AS OTHERS The Oregonian, in its
VIEWED IT editorial columns Tues
day morning, had some remarks to
make about the action of Governor
West in stopping the performance of
a circus that was billed to play in
Oregon City on the Sabbath. The
leading paper of the metropolis takes
a somewhat diffsrent view of the mat
ter than do the majority of Oregon
City citizens, but while its angle is
different, it. is similar in respect to
its purpose. The Oregonian does not
think the governor had any moral
right to do what he did. Commenting
upon his action, its says:
"A circus is advertised to show at
Oregon City on a Sunday, and the dis-
- trict judge isues an injunction re
straining the local authorities from
any Interference. Yet the governor
of Oregon ignores and defeats the
- regular operation of civil law by his
threat of martial law the last re
course of the state to preserve itself
In a grave crisis and the circus does
not perform.
"At Bandon, the community, acting
in is own protection and from a pro
found sense of injury to its own re
spect and dignity, requests an unde
sirable citizen to leave with the plain
intimation that measures will, if nec
essary, be taken to enforce its untima
tum. "Yet the governor of Oregon denies
to the sovereign people of a munici
pality the right to attetaoineaointao
end without the law; but at the same
time he asserts his right to rise above
the law when his feeling, or sense of
propriety, or whatever it may be, is
shocked at something or other about
Better the Conditions For. Getting
Right Kind of Men on
the Bench
By CHARLES S. CUTTING, Judge of the Probate Court of Chicago
THE AMERICAN COURTS NEED NOT FACILITIES FOR REMOVING
MEN FROM THE BENCH SO MUCH AS THEY NEED CONDI
TIONS WHICH WILL ATTRACT THE RIGHT MEN TO THE BENCH.
IN NO AMERICAN CITY DO THE LEADERS OF THE BAR SEEK PO
SITIONS ON THE BENCH IN THE STATE COURTS. IN NO AMERI
CAN CITY AND IN BUT FEW PLACES IN THE COUNTRY CAN THE
CALIBER OF MAN WHO SHOULD BE PLACED IN JUDICIAL POSI
TION ACCEPT THAT POSITION WITHOUT PECUNIARY SACRIFICE.
The general superiority of the personnel of the federal bench is con
ceded, and, although the COMPENSATION THEKE IS PITIFULLY
SMALL, the permanency of the position and the honor connected there
with attract many men of high character and attainments who leave
lucrative practice or state positions paying much higher salaries.
I think most men who are familiar with judicial affairs would agree
J that an election by the people for a TERM CONTINUING 'DURING
"GOOD BEHAVIOR, the person so elected to be subject to recall when
ever there was a popular demand for that particular thing, where the
plain question of recall or no recall, unmixed with the question of the
election ,of a successor at the same time, would be a vast improvement
over other conditions. . -
If such ati election for the recall of a judge were to be held SEP
ARATELY FROM GENERAL ELECTIONS, to be unmixed with-general
political questions, and only the question of the FITNESS OR
UNFITNESS of the particular judge was before the people, no judge
could object thereto. .

to be done somewhere or other in
Oregon.
"If the people of Bandon have ig
nored the constituted authorities in
doing what they were practically a
unit in thinking ought to be done for
the public peace, they have not trans
gressed more than the governor of
Oregon in doing at Oregon City what
he not they thought ought to be
done to preserve the tranquillity, of a
certain Sunday,
"Is government by executive whim
to be preferred to government by the
mob?"
By finding in the governor's com
plaint in regard to the people of Ban
don a criticism of the executive's own
action at Oregon City, the Oregonian
makes the gentleman from Salem con
vict himself in no uncertain way.
When the governor announced his in
tentions of coming here to prevent the
performance, this paper suggested
that perhaps his motives were some
what mixed. It now appears certain
that they were ; and it is quite possi
ble that a love of the limelight of pub
licity may have entered into the Mix
ture. --
Perhaps in view of these things it
is permissable to repeat remark made
Monday by a local citizen, who in com
menting upon tjie governor's action
Sunday, and the failure of the pro
posed show to appear on . Monday,
said:
"The only wild West in Oregon City
Monday was the governor."
HOW TIMES A year ago the country
DO CHANGE was marvelling from
one end to the other over the doings
of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, a New
York gentlman who was then actively
seeking the nomination to the presi
dency of the United States for the
third term. In fact a year ago today
the distinguished personage was har
ranguing the Progressive party con
vention at Chicago, and proclaiming
that there was being, born a new
movement, "of. the people, for he peo
ple and by the people" that was go
ing to endure forever, and right all
the ills and wrongs to which the na
tion was heir.
That was a year ago. Today the
Colonel is reported to be in search of
the solitudes of the Arizona deserts
and the depths of the Grand canyon.
A year ago he was the cynosure of all
eyes, though the glances cast at him
were not of the same kind every
where. Today probably nobody is
looking at him but the members of
OREGON CITY,
his immediate party, and while some
of the newspapers may be chronicling
the doings of his party, they are not
giving such news much space or prom
inence. .For an everlasting boom
that was going to sweep everything
before it, the Bull Moose excitement
has been about as much of a failure
as its dearest enemies could wish. -
It is a peculiar thing about the Am
erican people that they will go "mad"
with less reason than any other na
tion and it is equally peculiar that
they will become sane again with re
markable speed. Even the most sta'
wart foes of the Progressive party a
year ago ere alarmed at its appar
ent" growth, power and attraction to
the multitudes; but today the Pro
gresive party is not receiving any at
tention at all, save from its own lead
ers, who are seeking some way they
can hook it on to the tail of some
other party, and so save it from utter
oblivion. Its leaders have looked in
vain to the women in states where uni
versal suffrage has been granted,
hoping that the women would give the
Bull Mbose support. But . the "new
citizens," no matter where they may
have been, have not shown any desire
to fall over themselves to bolster up
the Colonel's ambitions, and as a re
sult the last hope of the Colonel's
lieutenants has gone.
It has taken just about a year for
the Colonel's carefully planted and
tenderly nutured plant to spring up,
burst into glorious blossom and then
fade down and die. The span of 365
days is a record, in shortness, for the
life and death of a political party. In
fact it is prohably merely a further
proof that the party had no reason a't
all' for being, save the Colonel's am
bitions. Other parties that have
sprung up have lasted at least four
years, but all other parties have had
the impetus of a goodly number of
people behind them, and have not
been a personally-conducted, one-man
affair. Mr. Roosevelt should reflect,
today, upon the short space of time it
has taken the American people to for
get him and his ambitions.

IS YOUR LIFE'S SOIL RICH OS POOR?
In a sense every person's life is a
farm. It must be tilled to bring forth
proper fruits. It can be fertilized with
the chemicals of wisdom and fore
sight or it can be permitted to grow
to weeds.
One thing you cannot do with your
life you cannot let It remain fallowr
It must produce crops fit for the gran
ary and the storehouse or it will rnn
wild with noxious weeds.
Like the farm, a life has Its seasons
of sowing, of cultivation and of har
vest. Again, like a farm. It must be
kept in good tilth.. It will not "run
itself."
"As a man soweth. so shall he also
reap." The life of a farm runs in
cycles, each one filling a year. The
life of a man fills more than a year,
but the regular course of operations is
the same as in the farm year.
Nowadays farmers bear much of the
"rotation of crops." It means grow
ing such products of the soil as shall
not exhaust the fertility of the land.
It means changing the character of the
croDs zrown so that no one element

illustration of what is meant by "rota

To Reduce Double Chin.

"1 have proved to my wife, at least."
he said, with a twinkle, "that women
who would keep young and slender
must never sleep but six hours. Less
would be better, but six will do.
"Funny, isn't It. how you can talk
yourself black In the face trying to
demonstrate science to a woman? She
won't listen. Talk beauty to her and
her attention sticks like glue. Funny.
Isn't it? Anyhow. I've proved my point

' She stood breast high amid the

Clasped by the golden light of
morn.
Like the sweetheart of the sun,
Who many a glowing kiss had
won.

On her cheek an autumn flush
Deeply ripened. Such a blush
In the midst of brown was born.
Like red poppies grown with
corn.
' Round her eyes her tresses feU.
Which were blackest none could
tell.
But long lashes veiled a light
That had else been all too bright
And her hat. with shady brim.
Made ber tressy forehead dim.
Thus she stood amid the stooka
Praising God with sweetest

War Is in the interest of a

the masses pay the taxes. A
few men gain glory, while the
mothers of the nation furnish

they not only take an increasing
pride in deciding questions upon
the basis of Intelligence, but
with increasing information they '
learn the awful cost of war as
well as its uselessness. Intelll- .

BUTTER JUMPS UP
TWO CENTS AGAIN
- i
A further auvance of two cants a
pound on butter was announced Tues
day by creamery interests. The
raise seems to have been made in com
bination with creamery interests in
neighboring market centers, and is
not generally dsf ended by dealers.
However, all are subscribing to it as
a matter of self protection.
There is also an effort being made
to drive np the price of eggs. While
this may effect some markets, the lo
cal field is so demoralized that it prob
ably will not be at once noticeable
hereabouts. More eggs are being sold
direct by poultry men in the Willam
ette and Clackamas valleys than are
being handled through the stores.
Cantaloupes from The Dalies, which
while of excellent flavor, are rather
inclined to be dry, are now competing
with our-state offerings. Oregon mel
ons are selling up to $2.75 per crate,
while out-state offerings are ranging
about two-bits higher.
- Canby corn in considerable bulk
has been contracted for shipment to
California, thus making a new record.
The Canby ears are said to be such
that they will readily create a market
for themselves. " - '
