Write Commercial Club, enclosing 6 acta for postage on finest community ynmnici ever wnuec nr JL "iisspinhlv" of its own to nominate instiees of tbe ..- -.. supreme court. A "non-partisan" bench is presumably the object of the gathering, and as politics cut no ice, a wide range of candidates is possible. As only the highest type of man as woll as lawyer is wanted, the choice, becomes narrowed down to very few. Indeed, when the field is looked over with a microscope there seems to be only one man prominent enough to bo honored as chief justice only one who measures up to full Gulliveriau stature among the Liliputians of the bar. The distinguished jurist to whom reference is made is a resident of the capital city. His view is as broad and liberal as that of some members of the present supreme court. Ho believes the state of Oregon was made for Sa lem's benefit and that those sections so unfortunate as to be outside of the city limits should be thankful to pay taxes to support state institutions located there, so that the Salem hog may continue to root in peace among the money sacks of the treasury.. Like some of the present supreme bench, this protector of the public morals also believes that there is one law for one part of the state and another law for another part. He consistently opposes progress, and Cicero was never so eloquent against Cataline as he is against those who would develop Oregon. Moreover, as adviser to President Taft, he has purified the moral atmosphere of federal patron age. - r I si It is scarcely necessary to name this brilliant luminary of the law, auy more than it is to bestow a cognomen upon the luminary of the heavens. So it is with a feeling born of confidence, of the acceptance of the suggestion that we place before the lawyers "assembly" for their considera tion, without demurrer, the name of Oregon's peerless reformer, whose mind is as pure as Salem city water, whose record is as clean as the beds in Salem's celebrated hotels, this cake of Ivory soap (99 41-100 per cent pure) floating in the dirty dishwater of politics, the Honorable L. H. McMahan of Salem. INDIAN WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGON (From J. C. Waiting's History of Southorn Oregon.) SELF-COMPLACENCY. AINT IT THE TRUTH? Some fools there were, aud thoy played tuoir stack (Even as j'ou and I), On a largo white man to defeat a black (We called him the man with the deadly whack!) But the fools now know lie could never come back (Even as you and I). Oh, tho timo wo spent and the thoughts wo lent And the weight of the gold we lack Belong to tho Jeffries who did not know (And now we know that he never could know) Ho never could como back. Somo fools thoro were, and their goods they spent (Even as you and I) ; Eeno and keno tho paco they went (And it wasn't tho least what they thought it meant) ; But a fool must follow his natural beat (Eveu as you and I). Ob, the sleep wo lost and the dough it cost And the excellent things we planned Belong to tho Jeff who could never como back (And now we know ho could never come back) ; Yes, now we understand. And it isn't tho shame and it isn't the blame That stings like a red-hot tack; It's coming to know ho never know why (Seeing at lust he could nevor know why) The deuco ho couldn't come back. S. P.

So Dr. Dee has appealed for congrulty If not harmony. -satis- the highway of life, never feeling the bumps. Conceit forms an impenetrable armor on which the slings and arrows of adversity fall harmless. Its proud possessor has the first qualification for success, it gilts him to look resplendent while he shouts his own praises to an admiring, unthinking world. It is true that some danger lurks in too much self-admiration. A beautiful youth of the olden time named Nar cissus is reported to have been so enamored of his own loveliness as reflected in the placid waters of a pool that he fell in and was drowned. But even such an untimely fate has its compensations, for the gods, ever kind to such, changed Narcissus into a flower. But such a rate is rare. No pool is ever quite so deep as self-satisfaction. History is full of examples showing how, by the exer cise of unlimited conceit, men have made for themselves a shrine where the uninitiated worship. Even today those bold enough to proclaim themselves Messiahs have no lack of dsiciples. The late Cref field and his holv roller cult showed that nothing is too absurd to command a follow ing, providing the hero sounds the cymbal and beats the drum, while brazenly proclaiming his vanity. Most interesting of the heroes that stalk through the pages of fiction and drama are those who so loudly bragged of themselves. There is Falstaff, vain of his courage; and Pecksniff, proud of his virtue, and many another whose self-satisfaction makes them as startlingly true to life today as when they were created in the minds of the mas ters. Most recent of the heroes of the drama is our friend "Chanticleer," Rostand's creation, who thinks his early morning cock-a-doodle-do summons the day and set in motion all the machinery of the earth. So sure is Chanti cleer in his conceit that he convinces the barnyard host of his importance, like many a human rooster who proudly crows of his achievements, in causing the sun to rise. ' Never mind the copybook precepts; they are for chil dren. Modesty, dwells, shrinking, in the shadow, while self-admiration is brass that reflests the glory of the heav ens. Virtue is ever its own reward, but the world heaps its riches on the self-laudatory. What though the judicious grieve? The people like it and the people pay the freight. Cnptniu Bob Williams, stationed with his company on the banks of lioguo rivor, during tho armistice was not too bravo and magnanimous to attempt to kill two children, tho sons of Chief Joes but Qenural Imnc, with tho utmost haste, ordered his re moval from the locality to another, whoro thoro would bo loss opportun ity for tho exorcise of his propensi ties. Wo have tho evidence of no less an authority than Judge Dendy to prove that a fearful outrage was perpetrated at Grave crook after tho nrmistiuo was agreed upon. Uu writes: "At Grave crock I stopped to feed my horso and get something to eat. Thoro was a houso Uiore called the Bates house, after tho man who kept it. It was u rough, wooden structure without a floor, aud had an immense clapboard fuuuol nt ono end, which served us n chimney. There was no house or settlement within ten or twelve miles moi of it. Thcro I found Captain .1. 1C. Lnmcr iek in command of a company of volunteers. It scorns he had been seat there by General Lane after tho fight at Battlo creek, on account of tho murdor of some Indians there, of which ho and others gave tho fol lowing acceunt: "Bates and others had induced a small party of peaceable Indians who belonged in thnt vicinity to enter into an engagement to remain at peace with tho whites during tho war which was going on at some distance from them, and by way of ratification to this treaty, invited them to partake of a feast in an unoccupied log house just across the road from the Hates house, and while thoy were partak ing, unarmed, of, this proffered hos pitality the door was suddenly fas tened upon them and they were de liberately shot down through the crncks betweon the logs by their treacherous hosts. Near by, and probably n quarter of a mile this side of the creek, I was shown a largo, round hole into which tho bodies of these murdered Indians hod been un ceremoniously tumbled. 1 did not see them, for they wero covered with fresh enrth." not known that the guilty parties woro over brought to justice. -Indeed, thoro is a certain presumption that they were not. An incident hearing somewhat up on this question is worthy of-uneu-tion, though it occurred somewhat outside of tho region suppoced to hu covered by tho Lane treaty. On Jan uary 'J8, 1851, u small party of arm ed men from tho Randolph mines, in Coos county, went to a rnnohorin, at tacked the Indians and killed 15, as far as is known, without provocation. The next day the minors passed a law providing that whosoever should sell or give any gun, rifle or pistol to Indians should, for the first of fense, receio.lH) lashes, and for tho second offense should suffer death. Meeting considerable adverse crit icism for thoir attack upon the help less aud unarmed creatures nt the rauchcria, those men next proceeded to hold a meeting aud pass resolu tions, one maintaining that the In dians at tho time were on the eve of an outbreak, and another congratu lating themselves on their bravery! The whole absurd proceedings aro contained in a lotter written by one of the assailants to the Oregon Statesman of contemporary date, and in tho report of the bureau ot Indian affairs for IS.")

It does not require the thorouc.li investigation to which the records of these events havovbcen subjected by tho writer to determino conclusively that whilo the whites as a class were content with tty trenty and obedient to its provisos, there was a consid erable minority who lost no opwr tuuity to manifest their contempt of the instrument nnd their disregnrd of its obligations. Nor were the In dians idle. As soon as the report of tho killings at Grave creek, at Apple gate and other places, had been bruited nbroad, and the natives had become convinced that thoy wero in dividually in us much danger as be- The Van Dyke Realty Co.
