WASHINGTON. Auk. I. W10 To Uie
Alitor of Th Uee: I hav received an
editorial clipping from The lite of July 22,
In which you say, among other things,
that In my acMrrss In tne senate on May
a, on the subject of popular government
In or-a')n, I carefully suj'Prensed the In
formation that tlilrly-two measures were
to- be submitted to the people of Oregon
ut the coming election.
I diu.m It but fair to myself and to the
Oregon syttem of popular government to
say that the time for filing petitions for
the. submission of measures under the In
itiative did not expire until July H, and
most of the measures to bo submitted were
filed shortly prior to that date. It'would
haw been Impossible for me In a speech
delivered on May 5 to have predicted what
nunl:er of measures would be submitted.
1 wish to tay, also, In answer to your
editorial, that the submission of this num
ber of mwisures la by no means a discredit
to the Initiative and referendum. An In
spection of past records will show that the
people of Oregon have not adopted meas
ures aniens there was need for them. Ex
perience In the future will show the same
thing. These thirty-two measures will be
extensively and thoroughly discussed.
DlitcuHidons of public questions have made
the people of Oregon the moat Intelligent,
the most proirresslve and the moat Inde
pendent people In the United States. In
states where the people have no oppor
tunity to express their views upon public
questions there la no occasion for them to
study or discuss matters of legislation. In
Oregon the voters are compelled to give
their attention to problem of publio policy.
They know more about their government
than do the people of any other state, and
they take a more direct Interest In the ad
ministration of public affairs. Several
times, legislatures have made mistakes so
serious that It has been necessary to call
special evasions of the legislature to cor
rect their errors. It has not been neces
sary to call special sessions of the legis
lature to correct errors of the people, not
withstanding your assumption that they
are not capable of acting Intelligently.
JONATHAN BOURNEX
We cheerfully give publicity to this
statement from Senator Bourne, which
acquits him of any Intention, to sup
press the information that at the com
ing election thirty-two measures are to
be submitted to the people of Oregon
under the initiative and referendum
law. Senator Bourne declares that at
me time Be made bis speech in the
senate there was no possible way to
ascertain how many measures were to
be voted on this year, but that does
ndt alter the fact that since the adop
tion of the Initiative and referendum
the number of measures submitted at
the polls has grown from two the first
year to eleven the second year, to nine
teen the third year and to thirty-two
the fourth year.
The point which The Bee undertook
to make was predicated upon the argu
ments advanced, not by Senator
Bourne, but by the advocates of the
initiative and referendum In Nebraska,
that the experiment so. far In Oregon
was abnormal and that t,ho number of
measures might be expected,', to de
crease from .now onj " These advocates
of the initiative and, referendum admit
what Senator Bourne seems to deny,
that the muUiplibity of measures must
prove, confusing -and disturbing;, and
subversive of,; sane legislation, V con
iwnaing, nowever, at the same . time
that the right to Initiate, or to block
legislative measures' ty ' popular "vote
would be chiefiy; useful" VlthouC exer
cising. -, . .
It is plain from Senator Bourne's
own statement that in Oregon the In
itiative and referendum Is ,not merely
a potential safety valve, as has been
urged, but rather a mechanism for the
active propagation of aU sorts of freak
proposals If the people of Oregon
have heretofore rejected measures for
which there 'was no need they are en
titled to credit. But why thev should
want the people of every other state
to be similarly 'afflicted is not explain
able except on the theory that misery
loves company. '
We must take issue wl;h Senator
Bourne in another assertion when he
doclares that "the people of Oregon
are the most intelligent, the most
progressive and the most independent
people in the. United States." We
claim for the people of Nebraska, who
have the smallest percentage of illit
eracy of any state, at least equality In
intelligence, progressiveness and in
dependence with the people of Oregon
or any other state. We go further
and venture to stand squarely upon
this proposition that Nebraska, with
out the initiative and referendum, has
nad right along, and has today on Its
statute books, legislation more pro
gressive and going further in the di
rection of real reform than has Oregon
with the initiative and referendum at
any corresponding datel Judging by
the enactment of salutary legislation.
tne Australian ballot law, the regula
tion of the liquor traffic, the upbuild
lng of Its public schools and unlver
uy, jaws governing tne labor of
women and children, laws providing
for full compensation for " Injured
workmen and removing the limit of
recovery of damages for death, rail
road rate legislation, direct primaries,
corrupt practices act and all down the
list, the people of Nebraska have ruled
and are ruling with as much intelli
gence and with as good result as the
people of Oregon.
Farmers and' Autoi.
The least convincing part of this re
port of the bankers objecting to their
customers investing heavily in auto
mobiles 1b the suggestion that It con
cerns only the farmer. Why not also
the city man? The farmer, it would
seem, is, above all others, able to buy
and own automobiles, and certainly' he
could put them to as good use as any
one. It is not surprising to find the
bottom falling out of the story when
the further the probe of investigation
is inserted, though there are cases
where individual bankers have ex
pressed doubt of the wisdom of loan
lng money to buy these machines.
Automobiles are no longer mere lux-
uries; they have become utilitarian in
their use and tbey are wielding a great
Influence toward bringing the city and
country into closer and more desirable
relations. The fairest purview of the
situation falls to disclose a single
sound reason why they should not be
In use by dwellers on the farm as well
as In the city, but a hundred reasons
can be found why they should, and, so
far as objections go, the only reason
that need be considered would be that
the farmers choose to have them.
Farmers are habitually and notably
a thrifty and frugal class of people and
the western farmer has cashed In his
frugality until he feels quite able to
afford an automobile. His credit is
good and his property Is sound, so that
the bank is not likely now in this day
of his prosperity to question the use
to which he may want to put his
money.
Proposed Railroad Publicity Bureau.
Some of the larger railroads are un
derstood to be engaged in a plan to
plant a general publicity bureau in
Washington .during the coming session
o'f congress for the purpose of main
taining a campaign of so-called educa
tion as to railroad earnings, expenses,
rates and regulations.
Such a campaign has been con
ducted from Washington . before, so
the idea is not entirely new. Nor is
it a bad idea provided the information
disseminated deals only with facts.
Certainly large vested Interests like
railroads really the biggest indus
trial interest in the country should
have the right to lay their case before
the people in whatever form and fash
ion seems best, so long as they con
fine themselves to facts. And the peo
ple, on the other hand, have a lively
interest in the railroads that ought
to be satisfied by honest publicity. So
that a campaign of education along
these lines should be of mutual bene
fit. No one need say for a minute
that there are not two sides to this
railroad question, and the people will
have no lack of opportunity to hear
the other side.
But the railroads will do well to
make no attempt to mislead the pub
lic in this campaign of education. The
really big men Interested in the rail
ways' future should see to it that no
deception is practiced. Remembering
past experience, the people are not en
tirely to blame for being skeptical
about' railroad pleas and railroad fears.
and public confidence In the. railroad
publicity bureau can' be built up only
on strict adherence to truth and fair
dealing. , ,,.... -After
the comprehensive work al
ready done, it is Improbable that con
gress will enact any great amount of
vital railroad legislation . for . twp or
three years. In the meantime that re
cently written on the statute- book
win nave uuie to iuu iuv ieai -oi prB.cn
tical experience and IX restrictions have
beeii too tightly dawri, it.wjll ev'lop
sufficiently to justify the railroads in
asking the government to right' any
wrong. Co-operation toward an honest
solution of every problem arising from
railroad . management audi regulation
Is what ought to prevail between the
corporations and the government. - If
the proposed publicity bureau works
to thia end, no objection will be
against it.
Canadian Independence.
Those people who still doubt the
deliberate intention ot Canada to be
come ultimately an Independent nation
should read these words recently
uttered by Sir Wilfrid Laurler, premier
of the Dominion: ' -.
I hold out to. my fellow countrymen the
hope of Independence. If we are true to
our record, we will exhibit to the world the
unique, the unprecedented example of a
nation aohlevlng Its Independence by alow
degrees, and aa the ripe fruit falls from
the tree. The goal of my ambition la to see
Canada an independent nation.
Years ago Sir Wilfrid said:
If the interests of Canada clash with the
Interests of England, la It any part of my
loyalty or yours that we should make the
Interests of Canada give way to the In
terests of England?
There was a feeling on this occasion
that Laurier and his party would not
long continue in the front, but here
they are years after still dominant and
still more determined on independence,
Make no mistake about Canada's
ambition and purpose it ia aiming at
ultimate independence. Soma few
years ago it built two warships and
when England heard ot its plana the
mother country applauded what it mlS'
conceived to be a practical proof of
loyalty on the part of a province. Eng
land had long felt the burden of main
taining the cost of being the queen of
thA rabi anri thfa vnluntarv bM fvum!
Canada was graciously received. But
Canada consumed short time in dis
abusing the mind of the mother coun
try and informing it that these ships
were for Canada, not England, and
that they would be- used in defense of
England only in the event that the
power opposing England also directly
menaced Canadian interests. On the
other hand, should England go to war
with some nation not unfriendly to or
menacing Canada, Canada's ships
would remain In the harbor under the
flag of an Independent nation. In
other words, those two ships formed
the nucleus of Canada's own Independ
ent navy and England fully under
stands that today.
Independent Canada is in the
columns of all the Canadian news
papers and on the Hps of its people.
The sentiment Is growing, helped on,
no doubt, by the proximity to the
United States. ' There can be little
question that the association of these
years has had ita effect.
On a very recent occasion Canada
actually refused to permit a shipload
of Englishmen to land on Its shore be-
cause tbey were regarded as undesir
ables. Britain had decided as a means
of solving its problem ot the unem
ployed to ship out thousands of these
wayfarers to ita dependencies, and this
was Canada's portion, or a small part
of It. Canada's answer was, "We will
take as many as make good farm
hands, only."
This position on Canada's part Is in
evitable. It is a vast and rich domain,
being developed by a strong and ambi
tious people, and as serious as the blow
must be to England, it has to come in
time as a matter qf course.
The Pilgrim Fathers.
President Taft's visit to old Prov
incetown on the 290th anniversary of
the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers is
full of sentimental Interest to every
true American, and the dedication of
the monument commemorative of this
great event should concern us all. It
does no harm to pause in the busy
rush of these modern days and go back
to the fountain period of the republic
to study the motives and aspirations
impelling 100 ill-fed and ill-clad men
from a distant land to see It, refuge on
this continent. The president put it
eloquently when he said:
Other efforts had been made on the New
England coast to found colonies for profit,
but this waa the first attempt made by
men seeking political and religious Inde
pendence to secure an asylum In America.
They were of the yeomanry, of the farmer
clasa. Their ministers were unlverslty-bred
men, but the rest were humble, God-fearing
persons. The spirit which prompted them
to brave the sea, to land on this forbidding
coast In winter and to live here has made
thla country what It Is. It prompted and
fought the revolutionary war. It welcomed
and fought the civil war and has furnished
the United States the highest Ideals of
moral life and political citizenship.
Thus it is to the credit of the Amer
ican nation that, great as it has be
come in material wealth and prowess,
It has not forsaken the fundamental
principles of morality on which It was
founded, but rather has nurtured
those tenets into stronger, more vital
ized precepts. We are a great nation
because we have kept the faith of the
fathers and not because we have vio
lated it; a great nation because we
have been true to their principles and
not because we have been untrue to
them. Religious and political liberty
as the heritages of our ancestry are
in more tangible evidence today than
they have ever been at any period of
the country's history and patriotism is
just as pure and untarnished as it was
the day those rugged refugees from
foreign intolerance found their footing
on the bleak New England shore. Oc
casions) like the one at Provincetown
should', help us to take inventory and
realise these facta. That will be get
ting a sentiment out of them well
worth cherishing, a sentiment that
does not -bemean and belittle the times
In the false belief that because they
are modern they are wicked and bad.
,"ilng,lisnwomen and Education.:.
.The Duchess pf 'Marlborough, who
was Miss Consuelo Vanderbllt before
ber marriage, Is giving her sisters in
England some excellent advice on the
matter of higher education for women.
In a recent address In London, which
is - reprinted in the Outlook, she
preaches' a most orthodox sermon on
this subject, holding up the American
woman, and particularly her of the
west, as an example of the advantages
of higher education to her Bex. The
duchess says:
In my country, as you know, girlB go
In much more for a, college course than In
England r and especially In the western
states where there are not only colleges
for girls, but where nearly every college
admits women studentsthe percentage Is
very high. The new type evolved Is, to
my mind, a very pleasing one. ' The western
girl Is educated and capable; she is quick,
alert, and intelligent, and her physique, as
well aa her mind, Is Improved by the col
lege games and exercises she takes part In.
It is not thought strange and unwomanly
that girls should wish to benefit from a
college course, and it Is now an accepted
fact that a, girl should graduate Just as
her brother does. Her emancipation has
neither brought about the appaJIng deteri
oration that pessimists predicted, nor have
men found college-bred girls to make less
devoted wives and mothers. On the con
trary, the broader and' more experienced
point of view that education - confers Is
conductive to a more complete understand
lng, and men value the good fellowship
which the freer training Is apt to bring
out In women.
Of all the women In the world those
In England should take up higher edu
cation, not so much because they lack
culture and mental discipline, but for
the simple reason that they outnumber
the men of their country by 1,600,000
The practical aspect of this disparity
would appall an American girl or
woman. To be looked upon in the con
descending light of the "single sister"
at home, dependent on the family for
support, would never satisfy the aspi
rations of the average western girl
She prefers individual Industry and
what rewards it may bring to any
Idle elegance you could possibly "give
her. That is why the woman in the
United States ia taking her rank in
nearly every line of activity; that is
why, for Instance, in Chicago, which
spends $12,000,000 a year to main
tain Its public schools, she comprises
6,762 of the army of 6,296 teachers
in the 267 schools and that is why, In
the person of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young
this same energetic American woman
stands at the very head of this great
school system.
This titled daughter of the Amer
ican millionaire, in ber address,
pleaded for Bedford college, a girl
school in London, and wished "that
some generous man would forever
earn our gratitude by a munificent
gift" to- the school. ' But since even
a Vanderbllt did not know of such
man, she begged her sisters to unite
with her In contributing to build up
this school, which she hoped would
become : the center Tn England of
higher education for' women and the
beginning of a new era that will trans
form the English woman Into a more
Independent thinker and worker.
If the empire will co-operate with
this American duchess it will have
cause to thank the Duke of Marlbor
ough for going to the United States
for his wife.
In an editorial on the death of John
G. Carlisle Colonel Watterson brings
out the very interesting fact that Pres
ident Cleveland wanted to make Mr.
Carlisle chief justice of the supreme
court in 1888 and was deterred only
by the threat of the democrats in the
senate that they would not confirm the
appointment. He and others regarded
the Kentucklan as the greatest lawyer
of his day and as taking rank in his
tory with such legal luminaries as
Daniel Webster.
The party cannot pause to defend those
who are guilty, or who, If Innocent, have
arouaed a suspicion which can never be re
moved. Mr. Bryan'a Commoner.
What, then, about that $15,000 of
Wall street boodle which was turned
over to Brother-in-Law "Tommy" Al
len in 1904 to get a distinguished Ne
braska orator back on the stump ad
vocating the election of a candidate for
president he had previously denounced
aa dishonest?
It is not surprising to learn that in
New York and other places where they
are allowed to show the moving pic
tures of the Reno fight are not draw
ing heavily. If a lot of good people
who were opposing these pictures had
taken time to stop and think how they
would strike the fancies of the major
ity of people they probably would not
have opposed so vociferously.
Remember that at the coming Ne
braska primary every ballot marked
for candidates in more than one party
column will be thrown out and will
not count for either. Even under the
open primary each elector will have to
vote as a republican or as a democrat,
and not as both.
Of course, Mr. Carnegie and Mr.
Rockefeller should be allowed to give
away their fortunes if they choose, but
tney are not jusunea in running us
down and shoving their money Into
our pockets.
The democrats of New York are no
longer divided between Hughes and
Roosevelt, as David B. Hill once found
them, but appear to be united still
against harmony.
The Oklahoma constitution may be
hailed by Mr. Bryan as the best in the
land, but when it comes to Oklahoma
officials it is not safe to give a blanket
endorsement.-

ing message because it has a bitter taste.

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULHT.
Washington Herald: A New Jersey pastor
has made himself Immensely popular and
paid his church out of debt, all In one year,
and he snys It Is due to the short sermons
he preaches. So rare a diplomat deserves
to succeed.
Baltimore American : Every church should
put Its paster's vacation on Its annual
schedule as regularly as It puts Its Christ
mas and Easter services. Whether the
holiday be a couple of weeks or a couple
of months. It should, be given freely and
the pastor should be made to take It. He
needs it and the members of his family
need It. Such a vacation menns better
work all around when It Is ended, mean
more vigor, more energy, more strength
for that planting and sowing and reaping
which bring great harvests In the Master's
field.
Philadelphia Ledger: The Lancaster
preacher who opposes the use of the tele
phone on Sunday raines other questions
without settling that which perturbs him.
In speaking to a friend at a dlstanoa the
voice Is raised. Surely this would not be
deemed wicked on any day of the week. If
the friend Is so far n way that the mere
raising of the voice Is not sufficient, the
Iniquity of employing the aid of -a wire,
already strung. Is far from clear. Sup
posing an aged auditor, of the exoellent
prencher to be deaf, yet anxious not to
miss a word of wiHdom. Would It be wrong
to resort to the use of an ear trumpet?
New York Sun: Amateur theologians
who have been filling the columns of the
London Times with their views on the
alterations of the king's declaration of
fallh have found a new subject for their
animadversions. The three great English
presses that have the practical monopoly
of printing Bibles have agreed to shift a
comma In the Lord's prayer. Instead of
reading "Thy will be done in earth, as
It Is In heaven" it Is now "Thy will be
done, In earth as It Is In heaven." The
change seems Infinitesimal, even If a slight
difference In meaning may be detected In
It, and there can be no question of commas
with regard to the Greek original. In
matters of religion, however, nothing Is
trivial, and while we need not fear the
shedding of blood that a single iota pro
voked In the centuries of the Arlan con
troversy, thJs transposition of a comma
has already caused the waste of much
valuable Ink and bas troubled many earn
est souls.
