EMOTION AND THE BALLOT.

Somewhere once upon a time some
body said something to the effect that
women were too emotional to use the
ballot, leaving the Inference that they
were liable to weep themselves into
Mysteries when the returns showed
their favorites in the also-ran class.
A couple of days ago the Rev. Anna
Howard Shaw, who is somewhat in
terested in the work of the equal fran
chise societies throughout the country.
took notice of this remark and added
to franchise literature her opinions on
the subject
She said some things which at first
glance would appear to be closely al
lied to the truth. For instance. who
would gainsay this:
Il have seen men hug and kiss each
other in an election aftermath. I have
seen them smash another fellows hat
or slap him on the back until his
breath was gone, and yet they say
women are too emotional to vote /
never saw a woman, no matter how
great her excitement take off her bon
net and wave>o or crush in the bonnet
of some other woman or slap another
until she gasped. Women don't KIN NV
anything about emotion 1t is men
who go mad.
They say women should stay at
home and control their husbands
vote" she continued mo woman con-
trolls her husbands vote. If she could
see would be too ashamed of having
married such a man to let anybody
know she controlled him.
Wyoming has had equal franchise
for forty years yet there has only been
one case of fraudulent voting on the
part of women.
"Depraved women will not be made
saints by the ballot: they will sell that
as they sell their souls.''

There may be, and doubtless are,
defects in our system Of government
and it is possible the constitution I'M
der which the United States has risen
to the front rank in the family of ma
lions needs amending, but the idea OF
a centralized form of government, with
the states shorn of their rights to
enact laws, is repugnant to the most
cherished traditions of the country 1t
could not be accomplished save by the
consent of the states themselves or by
another fratircidal war which would
dwarf the conflict between the north
and the south in bitterness and inten-
sity.
Even if the views of Mr.. Pyrne
should be accepted by any considerable
number Of citizens of the United
States, the memory of the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt would pre-
vent any serious attempt to change
the existing order of things for gen.
erations to come

ATTACK UPON THE STATE.

Now comes a former United States
attorney, William Michael Byrne of
New York, with the assertion that
the time is coming when state lines
will be obliterated and all the power
and machinery of government wll be
lodged in federal hands. In the course
OF a lecture on American constitutional
law before the students of the Ford
hap law school, Mr. Byrne outlined
his views on the existing order of
things as follows:
In conserving extensive rights to
the states the constitution protects the
inestimable right of local self-govern-
ment; but this cumbersome and ex-
pensive machinery of state govern
ment is tremendous price to pay for
home rule, which, because of the per-
feet unity of our people, could be OBJ
tanned by system of municipal and
rural administration
The present system of state govern
ment is a menace to our peace and
prosperity. The DANCED to our pros
perity is perceptable to anybody who
will deeply study the growing COM
pleXiey of our interstate laws Ma
tlonal commerce will in time be chain
ed and fettered by the solons of some
forty odd capitals. Our peace is in
no less danger. When we murdered
the subjects of Italy in New Orleans
our federal government was obliged
to confess its impotence in the matter
Anarchy would have held high riot in
Chicago if the patriotic and fearless
Cleveland had not stretched federal
power to sweep aside the inactive gov
ernor of Illinois; and even now a great
war may be provoked with Japan un-
less our countrymen in California nav
heed to President Roosevelt The
power to declare war is taken from
the states by the constitution, but it
leaves them with the power to pro-
woke war in the administration of their
reserved powers. These insufficiencies
in the constitution will receive in
time the thoughtful attention of the
American people and will be solved by
consummate wisdom which at all
times has lowered over the history Of
the United States"

ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE Burqom aster."

w. P. Cullen has made a big revival
of PiXley & Luder's famous musical
comedy success, "The Burgomaster''
and will present it at the Keylor
Grand theater on February 5, with a
large cast, headed by Harry Hermsen
and Ruth White. These two sterling
players are in the roles Of the genial
old Peter Stuyvesant, burgomaster of
New Amsterdam, and Willie, the gay
youth who leads the governor around
New York when he is re-incarnated
The production is an especially hand
some one. The costumes have been
revised and are all new. Especial at
tentfon has been paid by Mr. Cutler
to the voices of the chorus, as we'll as
to the beauty of the feminine portion.
1.-The BurgomaSter" was THE first Of
the PiXley and Luder pieces to gain
popularity, others being 1.-The Prince
of Pilsen," king Dodo," and "The
Grand Mogul." The music is of the
singing and whistling variety. and it
is said that more copies of "The Tale
Of the kangaroo" and 81 Love You
have been sold than of any other songs
brought out in musical comedies.

PORTLAND PUBLICITY

AS an evidence that Portland peo-
ple are more and more interested in
the advancement of the Pacific north
west, the First National bank and
Ladd & Tilton have each notified the
Oregon Development league that their
subscriptions for the year 1903 would
be 5000 per month instead of 800 as
in former years. This same sum is
subscribed by the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company, while tbs
United States National bank has ad
vanced from $50 to 800 per NOR
These are larger subscriptions than
are made by the financial and business
interests of any other city in the
United States.
Twenty one hundred and ninety
pounds of publicity were forwarded
to the east by the Portland CONNER
cial club last week This was in adj
dition to the six tons that went out
two weeks before. The printers will
soon be busy in turning out one mil
lion leaflets advertising the one-way
colOnist rates, and these leaflets will
go out through letters from the boys
and girls attending school, the preach
ers and churches, the banks, business
houses, factories hotels, and the homes
of Portland whose example in this
work should be followed by every COM
munity in Washington. People can
buy their tickets to almost every rail
point in. the state just as cheaply a.
they can to the big cities.

IRON. WALLS.

Looking backward, the yeah 1862
does not seem so far away; there ar
many people now in active life who
recall with vivid recollection the stir
ring events of that year; less than fif-
ty years have interviewed. But last Sat
urday was the anniversary Of the day
in 1862 which marked an epoch in the
civil war and had much to do with
the determination of the result of that
sanguinary contest 1t was on January
80, 1862 that the ironclad Monitor
was launched, the little vessel that
turned the tide of war and entirely
changed the ideas of naval construc-
ton.
There was not much confidence in
the peculiar craft; it's constrnc ton was
an experiment, really a last desperate
resort and SO great was the skepticism
that the news which came later, of the
defeat Of the confederate terror of the
seas by this pigmy fighting boat, was
received incredulously. But the Moni-
tor embodied the right idea; the Scan
dinavian engineer who designed the
vessel lived to receive the honor which
: was his due and to know that he, had
won the respect of those who had rid
iculed him when he was so patiently
and earnestly seeking recognition for
his new idea. In the little more than
forty years that have elapsed since
the Monitor was launched, we have
seen the navies of the world entirely
reconstructed the vessels that were
then regarded as powerful have been
thrown away and in Their stead mighty
vessels built on the Monitor PLAN rep
resent the naval strength of nations.

REGARDING PLEDGES.

In Washington, as we'll as Oregon,
an effort is being made to protect"
candidates from those who would
pledge their would-be legislators to a
certain line of action. y bill has been
introduced making it a misdemeanor
to force man to sign a pledge and
also disqualifying the candidate who
signs the pledge.
Apparently under such law. it
would be illegal for political party
to have a platform, yet seldom does
Il candidate hesitate to state boldly
that he is standing with both feet on
the platform of his party Why, then,
should any candidate hesitate to pledge
himself to certain principles favored
by his constituents? If he pledges
himself he generally believes that
those favoring the principle are in the
majority; if not, he probably thinks
they are in the minority. This is a mat
ter that politics can be trusted to
regulate without legislative interfer-
ence. If any organization, such as a
grange or a labor union or anti saloon
league, insists upon an unreasonable
pledge the public. as a rule. will turn
down those who sign it. If g. large
number of citizens have a fight to
make for certain principle why
should they not pledge those who
would be their representatives
In developed during the Oregon SEN
atorship fight that some people have
an exalted idea of the status of the
legislator. There were those who in

Illegal because thu constitution of the
United States provided that the legis-
1ature should 'elect" the senator In
all of the discussion which grew out
of this muddle. the point was appar

of legislatures hold merely a delegated
power. a power delegated by the peo-
pie of their respective districts 1t is
