The BOISE 7aIesmen.

The talesmen up at Boise are re-
sorting to every sort of subterfuge e
to escape jury duty. They did it
in the Reuf case at San Francisco,
and are doing it in the Schmitz
trial. They do not want to serve
because of the interminable length
to which trials have come to be
drawn out. A dozen weeks in the
Thaw case, eight weeks to merely
get a jury in the Reuf case, and the
prospect of unlimited weeks of con
fnement in the great trial at Boise
are experiences men worth while
and with things to do in the world
do not turn to with pleasant antici'
pstion. And the confessions of ig'
norance, stupidity and colorles:
opinion that men must make to bt
considered as suitable for jury duty
in a great trial are such that many
men would rather plead guilty t.
horse-stealing than make them.

Mdqe McFadden.

Governor Chamberlain has done
many wise things. His appoint
ments to Office are notable for their
fine discrimination. He has been
applauded alike by political friends
and foes for his unvarying good
Judgment in his use of the appoin-
tive power. His appointees have
been and are universally men who
have reflected unqnestioned credit
on his administration. His selec
ton in the case Of the new district
attorneyship for the second judicial
district is full ard complete vindi-
cation of his record. Judge Nc
Fadden is all in ability, in high
character and in good American
grit that a district attorney ought
to be. He is a clean man and re-
doubtable exponent of public order.
He will be an official to whom by
reason of his known reputation, the
people will look for vigorous ad-
ministration of the law, and they
will not be disappointed. Govern
or Chamberlain and the people are
to be congratulated on the appoint
ment.

are wanted for that. Also two sill
yer cups. On the 9TH and 9Th in
ST., the town is to give a great live
stock show, and so silver cups are
wanted as prizes for that.
E. w. S. Pratt was commissioned
by the college students as minister
plenipotentiary and envoy extraor.
binary to make the purchase of
their medals and cups, 20 in all.
Mr.. Pratt vas also commissioned as
grand purchasing sachem and am
bassador saleratus to make the
purchases of the cups for the live
stock show, 50 in all. The whole
business meant nearly a trainload
of gold and silver. possibly little
less, fashioned into cups and med
ais; at least, that is what the Port
land dealers seemed to think about
it when envoy extraordinary and
Ambassador Salaratus Pratt ap-
peared before them and read his
acquisitions in duplicate, triplicate
and otherwise.
Figuraeively speaking, the fact is
that tie Portlanders went straight
up at the Corvallis man S modest
request. ''Did he think they were
exclusively in the business of run
ming worlds depot of silver cups
and gold medals?" was their ejacu
lations. The reply was, that be
didn't know what kind of depot
they were running but that Corval.
lis is dry town and has turned its
attention from spirits fermenti to
silver cups and gold and silver
medals, and that he wanted 7e in
all, that he had the money to pay
for them, aggregating in all. some
thing less than 81 900.
The result of the trip is that the
Portland silver cup supply is ex-
hausted, and the ambassador sa.-
eratus got home with but ten cups.
The other az are being made under
a rush order, and will be in Corval-
lis in due time, which will be in
good season for the events for
which they are required. He
brought back only part of the re-
qnired medals, but the rest will be
here before next Saturday, which is
the date when they are to be
awarded to the visiting athletes.
All the cups and medals that he
brought home are on exhibition ir
Mr.. Pratt's show window, and they
are pretty sight to see.

JUDGE McFADDEN NAMED.
To the New District Attorneyship by
Governor Chamberlain.

Judge McFsdden of Corvallis
has been named for the new district
attorneyship of the second judicial
district. The appointment was
made yesterday by Governor
Chamberlain under authority of
law passed by the last legislature,
creating the Office. The new law
provides that the appointee shall be
resident of either Lane, Lincoln
or Benton, and that his official
duties shall pertain to those coun-
ties. He occupies, in fact, the same
relation as does the new judgeship
to the district. The Office carries
a salary of Sc, 500 a year, and it is
provided that an elective encum
bent shall be named at the next
election. Judge McFadden's COM
mission arrived this morning, and
he will enter at once upon the dis
charge of his duties. He will
serve until his successor is elected
and qualified nearly two years
hence.
The appointment is one of the
best that could have been made.
1t brings to the position man of
splendid ability, and fighting ma
ture that means that there will be a
vigorous administration Of the
duties. The appointee came to
Cor wallis when little more than a
boy in the early seventies. He
was without means beyond his re-
sources as a newly admitted law.
yer, but with that as an asset he
has successfully fought the battle
of life in this community for more
than third of century. He has
attained statewide reputation as q
criminal lawyer, and deserves the
fame. His appointment is we'll re-
ceived and heartily commended il

Mayor Lane.

It will be hort-sightedness' IT,
In the municipal election in Port
land next Monday, DR.. Harry Lane
;s not reelected mayor. Whether
or not he will be, is another ques-
ton. The public is not prone to
give deserved reward to faithful Of
ficials. That is the reason why the
best men so infrequently accept
public place. The good things Of
6cials do is mostly forgotten. That
in turn is a reason for such men as
Schmitz and others of his type. 1t
is a reason public trusts are prostl-
tuted as private snaps and the peo-
ple plundered numerically and un'
reservedly. 1t is the explanation
of how it is that bribers find their
unholy enterprises easy. and why
they are able to enrich themselves
out of public franchises that they
obtain for song through corrup-
tive processes. When a public Of
fetal is loyal to his people he
should be reelected. That is &C
acknowledgement of fidelity and faith.
full service. 1t is notice to the best
men that public Office is not thing
to be Stunned like contaglon. Ii
is a signal that if faithful service Is
given, it will be recognized and re-
warded. That is what ought to
happen to Mayor Lane, for nobody
not even his opponents in the very
heat of the campaign even hint that
he has been other than an excellent
and most honorable mayor.

cussed School Affairs.

It was fine meeting of school
patrons held at Be1lfountain last
Saturday. A large crowd assem-
b1ed for the days festivities. The
program was full of interest from
the beginning to the end. Mrs. J.
H. Edwards had charge of the
musical features. The vocal duett
by Mrs. Edwards and E. H. Be1s
KNAPP and the solos of Wilbur Starr,
Miss Dean and Mr.. Dean were ex-
cel1ent. A short literary program
was rendered. J. H. Edwards,
chose for his subject, ''The Labor
er is Worthy of his Hire - The
speaker showed the present condi-
tions, and the demand upon each
citizen caused by the same. He
showed how the intelligence of the
individual citizen had rendered him
fit to face the present conditions,
and solve them successfully. Rev.
Feese took as his theme the Home
Life The speaker eloquently
and classically portrayed the scenes
and responsibilities of the present
generation. With fowery Ian
guage, with excellent feeling he
brought the home close to the
hearts of all present. This was a
masterfu1 effort. Mr.. Feese was
congratulated by everyone on his
effort. Prof. Sweetzer, of the State
University, spoke on the Boys and
Girls and completely won the hearts
of his hearers With his love, SYM
pathy and earnestness he pleaded
for the parents to pay more atten-
ton to their children. Sacrifice
| wealth, position, yes everything if
need be, for your boy or girl" he
pleaded. E. H. Be1knap showed
the greatness of the age and the
need of the hour. He condemned
the shortened method pursued by
some to secure a commercial educa-
ton. "The best is not too good
for the humblest children, he
urged.
Sup't. Denman gave short talk
on the Fair. He urged the south
ern part of the county to look vel
after their past 1aurels. He i'm
pressed them with the reputation
they held for educational advan.
tages and standard. He said if yor

manner you will be ashamed wher
you admire the exhibits from othel

PLAN TO RAISE LICENSE.
High License and Local Option
to Be the Governing Powers
of Excise Question.


Two proposals for the regulation
of the liquor traffic were among the
twenty six propositions that were
submitted Wednesday to the consti-
tutional convention. F. j. Baldwin
would prohibit the sale of liquor en-
tirely after 1910. Delegate Gore s
plan to regulate it practically by
high license and local option will
meet with greater favor. and at
least portions of the scheme are
likely to be incorporated in the con-
stitution.
The salient features of Mr.. Gore S
plan follow: Counties. villages,
cities or wards may submit the ques.
tion of prohibition on the petition of
90 per cent Of the electors. The sale
of liquor is prohibited in townships
and in villages of less than 500 peo-
pie, and it ID prohibited as well at
Ann Arbor. One saloon is to be per-
mitted to 900 people &d the license
is set at 81, 900 instead OF $500.
Three convictions disqualify saloon
lists from getting licenses at all. A
state liquor commissioner is provid-
ed to enforce the laws.
