ABOVE THE CIVIL LAW Governor West lias taken1 posses sion of Copperfield by military force. lie lias set aside the civi law and has established martial law. Martial law is entire susiwiision of all civil or ordinary governmental processes, ami is substitution of the rule of a null tary commander who becomes at once in his own person the law or whatever law there is. Calmly viewed, tthe OopperfieM ep isode is an assertion of the supreme will of the Governor of Oregon over all the constitutional guarantees of the average citizen. His wiirreul is solely that the end justifies the means. Copperfield was controlled by tJie saloons, and long had been. The Miyor and several Council men were in the liquor business, and were Hit brnuiciaries of the license privilege parted by themselves as pub'it- i f-ficial- to themselves as eitiaena. This in itself it not unlawful proce;-iing, though it is unseenly and improper ; i.or is there any assertion fr.-n: m.y reputable source that tlicv had been ;. ll.igraat violations of Ihw at lp perfield by the saloons or on their account. But unquestionably the condition was bad. The county au thorities would not, or could not, cor rect in, and the Copperfield citir-em were either powerless, or afraid, or in different. Then the Governor took a hand and sent Miss Hobbs to Copper field accompanied by a militia guard and armed with an eieeutive procta-j nation. Now the saloon are closea, and the Governor purposes, he says, to keep them closed. The issue is clearly made between the Governor, who supersedes the civil law, and the men of Copperfield, who have captur ed and. have been using the machinery of law for their own benelit, but who have nevertheless not broken the laws. If the Copperfield episode stood by itself, it might not be significant or ominous. It is impossible to de fend or excuse the saloons there, and it is impossible to justify the methods by which they have been licensed and maintained. But underlying this tin pleasant situation is the fundamental question of law observance and law respect by Governor ns well as by saloonkeepers. If the Governor of Oregon by bis fiat and the exercise of the military power of the state may suppress the saloon-keepers and destroy the saloons of Copperfield, he may suppress the saloon-keepers and destroy the Saloons of Portland. If he may act in this arbitrary and ex traordinary fashion against Hie sa loons, he mav move against any other institution displeasing him. He may interfere with and control the gov ernment of Portland or any city in the state, or tlie slate itself, to bring about any result whatever, and the only limits to his executive preroga tive are Ins ability to carry out Ins plnns. It does not meet the question to say that the end is justifiable. That may be conceded, and is conceded; but the means are nevertheless re prehensible. The Governor who uses liis extraordinary power for you, in any emergency, may by your approval be encouraged to use the same power against you, in any other emergency. It is therefore most dangerous and unwarrantable exercise of power. It is a grave thing to sus)end civil authority. It is an unheard-of proceeding anywhere in any civilized government, except in times of rebellion or great public peril. No such situation exists any where in Oregon. Oregonian. KEEP papera for a year, the space to be filled with cards of the different mer chants. In effect this would be business directory and would at least inform the readers of the papers. many of whom, it must not be for gotten, are newcomers, what lines of business are represented in Hillsboro. This business man figured that there are more than 100 different concerns in the city, only a small proportion of which invito trade or let the people know they are in bus iness through the columns of the pncrs. The Independent has believed mer chants have not availed themselves of this method of meeting outside competition to the extent they might. The business directory plan cannot but accomplish good and emphatically advertise the business resources of the city, but we believe in addition a strong effort to attract business should be made by detailed descrip tion of weekly offerings and if pos sible the prices which are asked. Of course 4 here is the merchant who says advertising does not pay, but he has his answer m the state ment of the catalogue house man ager. Used intelligently as the cata logue house uses it, it returns a big ler cent on the investment, hut it should always be considered an in vestment nnd not an expense. Specially illustrated editions of weekly newspapers as Christmas and New Year's numbers, have been less this year than usual. Illustrations come high and most newspaer8 are coming to the same conclusion that the extra money invested in "special editions" is of much more value to the reader if divided over tlie vcar and thus make each issue better. MAIL ORDER HOUSES POSTED. As the new parcel post rates are now in force the mail order houses are reading the county paiers and watch the advertisements with eagle eyes. When they find that the mer chants do not use tlie papers to adver tise their goods they immediately flood that county with their cata louges, they well know (hat the farm er wants to see the priced in black and white. The Hillsboro Indeien- dent publishes the plan outlined by a merchant of that town to meet the condition and give the mail houses a setback. It says: The plan suggested by the Hillsboro merchant was for tlie business men to nnite and buy apace ia the local There is nothing an American will not do. now where he will not go to get motion pictures.
