In the threo races made by Judge

tinction In Oregon politics.
Klecteil Pnwcuting Attorney
Prior to his election to tho circuit
bench Judgo Benson was twico
elected prosecuting attorney ot tho
district composed ot Jackson, Dou
glas, Klamath and Lake counties. He
was a member of tho celebrated
"hold-up" legislature of 1SD7 and
was elected speaker of tho rump or
Mitchell house.
He has always been an active re
publican In politics, and is ono ot the
leaders of that party, his advice aud
counsel being sought by party asso
ciates when the battle was fiercest,
and tho outcome doubtful.
Judr,o Benson's record In tho su
premo court on appealed cases is ono
ot tho best among tho circuit Judges
of tho state. He has been reversed
on an average less than once a year
during his 12 year's scrvlco on the
circuit bench.
Jtrotlicr of (Sovrrnor
Judgo Benson is 59 years old. Ho

a resident of Oregon for tho last 33
years. Jlis father, a Methodist
preacher was editor ot the Pacific

tices of this stato will explro Jan
uary 1, 1913. Theso are Chief Jus
tices Bean, Mc.Vary, and Ilatnsey.
Judgo. Benson Is a candidate for one
of theso vacancies.
SEVERAL residoilte of tho' valloylmtfo tVt mi excellent
example in advertising the enmnumity by writing let"
tprs to the newspapers of their former home towns in the
east, which nre descriptive of Mod ford and the Hogue
ttiver valley.
Such letters are the most valuable advertising any
community ean receive. They are in effect an appeal from
a former fellow-townsman nnd neighbor and carry a con
viction that all the printed literature in the world cannot
create.
Over half, perhaps two-thirds of the valley's popula
tion came from various sections of the east. If everyone
of these former easterners would write to his home paper,
telling of the valley, its climate, its resources, its possi
bilities and opportunities, he will do more to advertise
this region than the Commercial club.
Every letter sent to the home newspaper will be
printed, because of the news it contains of former resi
dents. As each of the pa pel's have a circulation of from
several hundred to as many thousand, the publicity thus
secured is immeasurable and invaluable.
Every person in the valley should make it his business
to write at once to the newspapers of his home town, em
phasizing the fact that tickets should be bought in 11)15
via Oregon with Mcdtord stop-over. Data or assistance in
preparing such ;i letter will be furnished by the C onuuer
cial club secretary.
In addition, school children all over the valley should
write to school children in the storm and blizzard-swept
east, telling them what fine weather we are enjoying and
inviting them to stop over in Bedford in 1915.
TEACHING SEX HYGIENE
ACOMMUNICATN1N protesting against the teaching
of sex hygiene in schools has been consigned to the
waste basket because unsigned. No anonymous communi
cation will receive consideration from any newspaper.
It is high time that sex hvgiene be taught in the schools
because of the failure of parents to teach it. Children
grow up in ignorance of the truths of life or with distorted
ideas of the truth, and irreparable harm results.
It is a false modestv that is shocked bv the discussion
of the vital principles of life, or that keeps youth from
learning what it is essential should be known, no matter
what career is followed.
It is largely due to ignorance of sex hygiene that the
astounding immoral conditions which investigations have
occasionally disclosed among schools in various sections
of the country, exist. As in other evils due to ignorance,
the reined v is education.
