And it is worth remembering that the electorate stood by them time and again. The cowardice of our politicians, in other words, isn't an inevitable part of democracy.

Nero, stands gazing at the burning city of Rome there Is intense dramatic interest. Humorus sections occurring in the early acts of the drama prevent it from being stuffily 1 heavy and the production Is unus ually well balanced throughout. ' In some cities the advance ticket sale completely sold out the evening performance and it was necessary for a matinee performance to be given ' to accommodate the crowds who wished to attend. Mr. Mortimore states that the advance ticket sate is going ahead very well here with ! indications pointing to a packed : house Saturday night. BECAUSE IT'S BETTER AT FALK'S IT'S CHEAPER . . .

With the united force of the Am. erican Legion and auxitlary looming above every boy and girl paroled, it stands to reason that Judge Brand's contention that such a system would be a monument to the Ideals of Am erica would be borne out, The plan recently revealed by Judge Brand Is the result of fie years of study on the circuit court bench of Southwestern Oregon. It is based on ine parents 01 tne cnimrcn could legally W and recognizes the true human most of us would say, "Let them have the flowers." others would be willing to buy flowers for children really want them, if they would not molest the flower beds. But some of the offenders apparently have 'no other motive than wanton destruction. Some garden lovers have found tulips and other flowers pulled up and thrown on the ground. Such deliberate meanness is without excuse. The children who employ such tactics certainly cannot be credited with any appreciation of beauty. What is to be done to remedy the situation is a question .southwestern Oregon, it is based on not easily solved be held responsible for the damage that is done. But the iuon with which the :aw is con damage in these cases cannot be repaired, nor can it be reck oned in terms of dollara and cents. It takes time to grow flowers, and a child may destroy in a minute what has been weeks or months in growing. ( In some instances owners of gardens and flower teds have seen and recognized children stealing flowers, but have said nothing to the parents because of the embarrassment it would cause. It would be for the best interests of child and parents alike to report every such delinquency. A child allowed to "get by" with minor offenses is very likely to drift into more serious crimes, bringing disgrace upon himself and his parents. If warned in time his parents may be able to correct his wayward tendencies and avoid future difficulties. Perhaps this editorial may accomplish nothing toward the correction of the evil. But it may serve as a warning to parents - all parents that they cannot start too early to instill in their children's minds the appreciation for the heauties of nature, and the respect for private property HAWLEY BILL IS GIVEN SLWORT (Continued from Fage Oney V construction and $300 000 000 for as 1 A1'01"111 concluded that the as- community distress has reached an slstance to the unemployed He dis- soclatfon feels "ls the o"1" acut 6taKe- cussed this with the president J BlandinS m&n Ior the position," and "West coast lumber mills compete There ls evprv inriiJtinn "wo are still convinced he should be with lumber, shingles and logs im- no fault of their own have become dent desires tO( work: the m-oblem out appointed." ported from Canada, whose currency has been from 10 to 20 per cent be low par since last September.

Our political leaders, he remarked. iossess an extraordin ary amount of caution. They fear nothing so much as a real live issue. When they fight they take good care to get all the big guns on their side. They reserve their heaviest blasts for insignificant opponents who cannot fight back ef fectively. The commonest explanation for this .sad state of affairs is that it is inevitable in a democracy. Office holders depend on votes for their jobs. If they make enemies they lose votes. The pressure to straddle, to compromise, to placate powerful minorities and minority leaders, is almost overwhelming. Oddly enough, though, a casual glance at American political history will show that this sort of thing isn't in the least necessary. The politicians are revealing, not the fundamental fault of democracy, but their own weakness. What has happened is that the politicians have made the mistake of underestimating the common sense and Rood judgment of the electorate. The greatest figures in American political history are the men who dared to make enemies the men who were willing to follow their own conceptions of right and trust to the electorate for an accurate understanding of them.

He ad vocates "respect for law and laws worthy of respect.' His platform Is based on the fol lowing: "The law was made for man, not man for the law. "As to the courts, a trial must be a search for the truth, not a game or a gamble. A Judge's duty is to hear, but not with his car to the ground. Decisions must be prompt. Just, simple, consist ent. The public has a rlpht to know that a decision once wisely made Is a rule for the future up on which to rely. To these prin ciples I stand commuted." The Jurist is a man of keen In tellect a thorough student of his profession. He is a tireless and en thusiastic worker, and his law prac tice and Judicial career Is without a blemish.
