SQUABBLING: NAME

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Edmund Clarence Btedman's own
poem, "The Undiscovered Country,"
was sung at his funeral. This Is the
poem:
Could we but know
The land that ends our dark, uncertain
travel,
Where lie those happied rills and
meadows low
Ah, If beyond the spirit's inmost cavil.
Aught of that country could we sure

Who would not go T
Might we but hear

Or catch, betimes, with wakeful eyes

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?
