ATHENA. ORE. FEB. 24.... 1911

The Legislature forces the people to
make use of the initiative and refer
endum. is the opinion of the East
Oregonian. Through (petty political
chickering's the mem bers waste yalua-
tle time and then fail to accomplish
work that should he done. The refus-
al of the senate to make a change In
the Office of food and dairy commits
sioner is an instance. Bailey was
twice subjected to investigation by
the legislature. Each time he was
found guilty and the verdict was that
If he would not resign, he should be
removed. The house voted to oust
him but in the senate there was con-
tingent that stood fast against reform.
Because Governor West had urged the
removal of Bailey, the Bowerman
forces took up his defense. 1t was
peanut politios" " pure and simple.
Yet sufficient number of senators
lined up to block the move. Inciden-
tally it is the shame of Umatilla
county that Senators Barrett and Bur-
CESS were in the group. In acting as
they did in this case the senators did
not represent their constituents. The
people of this county do not favor
keeping in Office man who has never
been anything but political barnacle
and who has allowed his office to be
used to defeat the very purpose for
which it was established, as Bailey
has done. Every time the legislature
acts as did the senate In this partic-
ular an argument is made for use of

This year colonist travel from the
East promises to be heavier than ever
before, and all transcontinental lines
are making extensive preparations to
accommodate it. The Hartman sys-
tenn has appropriated $3.50, 900 for
advertising purposes. the greater
amount of which sum will be devoted
to exploitation Of the varied resources
of the Northwest country. More con-
cessions in the way of reduced rates
have been granted than ever before.
This fact coupled with the exhibit
cars which all transoontinental rail
roads have been sending through the
east, all tends to stimulate interest in
the Northwest.

An increase of go per cent in appro-
priations by the legislature over that
appropriated by the 25th asse y bly,
will surely have no tendency toward
iessening taxes. The present legisla-
ture has appropriated 81, 500. .460.43 Of
the peoples money for one source and
another. as against total appropria-
tion Of $3.087, ,487.51 by the previous
legislature. To Offset this enormous
sum, no revenue of consequence has
been provided. 1t is a matter of dig
up and pay it through taxes.

How to Kill Potato Bugs.

Elmer A. Paulson the potato king
of 0rrick, has gotten out a small
handful, telling how to kill potato
bugs. Mr.. Paulson has made sue
cess of the potato business and
what he has to say on the subject
is always worth reading for he is
considered an authority on the po-
tato industry.
Mr.. PauIson gives the following
directions:
During the past two weeks we
have been asked by a number of
growers of potatoes, both for home
use and the market, what to use to
destroy the potato bugs or Colorado
beetle; and for the information of
others. we have printed this flyer.
For a dry spray use one pound of
Paris Green and four pounds of air
Stacked lime; mix thoroughly, then
put it in a gunny sack, or a flour
sack, and shake it over every plant
infected. If you want to use a wet
solution, use two ounces of Paris
Green to three gallons of water; mix
thoroughly and spray every plant
infected, using any kind of sprayeI
every four days as long as you car
find live bugs. Two or three spray.
ings, unless rain interiors, will kill
your patch of bugs. 1t usually
takes about 8 days to destroy the
old bugs. and from 6 hours to
days to kill the young ones. -Liber

Making and Keeping Friends

Making friends is easy to the girl
who is bright and happy, whose So
ciety gives pleasure and who is gen.
ial, but the keeping of them de-
mandS more than this.
70 keep a friend don't get too
intimate with her.
Have your own thoughts and
permit her to have hers.
Do not demand too much of her
in the way of confidence.
And do not be too aggressive,
wanting to know why she hasn't
done this and why she doesn't think
as you do.
If her style of dress is not beauti-
full, don't tell her; it will only offend
her. because deep in her heart she
is convinced that she knows a great
deal more about 1t than anyone
else.
Do not find fault with a friends
friend snd do not expect to be the
only one given d corner in her
heart.
Be as considerate Of her feelings
as if she were q stranger, and re-
member that politeneSs is an every
day garment, and not one intended
only for holidays. To sum up in a
sentence, preserves the courtesy of
the beginning to keep the friend

After The Trusts.

Washington, June 15.-Criminal
prosecution of the officers OF the
Standard Oil Co. and the American
Tobacco Co. was demanded today
by Senator POmerene, who address,
ed the senate on his resolution CALI
ing upon the attorney-general to
undertake such legal action.
The Ohio senator declared at the
outset that the Sherman antitrust
law was specific in its authority to
press such suit against; conspira-
tors who restrain trade, He CON-
tended that the lawyers, doubts of
the meaning of the statute were in
proportion to the size of the fees
they receive from their clients" and
that the Interpretation of the law
by the supreme court of the United
States was clear
Now, with those plain findings
of fact and conclusion by the court
that this statute has been violated
he said, what reason can be given
by any sworn Q0urt official for noe
continuing his fight against them Ia
order to bring them to the bar Of
justice?
What excuse can. any lawmaker
or any executive official give to the
people of this country for a failure
to enforce this law, when they are
every day exertine themselves to
punish infraction of the law against
other transgressors with less money
and less influence at their COM
mand?

As To Praisine of Men.

older than he was, that no man
ought ever to be praised, that it
was up to every man to do his
duty and to work to the best of his
ability without praise or coddin, but
| think little differently about that
now. think now that occasional
ly when a man mas done a good
thing it does no harm to pat him
on the back little
you have to use discrimination
about this, will admit. There are
men who if you praise them, get a
swelIed head. throw out there chests
and think they are the whole works
and straightway begin to deteriOrate
or to require praise all the time, but
there's an astonishing number of
men of quite another sort.
Il know a lot of men who work
not only faithfully but well, men
devoted to duty who take a pride
in what they do whatever it may be
and who think of that only, never
looking for praise, but like the rest
of us, they are still human.
Il used to think it was up to a
man to do his duty and if he didn't
he was a poor sort, and as far as
that's concerned l think that way
now, but now think a little praise
now and then does no harm, and il
