According to a dispatch sent
out from Astoria, Senator Ful
ton has taken the stand tbat he
can beat the direct primary
rvnminatinsr law before the su-
mme court. The defect alleged
by the senator is conflict with
the federal constitution. It is
quite likely that what he said
pertaining to the constitutional
conflict was meant to apply to
the placing of candidates names
on the ballot so as to allow .vot
ers to express their choice for
fT"ll
United States senator. ine
West Side Enterprise regrets
that Senator Fulton assumes an
unfriendly attitude toward the
attempted reform in the matter
of nominating candidates for
state office and selecting a
United States senator. It was
never intended nor claimed for
the law that the choice of
the people as indicated by the
ballots, is legally binding on the
legislature in the selection of an
United States senator. It was
intended as a step toward bring
ing the election closer to the
nnle and avoiding the legisla-
diap-race that almost invari-
0Klv nttends a senatorial elec-
t; The people are thorough
ly out of patience with legisla
tive dead-locks, hold-ups, trades
and dickers that pushes aside
ih mnst iireent legislation to
gain a point for some senatorial
candidate. Senator wiwubum,
in favor of the election of
United States senators by the
people direct, from which it
may be inferred that he en
dorses this step in that direction.
Senator Fulton is young, ener
getic, able and capable of serv
ing Oregon well in the upper
fcm.Kfi of the United states cou
On Tuesday the Telegram
"came through" with a big.
Lewis and Clark edition brim
full of valuable data about Ore
gon. On the page devoted to a
man of Portland and vicinity,
Independence was spelled with
smaller type than any other
town. The charitable view is
that the name is so long as to
require condensation and per
haps the map maker had a de
sign to force the name changed
to'Hop City."

Th( new septic' tank recently
constructed at the State Mute
School ib giving complete satisfac
tion. After visiting it a few days
ago, Governor Chamberlain said;
"It seems that the septic tank will
come into general use in cities.
By this process all solid matters
are consumed and the outflow from
the septio tank is a clear and odor
less liquid I believe these tanks
should be used even where there is
good sewer connections for by this
means the sewer system can be
made to carry a larger amount of
refuse and the stream into which
it is turned will not be so heavily
polluted. In suburban districts
where there are no sewer connec
tions the septic tank will do much
to impiwve sanitary conditions.
I believe the people should in
vestigate th subject and learn the
value of the septic tank."
