HE TESTS AT SCARS

Soldiers:
No effort of ours can repay you
for the trials of half century ago.
1t is in no spirit of recompense, but
rather of veneration, that we bring
our offering to you. Thursday is
the one day in the year sacred to
you, to your deeds and to the mem
DRY of those who have been gathered
to their fathers.
There is some disposition, we fear,
for members of the younger genera
ton to make light of the battles you
fought and the hardships you en-
dured. Alas, it is tragically true,
that "he jests at scars who never
felt wound" What have we OF
this newer generation been called
upon TO compass, TO surfer Tor our
country? What do we know of
wounds?
1t is doubtless true that peace
hath her victories but they are not
spectacular, they are not of the ma
ture of those that carried your steps
to the brink of the grave.
No, let US not exalt over our posi-
ton but let US pay tribute to you
who made our bed of roses possible
and by your blood initiated the re-
gime of peace.
On Thursday you will form your
time and battle thinned ranks and
with the martyrs who stayed at
home," your wives. march before

sectional fight will be raised and one
measure may be used to kill the
other. Thus will history repeat it
self.
But the session is at hand and we
shall have a chance to see the legis-
tors operate within the shadow OF
the polls.
One candidate for governor con-
venes the session. Another will pre-
side over the senate and another is
chairman of the appropriation COM
mittee. 1t would be fitting to make
the fourth chaplain Of the House.
1t is safe to assume that some wire
pulling and twisting will occur. For
the people there is much of satisfac-
ton: They will doubtless get law
now badly needed and the regime of
the ancient politician be ended.

It was doped out that he was to sue
coed the statesman from Alexandria
in the Washington club and he felt
that with primary fight to make
the fruit wasn't worth the planting.
But the Governor did not do what
he might have done to defeat the
Keefe bill or the primary, which
passed the house in fine shape.
The governor has always had a no
ton that he was something more
than ace high with the people. He
may be wrong, you understand, but
that is the idea tucked away in his
head. He says he trusts the people
and the people therefore will trust
him. See?
This is the governors death knell,
say good many well meaning folk.
May be, but
With four people in the field and
primary that does not provide for
second choice it would be possible
for Eberhart to berenominated with
out securing majority of all votes
cast. Which might be easier than
to secure majority of delegates at
the state convention.
By the way. it's rather queer, this
opposition to Eberhart. The criti-
cism is all scattered, all general. No
one thing is pointed out as a failure
of duty, unless it be tie number of
speeches made and in that particular
he lags far behind the greatly popu-
lar John A. Johnson.
He is called tool of the interest
and the representative of the brew
ers. But is he any more a tool"
than Sam. R. Van SAINT was who was
reelected with record breaking
majority? In the last analysis you'll
have to admit that the opposition is
personal rather than official.
But other fights are pending.
Judge Ira B. Mills of. the Railroad
and Warehouse commission will have
scrap, indeed already has it as
Garfield of Luverne, a decidedly
strong man, is after Judge Mills
place.
Lyndon A. Smith will have Mana
han to scrap for the attorney gen.
eralship and may be others of more
calibre.
Even the deseryedly popular and
highly efficient Walter ]. Smith,
state treasurer, may have an oppc-
nent but may heaven help the man
who thinks he can defeat Walter.
julius A. Schmahl, recognized as
the best secretary of state Mime
sofa. has ever had. may be opposed
| by G. H. Mattson of Roseau, though
Mattson has once withdrawn after
announcing his candidacy.
4 So there you are. The primary is
right and just. simply because it
permits the people to take part in

Speaking about thunder claps:
There was once a call for an extra
session.
Whenever you get a notion that
Ed. E. Smith, the portly is asleep on
the job you may as we'll consign
yourself to political oblivion.
Ed. is wide awake and listening to
the murmur that rises from the vot-
ing masses. Also he has a remark
ably fine eye for reading hand writ
ing on the wall. When things busted
wrong, from his standpoint, at the
presidential primary he cody pushed
big stack of chips into the center
of the table and called the illuminat-
ing bluff of the opposition.
1t is a we'll known fact that Mr..
Smith has never been a serious advo-
cate of the state wide primary. How
ever, if it must come he prefers to
be on the wagon and not in front Of
it, thereby displaying at least ordi-
nary political sagacity.
There are four distinguished gen.
tlemen willing to serve the state as
governor of whom Eberhart is one.
The chief executive has constantly
favored state wide primary as the
initiated know. The members Of
this happy clan are also aware that
it was on this question that Eberhart
and G. A. Congdon split about the
close Of the last session. Mr.. Ches-
ter A. of Duluth was opposed to the
direct primary and the Keefe bill.

On June 4 the legislature will as
semble. The call specifies state
wide primary law to be put intos op-
Grafton at once.
Such a law can be passed and made
effective this summer so that the
next set of candidates shall bessnom-
mated by the people and not the pol
itical manipulators.
But the action of the legislators
will hardly stop at this one law.
There are others pressing and will
receive action at this special session.
Congressional reapportionment is
one of them. The present ninei dis
tricts will be carved into ten unless
Alvah Eastman has sufficient influ-
ence to head off this action. Mr..
Eastman is the candidate for con-
gresham at large and has doubtless
spent considerable money on the
campaign. If the tenth district is
created this would beiwasted.
However. let him have recourse to
the voters Of his own district and de-
feat Lindbergh if he can.
Senatorial reapportionment | will
be taken up. Out of the north will
come the advocates of this program.
And they have some justice back Of
their contention. It is hardly right
that two districts should hold the
balance of power in the senate OF
this state. That is the condition at
present. The First and the Third
hold the whip hand and they are
brewery dominated districts.
But as the north puts in its!bid for
reapportionment the south will ask
for tonnage tax. Hence the old

THAT EXTRA SESSION

Thus is the Gazette vindicated in
common with hundreds of other pa
pers of the state that advocated an
extra session.
Certainly it was the plan of the
Gazette that the session should be
called much earlier in the year. Let
us not complain at the lateness Of
the call so there remain time to ac-
complish the will of the people.
When the Gazette addressed an
open letter to Governor Eberhart on
this matter the editor was assured
by the governor that there was no
general demand for an extra session.
It was for this reason, said Mr..
Eberhart, that no call would be is
sued. The governor was wrong in
spite of the fact that no considerable
number of letters had been ad-
dressed to him calling for an extra
session.
There was a general demand and
it found expression through the
delegates at the state convention in
Minneapolis.
1t is no credit to the governor that
he could not earlier discover this
condition but it is to his credit that
finding it atlast he acted immediate

more?
Why not interest him in plan that will
teach him the value of money? Give him
weekly allowance with the agreement
that he deposit part of it on his savings
account, and to deposit all extra sums such
as birthday and Christmas money. He will
have good time and at the same time
have growing bank account He will
soon take an interest in the saving and for

CHINESE new YEAR
CELEBRATION HERE

With the exploding of thousands of
fire crackers the local Chinese viii
tonight celebrate the advent of a new
year by their calendar, and, because
they are in sympathy with the new
Chinese republic their celebration
will probably take a more noisy form
than is customary. Moan Lee, who
is one of the leaders of the local ce-
lestials, has applied to the police for
permission to shoot firecrackers in
the street and, while formal permis-
sion has not been given, they will not
be molested as long as their demon
stration does not go beyond the shoot
ing of the crackers.
For the most part, the local Chi
nese are progressives and, in keeping
with the recent edict, have shorn
themselves of their long queues. Both
Moan Lee and ING Goey, the ack-
knowledged leaders of the Pendleton
colony, are among those clipping off
their long braids

JUDGE HARTMAN Is
H0N0RED BY WEST

Judge G.. A. Hartman, former coun-
ty. has been named by Governor West
as one of the three men to investi-
gate the affairs of the Multnomah
county court but it is possible the
judge will be unable to serve owing
to the illness of Mrs. Hartman.
The following story of the ap-
pointment of the investigating board
is from the Salem correspondent of
the oregon Journal:
Salem, Ore, Feb. 15.lComplying
with the request of the East Side
Business Mems club of Portland,
Governor West today appointed the
following committee to investigate the
records of the Multnomah county
court:
A. S. Miller, member of Mulnomah
grange; George A. Hartman. ex-
county judge of Umatilla county; A
a. Cunningham, an expert account
ant who participated in similar in
vestigation in Idaho; James NJ. Wi
ley an expert accountant who has
been employed by state railroad and
tax commissions.
Soon after the January grand jury
returned it's final report, which Sc
verely criticised the methods in vogue
in the county court, County Judge
Cleeton spoke to the East Side club
He invited the club to name a COM
| mittee to make a thorough investi-
cation of the county courts records
saying the county would pay the ex-
penses of such an investigation. The
club accepted.
1t has been charged that the coun-
ty court has no system in keeping tab
on the county affairs, that the con-
tracts for the new courthouse have
been carelessly let, that the purchase
OF furniture for the new county farm
was made without asking for bids, and
that the system in general is not up
to date. The sale of gravel pit by
the county to Moss Bloch and later
to Robert Shaw. clerk to the commits
sioners. has been criticised. The pit
has been valued at SO, 900; Shaw paid
$3.50 for it.
Judge Cleeton and the two COM
missioners went before the present
grand jury and asked an investiga-
ton. Nothing has been done by that
body. Judge Cleeton when informed
of the governors appointment said
he was willing that the men begin at
once with the investigation. He ex-
pressed confidence that the affairs OF
his court would be found in good
shape. Many of the transactions Of
which complaint has been made were
started when the old board was in Of
flee. The only member of the old
board on the present board is w. L.
Lightner. d. V. Hart is the third
member.

Mrs. Hartman Improving.

That his mother Is now improving
from the Illness with which she has
been afflicted is reported by George
Hartman, Jr, who returned this
morning from Portland after having
been called there when the condition
of his mother was considered critical.
| Mrs. Hartman's recent trouble Is due
to plurisy. She was first affected last
Friday and it was then that the PEN
dleton man was called to his mother's
bedside. Another attack occurred Sun
day evening. However Mrs Hartman
! rallied from both attacks and is now
doing very we'll though she is still far
! from well. She is still suffering con-
siderably from the paralytic stroke
which occurred not long ago.

ELKS' FIRST PERFORMANCE
A ROARING SUCCESS
CONTINUED from page one.)


would have done credit to a vaudeville
circuit. Concluding the program was
a collection of feature stunts which
left a good taste in the mouths of the
home goers. Jack Vincent, dressed
as Topsy, made his feet dance a rat
a-tat on the floor while his legs
writhed and twisted in a most &C.
centric manner and he was followed
by "Old Nanny" Estes with hilar-
ious buck and wing. The quartet
sang plantation melodies from the
background while the Edminston
brothers and Jack Vincent picked out
sweet strains from their stringed in
struments.
And while mention is being made
formance, the orchestra which played
throughout the evening must not be
overlooked 1t is doubtful If ever a
professional troupe of blackface art
lists came through here who were ac-
companied by such splendid orches-
ira as that which played with the
Elks last night.
Tonight the second performance
will be given with a new program and
it is certain that 1t will be attended
by larger number who were pres.
ent last night. New songs, new
jokes and a bunch of new features are
promised and those who were in the
audience last night will testify thai
the whole will be presented without
the delays and drag which usually at
tend home talent production.

the Walla Walla high school cir
basketball players can "come back"
and retrieve the honors which they
lost several weeks ago to the PEN
dleton co-eds on their own floor.
They viii arrive from the Garden City
late this afternoon and tonight will
meet Coach Ruth Wise's proteges in
the armory hall. II they win, hon
ors for the season will be even. but
if they lose, the local girls may lay
claim to champion qualities.
In the previous game between the
two aggregations. the Pendleton
maids came out victors by scoring II
points to their opponents and they
believe they can duplicate the trick
tonight.
Prior to the game the boys of the
high school will form in line and
march down Court street and Main,
winding up at the armory and they
will enliven the way with yells and
other evidences of school spirit, for
they have not forgotten how Loyalty
the girls have supported them in al
of their games.
The following will be the high
school lineup tonight:
Centers, Ella Iazinka. Zel!a Thomp-
son; forwards, Muriel Sailing. Helen
Johns; guards, Ila Sturdivant, Edna
