A WORD FOR THE SUPREME COURT.
No Scandals have ever attached to the Oregon supreme
court,
ttt -Is tran,ked. as the best supreme court on the Pacific
coast.- Jr 4 -
It Is fair.
The people would rather have fair men on the supreme
bench than intelligent crooks.
me memoers or the uregon court are fair and intelligent.
They have many troublesome and tickljsh questions to
decide and have never been eulltv of Dlaviner no itlhs.
, The Oregon supreme court has been guilty of one infirm
ity n nas seen in o upnom popular measures.
p-t!iasiuphel(l the initiative and referendum and the direct
prlmartf-law... ' - .J
In all cases it has reversed circuit judges who decided
against popular reforms,
The most recent case is where the Portland city council
passed an ordinance to tax retail free delivery wagons,
The people took the referendum on that and defeated the
measure.
. The Portland machine wanted the ordinance to become a
law,
. Judge Gantenbein sustained the law and'the attack on the
referendum.
The supreme court upheld t c tight of the people to a vote
on the measure,
The people of Portland at the recent election sustained the
supreme court.
There Is one criticism of the supreme court that' ought
to be made,
Some of then opinions are too long.
It is easier to write long opinions than short ones,
To, bo'l down and condense an opinion requires greater
ability than wearisome manifestations of judicial verbosity,
Of the older judges, Boise, Waldo and Lord wrote short
opinions. .
Judge Thayer was noted for extending his judicial com
ments, Some of their opinions are t to us to take up and discuss
too many fine.ooints,

This Is onlv a minor matter,

SECESSION TALK IN SOUTHERN OREGON.
, Southern Oregon politicians and newspapers talk bitterly
abaut socoding from the rest of the state,
1 With their normal school killed off and their Crater Lake
appropriation assailed In the courts by Salem men, 'they es
pecially condemn this section of the state for all their trou
bles. An eastern Oregon asylum, another Institution at Salem
for incurable consumptives, is too much,
They are especially incensed at Senator Smith on the ways"
and moans committee from Salem for his fight on the little
normals,
Three of them could run fo less than $20,000 a year from
the stato.
While his bill was to establish a hundred thousand dollar
Institution at Portland, whoro it was not wanted,
Tp mako deadly enemies of Umatilla, Polk and Jackson
counties and erect a new stato Institution where it was not
wanted was a brilliant manifestation of Salem hoo politics.
It was also a bad piece of business for a Salem man to
brine suit to enioln tho Crater Lake appropriation,
If that suit had been brought from any other county than
this it would have croated loss animostiy,
But tho poople of Salem do not endorse warfare of the
few remaining specimens of the Salem hoo on other parts
of the state.
Let us all abide the outcome and pray to be delivered from
our onomies,
