A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE AND A LIE While Cox is waxing so virtu ously indignant about senate oli garchies it Is a wonder that he doesn't pause to shed a tear for poor, despot-ridden France. The senate of -that country, in collu sion with; the chamber of depu ties, .actually elected a president last week. Just think of it! The French congress met and selected one of its. members - to preside over the destinies of the French republic. The electors had noth ing at all to say about it. One president sent his resignation j to the senate' giving as his leason "My state ; of health no longer permits me to assume the high functions with which your con- ildence invested me," and another was promptly selected. There was no cavil nor unneces sary delay. The resignation was accepted and. within 4 8 hours. a new president had been named. Cox's demand for a categorical ne cnoice leu upon M. Millerand. yes or no to his questions as he at tne time Premier of France. my opinion, by greatly enlar ging the electoral college." Ever since the coup d'etat un der the second republic, th French people have feared to 3ect a president by universal suf frcse. lest a second man on horseback shall use the army to' re-establish M. conrtitutlonal mon archy. There have leen a num ber of interesting articles in. the French pres3 calling attention to the presidential oligarchy estab lished In this country during the war. They bold that a one-man gov ernment is tyranny. Bryan wants a permanent na tional court, with no power to compel any response to its de cisions. Isn't that exquisitely Bryanesque? frames them is like the lawyer's demand upon the witness for a The power of the senate oligarchy was supreme; but there doesn't like answer to the question "Have seera to have been an' attempt V Chamberlain--Practically speaking there is but one eandi- date for United States Senator in Oregon. i "-! ".There 'are claimants, it "is true. They have filed for the nomination. They are conducting what they call campaigns. They think they are running for Senator. "But their pretensions are lost sight of in the lustre of the service rendered by one Oregon citizen to whoravas committed the solemn responsibility of a senatorship by the people of Ore gon. He' is the Senator who secured passage of some of the weightiest legislation in the history of the republic. It is doubtful if any legislative act, in the measure of the service it rendered in a war crisisranks with the selective draft act. It is without critics and without scandal.

The justice and impartiality of its require ments were so manifest: that the faith of every citizen in the purposes of the national leadership on the great business .then in hand was complete, and in its completeness the whole people became one, united and inseparable. "The result was the mightiest military movement known to history.- It is a measure that soiled one of the greatest problems of America in the war. Its conception and its passage raised an Oregon Senator to a foremost position in the statesmanship of the country. ' . ?.

Wilson administration heads knew the United States would enter the war : And the fact is they knew; it while Mr. Wilson was being re elected on the slogan, "He kept 'us out of war." , Senator Chamberlain had no more to do with the passage at revolution on the- part of the French people. Public opinion seems to agree that the French congress made an excellent se lection. M. Clemenceau, the great wer premier, has expressed the opinion that the choice fell upon the one man in France best fitted for the job. President Millerand has already shown himself to be servile to that congress "oligarchy." He is also under suspicion of seeking to aid the .campaign of Senator Harding for the presidency in this Some times we wonder country in an outlining The essential guarantee of liberty is a division of powers within the govern ment. - Each department should be independent in its own . sphere and should not impinge on the territory of another.

It is wholly at variance with the platform utterances of Cox. After the founding .of the French republic of 1S4S. a general election was held to select si president.

On the liquor question it seems that Cox is trying to carry water on one shoulder and something on the hip. Chief William J.

It is safe to bet that the next president of the United States will know the difference between an em quad and a quoin. The chanc es are he will know all about the great indoor spori of jetfing.
