THE OPEN COURT COimEBl'ONDFNTS MOST HUH.MIT THEIR NAMES TO THE EDITOR IP THE DE BIKE LE1TEH8 PRINTED. The job of being chief justice of the supreme court is a big responsibility. Presidents and those who might have been presidents are preferred candidates. The new chief, Charles Evans Hughes, qualifies in more ways than one. No jurist in the country could better fill the shoes of Mr. Taft or better j u,oroughruro of our city. lend the same quality of dignity and respect to the office he vacates. , To the Kdllor: Once again ruin has fallen, nnd tinee again V: avenue la a hoc wallow, both ends miller than the middle.

The world has always been in need of men to do the things that could not be done. The need is as great today as ever. When Columbus started out to sail around the globe men laughed at him and declared it could not be done. Columbus did not succeed, but he proved that the thing could be done. When Samuel Morse started to transmit messages between distant points by means of a private wire people said it could not be done, but Morse proved differently. Fifty years "later Marjoni showed people how to talk through the airwithout Month Good One For Logging In Wallowa County Ily (;. .'. .Meek (Observer t'orrespondent) WALLOWA, Ore.

OIULIUII JJi(llllco uic ul t,uv mijuo' siblcs." George Cheney, amiable editor of the Enterprise Record Chieftain, seems to question the truth 'of temperature re ports from La Grande. "There is much curiosity," he says, "not to say skepticism, about the minimum temperatures reported from La Grande every winter. The public is puzzled to know how it happens that the thermometer stands at zero in La Grande and at 21 below at Island City and Imbler, at 26 below nt Pendleton and 34 below at Elgin. Another oddity is the way Wallowa county temperatures arc read from, La Grande. From that distance a telescope is 1 . the instrument which should be used, not a magnifying glass." George, maybe you're right. It certainly feels colder than it is sometimes. Hut we aren't consciously hushing up any California earthquakes on you. VA government ther mometer is, after all, just a government thermometer. And having lived with it a long time we no longer expect it to agree with the unofficial and more sensational variety to be found at Island City, Elgin and Enterprise. From those communities we take the railroad reports for want of gov ernment records and any railroad man will tell you it has been, cold enough in all directions the last few weeks. What are ten or fifteen degrees between friends, anyway? Espe cially when the difference is below the zero mark. When it gets that cold, the exact temperature loses its importance with most of us and the calendar commands our attention. Calendars can't well be questioned and next June we'll all be comfortable again. j TO PRISON IN KOI K MONTHS j There is a striking illustration of the difference between ; the British and American administration of criminal law in the conviction and severe punishment of Clarence 11a try and , three of his business associates within four months after the exposure of the financial fraud perpetrated by thorn. Their devious financial operations resulted in losses estim ated at tens of millions of dollars, but neither these impos ing figures nor the high station these men had occupied in the business and social realms lent them special advantage once they were haled before the bar of English justice. Several men equally prominent in finance nnd society faced similar charges in the United Stales a year or so ago. Brought before the bar of American justice they were able to stave off final judgment in their case for mouths and when sentence was finally imposed one escaped with only the disgrace of Ins male-factions nnd upon the others the heavy hand of the law dropped relatively lightly in contrast with the penalties being paid by the Hairy group. Four months from affluence and honor to the stone pile in England. And instead of popular acclaim as "Napoleons of finance" their lot was hitler condemnation by both the court and the people. As Will Rogei-s remarks, the disarma ment delegation might well spend some time studying the ways of English justice while they are in London. uiul l)'lntf light imkI dry Iiiih been no. lilntlniiwii to skidding or eut tinjr.

Many say that during the extreme cold spell they found it pructicully lm.po;i idblo to keep enough feed out for tho stock which wero being fed outside. There la a much greater i waste of feed at thla. time than ! when tho weather conditions were i drier because of the feed being i trampled Into tho wet snyw. J-'. ' J. Weinhard of Jry creek was a huslnesH visitor In town tho last of tho week and reports stock on his farm doing well. Ho has been building a sheep shed to bo used In lambing out a band of ewes which will start lambing during the latter part of the month. A small amount of lambing Is being done at a few of tho farms over the community although no large num- ; her will begin lambing until the la-st of the month. A considerable amount of hay-is being hauled from some, of tho farms in the-' valley with some being hauled to some of the famns In tho hills. Willi tho winter season quite well advanced und tho greater part ot tho stock still in good condition It is felt that thero will be plenty of hay for all needs In this com munity, even if the spring should prove to be a late one.
