THEY DISCRIMINATE.

Portland people seem to have dis
eliminated very nicely between the
good and bad initiative measures up
on which they voted Monday They
adopted some good bills and they re-
fused to stand for some that had the
glitter of gold but were not the real
article.
Most important perhaps among the
defeated measures were the Kellaher
scheme for a city commission to reg
ulate public utility corporations and
the mo seat no ride bill. The Kel-
laher bill was presented mainly to
offset Dan Malarkey's law for the
regulation of utility corporations by
the railroad commission. The Ma
larkey law was bitterly opposed in the
state senate by Kellaher not, it seems,
because the bill lacked merit but be-
cause of intense jealousy Of Malarkey.
The Ma!arkey law has all the ear
marks of a good measure 1t gives
the railroad commission very extern
siye authority to regulate the rates
and the service of all street railway,
telephone, telegraph, heat, light, wa
ter and power companies. II there
are any fatal defects in the law they
Dc not appear on the surface and
enemies of the law have not yet point
ed them out.
state regulation of public service
corporations is something that is alb
solutely necessary and the sooner it
comes the better. 1t was almost a
crime to referendum the Malarkey
law and because Kellaher and his
friends engineered the holdup of that
law there are many who will rejoice
that the Kellaher scheme for a city
commission has been showed under.
1t signifies that the people Of Port
land are awake to conditions and will
probably uphold the Malarkey law
at the next election. Assuredly the
voters throughout the state will sus-
tain that bill.
Coming back to the Portland cleo
ton, the results of the voting Monday
show the people will vote right when
matters are properly explained. Dis
cussion in the newspapers and debate
on the rostrum are essential to the
efficiency of the Oregon system. If
enemies Of direct legislation will cease
denouncing the initiative and referen-
DUN and will devote their energies
t sincere efforts towards making the
system effective all will be lovely.

NOW EARN sOME MONEY.

OF late months local people have
been doing much in the way Of or
Gering internal improvements. We
have voted a new high school, a
mountain water system, sewer extern

much street paving. The Roundup
grounds have been fitted up in a
magnificent way

MY PRAYER


Let me be true enough to meet each
honest eye,
Yet if a friend whose sorrowed
heart has been undone,
Asks me for comfort where in
truth there can be none,
Then let me grasp his cropping hand
and kindly lie.
And if my neighbor does those things
l think are ill,
Let me not judge! Who knows
what tangled, taunting skein
Fate may have woven to have
meshed his heart in pain
Would 1 have smoothed the evil knot
with half his skill
Since I must play the game of life,
this is my prayer,
Though I may lose let me preserve a
smiling face,
Let me not scorn the weak who
falter in the race;
Let me be merciful-let me play fair

PROMINENT AUTHOR
SHOT IN new YORK
David Graham Phillips Wound
ed Twice by Unknown Man,
Who Ends Own Life.

New York, Jan. 24.-David Graham
Phillips, the author, was shot by an
unidentified man while on his way from
his home to the Princeton clup this aft
ernoon. The assailant committed sui
eide.
The shooting occurred in East Twen-
ty-firSt street a short distance from the
Princeton club house. Five shots were
discharged, when Mr.. Phillips was seen
to fall heavily, at least one OF the shots
having taken effect in his left side near
the heart.
Mr.. Phillips lives in the vicinity.
About half a block from the club house
he was approached by a mar In rough
garments, apparently a working man
who, without warning. drew a revolver
and began firing. The stricken man
was at once carried into the Princeton
club. 1t was seen that his condition
was serious. Later he was taken to
the Bellevue hospital.
An examination Of the wound showed
that it was in a dangerous proximity,
to the heart. Meantime the assassin
had turned his weapon upon himself,
A single shot sufficed and the man
dropped dead In the street. A hasty
examination gave no clue to his iden-
tity. Neither was Mr.. Phillips able to
throw any light on the cause Of the
attack.
David Graham Phillips is a we'll
known nth and magazine writer. He
is Al years old. His novels include
The Second Generation" 'The Fortune
Hunter" "Old Wives for New" and
The Fashionable Adventures of Joshua
Craig" He is al alumnus of Princeton
