TIVE CONSCIENCE." ENATOR FULTON Is a genial politician, but his professed reason for not favoring state- I went No. 1 will not commend ' itself to reasonable men. His first break Is to base it on 'the amazing . proposition of a ; legislative con- . science. ; He' sayt it might violate a leglBlatl veonsclence tpj'choose'' for ' senator the - man. whom the people have: ' named aa their choice. No " doubt.;irjilsnenappenedar . the : legislative . conscience didn't agree with hat the people wanted. That has long been a legislative char- , acterlstic in ' Oregon. . The people have asked the legislature many a time for salutary and wholesome laws that didn't agree with the "leg' islatlve conscience," and those laws were turned down. r That is why the , people of Oregon pounded away nntll they got the initiative and referen dum. fThe first thing they did after they got It was to pass, the primary law, in spite of the "legislative con science.'?'; That law which provides for the people's 'choice to be the senator the legislature ought to elect was against the "legislative con science" then, -and . is apparently against, Senator ' Fulton's conscience . nowv'S i Jt j:1,.:, ..' ., . With, some' of the records that have ' been, reeled off in senatorial elections at Salem, It is howling comie opera to Introduce "legislative .conscience" as reason for destroying the Oregon primary law. How about - the'; fleglslative conscience" in that ' Illustrious legislature that assembled at Salem, that howled and boodled through the corridors of the state house for 40 long days and nights, and - never organized, leaving the state's billf unpaid, piling up costs on the taxpayers, disgracing the name of the state and humiliating every man, woman and child in it? Where was the "legislative con science" -when, with, a single excep tion, in senatorial elections for the past 20 years in Oregon, the mem bers have for 40 disgraceful days subordinated every legislative act to choice of a senator, and spent the whole session in chasing through the streets of Salem and the chambers of the statehouse, an untamed, un controlled and demoralized mass, more like wild men than staid solons, wlth"rnmors everywhere of traffic, FAVORED BY FORTUNE. G OVfiRNOR HUGHES Is a lucky man. As a political factor he may noi do so guttering a figure as his successes in New York seem to indicate. He appeared in New York, politics at an auspicious moment. Never was so glittering an opportunity set before a man. The insurance operations, reeking with corruption, had Just been laid bare. Tkeeealr fbiroM -by-the -insurance officials of enormous sums of policy holders' money to the Roosevelt campaign fund had Just been ex posed. The whole system of New York politics was shown to be honey combed with corruption and Infamy. Public officials of every political brand were smeared and tarred with the same nasty stick, and all proven to be the partners in graft of leeches, cormorants and political buzzards. It was a spectacle that made every Citizen-hold his nose and flee dis graced and disgusted at the sight of politicians and political machines. It aroused a tidal wave of resentment that gave Mr. Hughes his opportun ity. It was a chief means by which he was able to overthrow existing conditions and to appear as a Moses. It was the victory due as well to dis gusted and disgraced citizenship as to Mr. Hughes. The facts suggest that his friends may be over-capital izing Governor Hughes as a political force. His veto of the 2-cent fare bill in a state where railroads can best of all afford a 2-cent rate adds to the surmise. Why did he veto that bill? States district attorney, but we have yet to hear any one question his desire to enforce the laws and pun ish the lawbreakers. Indeed if he had been a little less . zealous In doing his duty his term of office would probably be much longer. (Spatial Dlapateh Tb JowmI.1 Seattle, Sept 4.

In case H. M. Cake decides to be come a candidate for the United States senate, there will be a demand from many quarters that he define his views as to statement No. 1 of the direct primary law. If be takes the same stand that Senator Fulton has taken, he will probably find that his cake Is dough. Senator Fulton's Idea seems to be to allow the people to name the United States senator, provided they name a Republican. Otherwise it don't go. If Mr. Harrlman had only waited until the rains begin, he might have had water enough to float a dozen new railroad schemes.

The sun came out well soon after adding to the damage. Squash and cucumber vines suffered most, and in some cases mmaio vines were Killed. It is the overtime. The local here has demanded that its members be paid the same scale as is in force at San- Francisco. Members of the local union contend that it Is unfair for them to be com pelled to unload the vessels of the San Francisco and Portland line at the Port land docks lor 40 and 60 cents, when the same company paid San Francisco longshoremen 60 and 76 cents for hand ling the same cargoes in the Bay City. They also argue that the San Francisco men receive higher pay for unloading the same cargoes handled by the Port land men at the local docks at the low scars in rorcsnerc As a further ground of dissatisfac tion, the Portland men point to the Higher wages paid by the Brown-Mc-Cabe company. These men are paid 60 and 824 cents for every kind of cargo, with the exception of lumber, for hand ling which they receive 60 and 76 cents, the same scale paid by the San Fran cisco docks of the Harrlman line. At the hadquarters of the longshore men no statement would be made re garding tha existing difficulty.

He says the longsnoremen made a request but it was a long- time aao and that at tha last conference held the men appeared to be satisfied with the exlstina condi tions. He said he did not know of anv new developments in the matter. Among the longshoremen, however, It is evident that an Immediate settle ment of the controversy Is expected. Although members of local 2f4 are loyal to the company and have remained at work patiently awaiting news of an increase they have apparently come to the conclusion that further action is necessary to cause their demands to be given consideration and it is nvpected that a strike will be called within a few days unless the company gives heed to their request. ' In the opinion of the longshoremen the company could not break a strike at this time should one be called. Mem bers of local 266 say that there Is now work ror more than 40 men on the rival docks. The loyalty of members of 264 has prevented them from going over to the other local and working for the higher figure. Should a strike be called, however, this scruple would be removed and the. men would be free to accept employment under the higher scale.

Whether it Is the snflle. or tha tact, or the wisdom or merely the big personality of the man who many expect to become the next president of the united States, none can agree. But that be is leaving a wide swath of friends behind him. seems to be admitted by everyone. Since last SDrlnar Mr. Taft has been inspecting the country's army posts In that wide region west of the Alle- ghenles.

He also possesses the gift of put ting those whom he. la with imnlniv v ineir ease at once.
