Williams, of fort - aland, in a rvcvni address JuJore t(i6 law school of tlie Oregon State .University .advocated in very able maimer the abolition oil lie system ol trifl by jurv Prom his long experience upon tl (bench lis was able to cite numerous in stances of tlie fallibility of juries ami absurdities that are made part of the lav in rejwrd to their selection. It May to do this, as endeavoring to pro tect the rights o( aroused iwrsons the .extreme has been reached ami the right ol society have been violated. It 13 .together too difficult to convict a criiui nul, partly because of the abuse of the jury system ; but mainly because of the system of practice that does everything ,to conceal the truth, and enables the .criminal's attorney, by interposition of frivolous objection, to exclude testimony tlint would throw light upon thecircuui stances surrounding the commission of a crime. Trial by jury was, as Judge 'Williams .says, instituted for the purpose of pre venting acts of oppression upon the .common people by an arbitrary govern ment and privileged classes, but we do not agree with his conclusion that there f i no longer danger of such oppression even in the united Mates. The power of money can be exerted more effect ually upon a judiciary appointed tor life or even upon a judge elected for a term of years, than upon the general public It jli within JudgeWilllams recollection that the election of a Supreme Judge of the iitate of Oregon hinged upon the prob- .abledeciaion that would be rendered in M certan case, and be doubtless remera bers that the State chairmen of the two great parties, both representing one side of the cose, conspired ngainet Judge Waldo to secure the election of Judj ,Ktralian. II we abmwoi) the jury system and place our rights entirely in ,the hands of judge, whether elective or appointive, it will make matters much easier for the criminal tich, as it w:ll 1 nable them to purchase the only body i'xaX. will stand between tlitin and the uecompliahment of their designs Judges are but mortal, and while uianv of them are incorruptible, and there n To others who are venial, and still others wtio by training and envoirment are iiased toward the forces against w hich the President of the United States is making a gallant struggle. How mucl cuance wouia me government stnnu in the proiicution of the trusts if it had to depend upon the judiciary alone? - The judge cites the fact that since 1SS5 jtherehave been 131,051 murders and Jiomicides and only 2296 executions, and we suppose this is intended as an argument agaiiift the jury system; but it does not appear that this was allio getuer the fault of the jury system. The system of technicalities that have become a part of criminal practice may have bad ninch to do with it, In our Recollection Oregon juries have not fail ed to do their duty in murder cases, and the cause for so many failures to .convict is not properly placed upon our juries. There are many cases where juries might be dispenred with and the right of challenge might be abridged ; but we do not believe the people are ready to abandon the system, or that they would he benefited by sodoing. "THE FOOJ, IS WISE IN HIS OWN CONCEIT." The brethren of the country press of Oregon, who as a rule have been deprived of the advantages of a course in college journalism, and have te.-n compelled to ,ui uo me uei mey coma 10 tatisiy tne ; desire of their subscribers for news and mental pabulum are to be congratulated that after so many years wandering with out guidance Uiey at last have in their number one whose superiority raises him so far above tlie common herd of prov incial pencil pushers that be has been recognized by the Orcgonian as the mod el country editor, to whom all the rest of the lxys should look up as their guide aid mentor. Sir. Bennett, of Rabbit--ville, has taken upon himself the duty of telling his less able brothers just how they should run their little papers in or der to entitle them to his commendation. A few of Mr. Bennett's gems of wisdom are worth reproducing: --nowMiay. says air. liennett, "we find the intelligence of the average coun try publisher Lclow the intelligence of lis readers." Oh, modest and courteous bunny; peeking out of your little burrow to tell your superiors how to conduct their busi ness. When Mr. Bennett tires of be littling hiscontcmporaics in the business lie devotes the rest of his long article to phijiiig Bosworth to his own Johnson, and literally bespatters himself with unc tions praise. If fcgot)m Is an judication f greatness then Mr. Bennett is, indeed, pie Nestor of his profession. But it is jKissiblu that Mr. Bennett is mistaken, iind instead of being truly great, he has ( lily rubbed up against greatness and im agines that he has absorbed it. Fre quent visits to Portland and complete adoration of the prcat men of that port have turned the little rabbit's head and 1 e imagines himself called to instruct tilers us to the best manner of conduct ing their Liiiiness. .11- Unnptt is opposed to the use cf IT ISA MATTER OF HEALTH AbsoJutefy PurO THERE IS K3 SUBSTITUTE what is known as "patents," claiming that country papers should not endeavor give any but local news. As a matter fact, not one out of twenty of the Mist's subscribers take a daily paper, and the patents" give them the earliest infor mation they have of the doings of the outside world. The Mist's "patent' to day contains robably a hundred news iiems condensed from the great dailies. and in no other way would it be possible for a paper in a small community to give its readers the information necessary I Ifiep thtin abreast with enrrent history The "patent" reaches us- Wednesday evening, and if anything of great impor tance happens between Tuesday evening and press time Thursday we can cull it from Thursday morning's daily and give it to our reuder.

It is a matter of pride to every citizen of Oregon that Mr. P. A. Frakes, an old resident of Columbia, who is thorough!) idcniilied with the county's interest, the chief figure at the exposition's great stock show, and out of a clas of lour teen entries' of his Holstein cattle bur taken thittccn prizes, including the goh medal for ae bull, gold medal for a; cuw, and diploma on two year old bull This was done in competition with tli best herd in the United Stales, that o John B. Irwin, of Minneapolis, who car ried off the trst honors at St. Louis The importance of this triumph for Co. umbla County's dairy cattle interests it- hard to overestimate. It means an eve increasing stream of wealth to the brie . erand an excellent advertisement for th. County, if the proper advantng-j is take: of i. Therefore ve congratulats Mr Frakes on his victo-y and hope his eha-i ow will never grow less. But Mr. Frakc is not nljtia aa representative of th. breeding interests of this county.

COLUMBIA'S- HOLSTEINS. (Oregoalui.) There was not such a crowd yesterday to see the finale of the cattle-judging. Bnt the group of families dealt with were full of interest. The family likenes-es came out very strongly, and also in some ras- s a family was penalized bv S'Hiie weak member. After the judging ws ,.1.. ,1.-1 ... f.,- .t,- CI l . concerned, one 01 the ludg-s made a pleasant little speech of acknowledg ment ti exhibitor no I teir berdmen for uniform courtesy and compliance with requests. The he.uty response showed that, although there might 1 soreness here and there when some fav orite had not carried off the blue ribbon. yet there was no serious dissatisfaction with the awards. Going around the stalls afterwards and taking count of the prize winners and their neighbors less fortunate, one deduction was plain. in raising luorougnored stock it 1 only the test classes that pays and then and then only when it is made a business. Hardly ever is there a solitary prizewin ner, rnc nobonsgo to the large exhibit. So there is small temptation for any but wealthy people to cuter the lists. Then does it not pay to raise thoroughbreds? L'nqestionably it does, for excellence in b'.ood stands for results in pocket. mere lore me sale, 01 which announce ment is made today, in the show ring, should be taken fullest advrntage of to disperse these animals far and wide. To every rule there are exceptions. Frakes' Wreat TIctory. ine man wno exuiniteu l-i animals in the Holstein class and won 13 prizes, in- eluding the championship for cows, over the celebrated herd of Jonh B. Irwin, of Minneapolis (who carried off the first honors at St. Louis) is such an exception. Chatting with Mr. Frakes, of Scnppoose, Oregon, who is - the lucky man in question, I found one who for 17 years, had been following bis ideal in Holstein cattle, not with an eye to the show ring ind blue ribbons but because the more highly-bred the animal the more money came back to the owner through the utile pail, fhc champion cow was not int m Km...h a 1 U t & - ...
