BEATING THE CONSTITUTION.

The Oregon experiment of electing
a United States senator by popular
vote worked on it's first application,
apparently. The republican candidate,
Mr.. Bourne, defeated Senator Gearin,
democrat, at the recent election. AS
the majority of the legislature is re-
publican, it will doubtless carry out
the will of the people and elect
Bourne, and the advice of Senator
Gearin to his democratic friends,
commendable in spirit, was in fact
entirely unnecessary.
The election by the legislature is
the only essential thing, however.
when it comes to seating a senator at
Washington. AS long as the federal
constitution remains unchanged, the
senator's must be elected by vote of
the state legislatures, and no other
vote can have force and effect with
congress. Oregon's scheme is all right
for getting around the federal con-
stitution. 1t has all the sanction of
state law, but is really extra-legal,
as no state law has any business regu-
lating the manner of electing a sena-
tor. If the legislature should choose
to elect some other man than Bourne,
there would be no redress for him.
The popular vote just taken would
have no weight with the senate The
Oregon scheme, the practice of sew
eral southern states, and the Mime
sofa action in nominating a senatorial
candidate at the state convention, are
all devices to take power away from
the legislature which has resided there
too long.
1t did not take the nation long to
riddle the dream of a deliberative cleo
toral college for the selection of a
president, but it has taken us lis
years to get around to the point of
multiplying state legislatures power
to choose a senator.

In the dramatization of 1.-THE
Jungle" doubtless the heroine is
thrown into a fit by ptomaine poison
administered in her frugal lunch by
the jealous foreman of the works.
The hero, after enduring fearful hard
ships, at length reaches Washington,
where he obtains an order to invesu-
gate the packing houses, and return
ing with the missing paper, rescueS
the heroine, who is just about to be
put in the pink sausage vat by the
villain.

natives bump up against brick build
ings and other improvements where
they least expect them, rub their eyes,
shake the dust off their clothes and
explode: "It is not so; 1 cannot be-
lieve it," And still the city advances.
The man who has preached: What
is there to keep it up?" What is there
back of it," is continually forced into
his pessimistic future with the cry:
well, that is here, but the project
on foot will never materialize." So
the ug-of-war continues, ever, slow
ly giving more rope to the end of
Progress.
1t might be of interest to review
some Of the causes that have brought
about this reformation and are leeA-
ing to the greater Walla Walla of to-
morrow.
The first great impetus that started
Walla Walla out of the country viii
LACE rut to growth and modern up
tO-dateness was the purchase of the
water system and the installing of the
sewer system. This accomplished,
after some opposition. the Garden
City began to sit up and take notice.
Outsiders saw here the promise of
future and not only that, but de-
sirable home town with kindly climate,
splendid school facilities, handsome
churches, and. now with sanitary con-
ditions bettered, an altogether desir-
able place in which to live. The re-
suit was, therefore, many new faces,
and old-timers were heard to remark:
Gee! l hardly know anybody now-a-
days" The healthy start thus given
improvements have begun to material
ize. The paving of streets, long agi-
has finally become a reality, as far
as the main streets are concerned,
much to the betterment of the city.
Parks have been established and resi-
dents have opened an eye for civic
beauty, and the man who left the
city ten years ago exclaiming "Moss-
back" returning today is electrified
by the startling change for the better.
Perhaps one of the greatest i'm
provements of late days is the in
stalling of gravity water system
that will place the city second to
none for water supply in the west.
The awakening of the Commercial
Club too, will have a mighty in
fluence for good, that, if backed by
property owners as it should be, will
have a more far-reaching effect than
most people suppose.
Lastly, it is pleasing to note that
Walla Walla is to have a handsome
Young Mems Christian Association
building. This will add much to the
moral betterment of the community,
as we'll as adding INTELLECTUALLY.
These, Mr.. Editor, are just a few
of the things that are making. and
will continue to make, Walla Walla
the chief city of the Inland Empfre.

Some objection has been made to the
length of the obituary notices of
Sysonby the great trotting horse,
which died recently. There can hard
ly be any objevtion to printing a good
notice of the life and works of a good
horse. In fact. it is a much better
use of space than would be the de-
of the infamies of some alleged
man about to be hanged for his crime.
