The Retiring County Officials. Sheriff Rogers having turned the keys of office over to Elmer Montague, is again a private cit izen. He has not yet. decided what he will do in the future, but at present is with his mother atCorvallis. It is probably with in the bounds of truth to say that Gilliam County never had a sheriff who combined fitness with popularity to a - greater extent than Ray Rogers. We have had some good sheriffs too. Johnson filled this difficult office with high credit, and Sanderson was an especially good official. But some way Rogers seemed to 3uit more people and to discharge his official duties in a more satisfact ory manner. He took great in terest in his wt-rk. He has been courtesy itself yet firm in the discharge of his duty. We do not doubt but what if he had ask ed for the office again he could have had it without an effort. The democrats could scarcely have afforded to refuse the nom ination and no republican could have run within forty rod3 of him. In retiring from office Mr. Rogers will have the hearty good will of all Gilliam County and wish that health and prosperity may attend him all his days. Another official who retired from office the first of the year is County Judge Dunn. At the time Mr. Dunn announced his in tention of declining renomina tion, the Globe, as a public or gan, thanked him for his untiring efforts in behalf of the welfare of Gilliam county during the past eight years. At the same time we gave a report of the condi tion of the affairs of the ct-unty at the beginning of his term of office and also of their condition at the time he declined renomin ation; which report reflected un limited credit upon the official guidance of Mr. Dunn. Further comment is unnecessary at this rime sufficient to say that Mr. Dunn is deserving of unstinted thanks from every taxpayer in Gilliam County. From the timi of his appoint ment by the County Court to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of B. T. Snell, C. C. Clark of Arlington has served the citizens of Gilliam County in a manner that is worthy of commendation, and he will be remembered as one who looked to the interests of the many rather than the interests of the few. , Ninety-five cities in this coun try are now reported as having adopted the commission form of government. There may be some in which it has not given satisfaction, though as yet we have heard of no such instance. On the whole it certainly approxi mates the ideal method. No method springs perfect from the devisor's brain, but must pas3 the ordeal of application to reveal its weak points as well as its strong ones. But the experi ments thus far vindicate tbe plan as excelling at every point any and all methods heretofore em ployed for the government of municipality. Montana, the home of Clark, and Daley and Thomas H. Cart er, is now to join the ranks of the progressive and follow the nolitical lead of Oregon. Gov ernor Norris has sent a message to the Montana Legislature in "Oregon Plan" for electing United States Senators. If half the reports published about the political history of Montana are true, then it is time that state started a reform movement by Adopting progressive systems of Government, whereby the people can speak for themselves. The merchant who does not advertise is either ashamed of his wares or ashamed of himself. In either case it is well for tue buying public to leave him alone: At a meeting of the County Court of Wheeler County this month P. P. Tetty was declared a county charge, says the Journ al, and was authorized to take a bath and have hi3 hair cut. Some generosity to that. We might call attention to one fact that the regular readers of THE GLOBE ore well aware of, but newcomers may not have no-ticed-you will never find in these columns any patent medicine ads, unless, perchance, some of our home druggists put up standard preparations, the ingredients of which are no secret and are not harmful. Such headlines as "Asleep at the switch," "Died in the night," An awful death," and such like cheering inform ation are never found in these columns never were, never will be. And ve say it with a good deal of pride, particularly when we see some of our contemporar ies using these ads to fill up their editorial space. Oregon found a brick in its Christmas stocking when the reclamation apportionment was announced, giving this state but ?925,000 to carry on uncompleted irrigation projects cut of the appropriation of $20,000,000, despite the large contribution of Oregon to the reclamation fund The Oregon Development League and Portland Commercial Club have taken joint action to secure are-apportionment, so that this state may secure its just share to continue reclamation work. This is the season of the year when our farmer friends have the spare time to discuss, thru these columns any and all mat ters that concern the rural pop ulation. Why not take a hand in such discussions and utilize to the advantage of the farming class the free space allotted to you in the Globe without money and without price. The farmers of Gilliam county are intelligent and are just as capable of hand ling questions that concern agri culture as our city people are to discuss social, moral, political and municipal questions. Take a try at it anyway and help to advance the material prosperity of the field and farm section of the county.
