fast enough for anybody.
It is now the City ot Bend. Tin
officers chosen nt the" election 01
Dec. 19 have until Jan. 10 to takt
their respective oaths nnd enter up
on discharge of their duties, li
will require careful attention am
good business judgment to orgnn
ire the new town properly, but
when organized right its affair
ought to proceed with little fric
tion.
If John Hippie, who abandonee
a family in Pittsburg 40 years ago,
came to Oregon, added Mitchell to
his name nnd went into politics,
will pardon our interest in the mat
ter wc will suggest that the time is
ripe for him to move again, to
place where grand juries are un
known, nnd take still another
name.
The report of the statistician o'
the department of agriculture is
good reading for pessimists. Over
92,000,000 acres of corn worth
more than $1,000,000,000; 44,000,
000 acres of wheat worth Ssoo.oop'

tfHE PROPOSED NEW COUNTY.
Again n move to organize a new
county from parts of Crook Waco
ond Sherman is taking form. Tin
time it is to be called Jefferson in
stead of Stpckraan, because of thi
Lewis and Clark year having specio
reference to President Jefferson ant
also because ML Jeffersop will bein
the southwestern corner of the new
county. There is less opposition to
the move this year than there wa
two j ears ago. Wascocounty. it
is Said, has entirely withdrawn her
opposition and there is no division
of sentiment within the proposed
new county, a there was before.

tied and .there is demand for closer
attention to roads and bridges, tax
tttion and other essentials of com
munity life. The people naturally
want to be in touch with their own
local goverment, not to be held off
nt arm's length with nothing but
the tax gatherer to remind them
they nic enjoying the blessings ot
liberty. As the country becomes
occupied social t editions become
complex and the necessity for gov
ernmental regulation is greater.
At the fame time the ability to
bear the burden of'-government
increases, and expenses that would
crush a few pioneer townships arc-
borne easily when the smtne area
becomes populous and rich.
You can't force the producers to
patrouixc an inferior market when
a better one is available. You cau"t

UITCM ILL'S irrDlCTMONT.
It is all" Very ' fine for Senator
Mitchell to "prate about his long
mblic service, as if it constituted aj
lefense against the charge of land
rud, the grand jury has brought
gainst him. He is also entitled to
I'll! the consolation he can get from
.vliining that his indictment is
brought about by the testimony ot
,riured villains. Admit, for the
wke of argument, that both are
true: Does that make the senator
guiltless of the charge? That is
thereat point, Is he guilty? II
he is, his long service at the public
crib will not help him, nor will the
act that the testimony convicting
him is that of the slick rogues with
wliom the senator has been pleased
to hobnob.
The plain truth of the matter is
that Senator Mitchell's career in 1
Oregon has pot been such as would
bring liim much comfort iti such
stress s he is now in. His favorites
and doie companions Imyc always
been of the class that knows
which aide its bread is buttered on'trt the bus.nes at once.

of any discerning citizen that hn'
entire career i itrewn with acts

it i humiliating to admit that
regou UMflolong siipported such
'preifenution in courck. Hut
ere u no evaditiit the truth and
U better to recognize' thn toridi-
on now than to -on'iinue to escune
ud tolerate a line ot conduct that
ot only degrade public ihomU
nd makes private virtue x joke,
Hit work untold Ios6 to the state
id nation.
The lotv conception of civic duty,
vhich regards public oflice as a safe
.jiace from which to plunder the
general public for the benefit of a
ejv unscrupulous henchmen, is
retty certain, soon or late, to meet
'.riet. Honest error, or even stupid
ignorance, bring uo&uch judgments.
Senator Mitchell has been a notor
ious dispenser of special favors, he
is a man of unusual keenness nnd
resource, he has "worked his load"
or all. there was in it. At this
ate day he is at bay. Whether Jte
shall finally be legally convicted or
not. nublic.sentiment will recoenize I
the danger of continuing support to
. . - . .
uch an uuworthy servant.
Congr.njan - Hermann docs not
lack in craftiness but vhe does lack
the great initiative of Senator Mit-
chell in those matters. . It was a
..ct-ib'.ws lhat needed organization
to succeed and there could not well
he two leaders. So Mitchell has
been leader and Hermann his able
coadjutor, in Washington as well
as in Oregon. And Mays and the
rest were no dead-head; in the
enterprise.
Cohtrol of federal patronage has
heretofore served to keep measur
ably covered the personal and olli
cinl delinquency of these persons in
high place. And it may be assert
ed with confidence that but for the
presence of Theodore Roosevelt
at the head of the government this
investigation would long ago have
been 'Vailed off' and thesoutcesot
