Our Way the Best.
(East OrePonian.l

Illinois is furnishing a splendid
object lesson Of the results of elect
ing United States senators by legis-
latures. One after another members
of the legislature that elected Lori
mer are pleading guilty of having
been bribed into voting for him.
Lorimer's legitimate majority is fast
melting away and indications are
that he will have to resign his seat
in the senate.
How is that for a spectacle; a
United States senator elected by
votes purchased at so much per
head. The senate is the upper house,
of congress. It is supposed to be a
digniied and awe-inspiring body, a
check upon the lower house. Yet
senator from one of the principal
states of the union owes his seat to
criminal work on the part of him
self or his political henchmen. How
many United States senators have
been elected by the votes of men
who we're bribed but have not
'squealed?" How many senators
have been elected through indirect
bribery in the form of political
promises? 1t would be shorter work
to go through the senate chamber
and pick out those who were elected
upon their merits through honest
methods.
Now frankly, does not this Illinois
spectacle make you appreciate Ore
CONS plan of electing United States
senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie? There are people who object
to Oregon's present senators for po-
litical reasons. Such objections are
to be expected. But is it not
source of satisfaction to know that
whatever criticism may be made of
Senators Bourne and Chamberlain it
cannot be asserted they acquired
their seats dishonesty? Each man
was endorsed for Office by the people
in free and open race. Each man
was the popular choice for senator
and the legislature but ratified that
choice as majority of the members
were under pledge to do
Is not this plan of procedure i'm
measurably better than the Illinois

Territory Overlaps.

The first petition filed is that of
Nesmith county, and in it the petit
TONERS ask for the creation of a new
county by that name from the
southern portion of Lane and
Douglas counties. The petition for
the creation Umpqua county, and
which is now being circulated and
will be filed in a short time, asks
that it be created of the western
territory of the same two counties.
The Williams county petitioners
also propose to secure the territory
necessary for the creation Of the
county from Douglas and Lane
counties, and it is so described that
it is in direct conflict with the
descriptions embodied in the Mes
mith and Umpqua petitions, and
should they all receive the necessary
vote and be enacted into law there
will be a unique legal question pre-
sented to the courts for solution, and
one upon which the leading attor-
neys of the city express a diversity
of opinions.

Attorney Generals View.

That there is good possibility
for the passage of all three measures
is generally conceded. That were it
but the matter of constructing re-
pugnant laws passed by the same
legislature the task would not be diff
ficult as the last act passed would
repeal the preceding ones and pre-
vail is conceded by the lawyers. In
this case, however, it is held by
them that this rule would not apply
as the measures would be enacted
into law by direct vote of the peo-
pie and simultaneously.
According to Assistant Attorney

law the measure receiving the high

NEW YORK, Dee. 9.-The messenger
boys Of New York city are making a
grand fight against the deplorable con-
dltlons they have been working under
III the past, in spite of the fact that
the y. NJ. c. A. and some of the mis-
Sions are furnishing scabs for the tele
graph companies
AT u meeting of the messenger BOYS
the strikers condemned the BOwerv
Mission for its rally to the aid of the
companies in supplying scabs Captain
Mack told a Call reporter that he has
information to the effect that ]. T.
Hunt, who is in charge of the labor
bureau Of the Bowcry Mission has
sent sixty men to scab at the Western
Union.
"That soul-saving institution, the
Bowery Mission, is using men taken
from the slums of the city to break
the strike of a lot of poor messenger
boys, said Mack. 'They are at last
showing their colors as a scab en-
ploymcnt agency. They cater to the
milionaires who support them"
1t was said that the Young Mems
Christian Association has promised
not to send any more scabs and they
will try to withdraw the men already
sent out. As a protest against the
action of the official of the Y NJ. c.
A. in sending scabs, to break the
strike of the boys, three members of
that organization called at the strike
headquarters and said that hereafter
they will withdraw their affiliation
with that body, as they would have
nothing to do with scab organiza

1t is not as we'll known as it might
be that the typographical union is in
terested in a trade educational project
A booklet just from the press tells us
that nearly 1900 students are enrolled
and that the lessons-whid are given
by correspondence are sold below cost
price. The union furnishes what in
higher educational circles would be
called an endowment by paying all ad
vertising and promotional expenses and
giving each person who finishes the
course from So up. 1t is estimated that
from $4,000 to 100000 year is eX
pended in this way by all the typo
graphical unions.
The booklet referred to contains
testimonials from students of the cours,
and from the youth of seventeen to tbs

IMPORTANCE OF COAL IN THE
NORTHWEST-GROWING NEED
FOR TRAINED MINING MEN

"Among all the valuables gifts the
Creator has bestowed upon man, coal is
the most essential to his we'll being and
progress. 1t is true that man could
exist under the suns warmth and the
fuel from the vegetation of the field
and forest. but it is clearly evident that
to attain the best conditions of civil
lHation and power he must have the
fuel supply, the stored up and crystal
lied sunlight of the old-tim oalmak-
ing periods"
In the great northwest parti ,ular at
tention has for many years, been paid
to the progress and development of the
metal mining industry, while very lit
tie attention has been given to the pros
pecting ami development of the large
coal resources of Washington, Oregon
Idaho. British Columbia and Alaska.
The coal mined in Washington and
British Columbia in the year 1909 was
valued at approximately $15,OOO,0oo
and at the present increase of popula-
ton and manufactures, the amount OF
coal mined will have to increase many
times what it is at the present day.
All over the world great interest and
enormous sums of money are being
spent to decrease the loss of life IN
the coal mining industry, so the sue
cessful coal mining man of today must
necessarily be better trained to under
stand and operate the up-to-date ma
cbinery and life saving devices now in
use. than the man of many years ago
In most of the coal mining states
of this country man is required TO
pass an examination before he can be-
come a mine foreman, or a mine super
intendent. so it necessarily follows that
anv mining man who hopes to raise
himself above a trapper, driver, coal
miner. fire boss or mine foreman, and
most men do, should not lose any op-
portunitv to take advantage of prae'
teal. theoretical education whenever 1t
is possible to obtain such.
The first coal mining course ever Of
fered in the northwest was given one
year ago by the Mining Department OF
the State College of Washington, Pull
man. Washington. 1t is this year main
+o;nino a ten weeks course in coal min
ing covering the following subjects
Coal mining, geology, coal analysis
