most ordinary individual may strike
as near the real outcome as the most

II. J. Parkinson. of Portland, the
lawyer who has made himself the

institutions of the state of Oregon.
says that he has already drafted a
bill for the consolidation of the state
Agricultural college and the state
University. or course he knows all
about il and what is best for both
institutions, but notwithstanding, he
has actually agreed to withhold the
hill from circulation until after the
commission in whose hands the sub
ject has been placed by Governor
West shall investigate and. report.
Thus. by inference. this pettifogger

With a total of 40 measures to be
voted on at the fall elections. and
with still more threatening. the lot of
the conscientious elector in NOvem-
ber is going to be an unenviable one.
Among this mass of proposed legisla-
tion is one which practically elimi-
mates the constitution and substitutes
an output of the U'Ren law factory.
II is beyond the bounds of reason to
suppose that everyone who will vote
on these proposed measures will un-
derstand fully all Of them. Yet the
workings of the oregon system, as
at present constituted. leaves the de-
cision as to the most important mat
ters Of government. the perpetuity Of
our most sacred institutions in the
hands Of the great mass OF the voters
who must cast their ballot, to a GER
tain extent without being fully in
formed in the premises. Not that the
average man doesn't care. or hasn't

the average individual to fully in

While contemplating the row on in
the ranks of the Republican party it
is well not to lose sight of the fact
that the Democrats have a fair-sized
scrap on themselves. With William
j. hiking about the country, taking
various and sundry falls" out of
Gov. Harmon the while boosting for
Woodrow Wilson, and denying that
he himself is a candidate, and with
Others pouring hot shot into the camp
of the Nebraskan, it is easy to see
that Democracy isn't a bed of roses
these days.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-05-17

The above tender sentiment is from
the pen of james Whitcomb Riley,
the Hoosier poet, who writes from his
heart and whose beautiful songs
have touched the human soul and
appealed to the best that is in us.
Riley wrote of the homely things of
life and of things as we know them.
1t is a Sunday day." or it should
be. 1t is a day of remembrance. A
day of honor for those who have gone
before, a sacred period in the hurry
and hustle of life when a beautiful
custom makes it meet and proper
that we should strew the sleeping
places of the departed with the fra
grant blossoms of early summer.
Having it's birth in the misty years
of the long ago, and made doubly
sacred by the Grand Army of the Re-
public, it has come to be generally
observed by everybody, and it is made
the occasion of an annual tribute to
friends and relatives who come no
more.
How inharmonious with the day
and its teachings is the blaring an
nouncement of the circus. This
monitor of sordid commercialism
comes into our thoughts on Deco
ration day with a grating blare of
trumpets and bespangled mimicry en-
tirely out of keeping with the spirit
of the occasion. A day set apart as
one for remembrance of the dead is
desecrated by the CLINT of the gaudy
and Mapping banners of the sideshow,
and made hideous by the blare of ri
otous bands, the shrill note of the
calliope, and the hoarse shouts of the
circus attaches
IL is indeed regrettable that this
thing has been permitted in Dallas,
but still, The Observer holds all
blameless. 1t was an unfortunate
mistake that is regretted as sincerely
by those responsible for it, as it is by
the most Jealous patriot. Since it is
here, we can only make the best of it.
But It should serve as reminder for
future action, and If it shall result i'm
a more general observance of the day
i'm the manner intended, perhaps the
error viii not be without its redeem
ing features.
