Sackett PuMUhtrt - ' - Legislators and Idealism JT1HE Baker Democrat-Herald in editorial comment on the ; X ; legislature moralizes as follows: " The nan who refuses to cell his convictions for mess of " ' J pottage Is the only true servant of the. people. The man who gains temporary popularity by voting for every .appropriation v .. asked by any special group is the worst enemy Ms constituents . and the state at large could possibly hare In the legislature. He ' advances his political prestige at the expense of the people who, elected hlmt by a practice that amounts to bribery because It In- rolres selling or traaing one's vote for a consideration. It is interesting: to note that, the people hare a tendency to ' , get wise .to the fellow -who trades their Interests off and while . he flourishes for -a season his political career usually ends with. ' startling suddenness. - In the-4ag ran 'there Is no substitute for i -character and sincerity, even, in public affairs. The mushroom ' type of legislator who will scratch the back of anybody who will ' scratch his own -gets it In the neck as soon as the people catch . op with him. -The other man who really tries to scire the peo pie is deserving of all the honor, and In the lone ran he usual ly gets iu- ' ':, Now Baker is a long "way from Salem, so it is possibfe for the editor of the Democrat-Herald to dispense these pi ous homilies on government. ' We wish we could share his quiet faith in the triumph of political .virtue and: the final punishment of political shame. But observation of legis lators in two state capitals has convinced us that legis lators have adopted as their first rule; that if a legislator wants "to get anywhere" he will have to play the game.? Principles are fine for copy-book maxims: but we have ob served they acquire a wonderful flexibility in the give and take and scramble of law-making. . ;; . It is not .amiss to quote from a personal letter received by the writer from a friend who this year served his first term in the legislature over at Olympiar . t; r "Of course, I did not come to the legislature with any Ideas that I would find idealistic conditions so I am not be ing shocked; but I am realizing every day, more and more, what is the fundamental difficulty with oat failures in gov ernment. There is one outstanding reason why governments are nofrrun better than they are, and that is, human selfish- ness. ui course tnere is a multitude oi otner siae iactors which contribute but that is outstanding. I have come to the conclusion that to be a good politician and get things for his constituents a person must have an elastic conscience to say the least. Personally, I shall feel very well satisfied as I am going home with a feeling, that I have retained my self respect and stood by my convictions even though I do not bring home the bacon " We hope the good citizens of Baker county will send Editor Mainwaring over to Salem for a session. We believe he will be a man to stand-by his convictions too- If all theL legislators did that it would be splendid for then we would get no new Jaws at all, which might help some. We have no doubt, he .would profit just as our , Washington friend has. To quote again from his letter: J " :: ' " " ' -; "I am enjoying an unusual experience and it is one I wish' every newspaperman in the country could enjoy.

I do know that I am amassing a wealth of information and an insight into pub lic affairs that will be of value to me . ;. ;.. ; - At any rate it takes newspapermen to leaven the lump of a legislature : and keep it in paths of rectitude.
