King is the high card. He oneo was one of Eastern Oregon's prom inent Democratic sons. That waa when he lived in Ontario. But he shook the dust of our country from his feet and removed to Walla Walla where he Ihad stationery printed and took up his residence. A vacancy oc curred on .the Supreme bench and Governor Chamberlain yanked King across the state line long enough to whisper in his ear that tihere was "an office open." No further tip was necessairy for the wiley William. An interview appeared wherein he swore his allegiance to "Oregon, my Ore gon" and he was rewarded with a seat on .the cushions of the Supreme bench. Then came the non-partisan judiciary campaign inspired and handled King. But the pup did not know its mammy and refused to imbibe of the lacteal fluid. King was a down and outer. He wandered over the state doing a little politics now and then and secured the national committeemanship of his party. Then came the success of Wilson. In (the meantime through the people's laws Mr. Easterly was named na tional committeeman, the place oc cupied by King, hut the latter refused to move his corpulent self from the trough. He knew Democratic victory meant the carving of the pie and he stuck tighter than a marrying widow. Kin? dispensed the pie a part of it at least. All of .these things men tioned might have been transgression of the Golden Rule of politics, but that was not the worst, not by any means. For now comes William, who in the meantime has been provided with a swell job wfherein he can do as he pleases ana visit wow York as often as he chooses, and says, "I am a resi- tend the national convention as a mere fpectator and not clad with an East ern Oregon badge. , ABOUT THE NEW WAR SECRETARY. The New York Times tells a few things about the new war secretary that will be interesting. Among otn er things the Times says: Baker has been called a dreamer, and would probably be p.bout the last one to denv the impeachment. But he has had the savage grace of be ing able to make his dreams come true. H wns elected Mavor in 1911, largely on the promise that he would buna a great mumcipui eiwinc-uKnv plant to compote with the. local light ing monopoly, ms menus mhu ho could not do it. He did St, however, and the plant is today so well estab lished that no party would suggest either its sale or abandonment. Home rule for cities was a dream of Bnkar. Johnson, and others. John son would probably never have been able to get through his work for years constituted a broad foundation on which his followers have built. This mnn who drives his own Ford car, who sits on his foot, and smokes a small, black brier is the friend of every one. He is never itoo busy to stoo on t)he street for a chat He pro bably calls more men by their given names than any other man in Ohio. and no one so hailed ever considers it more familiarity. . The frivolous side of Washington life will have no appeal to the Bakers. Mr. Baker became somewhat familiar with official circles as secretary to Postmaster-General Wilson, Shut he prefers the quiet home-circlei Mrs. Baker was Miss Elizabeth Leopold, of Pottstown, Pa. The couple were married in 1902, and have three small children Jack.Peggy, r.nd Betty whoso very names suggest the har- Is Around $20.00 to $27.50 Want to Pay for a New Spring Suit?

She is great ly interested iin civic matters. At the moment when official word came from Washington that her hiusband had been named Secretary of War, and when Mr. Baker himself was en gaged in a lawsuit in another court, Mrs. Baker was appearing an the po lice court in a case against a grocer charged witlh selling rotten eggs.

From Pittsburg comes to our desk the Alleghenian, "The pnperf that (lures print the truth." Wo confess to having our suspicion aroused when ever a paper brags thus about its courage in veracity. Not infrequently the boast conceals some ulterior pur pose. We do not charge that this is so in tho present instance; but th"! truth usually speaks for itself, and tho public is nble to discover very soon whether a newspaper is courag eous and sincere in its utterances. Moreover truth is relative. No man and no newspaper, however brave, is free from that human bias which ' Pendleton's postmaster's salary has been raised another hundred.
