ATMOSPHERIC CHANGE
The effects that the present
administration is making to dis
cover and punish wrong doers
in the several governmental de
partments has aroused a feeling
of astonishment among a large
class of the American people
that laws are enacted to be obey
ed by the people, and enforced
by the officials whose duties are
to administer and enforce the
laws. The president of the U S
is charged by section three ar
ticle two of the Constitution of
the United States specifically
with the duty of enforcing the
laws of Congress, as Congress,
the law making power, in our
government makes them bj
placing in that instrument the
emphatic admonition "He (the
president) shall take care that
the laws be faithfully executed"
Neither the President nor any
other officer in the U S has
either the legal or moral right
to hesitate to enforce, or attempt
to enforce any law of Congress
because, in his opinion, the law
is not grounded in good policy,
or its enforcement is contrary
to popular ttotiment. His plain
duty ia to enforce the laws as he
finds them in the Statute books
Congress alone has the legal
right to determine as to the po
lioy, and it alone has the right
to deolare what the will of the
people in the aggrigate is. If a
law ia obnoxious to popular
judgment or Sentiment the
people should demand its repeal
or change by Congress but so
long as they fail so to do the
administrative department is
under a solemn oommand "to
take care that it be faithfully
executed."
There may have been a time
when the people of the U 8 by
their indifference or silence
might have been understood as
being opposed to the execution
of the Public Land laws, the
laws governing corporations or
ibe accountability of high offic
ios. But that time, if it ever ex
isted has passed. If party plat
forms, the utterances of the peo
ple in conventions, in the news
papers or private conversations
means any thing, the people of
today, with the exception of
malefactors, are not only unani
mous in the sentiment in favor
of faithful execution of all laws
but are vigorous "iu their de
mand upon all officials, national
atmosphere is changed, if there
ever was one, that sustained of
ficials in connviing at law break
ing. Malefactors high or low,
who expoct to escape the conse
quences of their acts because
public sentiment in Oregon is
contrary to the faithful execu
tion of the laws will be disap
pointed . Our people desire the
condemnation of no innooent
persons neither do they want
any guilty man to escape and
the stigma be cast upon the
state that we are a set of sympa
thisers with law breaking.
Hundreds of Russian deser
ters have found refuge in Lon
don lately. Most of tbem have
taken to the hawker's trade.

If every tax payer who feels
that it would bean injustice to
divide the county would write
our representatives and senators
to that effect they would receive
such a shower of correspondence
that they would knew which
way the winds blowa with refer
ence to the wishes of the great
majority of the tax payers.
If you believe it a mistaken
policy to divide Grande Ronde

your law makers at Salem to
that effect

benefited by serving the dear

time of office is expired they
