JUDGE ELLIS
Our newly-elected county
judge, Mr. II. C. Ellis of Bend
assumed the duties of his office
last Monday, and for four years
and a half he- will be at the
head of thfe county administra
tion. Poilr years and a half,
because by an amendment
adopted at the recent election,
county and state ofllcers wil
liSre'&her be elected in iNoVem-
o'er; rind Judge Ellis'' successor
tvlll not be elected uniil Novem
ber; 1012.
fudge Ellis' was elected after
it iferj' Spirited contest, carried
bii through the campaigns pre
feeding .both the primary and
general elections, and the splen
Qm victory he won in both was
ii ftatterintr testimonial to' the
iiigh regard in whifeh the peo
ple oT this coilnty hold him, and
to the expectations which the
have of an economical and bus
iness-like administration under
Jlirri.
That judge Ellis will justify
llfese expectations his friends
fconndentlj' believe and predict.
Hpon assuming: the duties of
he county judgeship, he has
the confidence of the citizens of
Hie county in his ability and
'integrity. While the duties are
hew to him, his business and
legal training m will enable him
lo soon familiatize himself with
he details of the office, and to
conduct the business of the
county in a niannpr which will
reflect credit upon his adminis
tration. In this work he will
have the backing and assist
ance of Commissioners Bayley
and Rice, and under the pres
tnt county court we predict a
business-like and economical
administration of the county's
affairs, with lair and ifnpartia
treatment to all sections of the
county alike.
HERE, TOO
Prohibition is here and the
real struggle has just now be
gun. The difficulty in securing
the prohibition law wtfs but in
significant compared to the dif
ficulty of enforcing the' law and
making a success of the prin
ciple.
The officials can do but little
alone. Every responsible citi
zen is in duty bound to co op
erate with' tue officials in en
forcing and carrying out the
provisions of the law. The law
may not be perfect but the peo
ple of Umatilla county have
passed it by an overwhelming
majority and they are evidently
emphatically in favor of it.
There are dozens of ways in
wMcli the law can be evaded
nrl nvftrtlirown. but none of
these methods are creditable to
the law-breakers. No matter
bow many technicalities may
be taken advantage of to defeat
the meaniDg of the law, yet one
ihing must be remembered and
ihat is that the people have
iassed the law and want it en
forced, and if this law cannot
be enforced, the people will
Aass laws which will be effect
ive. East 6regonian.
CROPS WILL BE AVERAGE
Reports from Umatilla coun
ty, which is the banner wheat
district of the state, indicate
faat while a fair crop will be
harvested this season, it will be
considerably eliort of last year's
6rpp Similar reports come
hokOXt the other wheat dis
tricts of the state, the late
Spring and the long Bpell of
dry weftther having cut down
the yield, While one does not
want to take comfort out of the
misfortunes of others, there is
souie satisfaction in knowing
that a short crop in the Madras
country this season is'not the
fault of the district as the cqn
ditiona which produced it were
general throughout the wheat
districts of the state. The crop
in this district will not be as
large as that of last season, but
it will nvernge up well with
some of the older districts of
the state.
In Umatilla count', however,
harvesting begins much earlier
this year than in this section,
the harvest season there having
begun last Monday, when about
20 combined harvesters were
started.
BRYA8 THE NOMI
NEE FOR PRESIDENT
Gray of Delowarc, or Douglas of Shoe
Fame, Wilt Bo His Run
ning Mate
The big National Democratic
Convention began its sessions
at Denver last Tuesdu' at noon,
and every item of hews that
comes irom tne convention in
dicates that William Jennings
Bryan, "the PeerlesS," will be
nominated for the third time to
lead the Democrats to defeat.
Bryan's friends are in absolute
control of the convention, and'
the Bryan program will be cai-
ried out to the letter. The n 0,111
inee for Yice-President will
probably be Judge Gra"y of
Delaware, or W. L. Douglas of
Massachusetts, although a score
of others have booms at Denver
f )i the second place,
The Democratic convention is
the scene of great and genuine
enthusiasm for the Nebraskan,
Hid ngtfin as at two previous
national conventions the Demo
cratic platform, upon which the
national campaign will be
waged, will follow closely the
Bryan ideas upon all the great
questions. A strong bid tor the
labor vote will be made by the
insertion 01 a strong anti-in-junction
plank in the platform.
Since the memorable "cross
of gold and crown of thorns"
speech 12 years ago, Bryan has
been the leader of his party, al
though four years ago he was
in temporary eclipse wane
Judge Alton B. Parker was sac
rificed upon the Democratic
altar, and the defeats the party
has suffered durimr these 12
.1 it...
3'eara nave Deen jam at uie
door of party strife, engendered
by his leadership. His nomin
ation aud complete victory at
Denver after these 12 years of
uisaster, is one of the most re
markable spectacles ever pre
sented by a great national
party.
