' ' THE GIBBS CASE CITED, ,ReadJs; JtokmtMlUfcMW bistalct Attorney to I tba present incumbent, George , H. Chamberlain, there appears to be no real doubt that Governor-Elect Chamber- lain will t Inaugurated without resigning . his present office. The rule of law and the decisions of courts of appeal are clearly of a character to warrant Mm in proceeding as he has intended to do all long. ? . . ; The exact language of the Constitution ! of Orego upon the subject of the Chief Executive and his eligibility and lnduo- . tion into office is.: Artiale V., Section I. The chief execu . . ttre power of the Bute shall be vested la s Governor, who shall hold bis, office for the term of four years; and no per ' son shan be eligible to such office more than eight itt any period of twelve years: Bee 2L No person, except a ltlxen of the TJnlted States, shall be eligible to the bo eligible to that office who shall not ' Tave attained the 'age of thirty years, and - who shall not have been three years next preceding bis election a resident within this State. ' Sec. I. No member of Congress, or per 1 son holding any office under the tJnited States, or under this State, or under any other .power, shall fill the office of Gov ' am or, except as may be otherwise provld f ed In this Constitution. . It will bo noticed that Section 2 defines eligibility, and that Section I defines . the limitations that are around an incum bent after Inauguration. In denning eligibility, the Constitution says only that an Incumbent must be a citizen of the Unijtsd States and a resident of Oregon "for three yeara, that he must be at least i thirty years old, and places no further . limitations as to eligibility. T- Tbe rule of law concerning vacation - of an office by acceptance of another that ' has - been declared to be incompatible, Would Come Into effect and render it be ' yond doubt that Mr. Chamberlain's posi tion is good law. ' .A sample decision. Involving the pre cise legal point that has been raised by "'torn pBoKeerUoa rf-iiie'&3t rtfc this matter, is that of the Oregon Su preme Court, In the case of the State ex. ret .vs. Gibbs, In 1S73. Addison O. Gibbs was District Attorney of this judi cial District, and was appointed United : State Attorney by tbe President. The ' Supreme Court of Oregon decided that acceptance of the latter office constituted - vacation of the first, "ipso facto." : It to common rule of law wherever .there have been casesin'v6TvThg""a7mnaTf 'Issues. y. Governor-Elect Chamtterlaln will no oubt stand upon this view of the case. , ' A FRENCH LESSON. Ceprge Baer, President of the Reading . Hallway, in 'the recent consultation called by President Roosevelt to settle the coal - strike, says: Tbe duty of tbe hour is not to waste - time negotiating with the fomentert of 'this anarchy and insolent defiance of law, but to do as done in the War of ' the Rebellion, restore the majesty of the only guardian of a free people, and to re-establish peace and order at any cost. : ( And this is what Bar thinks. This is What the Reading Railway and the other railroad magnates thinkf ' It is more than strarige that one gener ation cannot learn by the mistakes of an- . other. , The student of history, and of the most Intensely Interesting history the 'v world baa ever known, that of France, might "well hesitate before giving the i common people, the "sans culottes," a : dare. The conditions In America are the same today' that they were in France in 179:. Instead Of the aristocracy of the French Court, we have the aristocracy of wealth. ' Instead of. the "divine right which doth hedge about a king," we have the divine right that doth hedge the aristocracy of money! The aristocracy of France lived ' ot of it. "but derived their wkh from frenea eoQ. By unjust methods 'they es- eaped taxation, end eppreesed the people In every way Until "the, worm turned. Wo know what the result was, and every good cittaen shudders at the possl blUtr of there helng renaissance of the days of Robespierre and Denton. Humanity driven to the wall Roes to the doctrine that might makes right, and the man or company that touches a match to the situation, already heated nearly to the point of combustion, wlllcause conflagration the Immensity of which no man can guess. Mr. Baer might be one of the first to regret that troops had been called out That Is not the way to settle this strike A spirit of fairness on the part of the barons would soon permit an agreement to be reached No one wants the coal operators robbed, no one wants the min era starved, and certainly no one desires the whole country to go shivering through a long winter. The miners accepted the President's good offices, and offered to abide by the decision of a Board of Arbi trators appointed by him. This the opera tors refused. They are responsible fo L all ..future, trouble and suffering. Baer claims God gave the coal fields to him and his class. France's kins; claimed God had given him France. The French people demanded relief from oppression; their King called out the Swiss guards. The American people demand fuel. The railroad kings propose to call out the troops, and keep the miners Quiet, in the stillness of death. - The King of France lost, first his king dom and then his head. It is not likely that bloodshed and civil war are to happen, but that the laws will be changed and the power for evil of combined capital be curtailed, there can be no reasonable doubt, and the present strike ts rapidly educating' the people along lines of which- some would prefer them to remain ignorant. .WHOM MEANS HE? The Oregonian says: It Is true that the men who are now trying to "work" Mayor Williams voted against him in June; but it is also true, that a lot of sentimental push about him is now proceeding from'dls reputable sources whence issued in that campaign every possible device of un blushing - -an r !WorupulOT-- partisan ship, In league with the slums of Port land, for the election of Inman and Chamberlain. Who are the men to whom the esteemed contemporary alludes? u At this time there are a number of citizens,, as $igh in character and reputation as any in the city, who are -upholding .Mayor Williams in his determination to "inaugurate regime consistent With his oath and the good name of tbe city. These men are known as distinguished Jn every essen tlal that distinguishes men in a credit able manner. They are personally clean and upright. They observe the law. They support every movement looking toward the preservation of good municipal morals and the advancement ot the city's ma terial interests. Regardless of divisions of party lines, tiers-siejj are. fiiBpoiwl.rittW to stak. .polit ical considerations in the desire to bring to pass better conditions here in Port land. The issues of last June have nothing to do with the case. However, let it be observed that Mr, Inman was not defeated, nor Judge Wil liams elected, because of preponderance of the vote on either side in the slums of Portland That We divided, as it nearly always did, and went to both sides. Too, the respectable people divld ed, according to personal opinion. Party lines went to the demhltion bow-wows. ' As to the Governorship, the same was true. Both the respectable element and the slum vote went divided to both sides. But, that is not the question. The ques tion Is as to whom the Oregohian means when It brands as disreputable all peo ple who are now standing beside the May or when he carries on a campaign against vice. For, there Is no other inference to be drawn from the editorial reprinted from the Oregonian In this article. Tbe estimable citizens thus Insulted will doubtless highly appreciate the Oregon lan's reference. " iT"T3"NGT A ZEAfyf9SUE."' The Evening Telegram nays: The tempest raised over the proposed regulation of vice has subsided. Some declare that there was much ado about nothing; others that the effort was love's labor lost on Merrill's part, and the gen eral verdict is that all's well that ends well. Already among city officers It is a forgotten issue, and they do not even care to discuss it. The Mayor says the talk may as well drop. " Thfs'TssWla- nor-deadv-'-It Is -not true that there is no more talk about It. There is Intense, feeling. There is demand for complete and thorough investigation by the proper officials into the allegations made by Councilman Merrill that there has been a total of $500,000 grafted dur ing the past twenty years In Portland, that he. JtROWS ,.who . has been receiving the money, and th offer by him to reveal the facts when it came to a "show down." Until it comes to a show down, there will be an issue, and a very live one. This issue will be kept alive by the peo-, pie of the city who wish to cleanse the Augean stables, if, indeed, the stables be of the Auirean kind. Mr. Merrill stated explicitly that they were, and are, and have been for twenty years. He said he knew who are the guilty. He pledged himself to make'tnown the facts. . UntiJ these allegations are either re vealed or proven to be not facts there will be an issue here in Portland. Are the decent people of the city ready to abate the present agitation prior to a clearing of the foul conditions alleged to exist by Mr. Merrill Others allege that Merrill was correct, and that he did notKAstate the truth. The difference between the railroad magnates and coal barons and the min ers, in consulting the President, was that the former told the President what lie ought to do, while the miners simply stated what the were willing to do. THE TABA$C0 COLUMN. The good cltlseas who were shocked by the disclosures concerning the furnish ing of embalmed beef to our ' soldiers, while Alger was Secretary of War, will be pleased to know that he Is getting at least a part of his punishment having been sentenced by Governor Bliss of Michigan to a seat in the United States Senate.

Incidentally remarked the other day: "I have long suspected that 'our elevator boy was a princeling In exile. The air ef haughty condescension with which he tolerates the presence of us common mortals In his cage leads me to believe him of rJ'i lineage. Then his utter Indifference as to the safety of the lives ana limbs of his passengers, and tbe lofty sarcasm that characterises his rebuke when some scared clerk or timid stenographer ven tures to beg bim to be caretui is enough to wither tbe luckless remonstrator Into Pleblan nothingness. It Is his custom to Ignore the presence of all gave himself and the fair maid of his chuioe who fre quently keeps hint company In his per pendicular Journeying. Being of a lit erary turn of mind he often turns hi" back to the lever' and loses himself in the pages of a French novel, and so awed and overcome are we with admiration fo his colossal nerve that we seldom utter a protest when he carries us past our re spectlve floors. When It comes to a ques tlon of genuine despotism, that boy is a prize-winner and no mistake." "Oh, as to elevator boys." said the business woman who had been an inter ested listener, "a funny thins happened yesterday in the building where I have my office. The elevator was own on the basement floor and for a "olid half hour an Irritated public rang the bell fruit lessly and indulged In needless pro fanity and then walked up and down the stairs. The exl from the shaft to the basement was closed by a stout door that could only be opened from the elevator. Finally the superintendent of the building arrived on the scene, and telephoned the engineer, who came up, and descending through a trap door, managed to reach the elevator, where he found the boy blissfully wrapped In dreams." There Is an able yomiK attorney In Portland who admits that he has not al ways been successful In a sr.it: "She was my first client in the Court of Tove, and I had long been vainly trying to summon courage to declare my affe tlon. It was early evening. She had been reading aloud an amusing story of a much abused benedict. "How would you lik to be a hen pecked husband?' she asked archly she closed the book. It was my oppor tunity and I grasped It as a drowning roan clutches a straw. My voice vlbrateo. with emotion. I threw my whole soul in to my reply. " 'I would like It above all things,' 1 said, 'it you will be the hen.' She haj never spoken to me since. Girls are queer, anyway." And he sighed. The Treasury te jrmpiv. Not a penny '"In' the till. -Oh! for some power to help us The city's purse to till: "Wo need a new policeman," The I. people say, "And Mr. Ladd denies us For lack of cash to pay." But Merrill now proposes To ope the city wide, By throwing down the grafters. To save our civic hide. And alas, our sturdy Mayor To the plan will not consent, And so the worry deepens, And the graf teffr'get-thr -rent "The surface of 'life Is a mask. The substance of life is a secret." Yet not all a secret. There are many who have learned that life, both surface and sun stance. Is a very simple thing after atl. It is our speculation concerning it that makes it seem obscure. Bill Bradley Is a well-seasoned lum berman from Maine, w0 has amassed a fortune In mills and timber-lands. His tastes Incline to rural pastimes. He at one t'me decided to amuse himself with a model piggery, and 'spared no expense In the construction of pens and yards arid Improved feeding, troughs. When ail was finished, he Invited a friend out to Inspect and admire the result. The friend f was noncommittal. jie looicea ana walked about Inspecting pens and poking grunting porkers, but he aaid nothing." "Well," asked Bill at last, "what d'ye think o' it? Ain't it all right?" The friend shook his head. "It does pretty well. Bill, but you've made cue serious mistake. Tou've got your sheds on top of the hill and your feed troughs at the bottom. Now every time your hogs are fed they have to walk all the way down that hill and climb back up." BUI waa alleotor a . minute. , then; "That ain't no great drawback," he de clared. "A hog's time ain't worth much, anyway." Another time It was chickens that claimed his leisure hours. He concluded that It would be an easy matter to in crease his Income by the production of eggs for Kastern marketa His count.-y place was cut up Into poultry yards and fairly blossomed with incubators. Ills partner In a certain railroad scheme dis approved of the chickens' and thought that wholeventure a waste of time and money. "Why. see here, Bradley, don't you know that some scientific chap over in Germany has patented a process for making artificial eggs at less than a cent apiece? I tell you the bottom Is knocked clean out of this poultry business." "Well, I dunno,'' drawled Bill, after mature deliberation, "I calculate it 'l De some time ylt 'fore a, hen's time is worth as much as a man's ' COMPOSITE MUCH-NEEDED LEGISLATION, The Legislature at Its next session will be asked to pass one measure wnicn should be adopted without a dissenting vote. Tt Is one to amend the present roaa laws, so that something can be done to Improve the condition of the public thor oughfares In the various parts of the state. Oregon at present has the poorest county roads of any state on the Pacific coast, and that fact Is one of the great est .drawbacks with which the common wealth has to ootitmnt irr-tbe atter-of Inducing Eastern farmers and stock rais ers to come Tiere and settle. One reason of this is th.j antiquated laws that are al lowed to remain upon the ststute books from year to year with apparently no ef fort to secure Improvement. If. Oregon la to prosper It is time her law makers were waking up. Li them spend less time In connublatfng to trade their votes for the United States senatorshlp and give more attention to the enactment of good laws and the whole atats will be bene fited. Astoria Budget. ABOUT THE FAIR. NOT A CENT TOO MUCH. The Journal la heartfiy fa, fsjvor of a liberal appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Fair. The directors nave decided to ask for KOO.OOO from the Oregon Leg lslftture. and we do not think that it Is a cent too much,' It will amount to les than two dollars on every thousand do lars of taxable property, and will never be missed by anyone. Fossil Journal. A LATJDABCB OBJECT. At the next session of the Legislature an appropriation of 1500.000 will be asked for the Lewis and Clark Exposition That this fair is a very laudable object and an event that will mark an apoch In the history of this Western country-and especially tte Pacific Northwest no one will gainsay. Oregon's resources need to be brought to the gaze or the world to make people recognize this state's eterl lng-worth and it cannot be don to bet ter advantage than by holding a suc cessful Exposition. The Legislature will doubtless make ,the needed appropriation as the entire state will be benefited oy the enterprise, even though Portland may be chief gainer, Condon Times. TENDENCY TO INCREASE TAXA TION. The managers of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition and Oriental Fair, to be held at Portland In 1905, have de cided to ask the Legislature of Oregon to appropriate $500,000 to assist In paying the expenses of the Fair. The amount already raised or expected to be raised by subscription, mostly in Portland, will about equal the sum the State, will be asked to pay. Unquestionably this great Exposition will greatly benefit Oregon and the other Pacific states by attracting the attention of the .people of the Atlantic States and foreign coun tries which will result In bringing peo ple and capital from abroad. But whether It will be wise under the pres ent circumstances and under the provis Jons of the State constitution to levy r tax to assist In paying its expenses Is another question, and the one which the Legislature will be called upon to con- elder. The tendency Is ,to Increase, rath er th.in reduce, taxation -all along the line, even without any appropriation for this exposition and materially with It Oregon State Journal. THE STATE CAN AFFORD IT. The fVylrtflgement of the Lewis and Clark Centennial has decided to assess the state of Oregon hulf a million dol lars, Portland having contributed a sim ilar amount. This is a tidy sum for ad vertising purposes, but the state can af ford It If the centennial Is so managed that ft Is thoroughly representative of every section of Oregon. Much will de pend upon the wisdom with which the money Is expended. Weston Leader. GOOD THING FOR NORTHWEST. The Lewis and Clark Exposition at Portland in 1905 is going to do one com mendable thing, among many other good tfilngs. It is going to make Port land a metropolis, Instead of an over grown" cross-roads YiTtage," with the jeai: ousles Incident thereto. This will be an excellent thing for the city of Portland, and -a good- iteJssg ffio 4he.bB,las .ti ttee . state, and for the whole 'Northwest. Salem Statesman. SHOULD CONSIDF.R CAREFULLY. The directory of the Lewis and Clark Exposition have decided to ask the Leg islature for 1300.000 as the state's contri bution for the big show. That Is a little over $1 'per capita from each Inhabitant of the state, and is perhaps rather a lib eral sum. The Legislature should con sider the matter carefully before mak ing such an appropriation. Forest Grove Times. WILL BENEFIT THE NORTHWEST. The directors of the Lewis and Clark Exposition will ask the Legislature for JOO, 000, ...This means an additional taxof 75 mills for a period of only two years. In taking this request into consideration, the Legislative Joint ways and means committee must not permit other mat ters to bias their rninds and control their; actions. Tbe Exposition will be of Incal culable benefit to the Northwest, and Oregon In particular, and that the Leg islature will assume no niggardly atti tude toward such a worthy undertaking Is the full expectation of all fair-minded people. Woodburn Independent. THINKS IT ISN'T WORTH IT. A proposition Is being advanced, prin cipally by residents of Portland, to raise large sum of money for the Lewis and Clark Exposition In 1905 by taxing the people of Oregon. Speaking of the mat ter, the Eugene Guard well says that the ways and means committee of that en terprise does not lack assurance. It ha? been figuring upon the best way to get money with which to run the fairand have concluded to ask the people of Ora- gem to-"pay Tor" TOraatta-g -tun-and profit. The Legislature will be asked to levy a one and three-quarter mill rax for each of the years 1908 and 1904. for the fair, aggregating about tfOO.OOO. That would cost our people $3.50 on every thousand of their- property. It Isn't worth it; besides It Is not a legitimate state expense. Southern Oregonian. OREGON WILL PAY HER SHARE. The ways and means committee of the Lewis and Clark Exposition wll ask the Legislature to appropriate $500,000 for tho 1905 Fair. Whatever the appropriation will be. It ought to be liberal, and we venture the assertion that Eastern Ore gon will pay her share without half as much kicking about It as Western Ore gon is making about the scalp bounty law. Heppner Gazette. CASE OF RED TAPE. In a certain law court the other day a queer story came to light. The trouble Was about a large bull which was acci dentally killed and taken to the -slaughter house for transformation into beef. The cart was stopped at the gate, however, by the manager, who quoted his printed orders that all unruly animals must be taken in the back way; the dead bull had ho ring through his nose, therefore It was an "unruly" animal, and must conform to the regulation! And through th! back door It had .to go, though the task of hauling it through was one that occupied several hours. Could red taPv go further? Pearson's Weekly, TONIGHT'S ATTRACTIONS.

In Judging the Wards and James pro duction of "The Tempest," under the management of Wagenbals A Kemper, arises the same question that has agitat ed lovers - of drama since Henry Irving revolutionized the manner of modern stage presentation. Irving is popularly called the greatest living actor. Yet, he depends largely upon accessories In de lighting and enthralling his listeners. He made stage settings and scenery prime requisites of the histrionic art, and per haps compelled a radical alteration In the methods practiced. This la not to say that Irving Is not a great actor. But, it Is to say that Irving, without the talent for devising accessories, would be much less an Irving than he Is. Warde and James appeared last night In ' The Tempest." Shakespeare's great drama, high tn literary merit, a master piece, claimed by many as his beat, yet fanciful and permitting visionary con- ptl.ms. Hrllllant colorings, elaborate mechanisms. Intricate devices, ail of the opportunities for building up accessory effect to supplement the work of the ac tors and the lines they read, are offered by "The Tempest." The irvin? ideiv. Is presented In con- CJete form by the Wagenhals & Kemper management. Tht. theory as to the best manner of, dramatic presentation whether by this plnn of elaborate accessories or by de pending solely upon the art of the actor win govern the formation of a verdict on the Warde and James appearance. That it is a great production no one will deii.v. That it is the acme of elaboration oi' stiige settings and Illusory effects must be conceded, Portland has witnessed few things that have been its equal, it reclizes an Ideal. Furthermore. "The Tempest,'' offering opportunity for Illusory seenlo effects, not only offers but really demands the ac cessories resorted to by Wagenhals & Kemper's presentation. The Duke of Milan possesses supernatural powers and therefore must have an almost super natural setting of mytrturttms ehlfttng scenes and disappearing vistas.

It was a "far cry" from the majesty of the Duke to the deformity oi the Caliban, Warde and James thus representing the antipodal elements. . ..... , Miss Edith Fassett, as Ariel, was a dream of grace and loveliness and Im materiality.
