T IS to crime for Mr. Scott Vo
have been, or to be a candidate
for senator. It is one of the
merits of our system, and one of
tba boasts of our people, that any
position In the republic is open to
any man. The fact of Mr. Scott':
candidacy for tne office, past or
present, la that It lays any utterance
by Scott's newspaper on the subject
vt tha senatorship under the sus-
. piclon that It may be Influenced by
private and personal motives, rather
than by Interest in the real public
- welfara. It is. but natural that when
aver tha personal Interests of Mr,
. Bcott and the interests of the people
' . of Oregon are In conflict, Mr. Scott
honld select the course best suited
to his own ambition. His bitter op
position In his newspaper to State-
ment No. 1 seems to confirm this
Tlew.
Mr. Scott has denied that ha was
ever a candidate for senator. He
will probably deny that he Is now a
candidate. But it remains a stub
born and fixed fact that Mr. Scott
sought election to the senate at the
session of 1903. His name was
placed In nomination and voted for
by tha legislature as an eleventh-
hour candidate. That Mr. Scott
sought support is proven by the fam
ous telegram he sent Senator Brown
ell. saying: "Now Is the time. If
- jou can help me It will be appre
ciated. On this point there Is no
controversy. The cold black ink of
: tha telegram makes controversy Im
possible
And there are other striking fea
tures of Mr. Scott's candidacy for
tha place that have a most Intimate
bearing on the present situation.
One la the alleged contract with Mr.
Bourne which Mr. Scott declares to
be a fiction, but of which many
others say it is a fact. If it be a
fiction ?'r'. Scott should at once
bring libel proceedings against the
American Magazine, for its state
ments with reference to that con
tract are very damaging to the repu
tation of Mr. Scott. It says he paid
$25,000 for Mr. Bourne's support
the night Mr. Scott's name was voted
on by the legislature. It says he
promised to use the full power of
the Oregonlan and Evening Telegram
to defeat John H. Mitchell and to
elect Mr. Bourne as Mitchell's suc
cessor. It says that Mr. Scott agreed
In this contract that if elected he
would gl J Mr. Bourne a free band
in the distribution of federal pat
ronage l-i Oregon.
It is extremely probable that this
contract, or something resembling
it, was entered Into in behalf of Mr
Bcott. Things like these are char

In publishing last Saturday after
noon, in Its evening edition, the full
text of Senator Fulton's reply to
Mr. Heney. Wo quote again Sena
tor Fulton's statement, made when
he was Informed by wire Saturday
night that the article had been pub
lished in advance of the stipulated
released date:
"I gave The Journal a copy
marked for release Sunday morning.
I gave Harry Brown, the Oregonlan
correspondent, a copy, marked the
same. Those copies were delivered
by me at my apartment at the Port
land apartment house last Sunday
afternoon to be mailed for publica
tion Sunday morning, February 23.
No other copies were given out.
There was absolutely no Justification
for the use of the matter In advance
of the time stipulated, which was
perfectly understood by everyone
concerned."
The brief synopsis of Senator Ful
ton's article which appeared In The
Journal Saturday afternoon was
procured by the United Press repre
sentative at Washington, without
any previous suggestion from this
paper, and was sent to The Journal
over the United Press leased wire.
By a similar display of enterprise
the Oregonlan could have secured
the same synopsis for publication In
Its evening edition.
This Is the fourth instance within
three months in which the Oregonlan
(either in its morning or Its even
ing edition) has deliberately broken
faith by publication of advance mat
ter before the date of release. In
newspaper ethics this is on .a par
with wilful falsehood.

THE INDEPENDENT PARTY
i "pHERE seems no very urgent

.party, because It seems pretty
certain that Mr; 3ryan will be the
nominee of the Democratic party
and will rufl on a platform much the
same In essentials as that promul
gated toy the Independent party.

needed. This Is the first failure of
popular senatorial primary anywhere,
The theory that such a primary would
always be effective Is therefore some
what damaged. A vote by all the peo
ple. It was held, would settle the mat
er absolutely, and that no member of a
earlslature would dare go counter to
the result announced at the polls. But
enough Democrats In the Kentucky leg
slature repudiate the primary to pre
vent the election of Mr. IJeckham.
The people chose Beckham for
senator by a decisive majority. Tb.ero
may be objections to him but they
do not count, after the people had
"voted. But he Is not elected be-
cause a small fraction of the dom-
Inant party's members of tho legis
lature will not vote for him. Now
if all those members had been
bound by a "Statement No. 1," which
the Kentucky law does not contain,
Kentucky would have avoided this
deadlock and all Its scandals and
injury, the people's choice would
have been elected senator- weeks ago
and the principle of electing sena
tors by the people would have been
verified and vindicated. This case
illustrates strongly the practical val
ue of Statement No. 1.
"A vote by all the people" can
"settle the matter absolutely," and
their will can be carried out only
by a positively pledged legislature.
Let the people of Oregon take warn
ing from the Kentucky senatorial
Imbroglio.
AMEND THE BANKING LAW
ir
NDOUBTEDLY the legislature
will be called upon to make
some changes in the state
banking law, passed at the last
session. Recent events have demon
strated that in several .respects the
law is faulty. There is subject for
serious consideration in the sugges
tions made by a reader of Ttoe Jour
nal, who writes as follows:
"I believe the act should be re
pealed, or so much thereof aa per
tains to legalizing the state treasur
er's acts in the selection of state de
positories, which would seem to me
to have the effect of absolving the
state treasurer from all personal lia
bility. This measure was not well
considered and perhaps was enacted
from personal motives and with a
particular end In view. Were there
no law legalizing the selection of
state depositories the treasurer him
self would at least be personally' re
sponsible, and It adds nothing to the
security of the state. In the late un

The supreme court of the United
States has given the Standard Oil
company a hard blow in deciding
that the Elklns law was not repealed
n certain particulars by the Hepburn
law. This was the main legal re-
iance of the Standard Oil, as well
as other rebating corporations, to
avoid any penalty Imposed on them
ln consequence of their persistent
crimes. The decision is besides this
gratifying as indicating that the
highest court in the land does not
always rely chiefly on legal technic
alities, and recognizes the power of
popular opinion.
