Quite a movement is on foot to add two more supreme justices and increase the salary of all ofthem to $7500 per year. Then Oregon would have seven justices costing each $7500 per annum, and all the circuit judges would want a raise, too. At present prices of potatoes and spare ribs it is impossible to see how a supreme justice can be doled out on $5000 a year. Unless the supreme court is enlarged there are several law yers who will be in the painful dilemma of not having a regular salary. The laboring man, who, in winter, does well if he gets in two days in the week at two dollars per day, he can live high on that. His family may even have fifteen cents to spend for Christmas presents on his magnificent income. The legislature should heed the distressful cry of the poor and downtrodden officialism of Oregon, and give relief. To enact laws to help the poor devil who earns four dollars a week for three of the worst months of the year is folly. Besides this is a Republican legislature, and what is the party for but to create more jobs and fatter salaries for the favored ? THERE IS A LIMIT TO TAXATION. At least there should be, even for the support of schools. The annual report of Salem district shows that four and a half mills tax will be required next year. With valuations more than doubled this means a tax rate of ten mills on the old valuations. The custom of the school district has been to order whatever the school management and the school board asked for. But is that wise when there are indications that a few lean years are ahead, in the natural order of things? Taxation can be driven to a point where it will block the devel opment of the, community. . We do not expect to see any change in the demands of the school management, and the people will probably vote what they ask. , Few persons attend the annual school meetings, and those few are generally of the kind who say don't economize on education. - But the limit will have to be established some time, and it might as well be understood that this is not a good time for ex pansion. Salaries are not going up among other classes of labor, and the governmental function should not require constant advances in pay. THE FELS FUND AND OREGON. It has been published that the Fels fund, some $15,000, left by an Eastern millionaire, was used to fasten the new initiative measures on the people of Oregon. A few men like Mr. U'Ren and a People's Power League can do wonders pushing reforms with a fifteen thousand-dollar cam paign fund furnished by some non-resident millionaire. The Prohibitionists also receive thousands of dollars from non resident millionaires interested in the moral welfare of the peo pleand to keep their minds off Standard Oil iniquities. There should be a law to prohibit campaign contributions by high-minded and unselfish millionaires who can always find min isters ready to enlighten the people at so much per enlighten,. They can change the courts, impose the single tax, do any old thing they take a notion with fifteen thousand dollars to pay the bills, and there will be reformers ready to take their money. o HOW SHALL THE REPUBLICANPARTYGOVERN OREGON The Oregoniun takes us to task for saying tiie Republican par ty does not govern Oregon. Ordinarily in representative and parliamentary forms of gov rnment the majority party when in power does govern. The majority party ordinarily has policies and has leadership and there is party coherency and party discipline. It is not the province of a little country paper to read the Oregonian a lecture on management of party politics. This paper warned the Republicans not to go into the business of holding a nominating or "suggesting" convention. It triod to do this kindly and to say that Direct Primary Re publicans should not be driven out of the party. But wiser or foolisher councils prevailed and Direct Primary Republicans were told that they must even keep out of the as nemblies. All these matters are undent history, and the Oregonian ques tion now recurs, how thull the Republican party govern Ore gon? A better way to put it would be to ask how shall the Republi can party proceed to govern itself J The Oregonian is mistaken inassuming that there is any gloom on the countenance of Col. Hofer. He went through the campaign sweet-tempered in spite of be ing made the subject of vile newspaper mud-slinging. By becoming a candidate he avoided all responsibility for what took place In the pretence of a party organization. He was able to make over a hundred uddresses all over the state, warning the people against the evils of state-wide prohibi tion. This was a question which all the other alleged politicians were Bad? Going to neglect your hair until it leaves you? Going to neglect your dandruff until you are bald? Certainly not Then con sult your doctor.- Ask him about Ayer's Hair Vigor. It never stains or changes the color of the hair, tTtR strenuously dodging, and which the pretence organization dodged The Prohibitionists went into the campaign claiming twenty one dry counties, and came out of -it with about fiv dy counties. It is not a cause for gloom for the only alleged politician who did not straddle or evade the biggest issue that was before the people. His policies were endorsed by.the people, and he feels stronger in defeat as a candidate than some others who were successful in evading issues. We congratulate the Oregonian on at least rising to the seri ous consideration of the question which it propounds as follows : What and where is the Republican party? What are its controlling influences and purposes? What has become of its leaders? Has it any leaders? If it has, have the leaders any followers? Somebody, somehow, and at some time should do something to solve the above problems. The greatest difficulty might be to get the Oregonian to stand for the solution.

"Investiga tion toduay of the derailment of pas senger train No. 3 on the Great North ern, which jumped the track near Skykomtsb yesterday, showed that the wreck was caused by a broken rail. The Investigation also brought but the fact that scores of passengers owe thotr lives to the prompt action of Engineers Caldef and Graham, who stopped their engines on the edge of a trestle which spanned a canyon 400 feet In depth.
