DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 8, 110. FAG IE gBTSTI I 7 """ ' WOODSON T. 8IjATF.lt JimIK' of th,r Supremo Court OiBflulato for lle-rl- c'ioti, four-ycnr lorm, wh(e place In nought by Ht-nry J. Bean, o( Pendleton. With a splendid record on the 9u--preme Bench and the endorsement of the strong non-political judiciary movement to back h'.m, Supreme Justice Woodson T. Slater is asking re-tilectlon for the four-year term. -Judgo Slater is one of the men en domed by the non-political judiciary movement, which seeks to put the supreme court beyond political influ ences. The other three are Judges King, Moore al McBrlde. The non-pollt'cal judiciary move ment wag started .by the Oregon Bar association, which has adopted the modern and progressive idea that the supreme bench of Oregon should lie absolutely freed, from party obli gations and have nothing whatever to da -with politics. Judges Slater, TUoore. McBrlde and King, all i)f them members of the present court, were chosen as the first non-partlsau ticket. The non-polltlcal Judiciary move ment opposes political selections of supreme court judges for many rea sons, among which, are the follow ing: "No Juror can be asked regarding Ills political opinions as a test for Jury service; there is no more rea son for Inquiring Into the politics of a judge as a test of his qualifica tions." "There Is no reason why good Judges should be put off the. bench on account of politics and other judges put In their stead on account -of politics." " "The Supreme Court Is the las: -place that should be used for the purpose of party rewards." " "It Is all Important that the law 'declared by the supreme court shall -not favor part'oular Interests or particular men." Judge Slater, whose cut appears -above; was born at Corvallis. was graduated at the University of Ore gon and was appointed commission' er of the supreme court four years go, and judge of the same court -two years later. Judge Slater's -work on the bench Is as good a rec ommendation as the (act that he Is entirely beyond the reach of political Influence. His legal reputation -earned at the bar has been more than maintained on . the bench, -where the clearness, honesty and ability of his decisions are notewor thy. He has shown an earnestness, Industry and grasp of Intricate law that makes him a most valuable member of the supreme tribunal. "Wbolehearted'support for him Is as sured by the non-political judiciary movement. (P'd Adv.) ..J . - V - I. II.

(Pa.14 advertisement.) SEWERS AND CIVILIZATION GO TOGETHER SALEM'S SYSTEM NOW BEING PERFECTED, WILL BE OF THE FINEST AND WITH CITY OWN ERSHIP OF WATER, MAKES SALEM AX IDEAL RESIDENCE CITY. ... There Is no one thing, perhaps no dozen things, that are as Important to Salem from the point of view of a residence town as a sewer system. Time was when little attention was paid to this subject, but that time is past. The first question asked in connection with town property, by prospective or perspective buyers, Is: "Has the property sewer connec tions? Nine times out of 10 this question precedes the other: "Has It c'ty water? The two are considered Indlspensible. Time was when tho outside closet and the family well were friendly and gossiped over the back fence, as It were, in true neigh borhood style, without quarreling with each other. Now-a-days city water properly safeguarded from contamination. Is a necessary fea ture, and one without which proper ty Is undesirable. ' On the other hand, the lack of a sewer system Is even still more fatal to the sale of property. That Salem made a move forward In contracting for a first class sew er syBtem, Is beyond question. It looks like a big tax, a quarter of a million dollars practically, Just to get a perfect sewer system, but It Is the best spent money the city ever put up. The loss of one child by typhoid If It Is your child would be a greater calamity than the loss of the entire sum of money expended In getting a sewer system. How much sickness they prevent, how much good they do, looked at from a sanitary point of view only, cannot be even guessed at. They resemble salt, as the boy described It: "It's the stuff that makes your potatoes taste bad when you don't put any on." .The principal objection to subur ban residence Is the lack of a sewer system, Water mains precede them since they can be laid much more cheaply and quickly, and the street cars cut off the terrors of distance. Salem's sewer system Is being per fected properly. The mains are large and the territory covered will carry a population many times larg er than it baa at present. It Is all being laid to one general plan; It Is placed deep and the -work on the north side at least, Is being pushed rapidly. In another year, Salem, which now has a fairly good sewer system, will have a perfect one, and so arranged as to be easily reached by any future additions. ' The sewers may be said to be the foundation of the city structure, while the water, system is Its roof. Street cars, telephones, free deliv ery of malls, gas and electricity are the stairways, windows, halls, porches, and utility arrangements. It Is fortunate that with the plan ning of the sewer system, the city has arranged to own Its own wate system. There Is no more reason why it should, as a city, pay some one for its water, than there would be In some one also owning Its sew er system, and laying a tax on prop erty owners for Its use. With a sup ply of pure water which Is assured under city ownership, and with a T FOUNTAINS HOTELS, ON KLCWH(RI Gat the Original and Genuine EIORLIGK'S KY2ALTED (VI ILK The Food Drink for AH Ages IICU BULK, MALT CKAJJI EXTRACT, IN rOWDEI Not in any Milk Trust CCT Insist on "HORLICK'S" Take a package bom Barrels and Kegs We have all sizes, and they are suit able for fish, meat, kraut, cider, vine gar .etc. Prices reasonable. flower Pots We have a comple e stock of all sizes and all shapes, Including banging baskets, azalla pots, feru dlsnes, etc. D.

It Is the most traveled, street lead ing out of the city, with probably the exception of South Commercial; and a month age those who did mat live on the street, hardly knew where It was. During the past year Salem has grown wonderfully, but It has only begun. Civilisation and sewers, are so to speak, hand maidens, with tho sewer the handier maiden of the two. They travel together, with the sewers generally a little in advance, and this being true, when that quar ter of a million dollars has been put In the sewers, Salem will take an other building boom that will only halt when It outbuilds its sewer sys tem. SOLOMON MAY BE WASHED OFF . ALASKA'S MAP nmi6 rssss lsiskd wirs.1 .-.cine, Alaska, Nov. 5. From the faot that no news has reached Nome today, the camp of Solomon located on the Norton sound beach, 23 miles east of Nome, may have been com pletely destroyed by the storm of' yesterday and its Inhabitants, some 60 persons possibly may have per ished. The telephone line between Nome and Solomon was carried out and no word has been received from the camp. In former days Solomon had a population of 600 but It bai dwindled to a small settlement. Merchants whose stocks Vers Inun dated by the rush of water, are busy rehabilitating their establishments.

Manley for mansluaghter, commit ted when Manley bayonetted a man at the time of President Taft's visit here In 1909, the national guard of Texas faces disruption. Captain Kinnard, of the Dallas company, today asked the adjutant general to muster out the entire company, saying that he cannot or der his men to guard duty when they might become subject to con viction by the civil authorities for obeying military orders. . Four officers of the national guard also resigned and It Is feared that the trouble will spread. Manley killed Louis Relchenstetn and was sentenced to serve 99 years imprisonment.

He wins easily any wager he may have laid with the Kaiser, for he spoke in a land with pecul iar Ideas about being born free and equal, about liberty and pursuit of happiness, and about a presidential tenaure ceasing after four years. Again the Kaiser owes his all to mere birth. He Is fortified by pedi gree. He knows only from musty chronicles about long dead and usu ally unsuccessful pretenders to shaky thrones. He lacks the rapture of having first won legitimate domin ion by his own prowess, and then, after personally conducting the In vestiture of bis successor, of starting forth to usurp as a pretender the sub- Portland's Popular Fire-Proof Hotel THE OREGON The House of Comfort Combined Wilh Elegance Our Rathskeller Grill finest dining service In city, with Hawaiian orchestra from 6 to 12 &, m.

Mediaeval barons may have achieved as mj$4s; but it is beyond the kea or the capacity of a modern Kaiser. A titular king Is today, of course, mainly a gilded figurehead. Sup posing that this ancient away was re stored, that he had formally abdicat ed, and then declared to the popu lace. "I shall make the corporations and the mob come to time" and "I shall cinch the crook," would there not be a universal gasp in whatever Zenda or Altrurla the protent hap pened? The exquialte sarcasm, of declaring In the next breath anathe ma upon bosses must make excruci ating the emulous envy of a Kaiser. The Kaiser Is admittedly a good all-round man. His versatility' ranges from architecture down to to-j ology. He not only knows how, but tells how, to an extent 'that vexes even Teuton patience. He M an elo quent apostle of the obvious, ' a preacher of the patent,, an exhorter of undisputed things in solemn way. He has for these many years deliv ered homilies clustering round that ethical trinity, church, children, kitchen. But any Impartial interna tional critlo will award him no more than second place when pitted against "the square deal" and the reiterated virtues that accompany It. The artistic touch of final triumph Is subtly conveyed. It lurks In that casual sentence anent "cinching the crooks' Willheln has at times (dapped offending Irrevent burghers in Jail.

GRIPPEN WILL HANG CRIMINAL COURT OP APPEAL DISMISSED HIS APPEAL HIS ONLY HOPE OP LIFE NOW LIES WITH ffllK HOME 8ECRE TARY. - , . , London, Nov. The court of criminal appeal today dismissed the petition of Dr. H. H. Crlppen for a retrial on a charge of baying mur dered his wife, Belle Elmore-Crlp-pen. ' The decision means that Crip- pen will hang November 8. After hearing - brief arguments, the court decided that there existed no ground for a retrial. Crlppen was calm, though pale, when the de cision was conveyed to him; Only the Interference of the home secretary can now prevent Crlppen's execution. It Is not likely that the clemency of the crown will be ex tended In this case. Crlppen appeared In court with his attorneys to learn bis fate. In granting Crlppen the right to ap peal JuHtlc Ridley ruled that Crlp pen must not appear In court when the appeal was argued. Today Jus tices Darling, Channel! and FIckford overruled Ridley and sent for the prisoner. Crlppen's step was firm but . his Jauntlness of manner bad vanished. He walked steadily to his seat, sad conferred with bis attorneys. Barrister Tobln's plea was that the-trlal Jurors had not been suffi ciently Isolated and that outsiders could communicate with them. Ills plea was overrulod. Tobln then ar gued that the body found In tho Crlppen home In North Londou had not been sufficiently Identified, and that even If it were Identified, there had been adduced no proofs of mur der. Crlppen's attorneys announced that the next step would be an ap peal to the home secretary to com mute the death sentence to one of life Imprisonment or to grunt Crlp pen' a pardon. 'Crlppen evidently had anticipated dismissal of the appeal but when the verdict was announced, dtspslr wns written In his face. lie stood erect but did not speak. Later, af ter being led to Jail under heavy guard, he sat with bis head In his hands, slluntly brooding. Gabriel d'AnniinzIo Is the only llvliiK poet who owes $80,000.
