to disregard their personal prefer
ence, stick tv their pledges and elect
the candidate who should be found
to have had the highest popular vote.
The official canvass showed Bourne
to have been elected by about 5000
plurality His election by the elgis-
lature was almost unanimous, the on
ly votes against him being those OF
the few members who had not made
pledges
Bourne enjoys the distinction of
being the first United States senator
elected by the people in a general
eletion.c He is a product of the peo-
pies rule plan adopted in Oregon.
Provisions of Oregon Law.
The constitutional amendment in
Oregon requires that all questions
submitted by initiative petition shall
be submitted direct to the people,
and their vote shall be final. Weak
nesSes have been found in this plan.
These weaknesses were shown prom
inently in the working of the system
ut the elections last summer. Among
these defects are that no provision is
made for the Legislature passing on
measures proposed by petition before
they are submitted to popular vote.
Because of this, a number of meas
ures have been taken to popular vote
which would have been passed by the
Legislature without the necessity for
such action The New Jersey bills
obviate this by proposing that the
legislature shall have a chance to
pass on measures before they are sub
mitted at an election.
Neither is there provision in the
Oregon law, as there is in the New
Jersey bills, for the legislature sub
mitting competing measure, nor
for the three months educational
campaign, with official circulation of
arguments pro and con, provided in

the New Jersey bills. The effect o,
!, this omission of provision for com
peting measures is that the special
interests on one hand and extremists
on the other are able to submit ques-
tions without the voters being given
other choice than to reject or accept
the specific measure proposed
In the general election last sum-
mer there were eleven questions sub
mitted to the voters in Oregon. This
lareg number is mostly accounted for
by the defects in the law above de-
scribed which deprive the legisla-
ture of the chance to pass on meas
ures before submission. Several of
the measures submitted were neces-
sary to the full establishment of the
peoples rule plan.
lust what interest the people of Or
egon are taking in their own affairs
since they have been given direct
vote on questions is shown by the ma.
ture of the questions submitted, and
the vote on each. The comparative
interest taken in different questions
may be estimated by comparison of
the vote on each as compared with
the total vote for governor in the
state, which was 9G,715.

Thousands of people suffering from the
terrible tortures of these diseases imagine
they have some impurity in the blood when,
as matter of fact, the blood has no moro
to do with this class of ailments than the
eyebrows. Skin diseases are wholly con
fined to the epidermis or external skin. md
between the inner and external skins there
are no blood vessels, hence the disease
cannot come from the blood. Barrels Of
blood medicines can have no effect on these
skin eruptions, for such medicines cannot
reach the seat of the trouble. This class
of disease is caused by a germ or parasite
which burrows into the external skin, there
it lives, thrives and multiplies, and the in
flammation they set up causes the awful
itching and burning sensation. Inc v.

piled externally, non-greasy, that penetrates
the pores of the skin, destroys the germs cr
parasites and clears the disease entirely Out

ENGLAND SEEKS
TOBACCO EXPERT
Will Experiment With Plant
in the TranSVaal
Soils.

G. B. Maynadier. of the Bureau of
Soils. Department of Agriculture, has
received a hattering offer to enter the
service of his majesty's government in
the Transvaal, with headquarters at
Pretoria, South Africa.
The Transvaal department of agricul-
ture is about to undertake on an extern
sive scale the cultivation or certain
grades OF tobacco, and selected Mr..
Maynadier to superintend the expert
ments, which will be carried on at vari-
Gus points in British South Africa.
The direction OF this work requires a
knowledge OF both the growing and han
ding OF the crop. selection OF soil suit
able for its cultivation. and a knowledge
OF plant breeding, as It not infrequently
happens that no existing variety of
plant is exactly adapted for profitable
cultivation in a new locality. This re-
cessitates a resource to naturalization IN
order that a variety possessing the de-
sired characteristics and entirely suited
10 the new climatic and soil conditions
may be developed.
Mr.. Maynadier is regarded as an eX-
pert IN this line. and il Is believed that
II he accepts the new position ne will
be able 20 get splendid results from the
new field.
