LAW OFFICERS AND THE LAW.
When a man becomes, bv election.
or by appointment, an officer of the
law, he becomes not only an agent of
the law but its chamuion. Its verv
letter, and last demand, falls upon
him as a garment, no fold of which
he may displace nor discard without
danger to his official record and to
the constituency, or power, which k
alted him. With him rests the ful
filment of the law: its exceotion
its specific departures, its abatements
and other overtures of excuse, or pal
liation, rest with the courts of the
land, and not in the whim or Judg
ment of the departmental officer.
Any assumption, or transgression of
these accepted theories of govern
ment, must work to the flat discredit
and disadvantage of the officer tak
ing it on himself to indulge them.
The law wont stand for it; the peo
ple wont stand for it; and the officer
who persists in it will come to his
reckoning sooner or later. The tra
ditions of the law are adamantine and
may not be assailed without reaction
upon the assailant. That is what is
meant by the term and text of "the
Lit."

late by the whiskey and beer forces, water on the Columbia bar in excess
in the way of attempting to placate
and hedge against, the "wave" that is
known to be gathering for final sub
mergence of their cause, or at least,
for its sharp regulation. But this
new bill to make "fish of one, and
flesh of another" is the silliest ele
ment of their program we have yet
noted. It is in order for some bright
"statesman" .to follow it up with a
bill exempting wine from the range
of prohibition, and leave the distill-j
ers of the potent intoxicants, whiskey
and brandy to bar the weight of the j
battle that must come.
It looks to most men like a "run
for cover" on the part of the beermen
and does not comfiiend them as very
reliable champions of their cult. If

Take this for the basic proposition
and one has no difficulty in under
standing why the jetties have been a
score of years in building, and why
she has expended her few millions to
keep the river at bar depths all that
time.
The scheme is a deliberate outrage
upon the inland farmer and wheat
grower as well as upon the ports of I
the lower Columbia; and the effort
to adjust it, late as it is. is as rational
What do we care where the shins
go to after they get inside the mouth
of the river? The supreme thing is to
get them to the Columbia river, over
a bar that will admit any tonnage
that floats. After that the most com
manding market in the basin may
have them. In fact, we might create
a market for them right here at deep
water.
