Ing a hand in politics ant have
smasnea some macmnes. hrom tne
Portland morning paper and some
cltlsen of this state the Times has
. learned that the new features of
. governmental machinery In Oregon
the primary law and the initia
tive and referendum "were tricked
:.pon the people of Oregon." The
- Sorrowfully sympathetic Times says
Tthe people were in utter Ignorance
of the rlclous tendency of the new
fangled provisions" and It is sur
prised that the press of the state
did not enlighten the people as to
. the terrible nature of these new
- features. That they were adopted,
' the Los Angeles paper asserts, "was
i the "worst kind of politics and the
worst kind of cltisenship." This ia
"bad, surely, If true, and "the result,"
says the Times, "is that all party
organizations are destroyed and a
mob democracy takes the .place of
representative government." The
misinformation of the Times be
comes grotesque when it goes on to
( say that Oregon Is suffering busi
ness depression on account of these
new laws and that people are afraid
- - to invest here. '
To confute this latter aBBertlon
;., we- need only point to the definite
location here lately of a $4,000,000
packing plant. And real estate
transactions, ' bank clearings, new
- buildings and constant, vigorous
growth completely disprove the
Rimes' statement Portland suffered
f a zar Jess "depression" last rail and
v since than Los Angeles did.
' As for the rest, the people knew
pretty well' what " they were about
when they adopted these new fea
tures, and would adopt them over

- are as Intelligent people as those of
any state. TheVe was no trickery
about, their adoption., . The Republi
can party yielded to irresistible pop
ular pressure.
'. Yes, party organizations are some
what broken up, and a mighty good
thing It is for Oregon. The "poll
tics" of such a movement was bad
for some political bosses, but pretty
i good, thank .you, for the people.
But even far worse than our boss-

AS THE postmaster general's
"parcels post bill seems to be
quite widely misapprehended
yet, especially in the rural dls
trJcts, Its main provisions are again
printed. Curiously, a large propor
tion of the opposition to it comes
from ' the ' country merchants and
other country people, but it is ex
actly these people, if they live along
' rural delivery route, who will get
1 the whole benefit of the proposed
v law. It will not serve city people to
" any appreciable extent, nor country
people who live remote from rural
, delivery routes, but as the rural de
livery system is constantly being ex
tended, the number of people to be
benefited by the parcels post will
increase,.
" 7 Packages from one pound to If
pounds are to bo carried at the rate
of 5 cents for the first and 2 cents
... lor each additional pound. Thus an
"11-pound parcel will cost 25 cents,
rate athply sufficient for the short
, haul, on a rural carrier's wagon.
( Smaller packages are to be carried
at a cent 4or the first two ounces, an
' extra" cent tor the next two, 3 cents
lor .weights between four and eight
ounces, cents between eight and
12. and 6, cents between 12 ounm

tection of the country merchant it is
provided that no parcel shall be ac

of a dealer whose regular place of

-EVIDENTLY Sultter Is not of the
right temperament for a pollce
man. It would seem that this
was pretty well demonstrated
in the Burkhart incident. And per
haps It should have been discovered
without that. The degree of his
crime is to be determined in the
regular way, and so we have nothing
to say as to that. But It Is to be
remembered that the dead man,
though It may be found that his
killing was entirely inexcusable, had
a reputation as a troublesome and
in some respects a bad man. This
may possibly serve as a mitigating
excuse for a policeman who has evi
dently been too handy with his gun.
Possibly the imprisoned police
man is entitled to no sympathy, but
surely his wife and young children
are. His crime, his faults, are not
theirs. In such a relationship the
innocent have to suffer with the
guilty, but a charitable, Christian
community should do what It reason
ably can to alleviate the distress of
the Innocent sufferers. Hence The

The only thing to do safely or In

aa they have been and are. Have
political leaders deluded the people
by sham patriotism and false pre

will. Do the people's representa

represent them? There Is no help
for It, nor any reform of It. Do the
corporations enrich themselves by
plundering the people and to a large
extent run the government? Let
them alone, lest a worse ihlng hap

Do the people essay to make or
unmake a law occasionally to suit
themselves? They should drop such
folly. This Is not -their business.
They can only make a botch of It.
The senate having, become a high
chamber of misrepresentation, seats
being bought at the hands of venal
legislatures, let tfee people forbear

as district attorney Mr. Noel resumed

There Is a tremendous power ln
mother love, and it Is like casting peb
bles at stone walls to say that it is
sometimes overdone. Yet just such In
stances as this demonstrate the fact
that mothers are, after all. fallible.
It is not love alone that causes a
mother to perfotm such feats as that
of the minister's wife there is mingled
with it the pride of believing that no
one- else on earth can do our own work
as we can do it, that we are invaluable,
and a stubbornness of Will that prods
us on to do our Utmost, regardless of
consequences. That mother would have
shown her love more convincingly ir
ginning to call gleefully for the old
nannies. Who would not live in south

"The virtually unanimous ratification by the legislature of the
popular choice of Mr. Mulkey and Mr. Bourne for United States
senators marks an epoch in the political history of Oregon. It is
not likely that the precedent thus firmly established will be broken
hereafter. The time of the legislature will henceforth be devoted to
the business of the state; its only concern with the election of sen
ators will be to fulfill the constitutional form by ratification of an
antecedent popular choice. ...
"Seldom has a body of public men given" a finer demonstration
of loyalty to American principles than, the Oregon legislature gave
in ratifying promptly and decisively the popular election of Senators
Mulkey. , and Journe. -Hy doing this they have acknowledged the
fundamental truth upon which our institutions rest, namely: that all J
power ultimately resides in the people, and that whenever the peo- X
pie choose to exercise this power directly it is their right to do so.
Our legislators have also acknowledged, with .noble fidelity to fact X
and reason, that, high as their duties may be, they are but the serv-
ants and the agents of the people, and lhat the, popular mandates
expressed under the forms of law are of binding obligation upon all i
public officials. We may therefore say without undue insistence Z
upon its importance, that the ratification by. the Oregon legislature
of the popular choice of our senators marks an epoch in the develop- J
ment of free institutions." Oregonian Editorial, January 23, 1907.
