OREGON'S TRIUMPH.

The Oregon Legislature yesterday
indicated the whole theory of popular
government when casting aside all
precedent, ignoring the call of I'M
scrupulous party leaders, it elected a
man of political faith opposite to that
of the majority of its members to rep
resent the state in the senate of the
United States.
1t is but an incident that the man
elected was a democrat. Had George
E. Chamberlain been a republican and
the legislature a democrat the case
would not have been different. The
essential part of the performance is
that the people of Oregon have shown
that they are able to rule. That they
have taken the election of United
States senators out of the hands of
political tricllsters, out of the hands of
political parties, and placed this duty
in their own hands.
There We're many who would be-
smirch the name or Oregon. There
were many who were confident that
despite the fact that the majority OF
the members of the Legislature had
pledged themselves to register the peo-
pies win in the matter of the cleo
ton of a United States senator. the
legislature, strongly republican, would
publican. 1t is to the shame of the
Oregon that was that the state is now
gress by a man who sought by every
means known to the artful politician
to have the legislators break their
pledges in order that he might profit
by their dishonor, but it is to the
glory of the Oregon that is. that thi:
man Fulton is about to be retired t.
private life and that after March 4
Mr.. Fulton himself and not the stat,
of Oregon may be held accountable
for his acts.
Governor Chamberlain says that h,
expects to see other states copy th
Oregon plan of electing senators. l
is little too much to hope that man,
of the states will do so at once. II
most of them the political bosses ant
tricksters, the Fultons. if you please
are too strongly entrenched in powe
to make hope for such a reform any
thing but a visionary dream Blu
maybe some day the people of othe
states will learn what Oregon ha
learned

ADVERTISING CHURCH SERVICES

Advertising church services has been
tried, spasmodically, to be sure, but for
some cause or other there seems to be
a sentiment against it. Just why this
should be is not apparent. If advertis-
ing will attract crowds to the theaters
and to the stores, why no use the same
means to attract people to the church
In these days of business competition
and stress the business man who fails
to advertise is not usually a business
man for long. And certainly the
church should be conducted on BUSH
ness lines.
One of the latest examples is from
Barre, Vermont, where Rev. Francis A.
Poole is pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church. Rev. Mr.. Poole is a firm
believer in newspaper advertising and
used it to good effect When he took
charge of the church three years ago,
1t was moribOund organization. Mr..
Poole started with advertisements in
the Sunday morning papers-big ones.
page, when he had the money. and
three or four columns at other times
He took big, black type and told the
people what was going on in the
church, what the sermon would be
ABOUT and who would be there.
AS result says Mr.. Poole "the
congregation has quadrupled in three
years and at meeting of trustees we
decided to enlarge the church build
ing to twice it's present size"
Some pastors and elders who are
wondering why more men do not at
tendchurch might have their wonder
set at rest by judicious investment

RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PEOPLE.

The keynote of the whole public
life of Governor Hughes of New York
has been a keen and lively sense of his
responsibility to the people. This is the
secret of all his power. He has been
able to control legislation and defy po-
litical intrigue and corruption by keepa
ing in close touch with the source of
all power.
Having the confidence of the people
at all times, able to command it's quick
and powerful aid whenever needed, he
has challenged with impunity respect
able wealth consolidated into financial
institutions, corrupt wealth fortified by
alliance with vice and crime. political
organizations supported by every kind
of selfish interest opposed to that of
the people and the sluggish indiffer-
ence of good citizenship of the more
cultivated sort when it is not stung to
action.
1t is undeniable that this theory of
direct responsibility to the people, in
the case of Governor Hughes as in that
Of President Roosevelt, involves some
gathering into his own hands of DOW
ars distributed in our system among
various departments of government
No one recognizes this more frankly
than Governor Hughes, perhaps be-
cause he feels less temptation to abuse
the power than the president We find
him arguing frankly in his last annual
message for extension of the oppoint-
ing power. He said:
Responsibility to the people is the
essential safeguard of free institutions
This does not mean the election of all
or even of great number of admins
tratlVe officers, for undue burdens
upon the electoral machinery would de-
'eat its purpose. But it would seem
to imply that distribution of admins
tratlVe powers should have as its cor
relative the proper Capitalization of
responsibility. 1t may fairly be sait

The context shows that he had more

officials elected by the people than
heads of state departments. This is

as forcing the legislature to pass
proper laws carries it in another.
