BACK To THE PIT?

Roosevelt has spoken upon a po-
litical topic and it was the subject
OF the direct primary. He favors the
same and in writing to Lloyd C Girls
com. chairman OF the republican coun-
ty committee Of New York said he
most earnestly hoped the direct pri-
mary bill would be adopted by the
New York legislature. Roosevelt
wants New York to get out Of the pit
Of machine rule and corruption.
But the bill was not passed despite
the fact that f, was favored by Col.
Roosevelt by Governor Hughes and
sthers Of the New York reform con-
tingent Why? Because the legisla-
ture was selected under the convention
system and is made up Of men who
do not represent their people. They
were placed in office by bosses and
bosslets and the legislators do their
bidding Naturally the bosses and the
bosslets do not wants the direct pri-
mary. It would take their power from
them.
Il is hard for any state to secure a
direct primary law until it first ge:s
the initiative and referendum. Wher-
ever direct primary laws are enacted
b-. legislatures the work is but half
done. Oregon's direct primary sys-
TEN was established through the use
O. the initiative and the political
bosses were not consulted when the
law was drafted. The law IS complete
The question in Oregon now is
Shall the people give up the reforms
that have been accomplished? Shal
we annul the direct primary by TAX
ing UP with the assembly scheme
which is the old convention system
revived in a more vicious form? Ar
the people tired Of making nomina
tions direct and do they want t.
leave that business again with tn
machine bosses and their followers
DO We want 70 nave OuL 6v'Fli4'4'
judges and legislators chosen by thes

Do we want 10 give up the direct cleo

! congress and it shows something Of
the work that will he taken up at the
spokane session:
Conservation of moisture is the
first cardinal of dry farming. The
farmer must know how to conserve
! the limited moisture his soil receives
| in the form of rain or snow. He must
know how much moisture his ground
receives, how it is distributed through
out the year and how much he loses
/ by evaporation under normal condi,
tions. He must know his climate.
The dry farming congress obtains
official data regarding rainfall and
evaporation and gives it to its men,
bers. It encourages and promotes
more accurate observation and record
ing of precipitation. seasonal distri-
button of rainfall and rate of evapor-
alton under normal conditions.
MANY farmers in the semi-arid
west have created soil reservoirs in
desert land by deep plowing and con-
stant cultivation.
DO YOU know what that means?
Do you know that by opening your
soil the greatest possible depth at the
right time, YOU permit the moisture
that falls in the form of rain or snow
To penetrate to depth proportionate
to the depth of your burrows? Do
YOU know that mulch on the surface
o. your field will check evaporation
and that the more perfect your mulch
the nearer will the evaporation ap-
proach zero? Do you know what
kind of mulch will give the best re-
suits in your particular district? Do
you know how to make that mulch?
The Dry Farming Congress assem-
bles all available information on these
vitally important subjects and gives
il to its members.
1T aims to put at your service the
knowledge wrung from the experience
of farmers on dry land and gathered
from the researches at experiment and
demonstration farms and in labora-
tories of individuals. state and gov
crnment institutions. Its purpose is
to enable you to know how to con-
serve the moisture so that your dry
lands will yield fruitful harvest"
Would it not be we'll worth while
for eastern Oregon farmers to at
tend the sessions Of the congress?

A KNOWING GIRL.

When young Lord Stanleigh came
to visit an American family, the mis-
tress told the servants that in ad-
dressing him they should always say
His Grace. SO when the young gent
leman one morning met one of the
pretty house-servants in the hallway
and told her that she was so attract
ive-looking he thought he would kiss
her, she demurely replied, clasping
her hands on her bosom and looking
up into his face with n beatific ex-

as a dismal failure. II got him in

rumors are anoat that IL he persists
in his criticisms he will be expelled
from the church.
The Rev. John B. Whitford, of OK

ference is the man in question: says

en- years ago. remaining there four
years, and then went to southern
Michigan.
The Detroit News says:
Rev Mr.. Whitford has called the
methods of the Anti Saloon league in
this state" repressive," Persons who
are not against the sale of liquor
within legal bonds say that bishop
and other officials in the Detroit dis
trict conference have ordered Mr..
Whitford to cease his remarks or
await expulsion.
Mr.. Whitford prophesies stinging
defeat for the prohibition interests
next spring.
What they gained as crusaders
with dash and daring and rosy prom
ises they could not hold" he says.
Growing centers of population slip
ped from their grasp. The over-con-
fident advocates and defenders of re-
preston had much sympathy and an
immense chorus of acclaiming voices
at the start. They also measurably
succeeded I'm branding the opposition
as a worker of iniquity. To minds un-
trained to processes of thought the
spectacular and tawdry made a strong
appeal. They made their constituency
believe that the men who did not see

clean.
"Why then, did they not succeed?
II is serious matter 10 assail by
force the citadel of personal liberty.
Another cause was the feeling devol-
oped by observations and experience
that such repressive methods are in
effectual. Furthermore, today there
is a growing sense of individual re-
sponsibility, and fourth contribut-
ing cause to the defeat of the move
ment is that the prohibtionists have

for September play Instead, one cup
goes TO the woman of the club making

other to the man making the best SIM

The play for these trophies is al
