It is jferf.-ct!y dear, of coure that Attorney W. W.

Nor is it necessary to get outside of Oregon for comparisons. Too much superstitious reverence at tache to the cap and gown and the title of judge. We haven 't entirely outgrown ancestral effeet of fomp and pageantry for the antique and de funct carmine, although it exudes an unpleasant aroma. Too bad Thaekeray did not write vewes applicable to judges like the following snapshot he gave the clergy: "If I were a cassowary on the plains of Timbuetoo, j I would eat a missionary, hat and g-.wn ; and bymnbook, too." j The time will come when the people : will annul corrupt decisions of the courts, and it may require the referen- lum to accomplish it.
