charging the cost to miscellaneous re-
pairs. They had built this compress
ed air plant themselves instead of
buying it (this for secrecy ana II
had cost them ten times as much as
the price of ready-made plant, with
out counting a years delay.
But why is this? What does it
all mean? persisted Porter.
1T means-Wall street. said the
other.
Then he whispered three great
names, multi-millionaires railroad
kings, financial magnates, three men
who sat in New York Offices and ran
this road. They knew all about rails
ing loans and watering stock. about
cutting melons" and juggling securi-
ties in the market, but they knew
very little about repairing cars and
locomotives. Repair shops, in their
eyes, were a necessary evil, always
calling for appropriations. The only
thing for a magnate to do with re-
pair shop appropriations was to cut
them ruthlessly. What if a hundred
costly locomotives went to the scrap
heap for want of proper care! It was
always easy to borrow money for
more locomotives. And make tse
commissions in doing it,"

THE PEOPLE SUPERIOR.

It is entirely true that this paper
has given its approval to the Rusk
second choice bill. But it does not
fellow from this that the East Ore
gonian favors the general practice of
allowing the legislature to change in
itiative measures. The second choice
provision looks to making the direct
primary more effective. So does the
bill for rotating names on ballots
No one can deny this. The legislature
may properly do such work as this
while it would have no right at all
to enact changes that would annul
or weaken the law.
Under this papers conception Of
things the initiative and the refer
endum serve as a check upon the
legislature, yet a check that should
be used sparingly. The legislature at
times may also revise work done by
the people under the initiative. But
thority the legislature should move
with decided caution. While the leg
islature may properly make changes
that are in line with public sentiment
it plainly has no right to interfere
with an initiative measure to the ex-
tent of making changes that are con-
trary to a sentiment that has been
clearly expressed. Any man who
thinks that the legislature is above
the people and that few legislators
have a right to override the will of
the people has the cart before the
horse. No creature can be greater
than its creator.

WHERE THE TROUBLE is.

Cleveland Moffett n the March
number of Hampton's Magazine gives
an effective specific instance of the
practical railroad affairs. The article
tells about wonderful economies
for railroads through scientific man
agement. about two years ago."
says Mr.. Moffett, "a distinguished
industrial engineer, H. F. ]. Porter,
was travelling over the country intro
duclng high speed steel into machine
shops of one of our largest south
western railroads. And here, to his
great surprise, he found everything
far behind the times. They were do
their riveting, their clipping by the
old hand methods instead of using
compressed air. Their antiquated
wheel lathes would have gone to pieces
II driven under the strain required
for high speed steel. In short, all
their machines and processes belong
ed back in the stage-coach period.
Porter could scarcely believe his
eyes, for this yas an important rail-
road with hundreds of locomotives
and thousands Of cars in constant
need of repairs. The welfare Of the
road required that these repairs be
made under good conditions with
high efficiency, yet here were hope
less conditions With scarcely any eff
ficlency.
"'You might save an immense
amount Of money by changing all
this said Porter.
Yes agreed the official, we
might

methods would double your eff
ciency.'

official confessed and went on to toll

headquarters an authorization for d

ISN'T IT BEING IMPROVED?

In order TO elevate the stage and
make the drama of the future occu-
py a higher plane than the drama
of the present Professor George P.
Baker of Harvard, would educate the
children of the country to a better
appreciation of true dramatic art.
He believes that by such a course the
future playwright can be brought to
work for something really good and
not merely to swell bank accounts.
AS TO bank accounts common sense
indicates that they will always be
very highly considered by those who
write plays and by those who pre-
sent them. The stage is a business
like anything else and the supply Of
theatrical productions will tend to
conform to the demand.
Yet this fact need not interfere with
the elevation of the stage. With the
advance of civilization and with such
instruction as Professor Baker would
give, will not the public taste become
more and more discriminating and
will not the people naturally call for
a better order of things theatrical?
That such will be the course Of
affairs is shown by the conditions at
this time. People don't like vicious
or dirty plays now. That is because
vice is not pretty or pleasing to the
eye. People Of taste prefer a clean
opera to a vulgar one for the same
reason they would rather look at a
sparkling brook than a muddy ditch.
The same is true in literature. One
of the most popular short story writ
ers of this decade, o. Henry, declared
a few weeks before his death, that
he had never written a filthy line and
was proud of the fact. His popular
ity was due to the fact that he was
clean, vivid and humorous.
Many people think that the stage
has degenerated because comic and
musical operas have superseded the
heavy dramas in popular favor. But
isn't an opera as high in tone as a
Shakesperian tragedy? 1t should be.
Because a play is light and airy and
pretty it need not and should not be
wicked or vulgar. Gayety need not
mean vice and does not mean that
except in the minds Of some people.
No doubt Professor Baker is right
in his scheme to elevate the stage by
educating the children to higher
ideas. But in his course of instruc-
ton he might also include few les
sons for theatrical managers. There
are some theatrical men who don't
know how many people there are in
the world and don't know as much as
they should about their tastes.

EFFICIENCY DEMANDS 1T.

Discussing the subject of the pro-
posed state examiner Of accounts yes
terday the Journal voiced the follow
ing sentiment:
THE senate wisely rejected the pro
posals to make the state examiner of
accounts elective. 1t is foolishness to
further lengthen the ballot with petty
offices. 1t is already so long with
peanut politicians that, intelligent
though they be, voters do not discrim-
mate.
Nor is 1t possible for voters to
ascertain what are "a candidates
qualifications for such a position a.
examiner Of public accounts. It IL
q position that requires technical
knowledge and undoubted integrity.
To properly measure a candidates
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-02-18

fitness requires personal contact, in
vestigation of antecedents and close
scrutiny of his qualifications, pro-
cess impossible to the mass of voters"
1t might also be added that with
the examiner of accounts an appoint
i've official the field of applicants for
that position will be greatly enlarg-
ed. Were the office elective compar-
atively few would seek the place and
they would all have to be residents
OF oregon. When an office is appoint
i've the place seeks the man and it
does not have to confine the search
to any particular locality Many
capable man will gladly take an APP
pointive office though he would re.
fuse to seek an elective position.
If we are to have efficiency in the
public service then minor positions
calling for technical fitness should
be filled under the merit system
not by election. II the people elect
the governor and other general Of
ficials that is enough. Let those men
select people for such positions as ex-
aminer Of accounts, state printer,
food and dairy commissioner and
kindred offices. The general officials
may be trusted with making these
appointments because being elected
under the direct primary and being
subject to recall they are directly re-
sroas.bie to the people and must
serve the public welfare.

TRIED TO END LIFE.
Negro Sentenced to EleCtrOCu-
tlOn SIashes His Throat.

Geneseo Courtroom Scene Of Desper-
ate Attempt Of Convicted Man to
End His Life-Prisoner Draws Ra-
zor From Handkerchief Before Dep.
uty 6herlffs Could Interfere and
Saws Away at His Throat - other
News Items Of General Interest.
Jim Williams, negro, when sent
enced to death In Livingston county
supreme court at Geneseo Saturday
night for the murder of James Duffy
of Honeoye Falls leaped from his
chair, drew a razor blade from his
handkerchief, and cut his throat be-
fore deputies could interfere. There
were many women in the courtroom.
Some became hysterical, others faint
ed and pandenlonium ensued.
The deputies, upon seeing the light
ning-like move of Williams. jumped
forward supposing he was reaching
for a heavy inkstand before him with
some murderous purpose.
The negro. however, lodged back
yard, dropped on his back and sawed
al his throat with the blade. Before
the weapon could be taken from him
he was covered with blood.
The hasty examination which fol-
lowed at the Jail showed that he had
missed the iugular by but a small mar
gin and he Is weak from the loss OF
blood. II he Is in physical condition
for the ordeal he will soon be taken
to Auburn, where his electrocuton is
to take place during the week Of juno
II.
Williams crime is considered the
most brutal In the history of Livings-
ton county. He walked into the Duffy
home last February, killed his aged
victim with single blow from large
club and pounded Mrs. Webb, Duffy's
sister, into insensibility.
Williams then seized Verona Duffy,
10 years old, and dragged her to the
woods nearby. At the edge of the
woods, however she escaped, but only
after her arm was broken and she had
received other injuries.
