SMASH THE ASSEMBLY.

Editor East Oregonian:
As time glldes by one of the most
important elections ever held in this
state looms before the people in the
primaries Of September "a. When
the voter goes to the polls he needs
must ask himself, Am I a standpat-
ter?" Is the existing government all
that 7 would have II ana nothing that
I would not approve Off" or, "Am I
progressive MANI" do believe that
this country. 50 rapidly developing,
Is in need Of as rapidly developing
modes OF government" The old ques-
tions which merely asked a person,
"Are you a democrat or a republi-
CAM" does not now suit the situation.
There is no need to follow the planks
of a platform, but -acn voter can at
glance choose his own walk The
broadest plan of party selection Is
"standpatter" or progressive" and
this is more or less surely coming 20
be the case.
What the republican party has stood
| for can now only be guessed at. When
an issue comes up as In the last con-
gress II was Haunted to the whole
country that the part of the party that
was really making the government
was Cannon Of the house and Aid
rich in the senate. AS Is evident, nc
bill except as a grant to maintain Sc
cure their positions could slip past
them that was not beneficial to mon
led interests. Revolving against this
corporation rule, the republican party
Is now torn asunder. Is the cause
OF the rupture the insurgents" OF
"progresslves," or on the part Of those
that prostituted the government fol
purely personal ends? Throughout thu
country, notably In Maine, Wisconsin
California and Washington, has Their
been struggle, shor,-iived in mos
Instances in which the progressive
element has lead at the polls by grea
margins. oregon is to be the mex
scene Of battle. But once before II
the whole political history Of Oregon
have the voters gone to the polls witt
questions OF such vital interest befor
: them. This was when Oregon too

THE OLDEST FLAG.

The flag Of Denmark, a plain red
banner bearing on it a white cross, Is
the Oldest flag now in existence For
300 wears both Norway and sweden
were united with Denmark under this
flag in the year 1919 King Walde-
mar of Denmark when leading his
troops to battle against the Livonians,
saw or thought he saw a bright light
IN the form Of a cross in the sky He
held this appearance TO be g promise
Of divine aid and pressed forward to
victory. From this time he had the
cross placed on the flag of his coun-
try and called it the Dannebrog-that
IL, the strength of Denmark.-Dondon

DDuCK VS.. BoWERMAN.

Naturally there is great interest in
tie race for the republican nomina-
ton for governor. The assemblyites
have combined all their forces in be-
half If Bowerman, the assembly Sc
lection, and they hope to see him
nominated. They find much comfort
In the fact that there are three op-
posing candidates.
But the antl-assembly forces should
not divide their votes among the three
opposing candidates. II they use good
judgment they will unite for Judge
Grant b Dimick who is plainly the
strongest OF the three men who are
running against Bowerman. AS the
East Oregonian has pointed out fire.
quently there are many reasons why
Dimick should be favored over either
Hofer or Abraham. DO not waste
your vote by casting 1t for either OF
the last named men. Assemblyites
would like to have you do so and
throughout the primary campaign
they have been touting Hofer and
Abraham In hopes Of taking votes
away from Judge Dimick.
II you want the republican party
to name a progressive and a true di.
rect primary man for governor ther
vote for Dimick

and incidentally the direct primary.
There is no political machine in the
state OF oregon today. There are no
men politically capable OF forming a
Quay circle" yet there seems 10 be
many candidates for that doubtful
honor a few Of these have after two
years Joined together and through the
aid Of the Oregonian formed the as
sembly These pdpa;ters-believ-
ers in corporation rule ana special in
terests. met and selected a list Of
candidates whom they put out as the
choice OF the republican party. The
Oregonian has Withdrawn much of its
good will from this body which seems
to think that all candidates not ap-
proved by the assembly should be shot
as traitors to Oregon's republican par
". or something 10 that effect. The
same howl Of fitness and unfitness
was heard in Maine. Wisconsin. Cali
fornIa and Washington. In each case
the hindering man. the believer in the
present has given way TO the pro-
gressive man. the believer in provid-
ing for a future government that will
meet AlE HNAHa4iuS u Ni'N N''AiS-
In the primary election the voter
will merely have the opportunity Of
choosing an assembly candidate or an
anti-assembIy man. In other words
the voter has right TO decide wheth-
er a candidate, a dummy or would-be
political leader or a man Of progress
sive elements is to receive his vote.
With this situation before him a
voter who stands for good govern
ment cannot vote for an assembly
candidate.

ToMoRRoW's CONTEST.

In the primary election to be held
tomorrow the contest will be mainly
between the progressive element with
ir the republican patty ana the re-
dictionaries or standpatters of that
party To an extent similar strug
gle will be waged within the ranks
o; the democratic party, though that
struggle is arousing little interest be-
cause the party is in the minority in
Oregon.
The contest TO be fought out to-
morrow started many months ago
when the machine or standpat ele-
ment first evolved definite plans for
the overthrow OF the direct primary
law and OF other progressive meas
ures now embodied in the laws Of
Oregon.
In the campaign that has been
waged during the past few weeks the
reactionaries have been claiming they
intend no harm to the direct primary,
the initiative and referendum and
other reformatory measures But
such professions are entitled to no
credit because the actions of the as
cemblyites belle their words. The
reactionaries hate the direct primary
system and they want to Kill it. They
know It would be futile to attack the
law openly so they are trying to steal
In under cover of friendship for the
law and then stab It In the back. The
standpatters also hate the plan OF
electlng United States senators under
statement No. l: they hate the recall,
the initiative and referendum and the
corrupt practices act. Had they the
power they would do away with all
these progressive laws and take Ore
gon back to the old political sys-
tenn.
Regardless OF all arguments TO the
contrary assemblyism means retro
gression. II the present assembly
ticket wins out It will be but the first
move backward. II oregon elects an
assembly governor and an assembly
legislature other steps will at once
be taken against our progressive laws,
Those who favor political progress
will then have to fight hard and long
Or they will completely lose the ground
that has been gained during the past
few years
The struggle that IL on In Oregon
In but part Of the great contest that
IL on throughout the entire union
Everywhere It Is a fight between the
progressives and the standpatters. II
New York Roosevelt is leading th'
progressives in a fight TO the finish
with the "Old Guard" The SAM
fight has been waged In California
Iowa Kansas, Wisconsin, Washing
ton and other states. Almost with
out exception the progressives hav
won. They have done so becaus
they stand for what Is right Brief
stated the progressives demand tn
"sauare DEAL" OF in other words the
demand that this government shall b
administered in behalf of all the peo
pie and not for the benefit Of specis
interests.
Co out tomorrow, vote down tn
standpatters and their assembly slat
and thus place oregon strong an
square for the progressive cause.

with the rest Of the stuff"

Statement No. candidates for the
legislature make open and honorable
pledges to their constituents. Anti
statement legislators are usually tied
up by unseen strings to some political
boss or bosslet. Which sort of men
90 you favor?
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-09-23

Illinois has a legislature that is go
notoriously corrupt that It is dis
grace to the state and nation. Oregon
has had legislators of a similar type
in the days before statement No.
was brought into use.

THE TRUE MEASURE.

We live in deeds. not years: in
thoughts, not breath:
In feelings, not in figures on
the dial.
We should count time by heart
throbs when they beat
For God, for man, for duty,
He most lives,
) Who thinks most, feels noblest,
acts the best.
Life is but a means unto an
end-that end,
) Beginning. mean and end 10 all
things, God.

EARS AND SOURCE or SOUND.

II is q source OF wonder TO the think
ing individual as to how the ear can tell
from what direction a sound comes.
From latest experiments along this line
there seem to be two well defined
methods which the ear unconsciousy
uses. In the first place. It would be
well to state that IL sound is made at
n distance, either directly in front OF
or behind an auditor, he cannot posi-
bly, tell from which direction It is COM
ing In all such cases the auditor. I'M
consciously or by viii, turns his head to
the right or the left. Then usually II is
a simple matter
When a sound is made not directly in
front or behind, the direction is de-
duced from the difference In loudness OF
the sound received by the two ears, the
nearer ear perceiving OF course the
louder sound. and consequently, as we
know by experience that the farther
sound Is away the fainter II is. the
brain unconsciously uses the result OF
such experience. II the right ear is
toward the sound, the left ear hears a
fainter sound than the right, not only
because It Is slightly greater dis
lance from the source of sound, but
also on account of the heads throwing
what IL called "a sound shadow over
the left sr. The difference Is appreci-
able on account of the sound shadow
only when the wave length Of the
sound Is small compared with the
thickness of the head: but in long wave
lengths Lord Rayleigh has shown that
the phase at the right ear is ahead OF
that at the left and that the car un-
consciously takes advantage OF this in
determining the direction.
In hearing complex sounds, as the
music OF an orchestra OF a band, I'M
less the ears are equally distant from
the source the farther ear viii be sub
ject TO the sound shadow caused by
the head in varying degrees, the high
overtones throwing the greater shad-
ows and as the quality OF musical
sound depends on these overtones the
ears will hear sounds of different quail
ties.
As 10 the operation OF the sound
shadow, only the analogy to a shadow
thrown by an object In the light need
be pointed out The same rules apply.
In light shadow no light falls, and In
q sound shadow varying amounts" OF
sound fall-the reason any sound at
all falls In "A sound shadow Is on ac-
count of It's wave length. As the wave
length gets shorter and shorter-that Is
as the pitch rises higher and higher
less and less sound falls In the shadow
We know that no light falls I'm light
shadow This Ia because the wave
length is extremely short compared 10
sound wave length. As a result of this
Il In easy 10 see why We can hear
around a corner but cannot see around
