It ia tha opinioa of The Ore
donlan that no recall of a publi
officer, elactad by the euffrafr
of the people, Is justified, except
for grave reasons of public poli
cy. Undoubtedly, proven die
honesty warrant! tha recall
or notorious moral delinquencies
or demonstrated Incompetency
affecting vitally the public in
teresta; or prejudial favoritism
for one or another interest. But
it ia foolish to recall, any public
official over any question of mere
administrative detail. That is
what moat attempted recalls are,
except those other recalls which
ara inspired by motives of per
aonal revenge or factional, sec
tional, or political resentment.
Polk County eiitfht not to ba Ineon
iblat to the fact that tha people of
Oregon aa rule rejoice treatly when
a recall, anywhere" within a city or

A LITTLE paint here, a touch of
enamel there, a brushful of varnish
yonder everyone can see a dozen or
more such opportunities for brightening
and beautifying the home.
Perhaps it's the outside of the house that
needs protection from the ravages of the weather;
perhaps it's a chair, or dresser, the floor or wood
work that has become worn and shabby, or perhaps
it's the family carriage, the farm wagon or the lawn
swing that has ceased to be a source of pride.
No matter what it is that has become marred and
unsightly from age and wear, there's an Acme
Quality paint, enamel, stain or varnish that will
exactly fit the need. We are agents in this
vicinity for
' ACME QUALITY
PAINTS AND FINISHES

factory in appearance and wear, made in the

Our big Portland brother. The
Oregonian, does not put Itself
oa record ea b!ng opposed to
tha recall system in general but
only jastiflea its use in eases of
"proven dishonesty", "notorious
mora! dalinqueacies", "demon
strated incompetency affecting
tha public interests" or "preju
dicial favoritism for one or anoth
er interest " But the Oregon ian
does not know of any recall
movement, successful or unsuc
cessful, that was lot based upon
ana or mora of the cardinal sins
it enumerates, and while the
Oregonian frowns upon recalls
"inspired by motivea of personal
revenge" it aloes not know of a
single ease in which personal
revenge or grievance did not
originate or aggravate the move

A JUDICIAL ERROR
When Frank waa hanging; to a
limb, and soma of tha nob yelled
for him to ba cut up, waa it done?
No, Indeed! A judge arose and
aaked for a vote on whether to
cut the dead man up. Ha aaked
those to raise their hands who
didn't want tha slicing dona and
Frsnk was not cut up. Of course,
a few men jumped on his face
when he was cut dowa, but it
had been neglected to take a
second vote on this phase of the
situation. Even a judge some
times overlooks details of parlia
mentary procedure. Portland

TO BiTTIl IT7TUV CONDITIONS
i hough awift and merciless
punishment was meted out to
the two moral degenerates for
their damnable crime last Thurs
day, yet tha laws on our statue
books cat not sufficiently punish
such an act Whea men degen
erate into brutes they should'
receive the same treatment that
surplus malea receive in brute
creation. While this indeed
would not atone for the crimes
they commit, it would prevent a
transmieaion of their vicious
propensities to possible offspring.
