GOOD MEN FOR OFFICE.

The following from the Quin-
cy Times is so replete with good,
hard sense, and withal so time
ly, that we cannot refrain from
reproducing it for the public
good. The Times says;
"A number of papers through
out the State have already TAX
en- up the matter of voting for
candidates for the legislature of
1907, and they urge the voters
to, make good selections and vote
only for those who are in every
way capable of credita bly, rep
resenting their respective coun.
ties. Of course such advice as
this is never out of season, and
one is led to believe from the
various articles that in some
counties drilling along this line
can't begin too early"
The gu estion is, why should
people need such advice regard
ing candidates for Office, wheth.
err for the Legislature or for a
constable? Every one should re-
alize that not only this age but
every other age requires the
best men for any office. Perso-
nal feelings should not control
votes when personal feelings
lean toward the weaker canui
date, yet strange to say in many
cases personal feelings are the
main issue.
In connection with the numer.
Gus arguments tor strong minded
and honest representatives, we
hear that such are especially de-
sirable two years hence, for the
reason that matters of great i'm
portance will come up for act
ion. Do not matters of great i'm
portance come up for action at
every session of the Legislature?
If not, it would be better to call
of sessions until important work
is required. A good mau receives
no more pay from the State than
an idiot would receive. An hon.
est man receives no more pay
from the State than dishonest
man would legimately receive
Hence since there is no economy
to be practiced is it not always
better to vote for the ablest and
the most honorable man in the
race, if in reality there is such a
candidate for official honorsY
His work will reflect greater
credit upon the county he rep
resents, his work will be of much
greater advantage to those
whom he serves, and in every
way the tears of regret and the
curses of censure will be reduc
ed to a minimum.
ave see no more occasion for
urging voters to select good rep
in the Legislature
than in any other Office. Heoce,

BRANTON
is UNDER
ARREST

Cottage Grove, March 1O.-John
Branton was arrested here last even
ing for the attempted murder of John
Fletcher. The latter, in statement
given to the police, says that the two
attended the meeting Of the Woodmen
Of the World on Wednesday night, and
started home They went short dis.
tance from this city when Branton
claimed that he saw a panther near the
road, and Fletcher, who had a revolver
fred twice in the direction indicated
by Branton. They proceeded a short
distance along the road, and Branton
! asked TO borrow the revolver, claim
ing that the panther was following
them
He walked a short distance and fired,
the bullet striking Fletcher in the head.
Branton asked him if he was hurt, and
tried to help Fletcher home. The form
er tried to get Fletcher TO say that he
had tried TO commit suicide, saying that
the officers would be after him if he
told the truth. Fletcher refused 10 do
this.
Branton is a brother Of Claude Bran
ton, who was executed in Eugene for
the murder of a man in the Cascade
mountains several years ago. His pa
rents live at Lorraine, in this county,
and he has resided near here for sever
al years.
Fletcher carries an insurance policy
of $4,000 in the Woodmen Of the World,
and recently made an assignment of the
policy to Branton. The officers are Of
the opinion that deliberate murder
was planned, and that Branton had
mailed the policy before leaving town.
