Levelling of Albany for circuit judge is that there is an "unwritten rule" by which one judge should be chosen from each of the counties of the district. An examination of this, argument would disclose it to be extremely shallow. We are not electing ward council men, but a judge. And a judge is presumed to dispense jus tice without regard to geography, race or creed. Is a circuit judge supposed to "represent" his county of residence while serving on the bench? Surely not. Is the office of circuit judge a piece of pork to be passed about so all may get a slice? Assuredly not. i The position of circuit judge of any judicial district is one which should command the services of the. ablest, fair est, most competent of the men who are eligible, and not passed about or divided up or parceled out. to suit the whims of ambitious barristers. , , We hate to think for example that the reason Percy Kelly was -continued term after term as circuit judge was because he chanced to reside in Albany. Rather we prefer to believe that his retention was due to the fine service he rendered in the administration of justice. : If we examine this so-called "unwritten rule'' we will find first it has no legal standing; second it probably had no genuine origin; and third it has no present validity. Cer tainly no group of lawyers or citizens could bind the voters in their rights of suffrage. And persons who confess to have such a private understanding. Years ago there were times when both judges of this ju dicial district were Salem men : Judges Burnett and R. P. Boise at one tipe and Judge Burnett and Judge Galloway later. V To show how absurd this division would be, we might j refer to the fact that at the last general election Marion county cast 13,913 votes for justice of the supreme court and linn county 6,486 votes. Thus according to the "unwrit ten rule" half the voters of this county would have no "rep resentation" on the circuit bench; or to put it differently one third of the voters, who reside in Linn county, would have half the seats on the circuit bench, which is unfair mathematics, if we are to put it on that basis. : Now if the selection of circuit judge were on the basis of volume of work, this county supplies probably three fourths of the litigation of the district. Again, judges must be chosen from members of the bar, and Marion county has two or three times as many practicing attorneys as Linn - county. Is it contended that to preserve-the "unwritten rule" the district should choose anyone offered from either county regardless of his qualifications? . . 7. The third judicial district has not rated high for a con siderable period. This district has probably the most import ant litigation of any part of the state outside of Portland. Surely the district as a district should choose the man best qualified to serve as circuit judge. We do not mean to dis parage Mr. Lewelling whom we hold in high personal esteem. He has hardly been on the bench long enough to manifest his capacity and competency. But we do frankly believe that C M. Inman possesses unusually fine qualities for judge; and that he should be chosen for the office. Ha i Wmprf in tha law both by virtue of long years of practice and of teaching in the Willamette law school. He is well poised, with the gnity and judicial bearing which grace the office. He has Jcept out of factional squabbles and strife. The district should avail itself of the privilege of securing a man of Inman's intellectual attainments and maturity of judgment for the .mgniy responsioie office of judge of this judicial circuit, r f .Can't Smoke Him Out VOU would think if you were electing a manager of a l business who would be presented when taking hi3 job with a bill for two and a third billion dollars not yet due, f tnd with no money in the treasury to matt it, you ought to .know just what the manager would do in a case like that.

' . w 'is BITS for BREAKFAST By R. J. HENDRICKS- The Chinook wlndi S S (Continuing from yesterday:) "This letter was printed in the Is sue of December 20, 18(1, and It happened that Just then began one of the most severe and destructive periods of winter weather the Walla Walla valley has ever ex perienced. The loss of cattle, which was then the principal wealth of the valley, was terrible. This condition of affairs brought to the editors of the Statesman another letter from a subscriber living on Dry creek, not tar from the city, who took Issue with Mr. Roberts. After reporting about three-fourths of his cattle already dead he ssld: Besides. the Idea of the Chinook wind being warm ed by passing over the sands be tween here and The Dalles the said sands being at the same time covered with snow is worse than . . . Now let me give 7 you my theory. Everybody knows that un til this winter, except the winter of 1856, that while It was wet In the Wallamet It was dry here; consequently the dry rarlfled air rising formed a vacuum, and the damp atmosphere from the Wal lamet rushed over here to till the vadium, and Its dampness melted off whatever snow It found here. Now I've been on the frontiers 40 years, and lived with Indians, and they always say 'white man brings climate with him Now that this climate changed temporarily In 1858 by the WUlameters coming up here to fight the Indians; com ing from their moist climate and stopping here they produced a temporary equilibrium; conse quently that hard winter; now they are so thick here a perman ent equilibrium is produced.

S S The date of publication of this letter was February t. 1811. Its writer used an assumed name and style and may not have been as old as he pretended to be. At this late day we cannot establish his identity, but he advanced the theory of atmospheric - vacuum long before any trained meteor ologist in Walla Walla or Port land explained whence and how the Chinook wind blows. m "The leading editorial in the Washington Statesman of Decem ber 20, 1882, reads as follows: 'The Chinook wind, the cause of which our readers will remem ber wss explained last winter by a scientific correspondent and which tailed to visit us from December till March by reason of the sand in the great basin of the Columbia becoming so deeply covered with snow that it couldn't attract. seems determined that a like in- terferenee with Its annual 'airs' shall not occur again.

Today the ground is covered with snow; to- nignt'lt comes and blows it off. leaving the ground covered with mud and water, and tomorrow It comes again and dries that up.' "This brings us to the conclu sions of this whole matter, to date. The term Chinook waa used by the Oregon pioneers in the Willamette during the years prior to 1870; perhsps the Invention or some xertue mind but more likely picked up from the Indians or from some fur trader at Fort Vancouver.

The Bits man can add a few words, out of his boyhood recol lections of a few years up to and including the winter of 1871-2, in the Weston district, about 20 miles south of Walla Walla and the same distance east of Pen dleton; near the western foothills of the Blue mountains. W m . He hss no clear memory of the Chinook wind being preceded by a distinctly bluish base on the foothills, "from which the Blue mountains probably took the name, as described by Mr. El liott. Perhaps his memory does not serve him well in that respect. or it may be that the phenomenon mentioned by Mr. Elliott was not observable from his point of view. w But he does distinctly recall the fact that observers could see the Chinook wind, or at least they thought they saw It and that they described it as appearing on the hills of that part of Umatilla county like n band of sheep run ning and Jumping. The writer wonders If the neo- ple now living in that section still see the strange, warm wind as if they were looking at a Jumping and running, band of sheep? . In the years mentioned there were practically no fences la that aistrict, . ana ut nouses were widely separated. - Perhaps - the denser settlement, the more nu merous houses and fences and the greater number el cultivated fields, have driven away the im aginary bands of Jumping sheep. appearing with the coming of the strange and generally welcome wind, in the years that have In tervened. . , : The writer proposes to put this inquiry to sir.
