Jfhone Main 82. SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN'S RETURN. Senator Chamberlain is coming back to Oregon in a few days, it having been decided to adjourn congress by the end of the present week. Of course the newspapers which ridiculed the senator for announcing that he would stock to his post until all important pending matters, and especially matters concerning the Northwest, were out of the way, are now attacking him for leaving a few days ahead of the final adjournment. The fact is that Senator Chamberlain stuck to his post until the rivers and har bors bill was passed over the opposition of the Oregonian and Oregon secured more than one-tenth of the total amount carried by the bill, and that he is now with an anti-administration man, who has also gone home, and his vote will count to sustain the president just the same in any matter which may come up in the closing days of the session, if something develops worthy of a roll call and division of the senate. It was the senator's duty to come home at the earliest possible moment and tell the voters of Oregon the truth about the present sassion or congress and the work he has been endeavoring to do foi them, before the people pass a verdict at the polls upon the record he has made. Congressman Hawley, too, should hurry home and render his accounting to his con stituents of the first district, that they may judge from bis own utterances whether his trust has been faithfully discharged. He should be given the same consideration in this respect that Senator Chamberlain is accorded. The voters of Oregon should give their national repre sentatives a hearing and not form hasty conclusions based on the biased reports of their work which comes to the public through a prejudiced and partisan press. ! "WHEN YOU'RE OUT, YOU'RE OUT." : Say what you will about the secretary of the navy, there is something definite and downright about the man and his methods that is bound to be accorded admiration, whether or no his views are accepted in their entirety as Cl There's that matter of the proposed -reinstatement by congress of the officers who were retired from the navy by the "plucking board." Mr. Daniels does not believe in this. He doesn't consider that this would be according the board proper treatment, and he says so, quietly, but with characteristic emphasis. "The board acted strictly in ac cordance with law," says the secretary; "at least there is nothing to show that it did not, and its proceedings hav ing been regular, congress should not overrule the board and abrogate its findings." Regarding the proposition for the reinstatement of five captains who were retired, Mr. Daniels said, "No, sir; they're out," and he intimated that, being out, they might stay out. It was Secretary Daniels who also brought about the abolition of imprisonment for desertion from the navy. rr Ancn'f wont in efflu in thi navv." said the sec- retary, "the navy doesn't want him. Let huu be put out of the navy with a black mark against him that will keep him out." And that's the principle he endeavors to ob serve in the management of his department. "Willing workers are the only workers," says he, and it will have to be admitted bo's just about right. Pope Pius X. has passed away since war was declared in Europe, and King Charles of Rumania and the pope's necretary, Cardinal Ferrata, died Saturday. While noth ing is known as to its correctness, there is a fooling that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria is dead. This ru mor, fooling or whatever it is, was caused by the fact that the emperor a month ago was said to be very sick, and from that time no mention has been made of him. Only once has there boon anything like a reference to him, and that was a statement that the "emperor" had assented to something, and the runlie Francis Joseph was not mentioned. Tim i.'n t,-nci hns niirchasod a lot of cotton in re- trfeTto the "buy-a-bale" movement. 1 his looks all right and is commenuaoie, im sun mhuwio -.. canned goods of that trust with some suspicion, and noses will be in uso when the cans are sampled. Yesterday the early editions of the' Portland Journal 1 and Telegram, which reach here at 4::0 p. m., failed to' carry a full report of the great world series ball game, leaving the score a tie at the end of the tenth inning. The Capital Journal, issued here at 3:130, eave everv tlav of: the game, the official box score and summary of the com- plete game. This is only another of the many instances which shows that Salem people get but one complete aft ernoon paper, and that is the one published at home. It I gives the news hot from the wire or fresh from the streets 1 up to the time of going to press, and no rival in the field ever approaches it in the completeness of its news service.! Two thousand subscribers in the city of Salem alone will i certify to these facts, and more of them are joining the big! ramily or readers every day. It is useless to speculate as to the probable outcome of the European war. All the parties seem determined to make it a "fight to a finish," and what that finish will be no one can say. It is also useless to discuss the merits of the matter or to try just now to lay the blame anywhere, for the simple reason that the evidence has not all been presented. It will be for the historian to decide when the passions have cooled and all sides have been heard. Until it is over, all Americans can do is to alleviate, so far as possible, the hardships and suffering due to the war, and this regardless of nationalities. l . OPEN FORUM VOTE NO ON GEORGE MEASURE. Children Cry for Fletcher's If Queen Isabella had not soaked her jewelry and staked Christopher 422 years ago, Philadelphia would not have tackled Boston yesterday nor would the fans have gone up in the air over a 12-inning game. Also the price of hops would not have troubled the residents of the Wil lamette valley, nor would they have been haranguing the atmosphere over the relative merits of wet and dry coun tries. If hris. could have seen how much worry he was going to cause, the chances are he would have refused to discover the old country. Four thousand persons stood in line at Boston two hours before the opening of the gates at the ball ground. Not even an advertisement of free beans would have drawn a larger crowd. Ticket scalpers made a great cleanup, $2.00 tickets being sold as high as $:0.00, and $:i.00 seats for $50.00. Now Sulzer proposes to run for governor of New York on an independent ticket. Sulzer is bound to keep on running. If he fails as an independent, he can be de pended on to run on a "peace" ticket, or even on a piece of a ticket. Isn't it rather remarkable that the "foreigners" who could spot an American at sight when he was a legitimate subject for individual plunder, cannot now tell him from an Englishman. This, in England, may be put in the list of "war atrocities." The Oregonian and Eugene Guard are trying to prove that Governor West said that R. A. Booth got his money honestly. Well, what if they do prove it haven't the same papers been asserting all through the campaign that the governor is an awful prevaricator? The republicans in congress after fighting the Clayton anti-trust bill bitterly, voted for it when it came to a show down because they knew their constituents wanted it. The bill passed by a vote of 241 to 54.

Oregon City Knterprise. To the Editor: One needs to rend anly n few lines of the meumtre Initiut-' ed by AV. P. George, of Nnlera, to nbol ish the office of state engineer and make it appointive by the State Land Board instead of elective as it is nt preient, to lee that it is n step back ward. Not long ago the " Youths' rompan- I inn " 1, ,,.. t. ! :.,. . ' ... I ptirtiaan attitude, commented editorial ly on the tendency of the government to get nearer the people, n.su mating that it .indicated a high state of civil ization onrt that as nations became more intelligent and progressive the masses of the people would govern more directly, also stating that only u few yenrs ago nearly all LI. W. senators were elected by their state legislatures. Now we elect our V. K senators by popular vote. The Ocorge measure is n direct step in the opposite direction and pro poses To raue rrom tne citurns of Ore gon their elective power und substitute for it the appointive power of the State I. nnd Board. With due respect for the Stnte Laud Board, the father of this mensure cer tainly "had his nerve with him" to put such a proposition to the voters of the stute. The nuthnr evidently has more respect for the Htnte Land Hoard than nil the voters of the state. If I understand the mensure, they propose to remove from the board the only member who possesses any techni cal training, namely, the state engineer. With all the undeveloped resources of our state mid the almost unlimited wa ter power, we need more than ever an engineer at the hcitd of the depart ment. The citizens nre getting tired of this appointive business. The State Board has too miioy big plums" to give awny. While 1 think the Stnte Board havo used their appointive power hon estly and conscientiously, future State Hoards may not he so honest. It gives too much power to three men. the nupointive svstem is wrong unless made under civil service rule. The nppointive system is wrong in fed eral as well as in state appointments. Often we see a man get a postoffice nppointment with a sulurr of .I000. The man appointed often is incompet ent, he secures a deputy who is com petent and qualified, nnd he receives ISUU, ,1ust one-hnir what the "mutt" gets that is ,iust a vote-getter only. Why not eliminate the "mutt!" SIM l'HII.I.Il'S. October 12, 1911.
