THE B0V8 FROM 0. A. C
, La Grande and vicinity last evening
filled the Steward theatre to hear the
O. A. C. Mandolin and Glee clubs. The
bunch of boys who came as represen
tatives of one of the great schools of
the coast .laid no claims to being mu
sicians, no, no, they are far too use
ful in this world to fool their time
away on, a mandolin or guitar, but realized once more they have a coun
tickling and a little singing and trom
bone work to season up the regular
study diet. They teach patriotism
down there also, which is not . to, be
overlooked. And when the great fin
ale of the show was pulled last even
ing and the young huskies sang '.'The
Star Spangled Banner" and the Amer
ican (lag swung down from the ceil
ing, why, that scene alone was worth
the price of admission. It. could not
be measured in money for, it' had an (
effect on everyone present. Old men
who had liot'saluted the flag for many
months, ..women who had hot looked
at a flag since the Fourth of July
small children who had never heard
the patrfgtic story of blood and tears
and heartaches caused to make "Old
Glory" stooil and saluted the old em

XUE RECALL F JUDGES.

down fit Corvallie working to' learn In
order that they may be men of Oregon.
And they represent a school that no
one must underrate, It is a fine place senator lOllliu Root's denial of the
"for a boy Or fl girl. They teach the 1 wisdom of incorporating a recall of
common things in life down at Cor- ijurtges In state constitutions w''l meet
- - - the ideas of many who have viewed
with feelings aklu to nofror the grow
ing agitation for a closer relationship
betwen the courts and the people and
the impatience which has been mani
fested because of some court deci
sions. His expression also wiil coin
cide with the views of the conserva
tives who believe that tho curts' uu
der the present system represent the
bulwark of liberty and who are of the
opinion that tho recall of judges will
result In inobocracy nd the appeal of
passion- overriding the sane judgment
of the people.
Senator Hoot points out the dan
gers, 11s he sees them, in providing a
reoull of judges. llo says
"Upon the preservation of the law
as It is at every moment in its course
of continuous change and dovelop-
ilepeiid the preservation of order, the
prevention of anarchy,' the perpetuity
of free institutions, the continuance
of liberty 'and justice, matters of In
finitely greater concern than all the
new proposals which excite the activ
ity and controversy of parties and po
litical leaders, of critics, and reform
ers. If this view 1a to be changed and
the decisions of our courts are to be
considered In the same way and upon
the same presumptions, and with no
greater respect for authority than in
the case of political opinions, tbe au
thority of the court will inevitably de
cline, the Independence of the judicial
branch will cease, judicial, decision
will interpret the law alwsy to suit
the majority of the moment, and the
recall will be the natura and logical
expression of the relation to be as
sumed between.' the . people . and the
COUrtS. ' ' 1 '
There is no doubt that courts In
years gone by have given decisions
