The Underlying Motive.

The northwest is alive and it must
be admitted that its life is very
largely due to the commercial clubs
which have of late years been form
ed in all the towns and cities of i'm
portance. The same story comes
from over the border. There the
Canadian club in every town takes
the place of the commercial club
here and is a very important feature
of the country's progress. Every
community is merely the individual
in the aggregate. Divided action of
the individual can do little but when
a few, it may be a very few, men of
energy come together and they each
have the same object in view, they
can, if they persevere, generally get
it. A common object of every COM
munity is progress in numbers, in
prosperity and in wealth, but there
is a deeper feeling underlying this.
the men who give their time and
money to the community have gen.
orally the higher ideal, the desire to
raise and elevate that community

VIEW POINTS OF THE PRESS
Blood Will Tell.

One cannot help contrasting the
splendid tributes, unstinted praise
from all sources, official and private
and general expression of sorrow and
regret, being recounted in the press
at the death OF King Edward, with
the incidents and comments attend
ing the death of the late King Leo
pold of Belgium, with the revivals
of the scandals in the private life
of the king, and the denunciation
for the cruelties of his reign over the
Congo. Blood is thicker than wa
ter, and America sincerely mourns
the death of the English king, and
takes immense satisfaction that his
reign reflected to the honor Of the
Anglo-Saxon and English speaking
nations.-Olympia Record.

THAT SENATORIAL PLEDGE.

In view of the disclosure of bribery
in the election of Senator Lorimer
of Illinois and the refusal of the leg
islature in that state to elect the man
who was designated for the senator
ship in the direct primary, it is op-
perfume for the people of this state
to see to 1t that candidates for the
legislature to be elected this fall take
the pledge to elect the senatorial can
didate who is the expressed choice Of
the people at the primaries. II a
candidate of the legislature refuses
to make this pledge, the chances are
that his refusal is prompted by some
Interior motive. The intention of the
primary law is to register the will
and the intent of the people of this
state and in order to make this man
date operative provision has been
made for legislative candidates to
support the choice of the people made
at the polls. This pledge is volun-
tary on the part of candidates, and If
the people elect man to the legis-
lature who does not take this pledge
and who thus in effect, by refusal to
take the pledge, indicates his hos
tility to the direct primary law, the
people will have only themselves to
blame.
Senator Jonathan P. Bourne, Jr.,
of Oregon, is a staunch supporter of
the primary law of that state, and in
speaking of the refusal of a legisla-
ture to obey the instructions of the
people in their choice of a United
States senator said it would only be
an insult to the intelligence and in
dependence of the Oregon elector
ate" 1t is evident that where
legislature carries out the mandate
of the people such scandalous occur
ences as have come to light in the
Illinois legislature would be impos-
sible. The purpose of the direct pri
mary law in this state is similar to
that expressed by the Oregon Senator
with reference to Oregon when he
says:
PLAINLY stated, the aim of our law
is to destroy the irresponsible politi-
cal machine and put all elective Of
ficers in the state in direct touch with
the people, as the real sources Of au-
thority; in short. to give direct and
full force to the ballot of every cleo
tor In Oregon and to eliminate domi-
nance of corporate and corrupt influ-
ence in the administration of public
affairs.
"The Oregon laws mark the course
that must be pursued before the
wrongful use of corporate powers can
be dethroned, the people restored to
power and lasting reform secured, to
insure an absolute government by the
people"
