IMPORTANT OFFICE.-In the hurly burlv
OF election times voters are prone 70 estimate
the Importance of Offices by the amount they
pay We have an illustration of this in the
case OF the delegate upon whom the main in E
terests c,nters, whilst really the Office is Of
less Importance to the people directly than
that OF town constable. The delegate gets
sooo0 year and perquisites, and hence be
draws the crowd and fills the popular eye.
And so We might % rtr ugh with the list.
and show that the offi:es in all cases are esti-
mated IN proportion a. they pay. This theory
Is by no means correct. Tue proper way is
TO estimate the Office in proportion as it comes
home to the interests Of the people, and tried
by this standard, one of the most important
otic-s to be filled at the November election
Is that of probate judge. l, Is the estimate
OF an able s,a'isncian that every thirty years
all the property in country is administered
upon, and In that way comes under the iur-
lsdIction of probate courts In this world
two things are certain-death and taxation,
and 1T becomes the prudent man TO be pre-
pared for both. Many of the ills Of life can
Re guarded against, but the last dread sum
mons comes TO all men, and hence the impor-
tance OF having courts where the property of
the departed can be wisely administered upon,
and the estate of widows and orphans care
fully guarded. A weak or corrupt probate
Judge can work more harm in a community
than almost all other agencies combined, and
'hus it is that an Office that pays but a til.
fling salary is one of the utmost importance.
Recognizing this fact, tbs people Of Walla
Walla county as early as 1869 elected +.
Guichard to the Office of probate judge, and
with the exception of one interval have con-.
tiuued him in office down to the present time
y man OF clear head and sound Judgment, be
at once applied himself to the stady of pro-
bate law, and has made himself better ac-
qnainted with that branch of legal practice
than any lawyer in the country. This is not
the opinion of the writer alone, but the
opinion II able juriss. Judge Lewis, tie
| ablesi man that ever sat upon the beuch in
Washington territory. before leaving this dis
trct, stated in the presence of the writer that
"Judge Gnichard was the ahlest probate
Judge he had ever known" The gentleman
who Immediately preceded Judge Lewis upon
the bench has frequently made a similar dec
laration. Two years ago the people of this
county rocoSnIzing Judge Guichard 5 fitness
| fer the place unanimously elected him. and
now that bis name is again presented by the
democratic convention, we expect 10 see him
| elected with almost equal unanImity.
