TEN COMMANDMENTS.

Germany has taken over with en-
thusiasm the idea initiated by the
Italian Marriage Gazette. Gazette de-
gil Spozi, which gives rules for a
happy married life and there is now
published a German edition of the
Ten Commandments for Husbands.
1t should be explained that these
ten commandments are intended. and
taken, seriously by both the Germans
and Italians, and are by no means a
joke.
The problems OF each nationality,
are. to a degree. different in matri-
mony as well as politics, so l beg TO
suggest the following ten command
ments for the American husbands:
/. Pick out a wife with as much
care as you do a horsse. Investigate
her pedigree, and find out if she is
kind, gentle, tractable good temper
| ed, willing to work in double harness
without shying or boiling.
2. Don't marry until you are
ready to settle down. AS long as you
want to train with the boys keep sin
| gle.
! 8. Don't marry until you are able
to support a wife. 1t takes money to
nourish love at the present price of
| beef steaks
4. Don't shoe away the stork from
your house. Every married couple,
to be happy. must have common in
terest, and there is no such common
interest as a baby.
8 Don't boss or be bossed. The
ideal marriage is not an autocracy but
a partnership.
6. Settle the financial question the
day you are married. Make your
wife a fair allowance and compel her
to keep within it,
!. Give as much time and thought
to your wife as you do to business,
and show as much real heart interest
in her as you do in the stock market
s. Make 1t a rule to tell your wife
at least once a day that you are as
much in love with her as you were
when you courted her, and that she
gets better looking very day of her
life.
9. See that your wife has plenty
of work to do. mixed in with plenty
of fun. 1t is only neglected and idle
women who have affinities.
10. Never let your mother or your
wife's mother live in your house. An
in-law is a harbinger of domestic
strife and the first aid to divorce

\ PRISON RECORD.

A badgering lawyer was trying to
bully a modest witness. Scowling at
the moist-eyed man, ne snapped out:
Ever been in prison, sir?''
The witness did not answer.
"Come now; speak up. witness, no
concealment. Have you ever been in
PRISON."
yes, sir; o-n-c-e," answered the
witness, looking modestly at the floor.
Eyes, I thought so. You look like
it. Now, look me in the eye. When
were you in prison, sir? Tell the
TRUTH"
about forty years ago"
What prison Sing Sing?"
The witness hestated.
"Come, own up, no dodging"'
screamed the lawyer. ''Now what
prison We're you in. sir?"
"In-in-in"-
Don't stammer. sir! Out with it!
Give the name of the prison!"
"In-in Andersonville, sir
There was a moments painful
pause. Then the lawyer, who was an
old soldier, put his hand TO his fore
head as if a pistol shot had struck
him, while tears came to his eyes.
Then, jumping forward he clasped
his arms around the witness's neck
and cried:

WATCH NEW NIENICO.

The people of Oregon should take
note of the constitutional convention
now being held in New Mexico. We
may learn something from the ex-
perience that new state is having
with its constitution makers
There are 100 members of the New
Mexico convention and when those
men We're chosen the standpat element
in the republican party resorted to
desperate efforts to gain control. All
sorts of methods, legal and Illegal
were resorted to in order to prevent
the convention from falling into the
hands of the progressives. 1t is OPEN
ly charged that in some districts pro-
gressive watchers at the polls were
barred and the judges would examine
the ballots before dropping them into
the box. Through such methods and
through the lack of an effective or
ganization on the other side the stand
patters were able to get a big repre-
sentation in the convention. They
will probably control it and bar the
direct primary law, the initiative and
referendum and other kindred meas
ures from the constitution.
Should the people of oregon vote
for the bill calling for a constitutional
convention for this state we will face
the same sort of fight New Mexico
has experienced. If a convention is
called you may rest assured that the
special interests that oppose the initi-
ative and referendum and the direct
primary will do their utmost to cap
ture the convention. The represen-
tatives to the convention will be elect
ed at special primary and special
election. In those elections the aver
age man would not feel deeply inter-
ested. The ordinary voter is apathetic
with regard to anything of that sort.
But the special interests would not be
apathetic. They would be on deck
with their plans cooked and primed.
They would capture that convention
II they had to break laws to do so.
They would write a constitution to
suit themselves and not to serve the
best interests of the public at large.
II voters are wise they will take no
chances with a constitutional conven-
ton. The constitution may be am
ended now under the initiative when
amendments are wanted. This should
suffice.

BAKERS EXPERIMENT.

Baker City is to try an experiment
that Pendleton people may watch
with profit. Bakeries have voted a
new charter, have dropped the ap-
pendage City" from the town cogno-
mon and have adopted the commits
sion form of government. After De-
cember the town will be governed
by a mayor and two commissioners.
The mayor will draw a salary of $2,-
500 per annum while each of the COM
nissioners will be given $4,000 per
annum. The mayor must give a bond
! of $4,000 while each commissioner
must give bonds of $4,000 each. 1t
is hoped that the commission will run
the affairs of the city upon a more
! businesslike basis than they have been
conducted in the past; that many
economies will be attained and great
er efficiency provided in all depart
ments.
! That the commission form of gov
ernment is the proper thing in cities
( of the larger size seems now unques-
/ toned. 1t is being tried with the
! greatest success in Des Moines and
/ in many other places. Almost uni
versally the commission plan is re-
garded as an Improvement over the
system of government through a city
/ council or board of aldermen.
Whether or not the same would be
/ true with respect to places the size
Iof Pendleton or Baker City remains
t. be seen. There are many reasons
/ for believing the commission plan
/ would work equally we'll in the small
