New Type Face.

The Observer is out in new dress
of type this week, larger and more
easily read by those with failing eve
sight, comments the ltemizer. We
might say that this letter was put
on the linotype for convenience in cor
recting proofs while making two long
runs of book printing, the book hav-
ing been set in the same letter and it
being somewhat tedious to change
the magazines ON the machine every
time a corrected slug might be needed.
II had not been our intention to set
the newspaper in this dress only for
the two issues this week. However,
If we could he made to know that
larger face of type would be appre-
ciated by our readers, we would will
ingly make the change. In the alb
senee Of any considerable demand for
a larger letter we shall return to the
usual dress next week.

right to promulgate constitution.
The convention contemplated by the
pending bill is not to be called for the
purpose of amending or proposing
amendments, but its declared object is
to propose new constitution, and ac-
cording to the terms of the pending
bill, this constitution must go to the
people for approval or rejection. In
view of the language of our Constitu-
tion, it is difficult to see how either
the Virginia or Kentucky cases can be
given consideration, for our Constitu-
tion plainly contemplates submission
of proposed Constitutions to the cleo
tors of the state. This Constitutional
provision, together with the language
of the pending bill, would indicate
that a Constitution framed by Con-
vention must be approved by the peo-
pie before final adoption.
Costly Litigation Unlikely.
Members of the People s Progress
i've Government League tell us that a
new Constitution will be followed by
many years of uncertainty as to the
meaning of its provisions and that
great deal of protracted and costly lit
igation will ensue, yet, in the same
breath, they propose a series of consti-
tutional amendments most revolution
airy in their character, and destined
to keep the state in the throes of con
stitutional litigation for many years
to come. The experience of other
states shows that there has been a
minimum amount of litigation arising
out of the adoption of new constitu-
tions.
In addition to the subjects already
suggested, the proposed Constitutional
Convention could provide for better
system of local municipal government |
in the cities and incorporated towns of 1
the state, place certain limitations up
on the power of the Legislature, pro-
vide for an improved judiciary system
with uniform fiat salaries for judges
of the Supreme and Circuit Courts, re-
al range and harmOnize Judicial and
attorney districts; adopt a
more equitable and uniform system of
and taxation, make perma-
nent arrangements for public educa-
tion, and adopt a more satisfactory
provision for the creation of new
than we now have. There
are other questions of a purely consti-
nature that a convention
night consider, but all legislative mat
-ers should be left to the Legislature
IT the people.
l have briefly outlined a few of the
reasons why the proposed .Constitu-
ional Convention should be called,
md have attempted TO explode some of s
he fallaeies advanced by opponents c
# the measure. The people, through 2
heir chosen representatives are fully Z
competent to propose a new Constitu- n
ion. and are qualified to approve or T
eject it at the polls. otherwise there
} not sufficient virtue among men for
elf Government. Oregon needs a new
constitution badly Constitution de- 4
igned to meet the present-day needs. il
lther states are forging ahead but we 5
re tagging in the race. Let rs move N
onward. confident in our own strength o
nd virtue. with increasing loyalty to b
nr beloved state and a deeper regard Ia
pr the welfare Of our common coun- pi
y.

Grant B. Dimick, candidate for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor, sends out circular to the
voters condemning the assembly.
Among other things, he says: "Since
the adoption of the primary law, all of
the old factional strife in the Re-
publican party has died away" He
might have added $50 has the
Republican party" Politicians of
the Dimick sort care nothing of what
becomes Of the party so long as they
get the Offices. Republicans, how
ever, to whom the name means some-
thing do care, and that is why an as
sembly will be held.

THE DEMAGOGUE

A demagogue IS man who attempts
TO control the multitude by specious
or deeeitful arts, says the Albany Cit
izen. He is an unprineipled and fa-
eetious political leader. Religious
leaders tell us that comparatively few
people are converted after the age of
twenty and that scarcely any change
their ways after fifty.
The changes of heart experienced
by the demagogue are many and var
led. They are likely to increase with
age. The man who has spent the best
years Of his life attempting 10 pur-
chase high political preferment. sud
denly becomes a wild-eyed reformer.
He informs the people that the state
is full Of corrupt politicians, and he
ought TO know for he has spent his
life in making that kind Of men. He
proposes to deliver the people from
the system Of his own making.
Oregon has had some experience
with the demagogue. He is abroad in
the state now. He is making himself
heard and viii continue to do SO es-
pecially during these next few months.
He has played upon enough of the
people Of Oregon to get himself elected
to high positions. Il remains 10 be
seen what he win be able to do this
year.

The baseball game between Dallas
and Chemawa, played ON the home

one-sided as TO be scarcely worthy of
