AMONG THE PEOPLE.

Manchester Center. Vt, Dec, IL.
My Dear Mr.. Bennett
May ! take moment OF your
time to suggest work which you
through your excellent Journal
might accomplish for the moral and
spiritual uplift of Manchester and
vicinity?
The Public Improvement Society
is eyerting itself to cultivate the
esthetic side OF our natures and
this will, no doubt. have some ef-
ect on the moral tone OF our vii
lage. But, would IL not at least. be
an complication of the christian
spirit If all the churches and good
people of our villages would unite
for the moral and spiritual uplift OF
the town?
Suppose for a time we should lay
aside our theological and denOmina-
uonal differences. and forget that
We wish 10 build up our churches
and congregations and work only for
the public good. Would 1t not be In
line with the true Christ spirit?
1t seems to me that all who are
interested In the uplifting OF men
could work together on the common
platform erected by our Lord in the
beginning. Namely. by grace are
ye saved through faith; Tin Jesus
Christi and that not OF yourselves;
il is the gift OF God. Not of works
but any man should boast" Ephes-
ians 2 SO.
On such platform We could
remember only. that it is the bust
aess OF the churches and christian
ieople to lead men to God and let
Him save them, or dispose of them
in His own way.
Surely our villages are in great
iced OF work of this kind. Can
not the Journal take up the matter
and present it to the public?
Fraternally,
GEO. C. PARKER,
Pastor M. f. Church.

The Question of Bad Company.
Colonel Roosevelt quotes with ap-
proval remark of DR.. c. W. Saleeby
that he finds it needs constant brac-
ing up of the Judgment" to hold to
his faith in equal suffrage in the face
of the extreme and Objectionable the
ories advocated by some suffragists.
He might get it very well braced by
observing the attitude of the solid
vice and villainy of the nation toward
woman suffrage. On which side are
all the undesirable classes of men
that the colonel excoriates so severely
those who beat their wives and neg
lect to support their children, the ex-
ploiters of women's labor and of child
labor, those who profit by the white
slave trade, and the mass of its pat
rons? There is some bad company
to be found on both sides; but by far
the largest amount of the country's
immortality is in the camp of the anti
suffragists.
Mrs, Howe had a much longer and
wider experience of suffra gists than
the colone. She often said that one
of the pleasures resulting to her from
her conversion to the cause was that
1t brought her into 'such high COM
pany.' She had expected to find the
and objectionable; she found most of
them the salt of the earth. There
were some undesirables even in the
early days, and with the enormous
spread of the movement in recent
years, all sorts of people have of
course been swept into it,; yet Mrs.
Howe could write in her reply to
Mrs. Humphrey Ward, in the Lon
don Times of October 1, 1908: I'm
the experience of many years, 1 have
always found the advocates of woman
suffrage occupying higher moral
ground than that held by their oppo-
nents." I'VE who are gathered here"
she said at a suffrage convention.
are not condemners of marriage nor
neglectors of home and offspring. We
are individually allowed to be men
and women of sound intellect, of re-
putable life This has always been
true of the great bulk of the suffra-
gists.

PROGRESSIVES WIN.

Returns from yesterdays primary
election show a sweeping victory for
the progressives throughout the state,
the defeat of the reactionaries in the
presidential contests being especially
complete.
Roosevelt is conclusively shown to
be the idol of the republicans of
Oregon, as he is of Illinois and Penn
sylvania. He made a marvellous run
in Umatilla county and throughout
the entire state.
Reports received thus far also in
dicate a victory for the progressives
within the democratic party. Woodrow
Wilson will have the Oregon votes at
the Baltimore convention.
In a general way the verdict given
yesterday is heavy Indictment of the
republican party under its present
management and the results received
show the suspicion with which the
people view the forces of big busi-
ness. Despite the fact Taft had the
backing of a powerful Organization
over the entire state, had many speak
ers and paid workers and the back
ing of almost the entire republican
press he went down to crushing de-
feat.
Were it not for the fact the ma
jority of states will select national
delegates through conventions rather
than through preferential primaries
Roosevelt would obtain the republi-
can presidential nomination with
ease. Even as matters stand he will
20 to Chicago with such formidable
backing that the politicians may de-
eide to take him after all. 1t is not
probable, however, that such will
prove to be the case for the opponents
OF Roosevelt are as bitter towards him
as the Roosevelt men are bitter tow
ards Taft.

FROM THE PEOPLE
THANKS FROM JUDGE LoWELL.
Will Run Again for Senator III De-
fcated This Time.
Pendleton, Ore, April 10.


Pendleton, Ore, April 10.
Editor East Oregonian:
Dear Sir:-Whatever political for
tunes may be in store for me, and
whether or not am today successful,
desire to express my exceeding ap-
probation of the Voluntary, free and
able support your paper has rendered
me in the campaign now closing.
Most newspapers regard the cleo
tions as now conducted in Oregon a
harvest season. and too often the pur-
chase of advertising space carries
with it editorial support. AS a re-
suit the high place once occupied by
the press in our political life is pass
ing. Candidates and measures ought
to be discussed without fear and
opinions expressed regardless of ad-
vertising patronage, if the mission of
newspapers, as quasi-public institu-
tions, is to be met. In the long run
the people will measure the character
of newspapers correctly, even in a
commercial age.
l hope to win today, but if l fail
my political enemies may as well pre-
pare for another contest two years
later. l am going to be senator from
Oregon. Respectfully,
STEPHEN A. LOWELL.

FOR VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

After studying the subject two years
subcommittee of the City Clubs
comittee on public education has made
a report definitely recommending the
establishment of new public school
courses or schools to fit boys and
girls for the task of earning living,
says the Record-Herald. The need of
such education appears in the sta
tistics showing that the city has some
$4,000 children between II and 16
Years of age who are not in school
and more than half of whom are
idle. These children are likely to
grow up unskilled in anything while
there is need Of trained workers in
many vocations.
The board of education has done
something to meet the demand for
vocational training, and the report
welcomes this: 1t proposes nothing
revolutionary, and it shows that ''the
work in commercial education in
Chicago is not designed to meet the
special needs of Chicago" and that
the business colleges are not doing
the needed work.
Plainly there is need of the pro-
posed instruction, and the public
school authorities should make their
plans in the light of this extensive
and careful study. AS conditions in
the United States approach those in
the old world, the danger of produc-
ing a class of casual workers
whose members are unable to get per-
manent employment because they
have had no training in anything, be-
comes serious and must be guarded
against. The able and comprehensive
report of the City Club comittee
should cause action toward the es-
of more vocational
schools or courses of the right sort.
It should receive careful considera-
ton in all educational circles.

The republicans of Umatilla coun-
ty voted strongly yesterday along
certain lines. But they have SEEM
ingly failed to work one or two
clean ups that are badly needed. Per-
haps the people can find good demo-
Gratis for the place this fall. Cap
able democrats are better than unfit
republicans even if this a strongly
republican county.
