Of them is of general significance and appears
radical enough from an Eastern point Of view.
This is the recall which permits the discharge
from Office of an elected official upon petition of
81 per cent of the electors and the casting of a
ma iority of votes for his recall at special cleo
ton. But to a people who vote on eighteen
measures under the referendum and who in

moderate enough device and consistent with the

of this weapon will have some influence in deter

Oregonian" calls the Holy Statement when
they come TO elect a successor to Senator Fulton.

POLITICAL NORALITT.

We observe with interest that some of those
whose motto in uneventful days is justice.
though the heavens fall, are much disquieted
in this time of adversely by the proposition that
every delegate to the Chicago convention whose
title is impregnab BILE shall get his seat. There
are occasions when a compromise which does
violence TO principle is commendabie; but
it is queer contention that wisdom and honor
alike require the national committee to take
away from certain delegates the seats to which
they are securely entitled. even in the opinion
of their antagonists. for the sake of bestowins
them in the interest of harmony upon others
who have no shadow of right to them.
If in any contest the evidence were so contrn-
dictory as 10 leave n reasonable doubt in i'm
partial minds as to the validity of conflicting
credentials there would be sense and proprety
in the demand for division of seats, and thus
far absolutely nothing has occurred to indicate
that such a demand would not he granted But
arbitrarily TO deny just claim in order to spare
the feelings of a chagrined opponent would be
offensive and mischieyous violation of duty
offensive because the motive of expediency
would ne obvious. mischieyous because it
would tend TO perpetuate instead of stopping
the old abuse of scandaous contests for seats
in Republican national conventions

those who do not like certain law To say so
and to agitate for its amendment or repeal bul
that is a very different thing from agita'ihs
against the enforcement of law. The true
course for these citizens of Newark who want
the drinking saloons open on Sundays would pe
to agitate not for the lax enforcement or Vioia
ton of the law, but for It's repeal or amend
ment. Their appeal should be to the Legisia
ture or TO the electorate of the state. TO give
them relief, and not against the county ana city

POPLAR LAWUAHTAG.

The Portland Oregonian' is at hand with

legislation worked out Besides voting on the
various candidates for Office the voters expressed
their views on four constitutional amendments.
on three laws passed at the last session Of the
Legislature. but held in suspense by popular ne
fitiOn until the people should by direct vote ac.
cept or reject them. and on eleven measures Of
fered under the initiative and referendum
eighteen propositions ell told. A book Of 126
pages had been sent 10 all the voters in ad-
vance containing The text of these eighteen meas
;sres and the arguments for and against them.
and the newspapers of the state had discussed
them at length. that the voters were pre-
sumptively prepared 10 express their opinions

TORPEDOES WHICH CAN BE STEERED. |

One of the uses of Hertz waves, made expert
mentally within the last few years, is to control
the movements of a selfpropelled torpedo At
least half dozen inventors have worked out
methods of accomplishing the object. The
power required TO pull ruddec in this direc-
ton or that having been provided within the
missile it is necessary only to supply means to
direct the force. Ether waves, generated at
the distance of several miles, perform that
service easily, under the guidance of an oper-
ator on shore or on convenient boat.
Hardly had the feasibility of the plan been
demonstrated before experts began to realize
that accidental or intentional interference might
prevent its satisfactory execution Wireless
telegraphc messages are frequently made unin-
telligible by the simultaneous dispatch of other
communica tiens in the same field. Equally
confusing results might he expected from a
similar multiplicity of Hertz waves in the vicin-
ity of dirigible torpedo. How to obviate such
mischief is a problem to which Englishman
Mr.. John Gardner, has devoted much study. A
contributor to the current "Cassier's Magazine"
affirms that the attempt proved successful and
tells how the problem solved Those in
terested in the details of Mr. Gardeners inven-
tion are referred to the periodical in which it
is described. For the general reader it is prob
ably enough 10 know that ingenious and
novel application has been made of the svs-
tenn by which fog signals transmitted by
water and are picked up by telephones on a
ship. Mr.. Gardner places inside the shell OF
his torpedo of a submarine boat, n device
which will respond only to note having n
prescribed musical pitch. A larger degree of
protection, he thinks, may be secured by the
of three separate notes In the scale.
The Whitehead torpedo is designed that
after it has been launched, II will maintain the
direction it takes at the start IT Is equipped
with devices which automatically correct any
deviation from this course Hence in order
to secure the desired result-the destruction of
an enemys ship-rt must he properly aimed
and aim is taken by getting the boat from
which IL is discharged in the right position. 1t
would probably he advantage if the course
Of torpedo could he altered after il had
started. especially if IT'S speed could he varied
also. Several ways Of attaining these ends are
now known. Whether Mr.. Gardeners will
