CURRENT COMMENT.
THE QUAY CASE.
philadelphia Press. }

As was foroibly said by Ssnator Turley
and IL is part OF the reoord-there Is
not a single instance in seventy five
years where q senator has been admitted
under an appointment of the state ex-
ecutive after the Legislature had an op-
portunity to elect. The precedent appli-
cable to the Quay caes is still stronger,
for never in the history of the govern
ment has candidate been seated when
the vacancy occurred during a session of
the Legislature. These facts were per-
fectly well known to Mr.. Quay and to his
governor, who hurried to sppoint him
as soon as the Legislature adjourned,
though that body was in sssE ion for near.
" six weeks after the vacancy occurred.
All knew that every legal aud constitu-
tiopal precedent declared by the Senate
was against the Quay claim, and that Ii
would be uselsss to appeal for admission
II the case were TO be teTmined on legal
and constitutional grounds alone. But
MI. Q lay. whose politics are not man
aged on legal and constitutional grounds,
concluded there might be q chance to beg
and threaten his way into the Senate. He
had suoh depraved estimate of certain
senatorial character as to assume that
personal appeal aud the pressure Of Ger
tain trust and corporation influence could
induce change of attitude on the part
OF enough senators to upset the precedent
and STOW that it 10 no longer necessary
to take legal and constitutional grounds
into account In the consideration Of these
cases In the future Whether he Is to sue
coed In this and the Senate L. to overturn
Its uDbroken precedent and do what has
never yet hesu done since the government
Was established is yet to be determined.
Should MIR. Quay be admitted 1t will De
upon personal grounds purely. That will
but open the doors to other such cases.
II will not matter how much violence
may be done to state and federal law In
making an appointment, II q claimant
can reg and threaten with the necessary
adroitness he will have hopes. All he
nsed do is to deadlock the Legislature aud
own the governor.

HOW WOMEN SHOULD RIDE TIL
BIKE.

One Of tbs first requisites, whether the
ton. Riding for speed subveits the very
end Of the exerciss-it Is like rowing CT
running or doing anything else for
speed, 1t finally conquers the coDqusror
and the most siokening, narrowing
sight Is the continuous RAGS. The asBu-
citation of wheelmen should do all in
their power TO suppress these public ex-
| hibiti0ns Of human idtocy.
Another essential, especially for wom-
en-, Is an appropriate dress, and there Is
20 law against gentleman also being
appropriately dressed. / never could I'M
derstand why it was necessary that a
man should wear the garb of n circus
clown In order to ride q wheel. In the
| past year or two the women have come
| nobly to the rescue In the matter OF gen
teal dress. The short hair, the bloomeI,
and the chewing gum have well-nigh
length, medium width gown Is no him
derance, and has the further advantage
and economy Of being q good rAiny-day
gown for walking.
Another essential is to learn how 30
ride. Many are riding without this
knowledge. There are few mechanical
principles to be observed. One IL TO have
the gearing so arranged as to have the
pedal on a level with tina foot when the
| foot Is extended.
Another IL to have the saddle SO placed
ss to bring the weight of the body d.
reotly over the pedal when the latter Is
at Its 10 west point.
Still another is to lower the hands, bar
sufiioieE thy TO slow the body to bend for
ward slightly from tie hips-not stoop-
ing from the shoulders, thereby comprer :
sing the lungs. Nearly all beginners
lend the spine back ward from the hips.
AS a rule, young children, II ths gearing
lie correct, take the nora al position.
Finally, the rider should eit az IN a
chair, upon the bones or tuberositiea of
| the Pelvis, and should, on no account, al
low the weight OF the body TO rest upon
the tissues situated between these bony
prom ineuces Indeed, the danger of ssrl-
| Gus injury resulting to ohiloren and
adults from riding . saddle constructed

oiples Is so great t1at it Is always wise
to refer the saddle question to compe-

The verdict Of the court Of inquiry into
The loss Of the CALIFORNIA; apportions the
blame between the master Of the ship and
the pilot. The pilot IL criticized for not
notifying the master that he did NOE In
tend taking the ship ont to the usual point
and for leaving her where be die, while
the captain is charged with an error In
Judgment In not making sufficient allow
snce for the effect OF the tide and wind
upon bis ship. The testimony seems to
fully bear out the verdict. There oan be
no doubt that the ship was left In bad
position, though we do not for a moment
believe that the pilot realized it ct the
time. Accustomed himself to steer ships
through that channel at all times Of day
and night he did not fully appreciate the
difficulties and dangers Of n mans doing
1t who was much less familiar with the
course than he. After the pilot left the
captain seems TO have been fully alive to
the difficulties and dangers Of HIS posi-
tiop, and sailed his ship very cautiously,
going at half speed, and ordering sharp
lookout in every direction, but unfortu-
Dately he neglected to take sufficient 40
count Ct the force OF the wind and tide In
settling his ship TO the northwest while
she was stopped. The course he steered
would undoubtedly have carried him out
all right II he had been where he thought
he was when he started to get his ship
underway after the pilot left. The CON-
duct of the captain and all the crew
after the ship struck was worthy
of all praise, and the court wsrmy com
meuds 1t.

The election OF MIR. John j. Frye IL
ward nine yesterday is very gratifying,
not only because 1t insures to the Board
a competent and experienced member,
but also because It marks the defeat OF an
attempt to punish a man for what were
oreditable acts. Democratic opposition
was expected, and was Legitimate
enough, but the Republican opposition
was not legitimate. and was based on
any thing but creditable motives. 1t al.
ways affords US great pleasure to see a
man, whom 1t Is sought to punish for
having the courage Of his convictions,
win q victory, even though there may be
room for doubt as to the soundness Of
those convictions. But In this case there
vas no room for doubt on that point.
Mr.. Frye's votes that made trouble fcr
him were not only courageous but they
wera right also.

Discussing the joint city council oom
mtttee's report on taxation, the Portland
Press suggests that one thing to do will
be "to elect assessors who will have the
courage and Independence TO stand up
against pressure. and that sit will help
them very mach to stand mp against the
pressure Of particular interests to make
them directly responsible to the people. -
1t strikes US that this lie q timely suggss-
ton, but In order to carry 10 out an
amendment Of the city schartsr would be
necessary. AS that patched and anti
quated document stands the election Of
assessors IL vested In the city council
Portland Advertiser.
This Is true. Assessors cannot be- elect
ed by the people without change Of the
charter. And for this reason with many
othsrs the charter ought 20 be changed.
Nothing Is more absurd than Alternating
to manage city affairs In 1900 on exactly
the same lines as in 1910. Yet when
Mayor Baxter attempted had d
new charter prepared and passed by
the legislature he met with fatal opposi.
zion among the people. Nevertheless,
another attempt ought to be made, and
We hope will be made when tbs next leg
islAture meets, to give Portland what she
ought to have-a charter in line with
modern improvements in municipal gov :
eminent. That . city as progressive ~
ours In most things, should still be try.
ing TO manage its municipal affairs I'M
der q charter made when the city was q
