man, so do not worry about it.
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

coming to get homes, go into busi
ness and become citizens of Eastern
Oregon.
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. He knows the game and us
ually has nerve enough to play It. He
does not expect to find paradise on
this earth, for he is willing to ac
cept conditions as they are and is
ever ready to place his shoulder to
.the wheel "of 'advancement. .- .
' Come on, ye men of nerve and phy
sical endurance who made the mad
rush for homes in the new state. Ore
gon wants you; she needs you badly
and. Is willing to pay a premium for
your kind of men.

According to press" dispatches to

called upon fc furnish a new con

SUPREME COURT WORK.
How the justices 'Prepare Deeiaiona
and Dissenting Opinions.'
On Saturday ereulng em-h Justice re
celves from the chief Justice nn en
velope containing the mimes of the
cases the chief Justice litis decided to
allow the justice to write tue opinions
on. and the chief Justice also notifies
the Juntkes of the Imur of the confer
ence on Monday cior.ilr.tr. The confer
ences nre. usually hold In the confer
ence room under locked doors.,'" The
chief Justices-presides, and cases are
taken up or postponed according to the.
wishes of the Justices or their rendl
ness to eousiden'jhem. 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. If mil
the dissatisfied Justice will promptly
write a dissenting opinion. In sunie
Instances four of the Justices have
each written a dissenting opinion., but
the usual custom Is for one to write
It and announce that the others con
cur. ' . ' "
Before a case is reached for argu
ment the Justices familiarize them
selves with Its records and briefs, and
when one is directed to write the opin
ion he makes a study of the case, long

may take a'few days or months. 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. If there be n
dissenting opinion the Justice writing
the dissent reads It and announces the
names of the justices who concur with
him. Afterward the official -reporter
of the court sends a verified copy of
the opinion to the publishers of the
United States supreme court reports,
and the case finally becomes one of

The Secluded Duchess.
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. "She promptly told me to
button the top button and let the oth
ers slide, explaining that they would
not show when I had put on my coat"

The meager twenty-sevn.' Demo

will be missed at the next session of
congress.. Chief among these, Is Ad
pm M. Byrd, of Mississippi Hi is one
of the members who have Indian blood
in their veins and Is famous for his
picturesque speech;. Wm. Wlllet,
Jr., is another, best remembered for
hU erHct'nent.'. the English, lan
guage in that famous speech against
President Roosevelt,' whom he de

another famous dinner given on the
same night of the aforesaid speech.
Willet has not poped into print In his
two yeajr's service.
By all odds "Jim" Tawney will be
most sorely missed In the next Con
gress. He is a perfect walking ency
clopedia of information as to gov
ernment Ananas. He knows more
aboutthe theory of this government
than any man in Congress. He ha3
accomplished wonders in safeguard

Tawney for an Important government
position.
