The terms of peace which aro laid down iby tho Balkan allies appear to be fairly moderate. The armistice, first of all, will be for tho burial of tho dead and the more thorough treat ment of the wounded aud sick. Coin cidontly with this humane- work, dur ing the armistice there win bo nego tiations for permanent peace. The Balkan allies are willing, it seems, to allow the Turks to retain Constanti nople and a strip in Europe along tho Bosporus and "Dardanelles; but all of Macedonia and Thrace will be taken over by the allies. There docs not seem to be any special opposition ou tlio part of any of tkc great powers of Europe to tho absorption of Saloniki and a part of Macedonia by the Greeks, and- tho rest of Macedonia and Thraco by the Bulgarians, nor does there seem to bo any opposition to Montenegro gelling a part of Novipazar and the vilayet of Skulari; and Montenegro will proba'bly not be opposed in hor de sire to extend a little further down I he coast of the Adriatic also, so :is to ob tain the ports of Alessio and San Gio vanni do Mcdiwi. But the trouble comes with respect to the extension of Scrvisr, which wants to restore practically the boundaries of old Servia, which was so prominent in the early times as one of the great powors. Servia announces her inlen lon to absorb that portion of Novipazar that is not accorded to Montenegro, and to take Kossovo and part, of Al bania. This programme is scornfully resisted by Austria, and it appears that, Germany and ltaljr arc backlog Austria in her attempt to restrict the Servian absorption. On the other hand, Russia and probably Great. Britain and Franco, with which two powors Jviissia has an understanding on general European mutters, will with more or less strength and tenacity, back Serviu in hor at tempts nt expansion. There does not seem to bo any objection on the part of the allies to the creation of south em Albania into an independent prin cipality, perhaps under tho suy.crainly of the Porto; but, as Premier Asquith said, the final settlement of the re sults of the war will be taken up after ! the war is over, and will be settled as a unified proposition, not in scraps and patches, which would be certain to lead to einbarrassmout, entanglements, aud possible wa r. ' THE SEVEN IN HARD LUCK. The seven Governors who anuounced fo Colonel Roosevelt, that their Stales wero afire for him and wcro insistent upon his candidacy to bo President, have paid dearly for their lack of judgment, Tho States thoy repre sented did not seem to care very much about .Roosevelt, few of them giving him their electoral votes. The fate of thcao governors is summed up by the Chicago Intcr-Occan and tho result of tho election, as may "bo thus stated: Stubba of Kansas, tho most vo ciferous and stubborn of all, except Governor Johuson of California, saw his Stato go for Wilton, and. was him self beaten for tho Senate Go vcrnor Johnson of California sec3 his Stalo k-0 evenly, divided bolwccu Wilson and Jlooscvclt that to claim any popular firo for Booscvclt would bo absurd'. Governor Carey of Wyoming has s-iilTcrcd nothing, because there was no Governor to elect, but the State, here tofore staunchly .Republican, went Democratic on President, although sav ing tho legislature. Governor Glasscock of West Vir ginia failed to got Tenoiniualcd. and his Statu also went for Wilson. Governor Aldrich of Nebraska whs defeated, and Wilson carried: tho Stale. Governor Osborn of Michigan failed of reuoiuina'Jon and himself wenL back on Tioofevolt, although Rooecvclt car ried tho Stale. Governor Bass of Now Hampshire failed of rcnoiiiinat ion. Governor Hadley of Missouri cot back into this party before tho elec tion, but saw his Slate go overwhelm ingly for Wilson, with Boosevoll prac tically nowhere. It is singular to sec the unanimity with which these ecvcii Governors mis judged tho popular political drift in their own States, and most of them have so suffered in prestige and popii: larity that their political raco ia run. OREGON VOTERS' SANITY. The voters of Oregon arc evidently getting tired of having a multitude of questions put up to them for decision at every election. At the recent elec tion there were thirty-seven measures so submitted, some by way of consti tutional amendments, some by way of legislative referendum. The principal proposition was tho ono to change the form of State gov ernment to ouo legislative body aud making tho Governor a member of that body, and giving him power to ap point the other Stato officers. This would mean a practical merger of the legislative aud executive departments of tho government. There was also con nected with it a proposition to make the judiciary more amcuablo to popular control; but this whole proposition was buried in the ilooil of adverse votes. Mr. U'lien announces, however, that hu intends to keep this agitntion going and will have it before the people front time to time until they must finally ac cept it. , Of the thirty-seven measures sub mitted at the gcueral election this month to popular vole, twenty-sir wero beaten, oJavou only being afiirmod. The Orcgouian gives a record' of tho in creasing adverse votes of tho people of Oregon naiiist those floods of measures submitted to popular vote. Jt shows that in the StHto at Iar;;o th electors voted "no" two and a half times as often as they -voted "Yes." Tu tho municipal ballot in Portland, twenty-two propositions wore sub mitted, of which but bix wcro adopted and sixteen wcro rejected: so that the. elector voted "no" almost thrco limes as often as he voted "yes." Two years ago in tho Stale election nine measures out of thirty-two on tho bal lot wero ndoptcd and twenty-three re jected. The voter recorded "no" more than twice while ho registered one "yes." In previous years the ma jority of measures on tho State ballot had been approved. The Oregonian claims, therefore, that the lesson of the reccut elections in Oregon plainly is that the void's aro getting tired of this -much referendum business, and that they arc getting back to tho proposition Of representative govern ment and allowing the representatives lo perform their legitimate functions as they have boon declared and exer cised hitherto in American common wealths. J RIGHT OF REPRESENTATION. Tho matter of alleged right of the Progressive or any other minority parly lo representation on tlio committees of the Ilouso and Senate, and on the vari ous non-partisan governmental boards and commissions, is ono that is early raised. But that raising is futile; for there is no provision of law nor is thcro any political precedent, which re quires lliat any particular minority parly shall be represented ou non-partisan boards or commissions. The law morel)' requires that those bodies shall not be composed of moro than a major ity of any ono parly, and tho majority party always lakes this majority. As to the minority representation, thcro is no requirement that it shall be appoint ed from ono party or another. Tho Pro gressives herein arc. therefore, appeal ing for something that they have no right, in the law to demand. With respect to the committee ap pointments in the National Senate and House of "Representatives, the plea is equally futile; for the majority party lakes the chairmanships aud a majority of. tho members of air the cominittocs. Tt doos not admit that it is obliged to givo representation to all of the mi nority parties in Congress. When there j were Populist members they received but scant recognition in cither the House or tho Senate, and Ibis for the very practical reason that there were not enough of them to go around. Dur ing the past Congress there was in the Houso one Socialist, Mr. Victor Ber ger, of Milwaukee. To claim that M. Bergcr. iu order to have his party fairly represented, must, bo a member of all the House committees would be ab surd. He received tho usual recogni tion, and wa3 appointed a minority member on a few of the committees. This is all that he could expect. The make-up of tho committees, both of the Sonato and the J louse, is exclusively in the hands of the majority party, with concessions to the next strongest. There is no rule requiring tho division of the committeemen among the minority par ties in any particular way, and the Scn ato committee winch makes up tho Sen ate committees will proceed in tho usual course, by giving the chairmanship aud tho majority of tho. conunitlcc member ships lo the Democrats. U will appor tion minority positions precisely a3 it sees fit, without regard to any split in tho Bcpublican party or any claims of tho Progressives, l-ho Socialists, or any other faction. Under the ucw rules of tho House, tho Speaker uo longer has tho appoint ing of I ho c.DininittccP. b"t a committco of the HoiiBu that makes up these com mittees makes these selections precisely as the Senate has always made the com mittco select ions for that body. This House commit! oo will proceed on pre cisely the old lines. It will give tho Ilouso conimitlco chairmanships lo Democrat?, and tho majority of the committees will be Democrats. The mi nority parlies will be represented as nearly as possiblo in proportion to their strength, as heretofore. If the Pro gressive representatives, who aro very few in number, choose to make them selves a separate parly from the Re publican party, their representation will bo cut down correspondingly, while they will stand a. better chance for com mittco positions if they mako no such separation, for with separation they arc liable to lose the priority thoy might retain as Republicans. The same would be true in the Senate. Tho Pro gressive Senators ace few iu numbers, although active and energetic. It is possible that they would stand a bettor chance for committee positions in the Senate as a divided party, than the Keprcseuiathcs would in the House; b'nt they would still be in a worse case than if they made no distinction be tween themselves and the other Repub licans. For in fact, they were all of them elected as Republicans and not as Progressives; and they hold as Re publicans preferred positions which as Progressives they might lose. There is not a single Senator who holds his of fice through election as a l'rogressivc, and there are very few Stales iu the Nation, if any at all. who have Pro gressive legislatures that would elect distinctly a Progressive Senator. I Thus, iu making a division such as suggested, the Progressives would presently find themselves out of posi tions. Doubtless, the suggestion for such division comes from Senator Dix on of Montana, who has been noted as thi" wild freak of optimistic suggestions and imaginative claims all through the late campaign. This suggestion of his, it is a clear case, would be iu direct op position to tho trim interests of the Pro gressives themselves, as is cnsilv seen bv a review of the situation. Tho Pro gressives, a3 a matter of fact, have no distinct partisan representation in the. Hout-e. Jf they chose lo hold them sulvcs as a separate vartv, of course they can do it, but iu fco doiug Ihoy would sink into an insiguilicanco that would bo mow distasteful to them than even affiliation with the Republican party; and Republican Senators repre sent .as Republicans, since the) have all been elected and aro so scheduled iu tho Sonato. As Republicans, most of tho Progressives in tho Houso have been elected, and as such tho Demo crats will naturally, schedule them. As Progressives thoy would have practical ly little better standing than Mr. Ber gcr, the single Socialist Representative in the present Congress. WHAT OFFICIALS WILL DO. A pretty thorough schedule of what tho members of tho present National administration intend to do iu March next, "upon going out of office, is pre sented iu t he JSas'torn newspapers. 1 'res ident Taft himself, it is reported, will open a law offico in Cincinnati.

In Europe balloonisls aro liable to run into perils unforeseen, thc&o alto gether aside from the perils of avia tion. At the recent competition for the Gordon Bennett cup in Germany, an American balloonist named Watts competed. He crossed) an arm of the Baltic Sea and. drifted over into Rus sia, but on landing thoro he was promptly arrested and charged with be ing a spy. The idea of spies coming in such an open, ostentatious way as this would hardly have occurred, lo any except the denso mind of a Russian polico officer. II was a number of days before Mr. Walls's friends could, hear anything about what; had happened fo him, no report, coming lo tho outside ;is to his arrest, and it was a week or so before- "Walls could get. his release from jail. Tho idea of supposing thai spies would, travel in a balloon is one of thoso things so grolcsquo as to arouso amusement. As tho St. Louis Times well says, "ho might as well travel at tho head of a brass band." lint tho Russian precaution is moat oxtraordinar-. and anything unusual is suspicious. It is forluuute that Mr. Walls was able to communicate with hia friends aud to get released as early as ho did, for a polico system which wou.ld imagine- that spies come down in balloons- would be quito capable of transporting Ihcin to Siberia J'or noth ing more than tho unusual and suspicious method of their entry into "Holy Russia." TO OATCII THEIR BREATH, ' California is aboul to Iry, by reason of an auiciidiuout to its constitution adopted last year, a new idea in legis lat.ion. The legislative session, accord ing to this amended provision, will be divided into two parts. Thcro will be a preliminary session in January last ing thirty days. During that time, every member who wishes to introduce a bill can do it. Thoso bills cau 'bo referred to committees, aud perhaps ordered printed; but they aro nol lo 1)0 aeted upon until the second part of tho session. There will lie a thirty days' accumulation of legislative grist, and then the legislature will adjourn for at least thirty days, to lot the peo ple express their opinions on the bills that havo been introduced, aud allow tirno for tho legislators to reflect upon these measures themselves. After this thirty days of rest, tho legislature comes together again, the nicmbors iu the meantime having been supposed to be brooding on the measures intro duced, and in March tho second part of the session will begin, and will last as long as the legislators desiro to sit. This is an interesting experiment, with great possibilities of thorough discussion of the measures proposed in the legislature. At this second ses sion it is presumed there will bo little or no introduction of new bills, but the session will confine itself to the consideration of the measures intro duced during the preliminary session of thirty days. It is a now idea, and the people everywhere will be inter ested in seeing how it works. "It has been discovered that ono day old cheese can bo instantly aged to two years by electricity. Wait un til thoy apply the method to whisky," says the Milwaukee Sculinel. L?ul you don't need to wail, for they've been doing that for years; aud the drinker gets tho samo old- shock.
