'IGHTY few citizens of Oregon
want to abandon direct choice
of senator. Mighty few of
them want to go back to the
legislative method with Its dead-
. locks and holdups. When on the
compulsory statement law In the
la6t election the people were given
a chance to vote on It. 69,668 voted
for It and but 21,354 against. Be
fore we had it commercial bodies de
clared for it, public meetings clam
ored for It, granges demanded It, po
litical parties platformed for it, pul
piteers pleaded for It. campaign
spellbinders appealed for It, and all
the people howled for It The de
mand was In one voice, and It was
emphatic.
Experience with It has proven Its
effectives and desirability. Un
molested ith the senatorial ques
tlon, the legislature is orderly 'and
sane. The question with legislators
. Is not, who shall be senator, but
what is the legislation that will best
serve Oregon. The Issue Is, not how
much money can I get for a senato
rial vote, but what is the need of
the state In the way of good laws.
There Is no devouring senatorial is
sue to make confusion worse con
founded, to distract members, to de
moralize proceedings, to arouse riot
ous passion, to make extravagant ap
propriations and Increase taxes.
" Peace reigns and sanity prevails be
cause there is no senator to elect.
Statement 1 is the essence of di
rect choice in Oregon. It is a mere
device and does not to the slightest
degree embody a principle. The re
Bults attained are exactly what they
would be by direct choice through
a constitutional amendment. In
principle and results there is no
more difference between the Oregon
plan and the constitutional amend
ment plan than between two white
peas. The man who is ror one is
for the other, and the man who Is
against Statement 1 is against any
plan of direct choice. The whole
question in each is simply whether
the man who receives the highest
number of the people's votes shall
or shall not be senator.
But it is proposed to stick the
dirk into Oregon's direct choice of
senator. The Oregonlan says edito
rially: "Republicans of Oregon in
tend to repudiate Statement 1. They
intend to suggest assembly or con
vention candidates for the primary,
and will put the knife into each and
,all who declare for Statement 1."
The language is plain. The intent
, 1m perfectly manifest. The purpose
,1s announced, and no citizen, can mis
than In heathen lands. The best
blood on the soil hurries away, to
become automatons, manikins and
slaves In the city, for the sake of
civilized locomotion they choose the
latter rather than to be kings and I a toy balloon
queens In the country. It Is sapping
the best strength of agriculture and
making It the menial Instead of the
master vocation. No state In the
rnlon can so much benefit from an
Intensive agriculture as Oregon, and
no influence can so intensify agricul
ture as the good roads that will give
country young folks social life and
keep them on the farm. It will faro
well with the state the day that the
good roads movement becomes an
active and virile revolution.

with 1.1 44,150 tons, Itsly next with

France next with 807,500 tons. Les
ser amounts were produced In the

Sweden, Spain, Denmark, Roumanla,

There was a considerable decrease
as compared with either of the throe
preceding seasons owing to a de
crease In the amount of sugar in the
beets, due to unusually wet weather.
In Germany the average yield of
beets is about 10 tons per acre,
and of sugar about 3000 pounds,
during a 10 year period.
The estimated cane sugar crop

A
RGUING against the Roosevelt
policy of conservation of nat
ural resources, the Oregonlan
asks:
"Are we to have the use of these
natural resources, or lock them up
and allow an official class to devour
them?" And after some further re
mark! It exclaims: 'Tway with
these notions of theorists, faddists
and doctrinaires."
But who are the "we" that are
to "have the use of these natural
resources?" The railroads, the Wey-
erhauserS, the Guggenhelms and the?
Rockefellers? Nobody objects to
such men, who can invest large
amounts of capital, being given the
privilege of developing these re
sources on such terms as will yield
them large profits, but that they
should acquire absolute ownership,
without any restrictions or condi
tions, and that, too, as they have
invariably done or attempted to do
by unlawful means, ought no longer
to be tolerated. Under conditions
that have obtained heretofore "we,"
the people, got only an indirect and
relatively ihnall benefit from what
ever development the great grabbers
of resources marje. They were un
der no obligation to develop. How
much has the Southern Pacific de
veloped Its holdings of land in Ore
gan during the past 30 years? How
much benefit did "we" get out of
the development of the hundreds of
millions worth of coal lands fraud
ulently acquired by the Union Pa
cific and the Guggenhelms?
Let there be development of re
sources- In the west, certainly, but
let that . development be of such a
nature and so regulated as will be
of benefit to the people, the owners
of these great gifts ot nature, rather
than to a few syndicates of multimillionaires.

Women Pollute Alpine Air,
THAT women visitors to 'Swiss ho

their use of "too many and too

v 1 test complaints that 'tha

A visitor at Davos wrote to a .local
paper stating that ho was a consumptive

fresh air plays such a prominent part,
but that he had not been able to leave
his hotel. Consequently, since his ar

Inquiries among the hotelkeeoers in
Geneva disclosed the fact that he Is not
the only one to complain. Russian, Aus
trian, Herman and Italian ladles are the
worst offenders In this respect. Eng
lish and French women use, for the mpst
part, very delicate perfumes or none at
all.
"The worst of It is," said one hotel-
keeper, "that I am quite helpless. When
people come and complain, what am I to
do? I cannot go and .tell a lady a good
customer that she Is using too much
scent Nol It would be an Impertinence,
and she would probably pack up and
leave at once.
"Her friends, too, would be insulted.
and though they might not go then, I
would look In vain for them to return

Another hotelier gave an Instance.
"A wealthy Bulgarian lady." he said.

The last hotelkeeper was philosophic.
But, yes," he said, with a Gallic shrug
of the shoulders, "they complain. But
what would you? Always there are

to make a brief suggestion. It Is trite
and commonplace, yet worth the while.
The great item that swells the cost

profits on Increased capitalizations. If
the tremendously large Increase In the
volume of capital Is to be sustained at
all it must enter Into the cost of living.
It must directly or Indirectly exact

"The tariff had nothing to do with

Little Me-Too Smoot's small mind is
already made up; It is elosed against
one line of evidence, although no
unprejudiced person can doubt that
the high tariff is one of the causes
of the increased cost of living. But

run perhaps this cheating will bring on
even a greater hell. Remember what a
mob is, how almost Inconceivably pa
tient a man Is when hope is not aban
doned and family love restrains; but
remember also what It means when re
peatedly repressed fury Is given free
play, when hope has been abandoned and
tiie bridges, as It were, burned behind;
when the strongest vibrations of hate
sweep the moderate ad naturally kind
to the wildest excess.
The great question that needs to be
fairly considered, not dodged, is how
much can be safely saddled on the cost
of living, how much Is It safe to ex

becomes too heavy, ajsi It does periodi

capitalization is disclosed and hell may

bluntness.
It is no solution to rail at the rich

Once upon a time oh, that's the way
to begin one of these self-help stories
James Buchanan Brady didn't have any
more money than a hen has teeth. He
was just a small, fat Irish boy, who
had secured a common school educa
tion and given a lawyer a fair trial
while he worked as an office hoy. and
eventually devoted himself to i.ho lej
talent department nf the New To.-k
Central's telegraph service. All that
yjung Mr. Brady had to do was to hike
from department chief to department
chief carrying messages. Now he ls
"Diamond Jim Brady," who considers
himself in mufti when he has less than
14 pounds of diamonds. tastefully
picked out, with a double handful of
rubles and a quart or so of emeralds
ht re and there. When he ls In full
dress he carries a couple of huskies as
a bodyguard and a street sweeper under
heavy bond to catch jthe gems as they
fall from his garments. The old style
of example to a rising generation used
to hurry home to wash xhe dishes for
mamma. The new style to-wit
James Buchanan Brady stopped after
school to confer a few hints from Dub
lin upon his little friends In the form
of black eyes. The old style used to
die in the odor of sanctity about the
time he got old enough to enjoy life.
The new style, if ho ever heard of sanc
tity, would likely order it set in a ring,
being under the impression that It was
a new form of gaud.
. When Diamond Jim goesto the races,
and he goes every afternoon during the
season, the tvack detectives approach
him apologetically.
"Stick unda th' bcttin' shed tuhday,
Mr. Brady," they beg. "Don't go out
on th' lawn. Be a good fella,"
And Mr. Brady asks why.
"Ah, you know," they reply, twisting
basnfully. "Vou git klnda enthusiastic.
Yuh know, and wave yuh mitt, and It
looks like yuh wig-wnggln' the results
acrost thuh fence. Them signal lights
on yuh flng-ers act Just like a hello
graph, yuh know."
If his valet wants to start up In
business, all ho has to do ls to swipe
Mr. Brady's pearl-studded lingerie. On
a sunny day Brady shines like the
Kaiser Wllhelm coming into port on a
clear night with a band playing on the
saloon deck. They say he had a mo
ment of frightful indecision the other
day. He couldn't make up his mind
whether to wear a five carat ruby or
ari eight carat diamond In his tie.
"I like the diamond," he confessed,
"but the ruby seems so quiet and mod
est like that It harmonizes with this
foggy day."
Once Mr. Brady walked Into an up
town brokerage office all peeved up.
He pointed to an Infinitesimal spot on
a wondrous salmon silk vest decked

with two double rows, of diamond but
tons, t
"Got that spot at lunch," he said.
"Now I've got to go home and change."
"Not at all," said the broker. "Stay
right here. I'll give you $1000 for the
cleaning privileges."
.But Brady is eminently able to take
care of himself. Six feet tall, with a
heavy, flushed face, and a neck which
has but one dimension that of thick
ness wide-shouldered anI deep
paunched, he Is tremendously muscular.
He stays up all night, but doesn't drink.
He knows every pretty actress, and
keep? a stable of prizefighters as some
do horses. He likes to start down a.
line of bookmakers with yellow bills
oozing out between his short, fat fin
gers." That's his upper Broadway, side.
Nine o'clock the next morning finds
him at his desk on lower Broadway,
whether he has slept the night before
or not. As the vice president of a
great railway supply house, he has
mad a himself a millionaire aeveaal
times over. Uptown he's a good sport;
downtown he's a cool' hustler.
Yellow for Dark Room.
O ONE wants a gloomy room, but
what to do with such a room is a
problem that has bothered more
than one.
Many a woman has foregone Inside
curtains to allow all the light possible
to come Into the room, but still It looks
reary. It is not so much the light that
one needs as the sunshine, and when this
cannot be had one must make It, or,
rather, get the effect of it.
A room with a northern aspect should
not, of course, be papered in blue or
some such cold color, but rather In rich
warm tones of olive, green, brown, red
or yellow.
If the room gets but little light and
sunshine yellow should be the choice.
Not only should one have yellow on
the walls, but also on the celling for
the sake of the reflection.
A pretty treatment ls te have a light
pumpkin yellow on the walls as far as
the picture molding and a lighter shade
above tlls and on the ceiling. Then yel
low silk sash curtains, pulled back, tend
to make a room sunny.
Brass can make a wonderful differ
ence to a dreary room.
A large Jardiniere with a plant in it
placed in a dark corner will lighten up
most marvelously.
The Importance of brass in a sunless
room cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Mirrors brighten up and so do some
pictures with well polished glasses anil
gilded frames, but these little points are
too seldom taken Into consideration.

It was on March 10, 1827, that James
Gait Issued his first book in Edlnburg.
Previous to his effort, in 1785, Hauy
ha,d experimented with such printing,
but he used the Hlyrian or Slavonic
alphabet, and It was found unsatisfac
tory, not only because It was expen-j
sive, but It required only 365 letters to
cover 50 square, inches or surrace.
Mr, Gait's system was found en
tirely practicable and In 1834 he pub
lished the Gospel of Saint John, the
first book of the Scriptures ever print
ed for the blind. Four years later he
printed for the British and Foreign
Bible society the Gospel of Luke and
the Acts of the Apostles. He used a
modified Roman letter, choosing' the

He finished his task of Issuing the en

Mr. Lucas, of the Bristol institution,
and later Mr. Frere, of London,, devised
a system of printing for the blind,
using stenographic characters. The ar
bitrary point character was Invented by
Charles Barbier, a Frenchman, and ar
ranged in its present form by Louis
Braille, a blind professor at the Insti
tution Nationale of Paris. It consists
of six dots. One or more of these are
placed in various positions, making 62
varieties of form. One great advantage
