Ono of tho fundamental differ
ences between the suffragists and
anti-suffragists as I see it is, that
the former clings to tho belief
that tho ballot in itself is a pana
cea for all existing evils nnd all
powerful as a remedial agent of
government, while tho lnttor re
cognizes, in tnoso opening years
of tho 20th century, tho develop
ment of a power more potent
than the ballot a power which
at present wo call educated or
enlightened public opinion. The
ballot hasn't solved our child
labor problem and never will.
Tho ballot hasn't solved tho ne
gro trouble, it has tended rather
to complicate it, but an awakened
public opinion has decreed that
these problems and others akin
to them shall bo taken out of tho
realm of politics and bo consider
ed and dealt with from an eco
nomic and humanitarian point of
view, and this is being done
through the conferences and con
gresses on cnuu labor, tho caro
of dependent children, tubercu
losis and other questions, which

entirely eliminate tho personnl
element in our consideration of
this subject. It is not a question
of whether wo want to vote or
do not want to vote.
Wo havo the welfare and de
velopment of our country at heart
and after a studious contempla
tion of the governmental princi
ples involved, we are firmly con
vinced that such "a revolution.
ary change" as Mr. Gladstone
called woman suffrage, would bo
against the best interest of tho
state, its women nnd tho home,
and would bo a step backward
rather than ono in advance.
A man in public life when in
terviewed this winter on tho sub
ject of woman suffrage said
"Somewhere within tho borders
of this country today there aro
mothers who aro bringing up
four presidents, ono hundred
cabinet officers, three hundred
Senators and fivo thousands re
presentatives who between tho
years of 1930 and 1950 will bo

try nnd measurably tho history
of the world."

for more than an ounce in a ton.

Oregon hot only raises tho best
sheep in tho Union, but they will
compare favorably with any in
tho world, in tho opinion of Geo.
W. McKniglit, of Vale, president
of tho Oregon Wool Growers
Association. Ho expects this
fact will bo demonstrated at tho
coming convention of tho Nation
al Wool Growers Association,
which opens in Portland on Janu
ary 1.
"We shall have tho greatest
sheep show over held in Oregon,"
ho said. "Our breeders will
have a great chanco to show their
stock, and if we win in tho com
ing competition they can safely
tako their sheep anywhere in tho
world."
Tho Portland convention of tho
Nutional Wool Growers Associa
tion, which is tho oldest livestock
organization in the United States,
will be tho biggest in the history
of that organization. Tho state
association of wool growers will
meet in Portland just before
the National convention, tho
exact date to be determined
later.
Oregon's applo show is receiv
ing very wide attention. Louis
W. Hill, president of tho Great
Northern Ry., is taking interest
in tho coming exhibit and offers
a cash prize of $250 for tho'best
exhibit of apples from any dis
trict tributary to tho GrcatNorth-
ern. Two cash prizes of. $250
each will be presented for tho
best exhibits of npples. Fruit
growers of Oregon, Washington;
Idaho and Montana will bo oligi
blo in these two classes.
Tho Lane County Applo Show,
to bo held nt Eugene October 20,
21 and 22' under tho auspices of
tho merchants and tho Commer
cial Club of that city, promises
to mako a fino showing of Wil
lamette Valley apples. A long
list of prizes has been arranged
and there is, not fee for entries,
of which there will undoubtedly
bo a largo number. Lane Coun
ty is growing apples that would
bo hard to beat anywhere, and
tho visitors to Eugene on the
above dates will see tho valley

Tho British tramp steamship,

of lumber ever floated at this or

300,000 feet of fir lumber, weigh
ing approximately 8,745 not tons
and valued at $00,000. It is
stated that to produco this ono

uppermost this year aro issues
outside the realm of either the
republican or democratic parties.
In Jtho state enmpaign the prin
cipal involved has to do with the
maintenance of tho direct prima
ry law. There aro two general
factions within tho stato. Ono
is progressive and upholds tho
primary law anu Kindred mea
sures. Tho other element is re
actionary and would do away
with these laws if but allowed to
do so. Tho assembly was held
in violation to the direct primary
law for assemblies aro absolutely
antagonists to tho spirit and
letter of the law. Tho man who
promoted tho assembly hoped to
break down tho direct primary
by tho counter' establishment of
the assembly system which would
havo loft the primary law intact
but impotent. Of this there can
be no reasonable doubt.
Since they woro given a severe
setback in tho primary election
tho assemblyitcs have lain low.
They try to put forth the im
pression that asscmblyiam is
dead. But it is not It is only
"playing possum." The republi
can candidate for governor is an
asscmblyito though they aro not
parading the fact. But elect an
assembly governor and an nssem-

happen. The assembly plan will
bo dragged forth from its death
chamber and the claim will bo

Appearing in tho southeastern
sky liko a huge ball of fire, an
illuminntcd body, oblong in shape,
with a straight fine tail suspend
ed perpendicularly, was a strange
spectacle that attracted tho at
tention of thousands of Portland
persons last night;
Tho surprising body first made
its appearance about 7:30 o'clock,
and grow gradually in brightness
reaching intense brilliancy about
8:15 o'clock. Persons who wero
able to secure an unobstructed
view of tho heavenly body at
that moment compared its bril
liancy to that of an arc light at
long range.
To many spectators, the object
appeared several times larger
than Venus and much brighter.
It was visible for nearly two
hours, disappearing entirely from
view shortly before 10 o'clock.
Tho. direction of the body soem
ed to bo almost directly south,
veering slightly in its flight from
tho earth.
Tho sky was cloudless, making
it possible to view the body as
long as discernible by tho naked
eye. By reason of its npparont
largo size and unusual brightness,
tho deduction is that it must havo
been traveling nt a terrific speed.
L. Samue, residing at 381

ORH Holloitod,
Judge Will It. King has been
a resident of Eastern Oregon for
nearly forty years. Ho was born
Oct 3 1804, on a farm near Walla
Walla, Wash., removed to Uma
tilla county in 1871 and lived
near Weston until 1878. During
that year ho went to what is now
Malheur County, then a part of
Baker County, which has been
his place of continuous residence.
Judge King attended the Oregon
Agriculture College for three
years, graduated from a law
school in Danville, Indiana, and
began tho practice of law in 1892
in Malheur County. He served
in tho Oregon legislature six
years, two in the IIouso and four
in the Senate, .and was recogniz
ed ns ono of its foremost merti
bors. February 23, 1907, he was
appointed Commissioner of the
Supremo Court and two years
later became Associate Justice,
which ofiico ho now holds, and is
a candidate to succeed himself
for tho six year term.
Judge King's decisions rank
high among tho bench and bar.
In tho celebrated water decision
of Hough v. Porter, written by
him, more than 80 points of law
wero involved and decided, cov
ering 146 pages of the Oregon
Reports. His opinion in that
case is now used by tho Ann
Arbor Law School and recogniz
ed as an authority on water
rights. His knowledge on this
subject as well as his life-long
experience in Eastern Oregon
nnd his familiarity with condi
tions in this part of the State
mako it important that he should
bo retained upon the Bench.
Judge King is endorsed by the
Non-routieai Judiciary move
ment This movement was
authorized by the Oregon Bar
Association and has for its object
the removal of tho judges from
politics and from all political in
fluence and urges that Judge
King, as ono of tho present mem
bers of tho court, he retained.
(In this connection read pages 31
to 34 in pamphlet to be issued by
tho Secretary of State to be sent
to all voters.) George II. Burnett,
who was selected by the Republi
can Assembly, seeks Judge
King's place on political grounds.
Politics does not determine the
qualification of jurors and should
havo no bearing upon tho selec
tion of judges.
Speaking of Judge King the
Portland Daily Journal recently
said:
"Ono of the ablest jurists in
