CITIZENS oC Portland arc today oxpivssiug at tho
polls their choice for the .mayoralty.
Tho choice lies between .Joseph Simon, present mayor,
former United States senator, one of Oregon's loading
attorneys, for many years a political boss, and Council
man A. 0. Rushliirht, master plumber, a well to do citizen.
hut with very ordinary abilities.
Mr. Simon belongs to the old regime, lie is a stand
patter and a reactionary and has no faith in tho rule of the
people. His training, his sympathies, his tendencies are
all with the "interests." During his term the public cor
porations have been in the saddle.
Mr. Rushlight professes faith in popular government
and his intentions are probably good. J lis course as coun
cilman has not shown him a strong man, not proved his
capacity for leadership, but rather a temporizer. There
is nothing in his career to indicate that he is fitted to be
come tho executive of a great city.
To a disinterested onlooker it seems a choice between
evils. Portland is in the same predicament that many an
other city finds itself in on election day under tho present
system, where belief in a national tariff is a qualification
for administering thy a f fail's of a municipality.

training public orticials. Experts who have made a study
of the business of administering affairs are just as neces
sary in the public corporation as in the private corporation,
more so, in fact.
Let us hope that the day is not far distant when we
elect mayors, not because they are good lawyers, good
plumbers or good hand shakers, but because they know
their business and can "make good."

LUMBER THUS!
PROBE TO START
Landis Issued Strict Injunction to
Grand Jurors Not to Talk to Any
one of What They are Investigation.
, CHICAGO, June 5. United States
District Judgo Landis today empan
eled a special grand Jury to investi
gate the lumber trust and its opera
tions, Unusuai secrecy and consid
erable mystery surrounds the pro
ceedings and every effort was niade,j
to prevent any information leaking
out. The court instructed tho jurors
hat they "must not talk" about tho
case to anyone.
Judge Landis instructed the grand
Jury to investigate whatever United
States District Attorney Sims and As
sistant Attorney General McKcrcber
suggested.
In charging the jurors, the court
said:
"I want to toll you one thing. In
the past the grand jurymen talked.
This must not occur again. Themat
tcrs which you aro to Investigate will
be brought to your attention by the
proper authorities. Under no circum
stances must any member of this
grand jury discuss tho investigation
with anyone or tell what is being In
vestigated." Following this charge to the grand
jury Judge Landis summoned the
newspaper reporters to whom ho said:
t'lf you reporters see anyone talking
to a momber of tho grand Jury the
IT IS a matter of regret that Judge "W. !aL Colvig has
resigned as president of the Commercial club. The
directors should refuse to consider it and insist that he
fill out his term.
Judge Colvig has made an enviable record as execu
tive of thq liveliest and most progressive organization of
its kind in Oregon. His life-long residence in the valley,
his close relations with pioneers, his sympathy with them
and their views, his co-operation with the newer cornel's
and their progressivencss, peculiarly qualified him as a
harnionizer of the two elements.
Medford and the Rogue River valley owe Judge Colvig
much for his earnest efforts in upbuilding city and country,
for his sacrifice of time and his unselfish devotion to pub-
lie welfare. He has alwavs been readv when called upon
and times innumerable has responded when called upon
for the common good.
The Commercial club still needs Judge Colvig 's serv
ices. There is no man as well qualified as he to fill the
position. The club's members should take a more active
interest in the club's affairs, turn out oftener, and by
heart' co-operation back up the officials in the efforts to
better the country.
