ON TRIAL.
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.

MILWAUKEE.
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. Mr.
Strelb received SI and Mr. Shindler
37. The vote of the other candidates
was as follows: Alderman, Fred Leh
man 111. I. S. Mullan 79. O S. Mat
thews 30. Lehman and Mullan were
elected. E. T. 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.
Mayor-elect Strelb In a brief talk
stated that he wanted all the citizens
to unite In the upbuilding of the
town. Short talks were also made
by Isaac Mullan, councilman-elect, Ar
thur Dowllng, the new recorder, and
Jesse Keck, re-elected marshal.
A reception was given to Mayor
elect Strelb. at the Band Hall Tues
day evening, by the band boys and
friends. The boys first serenaded Mr.
Streib and then invited him down to
the halg. A large number of citizens
was. present, Including a number of
ladies. Mr. Streib was called upon
to make a few remarks. 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. Mr. Dow
llng and Mr. Sellwood also made short
talks. Refreshments were served and
the evening passed away very pleas
antly. Valard Brlstow, a slxteen-year-oiu
bov of this place, was taken before

nothing was done with him. Brlstow
