An Initiative measure increasing the number of supreme Judges from three to five will be found on the of ficial ballot and it seems that this Is a deserving measure and should become a law. The last legislature added two com rr.lssloners to the supreme court, be cause the court needed more men, be cause more work Is required of the court with the Increasing volume of business. There should be no divided dignity In t're supreme court. These com missioners, if they are needed as as sociate judges or commissioners, are needed as judges, and this bill ele vating them to the position of judge should be passed. The same bill rearranges the coun ty .probate and circuit court system of the state and attorneys say that the new law simplifies matters largely. There are too many courts in the pres ent Judiciary system of the state and if the law will simplify it, let us pass It and reduce court red tape and court expenses, If possible. Th rntlre Initiative bill sepms be worthy and should pass. u-rlly answer, except by admitting that he "playa to the galleries" often and that he has also disregarded the wishes of the people repeatedly, al though his friends now claim he is the "only" advocate of the people's choice for United States senator. Mr. I" Ken says In part: In the campaign of 1902, under the Mays law for the people's selection of United States senator, Governor G er defeated Mr. Wood by a majority of about 12.000 votes. In the legisla ture of 1903 Mr. Wood publicly advis ed every democrat member to vote a'ways for Governor Gvr because he was the people's choice, and therefore should be unanimously elected by the legislature. You did not add the weight of your indorsement to Mr. Wood's advice, nor did you then -advocate applying the statement Xo. 1 principle to the elec tion of Governor Geer as senator. Again, when Senator Mitchell's death in 1905 caused a vacancy, In stead of appointing Governor Geer, who was the people's choice by a 12.000 majority, or even Mr. Wood, who was the choice of your party, you went far outside the ranks of the re formers and appointed Mr. Gearln. When you appointed Mr. Gearin In 1905 you were not yet convinced that the statement No. 1 method of enforc ing the Mays law for the people's di rect election of U. S. senator was a practicnl thing for a politician, though you had been a member of the league which proposed the law to the people in 1904. In the statement No. 1 campaign of 1906 you did not make any great ef fort for the principle. Anti-statement No. 1 Senator Milton A. Miller is one o; your warmest democratic friends and admirers and he promised some of the republican anti-statement No. 1 loaders that if they would help to elect him', he would never vote for Jonathan Bourne. He was elected and he did not. Senator Miller won the nomination against a good democrat who had signed statement No. 1. You did not lift your voice for the statement No. 1 man. That case Is a sample of your devotion to the principle of state ment No. 1 In 1906. I could give other examples. Mr. New yesterday partly admitted that the reports were true. He denied that the number of tickets at the (lis posal of the president had been fixed at 500, but said that the president could have pretty nearly anything he wanted. While neither denying nor affirm v.g that the administration feared an attempt at convention packing by Mr Cannon, the national chairman went to some length to show how easily the friends of "Uncle Joe" could do ;omo "packing" for their favorite If they were so disposed. EXCITED OVEK S.MAIX POTATO I'KOM OUlXiOX to TICKETS AND PARTIES. Every honest and sincere citizen ad mits that It Is better to vote for and support a clean man In an opposing party than for a rascal In your own party; that the welfare of the govern ment is always greater than the sel Jlsh interests of Individuals. But In Umatilla county this year, there is absolutely no need of either party "knifing" any of their candi dates. J3oth parties in this county have nominated a set of clean, capable and honest men. against whom net a -whisper of accusation has been heard, or will be heard, and so every candi date Is entitled to the full party strength. If there were dishonest men on either ticket, this would not be right advice. The county government must be protected and guarded, but where . candidates are ciean, honest and ca pable, the parties cannot afford to be tray them. If party principles bind men together, If party affiliation counts for anything, they should em phatically count where candidate are honest, clean and capable. Every honest party candidate Is entitled to the full vote of his party. If not, party amounts to nothing. GETTEVG A HOME EDUCATION. The Columbia, Mo., Herald gives the following entertaining statistics on home education. This little Item should carry the University of Oregon appropriation. The Herald says: "How much does a Missouri boy cost? Fathers and guardians with boys to bring up estimate that $3000 will rear to manhood the average Missouri boy, will send him seven months in the year for eight years to the district school, four years to high school and four years to college or university. This amount will cover his food, clothing, books and stationery. It will even permit a margin for "torn foolness,' as one father picturesquely styles amusements. "The cost of the state is, on the av eiago, JT60 for each boy. Of this amount $ 1 S 0 Is for the ellmentary school, ilSO for the high school and $100 a year for four years at the unl versify. The state pays $7.60 and the parent Days $2240 and the net result Is one Missouri boy, educated In Mis souri schools for life."' . It Is truly something to educate a boy at home, as the Herald says, to give him an Oregon training, an Ore gon spirit, and Oregan-made citizen ship. Home pride and patriotism should cause Oregonlans to enthusiastically support their state university, In the knowledge that It will put the Oregon brand on the minds and characters of young men and women! A recent Issue of the Artigo, Wis., Journal contains the following: A recent Issue of the Aitlgo, wis.. Journal contains the following: "Henry Lelber brought a potato to the Journal office this afternoon that he had received from A. W. Fish, for merly of this county, but now living in Eugene, Oregon. It weighs over three pounds und is a foot lung. It Is certainly a wonder, but Mr. Leiber says he Is going to plant a seed from it und raise a potuto that weighs four pounds, and skin Oregon on raising potatoes." Mr. Fish Is naturally pleased with the sensation this three-pound pota to produced back there, as It Is evi dence to his old home friends that he has made no mistake In choosing a new location In the west. Dut,- tpeaking of potatoes, there Is one In The Guard office that weighs eight pounds and does not seem to be such an overgrown specimen for this country at that. The litle fellow Mr. Fish sent back to Wisconsin was only a dwarf compared with this big ro bust product of Lane county, and last fall we had nearly a bushel In this office, picked up by our circulation manager at Blachley, that averaged five pounds apiece In weight.. The ambition of the Wisconsin man to grow a four-pound potato is cer tainly laudable but It sounds funny out here where four-pound potatoes are as common as Initiative amend ments to the state constitution.

He isn't idle today, but Friday he was going some. In North Y'akima he took Just about $13 a minute for every minute of an eight hour working day. That beats telling about In the Republic for wages. There are 480 minutes In a union day and Friday had the usual number. Some 900 tickets to Seattle at $6.40 per, were sold at the station here. That makes close to two a min ute, and the blow almost killed Uyer- son. Before tonight has closed the week Mr. Hill will have swapped little pieces of cardboard for about $7000 worth of Yakima money and he expects to get as much more of the profit on last season's peaches before the fleet of warships leaves Tacoma on Memo rial day. TOR GOVFJKXOR CILVMBERLAIX. W. S. U'Ren has Just Issued an open letter to Governor Chamberlain on the senatorshlp and especially on Gover nor Chamberlain's attitude toward , statement No. 1, of which the gover nor's friends are saying so much. Some pertinent questions are asked ' the governor by Mr. U'Ren, questions which the governor cannot satlafac- "PACKIXG" THE CONVENTION. Reports that National Republican Chairman Harry New was holding out 500 tickets of admission to the repub lican presidential nominating conven tlon In June for the exclusive use of President Roosevelt, that hundreds of other tickets had' been laid aside for the federal office-holders. Including a large corps of consuls, who will return home for the convention, and that Mr. Taft had been assured that he could have "anything he wants," were In general circulation yesterday, In Chicago, says the Chicago American. These reports gave rise to a theory, advanced In many quarters, that the Coliseum would be "packed" for Mr. Taft with an army of deep-lunged "rooters" Instructed to greet the Ohloan with a demonstration calcu lated to drive Into line any uncertain delegation which might be waiting for the first Indication of the direction of the wind before declaring themselves. The frlenda of Mr. Cannon, It was sa'd, had planned to pack the conven tion for him, and the latest plan of the administration waa seen as a counter-movement. To Extend EUvtrli- Lines. The Union Republican gives out the following: It Is the purpose of the Grand Ronde Electric company to buill about 35 miles of electric (power) line this season from Union, to con nect with the Rock Creek line in Ra ker county at a cost of $50,000. This line will connect with th lines of the Fremont Power company at the Red Hoy mine, to the south of Sumpter. thus assuring the patrons of the Grand Ronde company ample power the year around. This much Is told the Republican this week by Manager Fred Housh, who was In Union Monday. The company will also erect a brick addition to the Union station, 24x21, one and one-half stories, for trans formers. The company has out upon the line at the present time a force of men making all necessary repairs and placing the line In first-class condition.
