Mr. Bay ley takes a sensible
view of the conimissionership pro
position and the impression he
made while in the city this week
gained him many friends and
votes. An a representative from
the western past of the county lie is
entitled to the nomination and in

tlie event oi Ills election, men w in
follow his nomination, the busi
ness of the balance of the county
will share equally in the uttention
which he is capable of giving it.
It is a good plan for any candi
date to say a few words rclative'to
the stand he will take in public,
matters. Mr. Bay ley has done
this. His support shoulil be forth
coming in consequence without
further comment.
''Tlie Lord helpstthose who help
themselves." Yea, even armless
people. A short time ago a Hum
her of I'rineville residents received
a descriptive circular of an arm
less girl in Indiana. The pitiful
story of her life was contained
therein; how she lost her arms by
amputation after they had been
burned to a crisp on a stove, and
how, after years of practice, she
was able to sketch a few picturers
bv holding a pen or pencil between
her toes. A letter was enclosed
with the illustrated circular ask
ing the gift oi a quarter. The
quarters are coming. In fact, it
taken 20 clerks to handle the
business and money accumulating
at the Indian home where the girl
herHelf and the man who concocted
the circular letter scheme are each
receiving an income close to $o()0
a week from the generous Ameri
can public. The man in the bur
train eels half the proceeds for the
brilliant idea he planned and
successfully worked.
one candidate in the field, Harvey
k. Brown of Baker City, w ho rep
resents all that good citizens
should desire, ami a great many
people ontsidc of the statu who
are watching the contest, will hope
the republican voters of Oregon
will have the wisdom to nominate
him. He has made a record as an
ofticial in Baker that commends
him to all who believe in sterling
honesty, in the enforcement of tlx;
laws, and, generally, in decent
discharge of duf by men occupy
ing public positions. He is a man
of marked ability and great force
of character, and he is unwaver
ingly in favor of those things
which tend to strengthen the
commonwealth and elevate citizen
ship. "The women of Oregon should
take an especial interest in his
candidacy, for hi- not only favors
equal suffrage but, stand? also for
those things which protect the
home.
"Oregon made a mistake in its
last republican nomination for
governor; it may make another,
but it will not fall into error if it
select this sterling man."

lieorge Bruner, who shot and
killed a ranchman named Riley,
near Ashwood seveial years ago,
died last month a free man, the
overpowering stigma of prison life
removed and his lilx-rty as secure
as it wan the day of his birth.
Bruner's life was snuffed out by
consumption, brought on hy the
close confinement. Death was the
wage he paid for his crime. Gov
ernor Chamberlain, knowing the
man's physical condition some
lime ago, exercised the right given
him and released the prisoner from
his i temporal punishment. It
wasn't a great act. Simply a
stroke of the pen that brought a
few short fleeting hours of fresh
air and relief to a man if ion whose
shoulder Death had already
clasped a hand. No, it wasn't
much, but ofttimes in the hurly
burly and turmoil of present day
life we are apt to overlook these
little aigiial acts of mercy even in
thiH world one man's life is so
lightly connidered.

The Salem Journal tells of a
case which ts a good illustration
of fruudt perpetrated: "Horace
Mckinley and another person in
terested with him, Were examin
ing lands tip Itosehurg way. In

Albany, .and one of the local
papers mentioned the fact.

was a fine body of timber; that
the Northern Pacific had a hand
of cruisers examining it, with the
intention of tiling scrip on it.
Mckinley became interested and
made an agreement with this party,
by which he was to pay him $20
for each lftO acres which he should
show th corner for. He then
went to Albany parties,-while his
friend came to Salem, and made
arrangements for filing on the
land. During the whole arrange
ments Mckinley kept strictly
within the law. He offered to
advance the money necessary for
paying the government for the
land, the expense of tiling, and to
loan $100 to each locator, taking
the locator's note for the amount
but leaving him absolutely free to
sell to whom he pleased.
In this way 5ti claims were
taken, and it was done so quickly
that when the Northern Pacific
sent up its scrip the land was
"out of market." Then this
strictly honest company had
Mckinley arrested for getting
from the government what it in
tended to get for iteelf. The
charge would not stand and was
dismissed, but a block was put in
the way of Mckinley's proving up
Then the Northern Pacific people
sent for Mckinley, who went to
Taooma. and a compromise was
effected, by which he retained M ,
claims and abandoned 22. The
Northern Pacific withdrew its
complaint, Mckinley's people
proved up, and the Northern Pa
cific scripted its 22 claims.

! Baker Citv, Ore., April 12.
Harvey k. Brown, the reform
sheriff of Baker county and the
reform candidate for the republi
can nomination for governor,
strongly advocates the enactment
of a law lengthening the term of
Otlice of sheriffs in tiiis state and
changing the date when they shall
a t-o u me olhce. it nominated and
elected governor he w ilk use ids
best endeavors, he says, to bring
about certain needed changes in
existing laws relating to this
matter.
"No man" says sheriff Brown in
discussing the question, which he
has given deep study, "can serve a
two year term as sneriu in this j p,.t.ui(i ial)or Press,
state and give satisfaction to him-1
self or his constituents. .This is j
because the ilulies ot the omee are i
so many and varied thai it re-1
quires at least two years for a:
newly elected sheriff to thoroughly
faiiiiiiari.e himself with the mulii-j
tudinous details, not the least im- i
portant of which is the collection!
of txaes. Throughout the state it
is the general practice to re-elect
sheriffs to a second term, thus ob
viating the evil necessity of break
ing in a new man so frequently, j
But ibis practice lias serious draw-
hacks, hecause the primary audi
general elective campaigns in this!
state conic at a .time when the i
sheriff's olhce is the busiest of all!
the year in the collection of taxes, j
The ollicer is therefore compelled!
to neglect important duties, or j
delegate ihem to a deputy, while i
he himself spends valuable time
campaigning for re election.
"Another obvious weakness and
defect in the existing governing
of the ofliee is the provision for
assumption of office on July 1.
This, lie it known, is exactly in
the middle of tax collection time,
A retiring sherili's work is just
half completed on that date, and
his successor, usually a 'green'
man, is compelled to take up the
unfinished business of the office
at a most critieil time. I believe!
that this law should be amended j
to provide for the induction of j
newly elected sheriff's into office;
on the first of the year following
the election. On that date lie ;
retiring sheriff's wijrk is usually!
'cleaned up', and the books and !
records ,of the office arc in shape
for easy transferiance to his suc-
cessor. j
"As a matter of fact, I believe
that all count v officers should be'
elected for four years, for practi
cally the same reasons as cited in
the ease of the sheriff's. Under
our new primary law we are bound
to elect to office the best possible
men men who negative the old
theory that, 'public office is a pri
vate snap." With such men in
office for four years each, good
government would undoubtedly
ensue. .
"I am furthermore very heartily
in favor of the plan to make it
obligatory upon the board of
county commissioners in each
connty to employ a
