Portland and the Pacific coast is
now assured Of another transconti-
mental line according TO a press re-
port printed last week when Il was
announced that the Chicago & North
western company had completed ar
rangements for the extension OF its
line. one arm OF this extension will
reach Coos Bay via Eugene and ST.
uslaw. while the other will have its
terminus in Portland. It is proba-
BILE that there is more activity in
railroad construction in the West
than in any other section OF the
country az this time. and il only
serves 20 emphasize the great strides
that the Pacific coast Is making In
the way Of development The coming
OF the Northwestern will benefit the
entire state Of oregon. Il win ofer
still further advantages for transpor-
tauon Eastward FOR the products OF
the Beaver state and opening a more

RECEPTIVE CANDIDATE.

Although his enemies may deny it,
there is no gainsayng the fact that
Bryan is receptive candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
tion. His every action at this time
prOclaims that probability, and that
he hopes to ride into the favor of the
Baltimore convention as a dark horse
candidate is apparent to the close
observer. Just now there is a good
sized row on between the Wilson,
Clark, Harmon and Underwood forces
which seems to point unquestionably
to a deadlock, wherein none of the
four can win success. In that event
what more natural than that the tur-
bulent cohorts of Bourbonism flock
once more to the peerless leader"
and again ask him to head their ma
tional ticket. There are those who
mated, even as a compromise candi-
date. That his avowed enmity for
Clark and Harmon will preclude all
possibility of gaining support from
friends Of either; that he cannot
have the support of the South which
stood for him four years ago against
its better judgment and that, without
this, he cannot hope to succeed
But the Nebraska statesman is
dominant factor in Democracy, and
II is probable that he knows with a
good deal of certainty. just what his
chances would be in the event of a
deadlock He is taking just enough
part in the present controversy to
keep his name before the people and,
while he has announced his friendli-
ness for Wilson, he has not actually
endorsed him. There is no question
but that, prior to the Wilson Harvey
Watterson imbroglo, the New Jersey
candidate was the strongest in the
party, and as such, Bryan found his
own interests enhanced by a Lam
guild support of his candidacy, feel
ing sure that Wilson's friends would |
accept him as the next best, in the |
event of Wilson's failure. Bryan |
knows that, in an open fight, he

large number OF delegates whose |
friendship and votes he would no |
doubt be able to secure as a COM |
promise candidate. hence he is keep
ing still, OF saving wood" as the /
saying goes.
With Wilson as the radical candi-
date. Harmon representing the con-
servative element OF Democracy, and
Clark tripping merrily down the ex-
act center Of the road. Il is hardly
probable that any one of the trio can
command enough votes at Baltimore
to win the coveted honor II is GER
tain that no one could do so. Il the
convention was to be held next week.
and IL is highly improbable that con-
ditions VIII materially change be-
tween this time and June. II appears
therefore, that the dark horse COM
promise will be the natural result
and Col, Bryan is setting his pins in
that direction.

A calm and argumentative down
state newspaper whose editor is a
recent importation, declares that the
referendum is the tool the people
are using to get back the government
into their own hands" Such blatant
demagoguery as this belongs to the
populistic age, in bleeding Kansas,
when all that was necessary to Sc
cure Office was to mount a dry goods
box on the street corner and howl
about the "plutocrats," The govern
ment is what the people make it and
if they have lost control" as the
above editor intmates, what's to him
der they're reaching out and grab
bing it? If the people, who are the
government, don't want a certain
thing, 1t is certainly within their pow
er to eliminate it. How will the
referendum or any other idiocrasy,
promulgated under some other ism"
offer relief from the people them
selves? If things are wrong it's the
fault of the people and it's the peo-
pie who must institute reforms. A
republican form of government is no
better nor worse than the people that
constitute it. What is really needed
is more Independent thinking and
less dependence on leaders; more
common sense and less grand stay
ing playing and bowling about plu-
tocrats and the adoption of new, un-
tried and senseless systems" that
cucumber governmental machinery
and increase the expense of state.

Commenting on a decision of the
state Supreme Court which held IL
legal the voting of bonds in Jackson
county for road purposes, the Med
ford Mall-Tribune takes occasion to
whack the oregon system which. it
declares, is preventing the develop
ment of this state and causing 1t to
fall behind its sister commonwealths
in the march of progress. From
careful reading of the MT. in the
past we had been led to believe that
II was a supporter of said system,
and this acknowledgment coming at
this time, is an "eye-opener." The
Observer is not learned in the law
but it fails to see the justice in per-
one county Of the state to
set up an independent tax system of
its own. and then forbidding another
county 20 bond itself for road pur-
poses. II such erratic decisions are
the result of the Oregon system,

'gon City for permission to overcome
the discrepancies of his handiwork.

If one of the final results of the
domestic science department of the
public schools shall be to teach the
girl students the real art of cooking,
patrons will be more than repaid for
all the money it costs. Recently a
class in this department of the Port
land schools demonstrated their abil-
ity in bread baking to such an extent
that domestic science is taking new
lease and threatens to become still
more popular, at least with those
who believe that goOds" wholesome
cooking, is the prime factor in con-
tented home Among other things
the girls are taught how to boil po-
tatoes If their instruction shall be
carried still further, and instructions
given in roasting meat, and frying
ham, other good results will be ac-
complished. The only attainment of
many girls in the culinary depart
ment, appears to be restricted to the
construction of a cake with a dozen
layers, or the concoction of an elab-
crate dish with a jointed French
name, but they are strangers to bread
baking and the more common re-
quirements of good meal. Domestic
science as applied to the necessaries
of life is much to be desired. 1t is a
science all right, but too few of our
society budlets are scientists in this
although they may know
how to fire Latin and Greek at you
by the hour. But a knowledge of
the dead languages will not provide
Dad with his dinner and that's what
Dad usually wants.
