SUPREME COURT RESPONSIBLE FOR TANGLE
' A close examination of the decision of the supreme
coure of the United States in the forfeiture of the Oregon
and California land grant cases impels one to the belief
that that august body went as far as it could to avoid
AoouUrw nnvthinn- whatever. It unwound more red tape
and uncanned less sound common sense than was ever
done in any case ever before it. It practically decided
nothing, and all it did do was to still further entangle the
situation. It decided the lands were a gift in praesenti,
and that the railroad company had a title in fee simple
with strings on it. It decided that congress had given the
company these lands as an aid in constructing its road
and provided that it must sell the lands, at not more than
$2.50 an acre and in quantities of not more than 1G0 acres
to any individual. Then it unrolled its red tape and said
that while the company was compelled to sell the lands
under the terms stated, it did not have to sell them until
it got ready, which means that if it never got ready it
would not have to sell them at all.
And after declaring the lands belonged to the railroad
and could not be taken away from it, these same wise ones
held that the whole matter should be handed back to
congress and that that body could do what it pleased with
the lands. If the lands belonged to the railroad in fee sim
ple as the courts said they did, then congress with all its
powers is not big enough or strong enough to take them
from the company without condemning them and paying
what they are worth. .
In the light of that decision, if Brandeis is all his
enemies claim he is, he might still be an improvement on
the court. All he has been accused of is taking the op
posite side of a case after having been employed on the
other. In the land grant case the United States supreme
court took both sides at once and decided in favor of
both and of neither.
If the railroads complied with the terms of the grant
the lands are theirs. If they did not, by what reasoning
can even so august a body as the United States supreme
court confirm title in them?
Yet this is what it does. It holds the gift was made
absolutely but with conditions subsequent with which it
says the company need not comply.
Senator Cummins' principal objection to Brandeis as a
justice of the supreme court is, that while he was em
ployed to represent the shippers side of the rate case by
the interstate commerce commission, he admitted that the
railroads should have more revenue "thus strengthening
the railroads, and weakening the shippers' case." Mr.
Brandeis was not employed by the shippers, in that case
but by the commission. He was the commission's attor
ney not the shippers lawyer, and to certain questions
asked him bv the commission he frankly replied as the
truth compelled, gave his client, the advice it sought,
and made truthful answer. What other answer could he
make to the commission that employed him when asked
a direct question? Or if the question was not asked
directly would he have had him withhold from the com
mission things he as its attorney believed it should know?
' The Oregonian discussing the naming of Rublee for
the federal trade commission by President Wilson says
among other things, "If Gallinger who fought Rublee be
cause he is personally obnoxious was wrong, what about
Chamberlain of Oregon who stood with Gallinger?" The
answer is dead easy. Chamberlain was just as wrong in
this case as was Gallinger, and in most other cases prob
ably more so. Our George is not always right just because
he is, or claims to be a democrat. The above statement
is respectfully referred to the editor of the Oregon City
Enterprise.
Biologist Finley advocates the killing of all cats be
cause some of them kill birds. Of course Finley is justi
fiable in this because birds are his meal ticket. The same
thing might be said for the cats.
The supreme court just now is causing both the old
parties no little worry. The republicans want to get a
man off the bench and the democrats want to get one on.
LINING UP IN BATTLE ARRAY
The big republican pre-convention show, opens at
Chicago today. Chairman Charles D. Hillis of the Na
tional central committee arrived today from New York,
his secretary beating him to the scene of their coming
work by a day. John D. VV right, who has charge of the
Root campaign also arrived today and at once got busy
opening head quarters for his candidate, New York's fav
orite son. Senator Week's managers are also on the way,
and the Fairbanks boosters are already on the ground and
arranging for the big battle.
"It is going to be the most enthusiastic convention ever
held in the history of the party," said John Eversham,
secretary of the republican congressional committee, add
ing, "when the whole matter has been talked over the
delegates will just tear the roof off with enthusiasm."
There is a consensus of opinion that there is to be open
and bitter war between the Hughes and Roosevelt fac
tions, each being, as one expressed it, "determined to eat
each other up."
It seems the vote in Oregon so overwhelmingly for
I Hughes, has caused the efforts of the Roosevelt faction
to tie concentrated against mm. iney recognize in
Hughes the man most to be feared, and will concentrate
their fire on his camp. They feel that with Hughes out
of the way it will be easy running for the Colonel. This
means their first attack will be for the purpose of get
ting him out of the Colonel's way. It also means that the
Hughes backers will know they have been in a fight and
this before it is over.
It is only twelve days until the spectacular battle be
gins. And while it may soon be over, it looks at this time
as though it might be the start of a political Verdun. Any
way, from now until the selection is made, Chicago will
be the center of the world so far at least as the politicians
are concerned.

Dr. Waite yesterday testifying in his own behalf, told
of his weaknesses and criminal instincts when a boy ad
mitting that he cheated at school examinations and was a
thief. The defense is undertaking to show by this that his
craze for money was responsible for his poisoning Peck,
in order to get his millions. Just how this can help
Waite, it is difficult to see, for that is just what he is
charged with doing. . The fact that he was an "ornery"
boy is not sufficient to excuse him for being a criminal as
a man.
The California strawberry shippers could easily sell
twice as many berries without using any more boxes by
the simple expedient of turning the boxes over and filling
the swindle of the lower two thirds of them instead of
using the berries as a sort of frosting for the containers.
The sealer of weights and measures has a fine large field
open for the display of his energies and the prevention of
some hundreds of thousands of cases of petty larceny by
the dishonest Californians.
The statement that Von Buelow, Germany's ablest
statesman, is to be appointed ambassador to the United
States indicates that Germany is quite willing to listen to
peace proposals. It also indicates that in spite of the
harsh criticisms of the German press, that in the supreme
moment when the final settlement comes, Germany will
turn to the United States and President Wilson as her
best and most dependable friends.
The Oregonian says: "A justice of the supreme court
should never get on the bench by a strict party vote." If
this is correct, by the rule of "e converso," no justice of
the supreme court should ever get off the bench by a
strict party vote. This leaves Brandeis and Hughes in the
same boat.
Portland is cheerful over the present weather realizing

GLORY -OF WAR
The war is aging; it has been raging for nearly two long
years; and what's the showing? An endless flowing of
human blood and tears. Oh, tell the story of martial
glory to captains of marines ! Go forth and
wander, m Europe yonder, and see what
glory means' Go count the legions, in
those red regions, of men whom war made
blind, in blackness groping, and done with
hoping for light they'll never find. Behold
the shattered and torn and battered remains
of once strong men, who looked for glory in
meadows gory, and ne'er shall walk again.
The war is sending its cripples wending
back to their ruined farms ,to beg, to bor
row, to mourn, in sorrow, their missine lees
and arms. This is the glory of which the hoary old harpers
like to cnant; out it s more cnarnung to stay home farm
ing, and rear the cabbage plant.

Feople who aro over-burdened with
superfluous fat, know only too well the
discomfort and ridicult that over-stout
people have to bear.
If you are carrying iround five or
ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are
unnecessarily weakening your vital or
gans and are carrying a burden which
destroys the beauty oi your figure.
There is no need of anyone suffering
from superfluous fat. If you want to
reduce your weight in a simple, se
and reliable way, without starvation
diet or tiresome exercise, here is a test
worth trying. Spend as much time as
you can in the open air, breathe deep
ly and get from any good druggist a
box of oil of korein capsules; take one
after etch meal and one before retiring
at night.
Weigh vourself once a week so as to
kuow just how fast you are losing
weight and don t leave otf the treat
ment or even skip a single does until
you are down to normal.
Oil or korein is absolutely harmless,
is pleasant to take, and helps digestion.
Even i few days treatment has been
reported to show a noticeable reduction
ia weight, footsteps become lighter,
your work seem easier and a lighter and
more buoyant feeling takes possession
of your whole being.
Kvery person who suffers from super
fluous fat should give this treatment
a trial,
