i tho Orogonlan Jnnunry 23, 1907, "9 ot lonS Burning, no uas nnnuy

ao day following tho election of
itourno and Mulkoy to tho United
tales eonato. Tho caption of tho
dltorlnl was "A Mllostono In His-
lit "Tho virtually unanimous ratifica
tion by tho legislature of tho popular
aoIco of Mr. Mulkoy and Mr. Dourno
or tho Unltod States senators marks
n epoch In tho political history of
'Wogon, It Is not likely thnt tho
Vcccdent thus firmly established will
10 broken hereafter. Tho tlmo of tho
legislature will henceforth bo dovot
d to tho business of tho stato; Its
Jnly concern with tho election of sen
tors will bo to fulfill tho constitu
ionnl form by ratification of an antec
edent popular choice.
Ing the people of Or-jcon to break ui
the poltttcal rings Milch have dom
inated the stato, not nlways to Its
advantage and to tuka boll, political
powor and much of iho machinery
of tho government d'ro.MJv tinder
their own control. Mr. Bourne has
succeeded In making tho people of
Oregon bollovo that he Is tho unwav
ering friend of tho direct primary,
tho referendum and tho popular elec
tion of senators. It was because of
this widely accredited devotion to a
great prlnclplo that Mr. Dourno re
celvcd hla largo majority of the popu
lar vote last Juno.
"Tho voto In the legislature shows
that tho representatives of tho people
hnvo accepted their decision In this
matter without question or quibble.
"In this matter Oregon has shown t Little or nothing has been heard con-
genius for practical achievement corning tho right of the Individual
hlch othor states seem In somo I preofronco or consclonco to ovorrldo
ascs to lack. How to bring about j tho popular choice. Tho mandate of
opular election of .senators with tho ' tho people has been obeyed with sub
nate Itself opposed to iho project ' stantlal unanimity, and with com
as seomed to many statesmen an in- ' mendablo promptitude. This this obe-
pluble puzzle. Oregon found little , dlonce was to prlnclplo and not a
lfflculty In Its solution, though wo i mero matter of personal preference,
ave cut rather than untied the knot. is demonstrated by the fact that
"This achievement Is of fundamen- J many of tho legislators who voted for
1 Importance and tho pelplo of
regon aro willing to bollovo that in
ecompllsLtng it they havo received
Mr. Bourne wero under no pledge
whatever to do so.
"A majority of tho members were,
yal and substantial support from ' of course, pledged to vote for him,
Ir. Jonathan Bourne. His ambition and whatever their legal obligation
tlou of the obligation upon their lion
or; but none of tho holdover sena
tors were under this pledge, whllo
several others had declined to sign
Statement No. 1 or any other docu
ment limiting their choice. Never
the less, these unpledged legislators
havo bowed to tho mandato of tho
peoplo with tho samo ready loyalty
as their follow members.
"Seldom has a body of public men
given a finer demonstration of loyal
ty to American prlnclplo than tho
Oregon legislature gave In ratifying
promptly and decisively tho popular
election of Senators Mulkoy and
Bourne. By doing this thoy havo ac
knowledged tho fundamental truth
upon which our Institutions rest,
namely, that all powor resides ulti
mately In the peoplo, and that when
ever the people choose to oxerclso
this power directly It Is their right to
do so.
"Our legislators havo also ac
knowledged with noblo fidelity to
fact and reason thnt, high as their
duties may be, they aro but tho serv
ants or agents of tho people, and that
the popular mandates oxpressed un
der tho forms of law aro of binding
obligation upon all public officials.
We may therefore say without undue
insistence upon its Importance that
the ratification by the Oregon legisla
ture of tho popular choice of our fix
ators marks an epoch In tho devel
opment of free Institutions."

work In carrying out the various
problems presented for solution. Lit

Two big events occurred In the
camp yesterday the paying off of
the soldiers and the start of tho 90
mlle endurance ride for officers

augurated during his second term to
determine whether officers should
be retired or not.
There was a short sham battle yes

recting tho warfare.
It was rumored among the men
today that real bullets Instead of
soap wads were used by one company
In the sham battle and that tho whis
tle of the bullets through the trees
made the skirmish take on an un
certain aspect. No one was hurt,
however. Rigid Inspection will be
given hero after to see that no ball
cartridges get Into the ammunition

Thoro is no car in America ut i?2500, save tho SPEEDWELL, which
will in like the man who hah driven n ?').00 or $1500 cur admit tint
he has found nt last the fine qualities which ho secured by paying
iho higher price. Tho man who u skilled iu motor lore, who hns driven
tho host curs, will find that we huve not erred or exaggerated when wo
havo said that tho SPEEDWELL represents tho beginning of the end
of pricos higher than $2500. Tho SPEEDWELL appeals to tho iiiuii
who recognizes the difference iu refinement and lack of friction
which ovidouccs itself at oneo in the riding quality.
If you anticipate buying n ear, nrrango for a demonstration.
