SUPPLEMENT TO THE Jacksonville Post OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF JACK SONVILLE. OREGON Published every Saturday by the Post Pub- ishing Co. J. B. Barnes, Editor Admitted as second-class matter at ‘Jacksonville. Oregon. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1908. SUBSCRIPTION One year, by mail........ ..................................... $1.50. JUSTICE If Coss was a poor man he would be serving sentence in the penitentiary, he would not be able to have attorneys to visit the governor, he could not take his case to the supreme court. Is it not a fact that the trial jury is better able to tell whether a man is guilty than the supreme court who only has the record of the lower court? This jury had an opportunity to study each witness. With all due respect to the supreme court the writer firmly be lieves that this arm of the law should be abolished. When a man with a bank account gets into trouble he makes his threat that he will carry his case to supreme court if necessary to beat the case. This remark should be sufficient to convict, because it admits of guilt. The man whose finances are carried around in his vest pocket must quit, because he cannot go to the sup reme court, and right here is where many criminals bluff the poor man out. ELECTION DAY CLOSE AT HAND November 3, the people of the Unit ed States will be given the privilege of once more selecting a president. In the selection of a man to fill this pos ition we must select a man of ability one who is capable and able to stand forth and exercise his own mind. There are five candidates in the field, all men of high standing and the choice u. ouch party. Theodore Roosevelt, when he enter- e 1 upon the duties of the office in 1904, was held in the highest esteem of the American people, party affiliation was reduced to the minimum, and he went into office loved by the people of this nation as George Washington was in revolutionary days. The republican party has a man aspiring for the office who has worked shoulder to shoulder with this great statesman, a man who has assisted in bringing about the suc cessful termination of the present ad ministration; a man, who if elected by the people, will carry out the policies of the present administration in a true and fearless manner; a man who is not changing from one theory to another for no other purpose than to strike some issue upon which he can be rail roaded into the White House. William H. Taft has a record upon which he can stand, we know him by past deeds, and we are not experiment ing. What canidate in this campaign aside from Taft and Sherman has a re cord on which to stand and ask for the American yote? They have all had an opportunity to distinguish themselves, but what has this government benefitt- ed by their efforts? For Chapped Skin.
