Christmas North and South.

Christmas North and South.
 Washington celebrates Christmas in the northern style. la New England that is to say. by simply closing the stores and keeping quiet-but Alexan dria. Va. celebrates in good old south ern style. with rockets. roman can dies. firecrackers, torpedoes. noise and general rejoicing hilarity.
 Northern people often wonder why 1t Is that the southerners celebrate Christmas like the Fourth of July and the latter holiday like Christmas. but the reason is not far to seek The southern Christmas is the Christmas of old Merrie England. Germany and France before the reformation. Accord ing to the view of all good and orrho dox Christians of that period. the birth or Christ was an event such as to cause delight and general rejoicing among men. and consequently they celebrated the Lords birthday with the proper demonstrations of rejoicing The Puritans were inclined to frown down religion of this sort. so that when America was settled by Cavalier and Puritan each celebrated the day ID his own way.-Washington Post

BLAME TT ON THE WOMAN.

THE woman thou gavost me" has
had 10 shoulder the blame Of IA good
many things since tho days OF Eve.
There Is apparent nowadays an un-
| ~mistaknbie movement TO place at her
door the present increased expense
of existence, the higher up keep OF
the human machine. We are 20
told that fol-de-rois are draining the
family treasury ana that Instead OF
spending the coin for hot rolls. the
modern housewife turns II over to the
milliner and the dry goods store.
G. II. Lands, in u recent speech at
indianapolis, published In the Indian
|apolis star, makes the charge boldly
ana openly, although in the extract
given below he did lay It on a rail-
road man;
"On the Monon train yesterday !
engaged in conversation with a pass
|enger brakeman. / asked him how
he was going 70 vote and he replied,
the straight republican ticket | ask
ed him II high prices had not struck
him ana he replied, Yes, and 50 has
high wages lie then told me hat "A
passenger brakeman's wages on the
Monnn between indianapolis and Chi
cago twelve years ago were from $55
.ot 80 per month. tie said they were
now from S77 to 10 $3.50. lie told
me that this increase in wages had
more than met the increase In his
living and that he was now saving
more money than he had ever before.
He said, however, that his wife and
children did not go 70 vaudeville nor
nickclodeons every night, nor had
the sewing machine gone out OF style
at his house.
'inat brakeman told me that the
women in some Of the homes in his
neiRhborhoOd who did the most kick
ing against high prices had turned
over their homework and drcssmak-
ing ana hat trimming To others. who
demanded good wages and were try
ing TO trot In a class that was too
swift for them. lie said they had
turned their backs on the sweet, henu-
tiful flowers and ribbons for their
hats and insisted on willow plumes.
lle sntd that one pair of shoes once
went with all their dresses, but that
now the pair of shoes had TO match
the dress.
What hat brakeman said Is true.
Tho people today who arc charging
their unhappy frame OF mind 10 high
prices Should charge Il to eXttuVl-
anc There ere too many people in
this country attempting To live auto
mobile lives ON Whcelharruw in

voters of the state, and geek TO slip II
through in the guise Of amendments
glaringly marked by attempts at I'M
tiative log rolling.
The Orcgonian, IN this article. Is
not advocating the adoption of the
bili providing Tor "A constitutions con-
vention, but II doe assert that " the
constitution needs or is TO have gen
eral revision, the proper method Of
ACCOMPLISHING it Is not by adoption of
"a constitution framed by men OF alta
vistic mental tendencies or by men
whose genius is measured by their
powers OF imitation.
Proportional representation schemes
In varied forms have been discussed
In this country at intervals OF sixty
five years. Norway put a phase OF the
plan In operation in 1914. In some
European countries. where govern
mont Is by groups and not in accord
with u two~party idea, the plan has
been adapted to certain elections. but
It's virtues have never become plainly
apparent as ala those OF h Austria
iian ballot system.
Having either borrowed or revived
the proportional representation plan,
the trainers have turned ia the Ger
man f%ieichstag n the British House
of Commons for a method Of legisla-
tive organization to initiate.
Annual session OF the legislature,
also provided for by them, Is a return
10 tried and discarded policy. Penn
sylvania abandoned the plan thirty
years ago. Mississippi, In it's new con-
stitution, believes II has made distinct
progress in providing for sessions OF
the legislature every four years in
stead of biennially.
General reform OF the constitution.
If we are To have It IN oregon. should
not be inspired by such imitation or
rotrogression. If attempted at all 1t

STATE SALARIES

Tho highest salary 20 be paid a state
officer in the new state Of New Mex.
leo is to be placed az $4,000 for the
governor. The attorney general is TO
get $4,000, and the secretary Of state,
auditor. treasurer. school superintcn-
dem and land commissioner are TO re-
celve $4,000 apiece.
The size OF these salaries IL objected
10 by certain members Of the minority,
a minority report recommending a
list OF salaries. including a proposed
new office, which would Mount to
$500 less than the majority report
calls for. 1t thus appears that there Is
little real difference Of opinion In the
committee az to the amount to be- ex-
pended by the new state IN salaries
We believe that a public officer
should be hired 10 do the peoples
work, and should DO paid FOR doing
this work. a big business concern
when IL wants efficiency. pays for It.
IL is, we believe, the only effective
way. There appears no valid reason
why the Same business method should
not be followed by the people of a
state IN employing men TO take charge
Of their state business, Low salaries
for public officials do not put a pre-
MUM on efficiency. Unless the office
pays something Commensurate with
that which a man can earn IN private
life, the office Is likely TO prove at
tractive only to tbuse nnhllc-spirited
citizens who nre in politics for the
glory OF il. and Il save the country,
10 millionaires, and 10 men who think
they can use the office rs a neal OF
accommodating money on the side or
furthcring private interests.
The altruistie citizens who want Of
flee solely for the honor are scarce
and they are generally viewed with
more or less suspicion. We don't
want m%iliionaires IN the jobs and we
certainly don't want grafters.
IL IL alleged that high salaries will
result In a superfluity Of candidates,
Better TO have too many thar too few
