One of the Important re , suits of the convention was the adoption ' vi resoiuuon providing ror the draft ing of a .bill appropriating, through the , state legislature, a, fund to be used by f supreme court in. prosecuting . charges preferred against Oregon law- yers .bjf ,th grievance committee pf the Bar association. , . . ;. ' On motion' of -former United States 5' Senator Charles W. Fulton, the chair i appointed a commitee of five lawyers 1 to consider, the bill now pending in con ew w ivj, lunenu ana coaiiy ins '; . relating to) the ; federal Judiciary i, congress as the ' committee shall 4eem proper. . Tbe proposed measure is the ' subject of extremely diverse views on t4 the jari of the bench and bar of the , ' country One of. itsi chief alms is to 1 dlvo roe the appgllate court from the court o first instance. This contem ', plated procedure Is meeting, so It is : said, with strong opposition on the part ' Of federal Judges on western circuits. I ,'fw;vfrtin elscted.' " A motion waa made y Secretary J. ' : E. Bronaugh to designate Salem as the -place of the next annual meeting of the I 'association. The motion, was objected ; to on the ground that the attendanoe '. .would; be materially cut down if 'any : .smaller city than Portland were selected as a meeting pfrce.at least until the organization Increases in .size. ' - ' ' Portland was -selected as the location v of the next annual convention, and, ber i fore the association adjourned, it voted to hold a special metelng at 10 "O'clock on the morning of December 28 next At ; this meeting a report from the special commute appointed to confer with-the grievance committee will - be " received . 1 and acted upon.-.

Judge "Hunek chose as tils subject .'Criticism of the Courts." i Ha dwelt especially upon the unjust , f criticisms." He declared that the courts, jliowever; are blamable for many of the ! law's delays, for which they are fre i quently Bcored. ! "Altogether too much time Is snent In j the impaneling of Juries, the examina-i -j lion or witnesses, etc.," said the speaker, . '"but unfortunately, the : tendency, of ; fault finders In these days is to go to extremes. They not only criticise where . i criticism la deserved. - but they heap I abuse upon the courts and unJuaTcom- plaints. . -r ,.,t,,v, : .v, . ; "These abuses, for the sake of better government,' Indeed, ; for the perpetua- . jtlon of government, must be corrected t and members of the bar can do a great -Ideal to disseminate the truth about our toourts.

The great Ii:xl:i v! tT f. ..!!- t!if!n-Hs; f..r the only -,nclu-!itn to bo drawn by Out tulcis is, that' the suloctlni srroyp In tended that tlie one man so clKiaen shall bo confirmed by all others, and to tne exclusion of any other candidate; and It Is then the hand of the so-selecting group against all who will not abide bv their choice, ano the liand of all others against this selecting group. "This Is the method of the . old-time nominating convention. It should not. i even In appearance, bo the method of an advisory assembly, sucn as we desired to hold." I can more quickly make my point clear by the statement of my second ; main question, whiehisi Are we presumptlous in undertaking to guide the pilblic In the selection of the Judiciary? Do wof in such attempr, usurp the rights of the voters at large? My answer is No, when we Vmflne our selves i to" advice. , Seal Tair vritH PubUc ."This we do when "we merely use our Indorsement for recommending such" as pirants as In character, ability and dis position we believe fully qualified, - But hero we must stop? We go beyond ou rights, when we make a one-man selec tion'.! I . believe we should not become Interested in the candidacy of any single individual, to the exclusion of equally gg men, except in "one Instance. ' -This exception is. we may make 'a single iiomtnatlon in favor of a Judge then on the bench, who, , by hla past services.' we know to be fitted for the position which he then -holds, and in whose behalf we ask the general public that, he be continued in that place. . "But if we wish to indorse a man already on the bench, because of his faithful services, let us say so: plainly to. the people, and- not hurt the eandidiitn and arouse the suspicion of the people j by seefuThgl'y "disguising our real mo tive ty some cieverjbut Ineffective de signation., r The truVl needs no disguise and is. its own best interpreter.

" LlfE INSURANCE i COMPANIES They Are; Closely Observing Public Health Conditions An examining physician for one of the prominent JJfe Insurance Companies, In an Interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that the reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected i because kidney trouble Is so common to the, American people, and the large majority of applicants do not even suspect that they have the disease. He states that Judging from his own experience and reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has probably, been' more successful in relieving and curing these diseases than any remedy known. - Thenlld and heal ing Influence,', of Dr. .Kilmer's Swamp Hoot Is soon realised.
