The recall does not contemplate that a Judge ahall be recalled for , his. mere view on a legal question. i There are two sides to every ease In court, or there would be no case. It la Impossible tor a Judge to be on both sides, and yet, If he Is to be re- called for his view on a legal nues- and other societies, have been formed and are at work. In 190S there were 197 native societies, giv ing benefits, aids -In sickness, and mutual loans. Their capital totaled nearly f3.6O0.AO0, showing an in crease of $300,000 over the previous year. In 1908 a central bureau or Insurance against damage by hall, with seven smaller local bureaus, two Insurance societies for harvests, a mutual Insurance society against fire, and 34 district agricultural banks, had been set In action. These banks had received from the state loans amounting to $676,994, Inter est varying between 8 Vi and 6 per cent.

The desire of one elty for It Is- voiced by the- Eu gene Register on this page. It complains because Portlanders In a desire for a special local commis sion of their own, referended the Malarkey bill, depriving up-state cit ies of Its' benefits. Unless the referendum petitions are defective, there will be no regu- lation of public service corporations for two years.

For the millions that have" been spent and to be spent la building railroads into the undeveloped por tions of the state, there must be a tonnage. . It Is the tonnage that payB Interest on the bonds and div idends on the stock, and nobody Is more concerned In the development of the territory than are the men who have made the Investment in the lines. Thus, the Interests of the settler and the railroad people run parallel. Both want a, traffic created, the set tler for the profit he will get out of the production, and the railroad man for the dividends he will earn from the transportation. In this mutual endeavor for creating a traffic, there can be no more powerful aid to the settler than the companies. Every new set tler they bring to the field Is a new producing nnlt.

The spinning machin ery of the universe la revealed only In photographs, and, as far as our senses afe concerned, it performs Its functions with a alienee which to the Imagination becomes -a, part of the horror of space. These cosmic wheels spin with In calculable velocity, but the span of hu man life Is but a second of time In com parison with their periods. If we could magnify time so that second would become aa a century, then an heur would be equivalent to 860,000 years, and the true aspect of the spiral nebulae would burst upon our astonished sensea. The most familiar of the various Eu ronean orders of chivalry IS uiat 01 the Garter, lnsUtuted by, King Edward III of England, in a great measure tha familiarity of this order la due to the pretty little story that la attributed as the reason for Ha founding and Its nlctureaaue motto. "Uont soit qui mat y penee" (Evil to him who evil thinks). Whether we consider its antiquity or the rank and herolo exploits of tbe personages who, in successive ages, have been enrolled la tbe Order of the Garter, we feel no hesitation In pro nouncing It as surpassing air the In stltutlona of honor in the world.
