What Is a Majority?

One of our contemporaries proposes the remarka- he doctrine that the vote on the capital punishment bill would warrant continuance by the gov Vernor cf policy opposition "legalized murder. Though the bill defeated, the total vote brought out by it small that in the opinion of contemporary, the whole matter has been left where it before, in the conscience of the governor.
 the principle involved in this proposition and not the right of the twelve under sentence Of death at Florence live any longer. that will now consider. If this principle should be accepted and the acceptance of it should become general the whole scheme of popular legislation would have ceived it's death-bow. Nothing could be accomplished by the people.
 In the making of constitution we remember, the persistent argument against the initiative and referendum that popular legislation would mean legislation by the minority; that many of the yoters-a maiority--never would take part in such legislation. It was shown that that the n1arying experience of oregon, the only state in which the system had had trial. It is a fact that no initiated law amendment which has been adopted in this has received the votes of the majority of those entitled vote, and ferred law amendment has ever been finally sus- tained by the votes of the majority.
 On the anti capital punishment hIll 37,51O were cast majority 1252 against the bill. There  were cast on the road bond bill 56713 votes, a jority 283 against But very large majority the 71,0O0 registered voters failed their disapprova of the road bond bill that, according to the reasoning of our contemporary, the matter in Volved is left within the conscience of the state authorities, who may find in the silence of the ma aiory sanction to proceed carry out the pro- visions that bill
 This extraordinary principle might be given still more extended application Congressman Hayden, who lead the democratic ticket, received a little more than S3,00O votes. less than majority of all the votes that might have been cast. As majority the 71000 registered voters neglected to express their disapproval of his republican opponent, Mir. Eads their silence might be construed by temporary to give the consent of the majority to election of MT. Eads.

The Highest Form of Conservation.

The conservation of the public health which will hc the subject of lecture by Dr. Meserve at the Y. NJ C. A. tonight is the latest be undertaken vet it is the most useful form of conservation. We form kind of estimate the amount we have lost by failure for many years to con serve our natural resources. For instance, We of this valley figure with remarka ble accuracy how much have gained yearly from the construction "f the Roosevelt dam. Before the dam was built a fair estimate could have been made of the gain that would yearly result from it.
 But We cannot estimate the unnecessary loss we have sustained by the neglect of sensible and reas- enable rules of good living and which we are now coming slowly to understand In this favored region air and sunshine have greatly minimzed the loss entaied by the neglect of those rules, but in the country at large the loss has been frighfu beyond computation. It has occurred in sweeping conta- gons and epidemics; in days. months, years and lifetmes spent sick -beds in the great expense attendant upon illness. of it's many distressing results is the grinding poverty in thousands of American homes and that humiliating poverty which fills amshouses.

As an Opener of Jail Doors.

Some local controversy has been precpitdted over a movement said to have been instituted to secure a pardon for Louis Y. Eytinge. It is not OUT pur- pose to inquire at this time whether this dstin- gushed convict should should not be pardoned; whether his freedom is warranted under the law which permits the issuance of pardons those who can serve themselves and society better out side than within the walls of penitentaries. We are aware many months prominent persons and organizations in different parts of the country have interested themselves in the of Eytinge and have expressed belief that such talents as he possesses should not be immured within the walls of the penitentary.
 But all this is beside the feature of the case in which we are now concerned; not now in terested in the matter of the guilt innocence of Eynge; nor, in the question whether, if innocent he has so surely been reformed that his freedom would be a blessing rather than menace to society We leave all this the moment to his antagonists and his protagonsts
 We interested now only in the motive behind the imminent movement for his release, the main spring being Miss Diver who, bewildered at 8 distance by his briancy, desires to marry him. She recently visited him and afterward rounced her life purpose to be the securing of his freedom that she may wed him She has, we un- derstand, opened headquarters at Los Angeles for the prosecution of a systematic campaign in his behalf fer the removal of mountains and the mov- ing of flint hearted governor by that faith of hers in Eytnge and that persistence which in all ages has made a joke of ocksmiths who have foolishiy thought keep lovers apart
 We cannot say that wish this woman good luck In other circumstances would sympathize with her as we sympathize with all love hungry souls But this proposed match is not merely a
