The' committees recently appointed
to arrange for the second Annual
Strawberry Festival, which will be
held In this city on May 12, 13 and
14, met In joint session at the Rose
burg Commercial Club rooms last
night. The greater part of the eve
ning was consumed In discussion
and it. was not until late that the
body adjourned. Several of those
originally appointed on the com
mlttees sent word that they would
be unable, to act, and accordingly
the vacancies wore filled by other
wide-a-wake citizens. Although no
programme has as yet been arranged
the committees exoect to have the
same in readiness soon, at which
time glaring posters will be printed
and distributed throughout Southern
Oregon. As a culmination of last
evening's session members of the sev
eral committees are now conversant
with their duties and will commence
arranging for the event at once. Con
siderable money will be needed In
defraying the expense of the festi
val, but the committee In charge of
soliciting anticipate litle difficulty In
raising the required amount Inas
much aa everyone appears to he tak
ing an active Interest In making It
a banner occasion, In arranging
the programme the committees In
tend to use every precaution to pre
vent Jdle moments, believing that
the crowd should be entertained from
the very time they arrive In tho city
until the last gun Is fired on the
closing night. Another meeting of
the committees will be held soon, at
which time further plans will be out
lined. As usual the ladies are tak
ing a great Interest, and expect to
spring a number of genuine sur
prises on the men at the opportune
time. Briefly, the event will be a
hummer and should be attend'-d by
every public spirited person in Doug
las county.

she has never heard of. Mrs.- E. W.
Roberts, of this city, has establsh-
ed a successful fasting record which
has probably never been equaled ill

cured herself of nervous prostra

ing is the extreme limit gone by
Mrs. Roberts, hut alio declares she
has often fasted from throe to eight
days without the slightest Inconven
ience. This wonderful woman admltB that
she feels ravenoiiB hungry during the
first and second days of the fast,
but after that all Is plain sailing,
and so thoroughly Imbued Is she
with the benefits to be derived that
she hns Influenced her frlenilB to
make short tesls of the fast cure to
secure relef from llieir Ills. Mrs.
Itoberts says Hint I here Is no bet

system than to go without food for
a long period, for the body lieconi"s
thoroughly rested and the digestive
organs regain their loss strength.
During her fust, Mrs. Roberts drank

SELF-SAVIXH POLITICS.
Contemptible Speck's of Political Fnv
oi-ltlsiii, snys Senator Abi'ahani.
The following communication ap
pears In this morning's Oregonlun
from Senator Abraham, of tnis city
pointing out, us he says a new "bpo-
ccieB of political ravoruism mni
seems to thrive bust,"
I have observed that the Multno
mah county bar Is now agitating the
judiciary, and think mat tne J mil
clary of Oregon 1b not Buffering so
much at present from partisansnii
proposition of having a nonpartisan
as it is from sen-scrving- ponticB.
Partisanship on tho bench Is dead
or at least dormant. In Oregon, nil
thore has grown up an oven mor
insidious and much moro contempt
Ible spesle of political favoritism
that seems lo thrive best, with Judge
elected from the minority parties.
Thrown on their own personal po
litical resources, Instead of tho evil
of partisanship only V, occasionally
manifesting Itself, tho entire term
for which some are elected, Beem
to become a cainpnlgu for the nex
election. This would be unohjoc
lloiinhlc if it was based upon a con
scientious desire to make a good rec
ord, but, unfortunately, human nu
ture Is frail whether tho judge li
selected by party or by Indlvldua
effort, and the "hay-making" tha
Is done on the bench during his term
of office by a ' non-pnrtlBan Is th
same good, old-fashioned occupation
of catering to Influence and discard
ing weakness cultivating the good
opinion of the rich and- powerful, of
the many rather than tho few, ever
nllylng wllh power, regardless
right. In short, consciously, tryin
to make each word, act, and decision
count for personal pollticnl aggrand
Izment. by the ordinary political
methods. A litigant without the,
political substance In sight has about
as much show to win with one of
these "non-partisans" as Dr. Cook
haB to get a medal from Congress.
The same reason that prompts Hie
judge who is weak enough to be par
tisan prompts Hie "non-partisan" to
he political. But this Is to be said

In favor of the so-called partisan aa
betwoen the two. While the Judge
who Is a partisan only shows this
wcnknesB occasionally, and the oc
casions are comparatively few, the
professional politician on the bench
is eternnlly at his favorite occupa
tion. Furthermore, partisanship
being really a dead Isbuo at present
nt least, and the other a live one
the bar should ho Interesting Itself
with Homethlug real instead of theo
retical. It Is laughable, If not pntheile, to
see the bar up In arms over thla
fancied danger of partisanship, de
fendng the "non-partisan" judges,
when It Is a notorious fact that thre'o
fourths of tho "non-pai'tlsans" poli
tical capltnl Is riiade by cultivating n
semblance of hospitality toward hla
own chosen profession, encouraging
the popular prejudice against lawyers
nf which he probably was one of the
most reprehensible before he became
Infallinle by virtue of being Judge,
nnd laying the blame of his own mis
takes on the Innocent shoulders of
tho bar.
I do not desire to discourage tho
bar from assisting some of these
"non-partlsnn" politicians. In fact.
I would nnve them glvo the widest
advertisement 'possible to the fnct
Hint (he hnr wanted them for Judges.
The- confidence the general .Juhlio
has in. their judgment In such mnt
ters, which has been bo careully
ninlntnned by their friends, the "non
partisans" will do the rest.
