I am glad to see The GUARD take a stand against an extra se.-sion of the legislature. One teuton every two years is enough, Beaven knows, the fllmay argument in todays Oiegoniau that it would stop the paying of interest is almost too silly to notice. I think the press of the state should protest against an ex tra session in no uncertain tones. As to the seuatorship, Judge Kakin would make an ideal Senator, pure, in dependent, man'y and honest.
