"HB Oregonlan la right In saying, I ' "Erery other principle of poll , J' tics la now superseded by State ment No. 1,"-. It may, or may not, have spoken the words Ironical : ly, bnt It told the truth. The sin slble way to settle great Questions Is : to take them one at a time. The at . tempt to, determine a dozen of them at once makes contusion, and con fusion is always the means by which ine peopie are ntmuiigged, Tanothe Interests" and the politician given ineir way. we nave , been try ; lng to. ; solve the . tariff --- for a century, and ' are ' farther . from v" solution than - when we began. The railroad problems, the trnst problems, public land prob-! lems and the other multiplied ques tions of public economics are beyond the pale of Immediate and definite settlement. ' , ' Not so with the principle of direct choice of senator In Oregon. It can . be. and is In tha wrr nnvvn n ha. lng settled for all tlmeifthe eleev! torate so desires. For 80 years or more the people have clamored for It, demanded it, pleaded for it. It was aa hopeless of settlement as the rest of the great Issues, until the Re publican party . of. Oregon ,, evolved Btatement No. I, and by a great, up rising of the masses swept It Into use by a flood of. nearly, 57,000 ballots. uney roiled up tor it a great ma jority of more thAn.iS8.000 votes. It Is a Republican measure, voted Into the statutes by Republican ballots. ana us utility was demonstrated in a Republican legislature, when two United States senators' were elected within a few minutes. The uprising was a Republican revolution against the scenes of riot and rebellion, ''t Salem that had brought ruin on the party and shame tq the state and In which as Sen ator Fulton says'Men. of the highest character did things they regretted erer after."' '--.nV'"- t.. This Is why,'!n the. late-primaries, wnererer statement No. 1 was on trial, it swept everything; before it. ana wny, as the Oregonlan - says "Every other principle la politics is now superseded by Statement No. 1 It is a paramount issue because the people realize that it can be definite jy settled now.itbat by settling it nw they can save their right to choose a senator, -and that If they neglect to settle it now when -the advantage is au with them, they will lose their rights and the old regime of riot and rottenness at Salem will be restored. They should, and doubtless will, push it as a pressing issue in the June, election, press it as a nara mount issue In the nekt legislature, fettling it finally and definitely, and unalterably, regardless of other is sues, now that the means of settle ment is actually in their hands.
