the situation -and the future are all
potential suggestions of the signifi
cance of the question of what Is to
be the sext 'two yeara of Portlands
government.
Portland at this time is In almost
hope!es8 apathy on the subject. The
private and ' personal concerns of
most of us outweigh all considera
tions with reference to public mat
ters. We are drifters, and our
drifting is, at this time, a1 most un
fortunate sign. We' are speculating
In real estate and filled with dreams
of riches to be won in spite of any
handicap in matters governmental.
We are so wrapped , up in private
matters that we refuse to do a citi
zen's duty In matters of public mo
ment. We are following that course
of unconcern-that gives' the pollti

Three months of a legislature, one

the rest of the time given up to sen

Illinois, but it is the product of a
system conducted by politicians.
Legislation is aborted, the state's
good repute blighted and public af
fairs demoralized because, one set of
' bosses want one man elected sena
tor and a different set another. It
is the terrible penalty, a people has
to pay for a rotten political system,

for a return to , exactly such, a ' sys-
tem has -been ; taken. A city of a

upon her government for the next
two years, Is invited to go back into
the old bosB-rldden saturnalia of

emerged. Such is Portland, and. such
the .menace wlth which she Is con
fronted. Can she afford to pay th
price!

A Springfield' dispatch says :
"All signs indicate that the legis

unless the senatorial deadlock

come with no action on many lm

have vanished, with nothing to show

ture of the Oregon law. It may be
said that Hopkins, who won out In
the popular election, is not a fit man.
He is not r be la exceedingly unfit,
not from lack of ability but on ac
count of his corporation alignment;
but he is as good aa the people of
Illinois, who gave him a plurality,
deserve. There are plenty of men
In that state like Brtstow or Cum
mins or Shivelyr Chamberlain, men
who would really represent and serve
the people, and It la the people's
business, nnder the right sort of a
primary law, to bring out such a
man, make him their choice, and
compel the legislature to elect him
promptly, on the first ballot, so that
other business can then be attended
to. But the first act in thla drama
must be the smashing of both party
and personal machines. Oregon has
demonstrated that they are not only
