IT WILL NOT DO.

lAs pointed out by Rep. c. \, Bar
rett, in an interview saturday, the
assembly plan is the old convention
system resurrected in more vicious
form. In the old days each precinct
elected its delegates to the county
convention. If a delegate could not
attend he could give his proxy to any
man he chose to select. Under the
assembly plan. as worked in Una
tua county the people of the pre-
cincts had nothing TO say about who
should represent them as delegates to
the convention. The delegates were
picked by the county central COM
mittee at a star chamber session. Nor
could a delegate select a man to serva
in his stead in the event he could not
attend. The county chairman did
that. Thus was the power of the in
rer circle made complete. The as
sembly scheme permits of bossism to
a degree not dreamed of in the old
days of machine rule. No wonder
the assembly was manipulated and
used TO nominate man who is un-
satisfactory to the chief hackers of
the plan Such an assembly will al
ways be manipulated. 1t will always
be "easy picking" for the shrewd and
busy wirepuller. The scheme will not
do. 1t has been tried and found
wanting. II the republicans of Ore
gen are wise they will kick the whole
scheme into the ditch and make
nominations in free and open prim-
aries-as called for by the laws of
the state.

SLEEPING SICKNESS IN UGANDA

We passed by many islands, green
with meadow and forest, beautiful in
the bright sunshine, but empty with
the emptiness of death. A decade
previously these islands were throng-
ed with tribes Of fisher folk; their
villages studded the shores. and their
long canoes, planks held together with
fibre. furrOwed the surface of the
lake. Then, from out Of the depths
Of the Congo forest came the dreadful
scourge of the sleeping sickness, and
smote the doomed people who dwelt
beside the Victorian Nile, and on the
coasts Of the Nyanza lakes. and in
the lands between. It's agent was a
biting fly brother to the tsetse whose
bite is fatal to domestic animals.
This fly dwells in forests, besides lakes
and rivers and wherever it dwells
after the sleeping sickness came it

The most primitive stage they tend,
notably in middle and western Afri-
ca, to grow into malign creeds of un-
speakable cruelty and immortality,
with a bestial and revolving ritual and
ceremonial. Even a poorly taught
and imperfectly understood Christian
ity, with its underlying foundation of
justice and mercy, represents an inn
measurable advance on such a creed.
Where, as in Uganda, the people are
intelligent and the missionaries unite
disinterestedness and zeal with COM

The majority of the people of Ugan-

Catholic; and many thousands among
them are sincerely Christian and show
their Christianity in practical fashion
by putting conduct above ceremo-
NAL and dogma. Most fortunately,
protestant and Catholic seem now to
work in charity together and to show
rivalry only in healthy effort against
the common foe; there is certainly
enough evil in the world TO offer a
target at which all good men can di-
rect their shafts, without expending
them on one another.

A mere handful Of republicans

ed up by a few Multnomah county ma
chine politicians. At the meeting
held in La Grande delegates were
elected from Union county to the
general assembly to be held in Port

given a representation Of four dele
gates, none of whom were present.

politicians can get together and say
who shall represent the various pre-

machina-iille it is: and wonders how

a few men from La Grande and one
or two other precincts get the author

represent them in the assembly. Not
even an Elgin proxy was in evidence
at the meeting, yet the aggregation

do, but it IS evident there are great
many who do NOT. and will fight as

THE SUMNER ARGUMENT.

She wants to go unto the shore
And pack her trunk
With gowns no one has seen before
And all such junk.
But I would seek some far-off place
Where I'm unknown
And let my whiskers deck my face
And be alone.
She sighs for parties and for teas;
They are her wish.
I merely want to take my ease
And loaf and fish.
She wants to lead life that's grand,
In silken skirts.
want to wear old trousers and
My outing shirts.

AFTER THE "PILL."

Americans as rule are a liberal
minded people and they are somewhat
tolerant as to personal habits. Yet
this country was founded by a stern
people who crossed the Atlantic to
New England for the sake of religious
freedom. They held strict ideas as to
morality. IN a more or less modified
form the teachings of those old puri-
tannic heroes have been handed
down through many generations.
They have been of wholesome effect.
Just now this spirit is up in arms
against a modern vice-cigarette
smoking on the part of the fair sex.
1t is vice that has become prevalent
in recent years and many thoughtful
people are wondering what it will
lead to. At this time it is confined
fer the most part TO two classes-the
women Of the underworld and the
women of "high society" As long as
confined to those classes little OBJ
lection can be made. The world eX-
poets nothing from either class. But
there is fear on the part of the wo-
men who are leading the present cru
sade that the use of "coffin nails"
by society women will cause that
habit to be adopted by working girls
So they are out to fight the habit
and are trying 10 enlist Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth in the crusade. It will be
interesting to note the outcome Of
the attempt.

IT Is UNDERWAY.

Senator LaFollette and Judge Ben
Lindsey are together in urging pro-
gressive republicans and progressive
democrats TO stand back of ''insur-
gent congressman and senators re-
gardless of the old time party lines
In the last issue of LaFollette's Week
ly magazine the Wisconsin republican
senator and the Denver democratic
judge join forces.
''It is not a question of republican
doctrine or of democratic doctrine"
says Senator La Toilette. 1T is a
question of getting the right man
elected to office.
For the issue today is not between
parties We are not engaged in a con-
test to determine whether democrat
DC doctrine or republican doctrine
shall prevail. It is a struggle between
special privileges and public welfare.
And good citizenship demands that
the people present a united front
against the common enemy. Repub-
Hcan Aldrich and Democrat Foster
unite for big business. Democratic
Fitzgerald and Republican Cannon
join hands against the people Why
not, then, Mr. Progressive Democrat
and Mr.. Progressive Republican, stand
together for the cause of popular
government"
In a similar vein Judge Lindsey de-
otares that he considers it "the high
est duty of progressive democrat
t. lend any strength he may have to
the reelection Of insurgent republi-
cans"
THE real struggle is not between
the two old parties, as now consti-
tuted It is between the people and
privileges; and that contest is really
between these contending forces
within each Of the old parties. There
the struggle will go on until one or
the other is free. Intelligent and pa
triotic citizens will therefore vote for
the man rather than for the party,
no matter what the politicians say.

ALBANY, N. Y, March e.
THE legislature is soon to hear all
about drunkards and how to han.
die them, from Bailey B. Burritt
of the state charities aid associa.
ton, when he asks for an appro
priation for a state farm fol-
|drunkards.
We're not treating our drunk.
ards right in the United States, Vi
says Burritt. Its a shame the
way we misuse them.
There are three kinds OF
drunkards. Let's call them Bill
Jim and John.
"Bill gets his wages every Sa.-
urday night and goes straight 10
the saloon. AS soon as he gets
drunk he wants to fight. The re-
suit is that a policeman arrests
him.
HE is taken before a judge the
next morning and the judge
either sends him to the work
house or fines him. If Bill goes
to the workhouse he doesn't get
any good out of it and his family
suffers. What he needs is fresh
air and his own employment to
clear his mind of remorse and
make it healthy again. II he Is
fined, his family suffers Just as
greatly as If he went to the work
house.
Jim is a different sort of a
fellow. He is harmless. and on
payday nights he drinks himself
into a stupor. He falls on the
sidewalk, and a policeman, COM
ing along, thinks he's hurt. The
takes him to the hos
pital and there he is revived. He
goes out feeling splendidly, with &
new reserve of serength, and, by
the time payday comes again, he
feels so strong and bright that
he goes and does it all over again.
They sober him up at the hosp;-
tai, but they don't take the desire
for liquor away from him any
more than the workhouse author
tiles take 1t away from Bill.
John is usually well-to-do. or
his family 1t. He doesn't take
his liquor in sudden and big
doses. He takes 1t all the time
and is always half dumb with
drink. His family may put hin
in an insane asylum, but legally
he is sane. And the asylum au-
thorities don't cure him OF the
drink habit.
Every state ought to have Q
farm for drunkards. The courts
ought to realize that man VINO
s addicted to liquor Is a diseased
