OT.TMPIA. Wash.. CVt. IT. (!-pe-elal.)
Now that the Supreme Court
has upheld the constitutionality of the
direct primary law in providing for a
"non-partisan Judiciary." the election
of 34 Superior Judges and three Su
preme Court Judges in this state can
be said to be practically accomplished.
Under the provisions of the law there
will be but 34 candidates for Superior
Judge and three Candidates for Su
preme Judge, who will be entitled to
have .their names printed on the gen
eral election ballots, or a number ex
actly equaling the places to be filled.
The only way they can be opposed will
be by the use of stickers or by writing
In the name of other persons on the
ballot, and the likelihood of the defeat
of any one of them by this method is
so remote as to be not worth constd-
"ofthe .14 Superior Judges elected. 25
will b Republicans and nine Demo
crats. Of the three Supreme Judges,
two will be Republicans and - one a
Democrat. It will thus appear that
the Democrats will have members of
their party occupying more than one
fourth of the Judicial positions in a
Btate It which every county has a nor
mal Republican plurality and which
as a whole has a Republican plurality
of more than 40.000.
Democratic Gain Slight.
Tt might be Inferred from this that
th non-partiBan Judiciary, plan has
iriven Democratic members of the bar
an advantage in seeking Judicial posi
tions that they did not enjoy before.
As a matter of fact, the gain of Demo
crats to the Judicial positions has been
slight. Of the nine elected to the Su
perior bench, five are either re-elected
or will succeed Democrats, and a sixth
resumes the bench after having given
way for four years to a Republican.
The elective members of the Supreme
bench have been. Republicans for a
good many years. The last Demo
cratic member was Judge "W". It White,
of Seattle, who was appointed to the
bench by Governor John R- Rogers for
a short terra In 1901. after the Legisla
ture had authorized an increase in the
number of Judges.
This year. Judge S- J- Chadwick, of
Whitman County, a Democrat, is one
of three elected, and he received the
highest vote cast for any candidate for
the Supreme bench In the primary
election. The'vote for Supreme bench
under the non-partisan system this
year was In marked contrast to the
vote of four years ago. when the Dem
ocrats In effect appealed for a non
partisan Supreme Court. At that time,
although there were two positions to
fill, the Democrats nominated but one
candidate, while the Republicans nom-
inated two.
Given Huge JIajority.
Under the non-partisan system of
voting. Judge Chadwick received 11.000
more votes than the highest Republi
can candidate.
Democrats have been elected to the
Superior bench this year as follows:
11. W. Canfleld. Whitman County.
C. H. Neat. Lincoln County.
R. S. Stelner, Douglas County.
K. B. Preble. Taklma County.
O. R. Holcomb, joint district, com

FEW NORMAL GRADUATES
Majority or Oregon Teachers, How
ever, Have Had Long Training.
SALEM. Or., Oct. 17. (Special.)
Though it was asserted at the recent
meeting of the Normal School Board -of
Regents that only 10 per cent of the
teachers of the state are normal school
graduates. It does not follow that the
other 0 per cent are without the spe
cial training or experience necessary
to qualify them for efficient work. A
considerable number of the teachers
employed In the public schools have
spent one or two years in a normal
school, but have not graduated. They
procured ccrtiticates by taking the
usual county teachers' examination.
To secure a state diploma requires 69
months' teaching experience; to se
cure a state certificate. 30 months; to
secure a first-grade county certificate.
12 months', and to secure a second
grade county certificate requires 3
months' experience. The forthcoming
biennial report of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction shows that 4243
teachers were employed in the public
schools last year and that 22 per cent
of them hold state certificates or di
plomas, which vouch for from 30 to 60
months' experience. More tlian half the
teachers have had at least 12 months'
experience.
Jtany of those who hold first, second
and third-grade certificates have had
some normal training. The following
statement shows the number of teach
ers employed holding the various grades

Shows Growth of Hcrnilslon.
PENDLETON, Or., Oct. 17. (Special.)
Nothing shows the remarkable growth of
the town of Hermlston more than the
statement of County School Superintend
ent Welles, that the town will be in im
perative need of a new school building be
fore one can be completed. When it is
considered that last year one teacher did
service for the entire town and surround
ing country and that a new schoolhouse
with five rooms and built of concrete
blocks, was Just completed last month, a
fair idea of the rapid growth of the little
Irrigation town is obtained.

Company, which operates a large saw
mill about five miles east of Browns

of Nebraskan's Claims.'
OPENS ALBANY CAMPAIGN
Portland Lawyer In Forceful Speech
Proves Taft, "ot Bryan, Roose
velt's Logical Successor -In
'White House..
ALBANY. Or.. Oct. 17. (Special.!
In a forceful and eloquent address,
which . was warmly received. Judge
Henry E. McGinn, of Portland, opened
the Republican campaign In Albany
tonight; He spoke to a large crowd
In the opera house and was introduced
by Percy R. Kelly, president of the
local Taft Republican Club. Bryan's
claim that he is the heir of Roosevelt
was emphatically attacked and ex
ploded by Judge McGinn, who showed
that Taft is the logical man to carry
out the great work inaugurated by the
present Administration.
The speaker showed that many of
Roosevelt's policies were advocated by
Taft In public addresses, before they
were brought into prominence by the
Presidents forceful advocacy, and
come to bear his name.
The claim that Taft is unfriendly to
labor was shattered by the speaker,
who asserted that Taft's decisions as a
Judge were friendly to labor. Judge
McGinn quoted Taft as sharing Roose
velt's belief that next to the farmer
the wage-earner Is the man upon
whom the welfare of the -country de
pends, and asserted that he would pro
tect labor as the Nation's chief execu
tive. If Bryan were elected the force
of such a mistake would bo felt first
by the wage-earner, the speaker said.
Judge McGinn traced ' back Taft's
record, showing his great capacity for
administrative problems and appealed
to voters to support him as one of the
ablest men ever nominated for the
Presidency of the United States.

CAMPAIGN OF ADVERTISING AND "ELUCIDATION."

Manner Any Homo Now Without Piano or Organ or Pianola
Piano Will Be Intensely Interested and Should Order an Extra
Copy of Next Tuesday Morning's Oregonian.
analysis will be made in this article
and subsequent ones, which we believe
will demonstrate to any thinking man
Very few men and women buy more
than one piano or other musical instru
ment in a lifetime. This is the reason
why there are not many who are post
ed upon piano values and piano-selling
conditions. This is the reason .also, we
may add, why so much mis-information
in regard to this business is permitted
to be circulated.
With the aid of manufacturers rep
resented by Eilers Piano House, a most
far-reaching campaign of piano adver
tising and piano selling will be In
augurated next Tuesday morning. It
will pay to secure an extra copy of
The Oregonian on that day. Many will
be given opportunity to secure a piano
or other musical instrument free.
Numerous points not now thoroughly
understood by the public will be care
fully explained. It will be a "looking-behind-the-scenes"
as it were.
Competition in the piavio trade Is se
vere. The more or less plausible argu
ments for the purpose of effecting
sales will be presented and analyzed.
The situation pertaining to branch
houses and consignment agencies, and
their inability to compete openly with
a concern such as Eilers Piano House
will be impartially explained.
The system of selling through com
mission agents and parties who pose
as experts and lis cost to the buyer
will be exposed.
Much light will he thrown upon the
"wholesaling" of pianos to retail buy
ers. Some astonishing exposures of con
fidential" (?) discounts of "holier-than-thou"
housts, claiming for themselves
much virtue as a "one - price" house
(meaning in reality almost a double
price), will be made.
The many mystenlous and really
flimsy claims for superiority of this or
that make will be dissected.
In short, a careful and unbiased
and woman in the West that if all
dealers were honest in their represen
tations and admissions there would be
but one place in Oregon supplying the
musical wants of the West, which con
cern, needless to say, would be fillers
Piano House.
We realize fully that the Northwest
is developing rapidly. Thousands of
homes aro being established each
month, who should be posted upon the
question of piano and musical instru
ment buying.
We are not blind to th fact that the
piano trade cannot possibly be centered
altogether in one house. Nor do we
wish to have it appear that we deny
anv honest concern the right to pursue
a 'straightforward musical instrument
business.
But the buyer has a right to know
as to where he or she is able to do
the best for him or herself.
From its inception it haa been the
object of Eiiers Piano House to furnish
the very best of everything In the mu
sical Instrument line at the lowest pos
sible cost. Eilers Piano House has the
facilities in every way to do this.
Eilers Piano House possesses advan

joys. The record shows that out of ten
thousand instruments sold, 7749 were
supplied by Eilers Piano House, 2251

In the forthcoming campaign it will
be our aim to give the widest possible
publicity to the situation as we see it,
with a view also to still further in

PENDLETON TAKES LEAD
Ships More Wool Than Any Other
City in West.
PENDLETON. Or.. Oct, 17. (Spe
cial.) This city has suddenly leaped
Into prominence as a shipping point
by the discovery made this evening,
that more wool was shipped from Pen
dleton during the present season than
from any other point west of the Mis
sissslppl. The Pendleton scouring
plant, which this evening closed the
most successful five months' run in
the history of the plant, aided mate
rially In making this record. During
the present year the wool shipments
of this city have amounted to over
7,500,000 pounds. This record. Is not
equaled by any other point in the
"West, not even San Francisco or
Great Falls. Mont. The latter was for
merly the largest wool-shipping point.
Not all the wool shipped from this
city can fairly be called Pendleton
wool, as It Includes the entire output
of the Wallowa country, most of the
Arlington wool and considerable from
Heppner and Shaniko. During the
season of five months, which was
brought to a close today, the scouring
mills have handled more wool than
any concern in the West. During that
time the mills have sorted "and scoured
3,000,000 pounds of wool and graded
and baled 4,000.000 pounds, the latter
including all the product of the Wal
lowa country, which was shipped here
for that purpose.
In addition to the 4.000.000 pounds
hipped by the grading and baling de
partment, and the 3.000.000 pounds
shipped by the scouring department
of the plant, about 500.000 pounds were
handled by other warehouses in Pen-'
dleton.
