STOP SQUABBLING: NAME GOOD MAN. tJ A SENATOR BOURNE ought to ; withdraw his recommendation of Christian Schuebel for the 1 district attorneyship and stop ' ' this unseemly squabble in the dele V gatlonover the office. The others . In the delegation should take Mr. ' Bourne -Into their confidence, wipe ; out the past and enter seriously i upon the duty of having a district '.attorney appointed for Oregon. In ' looking for a candidate they should consider, not their own political for tunes and the bearing an appoint . ; ment might have thereon, but con ' alder only Oregon and the people of Oregon. They should find a man of capacity, of experience and of un doubted probity. They should find a man whom no Influence, no matter ' how. high and mighty, can deter ( from doing his duty as an official. ..They should find a man who, as v charged with representing' the peo ple In (he office, will prosecute a de , fendant regardless of whether that ; defendant be the friend of one or aj dosen United States senators. He should be 'a man who will at all ' times and under all circumstances look upon justice as blind, and ap ply the law Impartially and forceful ly, 'whether the defendant be high ' or low, rich or poor, feeble or pow erful. Me should b a man whose ' appointment will instantly challenge ; the-confidence of the people and whose administration will not bring shame to them and the state. There are scores of such men in Oregon, men who would gladly ac- ' , cept the position, and in the name : of common decency why cannot the delegation stop this brawl at Wash lngton and name one of them for the place? In view of tbo disclosures, first and last, in the federal courts, It ought to dawn on the delegation that the time Is past for using pub lic offices as a personal asset to be - parceled out in the payment of debts to politicians for political serv ice rendered. The appointive offices are the people's, not the private prop erty of senators, congressmen or chairmen of central committees. Let each member of the delegation so conclude, Jet' them drop personal considerations . and substitute the public welfare as the final and only test of selection, and let theni at once name any one of scores of good strong Oregon men, to the end that It shall no longer go out to the world that lawyers In Oregon cannot be trusted, and that foreign talent must be Imported to prosecute Ore gon criminals. is all there Is to it In effect the two measures are identical. They produce exactly the same results. They provide for se lection of senator by the people. If a majority of the legislature is pledged by Statement No. 1 to elect the people's , chpice, the. people's choice will be elected, will go to the United States senate and be seated. This has been proven in Oregon, and proven la a manner gratifying to the people and to the credit of the state. Those who oppose the plan do not want senators selected by the people,, and they know, it. Pre tensions or assurances to the con trary are false and hypocritical. Those who make them want sena tors elected by the legislature. They have a man or men for senator who dare not run the gauntlet of the pop ular will. They want to sneak in at the end of a senatorial deadlock. It Is their purpose to see to it that the commonalty, the distrusted and burden-bearing common herd, shall have no hand In naming the next T I a . . t . i if aw 1 . .

And Tlicn Dome for failure by the legislature to pass certain revenue-raising measures What newspaper has directed one half as much abuse at the legislature for Its senatorial deadlocks? But not one criticism has it been able to utter against the people of Oregon for results so far attained thrdugh initiative legislation. It approved and supported the passage of the primary law, a law that the legis lature never would have passed. It approved and must still approve the passage of the corporation tax law, after a law of the same effect had been turned down by the legislature. Indeed, in their use of the direct law-making privilege the people have so far made no grave mistakes; the legislature has made countless blun ders, both accidental and designed. The use of the power, so far, In stead of being discouraging. Is high ly encouraging, for the Intelligence and simple honesty that has been manifested. If there had been griev ous errors, more errors, say, than successes, the advice to "vote no" on everything might be excusable. In the light of the. record it Is wholly Inexcusable.

TRUST THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE T rllERE IS downright perversity ln the advice, given by the Ore gonlan to Oregon voters, to "vote no" on all the proposi- Hons under the initiative and refer endutn at the coming election. It Is unjust to the voters of Oregon to s ' give them advice that carries with it ' the Insinuation that they are stupid, Ignorant masses who do not know " enough to distinguish between the merits or demerits of a few proposed measures. It comes out of that dls . ' trust of the people that a certain self-selected class has entertained ever since the foundation of this gov- ernment was laid. The very con ' stitutional convention itself manl tested this distrust for the common :i alty, and that distrust was con . stantly present In the proceedings. -Tbo commercial and seaboard 'classes, led by Hamilton, who I wanted a king, dreaded the effect of participation ln power by the small farmer', tne frontiersman, the rural " , laborer and every other citizen other than a proposed self-constituted and ' self-selected ruling class. It was this dread of the humble in the be ' 4 ginning that provided for so much of "the representative form in govern arnent. It was this mistaken folly that made the senator elective, not by the people, but by legislatures, a f folly that nobody now has the temer - ity to defend.' .--And it jls proposed to keep up to ; K the last possible moment this dis trust and fear of the common peo ' pie. They are told in the Oregon lan'B article that they are too stupid k to legislate, and they should, "vote no" on, all the Initiative propositions. It is strange advice in view of the ' record. What , newspaper has as much condemned the legislature for shortcomings s has. the Oregonlan? . Its columns after the' adjournment cf the last session reeked with abuse ( in the majority, who initiative a failure? There are several good measures, among the few propositions to be voted on in June. They ought not to be turned down and will not be. The people know their business, and may always be trusted. It has been laborers and others from the com mon herd that have always fought the country's battles when a musket had to be carried. They fought and won the battles of the revolution while the higher and wealthier classes were Tories, giving aid and comfort to King George. They fought and won the battles of the civil war, while the higher-ups that want now to do the ruling, stayed at home and got rich by selling sup plies to the government. They have fought all our wars, they havo digged all our wealth from the soil, and having done this they should have the right, as they have the in telligence, to help make the laws. The voters of Oregon should not "vote no" to all the Initiative prop ositions. They should sciiitluize each measure carefully, vote accord ing to their honest Judgment, and the result will be wholesome and good for the state, far better, in all human probability, than if done in a legislative body. PUBLIC OWNEPwSHIP FUL. SUCCESS- P UBLIC OWNERSHIP of water works Is showing gratifying re sults at Corvallis. A pipe line 15 miles long was built to Rock creek, a cold crystal stream on Mary's peak, tapping the stream w.ithln two miles ,of its source. The cost of the system including 15 miles of distribution mains was $75,000. Bonds were issued for the amount at 5 per cent, and the annual interest charge is 3,750. The report of the water commission shows revenues from water consumers for the 12 months ending December 31 was ?10, 242. 61. After paying Interest and running expenses there was a balance of $3,949.98 on hand. In cluded In the year's expenditures was $1,000 paid as part of the purchase price of the privately owned plant that supplied the town with water before the city system was installed As a result of the investment Cor vallis has water surpassed by none and has in addition experienced an unusual growth ln wealth and popu lation, a growth attributed ln part to the excellence of the town's wa ter euppiy. It we ever get to the point of making the proposed park and boulevard improvements,' for which bonds were voted last June, a park superintendent fit for the :lace ought to be cheap enough at $2,500 a year, and perhaps It would be economy to have one at that price now. Since the park board has hired a man, It would seem to be the formal duty of the council to provide the means to pay him. We wonder if the platform-makers of the Republican party will have the assurance next summer to de clare, again ln favor of reciprocity, and to allude to it as the "handmaid of production"? Very likely; they probably will suppose the people can always be fooled by the same old claptrap jargon.

There are few people who are not i.ngr to subject themselves tn much trouble and expense to have their own way. Tho Farce of Money. Portland, Jan. 29. To the Editor of The Journal Wouldn't it be a great stroke of business for our government to create a line of nobility with titles corresponding to rank so that our American heiresses could supply their needs for titles with the "home made" article, and thus keep the billions of dollars at home that the Yankee girls annually trade off for European titles? We haire a Duke d'Tallowhlde, Count Soapsmore, Baron Steel'emall, Lord Wreckbanker and a thousand other suggestive and appropriate titles. It might a good thing in more ways, than one; it might De a good xning, ror in stance, If those billions and billions that go to build up European estates were Kept at nome ano distrmuteu through commercial channels, so that in times like these they could supply work ror tnousanos or men in tnis country who have nothing to do, and if those billions were spent ln New York it might make less frequent such pitiful instances as that recorded ln the same columns of the paper, telling of the decorations of the Vanderbllt man ion, one item alotie orchids costing $40,000. The pitiful incident was that of a homeless woman giving birth to a child on the pavement of the same city with the thermometer 20 degrees below r.ero, on the same night as that on which $40,000 was displayed in orchids, and wedding- elfts to the amount of over $1.000,000 now wouldn't it be a, good stroke of American financiering for the senate and house of representa tives to create a line of nobility with titles for sale, so that our American heiresses could really get the worth of their money and not have to take the little foreign shrimps with empty titles tied to them?
