The flemand for this amendment has grown stronger year by year but the attitude of the sen ate has been one of unyielding oppo sition. The people will wait for at least another 30 years If they must wait for the senate to acquiesce in their demand. The only way to achieve the end sought is to Insist that every candidate for the state legislature shall sign Statement No, 1 as a prerequisite to nomination and election. Harriman has won his fight against Stuyvesant Fish. We may now look for a repetition of, that fa mous transaction in high finance whereby Harriman and his associates cleaned up a profit of over $12,000,- 000 by selling Illinois Central stock to the stockholders of the Union Pa cific. The story of these and other huge piratical transactions by Harri man was told last week in the New York World and was republished in The Journal last Tuesday. fhere are many Republicans in Multnomah county who will not re gard the coming county convention as a very representative body. Un doubtedly the bread and butter bri gade will be well represented but to the great mass f the Republican voters of the county the proceedings are likely to be of little or no Inter est. This convention is about as nec essary as the traditional fifth wheel. Does it require a Forest Grove wreck to induce Harriman to make necessary repairs on his Oregon lines? Is It only through such hor rible accidents that be can be made to understand that his roads must be kept in good condition? His education seems to be purchased at a terrible cost of life and limb. much more honored and respected than tney now are.

It appear, that a systematic effort Is being made In thl. state to attempt to break down the method now In vosrua in Oregon of electing United States senator. ty direct vote or the people through the direct primary lu and Statement No. 1. It would appear that this attack on tne direct primary jaw and Statement No. 1 contained therein la Immnhni an unfortunate time for the parties Who are Interested In making the asuault. .no. trial aim cunviuiiun nr .1 on n hah ex-Unlted States district attorney, and tbe dissemination of the evidence and argument, through all the public prints had certainly brought before the publlo mind In vivid form the true picture of the result, of the former methnri electing: unitea Dtaie. senator, in Oregon. People Will Not Stand for It. From the Stayton. Mall (Rep.) Some of the Republican, of Marlon county are apparently forgetting -that Oregon ha. a Democratic governor who would make a good appearance in the United State, senate, . or perhaps it Is that they have remembered. If their oppo.ltlon to Statement No. 1 1. In the way of an attempt to foi.t an unpopu lar aenator upon the people, they may find - that the people will not stand for the foist, and that some of the seeker, after legislative honor, who ob ject to Statement No. 1 will be left at home., The voters of Oregon are not yet ready, to turn down Statement No. 1, however much the machine politician. may be. A Desirable Change. ' From the Catholic Sentinel. It 1. difficult to understand how any one having the beat Interest, of Oregon at heart could desire to go back to the old method of choosing United State, senator. . The election of Senator. Mulkey and Bourne wa. accomplished with little delay with no attempt at bribery, or even a .thought of such a thing. The legislature wa. able to devote lt. atten tion to matter, of Interest to the state. From every point of view the nomi nation of senator, by the people baa tlclan. who find their occupation, gone because there is no sacx to oe iootea. The talk about the unconstitutionality of the law need disturb no one. Tho validity of senatorial election, under the Drernn method cannot be dues tioned, because the electoral machinery provided by the constitution l. con Hnnn1 in force. Honest reformer, have been trying for veers to -aecure direct election by the people oi united ntatea senators. The old system i Known io m tne oc rmlnn nf ereat and widespread corruo Hon. The neonle of Ore.on have found a way to obviate tne evns oi me oia system. Let us make use of our discovery and vote onlv for those legislative candi date, who will support the choice of the people. - Is Helping Democracy. From the Albany Herald (Rep.) There will be- no peed to vote for any Republican nominee for the legis lature wno pledges to etatement ino. i Any Demooratlc nominee will do as well. Oregonian. The policy the above Journal 1. pur suing, together with the help of the old party "bosses" of the Republican farty,' will go a long way toward giv n. this state a Democratic govern' mentl not necessarily a government by those who call themselves Democrat., but by those who prefer the rule of the common people rather than the yoke of political dictators. People, Not Party. A. R. ShumWay in Milton Eagle, When we elect a representative or senator to the legislature he Is elected by the people- to represent them not by the party to worn ror it, regardless of our wishes. And If we show them by our vote at the June election whom we. the majority of the people, wish for senator, let them not dare violate State ment No. 1, place themselvis superior to the people, whose .representative, thev are. and by their actions declare that the people of Oregon are not qual ified to -AO their own thinking. The Old Way. From the Jacksonville Post Before the adoption of the direct pri mary system the legislature, regardless of the will of the people,, dickered and traded for 40 days and 40 night, for thl. most important office and in the majority of cases finally selected a compromise candidate In the closing minute, of the session. Thl. is plainly not a. it should be, for important legis lation that vitally affected the nnnnln of the estate wa. held up, side-tracked, and bartered for vote, for United State. senator. 1 '.
