supreme court. A "non-partisan" bench is presumably
the object of the gathering, and as politics cut no ice, a
wide range of candidates is possible.
As only the highest type of man as woll as lawyer is
wanted, the choice, becomes narrowed down to very few.
Indeed, when the field is looked over with a microscope
there seems to be only one man prominent enough to bo
honored as chief justice only one who measures up to
full Gulliveriau stature among the Liliputians of the bar.
The distinguished jurist to whom reference is made is
a resident of the capital city. His view is as broad and
liberal as that of some members of the present supreme
court. Ho believes the state of Oregon was made for Sa
lem's benefit and that those sections so unfortunate as to
be outside of the city limits should be thankful to pay
taxes to support state institutions located there, so that the
Salem hog may continue to root in peace among the money
sacks of the treasury..
Like some of the present supreme bench, this protector
of the public morals also believes that there is one law for
one part of the state and another law for another part. He
consistently opposes progress, and Cicero was never so
eloquent against Cataline as he is against those who would
develop Oregon. Moreover, as adviser to President Taft,
he has purified the moral atmosphere of federal patron
age. - r I si
It is scarcely necessary to name this brilliant luminary
of the law, auy more than it is to bestow a cognomen upon
the luminary of the heavens. So it is with a feeling born
of confidence, of the acceptance of the suggestion that we
place before the lawyers "assembly" for their considera
tion, without demurrer, the name of Oregon's peerless
reformer, whose mind is as pure as Salem city water,
whose record is as clean as the beds in Salem's celebrated
hotels, this cake of Ivory soap (99 41-100 per cent pure)
floating in the dirty dishwater of politics, the Honorable
L. H. McMahan of Salem.

SELF-COMPLACENCY.
AINT IT THE TRUTH?
Some fools there were, aud thoy
played tuoir stack
(Even as j'ou and I),
On a largo white man to defeat a
black
(We called him the man with the
deadly whack!)
But the fools now know lie could
never come back
(Even as you and I).
Oh, tho timo wo spent and the
thoughts wo lent
And the weight of the gold we lack
Belong to tho Jeffries who did not
know
(And now we know that he never
could know)
Ho never could como back.
Somo fools thoro were, and their
goods they spent
(Even as you and I) ;
Eeno and keno tho paco they went
(And it wasn't tho least what they
thought it meant) ;
But a fool must follow his natural
beat
(Eveu as you and I).
Ob, the sleep wo lost and the dough
it cost
And the excellent things we planned
Belong to tho Jeff who could never
como back
(And now we know ho could never
come back) ;
Yes, now we understand.
And it isn't tho shame and it isn't
the blame
That stings like a red-hot tack;
It's coming to know ho never know
why
(Seeing at lust he could nevor know
why)
The deuco ho couldn't come back.

the
highway of life, never feeling the bumps. Conceit forms
an impenetrable armor on which the slings and arrows of
adversity fall harmless. Its proud possessor has the first
qualification for success, it gilts him to look resplendent
while he shouts his own praises to an admiring, unthinking
world.
It is true that some danger lurks in too much self-admiration.
A beautiful youth of the olden time named Nar
cissus is reported to have been so enamored of his own
loveliness as reflected in the placid waters of a pool that he
fell in and was drowned. But even such an untimely fate
has its compensations, for the gods, ever kind to such,
changed Narcissus into a flower. But such a rate is rare.
No pool is ever quite so deep as self-satisfaction.
History is full of examples showing how, by the exer
cise of unlimited conceit, men have made for themselves
a shrine where the uninitiated worship. Even today those
bold enough to proclaim themselves Messiahs have no lack
of dsiciples. The late Cref field and his holv roller cult
showed that nothing is too absurd to command a follow
ing, providing the hero sounds the cymbal and beats the
drum, while brazenly proclaiming his vanity.
Most interesting of the heroes that stalk through the
pages of fiction and drama are those who so loudly bragged
of themselves. There is Falstaff, vain of his courage; and
Pecksniff, proud of his virtue, and many another whose
self-satisfaction makes them as startlingly true to life
today as when they were created in the minds of the mas
ters. Most recent of the heroes of the drama is our friend
"Chanticleer," Rostand's creation, who thinks his early
morning cock-a-doodle-do summons the day and set in
motion all the machinery of the earth. So sure is Chanti
cleer in his conceit that he convinces the barnyard host of
his importance, like many a human rooster who proudly
crows of his achievements, in causing the sun to rise. '
Never mind the copybook precepts; they are for chil
dren. Modesty, dwells, shrinking, in the shadow, while
self-admiration is brass that reflests the glory of the heav
ens. Virtue is ever its own reward, but the world heaps
its riches on the self-laudatory. What though the judicious
grieve? The people like it and the people pay the
freight.
Cnptniu Bob Williams, stationed
with his company on the banks of
lioguo rivor, during tho armistice
was not too bravo and magnanimous
to attempt to kill two children, tho
sons of Chief Joes but Qenural Imnc,
with tho utmost haste, ordered his re
moval from the locality to another,
whoro thoro would bo loss opportun
ity for tho exorcise of his propensi
ties. Wo have tho evidence of no
less an authority than Judge Dendy
to prove that a fearful outrage was
perpetrated at Grave crook after tho
nrmistiuo was agreed upon. Uu
writes: "At Grave crock I stopped to
feed my horso and get something to
eat. Thoro was a houso Uiore called
the Bates house, after tho man who
kept it. It was u rough, wooden
structure without a floor, aud had
an immense clapboard fuuuol nt ono
end, which served us n chimney.
There was no house or settlement
within ten or twelve miles moi of it.
Thcro I found Captain .1. 1C. Lnmcr
iek in command of a company of
volunteers. It scorns he had been
seat there by General Lane after tho
fight at Battlo creek, on account of
tho murdor of some Indians there,
of which ho and others gave tho fol
lowing acceunt:
"Bates and others had induced a
small party of peaceable Indians who
belonged in thnt vicinity to enter into
an engagement to remain at peace
with tho whites during tho war which
was going on at some distance from
them, and by way of ratification to
this treaty, invited them to partake
of a feast in an unoccupied log house
just across the road from the Hates
house, and while thoy were partak
ing, unarmed, of, this proffered hos
pitality the door was suddenly fas
tened upon them and they were de
liberately shot down through the
crncks betweon the logs by their
treacherous hosts. Near by, and
probably n quarter of a mile this side
of the creek, I was shown a largo,
round hole into which tho bodies of
these murdered Indians hod been un
ceremoniously tumbled. 1 did not
see them, for they wero covered with
fresh enrth."
not known that the guilty parties
woro over brought to justice. -Indeed,
thoro is a certain presumption
that they were not.
An incident hearing somewhat up
on this question is worthy of-uneu-tion,
though it occurred somewhat
outside of tho region suppoced to hu
covered by tho Lane treaty. On Jan
uary 'J8, 1851, u small party of arm
ed men from tho Randolph mines, in
Coos county, went to a rnnohorin, at
tacked the Indians and killed 15, as
far as is known, without provocation.
The next day the minors passed a
law providing that whosoever should
sell or give any gun, rifle or pistol
to Indians should, for the first of
fense, receio.lH) lashes, and for tho
second offense should suffer death.
Meeting considerable adverse crit
icism for thoir attack upon the help
less aud unarmed creatures nt the
rauchcria, those men next proceeded
to hold a meeting aud pass resolu
tions, one maintaining that the In
dians at tho time were on the eve of
an outbreak, and another congratu
lating themselves on their bravery!
The whole absurd proceedings aro
contained in a lotter written by one
of the assailants to the Oregon
Statesman of contemporary date,
and in tho report of the bureau ot
Indian affairs for IS.") I, within which
may bo found letters from V. M
Smith, agent nt Port Orford, aud G.
G. Abbott, leader of the attacking
force of miners.
It does not require the thorouc.li
investigation to which the records of
these events havovbcen subjected by
tho writer to determino conclusively
that whilo the whites as a class were
content with tty trenty and obedient
to its provisos, there was a consid
erable minority who lost no opwr
tuuity to manifest their contempt of
the instrument nnd their disregnrd
of its obligations. Nor were the In
dians idle. As soon as the report of
tho killings at Grave creek, at Apple
gate and other places, had been
bruited nbroad, and the natives had
become convinced that thoy wero in
dividually in us much danger as be-
