JUDGE WATSON'S PLATFORM.

The platform on which Judge E. B.
Watson is making his campaign for
the nomination for the United States
senatorship from this state is broad,
comprehensive and patriotic. Instead
of resorting to the use of high-sound-
ing platitudes in his declaration of
policy, he says in plain English that
his official course, if elected to that
honorable and onerous position, will first
be directed in the interest of the COM
mon people. He will use his utmost
effort to enforce the provisions in the
Oregon Railroad and Wagon Road sub
sidy land grants in favor of settlers
and purchasers. 1t is well known to
the people of Oregon that this import
ant matter has heretofore been out
Irageously overlooked" by our nation.
al congress. The people have pleaded
in vain for some show of interest in
their behalf in the matter of COM
polling those who own and control
these vast land grants to respect the
conditions thereof; but they have re-
ceived no consolation from the nation
al congress. New legislation on that
subject is imperative, but none has so far
been proposed. These extensive hold
ings of valuable lands in the very
heart of the rich domain of the state
have been permitted to lie untouched
by the hand of progress and develop
ment, while those who own them as a
gift are being enriched by the develop
ment of the territory about them, or
are preventing the development of
that territory by inaction Claimants
under the land laws of the govern
ment are thus being robbed of the
profit of their toll and time by this
outrageous dog-in-the-manger policy
of those who control these grants of
public domain. Judge Watson, If

CIRCUIT JUDGES.

It is sometimes said, or thought,
that a circuit judge, once elected, is
entitled to be reelected as long as
he lives. He seems to think, and a
good many other people seem to agree
with him, that nobody else should
'butt in" and that the Office should
be considered his as a matter of
course until he is separated from it by
death. There is some good, sound
basis for this idea, as a general rule.
but there may be exceptions to it. II
a judge becomes in any considerable
measure incapacitated from any
cause, or if he becomes "too big" for
the Office. and shows that he feels
that he is accountable to nobody, then
it is well for the people to take the
matter in hand and make a change.
We are not herein intimating that
either of these cases are presented
here now in the judges of departments
number two and number four of the
circuit court. Both the occupants Of

the corporations and trusts and the
hangers-on supported by them, includ-
ing in the latter class many members
of the national congress.
Judge Watson is also an ardent sup
porter of President Roosevelt's pro-
posed policy of dealing with the rail-
roads by summary rate legislation. In
short, the Judges position on all i'm
portant public questions with which
the national congress must deal is
strongly fortified by volumes of facts
and figures obtainable by anybody and
in it he is supported by public opinion
in every district of the state.
That Judge E. B. Watson ought to
receive the nomination there is no
doubt, considering the matter from a
popular point of view; and that he
will receive it there now appears to
be little question.

COUNTY JUDGE.

We believe it is generally conceded
that so far as ability and industry
in attending to the duties of his Of
flee are concerned, when he has been
in the city and not otherwise engaged
in his private affairs, Judge Webster
has made, as rule, a very good coun-
ty iudge-though there have been a
few cases in which his actions have
been severely criticised. We suppose
few Scandinavians, for instance, will
feel inclined to vote for him, after he
allowed one of them to be practically
buncoed out of a large portion Of a
ridiculously small sum received from
the O. w. G. P. company as damages
for the death of his brother. And we
imagine that common laborers gener-
allv. though never jailbirds and not
in sympathy with crime, are not
pleased at the manifest partiality
shown by the county judge to Guard
Johnson.
But, aside from these matters, the
more serious criticism to be made OF
.Iudge webster is that, though elected
and paid to serve the people steadily
and continuously, he has been away
for long stretches of time up in South
eastern Oregon, on several occasions.
He was there on private professional,

DR.. WITHYCOMBE.

One Of the principal reasons why we
think DR.. Withycombe ought to run
well in the primaries, and will run
well, is the fact that he has never
been politician, though always in
terested in public affairs, and so has
allied himself particularly with neither
Republican faction, and has no enc
mics in either. The other candidates,
having been active in politics, have
necessarily been factionists to some
extent, and so will encounter more,
or less opposition from the opposing
faction, for while the Republican feud
does not rage as fiercely as it has for
years past, the wounds are not all
healed yet, and it is unreasonable to.

While he is the candidate of no class

that they are by far the most numer-
GUS "class"-for want Of a better

THE PORTLAND & SEATTLE.

The Portland & Seattle railroad,
really a Columbia river arm of the
Northern Pacific, is treating this city
very generously. Notwithstanding
every possible obstacle that could be
thrown in it's way by the Hartman
railroad, Notwithstanding an adverse
decision of the circuit court, and not
withstanding apparent apathy or in
difference If not opposition on the part
of some people in authority, it is pur-
suing its plans and work to come into
this city and in doing so yields even
to the extent Of consenting to an
upper deck on its great Swan island
bridge, the better part of mile long,
to accommodate the public, though
this upper highway will be nuisance
to the railroad. The Seattle G North
ern will be worth millions of dollars

we have mentioned good-sized
rock or two heretofore, but these may
be avoided, providing no Independent
republican candidates for important
offices pop up, and providing there is
no serious boiling. But let us suppose
case. Suppose, for instance, Port
land man was chosen for senator, an
other for representative, and perhaps
one or two others for state Offices.
Would not all the rest of the state,
and particularly Eastern Oregon, II
nobody were elected from that part OF
the state, arise in arms against the
law, and say that while in theory it
might be good, in practice it was bad?

Lowell is all right, individually, but

a Portland man from running for rep

so, and a far better man for the po-

BREAKERS AHEAD.

The New Age does not wish to ac-
cuse anybody of insincerity, yet 1t
cannot avoid the conclusion that
good many candidates and others who
are verbally and ostensibly support
ing the direct nomination primary law
really haven't great deal of conf
dence in it, and hope, if not expect.
that after it's trial this spring 1t will
break down and be repealed or tg-
nored hereafter. The thing, the idea,
is just now popular. Something of the
sort was demanded by the people,
and perhaps to please the people
rather than to say what they really
think. some political aspirants and
some editors of party papers do not
express their real thoughts, or at
least do not express them fully and
with entire candor.
The New Age is supporter of this
law, Of the idea which prompted 1t,
and of its purpose, and would say
nothing if it could to hinder it's opera
ton in full accordance with the in
tent and hopes of it's most sanguine
friends, yet we can see some breakers
ahead, and if we can see them plain
ly. so can others, even more clearly.
Is it not best honestly and plainly to
point out and keep an eye on these
breakers, and to bring the ship
through, even with some loss and dam
age, so that it can if possible be rem
dered more seaworthy in 1908, than to
say that everything is all just right
and that there will be no kind of
trouble at all? We think the new
vessel will weather the approaching
storm, and Wnen seasoned, ana per-
haps made over in spots, will be an
enduring craft. We think we ought
not and that we will not go back to
the old system, but that the people
are going to take larger and larger
hand directly in the choosing Of their
officers, including United States SEN
ator, and in making laws; yet we will
not disguise the fact that events may
so shape themselves this spring that
1t will be difficult to prevent re-
version in practice, If not by statute,

edy this evil condition.
Probably no one in the state could
do more to encourage the improve
ment of our rivers and harbors than
Mr.. Watson. He is thoroughly con-
versant with these conditions and the
urgent necessity of hurrying along
this class of work in congress. His
tariff-revision policy is in perfect har-
mony with that of President Roose-
welt, and is the only reasonable posi-
ton to be taken at this time by our
national lawmakers. The improve
ment of the parcels post service, as
suggested by Judge Watson, is of far
greater importance than many who
have not given the matter especial
thought would be willing to believe
at first glance. The rural districts,
particularly, are much interested in
this matter.
When Judge Watson says that he
will oppose further domination by cor
porations and trusts in politics and
legislation, he strikes popular chord
in the heart of every true American
citizen. Mr.. Watson's ideas on this
subject are so well known that little
reference need to be made to them at
this time. The only people on the con-
