JQj to the Editor, of Tha Journal -In. a previous 'communi cation to -your paper, ,; I , took . the post-, tlon that - the decision of the "supreme court of North, Dakota upon the features of the primary law ot, that state deal ing with the election of United States senators had no application to .tha Ore gon law on the subject.' It has been ar gued by others that such a conclusion cannot be logically arrived at, it being said; "It Is argued that the North Da kota decision does not apply to Oregon because here the candidate has an op tion to take or not take the pledge, but the objection does not: touch the ques tion Involved. The precise question Is what is the legal effect after It U taken? Is the, pledge legally binding or not?! if the pledge exacted by the legislature is void whyUs not a pledge voluntarily- taken- by the candidate void? Both, If valid, . produce - precisely., the tame results, both equally deprive the member of the legislature of his right to exercise his Judgment In election of senator." Therefore,.! feel that I must have another -word upon the subject. If the precise question be "what Is the legal effect after it (the pledge) is taken, then according to the obiter dicta of the North Dakota decision that legal effect would be a moral obligation on the part or the legislator to carry out his pledge. Now .the supreme court of North Dakota under a-statement of the facts of. that case stated that- certain legislators had taken a pledgejjnder a law that was unconstitutional, but It did no decide that ' such candidates In sou, doing .violated a constitutional duty or that such pledge was fvoid and il legal, nor did the court decide or say by way of obiter dicta that any action, suit or judicial proceeding could be in stituted in which- Judgment 'Or decree couia pe given pronouncing sucn legis lators to nave violated constitutional duty and enjoining the performance of the pledge or obliterating the tcf feet of me pieage n perrormea ior mat rea son. Ail the court said washe judicial Dower of a court has nothing to do with a moral obligation. - . i - as iar as tne norm .uaxota decision ts - concerned the precise point . is not "what is the legal effect of the pledge after It is taken." but what is the ao- plication of the opinion of the .North Dakota court as a rule of Judicial de cision? . Can a judicial question arise in a court in Oregon out of the pledge taken under statement No. 1 in which the North Dakota decision can be cited as an authority? If so why' not raJat such a question rather than ask men to break their pledges? ;V In the North Dakota rase the courts exercised Jurisdiction and proceeded to decree (in other ords used their Ju dicial power) only because the facts (statutory qualification for office) were of legal cognizance as distinguished from political responsibilities (moral obligations.) Under the Oreron law the Judicial power of a court cannot be invoked be cause the questions are purely politi cal, hence the North Dakota decision is lacking In analogy to the Oregon case. Before a judicial decision. can be of legal value there -must be a state of facts of Judicial .cognisance to which such decision may be applied. i nererore an uregon court cannot punUh.a Statement No. l'man for per forming his pledge, or enjoin hkn from performing his pledge, nor can such a court by mandatory injunction compel a Statement No. t man to i perform. his pledge: the entire matter' la without the judicial power of courts. .Whatever the Btateemnt No. 1 men do as far as the courts are concerned they violate ?o constitutional duty or oath 0f . of Ice.. - ' . '. - -. - ,: So that In conclusion, in answer - to the question, "If the pledge exacted by the legislature is void why, is not a Sledge voluntarily taken by the candl ate void?" It can be said that the voluntary pledge- is not , void because it cannot be judicially pronounced . void or, unconstitutional. . FREDERICK W.. MULKET. ADVOCATES STATE .. .

Horseless carriages, wireless telegra phy, and now lardless cookery! Lard has, from time immemorial, held sway in the kitchen, but it has one fatal ob jectionit is indigestible. Nine-tenths of the indigestion with which tne Amer ican nation is afflicted is due to the use of pork and its by-product lard. Recognizing this, Thk N. K Fair bank Company, Chicago, have placed on the market a vegetable oil cooking tat, Cottolene. which can be used in every way that lard or butter can, and which makes delicious, digestible and nourish ing food. It i recommended by physi cians, even to invalids, and it is cheaper than lard,' one-third less being- required. BLOIIDES LEAD : - 0H1 ACTS ' J. F.

Harry Tate's "original English company in 'Motoring,' a time ly satire on automobiling, etc, is Setting to be a terrible chestnut with je Orpheum. I have watched the frrowth of Harry Tate's original Ehig Ish company from childhood onwards. When they first began showing the or iginal English company were mere babes. The little boy who says "res, pa-pah,"- had a very squeaky voice and no doubt was studying out of the third reader. But since "Motoring" was first presented ' bs has passed through the seven asres of man and now no doubt has little children, of his own. Talk about managers and the crool publlo being ' ungrateful and casting the art iste aside in a few years! It is a charge that can never be hurled at Martin Beck.,- The Majestic trio gave one of those novel vaudeville acts, so seldom seen these days, wherein two colored men and a mulatto woman dance, sing, come out as Indians and then run off again BAKER STOCK COMPANY SCORES A TRIUMPH IN "STRONGHEART" By T.

Gehan and Spencer gave a "wooden shoe advertise ment,!' so the program states, and Hal len and Hayes were what do you think? Why eocentrio dancing comedians. We were glad of one thing though. There wasn't any one-act play. For once the one-act drarrfatist restrained himself. It sent us out into the night almost happy.
