Sir Walter Raleigh. a JUDGE BENSON'S INTERVIEW JUDGE H. L. Benson of Klamath. has been Interviewed. Ac I cording to that Interview, the y Judge Is madly In favor of go ing back to the convention system. He says he would not even call it en "assembly," but would designate It by Its true name, which is "con vention." "I am openly and shame lessly opposed to, the entire primary , system," he says. "In our part of the country we are disgusted with the present system and are general ly In favor of returning to a sane system which is conventions, he adds. And finally, to clinch the whole thing, he says that the present system has been "suicidal so far as the success of Republican' candidates is concerned. The Judge's remarks are timely. They reveal the true purpose of the "assembly" movement; "I am open ly and shamelessly opposed to the entire .''primary system," as voiced by the Judge, is the true purpose of. everyVman who favors the "assem bly"' movement. The desire is to abolish the open primary, and re store the convention method. That Is the inevitable alternative because the Wo cannot exist together. If one survives,; the other must perish. If one Is employed the other must go Into disuse." Each is"a By'sTCm by itself, A convention jmeaia nomi nations by a few delegates, usually framed up by state bosses and coun ty bosses for certain candidates" decided-'upon before the convention ever" meets. . ' .The open primary is nominations "in an open, un juggled field fcy all the .party, voters. The methods are as wide apart , as the antipodes, and as. antagonistic as ice and f ire where one exists the other cannot.. SoJudge Benson's remarks fairly voice' the true issue Un Ore - got .- Some-are f f of the convention , anc". some fdr the open' primary. Those for the convention or so called" "assembly ' .axe agUnat", the primary law, ana those in. favor of the open primary are against the "assembly." There t is no middle ground. Those who, favor the "as sembly " and profess friendship for the openu primary law are simply . trying to work a , bunco game. .. In . another respect, Judge Ben . son's remarks are timely. In effect, f he says the open primary has caused Republican defeats in Oregon. Did It defeat Judge Benson's brother for secretary of state? Did it prevent Judge Benson's brother from becom Ing the present governor of Oregon? Are there not more Republicans in the county offices in Oregon than there ever wefe before? Is not the legislature overwhelmingly Republi can? Did not the lower house of the legislature two years ago, con tain but a single Democrat, the smallest Democratic representation ever 1n. that body, and was it not under tiie' primary system? Was not Chamberlain's original election . to the .governorship under the con vention system, and would he not have been electod tho second time Just thevsame under the convention system? "Was he not elected 'district attorney of Multnomah county und"r the convention system? Tom Word, a Democrat, elected Fhc-r-iff of Multnomah county, and John Manning, another Democrat, district attorney under the convention sys tem; and were not both defeated by Republicans under the primary sys tem? Did not Taft carry Oregon by 25,000 nnder. the primary sjptem? Did not Ellis and Hawley carry On oa for their congressional positions HE GET together meeting pro posed by the Portland chamber of !upviTe Is most timely Prominent citizen are to meet with the Oregon delegation October 13 to formulate plans for a virile movement In behalf of congressional aid for Oregou ports"and rlvera. The timeliness of the gathering Is evi denced by the fact thnt It is but twd mouths until congress, meets, and that the rivers and harbors bill at the session will be the last for two or .three years thereafter. It Is also borne .out 1y the fact that In several Portland Interviews recently, Gon eral Marshall declared that Oregon is not receiving her proper share of congressional aid for her waterway projects and that delays, waste and exaggerated cost result. It has become a recognized world rule that concert of action yields best results. Division and distraction ac complish but little. Inaction achieves still less. Realizing this, all cities and states served by waterways are moving in concert. Each has organ izations and In those organizations are aggressive citizens. Action is intelligently directed and the whole citizen body moves with military pre cision. Philadelphia has her Deep Waterway association. Chicago and Illinois liave their organization for deepening the Mississippi, and so has every state the great river touches. Minnesota and .tne Twin Cities of that etate have their waterway asso ciation for deepening the channel of the .Mississippi to" those points.

Meantime, since conventions were abolished by law and open primaries established by law, and since the legislature refused to make even pre liminary conventions lawful, will Judge Benson-tell us ' how the con vention is to be restored except by legislative act or vote of the people? Having, been a Judge, and an exemplar of the dignity and sanclty of the courts, does Judge Benson ad vise restoration of conventions in de fiance of the law, the legislature, and. the people the people who over whelmingly voted them out of our system ? IhE GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL for reform and lead him to take Im mediately to the field. It is evidence to each that the agitation for a clean up of the dairies Is not based on a theory, but a- proven condition, and that the influence and energy of every citizen should be behind the health, authorities in their efforts at reform. . As a result , of the information Dr Matson has supplied, there is but one alternative, and that is to pursue the campaign with renewed vigor. Let the determination be universal that the milk must be sanitary, and In a little time those who supply it will provide the methods and measures necessary to give Portland the cleansed milk she is paying for. When that Tesult Is achieved Port land will have one more among the many advantages that commend her as a wholesome and attractive rest dence city. ; 9., (TANGLEFOQTj THE 4m CURE 0 NE J. H. Brown of Olympla, in articles published in Port land attacking "the forest re serve policy of the government. and Its alleged "robbery" of the states by cheating them out of por tions of their school lands, makes some misstatements. He says that great injustice is done, the state of Washington, for instance, by tying up the timber on school sections in forest reserves. But such is-not the case. Tne inference irom ms arti cle is also that the government, or the "forest bureau," is selling tim ber off forest school lands as well as other timbered lands, retaining 75 per cent of the proceeds; and also that the state has to sell its school lands at a sacrifice. These statements or intimations are incorrect. Sections 16 and 3 are school lands, but if they happen to be mineral or stone lands th state can select other lands in lieu of them. .If a school section is in eluded In a forest reserve, title re mains in the state and the govern ment cannot touch it, never cuts or sells any timber off It.. The state can sell or lease the land or do with it whatever the state law permits But the state may at its option sur render any section in .a forest reserve and select other land in lieu thereof This has enabled Oregon and Wash ington to sell off worthless school eections in forest reserves by using them as base for scrip, which sells in Oregon for $8.75 per acre. If the forest reserve sections are tim bered, the state can hold them for a rise In value, or can sell them, or can cut and sell the timber and sell the land separately. It is absolute owner, and the government does not And was not - and cannot Interfere at all. . All of which facts one would not sup-pow- to be facts from reading Mr. Rrown's article. P ROFESSOR W. R. PHILIP, In an address at a recent meeting of the British Anti-Tuberculosis association, adds his opinion to that of other eminent or prominent scientists and physicians ,in favor of the proposition that tuberculosis can be practically eliminated from the. list of human diseases. If this seems incredible, impossible, one may strengthen hope and faith by remem bering what has been accomplished in the eradication or minimization' of other scourges of mankind. A few centuries ago Europe frequently trembled at the advent of the "black death," that periodically decimated Its1 people. It is unheard of now. Yellow fever and cholera, that have destroyed tens of millions, have prac tically disappeared. Smallpox with in half a century was a menacing terror throughout the world; now it never becomes epidemic, and is not considered dangerous. So in a greater or less degree with scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria and other ailments. Tuberculosis, it may be said, Is o an entirely different type of disease from any of these. True, yet a great many of the most dependable men unite in saying that taken in' its earlier stages it can be cured, and that by the simplest possible means Professor Philip believes that abund ance of fresh air is the prime pre: ventlve and curative agent. The great desideratum Is more pure air for young lungs In the large cities. Air, he says, creates appetite. , Ap petite and its reasonable satlsfao tlon with good food, creates or re stores health. A person In a con dition of health easily resists disease Professor Philip went so far as to say that universal good ventilation would exterminate tuberculosis in forty years. This is going to be a very big city within these forty years. , These things are worth thinking abont now BY MU.IS OVEB.MOLT. SCiME MORE OF IT. (Poetic License No. 41144.)

A large proportion of Americans must sell their labor in order to pro cure the necessaries of life for them selves and such non-earning people ae may be dependent upon them. Some cannot always find work that they are competent to do, and except In the case of highly skilled labor ers they are paid not much above the fairly necessary cost of living for a family. A young man without a I trade may perhaps with fair luck earn an average of f 2 a day through out the year, $12 a week. He must pay abont f5 a week for room and board and something for clothe and some little Sunday and other ex pense.

Fifty years ago in a rude garret, near the loneliest suburbs of the city of Lon' don, lay a dying man. He was but half dressed, though his legs were concealed in long, military boots. An aged minis ter stood beside the rough couch. The form was -that of a strong man grown old through care more than age. There was a face' that you might look upon but once, and yet wear it In your mem ory forever. But look! those strong arms are clutching at the vacant airs the death sweat stands In drops on that bold brow the man is dying. Throb- throb fhrob beats the death watch In the shattered wall. "Would you die In the faith of the Christian?" faltered the preacher, as he knelt there on the damp floor. The white lips of the death, stricken man trembled, but made no sound Then, with the strong agony 6f death upon him, he rose Into a sitting posture. For tho ' first time he spoke. "Christ Ian!" he echoed, in that deep tone which thrilled the preacher to the heart; "Will that faith give me back my hon or?" Suddenly the dying man- arose: he tottered along the floor. With those white fingers, whose nails were blue with the death cWH, he threw open a valise. He drew from thence a faded coat of blue, faced with silver, and the wreck of a battle flag. . Look ye, priest! this fadeToat is spotted with my blood;" he cried, as old memories seemed stirring In his heart. '"This coat I wore when I first heard the news of Lexington; this eoat I wore when I planted the banner of the stars on Tlconderoga; that bullethole their living by doing work which we consider In man's sphere exclusively. The market women,' ivho sell vegeta bles, fruit and flowers, hold their own with their men rivals in trade.

The awe-stricken preacher started back from the look of tho dying roan, while throb throb throb-cheats the death watch in the-shattered walI. --"Hush !- at- lence along the lines there!" he mut tered.
