Yesterday was Thanksgiving.
The day is sacred. The hearts
of men should be grateful for
the blessings that have been
theirs through the past year.
While the scanty harvests of
Europe are being ground under
the hoof beats and the wheels of
machines of death: while men by
thousands are dying daily on the
battle fields and in the hospitals
beyond the sea, and a pall of in
expressible sorrow hangs over
the broken hearts of whole em
pires : our people sing the an
thems of peape as they gather
their amnio harvests, as no sign
of war or of pestilence is in the
air or on the earth. Surely ours
should be a most grateful people.
h
Summaries of Oregon election
returns show that all of the
twenty-seven measures and
amendments on the allot affect
ing industries, taxation and in
vestments have been defeated.
The press or the state was
almost unanimously ngainst
these proposed laws- condemn
ing many of them as radical and
freak propositions 1w the result
is defeat of a vicious system oT
legislation. For some of theso
measures, campaign were made
and a great deal of money spent
in advertising them, and strong
organizations wore put back of
them, but tlio voters had made
up their minds to check the sys
tern. The .voters are aroused to
the fuct that this system is a
vicious abuse of the Initiative
and Referendum, and they have
wisely saved Direct Legislation
by destroying the abuse.
Many of the proponents of
these defeated laws and amend
merit!) will undoubtedly come be
fore the legislature with proposi
tions to put them over, perhaps
in changed form. This has lieen
done in the past. When the
voters have snowed under a so
called progrcBsiv
has bobbed ui
oral assembly and been lobbied
through.
Tlio advocates of resurrecting
any of the defeated measures
will be given a cold shoulder for
the first time by the Oregon
legislature, if all signs fail not.
Tho verdict of the votorn is for
a letup in legislative activity
that tntertures with industries
and business.

and that in the past many per- the hard hearted villian to the
sons gumy oi no greater crime

individual prejudice on the part
of tho judge trying the case, but
due to an obsolete system which
provided for tho appointing of
a youthful and generally inex

The result was always a fore

Tho campaign of tho regular
medical organizations of Illinois
to secure ante-election pledges
from candidates, binding them
to support tho doctor's legisla
tive programme, has aroused
strong opposition from numbers
of citizens who, though probably
not themselves interested in tho
rival theories of cure, aro deep
ly concerned in pieserving tho
freedom und moral integrity of
thoir legislative representatives.
I'ow things aro mora sub
versive of freo government than
the presenco in legislative bodies
of lawmakers who aro pledged
beforehand to further Bomo

of tho organized physicians
affords an impressive illustra
tion. Here is a special class
seeking legislation which would
greatly increase tho financial
revenues ot us members while
taking from many thousands of
citizens tho legal right to em
ploy the practitioners of their
choice. In every legislative

seeking to outlaw. It would
seem that tho legislator would
bo morally bound to keep his
mind free and unbiased until ho
had heard both sides of a ques
tion so grave and personal as
that of ono's right to resort to
any curative metnod which
ono might select; yet this is
precisely what tho political doc
tors are striving to prevent by
pre-election pledges which would
practically make tho legislator
the doctor s man and establish a
most dangerous and subversive
precedent.
It makes no ditterenco that
tho medical interests claim the
legislation desired is for tho
public good. Special privilege
always, in seeking legislation
favorable to itself, makes its
plea on tho ground of "the gen-
oral good." But in tho present
