhere in the
northwest today can fruit and alfalfa
land be bought as cheap as 1t can In
the Umatilla valley. Now Is your
chance for investment. Now Is the
time for a man with small capital to
get a home 'that will make him inde-
pendent for life. II you do not take
advantage of this now when land
raises to $4OO and $500 dollars an
acre
Don't tell any one you did not know
because you have had It demonstrated
to you on every side.
Now is your chance, Now Is the
time. and right at home. Don't de.
fer nor neglect it. For this oppor-
tunlty will never present itself again
in UmatilIa county. Yours respectful

Four fires in "a hours has given
rise to the belief in the minds of
many that another fire epidemic has
struck the city About 400 little
chicks are reported to have lost their
lives in the third one, which occur
red about o'clock yesterday after
noon, while the fourth one caused
slight damage to the barn of Ernest
Temple. in East Pendleton.
The fire which killed the chickens
resulted from an incubator at the
Shull chicken yard on West Court
street. Hose company No. Z re-
sponded to the alarm, but as the
hose was about 200 feet too short
to reach the blaze 1t was impossible
to get water on the flames This is
one of the largest chicken ranches in
this vicinity and the loss falls heav-
lily upon the proprietor, John Shull.
The fourth fire occurred shortly
after midnight and was within a few
yards of the first of the four fires
which occurred about o'clock Mon
day morning at the intersection oi
Court and Alta streets. The alarm
was promptly given and the East
End hose company soon had the
flames under control before any grea
amount of damage was sustained.
The two fires in the East End beal
the marks of incendiarism, but nj
one has been able to supply a motive
for the malicious work if such i
should turn out TO be.
