| Oregon. There was no demand in east
ern Oregon for the scheme by which
he was made the official candidate of
the party. That scheme was engineer
ed by the politicians of Portland, Sa-
lem, Eugene and Dallas, the latter the
home of the Observer and Mr.. Bower
man was simply the natural sequence
of the scheme, because he was the can
didate most in sympathy with it and
most representative Of its manipula-
ton. Some eastern Oregon counties
were whipped into line by the politi-
cal forces above named in the name of
loyalty to an eastern Oregon man, and
even then there were some eastern
Oregon counties in the assembly whose
votes were not cast for him.
when it came to the primaries,
It was plain that Mr.. Bowerman was
not the choice of eastern Oregon and
that either one of the other three can
didates running alone could have beat
en- him for the nomination, notwith-
standing they were all residents of
western Oregon.
"Mr. Furnish in 1902 was similarly
forced on eastern Oregon, not through
any spontaneous desire for him east
Of the mountains but by circumstan-
ces created in Multnomah and Clatsop
counties.
Eastern Oregon will loyalty support
a candidate of its own, but is not like
ly to be very enthusiastic for one who
is selected by special interests that are
foreign to it's sentiments and sympa-
thies"

1t would be better to build five miles
of good streets in Salem during 1911
than to construct ten miles of make
shifts. Makeshifts mean double ASSESS
ments Once for the makeshift and
once for the standard street that must
be built later, and ought to have been
built in the first place.-Salem States
man.
Dallas is beginning to learn this
costly lesson, and it will not be long
until the dirty and unsightly macadam
will begin to give way to clean, hard
paved streets in the business district.
No town ever really begins to grow
until it has built few blocks of hard
paved Streets and Dallas will grow.
What a pity though, that property
owners were compelled to spend so
much good money for a poor make
shift. Twice the cost of macadam
would have paid for smooth surface
pavement, and there the expense
would have ended. But we will get
the pavement yet, and the council will
give us ten years in which to pay for
it, Such an arrangement will work a
hardship on no property owner in the
business district.

The Portland Journal warns the
Oregon legislature against abuse of
the emergency clause. The advice is
good, but it comes from poor source.
We do not recall that the Journal was
heard sounding similar warning two
years ago when Governor Chamber
lain and the legislature were juggling
circuit and supreme court judgeships
for political purposes Nor is it likely
that the Journal will be found urging
serious objection If the next legisla-
ture shall decide to attach the emer-
gency clause to the proposed bill to
provide two more Supreme Judges and
an additional Circuit Judge for Multi
nomah County. With the appointing
power resting in a Democratic Cover
nor, and the emergency clause limited
to measures pertaining to the public
peace, health and safety, it will be an
easy matter for the Journal to con-
vince itself that the "health" of the
the people of Oregon demands quick
action in creating the additional judge
ships.

REPRovED, NOT LIBELED.

Under the heading, Eastern Ore
gon Llbeled," Editor Frank Davey
takes the Observer to task for charg-
two Eastern Oregon candidates for
Governor. In the face, of the election
returns from the sagebrush counties,
Editor Davey's argument counts for
naught. Eastern oregon defeated
Furnish and II defeated Bowerman,
and its delegates worked night and
day to secure the nomination OF both.
The editor OF the Observer attended
the convention that nominated Fur
nish. He was also present when Bow
erman was Endorsed by the assembly
He knows what took place there. Edl-
tor Davey was not present and knows
nothing of what was done. except from
hearsay Had he been present we do
not believe he would now be saying
that Bowerman's nomination was fore
ed on Eastern oregon. But let us
read his editorial:
CBurns News, December Z, 1sIO)
The following is an editorial which
appeared in a recent issue OF the Polk
County Observer. and while we are
particularly inclined 20 let past cleo
tion matters go without much discuss
ion. there is a lot OF stun in this ar
ticle that should not be allowed to go
unchallenged. Editor Hayter says;
The defeat of Bowerman again
demonstrates that an Eastern Oregon
man cannot be elected Governor re-
marks the Woodburn Independent
The Independent Is correct, and the
cause IL not hard 20 find. Delegates
from the sagehrush country are always
loud and insistent in their demand for
a candidate from Eastern oregon. and,
by united effort, they are usually able
TO nominate their man. Right then.
their enthusiasm seems TO die. They
VIII demand the nomination OF a can
didate from East OF the mountains.
and then turn around and vote against
him. Eastern Oregon demanded Fur
nish's nomination. and defeated him IN /
the election. Eastern Oregon forced /
the nomination Of Bowerman. and ]
likewise defeated him. While the /
Western Oregon counties piled up ma
loritlce reaching into the thousands 4
FOR West the counties East Of the /

candidate or cast a few paitry hund-
reds Of votes On his favor. such half
hearted support does not elect candI-
datcs 70 once. Eastern Oregon viii

mainder Of the state In future.

THE LUMBERJACK.

There has been a good deal said in
some very thrilling romances from
near-life have been written concerning
him, to create a balance on some jour-
nalists' butcher bills. The fact Is that
very little that it is true has been said
or written about the man who man
1t is also a fact that the lumberjack
doesn't care a continental, says the In
land Herald.
Yet, while he does not demand any
defense, the northwest owes SO much
directly and indirectly to the man who
clothes and lowers the naughty pride
of the monarch of the forest, that he
is more than entitled to a word of pro-
test.
There may be a melancholy droop
about the knees of the lumbermans
trousers; he may say 81 SEEM" he may
eat beans with his knife and pie with
his fingers but he is a whole lot more
essential to the upbuilding of great
new empire than the dyspeptic ca
daver with a black cord on his glasses
who writes by-line articles at a penny
word.
There is a lot of lumberjack stock
in the populace of the northwest, and
the country has reason to be proud of
it. 1t Is by such means that wilder
nesses are CONQUERED and the foun-
dations laid for bigger achievements.
The northwest doesn't need the aes-
thetic influence of any more molly
coddles, but If there is any effete Sec
tion of the country that has tired of
the man who wears long spikes in his
boots, and tucks his pants inside his
socks, the Inland Empire announces
that 1t has adopted the open door pol
icy.

According to the new census, Ore
gon has 672,765 people, an increase of
So per cent in 10 years. Our neighbor
state, Washington, has 1,141,999 in
habitants, an increase of 120 per cent
since 1900. If Oregon would devote
more of its time and talents to secur-
ing immigration, and less to devising
freak laws and revolutionary consti-
tutional amendments, 1t might stand
better show of keeping pace with its
