The Oregon Election.

Oregon's election of yesterday
illustrates how very uncertain polit-
zeal results and party affiliations
are likely TO be this year 1t is only
a few weeks since the primary in
that State resulted in Senator Full
ton being defeated by Henry N.
Cake for the Republican nomination
for the Senate. Now come the re-
turns from the State election, in
which, under the Oregon law, the
voters ballot directly for candidates
for United States Senator, and it
develops that Cake has, in turn,
been defeated at the polls by Gov.
George T. Chamberlain, Democrat.
In 1904 Roosevelt had $4,000 ma
jority in Oregon in a total vote of
considerably less than 100000 for
the State. This year everything has
gone Republican except the Senator
ship The slump which was re-
quired TO give the popular majority
10 Chamberlain is suggestive of the
possibilities of independent voting
elsewhere.
Under the Oregon system Sena-
tors are not elected by the people;
but the people may issue their man
date to the Legislature, directing
whom il shall elect. Candidates for
the Legislature have their choice
between two pledges: one, that they
viii support for Senator whomeyer
receives the popular majority in the
State: the other, that they viii re-
serve the right TO do as they please
in this regard; in other words, that
they will stand as party candidates,
and if elected viii vote for the Sena-
torial choice of their party, whether
ne receive the popular majority or
not.
A r1aiority of the Republican leg
Islative nominees this year are
statement No. /" men; that is,
they are pledged to vote for the
popular choice, whether he be Dem
ocrat or Republican. Governor
Chamberlain has received the popu-
lar majority, and there will thus be
presented the interesting spectacle
of an Overwhelmingly Republican
Legislature choosing a Democratic
Senator.
The Oregon plan has been at
tackled as a cireumvention of the
constitutional requirement that the
Legislature shall choose Senator's;
It is urged that the Legislature is
made merely ministerial body, and
that all discretion in the matter is
taken from it. There has never
been a serious contest 10 determine

must be whisky. and the Attorney
General was instructed to proceed
at law against the manufacturers
on that assumption.
That counsel for the manufae-
turers dilIy-dallied for nearly year
on the theory that they might
agree with the Government upon
statement of facts, and then refused
TO agree upon any such statement.
That the Treasury Department at
first COMPOUNDED the pure food and
drugs board and the Department Of
Justice by accepting the old brands
as a basis for internal revenue rul-
ings, but subsequently got in line
with the other bureaus of the Gov
eminent
That then the manufacturers
adopted the ingenious device of hav-
ing their compounds registered as
whisky" under the trademark law.
All this was, of course, to retain
the privilege of selling as pure
whisky a compound which included
as much as As per cent of sub
stances other than whisky. a little
prune juice, little analyne, great
deal of grain alcohol, which is not
a beverage, and about an equal bulk
Of whisky from a still, had long
been sold as "pura" whisky, and
contesting manufacturers were I'M
willing TO change their standards if
the law could be twisted 10 continue
them. The court now CONSTITUTES the
law so that there can be no future
Goubt. The controversy is fairly
ended. But the long fighting
against honesty, and the array of
influence brought to bear indicate
that in certain fields the practices
of commerce were even more shame
full in America than the muck
rakers" had thought.

Will They Do 1t Quickly?

Each of the four Washington
newspapers has published an appeal
for funds to operate the local play
grounds. The campaign for those
funds has been undertaken by we'll
known business men. That fact is
not only a promise that the money
required viii be obtained, but an
Endorsement of the cause as a prac-
teal and sensible charity which
must impress every other business
man in the city.
Not quite $1,000 is needed in order
that more than 800, 600 opportunities
10 play may be provided for the
children of those very business men
and their neighbors. That these
citizens viii do their part is assured.
The only question now is:
VIII they do it quickly?

CHINESE BOYCOTT
WORRIES JAPANESE
Merchants Ask Emperor TO Relieve
Situation by More COncilia-
tory Measures.
tory Measures.

TOKYO, June 3.-The boycott against
japanese wares by China and Man
churia has reached such a serious stage
that the japanese merchants and manu-
facturers are imploring the govern
ment TO be more cOnciliatory in its
policies toward these countries The
boycott in Manchuria is not looked up
on as threatening as Japan feels that
she can control the trade Of that coUn-
try by force if necessary.
The Chinese situation. however. pres
ents a more discouraging picture. Al
ready the match industry at Kobe and
Osaka has been practically destroyed
by the boycott of China. and other in
dustries are feeling the effect.
The admonition of the Japanese gov
eminent that Japan can easily turn
elsewhere for a market is meeting with
no response and unless conditions are
quickly changed. serious internal dis
orders, It is believed, will result.
