OREGON TO HAVE
TWO JUDICIAL DISTRICTS

brought up. it needs only unanimous
vote to pass it,
The Portland Journal says: Wash
ington dispatches indicate that the bill
creating two federal judicial districts in
Oregon is likely to be enacted. The
first proposition, that the present dis,
triet be merely divided, giving the pres
ent officers two terms in different parts
Of the state, is not favored by those
seeking to create the district. Mitch
ellis measure put through the senate
providing for two distinct districts and
this is what is being championed in the
house by the proxies Of the Oregon
representatives.
Who will be the judge, if the meas
use becomes a lawl "Senator John L.
Rand Of Baker county" is common
answer in Eastern Oregon. This can
didacy recalls an interesting episode of
the late legislative session. After the
drst indictment had been returned
against Senator Mitchell, there was
strong sentiment in certain circles of
the legislature to vote confidence. SEN
ator Rand as the friend of Senator
Mitchell, was active in this work. A
caucus was held, and Senator Rand was
chosen TO express his views, which were
adopted by both houses. /
1t has been rumored for some time
that Senator Mitchell would urge State
senator Rand's selection for the new
if it were created, and the
fact that the latter is one Of the keen. /
PSI lawyers of Eastern Oregon, with
exceptionally strong political following, /
seemed to insure him the place. If he
engineered the vote of confidence, he
showed that he appreciated the work
IF his friend, and was not among the
list Of those who were deserting in the
time Of need.

with them. They are not feeling like
sheep when they recognize his superior
ability in handling vessel at sea, al
though there may, at times, lurk in the
captains mind this idea when he sees
how helpless they are. In every place
on earth where men congTegate as a
body polite, it is as necessary to have
organization and management as for
man to have a head on his shoulders to
make himself available for human ex-
istence. 1t is not the bossing of the
people that is the great wrong, it is
the dishonesty which is permitted to
creep into the art that renders the peo-
pie fearful and the job stunt by
bad actor. No one can help admiring
the man who, in moment of emergen-
cy and crisis, steps forward and takes
the lead, and if he be a man who not
only knows what to do, but does it, he
is what we all agree upon-he is hero
and a leader While the doctrine of
direct nomination would appear to have
socialistic tendency, this charge
against the people, taken as "a whole,
doe, not argue much for people rule.
The assertion so often made by advo-
Gates that the people are intelligent
enough to act upon all matters and do
not need organization or management.
is worthy of consideration, but the
question of management and organiza.
tion goes without any pushing into the

It is a natural condition among people |
