EFFECTUAL DENIAL. No man ever accomplished any1' thing: for himself nor for others without a well defined'and clear plan of action. The same may be said of aggregations of men This is a truth worked out by human experience ana is so uni versally accepted thaftit is the mere statement of a truism. Politically men hold to diger- ent principles or, s is often true, differ upon the illative weight and importance "which -should be given to any one principle. So long as men hold divergent opin ions on these things - they wil and should divide up into groups or parties which are composed of men whose opinions and beliefs are in harmony. Parties, there fore, are inevitable. More than this: they are necessary and right. It is improbable that a demo cratic form of government could long be maintained without the existence of two or more par ties. At all events, as men are now constituted, any attempt to conduct a democratic form of government without the inter vention of party would result in disaster to and ultimate destruc tion of all semblance of demo cratic government. " It may be that we have carried partisan ship too far in the conduct of our government, but if so, it forms no argument against the need and benefit of parties but rather against the abuse of party power. No party can advance its prin ciples, however benificent these may be, without efficient organi zation. As well might a general expect to fight battles and to gain victories with unorganized, undisciplined troops. In several "states the republi can party, from several causes, has had the efficiency of its or- ganization impaired. I his is notably so in Oregon. The spirit of factionalism has weakened. well nigh destroyed all party or ganization and left the party like a rudderless ship at sea. There are hopeful signs that this spirit has spent itself and, that next June and again next No vember, the party will score vic tories which will show the whole country that Oregon republicans have not forsaken their princi ples nor turned aside from their purposes. While republicans of other counties are organizing for active work in, behalf of the party, Benton county republicans are supine. Two years ago they made an active, clean and suc cessful campaign. There must be more thorough organization and more earnest work this year because the things involved in the contest are of greater im portance. Benton county- republicans should organize. If they do not it will be because some are actuated by selfish purposes and. fear that party organization would defeat these. Indeed, there are those who assert this as their belief. The effectual denial of any grounds for this is for all to unite in harmonious organization for the good of the party and not in the interest of any two or three who have self interest to the fore. Will you organize? If so get busy at once. Every loyal citizen takes a genuine interest in the growth of his own town and in ita schools and business enterprises. Such a citizen will do all in his power to help and not hinder the ad vancement of his city. He is not the sort of man you find loaf ing on the streets, puffing a pipe, or expectorating tobacco juice on the sidewalk, while he boasts how "'other" towns are growing. HARSH CRITICISM. It is unfortunate when any of our courts render decisions which practically inform the people that' they have been leaning on a broken reed,1 trusting hr-sorae Law to work their just purpose, only to learn that it is fatally de fective. It is an added misfor tune when the decision is reached through attaching too great weight to mere legal,, technicali ties. - Decisions adverse to what the mass of intelligent citizens be lieve to be the true and plain in tent of the law always provoke sharp criticism and when such de cisions rest on fine technicalities criticism becomes harsh and An gry. tsit many cases are carried to appeal on no other than mere technical grounds which might be disregarded without impair ing the administration of justice. Indeed techmcahtiy is resorted to most frequently with the stud ied purpose of delaying and final ly defeating: justice. The judges of our courts might consort to uproot what we may designate' as merely technichal praotice. If trial judges would refuse to entertain all pleas, mo tions and exceptions made on merely technical, grounds when this might be done without prej udice to the cause of justice, it would certainly expedite the now wearisome and tedious transac tion of business laid before them, f courts of appeal would then refuse to entertain appeals grounded on frivolous technical ity causes would be tried and de- cided more surely and quickly in the interest of justice. It is re freshing to see a judge once m while brush all technical sub terfuges aside and decide a ca3e on its real merits. Criticism of our judges how ever may be carried to unwar ranted extent. This is especial- true when the United States Supreme Court is the subject of criticism. Through all its his tory the judges of this court have, with rare exception, been courageous, fearless, patriotic men deeply versed m all our forms and kinds of law and pro found believers in our form of government. No nation has a cryef judiciary entitled to greater confidence than we have. No people have greater reason to be proud of their chief judiciary than we have of ours. Yet we subject ours to the most indis criminating criticism. The late decision of ex-Congressman Williamson's case has brought down a fair avalanche of ill-founded criticism on the supreme court. Yet every alle gation of error, save one, was denied. The one sustained plainly founded on a defect of the law. This defect was evi dently hidden from the trial judge by an accepted regulation of the General Land Office which was believed to be a correct ex pression and application of the law. It was not, and therefore of no value in trying. the case. Justice Harlan simply recorded his dissent, evidently not regard ing the matter of enough impor tance to induce him to give out a minority opinion. When disappointing decisions are rendered the layman may do as Horace Greeley once did with a decision of this kind. He pub lished it in full and simply said: "Since this is not good sense it is presumably good law. " PHILOMATH SNAPSHOTS. Social Events and Other News Told in Entertaining Style. One of the notable events of the season took place at the I. O. O.

SAYS IT IS FACT. Graham & Wells Confirm Guar antee on Hyomei, Cure for Catarrh. The question having been raised a& to whether or not Graham & Wella will re fund the money if a Hyomei outfit does not do all that it claimed for it in caring catarrh, they want to state positively that this guarantee is an absolute fact. A. guarantee like this is the best p'oof that can be offered aa to the curative powers of Hyomei in all catarrhal troub les. You do not risk a cent in testing its healing virtues, Graham & Wella take all the risk. If yon have catarrh, try thia wonderful medicated air of Hyomei. It does not drag or derange the stomach, but is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with every ontBt, so that its medication reaches the mo9t remote air cells in the nose, throat and lungs, where any catarrhal germe may be lurking. It quicklv destroys them, heals and soothes the irritated mucous membrane and vital izes the tissues so that catarrh is no long er possible. Yon can lose nothing by giving Hyomei a trial, nothing but the catarrh and that is good riddance. The price of the complete outfit is but $1 00; nothing if it fails to cure.
