BOYCOTTING
THEODORE ROOSEVELT has stirred up another hor
nets' west by refusing to sit at n banquet given in
his honor bj a Chicago club with Senator Lorimer, a mem
ber of the club and an invited guest at the banquet. As
a result, the senator has resigned trom the eim ana ab
ruption threatens it.
Inasmuch as Senator Lorimer has never been convict
ed of a crime, as his aliened bribery has not and probably
cannot be proven, as efforts to convict the u go-between"
have resulted in acquittal, Roosevelt's action seems to
many an unjustifiable breach of good manners. It is the
dictation of a guest to his host and a deliberate insult to
one of his hosts. But it is thoroughly Roosoveltian and
along tho same lines that his speeches telling Great Brit
ain how to govcnvlier colonics, his instructions to women
to bear childreu,4iis reform of the dictionary and other
bits of meddlesomeness, were.
But the motive that inspired Roosevelt's action was a
good one, and will receive popular approval. If legisla
tors who betray their constituencies and senators who
corrupt legislators through purchasing their togas, are
sent to Coventry, and barred from association with their
fellows, it will be the most effective method of punish
ment yet devised, and do more to end the practice than all
the courts of the land.
Men like Clark of Montana, and Lorimer of Illinois,
who are undoubtedly guilty of the offenses charged, even
though cunning enough to escape conviction, should be
made to feel the full measure of their iniquity, and this
can best be done by the refusal of decent people to asso
ciate with them. "When this is universal custom, tho
opposition to popular election of United States senators
will fade away.
A RETURN TO CORRUPTION.
THREE United States senators have been elected by
the people in Oregon. The elections were free from
taint of scandal and corruption. They left the legislatures
with nothing to do but ratify popular choice, and devote
the remainder of their days to looking after the welfare of
the state and their own ioaclities in particular..
How much better this has been than the deadlock ses
sions, than long-drawn-out contests between 'money-bags
or politicians, the scenes recently enacted in Illinois and
other states.
"Whatever may be said of Oregon senators, they rep
resent the people) not like California senators, the South
ern Pacific, or like Washington senators, the Great North
ern, or like the senators- of other states, various special
This admirable condition of affairs in Oregon has been
hrmifrlit. nhmit hv Statement One of the direct primary
law. Do the people of Oregon want to return td the old
svstem, or do thev want to keep the newr?
If a return to the days ot legislative corruption is ue
sired, vote for anti-Statement candidates. If popular elec
tion of senators is wanted, vote for Statement One candidates.
MR. CAMBERS SHOULD WITHDRAW.
IF HE has the success of popular election of United
States senators at heart, Mi Cambers, one of the as
pirants for state senator, will withdraw in favor of Mr.
Von der Hellen. Otherwise, he may draw enough State
ment One support to nominate IMr. Colvig, the anti-Statement
candidate.
Mr. Cambers stands little chance of securing the nom
ination himself, but he is a valuable ally to the machine
forces, and is counted upon to bring them success.
A vote for Cambers, who is admittedly the weakest of
the three candidates, because the least known, will be, un
der the circumstances, worse than a vote thrown away,
for it will materially aid the anti-Statement candidate.

judgment (hut the 1000 statute mak
ing insanity not a defense in crim

This is one of the most important
decisions handed down by the court.
The decision occurs in the case of
stnto vs. Gus Strassborg, charged
with assault in the first degree.
Strassborg shot a man mid under
