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. "

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. Get an
outfufrom Graham & Wells today and
begin its use at once.
