It Is apparent that the system of choosing United States Senators at popular primaries and binding the stale legislatures to abide by the choice is going to receive a severe test this winter. Not only In Oregon is there talk of electing some other man Senator than the one who was successful in the primaries, but also In Kansas, in Missouri and in Illinois. Everywhere the same arguments are heard that the direct primary sys tem of choosing United Stales Sen ators Is invalid on the ground that the laws providing for it would not be upheld by the eour's, because they provide a different way of naming Senators than laid down in the Con stitution; that frauds vitiated the re sults of the primaries: that the party voters clearly did not mean to in struct for the candidate victorious at the primaries, because the other par ty or the other faction of the party was successful In the Legislature. In Oregon it is urged that the Re publican nomination for Senator was . the result of Democratic votes delib erately cast at the Republican pri mary in order to force the Republican party to put up a weak man for the office. Then, with this weak candi date named, the Democrats were eas lly successful at the polls. There fore it is urged that the Republican legislators, who are pledged to abide by the results of the popular election, violate their pledge, and elect, not the Republican who was successful at the primaries, but his defeated opponent The reasoning by which a reversal of the expressed will of the people is justified is far fetched. Probably the participation of Demo crats .in the Republican primaries is greatly exaggerated, and the motive of those who did participate is very likely misrepresented. Nor does it appear certain that if the other Re publican candidate had won, the re sult at the polls would have been different Governor Chamberlain, the successful Democratic candidate, has repeatedly defeated Republican can . didates in the Republican state of Oregon, and probably would have won in any event If the situation is an omalous, the proper thing to do is not to break the law, but to repeal it In Oregon the popularly chosen candidate for Senator Is of a differ ent party from the majority of the Legislature. In Kansas and Missouri be Is of a different faction of the same party from the majority of the Legislature. That la urged as just as good an excuse as exists In Oregon for violating the will of the people expressed In the primary law. - Frauds ar? alleged. If the election were to be held over again, the public Is told that the result would be different: therefore the legislators are advised to let the defeated candidate's friends Interpret for them the second thought of the electorate. In the Kansas leg islature, out of 118 members only 36, if not bound by the result of the pri mary, would be supporters of Bris tow. The others are urged to "obey the federal Constitution" and vote according to their "consciences." In Missouri the Folk legislators outnum ber the Stone legislators two to one. In Illinois the outcome of the Senate primary Is regarded as not necessar ily binding upon the legislature, and in North Dakota also the contest is to be carried Into the legislature. Probably such contests are Inevit able, for the system Is new and the custom is not yet established of abid ing by the results of the primaries. But it is to be observed that the di rect primary system was created In response to a demand by the people. Violation of It will probably be haz ardous for the party that Is respon sible and extremely dangerous to the individual legislators who are .per suaded by the kind of arguments we have rehearsed to break their pledge to their constituents. Probably the talk of ignoring the primary results will come to nothing. If it avails and the primary system falls to secure to the people the right of selecting their Senators, a new Impetus will be given to the movement for a con stitutional amendment providing for the election of Senators by popular vote. New York Tribune. Many a base insinuation and Idle gossip may be treated with dignified silence, thereby letting the character be its own vindicator. To take up a stone to throw at eery barking dog is usually a waste of time. It Is the duty and privilege of every person to do all the good he can in passing through this world. How extensive that good may not one can tell, but It is sure to enlarke by practice.

At the city election held Monday, Philip Strelb was chosen Mayor of Milwaukee for the ensuing years over William Shindler. the preseut mayor, by a vote of over two to one.

Gullan received 109 votes for treasurer, A. H. Dowllng 101 for recorder, and Jesse Keck was elected marshal. Mr. Keck received 99 votes. As soon as the count was completed the friends of Mayor-elect Strelb surrounded him and ottered their congratulations. Mr. Shindler then took the floor and declared that he would do all In his power to aid the mayor-elect and do all he could to push Milwaukee. Mr. Shindler said: "You all know what has been done since I have been mayor, for the past five years, and I only hope the new mayor will continue the same work we have tried to do. I want to thank the 37 men who voted for me today. I want to say that while I have differed from Mr. Strelb the past few months, I now offer to shake hands and call the past gone." The mayor and mayor-elect then shook hands and there was a general handshaking between the opponents.

The prin cipal thought of his talk was that he wanted all the citizens to pull to gether, and unite In the up-bulldlng of the city. He also thought it was best for not only the council to meet but for the citizens to come to the meetings, thus giving them an Idea of what Is needed, and to talk oyer matters with the council.
