MOKE INDEPENDENT BENC H.
The growing sentlmen in Oregon
for a mixed political complexion in
the supreme court causes the Salem
Journal to discuss the subject In the
following manner:
. "Would not the Oregon supreme
bench be more independent with one
democrat on it?
"George W. Alger, who has won
himself a place as one of the keenest
critics of our American social and
economic life, has a notable paper in
the April Atlantic on Criminal Law
Reform. Considering the delays and
frustrations in criminal ' proceedings
which have been so fruitful a source
of lynehings and other wrongs In
America, he points out that the cli.i f
causes of the delay and defeat of
Justice is the growing restriction
placed upon the bench.
"American Judges, he s lys. have
much less Independence of action
than those of other countries, and
that which they have is constantly
growing less. This is one of the most
serious questions of the time, and Mr.
Alger's discussion of it merits the at
tention of all thoughtful readers.
"One of the great Issues of the
Oregon campaign is whether Judge
Hailey. democratic Judge, shall be
elected to succeed himself.
"The Oregon supreme court has in
the past been solidly republican, and
by the promotion of Wolverton to the
federal bench. Governor Chamberlain
appointed a democrat.'
The East Oregonian believes that
Justice Hailey should be elected to
succeed himself. Particularly so,
since he has been on the state su
preme bench and Is now familiar
with the work of the court, and Is In
perfect harmony with his colleagues,
who respect him most highly.
Justice Hailey, is not offensively
partisan. Neither are Justices Moore
or Iiean. and such a court, balanced
from a political standpoint arid com
ing from different sections of the
state should be capable of giving Or
egon an excellent administration of
Justice.
Justice Hailey is an eastern Oregon
boy, having been born in La Grande
when ttiat town was but a village be
side the Hailey stage road stretching
across eastern Oregon and Idaho,
from L'mutllla Landing to Boise.
It would be an especially graceful
eompl'ment to return him to the su
preme bench at the coming election.
THE POSTAL GRAFT.
Postal clerks complain that during
the rnail-welghli g period the malls
have been deluged with fourth-class
matter from all parts of the country.
One clerk, speaking to a representa
tive of the Lincoln (Neb.) News, says
that the quantity of matl nas doubled
and even trebled since the govern
ment ordered the weighing several
weeks ago. This clerk added;
"It beats all previous records for
this senson of the year. There Is such
a mountainous pile of circulars and
pamphlets coming In each time that
it hits become a htlff proposition for
the postal clerk to handle his run
properly. Advertisements of patent
medicines, machinery, so-called health
foods, garden seeds from the agricul
tural department at Washington, by
the bushel, a host of others too large
to name.
"One of the noticeable things is the
number that are addressed to people
of towns along the line who can have
little, if any use for the bulk of the
truck. A postal clerk soon learns to
weed out the legitimate advertise
ments from those which appear to
have no license to cumber the malls.
Such worthless stuff hits certainly the
call now. Look at this package. It
weigh.! nearly four pounas and I will
bet a new suit It Is stuff that will be
' thrown into the waste basket or
! thrown out of the window as soon as
! the wrapper Is torn off."
DROPPER FROM THE KOLI.S.
The Memphis News-Sclmltar re
views the list of congressmen who
have been dropped from the rolls
during the present session. The re
view Is interesting to Oregon since
Oregon has lost Its two members of
the house. The News-Scimitar says:
Ordered stricken from the rolls by
Speaker Cannon, the name of M. R
Patterson, "representative" from the
Tenth district of Tennessee, n longer
clogs the membership list In the
house.
The clerk has called tne name of
Representative Patterson many times
since congress assembled. The name
has been called when democrats and
southerners needed every vote which
might be mustered, when no member
who might be reached by messenger
or telegraph was permitted to remain
away. ,
But no response came to that name
when the roll was called. The Hon
Mr. Patterson was "too busy" In Ten
nessee to attend to his duties In con
gress, duties which he had sworn to
obey when he begged the people of
the Tenth district to elect him.
It is evident that the house did not
consider seriously Mr. Patterson's
statement last Sunday that he would
go to congress and take up his duties
which had been neglected during his
campaign. Mr. Patterson must have
received an inkling of what was being
said In Washington, for his determln
atlon to visit the capitol was a sud
den one. But It came too late.
Attention has been called repeated
ly to the fact that Malcolm R. Pat
terson, member of congress from the
Tenth district of Tennessee, elected by
the people to serve as their represen
tative and protect their interests, had
been recreant to his trust; that he
had not visited Washington since the
beginning of his terrn even, to be
sworn In, that he might possibly pair
his vote with some republican mem
ber, and thus avoid the lors of his
vote; that he had been campaigning
all over the state, assailing the' prin
ciples of the democratic party and
attempting to create the most serious
factional rupture in the history of
Tennessee democracy.
John N. Williamson, a republican
member from Oregon, avho had also
failed to present himself in the ses
sions of congress, was also dropped.
Mr. Patterson did not fall to draw
his salary for the work he did not do.
He presented his claim fur the $5000
u year which a congressman Is enti
tled to draw for services rendered,
and received It. He has not yet drawn
the mileage which members receive,
because of the rule providing that
no mileage shall be paid until after
the member has been sworn In. And
Mr. Patterson wan too busy In Ten
nessee to go to Washington even to
take the oath of office.

Next are they who never do a thing
until they are told twice; such get no

who do the right thing only; when
necessity kicks them from behind.

than this, we have the fellow who will

MY OTHER ME.
Children, do you ever,
In walks by land or sea.
Meet a little maiden,
Long time lost to me?
I
She is gay and gladsome,
Has a laughing face,
And a heart as sunny.
And her name is Grace.
Naught she knows of sorrow,
Naught of doubt or blight;
Hei.ven Is just above her
All her thoughts are white.
Long time since I lost her,
That other me of hiine:
She crossed Into Time's shadow
Out of Youth's sunshine.
Now the darkness keeps her,
And, call as I will, ,
The years that lie between us
Hide her from me still.
I am dull and paln-worh,
And lonely as can be
Oh, children, If you meet her,
Send back my other me!

HER "NO" COST HIM $-1,000,000,
The Goldfield country tells a story
of how a woman's "no" cost Charles
M. Schwab $4,000,000 and made her
husband that much wealthier. The
woman who said It is the wife of
Robert Montgomery, a mining expert
and prospector, who had had his ups
and downs In ftearch for yellow metal
and finally came Into possession of a
mine in Tonopah region of Nevada.'
Charles M. Schwab became Interest
ed In gold mlnlngcompanles and be
came convinced that Nevada had a
bright future. In taking a survey of
the mineral resources of the state he
encountered "Bob" Montgomery, a
plain-spoken man, and the Montgom
ery Shoshone mine. "I offered him a
million for It about two years ago."
said Mr. Schwab. In speaking of the
transaction, "and he was about to
take it. In fact, I considered the deal
closed. Vie went to San Francisco, I
and the first thing I knew Mrs. Mont
gomery had persuaded him to with
draw from the negotiations. Nothing
more was heard of the matter for
nearly a year, and I made another trip
out there. I again negotiated for the
property. Mrs. Montgomery kept on
saying 'no,' and finally I acquired th'
property on a basis of $", 000,0(10. Her
'no' cost me $4,000,000."
Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery are liv
ing at the St. Francis hotel In San
Francisco, and Mrs. Montgomery has
told an Interviewer that they are not
planning any mining camp splurge
with their money. Her husband has
always bad money enough to give
them some luxuries, she says, and
the' millions they will get from the
mining deal will not make n great
deal of difference In their mode of
living. Chicago Tribune.
VAIN" ARE THE KAYS.
More and more, as I jog along;
More and more, as the truth I see;
More and more in the daytldc song.
When the soul of the world doth
speak 1o me.
I know that the sunlight vainly plays.
Casting Its sheen with a magic art;
Valuer and vainer are all Its rays,
.Except there be sunshine In my
heart.
It Isn't the sun which shines without;
It is only the sun which shines
within.
Which makes us greater than care
atid doubt.
Insuring the trophy that we shall
win.
Oh, the sun may beat on a glimmer
ing world,
Till the phantoms fade and the
shadows sturt.
But all In vain Is Its flag unfurled.
Except there be sunshine in the

CURE FOR SNAKE BITE.
This paper notes with deep regret
that a number of persons are dying
from the bite of rattlesnakes in dif
ferent sections of Texas. Most all
cases are young children, and In a
good many Instances they are bitten
on the hand or foot.
In such cases the following remedy
Is said to bo a splendid antidote for
the rattler's bite, provided It Is used
Immediately after being bitten: Take
a pan or bowl and pour enough kero
sene oil to cover the wound. It will
draw the poison out Immediately and
In the course of a few minutes turn
perfectly green; then pour out tho oil
and refill tho bowl, being careful to
put In enough oil to completely cover
the wound.
Leave the foot or hand In the oil
as long as the oil turns green. Then
put on a poultice of plain tahlo salt
and saturate thoroughly with oil.
Keep this up for about an hour and
there Is scarcely any danger of fatal
results. Merkel (Texas) Mall. .

WHERE WOMAN ALWAYS RI LES.
One of the most Interesting of the
rulers who greeted the prince and
princess of Wales on their arrival In t
India was the begum of Phopal, for it
seems at first sight a curious Incon
gruity that it Mohammedan stale
should be ruled by a woman.
P.hopal Is the only state in the world
where the ruler must always be n
woman, and the present begun has
done a great deal to vindicate the
principle as one of practical advantage.
In former days the husbands of the
begums occupied a most curiously un
important position in the state, an 1
were freely changed, as the fancy of
the ruler or the supposed necessities
of her politics happened to require.
