sure because he has allowed a petty
matter to make him seemingly forget
the political principles that brought
about his election. He has been criti-
cised by the East Oregonian and
though this paper regrets the neces-
sity for the criticism it has no apol-
ogy to make for its action. 1t is the
policy of the East Oregonian to en-
dorse men when they are in the right
and to oppose them when it believes
them to be wrong. This is true of
republicans and democrats, standpat-
ters and progressives.
In conclusion it is possible of course
that this district would be better off
now had DIR. Hall or Mr. Wilson been
chosen in Place of Mr.. Barrett. Those
men may be of such firm clay that the
fires of temptation have no terrors
for them. Yet the East Oregonian
does not know this to be true. We
merely have the doctors assurance

MOTHER MINE.

Pallid cheeks that once were fair,
Raven locks grown whittier now
Sixty years of wrinkled care
Trace thy burrows on thy brow.
Step infirm that once was light,
Laugh once gay, a smile divine,
Eyes now dimmed that once were
bright
Thus l see thee, mother mine.
oh, the memories love can hold,
Lingering fancies of the heart!
Lovely as thou vast of old
More 1 love thee as thou art
Thine has been the checkered round
Sun and shade of changeful day
Blooming roses thou hast found,
Thou has seen them fade away.
Thine has been the crimson dawn,
Thine the brighter blaze of noon
Years have come and years have gone
Mingling winters SHOWS with June;
Yet not DER a wilderness
Falls the light of days decline
l shall never love thee less,

GET A NEW THEATRE.

Pendleton needs a good up-to-dat
theatre to replace the bunch of dust
and trash now used as playhouse.
new theatre is something that
should be provided this year by all
means. 1t is a civic betterment that
has been delayed far too long already
and Pendleton has been paying a
heavy penalty for its slothfulness.
But to get new theatre will re-
quire action and action of the right
sort. We have had enough of talk
upon the subject. What is needed
now is work. Where is there a man
who will erect a first class theatre
provided he is given a proper amount
of financial assistance by local peo-
pie? If he will come forward he
will surely find the people ready for
him. In the view of this paper there
will be ample local support for new
theatre provided the scheme is meri-
torious. But of course the plan should
call for a first class playhouse and it
should be financed in a businesslike
way. The people don't want to be
grated.
Possibly the new officers of the
Commercial association can take this
matter up and bring on a new theatre.
If so then their fame will be secure.

FROM DIR. NJ. X. HALL.

La Grande, Ore, Feb. 13, 1911.
Editor East Oregonian:
If you will look up the issue Of your
paper of November 9Th last, I be-
lieve you will find recounted in an
article therein sufficient of Mr.. c..
A. Barrett's previous legislative his
tory to account for the conditions
which give rise to the question with
which you opened your denunciation
of that gentleman's course in the
Legislature at present in session, in
your issue of Saturday last.
1t appears to me that one great
hindrance to the selection of the best
candidates for election in Umatfila
county is the tendency Of the major
ity Of the press Of that county to
follow the wether wearing the bell
which is attuned to their particular
desires at the moment, without re-
gard to the quality of the wether. 1t
is somewhat surprising to find the
e. o. criticizing the only republican
whose cause it espoused during the
campaigns preceding the last gener-
al election. The East Oregonian re-
action Of the past and assured the
voters that he was the right man in
whom to put their trust and all but
guaranteed that he would make
good.
Mr.. Barrett's course-in following
his master-since the election has
not differed materially from that
which he followed previous thereto,
when according to Mr.. McComas, at
that time chairman Of the Umatilla
county central committee (rep.) in
an article published in the Live
Wire" just after the assembly, Mr.
Barrett attended the meeting of that
body in a receptive mood, and then
turned against them when they
would have none Of him. Has the
bell lost its timbre? II would not be
surprising IL 1t had. It was over
worked. Its golden tinkle was heard

In vetoing the bill providing for an
assistant secretary of state Governor
West took the only logical course
open to him. There are many very
excellent reasons why the bill should
be turned down. The sole motive
back of the bill was a desire to ham,
per the new state board. 1t was an

THE SECOND CHOICE BILL.

Ever since its adoption the Oregon
primary law has been criticised be-
cause it permits of minority nomi-
nations. In other words when sever
al candidates are running for a nomi-
nation the man getting the highest
number of votes is nominated even
though he may not have a majority.
Four years ago Senator Bourne was
a minority nominee as the republican
choice for senator. Last fall Jay
Bowerman was a minority nominee
when he was selected as the republi-
can candidate for governor. He fell
far short of a majority of the votes
cast at the primary election.
In order to overcome this objection
able feature of the primary law
Speaker John P. Rusk has introduced
a bill calling for both first and sec
ond choice votes at primary elections.
In the Washington direct primary
is apparently working successfully.
If the Rusk bill is passed each vot-
er will be required to indicate his
first and second choice in separate
columns provided on the ballot sheet.
II there are twice as many candidates
as there are offices in any case, the
voter will not be permitted to make
his first choice his second choice, but
will be compelled to vote for some
other candidate or have his ballot
thrown out as invalid.
Section of the bill says:
"If no candidate shall have receiv-
ed sufficient number of first choice
votes to constitute a majority of the
total vote received for that office,
then a canvass shall be made of the
second choice votes received by the
candidate for such office and the
number of second choice votes receiv-
ed shall be counted with and added to
TIC LII6l NOIc VI cdSil
and the candidate receiving the high
est number of first and second choice
votes shall be the nominee or nomi-
nees for such office of the political
party represented by himself"
Should there be several candidates
receiving majority of the votes cast
after the first and second choice bal
lots have been added, those receiving
the highest number Of votes are NOM
mated according to the provisions Of
the bill.
With the Rusk bill enacted into
law and with a provision calling for
rotation Of names upon ballots the
direct primary law will then be open
20 few just criticisms.

BUSINESS AND RAILWAY ACTIV-
ITY.

According to a report from Dun
published on another page of this
issue of the Tribune, business in all
lines is getting better in all parts
of the country. In the east trade
is improving, stocks and bonds are
strong and industry is gradually be-
coming active. The period of re-
trenchment and stagnation is over.
A noticeable feature of the present
situation is the plethora of money in
the eastern banks. The money is
there and it will not long remain in
active. We imagine that capital is
now looking for profitable invest
ment. If so, the west is soon to
get its share.
Locally, the world is looking
brighter. The favorable turn in
the wool market has restored con-
fidence in the western states. OF
course, other agencies are at work.
The west responds in sympathy to
the east. The heart throbs Of New
York are felt throughout the coun-
try. The restoration of confidence
is the result OF a restoration of
prosperity, rather than vice versa.
The coming prosperity will be real
and it will be lasting.
Here at home we have little of
which to complain. Business Is
good and getting better. Sheep
men are feeling good, bumper crops
are guaranteed and there is actiy-
ity all along the line, especially in
railroad work. Out of Caldwell the
Golden Gate railroad is now being
built The Oregon Short Line has
a force OF two hundred men at
work. Two electric railway extern
sions are practically assured. The
Pierce line will extend to Roswell
and perhaps to Nampa, too. The
Sebree line will certainly be built to
Nampa. These things are great in
themselves, but they are greater in
their promise for the future. Irri-
cation development is going on as
rapidly as could be expected. While
nothing new has transpired concern
ing the Black Canyon, the officials
and those interested are confident.
The interest the Kuhns are taking
