The old law hold that a justice of the peace hold office for two yours. In 1'Jll, by a vote of the people, the term of olflce of Judges of tho su preme court and ull other Judlclul of llcera was extended to six years. Some doubt existed In legal minds of Ilie state, If the term "Judicial of lice'1 applied to the office of the jus- lice of tho peaco. The supreme court wus cullud upon several years ago to pass upon tho office of county judge and liehl that it was a Judicial office This is the first tlmo that tho high tribunal was culled upon to puss on the office of Justice of the peace.

For any one lo vote for Prraldent Wilson on the anauinpllon that be kept as out of war ni'iiii like the Irony of fate, aid Charle W. Fairbanks republican nominee for vtcv-prraldcnt, before an Immense crowd al the Armory lust oil-lit. The return of Mr. Wllon to Wash ington means that when the war ends we will be confronted with serious eco nomic and other prublema; that sba'l be obliged to suffer from the damage which democratic policies will Inflict upon the country. They ar certain to be very direct and very real. "Everyone who will deeply reflect upon It can see that when the war ends and the million engaged In the war In the old world take np the Im plements of peace and reach out for our markets, the competition will be very keen. It will be battle of wagen between the European and the Ameri can working man. It will be the sharpest struggle of the kind within recent years at least. Necessity will drive our foreign lompetilors to make every concession In wages knftwn, to command a considerable share of our markets. Mr. Fairbanks ridiculed the over worked democratic Idea that the presi dent has kept the country out of war. The blundering ocouutlon of Vera Crux, involved every element of war he usterU'd. "Ask. if "you will, the fathers, mothers, brothers und sisters of our brave boys In Vera Cntr., who now lie buried at home, if there was not war In Mexico," he besought. His utidience received this signifi cant suggestion In profound silence, r.nd Mr. Fairbanks, lulling note of the impression that his words had created, continued with emphatic dec'aration that there has been no demand by the country or by any part of tho country for a war. On the contrary, he added, public sentiment is overwhelmingly against it. Mr. Fairbanks' speech wus confined largely to a discussion of the. demo cratic cry that "he kept us out of war," but he departed rrom this line of argu ment ut frequent Intervals to plead for a continuation of the protective tariff policies to which the republican party stunds committed. Moreover, he made It plain that the tariff question is closely Interwoven with the problems growing out of the present war in Europe, "The return of Mr Wilson to Wash ington means," ho usserted,"tliut when the war ends v.c will be confronted with serious economic und other prob 'ems. It will be a battle of wages be tween the European and the American workingman. We must protect our selves against the products of Europe' low-priced laborers if the standerd of our wages Is to be maintained." His audience was plainly a sympa thetic one and applauded repeatedly his bitter attacks upon the democrutir. administration. His reference to Charles E. Hughes his running mate, mot with a deafen ing volume of applause. His speech in Portland last ulglif was the fourth one of the day. He bad spoken previously at Eugone, at Al bany and at Salem, dut his voice was In good condition. slonor, pledged his host efforts in u1 again and then he lilted it. and his constructive road program, j.
