A BALANCED COURT.
The sentiment for a mixed supreme
court, politically, is one of the most
marked tendencies of public senti
ment In Oregon today.
All fair-minded men agree thaj the
supreme court should be strictly non
partisan. All agree that the best in
terests of the state and the best in
terests of litigants who must come
before the court will be served by a
mixed court.
Judges and Justices are but hu
man, and all men who follow a cer
tain line of thinking for a lifetime,
kecome more or less fixed and preju
diced In their views. In order to se-
cure unbiased, absolutely fair' view
on all subjects which come befpre the
court, a diversity of thinking, a di- Pendleton, Umatilla county, the

By going ahead with the macadam
on East Court street the city would
naturally become Involved to tho ex
tent of several thousand dollars be
fore the tax could be collected from
property owners, and thus the debt
created by this macadamizing would
prevent paving, because it would not
leave the $10,000 limit open to per
mit of the paving. '
The city council should pave Main
and Court streets before doing any
ether street work. While It may be
that the movement to macadamize
at Court Is made in the best of
faith, yet it is possible by fhla move
ment to prevent paving and so pav

RESERVATION RENTS.
Rent for wheat land on the-Uma-
! tilla reservation should always be
gauged by the price of wheat In the
current year and not. on past prices.
The price of rent this spring should
be fixed according to the spring's
wheat prices, and not by prices which
prevailed In the high tide of two years
ago.
The agent Jn fixing rents must bear
1 this In mind. The best results will
come to the Indian as the farmer pros-
pers and enjoys his lease of reserva-
tlon lands. Tf the nrlni- nf ront I nr.

wheat is forced down by the depressed
market, the farmer cannot afford to
take 'the risk.
Wheat is now but slightly over 60
cents per bushel In Pendleton and yet
the same rent Is being charged which
prevailed when wheat was 75 cents
per bushel two years ago. This is un
fair to the farmer and to the Indian,
for the welfare of the Indian dc
pends upon the success of the farmer.
The agent Is Interested In securing
the highest possible price for the res'
ervatlon wheat lands, it Is true, but
the world wheat markpt must be the
only fair and Just gauge for rent
prices. If the white farmer finds his
wheat market shattered and depress
ed the red land owner must share the
depreciation of wheat values. If the
white farmer prospers under good
market conditions.ythe red land owner
is entitled to a share of that prosper
ity, but the market each year must be
the standard of reservation rents.
Farmers cannot afford to pay rent

cent wheat, when wheat drops to 60
cents, . with little prospect of It ex-

It Is complimentary to him that de

vote for him at the June election.

making Portland decent He has un
falteringly performed his duties, re
gardless of "who's who" In Portland.
He has raided and run out the big
gambling concerns until life Is par

land. And In all his official career
he has not been charged with graft

He has simply performed his duty.
The people admire him for It and will
re-elect him without doubt. He de

IP I KNEW THE WAY.
If I knew the way that of old I knew,
Ever and ever so long ago, .
When the grass was green and th
akles were blue.
And I dreamed that the heart of the
world was true,
I would backward turn through the
mists hetgho!
I would backward turn, though my
head turns gray.
To the brighter world of a brighter
day,
And ever my wayworn feet should
stray
In the land of the Long Ago.
If I knew the way, I would call to me,
From the mists of the Long Ago,
The boys who came with their shouts
of glee.
When the nod of the master had set
them free
If I knew the way helgho!
And again we would play in the bab
bling brooks.
And fish for minnows with pins for
hooks.
For they heed no wait how the fu
ture looks
Who shall dwell in the Long Ago.
If I kpew the way, we would search
again,
We boys of the Long Ago,
For mandrakes hidden In some deep
fen ,,,
That only the elves and the urchins
ken
If I knew the way helgho!
And we'd drop the burden of worry
and care.
And the garment of trouble no more
we'd wear,
For "A merry heart" was the pass
word there,
In the Land of Long Ago.

RUSH INTO TAXANA.
The rush to the Tanana over the
Valdex trail this year Is said to ecllps
anything of the kind since the first
stampede Into Dawson, says the Se
ward Gateway. The trajl ,Js dotted
with, men, horses, dogs and sleds and
It Is getting so badly cat up that it Is
almost Impassable In places. Th
Valdex News devotes a long article to
the latter feature, complaining that
the damage Is done by "single trip
outfits" who do not care what they
do to the trail so long as they get
over it themselves.
A similar report Is brought to Sew
ard by Jim Bartlett and Andy Grler-
son who have Just returned from
trip to Copper Center to get some
horses belonging to Bartlett. They
say that the trail Is getting In such
bad condition that It Is hard to see
how the long string of outfits brought
up on the Oregon and Santa Clara
can get through. They were back In
Valdex before either vessel arrived,
and coming out passed a line of sleds.
drawn by horses, dogs and men, that
looked like a procession.
Griorson and Bartlett state that
when they came through sleds were
already getting stalled and sometimes
breaking down by going Into deep
chuck holes. These are made In the
deep snow In low places by one heavy
loud after another pounding Into tho
holes until some of them are six feet
deep and have to be avoided.
The Seward men say, as does the
Valdex News, that the mushers were
beginning to leave part of their loads
because of sheer Inability to carry
them through. One huge pile of pro
visions carried the sign, "Help your
selves." Not many men went to help
themselves, however, because most of
those going through have outfits of
a size which worries them to trans

ART AS AN AD WRITER.
Artistic decoration of motor cars Is
the rage In Paris, and several famous
artists have not disdained to design
panels for rich owners, who could af
ford a high-priced article of decora
tion. The panels generally show the
heraldic emblems of the owners. But
many are decorated with fine rural
scenes or a bit from mythology. Some
of the wealthy have gone In for the
old-time decorations, such as appear
ed on the stage coaches of their
grandfathers. . Up to this time the
ildeous numbers that have -to be car
ried on cars have successfully thwart
ed the best artists. They say It can
never, be made less hideous than the
law hns made it. The Argonaut.
A PLEA.
Speak gently to the millionaire,
Oh do not be unkind!
You know he has a lot of care
And trouble on his mind.
He cannot see the humor vhlrh
Inspired your merry chaff. 1
He's been so busy getting rich
He hasn't tlmoj to laugh.
He has to labor night and day
Our college folk to tell
The Way to make their wisdom pay
And also how to spell.
Don't Jeer with saturnine Intent
The wealth that brings him fame.
It may have been an accident
For which he's not to blame.
