There ought to bo no trouble in getting it stocked." Now, you look horo, Brother Jojikinsl Wo are not going to jump in and kick about this assertion, because you may not have meant to con voy the idea that the location of that perfume distilling farm was the main reason for your optimistic opinion of its being stocked so eusily, but we havo our doubts. A rather poppory judgo down In Arkansas, who hud graduated from the printer's case, taken up the ignoble calling of tlio law and finally reached the bonch from the bar, like lots of othors in wot torritory, getting vexed at a stut tering attorney, colunteered the statement that Bald uttorney was a fool. The attorney, in attempting to change tho judge 's opinion, got back with: "I am n-n n ot 10 b-b-b lg a d-d d f f-ool as yy-y-cur honor t t-t okes mo to be." "All right, Mr. Jonkins, all right," laughed the judgo, "but horeafter you take tho court's advice and thin-space your language." A SALEM MAN IF SALEM should adopt the commission form of government at any timo, it would be eminently proper to soloct a mnnngor from boiiio other city, prof orably La Grande, which honored Salem by selecting I manager from among her citizens. It is in other respects tho bent thing to do for the reason that the munnger begins his work with no factious against him. Take any man for instance, from Salem, and put him in as commissioner, may or, manager, or whatever tho title may bo, of this city, and he would begin his work with all kinds of opposition. This would bo especially true of any man who, lilio Mr. Lufky, had held tho office of councilman, for ho would have necessarily antagonized boiiio, and would have an unfriendly element to contend with from tho Blurt Mr. Lafky goes to his work in La Grando with out this handicap, and tho entire community will be pleased to hear that ho has given La Grande an administration that will be cminontly satisfactory to thorn. In tho meanwhile wo will all keop an oyo on La Grande, if for no other reason, just! to see what a Salem man can do when ho gets a froo hand and a chance to carry out his ideas. THE LAW or PARADOX ' DIS0US3ED BY THE FHA By Elbert Uubhard.

When a court from training or habit itinera himself agnlnst the people the remedy la to exchange him for another tliid at the ballot, box, That la the way we socialists expect to get our eourt rulings. When we elivt a president he will fill the vacancies on the federal court with socialists, not to disregard the law, but to Interpret It according to socialism.
