E. w. IRELAND

Didn't get in as The first man this
tiinss4A4l1e horiffiifelar years agn--a.ss t-as
close second did E. W. Breland. He
handed in his announcement the day
after r. D. Cochran. The office that
Eugene aspires to this time IS that
OF County Representative. His re-
cord as Sheriff has been eminently
pleasing to the citizens of Greene
County, in fact the neighboring coun-
ties and officials have spoken highly
OF his administration. He is enjoy
ing now as he did when he went be-
fore the people for the sheriff 5 office
four years ago, a great popularity.
Whether or not the voters will de-
eide that he should be further honor
ed from the ballot box remains to be
shown.
Breland has since entering man
hood 5 estate, been connected more
or less with the affairs of county
government. He was first elected
Superintendent Then he acted as
chief DEPUTY Sheriff for four years.
Then he filed his present position.
This experience has given him an IN
innate acquaintance with the min
ipulation Of the legal machinery, and
an opportunity to study the needs
of corrections in the existent laws
and necessity for creation of new
ones. He has some gift as a speaker,
which with training, will probably
prove useful in deliberative bodies.
His association with different as
sembIies and the courts parliamen-
have given him some knowledge Of
tary practice. So that in reality he
possesses some qualifications to
commend him to tie suflragists for
this trust

E D. COCHRAN

Just as be did in the Campaign of
eight years ago, r. D. Cochran open
ed the Ball, 50 to speak this time, he
being the first to formally announce
his candidacy We feel very kindly
towards him in an announcement
way, as he was the first Candidate
that the present editor announced in
his newspaper experience.
The Office Rich wants is Tax AS
SCISSOR The same one he won and
served through, dating back for be
ginning eight years,
He is too well-known to the people
of Greene County for us to go into a
lengthy comment. His experience
in the Office for the term he served,
will stand him in good stead for an
other tenure. There's no man, but
what if he is properly balanced, will
profit by his mistakes. Howsoever
few they might have been, this man
is one, who will diligently strive to
avoid them again He made very
legible roll before, being a good pens
man. He is gifted with that patti
ence which a man should possess to
handle land matters No one doubts
his cle2r honesty Of purpose and gen
eral good character. If chosen he
will serve the people courteously and
well

vene its Winter session at Leakes-

yond the predication of man to tel
whether or not the present notional
Chancellor will hold the Court His
record for not holding courts IN
Greene County, is far better estab-
Iished, than for doing so What
makes his failure to do so at the prop
per time particularly aggravating to
people having business with his
Court, is his never handing out his
decision for pretermitment or post
ponement till the eleventh hour. On
a good many occasions have we seen
our Courtyard sprinkled with an
angry and disappointed throng, due
to just such a course on his part.
Vainly then have we hoped that the
day for such had passed. We again
renew such a hone.

This Office is reliably informed that
the public roads leading into Leal1es-

the people have been heavily bur
dened on the road working question
since the Great Storm, but still it
does look like with the New Year a
new breath could be taken and our
highways put into more passable fix.
We trust that the appointment of
new Overseers attended to by the
Board of Supervisors this week, will
sequaiize into some good efforts for
alienation in this matter.

well beloved independent religious
weekly, was changed with the begin
ming OF the year TO the bone Her

part with that distinctive aamc which
this excellent and inimitable journal
has borne SO long and so distinctiVly.
There's q good deal in name, and
we had come to understand that the
name Rams Horn meant certain
things in the press world. The pub
fishers have left us a little consola-
ton, however, as this sentence is
written after and under the new
name: The New Voice Of the Ram S
Horn. Some consultations and
some changes in the policy account
for the change in appeIlation The
latter is best expressed in the Ian
guage of the paper itself which, says:
The Ram S Horn has been blowing
down the walls Of atheism, intempcr-
ance, self pride and avarice 1t is
equally important, perhaps more im-
portant now, that we build up the
walls OF faith and righteousness.
Many of The things against which
the Ram S Horn has blown It's UNI
compromising blast, have largely dis
appeared, notably sectarian bate and
saarling bcgotry, have largely dis
appeared. The walls have been
preached and that part of Jericho at
least has fallen Our work must
henceforth be not that Of Joshua, but
that Of Ezra and Nehemiah. We
are glad 10 say that this splendid pa

features, the principal difference thai
we note from the changed name, is
the addenta of several new and valu-
able departments Long may it live,
