I OHEGOX LE.IDS THE II;/> PROPOSED HI(,H SCHOOL D S STRENUOUSLY AS POLITICIANS and political boaiws oppose the direct primary, in some form it seems to be winning out Oregon,with her Statement No. 1. had taken the most advance«! steps of any of the states, until Nebraska adopted "the Oregon plan.” a few weeks ago. Other states will follow in our lead, fro.a time to time, until a majority of our United States senators hold their positions by virtue of the votes of tne people; when an amendment to the Federal constitution will be submitted to the people providing for the election of senators in congress the same as the representatives of that body. When our Federal government was formed, our revolutionary fathers had just emerged from kingcraft The experiment of self government had yet to I m ? made. Tne wonder is that a government so clone to and subservient to the people could be forme«!, at that time. Indeed, we are fortunate that the United States senate was not patterned more like the English Hous«* of Ix>rds, than it is. The English House of Ixirds is comp/S«*«l of aristocrats and hold their offi<-«*a for life. Tne plan adopted by our Revolutionary sires, was slightly more dem««cratic. While the American senator does not hokj hisoffi-e in con- sei] uence of title con fe red, he is elected by our legislatures for the term <»f six years. Elected in this way, the averag«* United States senator feels that he does not owe his selection to the {»eople, but to the legislatures and other influences. Our fathers, evidently, thought that the people could not be quite fully trusted to elect their law makers. There was still a remnant of the awe t understand this propoeitK>n, that there will be no and resp«*ct of kings and aristocrats, which dissenting voices. As we se«> the matter, Scio is Card ut I hanks. dominated somewhat in the form of government paying the cost of building, furniture, etc., while We desire to thank our many friends established.
