The ques tion is pertinent because one of the candidates for county judge in this county is a successful bus iness man and the other is a law yer recently admitted to practice. It is perhaps not improper, in this connection, to allude to the fact that tke democratic party in this county has established its position on the question. When E. Holgate was elected judge in 1876 he had not been admitted to the bar and had read law but little. Four years ago the dem ocratic candidate was Jas. A. Cauthorn, a non-lawyer. The theory that there is an implied constitutional objection to the holding of the office by non-lawyers is very hazv. It is only necessary to reflect that at the present time Marion, Linn, Polk, Lincoln and many other counties have non-attorney judges, in order to understand how untenable is that argument. The constitutional objection would have been raised against them had there been the slight est hope that it would succeed. And it might be added that these judges have not made any grave mistakes, but on the contrary their decisions as trial judges have seldom been reversed. The Times, in its argument, takes it for granted that every lawyer understands law, that every lawyer would make a good judge and that a man who is not a lawver does not understand law and cauld not act intelligent- as a trfKi fuefge?" It is hardly necessary to prove the contrary. We all know that there are law yers and lawyers, and that a good trial lawyer often fails as judge. On the other hand, many men not admitted to the bar, have eood "leeal heads" and sound judgment And the e sential qualification or a eood judge is judgment. ! circulate as freely as possible.

The political arguments of the Gazette are directed to citizens, not to partizans, and the aim has been to present those matters that most intimately concern the people of Benton county, as such, and as citizens of the state. The Gazette has a habit, good or bad, of being very frank and very independent; and while it is a otrictly orthodox republican paper, it docs not pretend I hat it al ways pleases all republicans. And it does not profess to believe that the republican party lias abjorbad all tho brains or all the honesty. Nor does it attempt to disguise any corruption that has republican authors. Hence Hie Gazette claims the right to be heard by those who do not profess republican principles, as well as by those who 11 do. And the claim will be allowed. VERBUM SAT SAPIENT I. Mr. Daly's paper emerges to i A few democratic papers are remark: "The Gazette and j claiming that Mr. Geer is a mem the Times seem to be consider-. ber of the A. P. A. A few re ably worried over Simonism and j publican papers are claiming Corbettism, neither of which is j that Mr. King is a member of republicanism or populism." i the A. P. A.

They therefore opposes Simonism. j could not uphold those secret Mr. Daly's paper, a few j teachings of the order that made months ago, informed the public ! the order so objectionable to new that Mr. Simon was being mis- j members, and the wholesale represented, was not a power 111 j withdrawal from the association politics and would not be a can- j when they realized the tenden didate for any position any more, cies, left the A.

And lie would not care to be senator unless he hoped to have enough friends in the senate to give him control of the legislature. Mr. Daly is candidate on the republican ticket for joint sena tor from Lincoln and Benton counties, and for that reason the Gazette is trying to be as ap parently friendly with Mr. Daly's paper as circumstances will just ify. If Mr. Daly's paper is in discreet, that is not the fault ot this journal. And it is quietly- suggested that Mr. Daly's paper caii find more profitable employ-1 ment than barking at a republi- can paper that is trying its best to avoid stepping on Mr. Daly's political corns. TONGUE ANDFREE SILVER. Mr. Tongue is not a contrac tionist. He has never opposed nor does he now oppose the gold standard, but he is one of those republicans who favor the largest use of silver consistent with maintaining the silver money j at a parity with gold. He be- - ... , , J , re port, and in a money that ' will can to vote aajst any republican nominee. Nor does the Gazette control anv votes That is not its e'ery republican candidate. But it does not propose to stultify itsell for any candidate nor for any parly. T ,. , .. . Tr troubled with constipation, Sallow Skin. alld a Tired Feelinr. take Karl's Clover is essentially a political GOVERNOR AND A. P. A. that really believed all that the A. P. A. is supposed to have stood for, and,on the other hand, it is only a few radical men who care a contmenal sixpence now whether a candidate once be longed to the A. P. A. or not. We may properly ask, "is he sensible and broadminded?" If he is, wc may have no fear that he is au A. P. A., to hurt. T. T. Geer and Will R. King are not built on the narrow plan. They are both clean, upright, broadgauge men, aud the Ga zette, for one, is proud of the fact; and while this paper has never maintained a friendly at- titude toward the A. P. A., it j does not propose to raise the ! ghost of that organization in this campaign. Messrs. Geer aud King may have belonged to the order or may not, but surely we may trust mat, Deing nouesc men, and asking the support -of all classes, they will, if elected, be no respecter of class or re- lioion. TIT FOR TAT. Nearly every man and woman in Benton county, no matter what his or her political belief, is interested in the election of Frank I. Dunbar as secretary ot state. Mr. Kincaid does not know the temper of Benton county people if he immagines that a servant of the state can insult them and neglect his duty so far as their interests are concerned, and still secure their votes. Kincaid has no claim on any party. The republicans surely cannot support him. Since Mr. Kincaid claims that he is still a republican "just where he was twenty years ago," he is hardly in position to demand democratic and populist votes, nor will he get many in Benton. Republi- can or no republican, we have a just grievance against Mr. Kin caid and we will vent it on elec tion day. FOR THE LEGISLATURE. Mr. Nichols is keenly alive to every interest of the people of Rpatnn prtiintv TTo is fi ..iihtnii tial farmer, a progressive public spirited citizen and an intelligent educated gentleman. He will be a credit to the county in the Iegis j appointed agents foi tile Cele lature of the state. k,.h ui i nnnr.iAC This is not meaningless partizan praise, ine most araenc uemo crats in the county, silver demo crats too, bespeak Mr. Nichols sterling worth. The Oregon Agricultural college, the pride of our county, will have a good friend in the legislature should Mr. Nichols be elected, va friend who knows its real practi cal needs, and who will exert him self in its behalf. OREGON FOR OREGON The people of Oregon hare a right to demand that the new custom house to be erected at Portland be built of Oregon stone. From a business standpoint and from the standpoint of sentiment, they are justified in asking that the govern ment buildings erected iu Oregon be built of Oregon material.

The present healthy condition of Benton county finances, our warrants drawing a premium and our debt being rapidly extin guised, is due to the fact that Jfldge Hufford is a good business manager. The fact that he is also a good lawyer does not dis prove that it was his business tact that brought Benton county safely out of the storm of hard times. Aud it is business man agement that taxpayers still con sider the chief essential of a county judge. VEATCR ON TONGUE. Mr. Veatch, die gold democrat who is running for congress on llie silver ticket has prepared an article on "Tougue's record," which several papers have pub tubed and which stamp Mr. Veatch a:, an unscrupulous politician. Among other things cited is Mr. Tongue's vote 011 several occasions sus taining the President's Cuban policy. Every intelligent citizen ought to know now that there was no powder for the American navy when some patriotic but misguided congressmen wished to press a conflict with Spain a fGW mouths ago. Some of the other "points" of Mr. Veatch, are absolute misstatements, and as for many of the measures Mr. Tongue is said to ha ve voted for or against, we have only Mr. Veatch's word for it that they were sjood or bad. Often bills ap parently meritorious are actually bad measures aud often bills that might ap pear extravagant are actually necessary. MONROE ITEMS, Don't forget the school picnic on May 28th.
