NEED MOKE JUDGES.
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.

'Mlnr Hill (t SI3 IVr .Minute.
Jim Hiu is smoKing "twofers" or
better today, says the Y'akima Ke
public. And he has a right to. Fri
day was his busy day. 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.

W. S. U'Ren has Just Issued an open
letter to Governor Chamberlain on the
senatorshlp and especially on Gover

Some pertinent questions are asked

"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.
