Mr. Myora wna a ilelognto to tho con voution that nominated Abraham Lincoln for president, and is a llfe lnnir HintDOi'lnt' nf Rnntihllrinn nrln- ciplcs. Mr. Myers writes as follows on tho topic "Legislators Must Re present tho Peoplo": Legislators Must Represent Peoplo. Portland, Dec. 2. To tho Editor of Tho Journal It is said, "Nothing is moro cortnln than that tho con stitution of tho United States re quires tho election of senators by tho legislatures of tho states." Yes, certainly, ami no sane person dis putes it. That is, tho mombors of tho legislatures cast tho ballots that olect tho United States Bonators. But tho question nrlBcs, where did tho members of the legislature got tho powor or right to cast these ballots, and undor what circumstances and limitations? Whoso interests and whoso wolfaro do theso ballots rep roncnt7 Docs tho ballot ropresont tho Individual Judgment or interest of tho legislator alono, or docs ho cast It as tho representative of tho peoplo who voted for him and put him In ofTlco? Whom docs a mem ber of tho legislature ropresont; himself, or tho votors who put him thoro? Is ho a Rovm-olim mul Inw. glvor from his porsonal standpoint, or is ho an ngont of tho peoplo who oloctod him, and hound to obey tholr known will? A good deal has boon said about roprosontativo government ,nnd that is tho form of government wo havo, but in tho paBt, tho roprosontntlvo nan, in too many eases, represented IiIh own porsonal Interests rathor than tho Interests of thc mon who charged him with tno duty of rep rosontlng thorn, and an effort 1b now bolng made to get back to tho roal roprosontatlon of tho wholo pooplo by mombors who go as .public sorv nntB to tho loglBlatlvo bodlos. Tho thought that tho legislators, as soon iib tho ballots aro countod that olect him to olllco, Immediately becomos a sovorelgii, roHponslblo to nobody but hlmsolf, or his own personal Inter ests, is fallacious in tho extreme. It Is, In dood, subversive of our wholo form of govornmont. If a mattor should como up Mn a loglslatlvo body that had boon unforeseen and unprovldod for, tho ngont or ropro sontativo might, with proprioty act on his own Judgment, but in ovory enso whoro ho hnd boon instructod by his constituents, ho Is bound by ovory principle of honor known to men to ropresont thorn fnithfully nml well. Nor Is thoro anything in tho con fitlttttlou of tho United States, or tho stato of Oregon, or any other Btato, to provont tho pepplo from In structing fholr representatives as to what thoy want dono, in tho mattor of oloctlng a United Stntos sonator, or In any othor matter whatovef, Tho peoplo havo a perfect and unob Btructed right to Instruct tholr rep resentatives and tho nliresontatlves aro bound in honor to oboy, in all Horts of stato affairs. In fact, ovory party platform is instruction to leg islators, and certainly a logal olec tlon, as that of Juno laBt, Is as pos Hlvo Instruction as could bo thought of. To disregard It would, lndeod, bo subvorBivo to roprosontativo gov ornmont. Somehow It must be beaten out of tho bonds of prodntory politicians that a publics olllco la n prlvuto snap and that its emoluments and poworu aro to bo usod for pur poses of porsonal plundor rathor than for tho good of tho gonoral pub lie, and right now, nnd in Oregon. Is na good a tlmo nnd placo as will ovor occur to tost tho lasuo thus ralrly made. Ib tho ngont bound to do tho work of tho principal. Is tho quostlon in sumo. Appiy ii to business, in tho legislature, or anywhoro olso. Who shall boss tho Job, tho employer or tho employe? Tho "povvor" to cast n vote In n loglslatlvo body Hob wholly with tho legislator, and tho constitution's, both stnto and national, put IfMioro, but tho legislator must not uso that "power" for hla own porsonal bon etlt, nnd ns against tho public good, and ho dare not disregard tho known wishes of tho peoplo who gavo him toe "powor" to cast that ballot. That "power" Is not hla personal asset. It belongs to tho public whom ho is bound to Borvo, undor tho forms of inw. It 1b absolutely cortain that Ore gon gavo Mr. Taft nearly 25,000 plurality, and It Is equnlly certain that It gavo Mr. Chamberlain about 1500 plurality in Juno, nnd both elections mav bo fnirlv tnlcnn nn tlil. deliberate Judgment of tho voters of i i f . - . mo state, anu doui ottgut to be al lowed to Btnnd without question.
