cumstances remains to be seen. II
Senator Burgess is left helpless the
people OF this county will have no
one but themselves to blame. In vot-
ing for senator from this county they
chose to revere a party name above
actual political principles and they
may reap their reward in loss of sem
atorial influence If so it will be but
poetic justice.
In the house we seem better off.
Representative Peterson, who is of
the progressive school, was con-
sis tent supporter of Rusk, the victori-
Gus candidate for speaker. He back
e6 Rusk because he was an eastern
oregon man and the candidate of the
progressive or anti-assembly element.
In standing by his colors while under
pressure Mr.. Peterson is entitled to
credit.
Representatives Mann and Mahoney
also voted for Rusk for speaker but
they were against him throughout
most of the fight. Both men We're
aligned with-the assembly forces and
worked for Thompson for speaker as
long as he had any show of winning.
Yet Messrs Mahoney and Mann can
not be criticised for their stand be-
cause both have been avowed assem-
bly, men all the time. AS both men
are holdovers and are therefore we'll
known personally that may make up
for the fact that they are politically
with the minority contingent in the
house.
But it must be admitted that thus
far things don't look good for
Umatilla county this session.

IN SWITZERLAND

The sanity and good sense of the
Swiss in the application of the initia-
tive and referendum may be COM
mended to the advocates in this coun-
try of this newest thing" in govern
mental methods. These founders of the
system make sparing use of the de-
vices, so that they shall not become
burdensome and so defeat the very end
of their creation. Proposed legislation
can be initiated by the popular fran
ohise only when it has the support of
fifty thousand voters. No law passed
by the federal assembly is submitted
to referendum except on the de-
mand of thirty thousand voters, made
within ninety days after the measure
has been passed.
Thus the referendum is not lightly
invoked, and it is not operative in re-
lation to questions of foreign policy.
in fact, between 1S4S and 1909, hun
dreds of bills were passed by the as
sembly and became laws and in all
that time the referendum was only
invoked thirty times In eleven cases
the proposed law was adopted by a
,,
while in the nineteen other cases the
law was rejected. Among the accept
ed measures was the principle of COM
pulsory UNIVERSAL insurance against
sickness, the establishment of a fed
eral bank, the unification of the cam
tonal laws into federal criminal and
civil codes, a monopoly of alcohol to
be controlled by the federal authori-
ties and the prohibition of the sale of
absinthe. Among the propositions re-
jected was a state monopoly of
matches, and the state purchase of
railways; but some years later the
railway question was again referred
to the people and was accepted.
This restricted use of the referen-
dunn, comparable to the submission
of constitutional amendments in our
American states, is recognized in
Switzerland as having had a SOLDERING
and steadying effect on the politics of
the nation; and the great mass of
citizenship, through it, has been i'm
bued with a high sense of civic and
national onsibility.-Indianap

IN THE SADDLE.

In organizing the Legislature yester-
day the 1rogressives took control in
both houses. Ben Selling, stalwart
statement No. l man and one of the
anti-assembly leaders in Portland
was made president of the senate
while John z. Rusk, statement No.
1-anti-assembly representative from
Union and Wallowa was made speak
er of the house.
This is as it should be. The anti
assembly forces are in the majority
and it would have been foolish for
them to have allowed the organization
to go to the other camp. They did
that two years ago and it is significant
that following that reacuonary vic
tory the assembly scheme was
Matched. But the move was too rank
and the people turned it down.
Now that the progressives have the
organization in both houses of the
legislature it looks like the last nail
has finally been driven in the coffin
OF assemblyism. The assemblyites
tried hard to gain control but they
failed. The requiem was sung when
the votes for Selling and Rusk were
counted. Both houses are now in
shape to enact progressive legisla-
ton. Some excellent measures are
proposed for this session and in his
first message Governor West makes
some decidedly meritorious sugges-
tions. Some of these will doubtless be
carried out by the legislature.
Yet it must be remembered that
every forward step will be resisted
by the special interests that are af-
fected. Because the progressives
have organized the legislature does
not mean that all progressive legis-
Iation will have smooth sailing. The
old guard neither dies nor surren-
ders. When driven from one position
it merely falls back to another. II
fights on and will continue to do Sc
as long as Plutocracy tries to rule the
country through controlling the poll
tics Of the country.
But the organization of the legis.
1ature under progressive control doe:
mean that the forces of reform hav,
the upper hand for the time being a
least.
There will be no law enacted legal
izing assemblies in oregon. Neither
will there be any jobbery with state
ment No nor with the initiative an,
referendum. The special interest
will not have things entirely thei
own way as they have often had II
the past. They will be playing a de
fensive rather than an offensive
game. 1t is a good thing to have tn,
special interests upon the defensive

Columbia. June 27.-The S. w.
Scruggs claim for $4,000, Of which
it was said $1,000 had been paid un-

cure a written permit from the cit,
clerk.
Mr. Booth stated that the contract
for the laying Of the storm pine IN
Main street had been let, the price
being 20 cents running yard. This
price was very cheap and had been
accepted out of the three bids for the
work.
The work on Calhoun street was
still going on, although it was pro-
crossing slowly.
Mr.. Thomas Wilson asked that the
crossing east Of the A. c. L. station
be changed but no action was taken
in the matter.
Mr.. Booth stated that the siding in
20 HARDY COmpany's warehouse
was laid above the level of the street
and asked that something be done
about 1t, as it prevented the water
from running off. The matter was
referred to the street committee.
Mr.. Lee reported that the work on
the new sewerage system was almost
completed and that it would be this
week. He stated that several hundred
feet OF the old line which was taken
up was found to be in a state of
deterioration.
Mr.. Booth stated that he had pur-
chased more cement at a slightly less
cost than that paid formerly.
Mr.. Lee reported that the Main
street paving contract had been pre-
pared and sent to Mr.. Geo. w. War

man be required to go to every fire.
Whlch request was put in the form
of a resolution and passed.
A long discussion as to the needs
of the fire department and the nee
essity of securing an automobile fire
engine was held. Mr.. Wilder made a
statement of what was needed by the
fire department and repeated the
substance Of a conversation which he
had had with the agent of the
Southeastern Tar.~ association. to
the effect that insurance rates would
not be lowered should an automobile
engine be secured now. This gen.
tleman had stated that the principal
trouble here was with I'll water sup
ply and not with the fire apparatus
although it was in an extremely bad
condition. Mr.. Wilder was in
structed to get bids on what was
needed by the fire department. The
discussion lasted quite a long time

CONCERNING SLEEVES.


When the sleeves are of the peasant
TYNE. large ~folded-back cuffs are usu-
ally employed as trimming, with per-
haps a narrow under-sleeve Of some
sheer white material, net or aiiover
embroidery.
This can be edged with a bit OF lace
edging or a narrow bias piping.
When the regulation sleeve, that Is
cut on the lines of a coat sleeve, is
used, the cuff is made more simple to
conform with this style. 1t Is usually
straight and untrimmed, except Tor a
ouble row Of stitching.
Sleeves OF a summer gown or blouse
admit of much trimming. Lace inser-
tion. embroidered or lace motifs, insets
of both lace and embroidery, with edg-
ing on the cuffs. are all correct II

PLAYING MANY PARTS.


What are you going to do for your
hat?" queried a woman the other day
OF her friend, who was packing Tor her
vacation.
"one hat in its time plays many
parts was the reply. And this is the
story.
The owner has one large shape of
rough straw. 1t is ecru and has a
slightly rolled brim that differentiates
1t from the sailor. 1t had an ordinary
black band, and this is allowed to re-
main when it is worn with the tailored
black-and-white linen suit.
But what does the clever one do when
she wears a blue linen dress? Well,
she has used a long piece Of the blue
material to make a scarf. A one-inch
hem edges the long sides and the ends
are pointed and hemmed.
A buckram buckle is covered with
linen and embroidered. The whole
scarf is hooked around the crown and
worn with the dress to match.
Then, there is a green gingham
frock with trimmings of oording. A
scarf was made to match, the ends
tapping under a round disk of the
green cord.
That Is not all. 10 wear the shape
with n yellow linen dress. the owner
has resorted to channels. The dress
was bought, and there was nothing left
with which to make a scarf. So a piece
of channels was purchased and a round
buckle covered. The ends were cut and
embroidered with yellow and brown
thread in large coin spots. The scarf
hooks around the hat, and there you
are!
With/the one little lingerie dress she
will no wear a hat. for she expects
to be ''on the co. except in the eve
nings. But the thought is good, and is
passed on to you

For the Young Bride

brides often find themselves in the
- position of having none but the
finest and most fragile china in their
closet. This keeps them in a constant
state of panic every time a clatter is
heard in the region of the kitchen. To
do away with the nervousness n re-
grets occasioned by the handling of
bridal china by uncertain and unsen-
timental hands the young h~ousekeeper
should purchase an inexpensive set of
English, Austrian or domestic china
and use 1t for breakfast or the less
formal meals.
1t seems a pity to see a careless SER
want nick her way through a fine col
lection of plate. Once knicked the
value of the plate is entirely gone.
and even the most skilled servant is
likely to handle the china with less
careful hands than 1t deserves. There
are any number of pretty patterns
among the cheaper grades, one of the
most popular designs being the one
p%ortraying the Chinese legend OF the
lovers who were transformed into
