Make your Thanksgiving doubly happy by wearing clothes of unquestioned quality. Bros., busy with important work by force account. The actual building of the new water system is underway and there is no one who complains the work is not being done economically and well. This being the case the logical and businesslike thing for the people to do Is to keep the water board in power until Its task Is finished. There will then be no shifting of authority and responsibility. When the new water system Ls completed If it proves to be a good water system, the water com missioners will receive the credit; if it should prove inadequate "in any way the blame will rest directly on the shoulders of the water commis sioners. The logical thing and the? fair thing is to let the water board finish the work It' has underway. The commissioners Khould not be kicked out of office in disgrace unless then are substantial charges affecting their integrity and no such charges have been made save against Dr. Best. Here is the way the ' New York World looks on the present plight of the Mexican dictator. Hucrta Clone In striking once To His lKom. more the attitude of defiance, Huerta mer ely shows again how desperate is his position. In forcing the resignation of the latest member of his cabinet who has dared to advise moderation. 1)h merely again informs a watchlnu world of the rapidly contracting bounds of support among his own chosen followers. In convening the illegal congress which it had suited his purpose tc recogniRe. lie secured obedience only from a chamber of deputies that ha', been parked with members of his owr. staff andoffice-holder of his personal creation. The senate failed to rn':ot. as lie had ordered. What It may do later makes little difference. The elections which Huerta declared in valid us regards the presidency, be cause too few precincts look part in the voting, cannot be made regular In respect to Hucrta's congress by any grotesque logic of a dictator who knows the end of his power is near. With the capture of Juarez by the Constitutionalists and their possession of the northern states, .the richest part of Mexico, Huerta's boast that he will raise an army of 600, 000 men and proceed, with the pacification of the country is farcical. In a military way he has steadily been losing grounJ. He never had less reason to hope for moral or financial support from any quarter In Europe. He cannot borrow. Em were .v PendSetois Leading Clothiers He cannot fight. Armies without money are impossible.. His original, cabinet ls now prac tically all gone. His closest advisers, against whose counsels he has main tained his pose of defiance of the United States and permitted Mr. Lln l to withdraw again from the capital, are leaving him or becoming luke warm. Over a limited section of the country he ls nominally in control of a government incapable of governing and to which he can lend neither the appearance of power nor the color of expediency nor the title of public ap proval, j Huerta may delay his room. How! can he avert it? i To any unprejudiced mind the ar-i guments for a non partisan Judiciary j are so conclusive as toj on I'artixiin leave not a shadow ofj Judiciary. doubt as to the desira bility of a law provid-1 ing for Such a judiciary In Oregon, j r In opposition to the appeal for non I partisan Judges republican politicians assert it is a mere plea made In be half of those who do not belong to the majority party. In reply demo crats and progressive politicians as-j sert that republican politicians op-1 pose the change because it might keep j some of them out of office In the fu ture The partisan plea made either in be half of the republican party or In be half of the minority parties has noth ing to do with the merits of the ques tion. The only point to consider is whether people can best select good judges by a test wherein the candi date's personal fitness is made the is- Mie or by a contest wherein the only; test telaUx to the candidates partisan-j sbip. U Is a onesided question, H n-ev'er. it seems vain to expect a non partisan Judiciary law from the. legislature. If the state bar nsoci- j atlon had been sincere in wanting a ! non fiartisan Ju lkiary. law it should have drafted such a law for submjs-' Kion under the Initiative. I VIKil K OF THE NITvVKPAPFJt. (Leslie's Weekly.) More and more class ami secretar ial papers are shrinking In number and In Influence. The work which they did Is being done by the big secular papers, and, with their larger resources and their greater frequen cy of publication, they do the work In a more satisfactory way. Like the strictly religious pi-m, the sport ing papers, too, have given way un der the competition. at FROM THE PEOPLE lK I.INKS NOMINATION. Pendleton, Ore.. Nov. 21. Editor Kast Oregonian: In one of last evenings papers I notice that the firemen of Hoso Co No. 3 have placed nie In nomination for fire chief, and if ymi will grant me use of a few lines of your valu able spare 1 would like to thank them for the compliment and for tho good will they have shown in even thinking of such a thing. And while I fully ap preciate the honor they have bestowed on me, I must also decline to even allow my name to be placed on fire men s bullot. I do this for several reasons. The chief one is that I would make a very poor chief. My place of business is too far away from centra! headquarters; my residence almost a mile farther, and I have always con tended that a chief should be one of the first at a fire. Next reason and probably most Im portant Is that as a member of the city council I would not be eligible for the office of chief. And sUll an other reason is that I think when the department Is reorganized that the chief should be one of the paid fire men and not one of the volunteers. And of course It is out of question for me to ever become a paid fire man either In Pendleton or elsewhere as I would not be physically capable. So assuring the boys again that, re gardless of anything that has hap pened, tfrtit they have my good will at present, same as In the past, and that there will always be a warm place In my heart for the Pendleton volun teer fire department. I beg to remain their friend. JOHN W. DVKIt. 1 1 BY THE SCISSORS THK woKi.n-soNf;.

Three thousand five hundred Irish pilgrims recently journeyed to the fa mous grotto ut Ixiurdes In the hope that their ailments would be cured by divine agency. Three pilgrims from Belfast, after praying at the shrine, declared themselves miraculously cured. One of these was an 8-year-old boy named Downey, who threw away his crutches In ecstacy, exclaim ing: "Look! I can do without them!" Another was a man named Michael Downey, also from Belfast, who threw aside his crutches, claiming to be cured of paralysis, and. the third, his nephew, James MacAllster, 9 years old, who had been suffering from hip disease, was also able to throw away his crutches. These cures, only three in 3, .100, form a pitiably small per cent of the great number who made the long Journey, hoping for relief from their sufferings. The 1mdon Dally Mirror tells of 347 crippled Irish pilgrims who met at Cannon street station on their way home. it was,- said the Mirror, "a scene of the deepest pathos. Not a few had to be supported by parents, or frlenjs, and the sad feature of the procession from the train to the hotel, where din- rrer was served, was the large number of girl and boy cripples. "I took these crutches with me.' said one little fellow, a son of a Kill aloo farmer, "hoping I should leave them nt the shrine of the Lary of I.ourdcs. But I could not do so." "of ciinrse, we do not take any no tice of the partial cures," said Ihe priest, "for It Is often the case after the' person has returned home that u relapse occurs " One young woman cried bitterly during the whole of the dinner, nnd said tearfully: "I am In greater pain than when I left for Lourdes." This young woman had both legs para lyzed. Indianapolis News. BONDS AT POPULAR SALE, (From the Milwaukee Journal.) Chicago offered an issue of $1,800, 000 of 4 per cent bonds directly to the public, but sold only 122.0(1(1 worth the first day. The Chicago authori ties bungled the whole plan by fixing tho denomination of the bonds at the high figure of 11000. ft. Paul's experience threw aome strong light on JiiRt how such an Is sue can be moved easily. The demand from those who wanted 110 to 1200 worth of rltv IsHiies was verv heavy and extensive The sales at Ft.

Chicago sold $22,000 worth of the cumbersome $1000 Ishui-h In a single day. If Chicago will give the people half a chance, they will buy bonds, even if they earn only 4 per cent, which ls lower than the regular Interest rate, but higher than the Interest paid b savings banks. Bonds thut are to be sold to the people should be in small denomina tions. It would have taken no pro phet to predict In advance the failure of the Chicago Issue. CAM KB A FOB JIIX.IM; HACKS. (Scientific American.) An automatic photographic appa ratus for Judging races has proved successful In France, nnd will be used at the next Paris International race meeting. A camera Is placed In line with the winning post, and the win ning horse, by breaking a thread, re leases 'tho electrically controlled shut ter, and a photograpr of the finish ls taken. A similar device was used at the last Olympic games at Stockholm but there the photographs were chief ly used lis additional evidence in case of a disagreement between the Judges. OIVINU NICKI.KS tX)K PKNMIX (From the New York Tlrrfes.) An Ingenious some will fear too In genlous parson down In St. LouIr has devised, us a means of increasing the size of his Sunday school, the plan of giving to each boy and girl who goes to It a bright new buffalo nickel In exchange for any old penny. In the days of old these pretty lines were taught to a good many little boys nnd by them recited with touching elo quence: O how we love the Sunday school, Sister and 1, sister and I, And, be the weather foul or fair, Each Sunday morning we'll he there In lime to hear the opening prayer Sister and I, sister nnd I. Nothing In thut about tolling 'em In by giving nickels for pennies. It was love that brought them, accord ing to confidently trusted theory, nt least, nnd love Is Justly celebrated ns a fine motive perhaps the best of nil While claiming no authority ns ex perts, we yet venture the assertion' that the ingenious St. Louis parson Is making a mistake.
