Or Is he going Teddy Koosevelt one better by dictating to the Republicans of thl district who they shall nominate, cur rying favor tor future use? Such poll tics may be good, coming: from such exalted positions, but It doesn't look good to ordinary men raised In the woods. Evidently there is something about the Hamilton-Brown combination that the people In remote sections like this are not familiar with, or Judge Hamil ton would not butt into Republican politics as be has. If Judge Hamilton has unfurled the Republican (las, re would like to know it: and If for private or personal rea sons he wishes Mr. Brown elected. would likewise be glad to know of It: and If his reason is a valid one, will gladly take up his cause and help It along. The Globe opposes marrying any man to any office, and we think, evidently does the Republicans of this district, that sixteen years Is enough, even though there was no valid reasons fsrther for making a change. If Judge Hamilton knows any reason why Mr. Brown should bang on to the public teat another term, will he give the same to the press of the country that all may vote more Intelligently T (Paid Adv.)

Support of National Leaders at Wash ington Makes Petty Mud slingers Look Sick Tl'e extraordinary work of Representative A. W. Lafferty In procuring the passage through the House of the three-year homestead bill, with a five months' leave of absence each year, has brought to Oregon's young Congressman hearty let ters of congratulation from leading men In the Senate and House. It is known that older Western members believed it prac tically impossible to pass the bill. In view of the opposition of Secretary Fisher. But Ifferty made a personal canvass if the Members of the House. He made the principal spe-ecli for the bill before the public lands committee. When it came ur on the floor I.afferty spoke for the measure, and read Canadian homestead laws to show that across the border homesteaders mav prove up In three years and have a slxi months' leave each year. Ifferty also secured the rejection of tlie Inroot amendment, which would have prevented home steads being taken on timber lands. I-afferty's mud-ellnging enemies have been knocked groggv by this latest triumph. The political stock of those who thought thev could take advantage of the petty fight on Lafferty and slide easily into his berth has taken a decided slump. Among those who have formally conveyed their congratu lations to Mr. Ifferty are Senator Borah of Idaho, Senator Chamberlain of Oregon. Speaker Clark, Representative Stephens of California.
