the people, and they had chance to
gauge his efficiency That they re-
Iected him is no proof that his services
were below par. 1t is rather com
mentary on the manner in which GER
tain half-baked reforms work out. The
system, not Senator Bourne, is wrong
theoretically the people are inva-
riably on the right side when they are
untrammeled, but nevertheless they
make terrible mess of things some
times. We know that they are inva-
riably in favor of useful public serv-
ants, but somehow or other they man
age to make fuss over the men who
are the best campaigners. The people
always may be trusted to do the right
thing, except on those special occa-
sions when they do the wrong thing.
The rule of the majority, without any
checks or balances, is a fine institu-
ton except on those occasions when
it isn't.
1t is too bad that Senator Bourne
should be the victim of his own re-
form and his own faith in the people. |
He finds himself in a position where
he must admit that either he or the |
system he created is wrong. We pre-
Ter to think that the system is wrong.

DEFEAT OF
SENATOR BOURNE
Refused to Leave Duty to

Washington Post.)

Il is to be hoped that Senator Jona-
than Bourne will not lose his faith in
tho neople as a result of his defeat at
tho primaries in Oregon. That he
xas not successful is no commentary
on the quality of his services to the
neople of his state. He is simply the
victim of an unwise experiment.
It was Senator Bourne who did most
10 bring the initiative, referendum
and recall into popularity. He was al
So a very stanch advocate of State
primaries. His latest theory was
very direct compliment to the voters
of the state. He took the position
that his services were well known to
his constituents, and that they had
sense enough to realize the advantage
of having a trained official as their
representative in the United States
Senate. He pointed out that the Unit
ed States, in paying him his salary,
had expended a great deal of money
TO train him as a useful public serv-
ant. and that the voters had their
choice of accepting man with such
training, continuing him in his posi-
ton of power, or taking another man
without the same training.
No campaign of any kind was made
by Senator Bourne. He simply re-
