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

the past few months the fashionable gown has covered a
wide range, but it has not covered much of anything else, except per

rather thin and gauzy.
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

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

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

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.
Hut he does not count the cost, and
will never get much further in an ad
vertising way by clinging to the one
time method. Those Influenced by such
methods are not likely to REPEAT
their purchases unless he continues to
tempt them with extravagant price eon
cessions. Nor is a single advertisement a true
test of tho result producing power of
any newspaper.
What an advertiser really wants to
know about a medium is:
