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. What would Your WIFE DO IF YOU DIED WITHOUT A DOLLAR IN THE BANK ?

The country in general is just beginning to realize that hereto foro a very necessary oillcial of the judiciary has been entirely overlooked, i. e., tho Public De fender.

It is always hard to take a part that is unpopular to a degree. Moroneo Davis as tho love distressed heroine, was most effective in her palo cheeked grief over her "mon folks,' and Lobelia won her hearers with her laugh and hor gallant do- fonso of everybody in need of it John Mcurogor acted tho part of the upright olhco seeker am the defiant lover delightfully well.

The result was always a fore gone conclusion, with the young lawyer matched against an able and experienced lawyer, backed by tho machinery of his power ful ollico and tho prestigo of tho State. Tho Western City has pointed tho way. New York is follow ing suit. Ono by one the daily newspapers and weekly and monthly magazines are starting to advocate the proposition, and before long Slates and munici nalities in every section of the country will be endorsing and instituting tho idea. Interviews with prosecuting attorneys in various citios show mat these oillcial also recognizo the necessity of providing some other Bystom than tho one now m vogue, and concensus of opinion is that the creation of the ofheoof Public Defender will work to tho benefit of tho com munity in general, and incident ally be a money saver. Statistics show that nearly every city of any size appro priates yearly n greater sum of money for tho paymont of law yers appointed to defend in digent prisoners than would bo needed to pay tho salary and office expenses of a first class mull, life.

Most of 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 special interest. This attempt 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 district, thero aro. no doubt. many citizens who believo that they owo their health and lives to some one of tho various now systems 01 euro mat tho en trenched medical societies, aro 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."
