St. Dnis is a New Jersey girl who
has charmed the crowned heads of Eu
rope and the uncrowned heads of Amer
ica with her Hindu dances. While she
ws a member of Mrs. Isle Carter s
cempanv appearing: in "Du Barry," she
picked up a cigarette card with a pic
ture of a Natch dancer, and from it got
the idea of doing East Indian 'dances
herself. When she had trained herself in
her art. she found a manager who went
up and down Broadway offering her to
every theater in New York, but without
success. It was a long time before she
found an opening. When she did, she
became the rage. She danced to big
audiences at $5 a head and made a great
deal of money. When her dances were
still popular in America, Miss SL Denis
went abroad and had the satisfaction of
dancing before King Edward and the
Kaiser. That meant success In England
and Germany. Now she has returned
with a new set of dances and a company
of assistant Hindus anT will appear at
the Hudson Theater. New York, Novem

of the United States.

Ther had a very spooky time on the
Prlnxessin Irene on her voyage to New
York from Naples, this week. Bueapia
Palladmo, the famous Italian medium,
was aboard, and held three seances for
the edification of some of the ship's offi
cers and passengers. Ghostly kisses were
felt, and a cold wind blew from the-brow
of the medium. All theee things the pas
sengers attested when they landed In
New York. Mme. Palladlno Is the most
famous medium In the world, and her
coming has been anticipated with Inter
est by some of the greatest scientists in
the country. Professor William James,
of Harvard, has sat at the seances of
Mme. Palladlno. and has used them In
his study of psychic phenomena. Other
scientists of this and foreign countries
who are Investigating seriously spiritual
istic phenomena have used Mme. Palla
dmo as a medium and take her seriously.
Professor Munsterberg. of Harvard: Dr.
Jsstrow. of the University of Pennsyl
vania: Professor Minot, tr. furl Dana
and Dr. Morton Prince are some of the
thinkers who will test her powers. She
was closely in touch with Professor Lom
broso m his spiritualist Investigations and
it is thought Mme. Palladlno will try to
materalixe his spirit while here.
Julia Hoerner is not the first woman
to make a balloon ascension, but she Is
the first to go after the Iahm cup. She
was in the car of John Berry's balloon
when he started from St. Louis with a
view of beating the record of Holland
Forbes. Miss Hoerner Is the pioneer
woman aeronaut of St, Louis, too. She
hss made many ascensions.
The course of true love has not run
smooth with the Marquise de la Char
erte. She was Susan Hennins. of Louis
vflle, and he married her Marquis at
St. Patrick's Cathedral this week. It was
noted that her mother was not present
at the ceremony, and -it now develops
that she did not approve of the match
and refused to lend it her countenance.
Meantime, the chauffeur who drove the
Marquis and his fiancee around New
York is trying to collect a bill of more

quite a little noise about it.

reports her voice In splendid condition.
With Sembrich. devoting herself to con

and the statutes permitting by indirec
tion the selection of Senators by popu
lar vote, is to change our form of gov
ernment. The lawyer's duty Is not
solely to the client who may employ
him about a particular matter, but his
highest duty Is to the people of the
state and nation In which he resides.
By virtue of his education and learn
ing the lawyer Is best qualified to un
derstand and appreciate the good and
bad qualities of these political theories.
The "initiative and referendum" means,
of course, direct legislation, and not
through the medium of representatives.
In other words, it means a change in
our form of government from a repub
lic to a democracy. And again. I beg
to call your attention to the words of
James. Madison:
"Theoretic politicians, who have pa
tronized this species of government
(democracy) have erroneously sup
posed that by reducing- mankind to a
perfect equality In their political.
rights, they would, at the same time,
be perfectly equalized and assimilated
In their possessions, their opinions, and
their passions."
We cannot overlook the experiences
of history as summarized by him in
these words:
"Such democracies have ever been
spectacles of turbulence and conten
tion; have ever been found incompati
ble with personal security or the rights
of property; and have in general been
as short in their lives as they have
been violent in their deaths."
The "recall" tends to make represen
tatives mere errand boys; to deprive
them of courage and independence and
make their abilities of no benefit to
the people. They must. If they are re
tained In office, have their ears to the
ground and be influenced in their con
duct by the wishes of societies and ag
gregations of men formed for their own
selfish purposes, and by so-called pub
lic opinion, created by tBe one man or
two or three men who control the
newspapers of the particular commun
ity. Tiie public must of necessity form
their opinions as to most masters from
the facts as stated in the press, and It
Is $oo often the case that newspapers
color the statements, of facts as. to lo

. The system of having thepeople express
their choice of United States Senators'at
a general election and to have the mem
bers of the Legislature pledge themselves
to elect to the Senate that person . who
shall receive, tke highest number of votes
at the general election, is contrary to the
spirit of the Constitution of the United
States. It may be that it would he wise
to amend the constitution' so as to pro
vide for election of Senators , by direct
vote. That such an amendment- wgfild
work any improvement in the character
and ability of the Senate has not yet been
demonstrated. .A system such as now
prevails in a few states whereby one may
be elected United States Senator, although
he receives a small minority of, the pop
ular vote, can hardly be commended upon
any tlwory. It has been authoritatively
stated that at the last election in Wiscon
sin, the Senator chosen received' but 17
per cent of the entire vote, and his state
ment of his expenses in that election
shows an expenditure of more than $100.
000. One of the purposes of the provision
in the Federal Constitution as to the
method of election of Senators, was to
insure the election of thoughtful and con
servative men, who would represent the
calm and deliberate judgment of the most
intelligent men of their respective states,
and not the iU-digested ideas of tempo
rary whims or passions -of the moment.
The n?w idea means that the candidate
for United States Senator will be tempted
like - the "candidate for the House
of Representatives, to publicly express,
his approval of all of the latest political
fads, although ho may be confident that
they are entirely without merit or harm
ful. And experience has demonstrated
that the man who has little to recommend
him, except wealth If that be a recom
mendationhas quite as great an oppor
tunity of reaching the United States Sen
ate, through this new system, as under
the constitutional method. . If "the people
are to be trusted" 'to use an expression of
the advocates of these new ideas, to elect
United States Senators at a general elec
tion, they are likewise to' be trusted to
elect men of Integrity . and ability as
members of the State Legislatures who
will, through the constitutional method,
select United States Senators. That the
people are to be trusted and that the

In settling the Prinees estate his fam
ilv found that it must reckon with his
wife. They approached her to sign a
relinquishment of her rights in his prop

would restore to her her own private for.
nrhir.h tiQti hopn.ln the Prince's keep
ing. She said that the presents given her
at her. farewell perrornjance were mc
worth. 55,000. The family refused to make
settlement on that basis. Since that time
Mme. Arral has been pursued by emis
saries of the family. She went from her
home in Liege to Costa Rica, thence to
the" United States and to Europe. Then
she returned to the S"tates, and at New
Orleans met and married Mr. Bassett.
He followed her to France and afterward
to Cambodia, where he was director of
an opera compagiy subsidized by the
French Government to play through the
six months' exposition. She was con
stantly annoyed while traveling through
the Far East, and at Australia she was
approached through the Belgian Consul
and an offer of compromise made. She
was told that the Consul would turn over
to her all her jewelry if she would sign
a release. Thle she refused, to do. She
continued her tour of Australia and New
Zealand, and went thence to Fiji and to
San Francisco. Their baggage was stolen
and there was every evidence that they
were being pursued by spies seeking to
obtain possession of her papers, and espe
cially of her marriage certificate. The
pursuit climaxed in the attack on Mr.
Bassett in San Francisco, after she had
declined an ofer of settlement on pay
,ment of HO.OuO down and $10,000 in six
months. Mr. Bassett says he will hold
out for a" full restitution of his wife's

fathers were men of the greatest wisdom,
has been demonstrated, among other
ways, by the fact of the continued exist
ence of the Nation under the same Con
stitution and the happiness and prosper
ity of the people, notwithstanding the
great Increase of population and enlarge
ment of territory. This new method of
selecting Senators in 'a few states may
rtave one good effect. It may act as a
stimulant in the other states and dis
courage corrupt practices in the Legis
latures. The "direct primary" law, as it .exists
in this state, and in my own state, has
some things to recommend It. It is
reasonable to believe, I think, that in
small villages and towns ad in small
cities, and in counties containing no
large cities, that at least as good re
sults will be obtained through the di
rect primary system as the convention
system as to" ordinary offices. In large
cities and in the state at large the,
question is a more serious one. As to
'state offices, however, the candidates
for Governor are bound" to be in the
limelifchf. and. therefore, an intelligent
vote should be cast and nominations
by some direct primary system might
be wise. I know sfor myself that, al
though I tried with some considerable
energy to advise myself about the mer
its of the different candidates for of
fice, that I have not been able to vote
Intelligently at the direct primary as to
many offices. The expenses connected
with two camplagns, which the 4irec
primary compels, ( make it-almost im
possible for one to succeed as a can
didate for a state office u nines he has
considerable means.. The result is
bound to be that generally the candi
dates for offices 1n large districts will
be men who make politics a business,
and in order to succeed combinations
will be at least thought to- be neces
sary. Instead of two great political
parties, there spring up a score or more
of temporary political organizations,
that live for only that particular cam
paign. We had in my own state at the
last election a large number of so
called advisory ballots. We had the
sajoon ticket that had on it nearly
every office. Including judges of the
courts and a candidate for United
States Senator; we had- an anti-saloon
ticket, a business man's ticket, a tax
payer's ticket, a union, labor ticket,
and several others, besides ballots un

labeled. In my own state we have had
only one election under It, but it is
fair to state that the consensus of pub
lic opinion Is that the Legislature thus
selected contained on the average less
ability than any other Legislature ever
selected in the state, except the one
elected in the populistic year of 1896.
Furthermore, our last Legislature was
the most heedless of the people's mon
ey, the most extravagant . legislative
body since statehood. If is not my
purpose to enter into a lengthy dis
cussion of the good and bad character
istics of the direct primary law, ex
cept as to one fe'ature of it, which to
my mind Is most iniquitous and which
should receive the condemnation of the
bar of this state, and of my own state.
Individually and collectively. And
that Is the feature providing for selec
tion of judges. Three general systems
prevail among the English-speaking
people as to the selection of judges. I
have before pointed out the system
prevailing under the Federal Constitu
tion, and the excellent results of that
system. The system of appointment
also prevails, as you are all aware. In
England and in all her colonies, and
we must admit that the English courts
and the courts of English colonies have
been, courts of high character and ex
cellent ability, in which even-handed
Justice, with rare exception, has been
meted out, without' regard to the.
wealth or poverty or station, in life
of the litigant. In those courts the
rights and liberties of all the people
have been secure. In several states of
this Union the judges are not elected
by'the people, but are appointed by the
Governor and confirmed by the .legis
lative body as a whole or by the Sen
ate, except in three of the states the
selection is made by the legislature In
joint session. The states wherein
Judges are not elected by the people
are: Massachusetts, . Maine, Connecti
cut, New Hampshire, Vermont, New
Jersey, Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana,
Rhode Island and Virginia. In the other
states, namely, the state where Judges
are elected by the people, there seems
to prevail three different systems. In
some of them they are nominated In gen
eral political conventions; in some they
are nominated in separate judicial con
ventions; in the others they are nomi
nated by a direct primary law. While
there may be others' that have adopted
the system of separate judicial conven
tions, I personally know only two states,
to wit: New York and Illinois. I have no
particular acquaintance with the Judl-"
cial situation in Illinois, but have some
familiarity with the situation in .New
York .and am satisfied that the separate
judicial convention there prevailing has
worked satisfactorily with rare exception.
One reason why it has worked so satis
factorily is because the bar of the State
of New York felt free at all times to ex
press themselves frankly about candi
dates for judicial honors, not only pri
vately but in bar conventions. In other
words, the bar of the state courageously
exercises the influence that it nas anu
oucht to have In electing the mqn having
i highest hidicial attainments for tnose oi-
fices, and when a mistake is made in a
Judicial convention, the Dar at once au
vises the public and undertakes to cor
rect the error. In the judicial district
in which I formerly resided In that state,
there was elected this month to the office
of Judee of the Supreme Court thS Dem
ocratic nominee by a plurality of over
10,000. although the district has a nor
mal Republican 10.000 majority. The Re
publican judicial convention had nomi
nated a candidate whom the bar pro
nounced unfit and through the Influence
of the bar he was defeated, and a most
excellent man elected.
Questions Previous Decisions.
As practitioners. when we find a cer
tain question of law under investigation.
decided the same way by the Supreme
Court of the United States and by the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts, and
the Court of Appeals of New York, and
that the question has not been passed
upon by the courts of the state in which
our cause is pending, unless all of the
other courts of the country hold to the
contrary, which never happens, we reel
confident that, our own court will follow
thn decision of the courts named. Anu
that Is because that the bar generally
and the courts of the country generally
recognize the exceptional ability and the
high character of the courts named.
Without making odious comparisons be
tween the courts of last resort of the
different states, it is fair to state that
the courts selected through appointment
6y the chief executive, or nominated
through separate judicial. conventions, are
at least not inferior in character and
ability to the courts selected by othef
methods. It is worthy of comment in
this connection that the terms of office
of the judges of the courts last referred
to are either for life or for very many
years (14 years in New York), and the
salaries are reasonable.
I think that no disinterested unbiased
man will contend that the nomination
of judges in general political conventions
is an ideal system, nor is any other sys
tem to be commended which makes the
office of judge a subject for political trad
ing or forces the candidate into politics.
"It is plain," says Ambassador Bryce,
In his great work "The American Com
monwealth," "that Judges, when sucked
Into the vortex of politics, must lose
dignity, impartiality, and influence."
TlireeTliings Lower Judiciary.
Again, he says: "Any "one of the three
phenomena I have described popular
elections, short terms and small salaries
would be sufficient to lower the char
acter of the judiciary. Popular elections
throw the choice into the hands of politi
cal parties, that is to say, of knots of
wirepullers inclined to use every offlce as
a means of rewarding political services,
and garrisoning with grateful parysans
posts which may conceivably become of
political importance. Short terms, though
they afford useful opportunities of getting
rid of a man. who has proved a failure,
but done no act justifying an address
for his removal, oblige the judge to re
member and .keep on good terms with
those who have made him what he is,
and in whose hands his fortunes lie.
They induce timidity, they discourage
Independence. And small salaries prevent
able men from offering themselves for
places whose income Js, perhaps, only
one-tenth of what a leading barrister can
make by private practice. Putting the
three sources of mischief together, no
one will be surprised to hear that in
many of the American states the state
judges are men of moderate abilities and
scanty learning, inferior, and sometimes
vastly inferior, to the best of the advo
cates who practice before theinV'
We expect a judge to have some ideas
about political matters. A man devoid
of such ideas would be unfit for the
bench. AVhat we really mean when we
say that we are in favor of a nonpartisan
judiciary is that we are opposed to men
who are adepts at the political game and
who have taken prominent parts in run
ning the party maehi:, or who are
chronic office-holders, as candidates for
judicial honors, and that we are opposed
to any system which particularly aids
such men in obtaining judgeships. It is
claimed by some of the gentlemen who
advocate the selection- of judges under
the direct primary system that the re
sult will be. the selection of judges with
out regard to their political opinions and
that the candidates for judgeships will
not, under this system, make deals,
trades and combinations and do various
other-things of an undignified and some
times reprehensible character that are
done by the ordinary office-seeker. In
this the .advocates of that system are
mistaken, as has been demonstrated by
experience. Politics, using the word in
Its worse sensp, is, by this system, forced
upon the candidates for a Judgeship and
also upon him who wears the judicial
ermine, provided he hopes for re-election.
This system makes a gumshoe politician
out of nearly every such candidate. To

right-thinking men. The system takes
from the judge his courage to eniorue m
law in the face of public excitement. To
xrt pTitro rv tn nrmuifif whim with an
election coining on is suicidal.
Popular Vote In Quertlon.
When Borne great question of govern
mental policy- Is Involved, we are
agreed that the most satisfactory way
of solving the problem is tnrougn pop
ular vote. The people may likewise be
trusted to select, through popular vote,
nearly all public servants from the
highest to the lowest. But there are
questions that cannot be determined In
that manner. I presume that In the
City of Portland there are several gen
tlemen who have acquired local fame
as physicians and surgeons and their
names are familiar to the general pub
lic, and if the question were to be sub
mitted to popular vote as to what half
dozen men are best qualified as physi
cians and surgeons, that the decision
would not be far wrong. But If the
question were to arise as to what phy
sician In your city is the safest and
surest diagnostician, would it not be
ridiculous to submit that question to
popular vote? Not 5 per cent of the
people could vote Intelligently upon
that subject. Or, if you please. If the
question were to arise as to what man
in your state Is best fitted for the po
sition of hydraulic engineer or to con
struct a great bridge, would any man
contemplate submitting that question
to pppular vote? One may have pleas
ing manners and be a successful advo
cate, without any judicial qualifications.
On the other hand, one may, by virtue
of his studious habits and diffident
manners and inability to obtain busi
ness which becomes a matter of com
ment in the press, be unknown to the
general public, and the best qualified
man in the community for a Judge
ship. A pleasant smile, an iron grip
and a loud voice, with ordinary intelli
gence, may make an ideal Congres
sional candidate, and may likewise be
sufficient for the services that the or
dinary Congressman performs, but we
demand brains and education and abil
ity and courage and independence In
our judges. It is unquestionably true
that the people as a whole will vote as
honestly and with as much Intelligence
as possible under the direct primary
system. This must be qualified, how-
ever, with the statement that there are
certain organizations which boast that
all the members thereof will vote to
gether as to every proposition that they
consider material to their organization,
and that they select candidates for
judges whom they believe will use their
power as Judges to further the ends of
these organizations. While most men
vote honestly and without ulterior pur
poses, it is Impossible for them to vote
intelligently on this subject. Suppose
there are six candidates for District
Judge, to be selected, and 20 names are
on the direct primary ballot. It must
be a fact that each voter will know
nothing about many of these candidates
and but very ltitle about a few. The
law requires him to vote for six. He
tries to do his duty. He perhaps finds
six names that are familiar to him. He
may know of some because he has met
them at some political or loage cr
church gathering. He may know of
some because they are already on the
district bench, and he has heard them
spoken of or he-has read of them in
the newspapers or he has seen them
in court. He may know or otners oe
cause their names have become famil
iar to hjm through the newspapers as
Police Court Judges or Justices or the
Peace in sensational or amusing cases
which have come before them and been
commented wpon In the newspapers.
The quiet, studious, unassuming, edu
cated lawyer, who has not appeared as
an advocate in sensational lawsuits, or
been on the bench, known to the law
yers generally as well qualified for Ju
dicial honors, will be unknown to the
ordinary voter. In some communities
where the direct primary system pre
vails it has been demonstrated by ex
perience that' the best method of
reaching the goal of Judgeship of a
court of general jurisdiction Is through
the Police Court. A Police Judge may
be a very good man and may make a
very good nisi prins judge after some
experience, but his training as Police
Judge is along very narrow and limited
lines and manifestly such as not to es
pecially fit him for a court of general
jurisdiction. But because he is known
as "judge" and his name is frequently
in the newspapers, when he becomes a
candidate for a real judgeship his elec
tion is almost a certainty. The ex
periences of Seattle, or rathe- King
County, Washington, in the last elec
tion are interesting and instructive.
The bar of the City of Seattle felt It
their dut'y to advise the public as to
their opinions concerning judicial can
didates, and held a bar primary, un
der the same general rules as outlined
in the direct primary law. The result
of the bar primary was the recommen
dation for re-election, as I recolect it,
of all the then judges, except one or
two. One of the men recommended
was a professor in the law school' of
the university, and. of course, not gen
erally known to the public. The judge
who failed of recommendation by the
bar is a very clever politician and was
nominated at the direct primary. The
law school professor was defeated, and
the man who was nominated has been
a prominent politician for many years
in the City of Seattle, and made many
speeches during the campaign's in his
own behalf.
. Convention System Boosted.
The people know that they are not qual
ified to select the judges, and the intel
ligent and unbiased members of the com
munity know that the sole desire of the
bar in the matter of selecting Judges is
to select men who are absolutely honest,
courageous and independent, and who are
learned in the 'law, and who will treat
every litigant, rich and poor, weak and
powerful, with absolute impartiality, with
out fear and without favor.
The convention system, imperfect as It
is. Is superior in at least two respects to
the direct primary system. One is that
the members of the convention have the
opportunity to be somewhat advised,
through conversation with one another.
There Is but one way to cure an old sore or chronic ulcer, and that is
to remove the cause that produces and keeps it open. No matter where
located, any sore that remains until it becomes chronic does so because of
impure blood; the circulation constantly discharges it3 polluted matter into
the place and it i3 impossible for nature to heal the sore. S. S. S. heal3
sores and ulcers by purifying the blood. It removes every trace of taint
or impurity from the circulation, and thus completely does away with the
cause. No local application reaches below the infected flesh at the spot,
and for this reason can have no curative effect on a sore or ulcer; while'
such treatment is being used alone, the germs and impurities are constantly
increasing in the blood and the sore is bound to grow worse. When S.S.S.
has cleansed the blood and enriched and purified the circulation the
place begins to take on a more healthy appearance, the different symptoms
show improvement, the flesh around the ulcer gets firm, new skin and

HER BABY BOY A
MASS OF EHUPTION
Pimply Rash Spread Until Head,
Face and Body were Covered with
Eczema Hands Bandaged to
Keep from Scratching Was a
Fearful Sight and Defied Cure.
CUTICURA MADE SKIN
CLEAR AND HEALTHY
"My baby's eczema came on when he
was three months old, like a rash on his
face and then spread over his head.
Then there began to form a lot of small
pimples over his head from which a
watery substance came out and formed
a regular mass of crust all over his head,
face and body. I had to tie woolen cloths
on his hands to keep him from scratching
himself. He was a fearful sight to look
at I went to a drug store and tried
some of their remedies for eczema but
they did not do him any good. I then
called in one of our leading physicians
and he tried several kinds of medicine
and gave me prescriptions, but they
only made him worse. ...
"At this stage a lady friend or mine
came in and advised me to try the Cuti
cura Remedies. That afternoon I sent
for a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuti
oura Ointment and one vial of Cuttour
Pills, and in less Mian a week I could sej
a vast improvement ki him. I washed
him all over every morning with the
Cuticura Soap and gave him an appli
cation of the Cuticura Ointment after
his bath. I kept on using the Cuticura
Remedies until he was completely cured.
They left his skin clear and healthy and
I always have kept the Cuticura Reme
dies in the house ever since. I highly
recommend Cutioura to all persons suf
fering from eczema. Mrs. Kate Broug

as to the qualifications of the candidates,
while the voter at the primary is deprived
of that opportunity, and is not even Riven
much information throuKh the press, be
cause newspapers hesitate to express un
favorable views as to candidates for ju
dicial honors. Another Is thut if the dom
inant political party should nominate an
unfit man for a Judgeship and the
other party should make an excellent
nomination, an opportunity -Is afforded
to the intelligent and independent
voter to bring about the defeat of the
unfit man, and secure the election of
the competent man, while under the
direct primary system, as It prevails
In the States of Washington and 'Ore
gon, the nomination nt the primary Is
equivalent to an election, as no method
has .been devised for putting any other
names upon the official ballot, except
through nomination at the primary. .
and if, perchance, a mistake is made in
that nomination, there is no practical
method of correcting the error.
It seems to me that the best results will
be obtainld by the methods pointed out
by the fathers In the Constitution of the
United States, which prevails also In
many of the states whose courts have the
respect of the world, and likewise pre
vails in England and all her colonies,
viz: appointment by the chief executive'
and confirmation by the legislative body,
or one of the branches thereof. -Whether
the Governor Is nominated under the
direct primary or nominated in some as
sembly or convention. It is almost a cer
tainty that the man elected Governor will
be a man of ability and of high ideals.
and If he is entrusted with the power to
appoint all of the Judges of the state,
and the sentiment of the people la that
those appointments should be made with
out regard to politics, that he will not
violate his trust. Confirmation by the.
legislative body as a whole or by one of ,
the branches thereof, would be a check
upon any possible danger of the Governor
'making a purely personal or political or
unwise appointment. In order to secure
the best results, as experience and reason
must teach us, the term of office should,
be of considerable length and the salaries
adequate. But whether the wisest method
of selecting Judges Is by appointment by
the Governor or through nomination by
general political conventions, or separate
judicial conventions, or in some other
manner not yet tried, the fact is that
the direct primary system of selecting so
called non-partisan judges is and is bound
to be a failure, and will eventually re
sult in a weak and inefficient and spine
less judiciary.
In conclusion, permit me to suggest
that this question is of the greatest 1m-
portance. and one that must be taten up f
by the bar of the Northwest. ( It is our
duy to consider this matter carefully and
prayerfully and to advise the people of
the' results of our deliberations, and I
therefore respectfully suggest to you that
conventions of the lawyers of Oregon and
Washington should be called to discuss
and consider this question, with the end
In view of preparing such statutes as may
be necessary to put into legal form our
views for recommendation to the legis
latures of these states. It is fitting that
the first step should be taken by the Ore
gon Bar Association. Oregon is not only
the sister, but is also in a sense the
mother of the State of Washington. I
am confident that if this association will
extend an invitation to the lawyers of
the State of Washington to meet the
lawyers of Oregon, on some future oc
casion, to discuss this particular question,
that your invitation will be met with
the heartiest response.
