Because Oregon has really succeeded in solving the problem of popular election of United States senators without awaiting a century for the desired change in the Constitution, all the organs of corporate interests are assailing the state and heaping abuse upon her. Oregon is being made the butt of ridicule, and the subject of alleged witticisms by penny-a-liners employed by crinkled-necked representatives of the big business interests who are in the habit of wanting and taking things that belong to the people. The lead in the abuse of Oregon is taken by the Orcgo nian, which has flourished for lack of competition and grown rich off Oregon and Oregonians. The managing editor, E. 15. Piper, writes from Chicago that at the repub lican convention Oregon is now regarded as a "freak state, as Kansas used to be," while the editor is busy heap ing abuse upon the state and calling its voters crazy. . Oregon is regarded as a freak, simply been use it is im possible for anyone to buy legislators enough to give him a seat in the federal senate, the last stronghold of the in terests, as the editor of the Oregonian is accused of having tried to do. In other states, as in this state in the past, bribery and corruption have ruled senatorial elections. It is therefore "freakish" to break away from established tradition, although the same tradition is uniformly de nounced until the real remedy is applied. If it is "freakish" to eliminate graft, to let. the people really choose a senator and have a voice in law-making, to smash the ea re fully constructed political machines, to dethrone the boss, to undermine the universal rule of the public service corporation which has pilfered the public domain and seized the natural resources of a nation, then Oregon is a "freak" stale. Hut the "freak" of today is the wise man of tomorrow, and Oregon's freakishncss will soon become so universal that those states who painstakingly cling to the old way will be called freaks. That Oregon has led the way is shown by the following from the Minneapolis Tribune:. "Oregon is the patient and unselfish 'one night stand' in which new experiments in governments are 'tried on a dog.' Its people have submitted to every kind of new-fangled political device, from county prohibition to direct nomination and legislation by vote of the whole people. "The country has not profited enough by these painful experiments upon the living political body to pay for the sufferings of the tortured subject. But we should think it might be grateful enough to )regoii for a complete solution of the problem of popular election of senators to desist from ridicule of futile vagaries. "While other parts of the county have been discussing the futility of amendment of the Constitution and trifling with primary election of senators confined to one party, Oregon has found a way to permit the whole people to voic directly for senator at the regular election and make their choice binding upon the legislature regardless id' party division or feeling. "That is to say, all the people of Oregon vote for sen ator when they vote for members of the national house of representatives and the state legislature. Every member of the legislature must pledge himself to abide by the popular election of senator or nobody will vote for him. The people of Oregon elected a republican legislature, and two republican representatives. At. the same time they chose a democratic senator, "The legislature may elect a republican senator legally, but every member who took part in the act; would commit political suicide in Oregon. They are precisely in the posi tion of the electoral college, created by the' constitution as a deliberative body with free power to choose president and vice president, but reduced by direct action of the people outside of forms of Mv to a mere register of Un popular vote. "The American people art always taking short political cuts of this kind. We expect to see the Oregon method of choosing I'nited States senator adopted substantiallv in many other states and tinallv in all." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. .Tolin I.

Tbe appearance cf little dogs as ob jects of luiury goes back to the most ancient times. Documents are not wanting that go to show that Greek and Itomtin women had little dogs which were idolized by their mistress es. Even men, particularly among for eigners, were not ashamed to walk the streets of Rome with pet dogs under their arms. Speaking of tbls subject, IMutarcb relates that dull us Caesar, seeing one day lu Rome Borne strangers thus loaded with their dogs, asked them Ironically whether the women of their country did not bear children. Tertln, tbe daughter of Lucius Aure 11 lis I'nulus, ffM so fond of her dog that lu the moment of bidding farewell to her father, who was about to leave his country and his family lo wage war against IVrseus, king of Macedo nia, she frankly admitted (hut the sad ness imprinted ou her face was due to the death of her pet dog 1'ersa. In Europe the greyhounds were the llrst favorites of women during the middle ages. Koston I'oat. Too Much of a Good Thing.

Johnnie, will yon have some hash?" be usked one lad. "Met your life," replied tbe lad, who was constitutionally hungry. "1'eter, pass your plute for some hush"- to another freckled nosed lad. "Not If 1 knows It," was the unex pected reply. "1 thought you liked hash from the way you ate it litis morning," replied Mr. Marshall.
