Is it not Interesting to see the "in surgents" In Congress failing to come across and stand by the Taft recipro city Eueaiure? Yet thus iuiui Inijur gents were loud in their .utterances of criticism for not lowering the' tariff during the campaign. Now they have an opportunity to lower and they fail to stand hitched. What can the poo pie, expect of, such men? ; That re mains to be seen. We need tariff re form and need it badly, but vlun the people cannot get it from ir.en who pledge it In campaign speeches what Is to be done? There is hopv that President Taft will yet force tbeiu in a corner and make them vote for the people's interests. Such plays as "The Gentleman from Mississippi", which was produced last evening at the Steward, do much to elevate mankind and put a prem ium on honesty, Of Its kind it holds the record as being the best ever seen on this circuit The company presenting it were artists 6f high grade and the whni pvMft About the middle of March there Ied wlh excell-nt talent and splendid will be a carload of Oklahoma peo-act,ng " " pie decamp for the Grande Ronde ral- ' ' ' ley and Wallowa county.

In this Btatiment there is a lesson for our home people. Remember, Ok lahoma I: the fastest growing state In the Union. It sprang up as If by magic from a wide prairie to an in tensely Improved community.' People rushed over good land in Kansas and Missouri to settle Oklahoma because the trend of immigration was that way.JThose same people, are coming to Oregon for the same reason. They , are coming because the merits of ,: thia country have been told ttiem and because the tids of immigration" Is . turnedthls way. And Oklahoma people make good , citizens. They assist in developing . any country, and th 3 splendid exper ience they have had in the new state Is beneficial to their efforts in this countryExtend the right hand of fellowship to every man from Ok lahoma.

Each Justice Is furnished wlthn lock book. In which he may eutor the details of a cose, the record of the vote on conference and the final disposition. On a case be ing assigned by the chief Justice to a Justice to write the opinion of the court the opinion when written m..-. be agreeable to the Justices.

The. opinion is dictated, and after being typewritten it Is corrected, boiled down and revised: another copy is then made, further revised and sent to the printer. In order that the com positors whoset the type may not know the decision of the case the foreman sets up the last few lines of the opinion; locks them In a safe, and after the opinion Is net up he adds them to It takes two proofs and for wards them under lock and key to the Justice. It Is again read and revised and sometimes completely altered and returned to the printer, corrected by the latter and nine revises sent to the Justice. If the opinion is now satisfactory to the Justice a copy Is mailed to each member of the court, . These are re turned to the Justice with the nota tions of the Justices, and the opinion is revised or changed, if need be, to con form to -their views. , If there be a dissenting opinion the Justice writing the majority opinion holds it until the uieoeiit is completed. " Then on some Monday, the court be ing In session, the justice announces an opinion lu the case, giving Its num ber and title, and then proceeds to read it at length to the dozen people who may be present.

The Ducbesse du Maine, who held her court at Sceaux during the reign of the regent, was an imperious old lady. One day, according to "A Prin cess of Strategy," when she was ill she complained to the doctor that he was not curing her quickly enough. What was the good, she wanted to know, of compelling her to go without so many things and making her live in seclusion? "But." replied the doctor, "your most serene highness has at pres ent forty people at the chateau!" "Forty or fifty people!" said the du cbesse. "Well, for a. princess that is practically seclusion." Not a Chancol A man told another man a few days ago how he had been buttoning bis wife's dress for five years and finally, in order to even the account, he had a' shirt made to order with sixty-five buttons down the back. "Did you make her button lt?" eagerly inquired the second party, with a glad smile. "I tried to and fell down like slip ping on a banana skin," replied the first party.
