What the Senate Thinks of 1t.

When Senator Bourne delivered in the United States senate his speech in laudation of the oregon plan" of direct Iegislation-the speech which has been generally circulated in Ali zona-he had the full membership of the senate as an attentive audience. It is so rarely that even a majority of the senators remain in their seats to hear a colleague deliver speech. that the extraordinary attention paid to Bourne, received especial attention in the dispatches as our readers will recall.
 Our readers, and all readers of the Washington news, will also recall that at the close of Senator Bourne s speech a motion was made that the address be printed as a public doc ument-AND THE SENATE RE FUSED. Senator Lodge making the objection.
 So customary is it for the senate to accord to its members the courtesy of printing as a public document such speeches as they wish to have circulated in pamphlet form, that such courtesy is denied scarcely once in a decade Senator Bourne's speech appeared in the Congressional Record of course. and having been printed in that publication. the Oregon senator is privileged to send it out under his frank, free of postage, he having first paid for its printing at the government printing office. To that extent it is, like every other congress sional speech, a public document"
 But the senate REFUSED to print it at public expense That showed what the senate thinks of the Bourne doctrines-the doctrines which the democrats are pledged to write into the Arizona constitution.
 
 And still, there are wise men or the street corners of Phoenix who know" that the senate will approve our constitution if it contains these things. These men know" more than Postmaster General Hitchcock; they Know" more than Governor Sloan; they know. more than Del egate Cameron; they know" more oi the situation, in fact than do all oi the men who have had private advice' from Washington as to the certainty of statehoods defeat if our consti- tuition contains the Oregon doctrines They know more than do the sin cere friends of statehood who are pro

 reason will of course decline to con- cede that the senate's refusal to print Bourne's speech at public expense is significant of the senates attitude toward the Oregon doctrines.

Let Us Get Statehood.

Governor Geer made an exception ally strong point last night, when he told the frenzied advocates of the in itiative and referendum" that if they would devote to the election of mem bers of the legislature one tithe of the attention they are giving to ad- vocacy of these "isms." they would not need to worry about results in the legislature.
 This whole hysteria in favor of doctrine which, if included in Ari- zona's constitution will certainly lead to the defeat of statehood, is based on the theory that members of the legislature after they are elec,ed re- fuse to carry out the wishes of their constituents.
 The facts are, and every observing citizen of Arizona will bear us out in the assertion, that not a singlt instance in the history of Arizona Legislatures can be mentioned in which members of the legislature had been informed of the wishes of their constituents and refused to carry out those wishes.
 the legislature have done foolish things or neglected to do the right thing. the cause has been clearly traceable to the failure of the peo- pIe to make their wishes-if they had any-known to the legislature.
 How many of the initiative and referendum people ever took the trouble to take any serious interest in the selection of candidates for the legislature? How many of them ever bothered themselves to the extent oi writing to members of the legislature 10 give advice as to legislation? Il is a safe assertion that exceedingly few of them ever gave the matter any attention at all. And yet. they claim that they would take tho trouble to legislate for themselves!
 Everybody who is at all familiar with the details of legislation in this territory knows that the average member of a legislature Is as timic as a rabbit He is wholly anxious tc please the people who elected him The trouble he encounters is, that no body but professional lobbyists. pur' porting to represent the people" al ways represent some special interest and usually an interest that Is more or less antagonistic to the popular welfare.
 The initial trouble is in the man. ner in which members of the legisla. ture are nominated They are nom mated in conventions in which thu chief interest is in the nomination O candidates for the county offices, fo
