Hrhe representatives received their Instructions from 4 J.0"0 voters, : who . were, Indeed, ; "private indivhlual, and It is to just that: i-las We must look for a better jondltion in politics. The Independent Ejects to members being instructed by ""private lndivijr ual. .Then, njne its editor.! who is one of those members; obje 4 to be irug Intruded by private .Individuals, to whom does he look for that Instruc tion that; may e called binding?

The only thing necessary umir -.this origin, ai plan, would be to elect the Legisla tive candidates- " The'posllion of the. Independent Is wholly untenable, because If a man (Oil Id -become a candidate for t. S. Senator only through a nomination by t" State Convention, and if such'notn Intion Is to be -binding" on the can didates for the. Legislature, then there would be no way for any other candt-' date In the anieirty to get on the i ticket. Vhat sort of test would that be? It would simply -be a matter of ability to control a State Convention, andt lie man who- could muster the most : wherewith as a manipulator would be the tn:n who would ""instruct"' the representatives as' to the peoprc's choice for U.

T)ere'l a difference.! It M to the ef fect that where" a State Contention can bind candidates for the Legislature, a subsequent popular vote t Wduld 'ot otlyib' superfluous, but wojild be a farce, as everybody knows. We have declared ourselves In fa vox of a popular vote on Senator, have pro vided for it, nave secured It, and, the Republican members of the Legisla ture could do nothing more suicidal for the party In the future than to decide the Senatorial contest in favor of the politicians aa against "privtte individuals,' because they were I not members of a State Convention. ", i All hail to our "private IndlvIduilsJ i THAT -STUNNING QUESTION.- . The Hilisboro Independent, In; lis eagerness to establish a bolt against the popular vote on Senator, asks this question; u- - -' "Suppone . K. S. Wood had own the only name? on the official bil lot last June, would the -S2.27 votes cast for him bind the R - publican. Legislators, whose duty It , Is to elect a United States Sena tor, to vote for him? t . The , Eugene Register quotes the above and calls It a 'sttnlng ques tion." Such a question could only stun those whose minds have already reached the stupefied condition where the- conscience feels no disposition, to stagger at the proposition to scoff at the. popular vote.' ! Theouestion Implies a condition that dl.i 'not' :.nrf ilrwca rwit If Ik. Stae Convention, had f nominated a Candidate 'for 'U. H. Senator, Governor ,C5eer would not nave been a candidate at all. " There are, more ways than one to nominate a Republican candidate or a democratic candidate for any of fice. If the Republican Convention had made no nomination for CJoviMor. for Instance, the people could have nominated a Republican candidate for that office. This they did in the case of. a United States Senator. , lively one of"the petitions asking for the name of Governor CJeer to be placed on tht- ticket, named him as the Republi can candidate for that office., The State Convention deprived 'he party of a candidate for that offl-e, so the rank and file gave him a "direct nomination by twice the number of names required by" the Australian law, and they nominated a man wh- has inade mote -.Republican; speeches in mere-counties In .the state In an ac ceptable manner : than any other-; Re publican in Oregon. He received more votes for Senator, let it be rementbt-r-ed. than any man has ever received, for Oovernor--exceptlng himelf. Luckily, the pjan of some people ifes turned down; and the name of C. II S. Wood was not the only one on th cf ficlal ballot. The Hilisboro Indeien d nt has an unsupposable case and its' "question Is only "stunning? to those already affected by cerebral atrophy in its incipient form. - - ' , ; NEW YEAR THOUGHTS FOR SA- ' LEM. :.

It is really the. end "of advertising. Over and ovr. again the sages who write advice tell the business man that he must never let up on his! publicity tliat to be effective it must be. continu ous. Why? Simply because the ef fect of each ad, ' evien In general rairi paigns. is a ; limted thing'. Results may come from advertising a year af ter the ad was printed, but there: Is bound to be a time when the ad dies. The only, thing that lives as the result of wl.e advertising, coupled with able, honest merchandising, is reputation the good name. - ! - ' ' - ( It is the most valuable asset that an advertiser can , acquire the only aset that he can ishow for hls expenditure after immediate returns are In. If the appropriation - isn't translated into save reputation it is largely wasted. for the trahitory returns. Reputa tion is the interest on TAibliclty. , It gives a ,basla Toy future' operations. It la the thing: of which much has been nald lately Cumulative effect. Unless publicity ha this cumulative effect it Is aa transitory as a tale that is told.

His opportuni ties to knife certain selectedi nominees by being chairman of Je State Cen tral Committee have not been ' great. He has never been in a position to act the part of Man Friday to a stronger and patronising colleague. ' He baa no great accumulation of money to facili tate or Impede' legislation.

" ''. NEW WW EAT AND i FIELDS. COTTON Among the most remarkable move ments of our time on the part of the 1 rtneipal Industrial and commercial nations of Kurofe a re "their efforts to free f themselves from dependence - on ctjders for their food supplies and the' raw materials for manufacturing. k ay at a writer in the New, York Suit, t'bief among these are wheat and cot ion, and the two countries that' are giving the most attention to the sub ject re England and' Germanr. . For some time India afforded a.re-t-pectable supply of cotton. To increase the revenue the Indian Government put v.n import duty of 5 per cent on man ffactuied Cotton, but the outcry raisr e l in Lancashire brought pressure from ih'e British Government, and a 5 per cent export-duty was imposed on In dian-made Cotton, with disastrous re rults to Sthe Indian totton-mlll owners. many of whom have had to go Into 11- i ' - - nuidatkMn The increase of raw cot tori exports, from India is. therefore, Iiobable." ' . : . The BVItlsh Colonial Office has been turning Its attetjtion to .cotton grow ing in its East'' and .

Since 1S51 the British Political Officer directins the affairs of the Shan stales in northern Burma has Introduc ed the cultivation of wheat Into that region, where the grain walji previous ly unknown The result haa been so satisfactory that the question, of build- to Rangoon Is being discussed, i Turning to Germany, we, find the German Government is giving: serious attention to cotton growing in its West and East African Colonies, irith view to their development, as well-as nav- ing its own supply of raw material for Its home industry- The; Turkish poi lev. of Germanr is mainly jdirected to the obtaining control, through ' Ger man-built railways, of the wheatfields of Asia Minor, whose cultivators. In their turn, would become customers for German goods, v A pot Inconsiderable part of the Immense areaa' of Asiatic Turkey, now lying waste,; Is also j sus ceptible of cotton production whenev er fiscal stability and order are eatab- lisbed over the Country. This, however, depends very, much on the existence of good relations. In respect to that part of the work be tween Germaay and Russia. Of that there seems a better prospect ilxyt for some tlm oast.

''' REED'S WEAKNESS WAS PESSIM ''''' - K- '- ISM. I- . (S. F. Bulletin.) i , An Eastern exchange.- in comment ing upon the frailties of the late Thom as B. Reed, observes that "he was big. but not big enough: brave, but not brave enough ; keen of sight, but not broad. He was essentially a critic and a scoffer. :There is much of truth- In this apparently harsh criticism. Reed wasr a carper, a complainer, a man who looked away from the fragrant' things of life into the black abyss of pessim ism. No! bright prospect shone for him; 'no cloud had. Its silver lining." If th nation! was prosperous Reed's fin ger was up in alarm. If a world peace peemed' assured. It was the precursor of universal .war; If labor and capitar reemed unusually cngenJaV'revollu tlon was at hand. Such was the mind of Reed, withal one of the giant minds 5f his generation, i : ' j- But It was pessimism that weakened Reed. It cripples all men that are cursed with It. Even the poor, sha! lowlfrained egotist, who' pretends psirimlsm In the yppe,' that It may be mistaken for genius. Is not improved by It. And of I lie latter class there se not a few In this wldevworld. They are all demagogues, egotists, creatures who believe their peculiar oddness an indication of character. , "I am SirOraele, And wjen I ope my Hp let no dog bark. Wille that is more : properly the boast., of the self-important, it la not less the boast of the scoffer and pes stnttst. "' '- True, Carlyle raved over the woes of the worl, and Ian Swift and Samuel Johnson and Shelley aw little In life worth livltjg for; but Carlyle's liver was rluggi$b,-Johnson was a bachelor and Shelley a recluse. ; On the other hand, how refreshing the bright flew of life of Tennyson, of Sir Walter! Scott, of Whlltler and of . Longfellow .' The great lights of commerce and Of - literature, whose names Will live ? longest! were not the men Who were ever peering into Impending mis fortune, but rather whose eyes irere fixed upon the cheer fa I side of life, and whose wrds carried the despondent into a haven of hope and joy. The mart who cultivates pessimism, as many small-souled men do. might better never have been born so far as the community in which hV lives Is concerned- The ; few great men who were pessimists by nature, such as Thoa. B. Reed, were infinitely weak ened -by. lt. as our contemporary, very properly observes. J WHAT K1L--3 TRADE.
