ISSUE IN BALLIET CASE.
Judge Rules It Is Immaterial IXorr
Defendant Spent Money.
DES MOINES, la.. May 29. In the
Balliet case today Judge Munger ruled
that it is not material whether Loteon
Balliet spent the proceeds from the White
Swan gold mine stock sales to establish
and maintain variety theaters, squandered
it on variety actresses and sporting wom
en, or gave it in large measure as an en
dowment for churches. "Whether the
money went for moral or immoral pur
poses doesnot enter into this case," an
nounced thig courts
This ruling camo about when the Dis
trict Attorney was examining J. C Hlg
glns, of Spokane, Wash., one of tho most
Important witnesses of the day, whose
testimony pertained chiefly to the White
Swan mine, the condition and value jof its
machinery, etc, and something of Bal
liefs mode of living in San Francisco.
The ruling -will deprive the Government
of considerable of its most important tes
timony. Judge Munger proceeded further and
cautioned District Attorney Miles against
trying to get such evidence before the
Jury any further as to the character of
the Savoy variety theater in Baker City,
In which Balljet purchased a half interest,
saying that this did not enter Into the
case, and that such questions were obvi
ously asked only for tho purpose of in
fluencing the Jury against the defendant.
According to the court's ruling, the only
question in this regard Is whether the
money was diverted from tho White Swan
stockholders and mine.
While on the stand, Hlggins testified
that BaUlet employed one Linn for a time
in his office at San Francisco attending
to correspondence, that Balliet showed
Linn books containing about 1000 names of
stockholders inJthe White Swan mine, and
told Lipn If 'the?p6stofflce Inspectors ever
came in on Linn to burn these books. It
is not thought the' taking of testimony for
the Government will be finished this week.

OFFICES TO BE FILLED

MUCH-MOOTED QUESTION.

OLYMPIA, Wash., May 29: The ques
tion that haB been agitating the State of
Washington for several weeks, as to the
number of offices to be filled at the gen
eral election this Fall, will be decided by
the Supremo Court at an early date. To
day Attorney-General Stratton, represent

Significance to the Country of the OregonElectlon.
Tacoma Ledger.
The people of the country generally, and of the Northwest States
in particular, will await with interest the result of the election In Ore
gon. The fact that It occurs on June 2 makes it seem of greater im
portance relatively than the elections held in November, since the
sentiment of the state, as reflected in the election, may be interpreted
as the sentiment of the Northwest, and in a measure of the whole
country. In this respect a responsibility rests with vthe Republicans
of Oregon. They should be determined to win with flying colors. To
win by a email vote would be almost equivalent to moral defeat,
since they have had through many campaigns a safe majority. If
Oregon's example is to be worth anything, the majority should be
larger this year than ever before. The issues at stake are not local.
The Administration is anxiously waiting for assurance from the North
west States that its policy in the Philippines is approved. Next to
Washington and California, Oregon will receive more direct benefit
than any other state from, the expansion of Oriental trade. If her
Yoice is weak in favor of what is obviously to her own interests,
other states less directly concerned might be excused for indifference.
Is the Northwest In favor of the policy of scuttle? That is the
question which Oregon will be called upon to answer on June 2.
There can be no doubt of the point, no evasion" of the issue. The
Democrats have established themselves upon a scuttle platform. If
upon that platform they carry a larger vote than usual, the Repub
licans, in fact the whole people of Oregon, will have reason to blush.
In other features of the campaign the Republicans have the advan
tage. To an outsider it would appear that the nominee for Governor,
as well as the nominees for Congress, are so superior to their oppo
nents that they should receive the usual majority even without the
main issue to bolster their cause. But the personal element is hard
to reckon with. The adherents of Senator Simon, who was turned
down in the primaries, have allied themselves with the Democrats,
and other disturbing elements of a personal nature may have arjsen.
However, the main Issue should outweigh such personal matters as
may have beer, injected Into the campaign. It is the duty of the Ore
gon Republicans to win, and indifference would be a poor excuse to
offer for defeat. '
Bride to name In his election proclama
tion among tho state offices to be filled
those of Governor, Lieutenant-Governor
and three Justices of the Supreme Court.
The Governor's proclamation Is not re
quired to be Issued until 60 days before
tho date of the election, but to enable,
an early hearing of the question he has
signified that It is his intention, unless
otherwise Instructed by tho Supreme
Court, to name as the offices to bo filled
only thope of one Judge of the Supremo
Court and three Congressmen.
Under ordinary conditions there would
be no doubt but that these four offices
were the only 'ones to be filled this year,
but owing to the fact that Governor
McBrlde was elected Lieutenant-Governor
In 1900, and succeeded to the Gover
norship by reason of the death of Gov
ernor Rogers, it is contended by come
members of the bar that tho office of
Lieutenant-Governor has become vacant,
and Governor McBrido should only serve
as Governor "until the next general elec
tion, which Is this Fall.
The contention that three Judges of the
Supreme Court should be elected Instead
of one Is believed to have more support
than the one raised in regard to the Gov
ernor's office. Tho last Leguelature passed
a law Increasing the number of Justices
of the Supreme Court from five to seven,
with the provision that the extra judges
should be appointed by the Governor and
serve only until October of this year, when
the number should again be five. It is
contended that the constitution has
given the Legislature tho power only to
Increase the number of Judges, and that
once Increased the Legislature cannot re
duce the number. The term of Judge
Reavls, who is one of the regularly-elected
Judges, expires this yean and It Is con
tended that not only his successor, but
the successors of Judges Hadley and
"White, the appointed members of the
court, should be elected also.
The action has the approval of Gov
ernor McBrlde and the decision to bring

it was reached after a number of confer
ences. In which the Governor, Attorney
General and prominent members of the
Republican party and bar of tho state
participated. The testing of the Judge
ship matter Is not a general surprise,
but tho Injecting into the action of the
Governorship matter was not looked for.
Governor McBrlde stated today, however,
that it was not to be tested because there
were any serious doubts on his part as
to the correctness of the opinion handed
down by the Attorney-General recently
to the effect that thero Is no vacancy In
either the office of Governor or Lieutenant-Governor
to be filled this year, but
the testing of the Judgeship question
opened a good opportunity for also ob
taining a decision of the Sunremc Court
on the other question, and it was deemed
best to do so because it was stilt being
I agitated In some quarters, and there was
still talk of the Democrats naming can
didates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor at their convention. As a re
sult of the action today, all questions will
be finally determined before tho conven
tion of either party assembles.

SALEM, Or., May 23. The 29th
annual convention of tho -State Grange
adjourned tonight. It was one of
the most successful meetings In tho

ol the convention was fully occupied with
business. A literary programme of merit
had been prepared 'for this" afternoon, but
owing to the rush of business the enter
tainment was necessarily dispensed with.
Rarely has the Grange had that amount
rf business to transact that night sessions
were required, as was the case this year.
Tonight the Grangers were tendered a
banquet In the Holman building. The
feast followed the Installation of the
newly electrd officers' and the conferring
of the sixth degree upon 3Q candidates.
Today was devoted largely to the consid
eration of committee reports. Interest
ing reports were received from the follow
ing committees: Agriculture, legislation,
education, co-operation, and good of the
order, and a report from a special com
mittee on sood roads.
An effort to change the time of the an
nual meeting to December failed, as did
an attempt to Increase the representa
tion In the State Grange of subordinate
Granges. Enlarged powera were delegat
ed to the executive committee for organ
ization of Granges.

condolence were adopted today.

cial commltteo was adopted. One peculiar
feature of the report was the recom
mendation for the use of oil In making

The report of the committee on agri
culture arraigned the old custom of Sum
mer fallow as "extravagant, wasteful and
unprofitable." That should be supersed
ed by a rotation of crops In which clover
should be the princlpaL crop, and rec
ommended that all cereal products of the
farm be consumed thereon; that meat,
butter, eggs, wool, fruit and vegetables
should be marketed, which would both
Increase fertility pf soil and increase the
farmer's resources.
