Phono Main 82. TOO DEEP POB THE LAYMAN. WITHOUT PRESUMING to take tho Day bill up on appeal from the su promo court to the newspapers, and with due deference to the learned opinion of Justice Burnett therein, thoro are some things that are rather puzzling to tho lay mind in following the reasoning and en deavoring to reach the conclusions arrived at by the court. If 4e may lie permitted to call attention to some of them, we think the reader will bo as much puzzled as are wo. The opinion holds that tho law did not dopend on any contingency, but went into effect at once, that from the time it was signed by tho govornor, it wan the law. "The election," says the opinion, may have depended on a contingency, but "the law" did not. Now, this is clear enough up to this point, but right here is where tho layman gots into deep wa ter. If it is conceded that the election must be held whether there was any referendum petitions filed or not, the situation is not so badly muddled, but this is not conceded. In fact, tho opinion says that tho election might depend on a contingency, thus clearly intimating that the court thought that if there wore no bills on which the roferendum was Invoked, thon there would be no election. Tho bill says that at or on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1913, there shall be a special election held in all the counties of the state. At this election all bills passed by the legislature on which the rofor endum was called shall be submitted, etc. Now if the law went into effect at once, did it not require that the election must be held whether there was any thing to vote on or about, or notf The construction of language and the con struction of law seems to follow different lines for by the former the election must bo held whilo under tho construction of law, it seems it would not have to be. H may be that the law is not unconstitutional, in fact that matter is Bot tled, for the supreme court has decided it, but if it is common law it docs not seem to be good common sense. The court says, however, that the legislature can pans any law that tho constitution has not prohibited it from passing, and this, it is presumed, would permit it to pass a law for holding an election just 'for the fun of tho thing, and with nothing to voto upon. Of course this is all idln speculation, for the matter is settled, but at thn same time there is an other thane of the question that the supremo court did not pass iiKn, and that is whether any other matters can be submitted at this election, initiativo measures, for instnnce. A suit will be brought in tho near future, probably to day, to decide this feature. , has not only done this but when the people have had a man who stood by them and refused to obey the commands of these dictators, the latter have de liberately put up jobs on these honest men to keep them from being re-elected and have succeeded so often tnat their power has become supreme in control ling elections and the candidate who did not bow down to them and do their wishes was left at home. The result of this is that the Interests have had a strong and faithful fol lowing in congress so strong and so faithful that the wishes of the people were set at naught and the interests got whatever they desired. 80 without resi dence or vote in a congressional district, these big guns financially have elect ed the congressmen from that district, and then caught with the goods, openly confess, and intimate that they did not consider it a crime. They did not stop at electing congressmen, but found the election of sena torstors so much more easy that they cleaned up that field, and made the Uni ted. States senate a representative of the monied interests of the United States, rather than of the people. The direct election of senators will correct this and many of the bright ornaments of the senate will soon be holding down jobs for the companies whom they served while in the senate. It will be inter esting to note just what the dehorned senators will do when they are turned out. The Seattle Times is pretty sore and is a sudden convert to tho recall. It says, Sunday, that heretofore the Times has been opposed to the recall, but since Mayor Cotterill tried to muzzle it, it thinks that is a splendid provision, and says it will try it on what it calls "The infamous mayor." It does make a great deal of difference whose ox is getting gored. However, if the mayor has not done anything else good he has at least made a strong friend for the recall, and that is going some. There is considerable uneasiness in some sections about mad dogs, and al though there has been but two cases in Portland, there has been much talk about them, as though they were a hundred, instead. But while there is proba bly not much real danger, there of course is always some, and this little makes not only the timid afraid, but it would Bend most of us hotfoot to Portland to take the Pasteur treatment if we were bitten by a dog, even though we had no reason to think the dog mad. We have mentioned this because there are many people whose occupation requires them to be more or less exposed to dog bite. This is especially true of those driving delivery wagons. Naturally those so employed, when they have goods for any place walk fast, and if there is u dog around they are apt to cause him to run at them. While they may not be in treat danger, the situation makes them uneaty, naturally, ana they are fti.x'om to have dog owner fitter tic up or muzzle tho dogs until after the hot season is over. This may sound a trifle foolish to you, but would it if you were run at a dozen times a day by a dog that if not mad, is decidedly out of htimorf THE VEEY LATEST GOWN. , -w .HEN BRET 11 space, with lW took a long ' J f today.

We have observed, that is the public has, not the writer, with much won derment and considerable pleasure the modern woman in her heroic struggle to free herself of the heavy burden of clothes. We have noticed the gradual shrinkage of the skirt, until it has reached the stage where it is, like the ver miform appendix, but a rudimentary remnant of something once supposed to have some purpose, but which is now forgotten. We have aympathired with tho brave stniggler for freedom from the tyranny of skirts, as we watched them hobbled in their march for freedom. We have gloried in their spunk and decried their judgment as they discarded one aftor the other, the things, the multitudinous things that once accompanied the voluminous skirts. Now it seems tho limit is about reached In the line of discard, and any change must bo In the shape of addition. The latest is the silhouette skirt. This Is made of a small piece of diaphanous goods, as thin as a politician's promise, and as transparcnts as an argument in favor of the tariff. In fact, it is so thin that the wearer's form is shown In all its sinusoidal beauty, not defi nitely shown, hut at the same time sufficiently outlined for full information to bo obtained, even at a cursory Rlance.

THE ROUND-UP. Tttivtn a 1iAot.tr o!n In tinil affirm in the Blue River section east of Eugene , recently, many large trees were blown down, the stage driver counting 20 in less than a mile. Arthur Oavill, of Portland, holder of many swimming records, swam from in front of tho Gearhart hotel, at I Seaside, through the breakers to the . Moore hotel pier, a distance of Vj I miles, Sunday. A big crowd watched the daring swimmer. David Franklin Houston, secretary of agriculture, is coming to the coast in September, and will spend a couple of weeks in Oregon. Tho insurance companies have fig ured up their losses in tho Sheridan fire, and find the total to bo ll04,!30. - The Interstate Construction Company has accepted tho $200,000 bonds issued by Grants Tass to aid in the construc tion of a railroad from that city to Crescent City, and the work of build ing the road will be begun at once. Coquillo will have a plant for the manufacture of apple butter this fall. Woodburn police report very quiet times and nobody disturbing the peace any more. However, the Independent predicts that in a few weeks a good many lot owners "will have to be jerked up for not cutting the grass and weeds. ' ' Shedd boosters organized a commer cial club, with W. H. McConell, presi dent; L. B. Kent, secretary, and L. St. Johns, treasurer. About 20 members have enrolled. The club will erect an arch over the sidcwnlk leading to the depot with "Shedd, tho Dniry City" on it. WHOM DO THEY REPRESENTS ACCORDING to a recent press dispatch Ferdinand C Hchwodtman, for mer secretary of the National Association of Manufacturers, in discuss ing the Mulluill disclosures, snid: " admit nil of the allegations save one. We paid the expenses of organization iu many congressional dis tricts in the hope of getting men who were faNoralile to our principles. If that is a crime then we are guilty." Unfortunately it is not a crime but It ought to be. All that, it lacks of being a crime is that the legislature neg lected to brand It as such for It is a crime against the rights of the people. The states are divided Into congressional districts for the purpose of giv ing the people of those districts the right to select their own congressman. No cue else can voto In the district, no one has any right to dictate to them whom they shall elect and yet these manufacturers admittedly sent large sums of money into many of those congressional districts in order to "Influence" tho voters and to deprive them of the right to elect their own officers. Those manufacturers not being entitled to vote themselves, tried to purchase votes enough of the irresponsible element to overcome the vote and tho wishes of the people of the district, and to elect men who were friendly to them and in imical to the people whom they were supposed to represent. In other words, though having no voto in a district, they deliberately attempted to elect a man therefrom who would bo their representative, rather than the representa tive of the niter of the district. They not only attempted this, but they ac complished it in so many cases that they had a big representation in congress and the actual voters of the districts had none. This is what Mr. Schwedtman naively confesses and seems to think that there is nothing wrong about it. It LADD & BUSH, Bankers ji T-UM1CTS 1 CHHIsUL iHntlKQ IC8IH188.

If Senator Chamberlain wants to go back tu Washington, and it is presumed that he does, he cannot do it by first going back on his party.

The value of newspaper circulation cannot always be guaged by the yard stick of quantity, any more than a man's hrain can be measured by tho sire of his head. There are many ways to estimato the value of newspaper circulation to ad vertisers, but only one way to PROVE it. The proof is found on the merchants' balance sheet at the end of the year. That is the one true test of returns on any advertising investment. The one time-only special sale adver tisment is seldom satisfactory. An advertiser may, by chance, suc ceed with one-tiino advertising, and this may lead him to the conclusion that this kind of advertising is permanently successful.
