PETITION Or BALLOT.
rBoone Nevs-Republican. ]


Where sentiment for the open sa-
loon is clearly expressed, as it is in
the case Of petition, the law stands
FIVE years without agitation. No
doubt the petition method works
against liquor interests in many cases
and it was intended that it should do
so. The mulct law makes II neces-
sary to establish clear majority IN
cities of 5000 and over and a much
larger per cent in counties and small
cities before liquor can be sold. The
prohibition law forbade the selling OF
liquor altogether, but it was found that
It could not be enforced IN commun-
tiles where sentiment was largely for
the open sale Of liquor. The mulct law
gives relief to communities over-rid-
den with boot-legging and blind pigs.

THE BOSS BOSS.


Candidate Roosevelt is irresistably
drawn to talk about bosses. AT Provi-
dence, r. L, he opened the campaign
some more. and he just could not help
talking about bosses He had first
been introduced The success Of the
democratic national ticket" he said,
means enthroning in power one set
of bosses: the success Of the republic
can national tickle, means enthronlnS
in power the other set of bosses. Only
two sets. He might have said the sue
cess Of the socialist national ticket
means the enthroning In power OF one
set of bosses; the success Of the ma
tional third term party means the en-
throning in power Of the other set OF
bosses. II Candidate Roosevelt calls
himself a leader he Is none the less
boss. He is the only candidate with
whom the big stick" Is Intimately
associated.
If the set of bosses Roosevelt headed
at Chicago in June had been able 70
enthrone themselves in power in the
national republican party the moose
would not have come out OF the OBJ
security Of natural history TO paw the
earth and frighten women and chill
dern with fierce tossing OF shaggy
horns. Roosevelt, was SO mad because
Of his rejection that he beloved a new
party into existence. Because II is
called a reform party does not make
ii SO 1t is a party OF self interest and
revenge: and precisely that is what the
American people have sought TO avoid.
Senator LaFolle,te may not be in the
best OF temper, bat he has the best
side in the argument.
When Roosevelt can not boss he will
quit playing He enjoys pursuit OF big
game, and he does not obscure the fact
BY saying he is interested in science.
Nothing suits him better than to ram
explosives down the threats OF people.
assuring them it is for their good. He
Is a surprising boss.
Roosevelt is cunning enough 70 kHo"
what he Ia He has surrounded him
self with bosses willing to eat out OF his
hand: and his encouraging word to
them is that together we will go In and
possess the land, horn swoggle the
people. and partake lavishly OF the
lands fairness.

DON'T BE sECRETrvE.

1t seems some members of the city
council have made objections to the
publication by this paper of proceed
ings at their secret caucus Tuesday
night. They are on the wrong track.
1t is always legitimate for news
paper to publish such news when it
can get it through honorable means.
II there is criticism due anyone in
this case it is due the city council for
attempting to hold secret caucus to
decide important questions relating to
the city government. The council
men are public servants, why should
they go behind closed doors to work
out their problems? Why not act in
the open so that all may see exactly
what the members do and don't do
The people are entitled to know what
is going on.
Besides a secret caucus is generally
farce since the secrets always leak
out. Sometimes councilmen will tel
most everybody but the reporters
what has happened and then express
surprise and indignation if the caucu;
proceedings are published.
There is one sure way to prevent
the publication of news of secre
council meetings. Don't hold secre

Oregon or any other state ever had,

dren would not be sold out of their
old home. 1 cred out, THANK God
that America has such men for gov
ernors!" The man returned as soon
as the mortgage was clear to serve

West when on my knees and ask God
to bless and keep such man always
as governor.
Last summer I was living in Port
land and the Oregonian stated that
there was work in Portland for 5000
men and yet the streets were full OF
men, drinking and spending all they

But he waited awhile,
And another, perceiving the

Got busy and carried the hon

In a praiseworthy style.

Mrs. Roman Hathcote.

At her home near Nettleton,
Nov. %, 1912, the weary wheels
Of life stood still and the spirit
Of Mrs. Roman Hathcote was
borne home to God. She leaves
a husband, fonr brothers and a
host of relatives and friends to
mourn her departure. At times
her suffering was intense. but
she bore. it patiently. She was
i'll for some time, and all that
physicians and loving hands
could do was done. but to no
avail other than in a measure
to alleviate her suffering.
Oh. that we could fathom the
mysteries of death and see why
our loved one was taken away.
1t seems almost unbearable, but
we know that God in His infinite
wisdom knows best, and her re
moval from earth was only the
fulfllment of some divine pur-
pose. Weep not. sorrowing rel
atives and husband, but remem-
Der that through the awful gloom
of death there shines with trans
parent radiance an eternal hope
that shall not lie lost that some
sweet day when your work here
shall have been frished your
soul will be as sweetly and peace
fully waited into celestial realms
of bliss as was hers.
A new made grave in Provi-
dence cemetery marks the place
where her form must repose in
the. mysterious slumber Of death
until the decree of God declaring
the dawn of the resurrection and
the end of time is borne on
angels wings from the chrystal
battlements of heaven.
The loss, though sadly felt by
all, is more sorely felt in the
home. All, who can measure
the extent of the seemingly mer-
cyless stroke that wrest asunder
the ties of love that made this
home happy? But there is con-
ISOLATION in the thought that she
is now numbered among that
countless throng of angels that
surround the throne of God sing
