PLEASE HELP THE JUDGES.
Lii an address delivered before the
American Bar Association yesterday,
Kx-I'residenl Win. II. Taft went on
record as being strongly opposed tq
the idea of electing judges and urged
that they be appointed for life.
The Democrat fails to see wherein
any honest candidate for the bench
needs to fear the will of the majority
as expressed at the polls. We fail tr
agree with the cx-president in the
assertion that the judiciary has lost
much of its influence and that the
intellectual standard of the men oi
the bench is lower since 'the system
of appointment has given way to thai
of making the selection at a genera-!
flection. We do not believe that any
candidate for the office of judge loser
caste by seeking the nomination for a
udicial office at the primaries.
You can't make an intellectual
giant out of a pigmy by merely nam
ing him for a judicial office, and you
can't make a saint out of a rogue by
the same process.
A proper respect for the courts is
essential. The position of judge is
an honorable one and fortunate is the
lawyer who is given this distinction.
However, many forget that it is the
man and not the office that is cither
deserving or fails to merit the respect
of the public. A talented and honor
able judge is a credit to the bench
An incompetent or dishonorable man
ii n disgrace to the legal profession.
The former invariably finds the peo
ple respectful and the latter lias no
cause to complain if they are not.
There is nothing divine about a mi!
merely because he has been elevated
to the bench. He is still a human tie
iug, made of the same stuff and eat
ing -the same food as the men who
assisted him in attaining his nnibi
lion. The wings seldom begin to
sprout from the shoulders of .1 jiitti'e
before he has passed on to eternity
and as far as we have been able to
ascertain he has received no commis
sion from his creator making him any
better than his fellow man.
Every few weeks some di.-c:p:e of
lite old order of things goes about
the country shedding tear because
of the deplorable condition of the
four: a a result of the iitw, ,.i:ui
tllll.i .J'tllo by ticsc ,v ).-.!iy n -ntli
men m facing a primary and general
election. To hear them talk one
would suppose that they were com
pelled to take in washing for a liveli
hood. Still there appears to be no
shortage in the supply of candidates.
Think of it, readers, a judge actually
being compelled to ask the people
for his commission of office. In the
old days he asked the railroad presi
dent and got it without any tpiestion.
The hiiiiiiliaiion of facing a primary
election is truly terrible to the mind
of the veteran jurist.
A PREDICTION.
Notwithstanding I h e persistent
campaign ul' misrepresentation con
ducted against Irtuvrimr West by
his political opponents, the Demo
crat pi edict hi re-nomiiutiou and
election. Moi cm vr, many ot tho-e
who h.ivr been keeping bright the
fire of opposition to Ins policies will
he placed in a position where ihey
will he compelled lo acknowledge
West as llie Moses (o lead the huMs
of eoiiscrati-m from the flaming
forests ol single lax a lion. Strange
as this may .eein. W. S. lTren of
Oregon City and the policies which
have made him a national character,
wilt play an all powerful part in the
political drama winch will be staged
in Oregon next year.
Uirn is .in avowed candidate for
the Republican nomination fuf gov
ernor. He will have the backing of
a man who U both able and willing
to edit the overdraft department of
his campaign and may therefore be
depended upon to make a fight such as
this state has not seen in many a
moon. In addition to the active or
iSTiive support of men who are well
known in the Republican politics of
the state, he will have a strong back
ing from tl'.c labor unions, social
ists and single-taxers. Those who
have found pleasure in persuading
themselves that L'ren will not be a
factor in the next campaign will have
an opportunity to change their mind
for the single tax evangelist from
Oregon City will be much in evi
dence and bids fair to keep the or
ganization guessing from the time
the first shot is fired until the awful
news of his nomination is conveyed
to the anxious but misguided leaders
of the Republican party.
The nomination of Urcn means an
open stampede of conservative Re
publicans to the man who has the
best chance of defeating the single
taxer at the polls. That man is West
and the wise ones in the Republican
organization concede it.
Should Urcn receive the Republi
can nomination, or after failing in the
primaries, proclaim himself an inde
pendent candidate, the Democrat be
lieves that the Oregonian and other
strong party papers will find much
to commend in the administration of
Governor West. Stranger things
have happened in Oregon politics,
and the next campaign promises to
produce some extraordinary situa
tions. PERSONAL AND NEWS

)S
TRAIN RUN OVER A
HORSE NEAR HARRISBURG
An evening Oregon Electric train
enroute from Portland to Eugene,
was delayed nearly three quarters of
an hour, after it ran over a horse that
had fallen through the trestle near
Harrisburg Tuesday night.
Passengers expressed themselves as
surprised that the train was not
thrown from the track and over the
trestle. The horse had wandered on
to the long trestle that is the ap
proach to the Harrisburg bridge over
the YVKlIamette. Its feet slipped on
the wet ties and all four legs dropped
down between lcavincr the animal
stretched helpless across the track.
The train a few minutes later hit the
animal square in the shoulders, cut
thfg it open and throwing the horse
to the side of the track where the
conductor later shot him.
Motor Runs Gasoline Engine. Of
tentimes when a gasoline engine
breaks down people fix it, but the ce
ment contractor on the Barnard build
ing that is being erected at the cor
nr of Oak street and Ninth avenue,
west, has a novel plan to make a gas
oline engine run whether it wants to
or not. Yesterday the gas engine
that runs the concrete mixer broke
down and as the work could not be
delayed the contractor connected up
a powerful electrical motor to the
engine and as he did not want to
change the pulleys to get the righ
spced he simply put the right sized
pulley on the off side of the gaso
line engine, threw on the drive belt
of the motor and turned on the
"juice." Eugene Guard.

BUNAWAT BOY ANO
GIRL ARRESTED
Melvin Peebler and Girl Com
panion Taken in Custody by
Deputy Sheriff Slavins.
BEING BROUGHT HERE TO
FACE GRAVE CHARGES
Claimed They Stole 2 Horses,
Buggy and Saddle; Were on
Way to Eastern Oregon.
Arrested this morning by Deputy
Sheriff H. R. Slavins at Sweet Home
upon telephone instructions from
Sheriff Bodine, Melvin Peebier, age
15, of Albany, and a 15 year oid girl
by the name of Morgan, whose home
is in North Albany, the principals of
a remarkable escapade, are being
brought here to face grave charges.
They are alleged to have stolen a
horse and buggy from the Albany
Stables and another horse and saddle
from two farmers living 3 miies east
of here.
WheJi arrested it is understood that
they were making for the other side
j oi cue mountains on uorae uuck, sup
posedly tor renuieton. xne Duggy
had been left at Waterloo. It is said
that the girl was dressed in boys
clothing when the arrest was made.
The arrest was made this morning
as the two were passing through
bweet Home on horseback. Deputy
Sheriff Slavins immediately notified
Sherift Bodine, who instructed him to
bring the prisoners here. Deputy
Sheriff Slavins is now on the road
with his young prisoners and is ex-
I pecceu to arrive nere bonicumc eany
I this evening. He is bringing both
of the horses and the rig. Gould ot
the Albany stables sent Al AlcAlis
ter, a hostler with another rig this
morning to assist the deputy sheriff
to Albany. According to the infor
mation received over the telephone,
young Peebler takes his arrest calmly
but the girl is resentful and has given
the officer much trouble.
According to the story told at the
Albany Stables, the youth applied
there Wednesday night about 6
o'clock for a rig, stating that he would
only be gone tor about an hour. In
the meantime, according to another,
story told, the girl had walked over
from her home in North Albany and
going to the St. Francis hotel went
to her sister's room, where it is
claimed she changed her clothes
which were wet from wading through
wet fields, for some of her sister's,
while the latter, who is a waitress
in the dining room, was discharging
her duties there.
It is claimed she then joined Pee
bler who was awaiting her in a rig
at the corner of Ferry and Second
streets.
According to the information ob
tained at the sheriff's office this morn
ing, the two stopped at the tarm of
John Jacobs three miles East of here,
and evidently under cover of dark
ness, the lad entered the barn and
took out a gray mare. It is said
young Peebler was thoroughly famil
iar with the place, having been cm
ployed there by Mr. Jacobs. It is
alleged that they then proceeded up
the road a mile to T. C. Wallers place
