Or If V -plain, they disclose an opposition to ; the whole primary law and the prln triple of election of senators by the ; people. It says that two years ago ' nobody considered Statement No. 1 f seriously, or regarded It as an es sential or Important part of the prl- mary law. On the contrary, not only did Senator Bourne make his cam paign solely on that issuebut a ma- Jorlty of the legislature was pledged . to abide by Statement No. 1, and It was - because of this that Bourne, who had received a majority of the . popular vote In June, was elected. Ills plurality vote, In April would not have been sufficient, but the , . people's choice in June decided the senatorship, as everybody knows.; "Indeed, if Republicans In the legis Mature are going to vote for the Re publican plurality candidate In the ' primaries, and Democrats for the -Democratic candidate, then the .' June rote for senator Is needless farcical, utterly without any pur , pose whatever. The very fact that the law provides for a vote on sena tor as well as on other offices In ' "June Is proof k positive that the law Intended that vote to be decisive of . the matter. Statement No. 1 there ' lore becomes a pertinent, effective ' ante-election declaration of candl dates for the legislature that they . v. ill carry out the law. Its accent ance ;xr rejection Is ' the test by .. which a candidate's purpose as to putting the law, in force may be de termined by the voters. It Is this ; test that the would-be boss politicians and their Portland organ, are at tempting to evade. ' . Nobody ever supposed, says the : Oregonlan, that -the old method of election of senators would be set aside or changed. This is an as . , tonishlng statement to make, In face " of the fact known to everybody that this is exactly what has been talked of, advocated, insisted on, Intended, desired and determined upon by nearly all voices of the people for years past. The Oregonlan itself has posed for years as the cham- - plea of this change. On the elec tion Of Bourne and Mulkey it con- . gratulated the people on having ef fected the change and said it was a - great step forward in popular gov ernment Not a word till Just re cently about the constitution. Ev- . erybody knows that the senate will -, never adopt' the necessary constitu tional amendment, and we may wait - JO, years to get it in the other way. The. way opened up by the primary , law la the only way to accomplish the very result which the Oregon lan bas long been clamoring for, , perhaps hypocritically, and which a year ago it so warmly and unquali fiedly, commended. It is perfectly constitutional, for the- legislature ' floes .elect, as the constitution pro vides'. It provides, however, through Statement No. 1, that the legislature shall elect the man whom the peo ple have chosen. Thus we get popu r lar election of senators and the con stitution Is not infringed upon or . disregarded. Bourne, asserts the Oregonlan ; owed Ills election ntirely to the fact , that he had received the Republican vote at the primaries. This Is not true. He owed it to. the fact that ?he got a majority of the vote at the 'polls in June.

Very likely; r USES OF THE TOMATO. T WAS long a subject of dis pute whether the tomato is a fruit or a vegetable; it seems a fruit ln the garden but a vegetable in the market. Dlatet ically it occupies a place between the two. It Is acid like a fruit, but at the same time it contains a quan tity of woody or cellulose material rhich should be excluded from the stomach as much as the prohibited grosser vegetables. Nevertheless the tomato contains a high allmen- tive value and its use is especially recommended ln cases of poverty of the blood, on account of the great quantity of iron it contains, a fact recognized by simply cutting the to mato and applying to the cut sur face any of the react! ves of that mineral. As an agreeable and most effective method of administering Iron, it is the medium to be pre ferred to all those artificial nos trums or prescriptions in which it is so often administered, to enrich the blood. Indeed it Is generally agreed among the best educated practitioners that the inorganic prep arations cannot enter Into the com position of the blood, though they may doubtless sometimes be useful s serving to neutralize the acids, which form insoluble salts with the litn of food, thus impeding absorp tion and assimilation. The tomato gives the same result, providing with natural action the amount of iron demanded by the system. These Ideas, resting almost entirely on a theory among some hyglenlsts, may be modified by later discoveries ln the rapid advance of chemistry's development, but the truth remaius that the tomato is a valuable all- mentlve and when properly pre pared, is well received by stomachs not altogether lost. said: "We will vote our Dref- eronoe xor senatorial candidates at primary election, and by this method instruct the legislature as to whom It shall elect Mr. Hourne, the last sen ator, was elected by this method.

T HE politicians of Portland and a few other towns who arc busy trying to construct a new nartv machine will bo murh disappointed1,' we think, if they count on the solid or even general sup port of their program by the rural voters. These politicians seem to be blind to the outspoken Bentiment against their movement throughout the rural districts, and even in the towns also. Very significant, even though these self-constituted leaders may not perceive or acknowledge it, is the action ot many granges through out the state.
