THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.

President Roo>cvclt's letter of ac-
ccptaucc has been before the people for
several days and it i to he hoped that
all have read and studied it.
1t is a very able document, but then
The Herald does not feel like "slop-
ping over" with any ful>ome express
sions of praise.
\ third and fourth study of the paper
imprcsscs one that it is Il composition
resulting from the labor of different
minds. Some portions of it are sharp,
brilliant. pungcntly convincing; others
heavy, almost prosaic and tedious. To
the candid critic it seems as if the Pres
ident had turned over the tariff and the
Philippines to specialists for prepare
ton; the arguments used lack that di-
rect. convincing simplicity which is the
great charm of Roosevelt's style.
But when the letter takes up the dem
ocratic party, its purposes and inten-
tions, the hand of the master in the
scathing arraiGnment is very evident.
With a single sentence he knocks to
pieces their house of straw: 1T is diff
cult to find out from the utterances of
our opponents what are the real is
sues upon which they propose to wage
this campaign"
The manner in which the letter sets
out our foreign relation record is very
happy and satisfactory and enough to
convince the most captious that Theo-
dore Roosevelt is the right man in the
right place. Writing in defense of the
republican party and his administration,
the President says: Men cannot ac.
cuSe us of stiffness or insinceritv."
Every candid reader must be conyinc.
ed that the present administration has
met and solved many difficult problems
with such patriotic fidelity as to war
rant the ratification and support of all
true citizens on election day.

THE JUDGESHIP.

The contest over the nomination of
a candidate for superior judge for the
judicial district composed of Yakima,
kittitas and Franklin counties hcld in
this city last Saturday, resulted i'll a
surprise to good many, but SO far
as the Herald is able to learn there are
no expressions of regret to be heard.
1t is pleasing indeed to know that the
position is held by Il Yakima man, and
The way in which the nomination came
TO Mr. Rigg must be highly gratifying
to him. since it was an expression of
confidence and esteem coming from those
who know MIN best and have the best
opportunity to Judge OF his ability to
fill the cNacting and responsible posi-
ton to which he aspircs. Mr.. Rigg is
Il graduate of the country's best law
schools, and has cnjoycd practice that
gave him the clear insight into the
duties of the higher position that will
he of incstimahlc benefit to him. The
stand taken by the Yakima delegation
in the convention in casting a solid vote
for him was certainly Il compliment,
and 81 even to greater extent was
the hearty and undivided support of
the Yakima members of the legal pro
fcssion, who endorsed mis- candidacy
and worked for his nomination almost
without exception. His victory is all
the more grtifying in view of the ability
and popularity of his opponent, Judge
Carol Il. Graves of Elensburg. whose
former incumbency gained for him an
cnviable and deserved record for fair
ness and ability.
1t will indeed require an able man to
fill acccptably the position of superior
Judge in succession to Judge Frank H.
Rudkin. whose nomination for the SUI
perior judgeship. while it is gratifying
to his friends. will ever stand as a loss
to this judicial district.

There are many manifestations

There are many manifestations of
interest in the proposition TO oil Yaki-
ma avenue, and among the interested
property owners are heard expressions
of qualification that the experiment is
to be made. II is true that it is an ex-
pertinent, so far as Yakima is con-
cerncd. but the success with which the
plan of oiling roads for the purpose of
keeping down dust in the summer and
lcsscning the mud in winter has been
met elsewhere is strong argument in
favor of giving it II thorough trial here
The Herald learns that there is a strong
sentiment i'll favor of the plan being
thoroughly tried, and the street chosen
Yakima avenue from the depot to
Second strect--on account of the heavy
travel and hauling thereon is a good one
on which to make the experiment. 1t
is said that Il good coating of the oil
which is similar in its chemical compo-
sition to asphaltum. when properly APP
piled forms thick coating or surface
through which the water will not find
its way. and which i'll its effects is as
good rs an asphalt pavement Mayor
Fcchtcr is taking Il great deal of inter
est i'll the experiment, and he. acting
with \. b. Cline and the members of
the council committee on streets and
bitches will see that il is conIuctpl in
such Il manner as to leave no doubt
about the effect of the oil upon the
streets. The experiment will be watched
with interest for if it is successful the
oiling of Yakima avenue will be fol-
lowed by similar treatment of otner
streets in the city, and in time. the
oiling of the roads throughout the
county.
