pREFERs HONOR TO OFFICE.

When the voters of Oregon elected
Republican legislature and at the
same time gave it instructions TO
vote for Governor Chamberlain, a
Democrat, for United States senator,
the Portland OregOnian intimated that
some means of ignoring the instruc-
tiOns might be found by the time the
election was held. The Herald said
then that. no way could be found TO
elect anybody but Chamberlain except
by a breach of faith with the voters
and a deliberate reputation of their
pledge by the legislators.
1t seems that Judge H. NJ. Cake,
who was Mr.. Chamberlain's opponent,
takes the same view as The Herald.
In a letter to the Portland Telegram.
Judge Cake says;
The official count being completed
and Governor Chamberlain having re-
ceived the popular vote for United
States senator, the question has been
raised as TO the duty of the legislators
i'm the premises who have signed
Statement No 1. There is only one
answer-they should live up TO their
obligations and vote for the peoples
choice. Not only is this course neces-
sary to vindicate their integrity as
men. but to maintain the principle of
electing United States senators by the
direct vote of the people.
while it is generally admitted that
United States senators should be
elected by the people, and the consti-
tuition of the United States should be
amended so as TO provide for such
an election. many are opposed TO the
present system. and the obligation in
Volved in Statement No. l. BY many
such there has been a most determined
effort made TO defeat the law by elect
ing an unpledged legislature or rem
dering it odious in the eyes of the peo-
pie by electing a Democratic senator
from a Republican state. but l believe
that such a course was a mistaken
one. and that such efforts will fail.
Furthermore. am firmly con-
state of Oregon will ultimately suffer
defeat unless it fully acquiesces in the
desire of the people 10 participate in
the election of their senators and 70
bind the legislators TO carry out their
win, as expressed in the June cleo
ton"
That is not only good politics. but it
is sound morality. To repudiate the
publicly recorded instructions of the
voters after signing an agreement to
be guided by their wishes, may seem
To the Oregonian a justifiable partisan
expedient; TO any one else the bare
suggestion reads a good deal like a
proposal to nullify the first principles
of popular government and adopt the
theory that the people are not mt TO
govern themselves. Judge Cake evil

AN ASSAY OF TAFT CONTESTS.

Talk about liberality that tends to
enlargement of the heart, how does the
Taft aggregation expect to survive its
generosity with the other candidates
in the settlement of contests? Two
hundred and nineteen seats were in
dispute, involving nineteen states and
territories. OF the 219 seats the Taft
crowd annexed PIG for themselves and
let Foraker have three Mathematic-
ally speaking, the candidates other
than Taft got 1883 per cent of the con-
tested delegates, while the secretary
of war got the other SS.612 per cent, the
figures representing about the proper
ton of justice melted out TO the anti
Taft men.
There may have been occasions
heretofore where the administration
has hogged the votes as completely as
in this case, but the fact is not of
record. Not content with a comforta-
bic working control of the convention,
the Roosevelt Taft combination has
made clean sweep of the job, stolen

followed by assault and battery and
complicated with threats of arrest for
the complainant if he dared report the
matter TO the police. The refund of
L5SS per cent of the stolen goods is
about as kind-hearted as giving a vic

FAILED TO TRACK"

The editorial columns of the morn
ing American" organ failed tc
track" yesterday with its news col
umns, a not unusual occurrence. Dis
cussing the Democratic state conven-
ton. the American" contemporary
said, editorially:
1t was a rather small and spiritless
convention that the Democrats held in
this city yesterday. In fact. its pro-
ceedings were droopy. It lacked en-
thusiasm. The platform
fell like a wet blanket Alto
gether. it was a featureless conven-
ton : ." And more along the same
line.
A sub-head in the news story says:
Was Large Convention" The report
goes on:
The representation from the sew
eral counties was large. every one
being represented except Kane county
There were a number Of
ladies present. the boxes being filled
with members OF the fair sex, and
there were a number among the dele
gates"
The plain truth is that the conven-
ton was both largely attended and en-
thusiastic. No better one has been
held in Utah in years.

ALAS, POOR RUIcKI

United States District Attorney
Ruick of Idaho is district attorney no
longer. A violent attack of the IA
nous Roosevelt square deal" has
overtaken him and his ofice-holdlny
days have come to a sudden close.
OStensibly the cause for Ruick's re-
moval is the failure 10 pay a debt
which was outlawed by the statute OF
limitations, and his lack of harmony
with the department of justice. His
prosecution of Senator Borah in the
timber land fraud cases had nothing
10 do with his dismissal, because the
president himself said long ago that
all offenders would be prosecuted
without fear or favor whether they
were rich or poor, great or small,
prominent or Insignificant
Since the president said this, it is
hardly possible that Ruicll is being
dismissed because he insisted on tax
ing the president literally, but it is a
curious coincidence that Borah's
friends predicted long ago the fate
that has befallen Ruick.
It was. of course. injudicious Of the
district attorney to secure the indict-
ment Of Borah without learning be-
forehand whether or not il would
please the department of justice; and
his insistence on prosecution when the
indictment might have been dismissed
50 easily for want of sufficient evil
dence on which to base further pro-
ceedings was almost a crime.
Commenting on the case at the time
The Herald said Mr.. Ruick was MAX
ing a blunder and would probably sur
fer for it, The only wonder is that
the president has not discovered a rea-
son for his dismissal long before this.
Justice must be done 10 all offenders,
rich or poor. great and small though
the heavens fan. but il must be done
discreetly and with due regard for the
presidential notions Of what cOnsti-
utes justice as between friends.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Democratic convention on Fri
day of last week in the Grand theatre
was i'm some respects the most re-
markable political gathering ever held
in the state of Utah. A party that has
not carried the state since the spring
of 1900. when W. II. King was elected

tirement of b. H. Roberts: party
that has not carried salt Lake county

once in a dozen years or more. held a
convention at which every county save
one was represented by large delega-
tions. 1t was a convention that has
not been surpassed in point of attend
ance by any party gathering in recent
years. And from beginning 10 end
the proceedings were attended by the
greatest enthusiasm.

THE FOLLY OF FRISCO.

While there was nothing in the attempted assassination of Assistant District Attorney Heney that should have prejudiced the case of Ruef, the hysteria in which San Francisco in dulged for two days after that epi- sode gave the attorneys for that arch grafter a most excellent pretext for claiming that the state of the public mind was such that their client could not have a fair tiral. What were those excited mass meetings for? Why did the churches ring on Sun day night with sermons on that incl dent of the court room? Why all this furore unless it was intended to call the righteous to arms against the corrupt who were resorting to assas- sination, to circumvent the law? And who could be so interested in the de- feat of the law as Ruef?
 These assemblages for the condem- nation of the act of a madman was much more likely to inflame public opinion against Ruef than the act it. self had done. It must have been evident to the most stupid that how ever great might be Ruef's reason for wishing the removal of Heney, he would not have chosen such a tool and such a time and place.
 That no crime would horrify him might very easily be believed, but whatever Ruef is, he is not a fool. So much cannot be said of the promoters of those indignation meetings called to express indignation, not against Ruef as is now asserted, but against whom then if not the irresponsible and dead Haas?

NO ROUGH HOUSE" NOW.

The expressed determination oi Delegate Smith to urge statehood with as much earnestness as if he had been reelected is commendable and will go a great ways toward maintaining the hold he has had upon the people of this territory for Sc many years. We hope though that Mir. Smith will not approach the task in the spirit which his late address to the people of Arizona breathed- one of antagonism to Speaker Can non. Senator Beveridge, Senator Dil- lingham, Senator Nelson and others who have hitherto opposed our ad- mission; nor that he will assume that they are still opposed.
 Our hope of statehood at the short session or for that matter at any session within the next three years rests on the belief that their oppo- sition has been withdrawn. And if so, it would be fatal to invite it again.
 Since the gentlemen named by MT. Smith stood between us and state hood many things have happened The president a year ago declared in favor of separate statehood, aban doning what had been a party policy. Later the national convention made single statehood party policy so far as conventions can create definite and unalterable policies.
 MT. Cannon has been heard from indirectly on the subject and we are led to believe that he will offer no opposition to a statehood bill, but on the contrary that he will facilitate its passage through the house. We have reason to rely upon the support of MT. Beveridge and we know that whatever influence the national re- publican organization can exert will be used in our favor.
 All signs are favorable. There is nobody to fight in this statehood bus mess. Beside We could gain no more in a fight now than we have gained in the past. All we have to do is to take advantage of the favorable cir cumstances which have sprung up in the last tewlve months and impress upon congress that we are as desirous of statehood as we are prepared for it.
 We can lose nothing by assuming that those who have been against us before are with us now. If anybody should make a rough house" Arizona would get the worst of it.

Plants of Prev.

Most land animals feed upon plants and most plants feed upon the soil and | the air. But there are a few plants which reverse the order of nature and 1 feed upon animals, at least to a cer- tain extent. They might fairly be call ed plants of prey for, though they do not swoop like eagles or bounce like tigers. they catch live fame and kill, devour and digest it.
 These abnormal plants are common ly called insectivorous but the name carnivorous is more fitting, for some species feed on fishes and mammals in addition to insects and assimilate pieces of meat offered to them.
 At least five hundred species of plants catch insects but many of them appear to make no use of their prey. The plants described below are really carnivorous and require a certain quantity of animal food for perfect health and development, though they can exist without it.
 Most carnivorous plants are natives of bogs and swamps. The sundew family is the largest and most widely distributed. The true sundew CDros- era) includes ninety species of low growing, delicately formed plants with leaves arranged in a rosette at the root. Some are so small that only a keen eye can discover them. while oth- CTS are several feet in height. Forty seven species are natives of Australia and only nine are found north of the equator. Several species grow wild in the United States. They are best cul- tivated in shallow pots filled half with potsherds and half with bog earth and chopped moss. The smallest propor- tion of lime in the soil, even the lime of hard" water used for sprinkling, is injurious and may be fatal to the plant.-From Plants of-Prey, Decem- Der Technical World Magazine

LETTER FROM A FoRTY-NlNER
Could Not Obtain Relief From Ca tarrh Until He Had used-Hyomei.

Here is a simple, interesting and sincere letter from a ruggrd pioneer of '49, who braved the dangers and hardships of the overland trail to California. Surely the sincerity of this letter should strongly appeal to those who desire to escape the bond age in which they are now held by that ruthless and most powerful wrecker of health and happiness: Ca tarrh.

 Dear Sirs-SO1ne years ago I was afflicted with catarrh, and tried number of remedies, but received no relief. I was told by a friend who had been using your Hyomei, and thought I would receive a great bene- fit and perhaps a cure. I purchased an outfit, and before I had used the bottle I noted marked relief.
 l used it for a montH- or so, and thought I was cured, and stopped using it for a year or so. Thought I was getting catarrh again. and start ed using it again, and I keep it in the house and use it every morning once a day, and keep myself clear of catarrh. I consider it the best catarrh medicine that is used. I have often recommended it to my friends. l am S1 years old. I came to Cali fornia in 1S49, and of course am not as vigorous as I was 5s years ago. My address is S41 4th St. Yours truly, w. Mock.
