There is no doubt but that proposi tion hurt tho enso of a ntvislon of tho constitution which is very much nomled Jn Oregon. The enemies of revision took tho po sition that a now constitution meant swooping away all tho good features of the old one. They also took tho position that the initiative and referendum nmendmont provides nil that is needed to roviso ami reconstruct the old constitution. While nuither of these positlonH is tenable it must be mud that thoy had snino weight in defeating tho Itrowneli bill Tho senate doserVes credit for getting right on tho 'plan of electing nil the members. Now lot us get right as to the plan for an elective roustitutionnl conven tion. There should be provision for minority representation. In countiwt where two or moro mem bers of a constitutional convention nro to bo chosen Olio should bo from tho minority party. In Marlon, Man, Multnomah, Uma tilla and other counties there should be provisions mnde that would secure tho eleetiou ot Democrats. That would be ia the spirit of fair ness nnd equity that would lead to tho best result nnd to representation of all the people. In tho menu time, if tho old consti tution is not to he revised nnd inado harmonious with modern Ideas ami needs of the oommQUWwtlth, let us have the decency not to violate Ha provis ions. Those senators who voted ngtiinst a tumvuntiun to, revise the constitution ftliould bo bo proud to be Oovernor nt should ba tlio last to vote for approprla 91600 a year nnd live any way he ami, with his family or without. Thoy say the olllco will not Im left -vacant If there Is never n homo fur nlnhod for the Governor, No one will refuse the olllce.

Charles Sweeny has conquered him self nnd his nmbltions. Ono will go to tho United States senate because he has won solely by right of honost, decent methods. The other will stay at homo because ho would not besmirch his name and the honor of his pnrty by buying the ofilco at o much per vote. When Sweeny camo to Olympia and opened up hendqunrtors ho created something akin to a sensation in the stnhl old burg. Ills cfgars -were the best that money could buy; ho was al ways ready to dig down into his pok ni for a "stake" to !&mo unfortunate solon who hail "bucked the wheel" the night before with disastrous results. Thore waa not n man, woman or child In Olympia who could not go to him for assistance and get it. Thorcforo Sweeny was looked upon at first as a "good fellow." But soon ho was spotted as an "easy mark." Hut, whllo Charles Sweeny was al ways ready to open up his best box of cigars for tho politicians; would never refuse to loan a little "bunch" to a nocdy lawmaker, no did not como to Olvmnln to buy his way Into the United States senate. And when, nfter being besieged by tho political plratos of the present leg islators'being hounded by those whose lust and gred for money compfetdy submerged their honor nnd conscience, tho Spokane millionaire, disgusted with the position he found himself in, said. with characteristic bluntness: "Here's where I ensh in! This giimo is not on tlio level, i m being dealt marked cards! " Sweney entered the senatorial fight expecting to win on hia record. Ho was the first of the cnudhbites to ndvocnto a railroad commission bill a measure which hna met the en dorsement of practically every voter in this state. Ho gave more finnncinl assistants to the party than any other man of LU means in tlio stnto. There nro many wist Hido legislators who would not bo holding their offices today had it not been for tho gener osity of this mining millionaire. What fallacy of fate is it that brings those sa.mo xolons to Sweeny after warda demanding that he to whom thoy owo their present ofllccs brlbo them for their support! They hud pitched their tents In tlio camps nf the enemy, nnd boldly told Mr. Sweeny that there they would stay until he bought them one at a time. Some wanted $S00O. Others wanted $M00. And a few put their price of lion esty at from $(1000 to 7B00. Several oven went so far as to threnton that ouch day would lioe-st the prion $S00. And with each day Churl Sweeny became moro disgusted with these po litical vultures. On Thursday afternoon came the big crash, when one ef tho men whom Sweeny consider! his warm friend ami political ally, demanded that the Spokane man produce bk) "burrol" nnd that It Ik tapped at one. "We'vo got to have it, Charlie," ho stated. "Wo can't get the votes without $&OO,O0O. He refused and took his 28 votos to Pile and oluotod him. WHAT WILL IT COST?

It would not do to make a little progress in our cuy ,iii,n the nublie knowing that some body had a pain, and was actually suf fering from enlargement of the pure. At tho same time we wai . . building, we seed the new winning, uu cvervbody coacwles the necessity and Importance of this arove. However, it should come with reason and good cose. There should 1k no misumler standlog lctwen the peopU and the vheol beard. A committee of the board ha been appointed to erect a new boildiag. It has employed an architect, aid thte coouaittee has never met since. Soave miscellaneous plans have been sabwitted to the board, which the news n.n wv are so nnd so. No action ,, -- --, ... lias heen Ukcn by the board, neither decs any sseoibcr ef the board seem to have itijplaye4 my definite ideas about what is wanted, or what it shall cost. Is there not a little danger that tho board will by this proces3 get some thing it does oot waot, which will bo a "cat in a baft" proportion f It is easy enough for an architect to make pic tures, and submit them, and say "this will eot $3f,HW," and "that will cost so much. JJut bow noes 1110 puouc know what it will costf In the ancient history of Marion county might bo found some interesting data on the building of court houses. If tho mod ern generation is relinbly informed, tho "people" were to have a $50,000 court house, but when it was finished it cost something like $123,000. Everybody can remember how a $40,- 000 city hall was built a few years ago, and how it eventually cost a cool $100, 000. Can it be that an architect works on a commission, and finds it to his in terest to have a building increase in cost to the highest possiblo figure, in ordor to swell his emoluments, or is siidi a person employed on rational theories, the same as any other job is let! At a meeting of the board a few ev enings ago, it scorns that not ono mem ber raised the question, nnd nono of that body knew anything about what their architect was going to cost, nnd it suggests itself that possibly he isn't there wholly for his health. Iet tho school board or tho building committee wake up to the fact that they are representatives of the pcoplo of this district, and that thov should discharge that responsibility without fear or faver. If they are going to build a MS.OOO school house, all well and good, er if It is to be a $30,000 school hoosc no fault will be found. But the Bgnres should nut be juggled with. The people bae a right to know in ad- vnace jost what it will cost, and, white they haxe given the school board carte liUncbe, to do m they please ia this matter, thoy still have a right to know how much of their meaey M going to be Mown in for it.
