Oorvallis Times. Official Paper of Beatoa Comtr. OOBTAIXIB, OBEGOK, AVO 13, 1804. HOT BIGGER THAH THE LA W. ; A wholesome lesson in bow to secure enforcement of the law is the effect of a decision rendered Mon day by the Oregon supreme .court. The Portland authorities, including the mayor and chief of police have for sometime maintained a policy by which gambling was permitted under a stated and regular system of fine paying, all in the face of the fact that the laws forbade gambling and of the further ' vital fact that respect for and obedience to the law is the first essential to good citizenship. ' Certain Portland citi zens, dissatisfied with the policy, brought mandamus proceedings in ' the circuit court to compel the authorities to apply the law . and close up the gambling houses. The case was carried to the supreme court, and that tribunal in effect declares that the chief of police of Portland must enforce the gambling ordinances, that no official can or der him to disregard violations, a-id that if he refuses to close the gambling houses, criminal action may be brought against him. The decision is vital and decisive became it re-asserls the majesty of the law, and in a quarter where such affirmation was badly needed. A statute is a sacred pronounce ment of a people, and no official, executive or otherwise has a right to set it at naught, to nullify, or evade it An attempt to do so is bad from every standpoint, because the safety of society rests on re spect for and obedience to fhe law. The decision is a wholesome lesson not only to the Portland author ies, but to every community, in that it shows the people how and where to secure the application of the laws they or their representa tives may make. It shows them, too, that no official is bigger than the laws of his town, bis state or ills vuuuiiy. THE JURIST. More and more ihe vti-dom of the St. Louis convention in nominating Judge Parker comes to be under stood. As closer glimpses of his personal character are caught, his fitness for chief magistrate becomes more and more apparent- His fa mous telegram to the convention supplied earlier evidence of his honesty and courage. His speech of acceptance Wednesday to the committee of notifications is equally fortunate in the effect it will have upon his countrymen. It's open ing note shows how, as a member of the judiciary, he had too much of the sense of eternal fitness to speak ot political matters. When goaded and pressed before con vention time for an expression of his views, conscious as he must have been that his cause as a can didate was suffering by his silence, he kept his lips sealed because he thought it unseemly and im proper for a judge to talk politics. That is to say, he .was courageous enough and honest enough to be right and discreet as a judge, even though the act cost him the nomin ation and perhaps election to the greatest office human hands can bestow. Public virtue of this character is so rare that when found in such fullness in this man, the manifestation of it is both refresh ing and gratifying. Of all the men the St. Louis convention had to choose from, and it had millions, this courageous, candid, high minded, New York judge possess es the qualities and personal char acter most perfect for a candidate, most promising in strength as "such and. best fitted of all to be president.

Prunes of tne Benton County Company go to New York Firm. ' The sale of the entire holdings of prunes of the Benton County Prune Compary aggregating about $10,000 worth was made this week. The, lot comprises about 250,000 fpounds, and represents the entire product olhe big orchard last year The price has not been made public but it is understood to average be tween 3! and zH cents per pound. The buyers are a New York firm, and shipment is to be made as soon as the prunes can be processed and packed. For transporting them about seven cars will be required. It is expected that they will start East in three or four weeks. Negotiations for the sale have been pending for . several weeks. The supply of the larger - sized prunes is now exhausted ' and the Eastern market is calliog for them. The present lot is the only lot of 30-40 prunes on the Coast, about one-half of the fruit involved in the transaction being of that size. Sev eral weeks ago, after a long period" of stagnation m the market, , East ern buyers began to make offers. The market meantime, had been very low, prices hovering around the three cent mark. . Manager Johnson, realizing that he had the only 30-40 prunes in the country, held firmly for the better figure, and after the wires and mails had been kept hot for several weeks, the deal was finally made a day or two ago. ; ". l he prunes are now at tne big orchard, but the work of hauling them to the local processing- xlant began yesterday, and will be kept up bya number of teams until the entire'seven carloads -Tiave been moved. Boxes for the packing orderedfr om Medfor d. are to arrive today or Monday, and Tuesday or Wednesday morning, the work of processing and packing will begin. For the purpose the services of 25 or 30 girls will be re quired for about three weeks. Ap plications for the work should be made at the packing house along the river front. The frnit is to be packed in 25-pound boxes. The sale clears Benton county and practically Oregon, of last year's dried prune crop. I At Summit. Mr. and Mrp.
