ACCORDING TO
THE OREGON IDEA

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 9.--Although the
Oregon Legislature, which will convene
here next Monday, will be over
whelmingly Republican, it will be COM
PEELED, in compliance with the state
law which provides for the direct
election of United States senator's, to
name Harry Lane, Democrat, as the
successor of Jonathan Bourne, jr., in
the United States senate.
At the fall election, when the vo-
ters registered their preference for
the senatorship, DIR. Lane was the
Democratic choice and polled more
votes than the other candidates, Bon
Selling, the Republican nominee, and
Jonathan Bourne jr., who made an
eleventh-hour start in the race ~ an
independent.
Some historic interest attaches to
the election Of DR.. Lane as United
States senator from Oregon, since he
is grandson Of General Joseph Lane
who was Oregon's first territorial gov
ernor, one of her first senator's and q
candidate for vice president of the
United States on the Breckenridge
ticket in 1860.

Gus work, such as handling cores in
iron foundries, was at last in sigh,
in New York state today. Following
the vigorous denounciation of child
labor by Governor Sulzer in his ini-
tial message to the Legislature, it was
expected that the legislature, when it
resumed its session today, among the
bills introduced will be several des-
ignated to correct the abuses exposed
by Mary Boyle Reilly few days ago.

That there would be an attempt to
block the passage of the bills became
known today.
Already upstate members have
been deluged with appeals against the
proposed laws on the ground that II
enacted they would kill the industry
in this state. Cannery owners have
prepared an enormous quantity of lit
erature in which they seek to show
that the work done by the children
SIS in reality hardly more than play
at the wages they are paid for it,

today. They have arranged to sec
that the entire section referring to
child labor is reprinted for the benefit
Of every member of the Legislature
Sulzer said:
For the welfare Of the state, child
labor must be protected. Not only
should the child be guaranteed the
right to be born equal but it must
be given the chance to live, to grow,
to learn, and develop into useful and
patriotic citizenship. No business has
an inalienable right to child labor. No
industry has a right to rob the state
of that which constitutes its greatest
wealth. No commerce that depends
