A PORTLANDER'S OPINION.
About Congressman Resigning-
Voters to Blame, he says, for
Their Election.

Editor Corvallis TIMES: The
Oregonian OF this morning copies
an article from your paper in
which you say: g The state is in
no sense responsible for the mess
in which it is unhappily and
unfortunately mixed" You refer
to our delinquent members of
congress and to the necessity for
better representation in the nation
al body than we now have. Of
course when I agree with you in W hat
you say about that, and it is perfect
ly certain that if our members
had proper self-respect or respect
for the public, they would resign
at once. The leech habit simply
shows how unprincipled they were
elected, But I cannot agree with
you that the "State'', or rBther
the people, are not responsible for
the mix and mess. They are re-
sponsible. The state, the people,
by their votes, put these men where
they are, and if they did it through
Ignorance then they are still to
blame, for it was their duty to
know. and it was very easy to
know better.
Every citizen who kept up with
current events knew that Hermann
was tainted with Iofficia1 leprosy
when he was nominated for congress
and that he was turned out of Of
ficial life at Washington for thai
very reas0n. But with all these
facts staring them in the face, they
let the "leaders - thrust him or
the party. as their representative
in congress and then the compliant
rank and file thought they had tt
endorse him, and so ie was al
lowed TO shove himself 10. Tht
mix" and the mess and th'
dishonor and the weakness ane
disgrace we now enjoy at the ma
tional capital is the natural ane
legitimate result, The state ant
the people by their want of ap
, prehension to use the mildest wore
, I can think of, bred the condition
, they now have. The responsible
lity is theirs and il is cowardic
, to seek to shuttle it off to oth7
shoulders.
The situation in this district
, little better, than in yours. Perhap
, the people will learn by what they
E suffer. Sometime integrity will b

BENTON BOY ABROAD.
Was Elec:ad to a Judgesh;D in the
Famous Idaho Districts Expect
ed Here.

By overcoming an adverse ma
jority of 900 and being elected to
a judgeship in Idaho, Ed. L. Bryan
a we'll known Benton boy, has
achieved distinction, The Office to
which he is elected corresponds to
circuit judgeship in Oregon. and
is an important position. In the
case Of Judge-elect Bryan, he is
named to preside over the famous
court in which the notorious West
ern Federation officials are pending.
Judge Frank J. Smith, before
whom so far the proceedings have
been had in the + 1eration cases,
is the man whom the Benton county
man defeated. There is talk in the
papers to the effect that Mr.. Bryan
had the support of the Western
Federation influences in his candi-
dacy. The statement is that the
friends of Haywood, PettiDone and
Meyer, thought they saw advantage
for themselves in electing Mr.. Bry-
an and that their secret Influence
went fof him. The story comes
from friends of the defeated jurist
and may or may not be true. That
the friends of the federation hateo
Judge Smith is certain, and thai
for reasons of revenge they would
have sought his defeat is entirely
probable. That Mr.. Bryan may
have profted from this fact is very
likely. He wouldn't have been the
astute person his friends have al
ways believed him to eff he had n
accepted any votes that saw fit tt
come his way.
Judge Bryan will not preside 9
the coming trials of the Federation
officials. He has been al along tn
attorney for the notorious Harr,
Orchard a star witness for the pros
ecution. This will debar him from
presiding. tact for which he ma.
be thankful. The enormous re
sponsibility of presiding at trials il
which there is such bitter publ
sentiment and such a diversity Q
opinion, and into which the bes
legal talent the country affords wi
be drawn, will make the task c
hearing the cases one from which
veteran judge would shrink.
Judge Bryan is expected in Coz
wallis today or tomorrow to visi
relatives and friends, and to rect
perate from the strenuous cam
paign through which he has passed
