THE PEOPLE ARE SOVEREIGN.

American reactionaries who look
with horror on the initiative and ref
erendum and other features of the
Oregon system will please take note
that in conservative Canada, as well
as in Mother England the people of
the entire nation have the use of the
referendum power
II is true the English and the Can
adams do not vote directly upon leg
islatiye measures. But their elections
amount to virtually the same thing.
Whenever an important issue is up
the demand is made that the admin
istration go before the country for
endorsement Such action is taken
and the viii Of the people is final.
IN the election in Canada Thurs
day the people of the dominion were
supposed to vote for members of par
nament But in reality they voted
uron the adoption or rejection Of the
reciprocity treaty. 1t is their will
that the treaty shall not be made and
it viii not be made.
All Of this they do in a land that
Is still governed by a king who sits
upon tlnsel throne surrounded by
all the follderoll that goes with roy
atty.
In America which is avowedly a
land Of popular government the state
of Oregon has led in the adoption Of
the initiative and referendum and Of
other reforms. They are eminently
right and proper and only serve to
make our democracy more real. But
OF course the move has caused the
tories Of this country to have seven
kinds Of fits. In Oregon the reac-
tionary politicians were so alarmed
over the situation that they held an
assembly to set matters right. In
Illinois another tory, Judge Grosscup,
has sadly walled that the people are
the final court in America. He
thinks it is awful and will resign his
position
But the world moves forward in
spite Of the tories. 1t has always
done so and always will.

AN IDEALIsT.

In his young boyhood God unto him
An angel, one who. bearing from his
skies
Immortal gladness, breathed it on his
eyes,
And laid upon his lips a sacrament.
saying, Behold, o child, to thee I
give
That which nor time nor fear shall
make its spoil,
The gift of love to hearten all thy
toll,
OF beauty to be thine while thou
dost live"
And since that day, though fifty
years have sped,
Though care full oft hath been his
haidmaiden,
And on his path pains driving hurri-
cane
Pale wreckage of his morning hopes
hath spread
Yet still with brow uplifted to the
sun,
And mouth whereon an old love-son-
net sleeps,
His golden vision all undimmed he
keeps
And dreams of purple heights yet TO
be won.
Still with that morning wonder in his
eyes,
Through teemirg thoroushfare ana
crowded mart.
He goes with unscathed soul and
gladsome heart,
Wise even as a little child is wise.

CROOKS ALL AGAINST 1T.

Find 4 crook in politics or business
and ou'll find an enemy of the initiat-
i've. referendum and recall.
Yes, some honest men are opposed
IT. them, for honest men differ about
that as about other things. But you
don't find some of the political and
business crooks lined up on one side
and some on the other side of the re-
call and initiative and referendum;
they are all against them.
That's worth thinking about. You
see AN honest small business man
against the initiative, referendum and
recall, and you know no one is buying
his opinion and his vote. But when
you see a big or little crook in ,the
Legislature voting against the initiative
and referendum and recall, YOU know
scme one has bought and paid for his
vote: and you know fhe buyer has a
mighty good "business' reason for
buying votes against those measures.
Some honest men who are ignorant
or stubborn. vote with the crooks
against the initiative, referendum and
recall. But you don't find any of the
crooks voting for it. And that's worth
remembering.-San Francisco star.

DON'T BE PARTIAL.

Every day that passes brings US
that much nearer the time when paw
ing will begin on Alta, Cottonwood
and Webb streets. Yet thus far moth
Ing has been accomplished towards
having the overhead electric and tel
eIhone wires removed.
Some weeks ago an alleged con-
ference was held between. the coun-
ciImen and the general manager OF
the electric trust. The meeting con
sisted in the handing out by the gen.

talk" with reference to the terrible
costs that would devolve upon prop

should be placed underground
Prior 70 that councilmanic confer
ence the same line Of talk was given
to the East oregonian by the afore-
mentioned general manager. This
paper was not greatly impressed with
the sage remarks because it has learn
ed to be deeply suspicious Of the ver-

the affairs of their corporations are
a. stake.

Administrative organs have contend
cd for months that the reciprocity
treaty if adopted would not affect the
price of wheat. Yet here comes the
report that tNe news of the rejec-
uon of reciprocity by the Canadians
caused a sharp advance in the wheat
market in Chicago. A prediction has
been made that the defeat of recip-
rccity will mean an advance Of 20
cents in Chicago If such results oc-
cur the wheat farmers of Umatilla
county may come to think someone
tried to bamboozle them.

Some skunk who is too cowardly
Il sign his name is writing scurrilous
stuff for the Pilot Rock Record upon
the subject of Pendleton's water stu
alton and upon the relations between
local people apd the Pacific Power &
Light company In his last effort he
casts aspersions upon the motives OF
the East Oregonlan in the controversy
over the grounding of the electric
wires. He insinuates this paper has
been trying to blackman the electric
company.
If this lying coundrel-whather
he be lawyer, doctor, or candle stick
rlaker-will but show his face this
paper will be glad to show him up to
the public and also treat of the re-
Lotions between this paper and the
electric trust. Our record is extremely
clear.
Meanwhile it might be timely to re-
mind the management Of the Pilot
Rock Record that such bushwacking
- it is fostering is out of date. Fur
thermore that the corrupt practices
act provides among other things that
such skullling tactics shall be barred
from the journalism of the state of

There are various preparations sold
by manicures to remove stains under
the finger nails. With careful laws
most Of these can be relied upon, but
if there is any doubt about "a special
preparation substitute lemon juice.
AS stain remover it is excellent,
and the woman who keeps half q
lemon on the stationary washstand
where she washes her hands rarely
will have to blush for the unsightliness
of her nails.
Oxalic acid is also good, but is in
furious to some skins. 1t should be ap-
piled with bit Of cotton on the end of
an orangewood stick In using the
lemon the tips of the fingers can be
rubbed into a section of it. Later rinse
well with clear water.
Stains on the sides Of the fingers are
quickly removed with moist pumice
stone. This is invaluable to get of the
first blotches after preserving, paint
ing or doing any disfguring work. In
cases where the skin under the nails
has roughened little powdered pun.
ice can be moistened with lemon juice
and applied with an orangewood stick
Never scrape away stain; it rough
ems both cuticle and nail and becomes
dirt catcher rather than dirt re-
mover.
Soaking the tips Of the fingers ir
| olive oil will helU to keep the Skin
about the nails in good condition.

INSTEAD Of ROBINS
DUTCH" PALMER USED IN MI
NOT AS NEVER FAILING SIGN
OF APPROACH OF SPRING.

The following from the Minot Optic
will be Of interest to the local friends
of "Dutch" Palmer, who played ccnte::
field for the Devils Lake baseball team
during portion Of last year:
Spring is here. AEy fan who doubts
the assertion should aispel the thought
at once. The first chirp Of the robin,
the trickling of the waters from the
melting SHOWS, or the gentle patter Of
the rain drop may mean something to
someone, but to the Minot fan the ar
rival of "Dutch' Palmer in the Mag
ic Cit from his far ava home in the
Sunny South metans spring. No other
proofs are necessary. "Dutch' has
arrived and is now in our midst. He
is ready to play ball at an time the
powers that be say so. He intimates
that he never felt better in his life
and that during the coming summer he
is going to dispense such an article Of
ball that the big leagues will sit up
and take cognizance.

Sweet Cream Face Bath.


When woman's face Is inclined to
dryness in cold weather the less she
uses water on it the better, for the
water is drying and will aggravate the
condition that other agents which are
cleansing may soothe and even heal.
A person who is willing to take the
trouble to use sweet cream daily on
her face will give the best of treat
ment A tablespoonful of cream is sui
flcient for this bath. To every table
spoonful Of cream should be put ten
drops Of tincture of benzoin. This lat
ter preserves the integrity Of the cream
and is an excellent application.
To use this mixture small bit Of
old soft linen should be saturated and
the face then thoroughly wet. The
throat and the flesh behind the ears
should also be bathed. Then with
the finger tips the surface so anointed
must be rubbed gently for five minutes
This will send the cream into the pores
and loosen the dust. The face must
then be wet with more cream. This
last wash is to remove the soiled ap,
plication.
Before retiring is the best time fol-
this work. The last amounting must
remain on all night. In the morning
the face should be wiped with lotion
Of one-eighth glycerin. the other sever
parts being rosewater. The wash is
intended to have just enough glycerir
in it to prevent the astringent action
Of rosewater.

Summing tho Hair.

The reason that some wOmen's hair
is SO thin is because they never give
the air chance to get at the scalp,
especially with the number Of rats worn
nowadays. But, even If You do not
wear them, give your hair summing
at least once a week and every day If
it is possible. Your hair needs such a
treatment, and SO does your. scalp, for
the cold dries the natural nourishment.
and thus the hair Is likely to become
dry and lusterless. Take all the hair
pins out Of the hair, remove all the
tangles by running the fingers through
It, then seat yourself in comfortable
seat by the window through which the
sun Is streaming. Toss the hair about
from time to time and massage the
scalp to get the glands working prop
erly. Part the hair in different places
SO the sun will get all over the scalp.
Do this for an hour If you can: but, If
not. half an hour is better than none.
You need not fear headache unless it
is the hottest part Of the summer.

GRIFFIN coMPL1MENTED.
Ramse County Man Made Good Al
Chief Clerk of the House at Bis
marck.

Bismarck, N. D., March 6.-Chief
Clerk Griffin of the house, who is also
mayor Of Edmore, returned home yes
terday for few days with his wife and
family and to see how the affairs of
his cit are progressing. He will return
to Bismarck to remain another month
in order to get out the house journal
and superintend the cleaning up of the
session g work.
OF all the members of the lower house
none deserves more praise and credit
that Chief Clerk Griffin. His energetic
and systematic traits of character were
of the greatest help to the speaker and
a large share Of the sessions success
and accomplishment of its work, espec-
tally, is due alone to him.
Mr.. Griffin was always ON hand, had
everything at his fingers tips and
nothing escaped him. He was the best
friend Of the newspaper men and help
ed them whenever he could, frequently
going out Of his way to accommodate
them in the preparation of the daily
reports. He had a good voice and
could be heard distinctly in all parts
of the chamber where the auditory
acoustics are extremely poor.
On the closing night of the session,
Chief Clerk Griffin made a clever lit
tie speech in which he thanked nj: the
members for their courtesy and re-
minded them Of the fact that they had
heard his voice SO much, they would
probably not care to hear him again.
Their was. much protest over this and
story.

HUNTERS MUST WAIT
SPRING SHOOTING BILL PASSED
BUT CARRIED WITH IT NO
EMERGENCY CLAUSE.

Though the bill permitting of the
spring shooting of geese passed both
the house and the senate at Bismarck,
it carried with it no emergency clause
so that the nimrods of the state will
have to put back their trusty shot guns
and wait until fall before they can un-
timber. The bill will, however, permit
shooting next spring up to May lst.
The bill creating Bird Reserve on the
islands in Devils Lake passed and has
been complimented by the state legisla-
ture as one of the best measures passed
this year. The bill was drawn by Mrs.
Falger of this city, who has been active
in securing its introduction and pass
