be too Talleyrandish-when they thought
he should have thrown Off mis- habitual
reserve and talked out in meeting" It
was this excess Of circumspection which
gave his enemies, long ago, the oppor-
tunity to criticise him as a rank pro-
tectionist. gold standard" man, and
Republican in disguise"
His Attitude on vital Issues.
But to the inner circle of Mr.. Germans
friends his convictions upon national is
sues have never been shrouded in OBJ
scurity, nor are they now. To these, for
instance. 1t was very we'll known that
while he loyalty supported Mr.. Bryan in
1896 and in 1900, he did so because he
is an Organization Democrat" and not
because he approved the free silver the
cry contained in the platform. He be-
lieved, as many other Democrats believed.
that this platform embodied planks more
vital to the prosperity and glory of the
American Republic than that which re-
lated to the currency.
Quite naturally, Mr.. German looks upon
the present as an inopportune and pre-
mature time for any formal statement as
to his attitude on public issues. as he is
as yet only a Senate elect and some
time must elapse before he can qualify
as member of the upper house. But
there is no difficulty in accurately stat
ing what his position is and will con-
tinue to be.
AS to the money question, he has al
ways been a binetallist along rational
lines; but, with many other Democratic
leaders. he believes that the question, by
the overproduction OF gold in various
quarters. has largely settled itself.
He is firmly opposed to ship subsidies.
He believes in such protection as will
foster home industries without doing
damage to other material home interests.
He favors reciprocity treaties the
terms whereof will be advantageous tc
the producers of the United States.
He favOrs the most humane and enlight-
ened policy toward the Philippine Islands,
such as will guarantee to the inhabitants
all the blessings of free government.
He believes in the maintenance OF
navy sufficiently strong to adequately
protect the commerce Of the United
States, now rapidly widening into every
sea.
Gorman's superb VigOr.
Senator elect German is in his sixty
third year. He is at the zenith Of his
intellectual power and he has the physi-
cal vigor of a man of forty. These su-
perb conditions are undoubtedly due to
temperate habits rigidly observed since
early boyhood. Mr.. German neither
drinks nor smokes, and his entire man
ner OF living is regulated along lines OF
rational selfrestraint. No eminent Amer
lean has exhibited more equipoise or con-
servatism than he, either in private or
public life. A. b. C.

IS COMPETENCY At PAR?

The TIMES recently said that
Sheriff Burnett had conducted his
Office without employing regular
deputy, and that because he was
competent to do this, and because
he had conducted the office econ
omical1y and perfectly, that he
ought to be elected to the Office
for second term. Mr. Woodcock' S
Gazette disputes this and says Mr.
Burnett ought not to be eected. Is
that not strange position to take?
Is it proper to turn down a man
because he has been an efficient
officer? Is there no longer a pre-
MUM On competency?
But Mr. Burnett is not only a
competent but very economical
officer. He is in addition an ex-
ce11ent detective. He has unusual
talent in the latter particular. His
recent recovery without a dollars
expense to the owner, of a bicycle
that was stolen and carried off to
remote corner of K1ickitat county,
Washington, is a matter of public
record. The promptness with
which, two or three months ago, he
detected the guilty party and res
tored to the owner valuable piece
of jewelry taken from a local es-
tab1ishment, is bit of detective
work to admire and reward, and is
likewise matter of public record.
To discover criminals and restore
stolen property is an important
duty that devolves on the sheriff.
Mr. Burnett, as the results and
records show is unusually compe-
tent for the office for which
he is candidate. Does Mr.
Woodcock' paper claim that be-
cause Of this competency in this
particular Mr. Burnett ought to be
turned down?
The new tax law is so comp1i-
Gated that for the sheriff office,
quick, active, and accurate man is
essential. Unless the man elected
has the qualifications, the employ
ment of an expensive deputy will
be necessary. Even with him, errors
will be possible, and errors are al
ways expensive to taxpayers. Mr.
Burnett has demonstrated that he
is fully competent to do the work
alone, even under this new tax
law. Will Mr. Woodcock's paper
still urge that because of this com-
potency, Mr. Burnett ought to be
turned down?

EXPERIMENT,-0R N0T2

During the next four years $3.50,
900 to $500, 900 in taxes will be col
1ected from the people of Benton
county, and be paid out on various
accounts. The management of this
large sum of public money will CHI
efly devo1ve on the county Judge
Is a year at law, nine months at
banking, two years and eight mon
tbs residence in Benton county, a
knowledge of latin and skill in play
acting sufficient experience in life,
for the man, who without giving a
dollar of bonds is to manage this
large sum of money?
During that same four years, it is
probable that in the natural course
of things, many persons now living
in Benton county will fall before
the Grim Reaper, and their estates
come UP for administration in the
probate court. Ought not the man
who is to care for these inheritan-
ces, without giving bonds, be some
thing more than a temporary sou-
journer, likely to go away at any
time" as Mr. Woodson recently said
of himself when asked to identify
himself with a certain organization
in Corvallis. Ought not thecounty
judge be fixed, substantial, stable
man with a clear head and clearly
defined ideas onroads, bridges, assess
ments, finances and other county
affairs? Can people afford to exper-
iment when quarter of a million
dollars is involved?

KNOWS HIS. BUSINESS,

Benton county ought to have a
good surveyor. A law enacted by
the last legislature at the instiga-
ton of the surveyors now in Office
increases the pay of the Office and
makes it sufficient to justify a ca
pable man to serve. Thomas Jones
is such a man. He has had five
years experience in actual railroad
work. In railroad construction
they have surveying down to fine
point. A man there, must know
his BUSH ess, or he cannot hold his
place. That, together with fine
education On the subject in college,
is where Thomas Jones got his
training as surveyor. Men never
become better qualified for the de-
tails of county surveying than is
Mr.. Jones. Mr.. Jones has been for
years in the Graham & Wells drug
store, but for reasons of health de-
sires outside work, and is an active
candidate for the place.

THE BALLOTS READY Y
For the Approaching State Election
Many Names to Select From.

The official and sample ballots
for the approaching state election
are in the hands of the county
clerk. Five days before the ell
ection that officer will turn them
over to the sheriff to be distributed
in the various precincts of the
county.
The ballot this year is a large
one. For some of the precincts
it contains the names of 7S candi-
dates. The size of the official bal
lot, which is printed on white pa
per is nine and a half by 2o inch
es. The sample ballot is on green
paper, and is nine by "a inches.
A popularity of the ballot this
year is that the margins Of all of
them do not conform. On some
of them, for instance, the margin
on one side is perhaps quarter of
an inch and on the other side pos
sib1y an inch and a quarter. The
irregu1arity makes an ugly looking
job, and is destined to give the i'm
preston that the printers were
drunk when the work was done.
As however, the tickets are print
ed in conformity with the law.
it really becomes question of
whether or not the legislators were
all drunk when the law was made.
The law says
Tn printing the white ballots,
the printer shall, every 100 sheets
shift either the paper guide or the
forms so that there will be a diff
ference of not less than twelve
points nor more than II points, or
about one inch in the margin of the
white ballots between the different
hundreds of white sheets. I"
It is supposed that there is some
reason for the requirement, but it
is difficult one to discover.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE
Good Company Coming for Week s
Engagement.

The following notice is taken
from the Eugene Register. This
company will open a weeks
engagement at the Opera House
Monday May 10th.
Standing room only greeted the
tardy amusement seekers at the
Parker last evening on the occasion
of loves Madison Square Theatre
Company's initial performance.
This talented aggregation of players
comes almost unknown, unheralded,
but their finished production Of
the pleasing comedy drama A
Mountain Wa f acitly placed them
in good grace of Eugene theatre
goers. Two very interesting phases
of life are portrayed with much
realism in the "Waif." One is the
typical home scene of border life
with its quaint provincialvernacu1a
The other is that of ultra fashion
able society with its shams, follies
and deceits. Both stories were graph
ica1ly told with all the fnesse and
color of stage realism. Mr. Chas. c
Lowe as Percy O'Nei1 enlisted the
sympathy of the audience by his
recita1s of wrongs suffered,
while Mr. Add Sharp1ey, who essay
ed the role of Gerald Stone, the vii
1ian, whose Vaccinations caused all
hands to suffer, received the audi
ence's dissaproval to marked
degree Miss Passis May Lester's
portraiture of Florence Sinclaire
was dignifed and thoroughly ac-
ceptable. AS 'fChick" the. .ro1licking
tomboy Miss Mildred Eddy, petite
and winsome lass, literally Fl clicked
and kicked her way into the hearts
af her audience. The same praise
applies to George A F1orer as Jerry
with the exception that Mr. Florer
is winsome young man. The mi
nor roles were in capable hands.
Speeia1ties in en- tracte were intro
duced by Mr. Penrose, Miss Eddy
and Mr. F1orer. The formers Swe-
dish dialect, mono1ogues and the
1atter's clever f1atfoot dancing were
received with extraordinary appre-
ciation.
