R. 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

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

Mrs. Baker, who will become one of
the Cabinet hostesses, is a woman of
much force and charm. She is great

moment when official word came
from Washington that her hiusband
had been named Secretary of War,
and when Mr. Baker himself was en

Mrs. Baker was appearing an the po
lice court in a case against a grocer

TRUTH SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
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
