THK NEW SENATOR
By tho will of a majority of one in the
leciBlaturoJof Oregon. Chas W.Fulton is
U. S. Smator. Of Mr. Fulton's ability
to fill tho ollico cre-itably there is no
the slightest doubt. Probably ol nil tho
men whoso names were before Ihc legis
1 tnro Mr. Fulton is intellectually test
qualified for the rlecc. He is n'eo a
clean and honorable man. Further,
the fact that ho was not the first chdico
of Portland ia far frohi indicating that
the reat of the state should rot be satis
fled with hia election.
Tho Mail hoped to soo Jllr. Gecr
elected, not becaueo ho ia considered
better qaslHQed fcr tho place than an
other man in Oregon, but because
personal acquaintance had convinced
ua that he was a clean .and honorablu
man ; becauso he had given a good ad
ministration aa governor; becaute tue
Portland bosses and majority of the
machine politicians of the reat of tho
state were against him ; and mainly b.
cauEe, under a law ipcciallr devised
for that purpose, the people named him
as their choice. From tho standpoint of
good government and of one who wonld
, liketoeeothcRepubllcan partystands. A
the representative of good c&vernment,
, this turning down of the law and
. of tho popular will is the worst featuro
of tho whole business. It is bad enough,
and it will riso un to haunt' us; but
the step is taken and cannot be revoked
The new senator ie a good, clean, ab!o
man, noc too closely identified with tho
Portland posh, and be will represent
Oregon in tho upper .house of con.resB
with credit to(himsolf and bis state.
.Tho MAiL(can extend its congratulations
to him and hia friendB without reserva
tion. SENATOR CHAS. W. FULTON.
(Portland Journal, Dem.)
Senator Fulton will grow eyen larger
end broader under the heavy responsl-
bllltles of the office, weighing accurate
, ly and equitably the many and varied
influence which made him Senator.
'. Senator Fulton's euccwa is not bullied
by bad methods, nor by, offensive manip.
ulation, nor by the use of money. His
election was cleanjand gratifyingly free
from the taints of tho unclean and un-
, healthy. From this standpoint, as well
qb otberB, his election Is a credit to Ore-t-on,
and Tho Journal predicts it will be
fruitful of good result in bringing the
t different sections of the state in closer
relationship and sympathy.
(Portland Telegram)
' V Mr. Fulton will make a capable Sena
tor. He is in the primo of life, vigorous,
' active, olertj versed ip law and legisla
tion, a ready debater, r. genial man who
will readily make friends at the National
Capital, and who is devoted to tho in
terests of Oregon, Though living at
tho mouth of the Columbia River in
stead of at Portland, Mr. Fulton baa
'.always been outspoken for the Improve
ttptontof the river above as well as below
',VV'. .,
iMtwiaj aad be is too broad and besides
c
too ambitious a man to show any favor
itism to his own locality as ngalnit this
o ty or other parts of tho state,
(Oregouinn)
Tho now Senator is n mnn of good
nbility and of honorable character, To
his oyon and gonorone nature tho many
lit hi frlendsplpa that bind others to him
uro due. Naturally ho and hii support
ers will regard hia succeis In (caching
the position for whjch ho hna toiled so
long ns a great triumph. Let Tho Ore
gnnlan bespeak kindness and oodwill
toward them wlitlo they indulge tho ju
bilation uatnral to such an occasion,
rhon let it sny further that on their side
a duty lies.
Tho pcoplo of Multnomah, though
they haVo not been favorable to thr
candidacy of Mr. Fulton, nd hn o
caused their oppositon to bo reflected
through the action of their mrmbcrsot
the Legislature, should now neverthe
less permit it to bo recalled to their at
tention that Mr, Fulton has at all times
spoken and written in fnvor of all moas
ures and proposition looking to tin fur
theranceof tho commercial Intc.ostaof
Fortland including plana aad proposals
for improvement of tho river between
Portland and Astoria, and lho Oregon-
ian baa no doubt that Mr. Folton wjll
fully redeem theso pledgee in theSenate,
Don't tako any ono elso's word as to
what tho Coast Mail will or will not
do on any proposition, No one out
side of this office is ia a position to give
you any such assurances. If you have
a favor to ask, como to headquarters.
Wo will treat you .like a gentleman if
you are one.
CONCENTRATE AUTHORITY AND
RESPONSIBILITY
Governor Chamberlain proposes to
make the newly appointed Superintend
ent of the Penitentiary, when he .hall
have taken his place on April I re
sponsible for tho conduct of the institu
tion. He will demand that the .Superin
tendent select his own subordinates,
and that thoy will be under his solo
direction. The official head of -tho in-
fstitutlon will have both the responsibil
ity and the authority. Without the
latter he could not have rightfully the
the former. The Governor will act as
overseer and critic, and when bo has
any fault to find, or when ho desires
explanations to be ma'o, ho will call
upon hia Superintendent. Without
wiahlng to inako compariiona, the
writer hereof desires to commend tho
wisdom and judgement of Governor
Chamberlain in this matter. This gen
eral policy should be adopted for all
the state instiuttions. Perhaps it is
followed now. If it is not In any case
it would be an excellent rule to adopt
and follow. In the main, it will result
in bettor governed institutions. Where
there is division of responsibility and
authority thern is.likely to ho trouble and
friction, Salem Statesman,
Tho above is in accordance with the
best ideas touching the executive branch
of any government or institution. Con
centrate authority in one bead, and
then hold that head responsible. If the
head goes wrong, chop it off and clap
on another, until one ia found that
will fill, the bill.
Tbo making (of laws or ordinances
or rules, and the enforcement of the
same are two entirely distinct branches
of government. In tbe making all
should have a say, but in the enforce
ment all authority should be concen
trated, "In a multitude of counselors
there is wisdom." "Too many cooks
spoil the broth;" both sayings are true.
Tho commander of an army consults
his subordinate officers in laying out
his plans of 'campaign; but when it
comes to .the execution all authority
emanateBifrom him.
In all branches of tho government
this idea is gaining ground, and Gover
nor CJbamberlaUl is' in line with this
latent thought, as well as good common
V
Host,
ONKGOODVEIO
Governor Chamberlain seems per.
welly froo to uso tho voto power wlier
over he thinks it necessary, but It dons
not appear, that tho state is likely to
suffor for Inekol tho tucnauto ho has
killed, so fnr as reported. The change
in the Australian ballot law which ins
worked through both houses, was clear
ly in the Interest of machine politics,
and would crlpplo tho ofllcioncy of tho
law.
It is in the lutcrctt of the dominant
party to hayo everybody votii a strA'ght
ticket, but we can't bo sure that "our"
patty will nUaye remniu in tho saddle.
When the other fellows gut in, and put
public nfhirt on a rottou basis, than the
country's snlynlicn lies in tho inde
pendent voter, who will put Ills crosO
oprcsito tho nauio of our nice clean
candidate, instead of tho ' black-hearted
villian whom hia party has nominated
for the place.
He much uioro likely to do that
unJor tho law as it standsr than when
each party ticket stands by lUolf, with
a suggestive and tempting spot provid
ed in which he may plnco his crass mid
sftvo himtolf the trouble of using his
brains.
j The Oicgoniau's argument, that tho
votor whoia tcoignoraut to mark his
ballot, cr who wants to "toto her
straight," anyway, ahould bo catered to
in tho arrangement o! the ballot, is an
argument against tho wholo Auitrnll-
lan'iyetexn, For such "voting cattle
tho old way was the most convenient, for
they.coold I c lined up, tiavo iho proper
ballot placed in their hands, and all
tbey had to do was to go and drop their
tirkota into the box. But that is hard
ly In accordance with tho present ideas
of ballot reform.
REMEMBER THIS
(Salem Stntcsmam)
By refusing to rcognire the Mays
law in the Legislature in persistently in
toting for a man who has bcrn rejocted
by 'the popular vote, tbe Democrats de
stroyed every cbance they ever had to
appeal to the sympathy of the people.
The Maya law provided that tho namo
of tbe "highest candidate" should be
presented to tbo Legislature. Mr. Wood
recognized this fact and adviied the
Democratic members to so govern
tbernsolvei.
HERMANN FOR CONGRESS
(Salem Journal) '"'
Defeated in 1830 for renomination at
the Albany convention, Hon, Blngor
Hermann, who has been United States
land commissioner at Washington ever
since, returns to contest the nomination
for congress, created by tho untimely
death of Hon, Thoa. U, Touguo.
He arrived at Salem Friday to seo
tho close of the senatorial contest and
remained until Tuoaday, seeing old
friends, staunch Republicans who were
young men with (Hermann, and who
have sto6d by him in all hit struggles
in political life. . ,,
Tuesday he left for Albanyt and will
make thetonr of the district, end try to
round up the convention as tho success
ful nominee. Mr. Hermann's many
friends claim that the south end of tho
district U entitled to the nomination,
on account of tbo senatorship going to
Fulton, This is a geographical claim,
and not baaed on any deal with tho
Fulton peoplo, as Senator Fulton claims
he entered inlo'no combination on con
gressman -from the first district, and it
ia not believed that bo did.
Dinger Hermann has some strong
polnte fit i suofcUdate. .that the other

TRAIN CREW QUITS
Railroad Traffic With tho Coqulllo
Again Crippled
Anitom In yesterday's paper fore
shadowed another tie-up on lho rail
road. Tho tlu-up so (ua as It goes,
was in operation beforo tho paper
reached its readers, tho train cirw
having "severed their o induction" with
tho road Tuesday evening, at tho Into
hour when tho train arrived. Five men
walked out, buinu all of tho old crow
who were at wo:k.
A train crow was made up of tho men
around lho detot jciterdny and Kent
out, bringing over a load of lumber.
Thiroaru two vostels, tho Snlvatnr and
Annio Smalo, lying at tho wharf partlhl
ly loaded, onu with lumber from
Johnson's mill and one from Lyons'.
TIo immediato cause of tho walkout
seems to have been an attumpt to Iny
off Alex Wilson, lho engineer. n a sort
of punishment for scmothlm; ho had
.lone or failed to do. Mr. Wilton quit,
tight there, and tho other men (ol
lowed. It is not a strike. Tho
hoys havo simply quit, and some nlthem
say thi.y would nut tako back tbulr jibs,
at any wages.
It aeeuis that things havo not bci u
entirely sereno ilnco tho partial settle
ment of tic recent strike, and this
last development war to bo uxpecloJ.
Other men will undoubted.'' Lo
i ecured to till tho places of thosu who
havo quit, hut tho general opinion is
that it will bo difficult for tho manage
ment to find men to do their work.
