The 0choaO Rsvia0 still psraisls in
casting suspicion upon Gov. Moody and
Secretary Of State Earhart 10 connsc,
tion With the matilation Of Senate
Joint Memorial No. 9. Il appears
from the Statesman that the copy on
Gle in the Secretary Of States otEics
bears the genuine signatures Of the
Speaker Of the House and the President
Of the Senate, and that said copy ID
neither mutilated nor has il any erase
ures or interlinsatiOnS. This shows
that the change or mutilation was made
bsfore il reached the Secretary OF States
office, or, il made aftsrward, then the
Speaker Of tha House and President OF
the Senate must have been in colusion
with the scoundrsl who made it. This
We dc not believe. We see nothing %
far In che Revies0's case that would
justify the belief that the memorial
was tampsred with in the Secretary
office. AS tho memorial does not g
10 the Governor or his Office at all, ",
see no justification at all for the fuspi-
cion cast upon him. But il is evident
that some scoundrel has been tamperinG
With the memorial, and il is to the in.
terest Of all concerned that his nam,
ahould be exposed.

CORVALLIS, MAfoh lst, 1906
Efs. Democrat.
The 18th Vol. of the reports Of the
Supreme Courl of this state las besA
received by the legal fraternity.
II IL we'll printed and bcund, and the
reporters work seems 20 have been
well done. II contains b8l pages and
Ia II are reported, according TO my
count, sevsnty-six cases.
BY . caaual sennt find that eighty
Eve opinions were delivered IN the cases
reported ia this volume. For the pur-
pose Of aacsrtaining how many opinions
each Of the Judges delivered, / made =
hassy count aud may have miGasd some,
but my count il substantially correct.
To two cases the report does not show
who delivered the opinions, and presam-
ably they were prepared by the reporter
under tke direction Of tie count.
According TO ny 6gures Thayer wrote
forty-ons, Lord thilsy-two, and Waldo
ten opinions. This is bad showing
for Judge Waldo and, although have
net made an accurata cennt of the opin.
ions deliyered during the ak years he
has been on the bench, i think II Il safe
to say that be has IT every term fallen
far below bis associates In tho nHmheI
Of opinions written. Why is this !
Was the objection made to him six
years ago we'll taken, to.wit, that BY
reason Of bis inexperisnee In the prac.
tice he was incompetent
II may be urged in bis behalf that h
is hard worker. This may 10 true
The same might be said Of IN ordinary

The breach between the Senate and
President, which for some time has
b1on hanging fre, has widened out
into an open conflict. The Senate.
or the Republican, part Of II, has been
trying to compel the President 70
transmit all papers, either Of public
or private nature In the various de-
partments, touching upon the subject
or removals and suspensions from
Office, and also the reasons for max
ING such removals and suspensions.
The President has bourne, with much
patience, these unseemly and rovolu-
tlonary attacks upon his preregatlve,
until at last he was compelled 10 give
the Senate, or the Republican part Of
1t, an executive rap over the head,
which no did In the shape OF 0 mes
sage to that body. The message Il
entirely too long for ps to publish,
but It's tone, strength and Import may
be- gathered from few extracts
which We give below:
"WhIle, therefore. / AN constrain'
ed to deny the right of the Senate q
the papers and documents described
so far as their right to the same L
based upon the claim that they are
In any View Of the subject Official,
am also led unequlvocally to dispute
the right OF the Senate, by aid OF ary
documents whatever, or In any way
save through the judicial process o
trial on Impeachment, to review o.
revise any act Of the executive IL
suspensions during tho recess Of th'
Senate"
"There are no grounds tor the al
legation that fear Of being found falls
to my professions influence me Il
declining 10 submit TO the demand
Of the Senate. / have not censtautl.
refused 10 suspend officials, and thu
incurred the displsasure OF polltIca
friends, and yet willfully broken fAiIl
with the people for the sake Of being
false 10 them. Neither the dlscon
tent OF party friends, nor allurement
constantly offered OF combinations 0
appointees, conditioned upon anavow
al that suspensions have been made
on party grounds alone, nor the thraa
proposed1n the resolutions now bef0r
the Senate that TO conarmatlons viii
be made unless the demands OF tina
body be complied with, are sutiicieu
to discourage or deter me from fol
lowing Ia the way, which I am coz
vinced leads to better governmen
for the people"
These two extracts alone show th
wisdom Of q Calhoun, and the feal
Iessness and iron will Of a Jackson
We rise to remark that the Senate q
the Republican part Of II, will find
unsafe 10 monkey with a buzz saw.
