A perverse conclusion.
rjrtHE OREGtfNlAN persists In as-
isertlng that most Republicans
who were opposed' to State
ment No, I voted for Chamber
lain for Benator. It says those with
"Inside Information? know this ; to
be so, and. that the object was to
' 'pass It up' to the legislature where
they hoped to get a result more sat
isfactofy. than the election of either
Cake , or Chamberlain."
Doubtless the Oregonlan knows
of some Republicans who so voted;
possibly among them may be some
who,. think- that" senatorial lightning
might strike .them; but these are
rot principally the Republicans who
helped elect Chamberlain. .There Is
ro evidence and no facts to support
the assertion that It was . mostly
anti-Statement No.? 1 Republicans
who voted for the governor. Such
action would 'have been . unnatural
and contrary to the usual rules,
motives and Impulses that govern
humanity In such cases Compara
tively few voters act . thus crankily
and contrarily. Chamberlain's vote
came from various sources, and was
cast for him for several reasons,
principally along the lines which The
Journal urged In his behalf. There
is no occasion to assume or assert
any other , reason,
- Still - worse mistaken; If possible.
Is the Oregonlan In Its opinion con
cerning Statement No. I, when It
nays: "Few persons think serious
3y of It as even possibly a practical
or practicable thing.' Thus far it Is
a factional weapon merely, and after
a while will cease even to be that."
This is a fatuously, perverted view
of the case. ' The people have been
clamoring for many years for direct
election of senators. Both parties
la Oregon have repeatedly" declared
for it. There is no reason whatever
o doubt that a great majority of
the people ' favor It and mean . to
make It effective. Statement No. 1
is merely the means of doing this.
Why ' then should, the people 'dis
card It and ,. return to machine pol
itics? They will not As to the
fate of factions, they do not care.
It is only a sprinkling of politicians
who care about this , v-' .
' The . late election shows clearly
that the people are for. Statement
No. 1 and Chamberlain was elected:
principally by Statement No. 1 vot
rs. The large majority In favor
of the Statement No' 1 initiative law
proves this conclusively. ' And even
if the law be Judicially void it will
be practically effective. No man will
go to the legislature a second time,
or be elected to any other office, who
floes not obey this law. .
, XEY PEQPLE-MADE IiAWS,
AN ASTONISHING ATTITUDE
HE MORE Senator Fulton's at
. tltude on , th,e,' senatorial situa
tion in. Oregon Is studied, the
more surprising It becomes that
a man occupying, a high place could
publicly take such a position. In
thetiext legislature are 39 Republi
cans who., before the-electlon, and
m most cases before the primaries.
solemnly , and publicly declared to
the . people whose suffrages ' they
solicited that In the event of their
election, they Would vote -for that
man lor senator ; who received the
highest number of votes in the pop-
mar election on June 1. Under
that, positive pledge, with that dis
tinct understanding, they were nom
inated and elected. And lt may be
added that when they : made this
pledge theyjalljknewthatther9-:wa9
a possibility, and even a probability.
that Governor Chamberlain would
receive' such highest vote. But Sen
ator Fulton - would have these men
cast aside that pledge to the people,
as not binding, as something not to
be carried out, as of . no weight or
consequence as against the prefer
ence of .these members for a Re
publican Benator, one of their own
party. This argument of Senator
Fulton's Is at least . Interesting as
disclosing one view, of current po
litical morals. It amounts to this
In order to serve party ends, a man
Is at liberty tq break any and all
promises, however specific and abso
lute, made to the people and by
which he gained office,
Senator , Fulton urges the well
thrashed Bophlstry that a member of
legislature Is bound by his oath
of loyalty to the federal constitution
to exercise his personal and partisan
preference. But does the constitu
tion contemplate that in doing this
a man' shall violate'a positive pledge
to : the people, shall forswear - him
self, shall do the contrary thing to
what he promised to do, shall make
of ' himself a liar and ' a traitor to
the people " who elected blm? And
Is not his real choice, after all, the
people's choice? Did he not make
it so ' when on these terms he ac
cepted nomination and election? He
saldJlast-April, -and on June 1,
that the people's 1 choice was and
r
would ; be ' his' choice. .' By what
authority, . political , or sophistical
does Senator Fulton say that a State
ment No. 1- member of the legisla
ture was, not quite sincere and hon
est In that declaration? By what
right can any one assume that these
members )f tbe-jegiBlature-are not
honest men in politics, and did not
mean what they, said when they
asserted that they sincerely believed
In the election of senators by the
people? ;; Is it anything strange or
contrary to human or divine law
that a man In politics should mean
what he says,: and . cheerfully and
gladly as well as conscientiously do
what he has agreed to do? This
may be - considered' curious In the
political school ; wherein Senator
Fulton, was trained, but Jt does not
seem bo to .the new school that Is
growing up, and it certainly; Is not
unconstitutional for even a politician
to be honest and true to, the, people.
Who ever heard of the constltu
tlonal question, being raised when,
as ;has happened hundreas of times,
members of legislatures nave votea
not only, against their preference
but; against their, conscience, be
cause tney were, in some manner
bribed to do so? . If It be violative
of the constitution for any legislator
to vote for senator against ;hiB per
sonal and.', conscientiou;;.: choice,
against even what he believes tos be
the best Interests of the people,' a
cood many senators would : . never
have beea elected- . Under that rule
there would be no. Piatt, .or. Dick,
or Ilopkinsi or Guggenheim,' or' some
others In the senate. ,
The senator's . argument either
falls short. or goes too far. It won't
do . to assume that the minds and
consciences of members of the legis
lature are answerable solely to party
bosses or leaders. It Is not these
who as a' matter of coarse decide
what a public' servant must do..
. ' And lt members of a legislature
can elect senators tney qon t ;wani,
through bribery or , boss compulsion,
without straining either the const!
tution or their consciences, they cer
tainly can do so to keep their word
to the peoplewhd elected tbeman
to carry out the people's will. ;
vote for Chamberlain If he received
the highest vote, Well, how about
that now?, . Is it etlll maintained
that it is too much of a strain on
an honest man to keep a specific,
deliberate, positive promise?
T predicted ebb of the prohi
bition wave did not put in an ap
pearance in' Oregon .v Monday.;, It
looks more as If 3ackamas,- Marlon
and some other counties would also
go dry next.
' Senator Fulton to the contrary
notwithstanding, ', we believe mem
bers of the legislature, will do as
they agreed to do. '

T
i HE RESULT of the election on
the various measures proposed
it will be, surprising to many and
disappointing to some. The
university? appropriation was fortu
nately sustained though by a smaller
majority than its friends . had re
son to expect. ' But it is unlikely
: that another attempt will be made
to cripple the university. The ar
mory bill was defeated and while
this will be a disappointment to sev
eral towns and many young men, it
Is not clear that the state will suf
fer materially, from the lack of ar
mories. It Is a period of peace. The
"single tax" measure failed, but it
received a f ar larger number i of
votes than any except its most seal
ous champions expected, and enough,
probably, to encourage them to bring
it up again. .The former. grand Jury
system will be restored. - The woman
suffrage amendment has been again
defeated by a great majority, and
while the, measure has Its strong
points, there is no ground for hope
that Oregon will change Its mind
r n this question, at least for a con
ndersbla number of years to come.
Klectlous hereafter will be held on
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November, to correspond with
the national election, Instead of on
the first Monday in June, and state
rXf'ccrs now in office will conse
quently have thfir terms extended a
few months. Hereafter state insti
tutions can be located elsewhere
than at tl.e (state capital, which only
i , '.:";. what h?.s' longbeen done.
l. r .is'iatures be wis?, however,
rot to lae ndvanfage of this change,
, ,,fr; t perhaps to authorize a new
i .-i i- caftnn Oregon, Arpar-j
ently both fish bills have carried
in which case the salmon will have
the best of the situation for awhile,
providing the laws are enforced
Probably neither is a very wise law
nor both . together what is wanted,
but the people took the first oppor
tunity- that presented Itself,, since
the legislature, would not do so, to
protect the -salmon from com nets
and ' seines on the one .'.hand and
wheels on the other.. - What the out
come will be no one can yet fore
tell. 4 A result probably surprising
to many was ;the adoption of the re
call, proportional representation, and
the "corrupt . practices" act. - The
vote 'onjthese measures shows that
the people. Instead of being tired of
the 'initiative and ' referendum, are
ready to advance still farther along
the line of , progressive legislation.
The number , of Judges of . the su
preme court will not be Increased,
the new county of Hood Rlver was
created by a large majority, and
the compulsory pass . law was re
pealed. ? And finally, also by a very
large majority the law was passed
embodying Statement No. . 1 . and
making it compulsoryi. Insofar as a
state law can do so, on members of
the legislature. . ,
These results do not in all cases
correspond with The Journal's Judg-
many voters. Few voters, it may be
presumed, voted Just the same on
all propositions. . In two - years the
majority might vote differently- on
some of them. Yet as a whole the
people have exercised good Judg
ment or at least if they have got
what they wanted the minority must
be satisfied.
A CONFIRMATORY STATEMENT.
S
EVERAL Statement No. 1 Re
publican members-elect of the
legislature have . already flatly
declared that they would keep
their pledge next ,winter and ; vote
for Chamberlain for senator. Such
a declaration would seem to be un
necessary, for it is not to be pre
sumed that any member -will violate
this pledge; yet since their action
next winter has become the subject
of discussion and ? since there are
Republicans who argue that these
members can on one excuse or. an
other act contrary to' their promise
It is well for them to declare them
relves publicly and put the question
at rest Of course this... is optional
with each such member, but a dec
laration on the- part of all these
members that they will keep this
pledge would end the discussion and
make the legislature's action certain.-
In fact; under the circumstances,
such a statement seems by many to
be expected and the . example set by
some in this respect may "well be
followed by all. - -
lain and the other for Cake. Wasco

parent contrarieties might be men
tioned, and it is such uncertainties
that add to the Interest of elections.

they cost little and do much good. It
Is money wisely expended. 'It, benefits
all. These expositions are milestones

v ' Why Is It?
Portland, June 3. To the Editor of
The Journal While visiting Jn Beattle
and having had the pleasure of viewing
the fleet there. I conceived the idea .of
visiting your city at th Una of th
festival and seeing the Rose City at Us
pest On my arrival here, this being
my first Visit to your city, I was at
one struck with the natural beauty of
the country and above an tn entnus
laam shown bv the citizens' of Port
land in trying to make the Rose Fes
tival an event long to oe remerararea.
Rut - In ' tnir wanderlnflrs throueh the
street of the city there was one thing
which annealed to me as being some
what lacking and that was the want of
interest displayed by? the larg aepart
ment stores of your city In contrast to
the smaller and more enthusiastic mer
chants and . citizens. Why is it that
vour department stores are not properly
decorated for - this . grand occasion,
which to me, being an easterner. Is one
of th events -which should certainly
appeal to everyone, whether a citizen
of Portland or a stranger within its
gates. It appears to me as though these
atnrea haI banded together and were
trying to knock the fiesta, or can it be
that tnev are economizing on account
of the financial stringency?
