CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL'S
BOOK.

The trouble with the opposition to
Socialism in this country is that most
Of those who voice this opposition
don't know what Socialism is. With
the belief that in any contest it is i'm
portant to understand both our enc
mics and our friends, we strongly ad-
wise thoughtful citizens everywhere to
read the new book by Charles Ed
ward Russell entitled "Why l am a
Socialist" In this book Mr.. Russell
succeeds in making clear the mental
attitude Of consistent Socialist, a
by no means easy thing to do. The
book is sober and temperate, If ear
nest. In It are set down the deepest
and most intimate mental experiences
of a great hearted American, who in
all the turmoil of an active life has
never been afraid to think or to face
his conclusions. In reading his book
we cannot wholly resist the notion
that while timidly radical political
leaders would denounce It. Abraham
Lincoln would have understood
From Success Magazine"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-09-02

eral aspirants for republican nomina-
tions for representative from this
county have also taken the statement.
In the view of the East Oregonian
these men are entitled TO the confi-
dence and the support of the people
o. this county. They pledge them
selves that in the event of their elec-
ton they will cast their votes for the
senatorial candidate receiving the
endorsement of the people of the
state It is a fair and honorable
pledge. 1t is a pledge that should be
taken by every man who runs for a
legislative position, regardless of the
party or faction to which he may be-
long.
Legislative candidates who refuse
to take statement No. l should be
viewed with suspicion. Voters have
a right and a good right to suspect
that in the event of the election of
men those men may not
act in accordance with the wishes Of
the electorate. BY refusing to take
statement No. l they say in effect that
they will do as they please regarding
the election of a senator and will not
give heed to the wishes of their con-
stituents. They may go to Salem with
one hand held out behind prepared
to sell or trade away their senatorial
votes as such votes have been sold and
traded away in the past to the dis
grace of the state.
Compared with the man who sub
scribes to statement No. l the leg
islative candidate who refuses to do
50 is in an unenviable position. Men
who do not take the statement can
not reasonably expect the endorse
ment of their people.

WHAT'S IN MrCLURES.

Foremost among the articles in the
September McClure's is the first in
stallment of the "reminiscences of
Goldwin Smith, one of the greatest
scholars and critics of public affairs
of his time. This installment deals
with the American civil war and with
the important men of that period
such as Lincoln, Grant, Emerson, Ben
Butler and Charles Eliot Norton.
Burton J. Hendrick, in his article
on the Albany Gang. tells the story OF
Governor Hughes struggle with the
strongest and most highly organized
political ring in any of our state gov
ernments.
Ange Galdemar contributes an ac-
count of the romantic literary career
of Edmand Rostand, and gives the
poets own views concerning his
much discussed "Chantecler."
DR.. Henry Smith Williams, who
wrote the famous liquor series for Nc
Clures, has made a thorough investi-
cation of the causes of the greatly in
creased cost of living and presents an
article on the subject.
Amos Pinchot, brother of the for
mer forester of the United States,
contributes an extremely important
and timely article on Two Revolts
Against Oligarchy: The Insurgent
Movement of the Fifties and of To-
day"
THE Adventures of Miss Gregory,
by Perceval Gibbons. heads the list of
the September fiction. This is the
first of a series of twelve short stor-
les and starts with The Adventure
of Portuguese Trader" Among the
| other stories in this number are
Paradise" the droll story of a Jap

GENERAL GRANT.

Goldwin Smith in his "reminiscences
in the September McClure's gives the
following sketch of General Grant:
Grant was a silent. somewhat sa-
turne man, very simple in his demea-
nor and habits His quarters were
common tent in which was a chest
with his kit marked u. S. G., U. S.
A He ws said to dislike military pa
rade and even military music. He
seems to have been less of a strategist
than of a sledge-hammer of war
pounding his enemy by his blows, with
little regard for the expenditure of
life. He may be also said to have
professed the strategy of attrition. Of
this the bloody battle of Cold Har-
bour, fought in blind country, was
signal instance. Why the battles of
the Wilderness were fought at all,
when the plan apparently was to hold
Lee in the north while Sherman pierre
ed the confederates 10 the heart, was
a question to which l never could get
clear answer from a soldier. But
there can be no doubt of the inesti-
mable service which Grant by his iron
resolution and inflexible tenacity did
the cause. His great victory at Fort
Donelson was the first light of hope
in a darkness which seemed almost
that of despair He also rendered a
great service by firmly taking the
whole war into his own hands and out
of those of the politicians whose med
ding had done much mischief. a
remark TO the contrary in an article
of the New York sun on The Politi-
cal Element in NARROWER was from
the pen of the editor, not that of the
writer His generosity, Grant showed
by handing back to Sherman, when
the attack on Vicksburg had succeed
ed, the protest which at the council
of-war Sherman had put in against
the attack. His chivalry was shown
by his demeanor to Lee after the
surrender at Appomattox, when he
treated Lee at once as a friend and
refused to receive his sword His
good feeling an his good sense to-
gether he showed by at once parol-
ing the beaten army, providing for
their wants, and giving them back
their horses for the fall ploughing.
He nobly declined to enter Richmond
as a conqueror."

SMASH THE ASSEMBLY SLATE.

That the people of the west and
middle west are swinging strong in
To the progressive column is shown by
the results of recent primary elec-
tons In California Hiram Johnson,
champion of the Lincoln-Roosevelt
league. led the progressive repub-
licans to a splendid victory. In iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska and other middle
states the insurgents or progressive
element has been uniformly success
ful. Now comes the victory of French
in Idaho-one of the most significant
victories yet won by the progress
ives.
1t is important to note also that
in practically every instance the pro-
gressive gains have been made in
states where the direct primary is
in use In some states, as in Cali
fcrnia and Idaho the new system was
used for the first time. The principle
OF the direct primary is intimately
linked with the progressive cause. 1t
is through the direct primary that
people may do away with corpora
ton control of politics. 1t is very diff
ficuIt to oust the forces of special priv
ilege under the convention system,
The big business interests control the
political bosses and the bosses
through their sub-bosses and their
ring workers are able to manipulate
even Roosevelt and Hughes have been
unable to down the "old guard" in
New York With a direct primary
law in force in the empire state the
machine politicians would have as
much show against Roosevelt as has
a SNOWFALL in the Soudan.
In Oregon the people secured a di-
rect primary law several years ago
and it is a thorough law. It is good
lew because it was drafted under the
initiative and was not intended to
please the politicians Of the old
school But that law is now under
attack. The assemblyites II they win
out will annul the direct primary law
and restore the convention system in
a form more vicious than ever.
True the assembly men profess friend
ship for the direct primary. But 1t is
a hypocritical pretense for the reason
that the assembly scheme is in open
violation OF the spirit and letter of
the direct primary law. The friend
ship Of the assemblyites for the direct
primary law is identical with the love
of Judas for the Savior when he kiss
ed him to his betrayal
II the republicans Of Oregon be-
Ieve in political progress and want to
maintain the groud they have gained
through years. Of struggle then they
should make ready to smash the as
sembly slate and smash It so com.
pletely that the scheme will never be
tried again.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-09-02

In his speech at Osawatomie Col.
Roosevelt declared again in behalf OF
the direct primary system and said
that a direct primary law should al
ways be accompanied by a corrupt
practices act. Oregon has a direct
primary law and likewise a very COM
prehensive corrupt practices act. But
neither measures is at all pleasing to
the machine politicians and they
would like to do away with both. But
then the machine politician is a dis
credited man these days.

PREPARE FOR THE FAIR.

Preparations for the coming district
fair are now actively under way and
the outlook for a splendid fair is most
encouraging. The present harvest has
been a bountiful one in Umatilla
county and this prosperity should be
reflected at the fair The district
fair is the great harvest carnival for
Umatilla and Morrow counties. This
year it should be a glad occasion in
deed.
Just now it is also timely to remark
that the success of the fair always
depends much upon the amount Of
LEGAL interest displayed. Local mer-
chants and manufacturing concerns
are a big factor in making the fair
i. teresting Their booths are usu-
ally attractive and instructive. This
year the booths should be better and
more numerous than usual The at
tendance at the fair will be much lar
ger than in the past because the big
Roundup will dray a multitude OF
people who do not usually attend the
fair.
During the district fair and Round
up Pendleton will be the host to thou
sands of people. Get in and support
both celebrations and do so willingly
and Fundamentally.

MISS EDNA DAY, PHI. D., KANSAS.

At the University of Missouri the
first crop of graduates in home econ
omies was gathered this last spring.
They were seven. And as most of them
took likewise a degree in education, it
may be assumed that they will go
forth to spread the gospel, Their
preceptress, Miss Edna D. Day, who
next year will head the just-organized
department of home economies in the
Kansas University, is a novel type of
new woman in that she has earned
the degree of doctor of philosophy in
