WILL URGE STEPHENs' CLAIM
FOR SUPERIOR JuDGESHlP

Albert Lee Stephens, who was fifth
in the list of attorneys favored by the
Bar association primary, being beaten
for fourth place by the slenderest- of
maiorities, is being urged by his
friends to run for superior judge on
the Democratic ticket. They state
that Judge Stephens has been anxious
to abide strictly by the judgment of
the Bar association. but that others
who received a far less. number of
votes than he himself did are being
entered in the race.

NEW POSTAL LA w.

The United States Postal De-
partment has made new regula-
tons in regard to carrying second
class mail matter { such as news
papers, magazines, periodicals,
etc.) the same going into effect
January I, 1908, and allowing
publishers to April I, 1903, 70
prepare their subscription lists in
accordance with the new order of
things. The effect OF the change
practically compels the establish
ment of new relations between
the publisher and subscribers of
county papers.
The department ruling requires
that subscriptions entitled to the
second class postage rate shall
not be delinquent longer than the
following periods of time:
Dailies within three months.
rri-weeklies within six months.
Semi weeklies within nine
months.
Weeklies within one year
The mails are not forbidden to
subscribers who are in AREAS
longer than the time provided in
the new ruling, but these subscri-
bers are placed in separate class
iication. requiring higher rate
of postage the rate being so high
that publishers could not afford
to send papers at the price OF SUBJ
scription.
The reason given by the gov
ernment tor making this order is
that second class mail matter is
being carried through the mails
at a rate of postage thereon
which is less than the cost of car
riage.
The GAZETTE has heretofore
been liberal in giving to its sub
scribers time to pay for their sub
scriptions, by paying 5000 per
year for those past due and 81. so
per annum when the same was
paid in advance. Having made
the difference in the past-due and
advance rate has resulted in Civ
Ding the GAZETTE larger portion
of paid up subscribers. This rule
must now be changed according
to Uncle Sans order, as the
newspaper has no voice in the
matter. The GAZETTE invites its
patrons to settle their dues soon.

name of the supreme power that
has guided US as a nation we
urge you to rally to its support.
Would you fight for your coun-
try in time of war ? Fight also
in time of peace with your ballot.
Can you formulate a single
thought and have it enacted into
law by staying away from the
polls ard complaining that rot
tenness exists in governmental
affairs, or in your party ? Show
your love and patriotism by TAX
ing an active interest in all ques'
tions which have a tendency to
purify the atmosphere around
you and thus be a blessing to
your country.
It is indeed strange that men
must be urged to go and register
in order to exercise the right to
vote, yet, if for any reason, men
should be disfranchised what a
mighty howl we would hear.
If you have not registered do it
now. Why should you delay a
matter so important? Whether
republican, democrat or socialist
20 and register and do it now.
When the time comes to vote,
both in the primary and general
election, do your whole duty by
going to the polls and voting ac-
cording to the dictates of you,
own conscience and it will make
you a better and truer man.

THE RECALL.


One of the proposed amend
ments to the constitution of
the state to be submitted to the
voters at the June election is
known as the Recall Amend
ment.'' The purpose of this is to
subject every public officer in the
state to custer of Office. 1t pro-
vides that after an officer has
been in office six months he may
be recalled-dispossessed Of his
office by the voters of the cleo
ton district from which he was
elected.
It provides that one-fourth of
the voters, in such district, who
voted for justice Of the supreme
court at the preceding election
may file a petition demanding his
recall. A special election must
then be ordered and held within
twenty days to determine wheth-
er the people will recall such off,
Ger. This petition shall set forth
the reasons for his recall, and a
two hundred word statement of
them shall be printed on the sam
pie ballot. The assailed officer
may defend himself in like man.
ner and to the same extent.
We would object to this amend
ment for the following reasons,
viz:
First: It is unnecessary. Pub
lie officers must obey the laws
for the conduct of their Office.
By mandamus a public officer
may be compelled to do his duty
and by injunction he may be re-
strained from illegal acts. What
more is necessary -? The courts
are easy of access.
Second: A few disgruntled
men, personal enemies it may be,
may gather the number of sigma
lures required for a petition.
Nothing would be easier than
this and nothing more probable.
Third: 1t would be a piece of
injustice to the officer. His ac-
cusers would not be compelled to
confront him with witnesses CIV
ing testimony under oath and
subjected to examination. Mel
ther could he defend himself by
such means. The charges would
simply be the two hundred words
in which a few men would say,
Tommy did," and the only re-
ply which could be made is Tom
my didn't"
Fourth 1t would incur great
expenditure of time and money
which would fall upon the satis-
fed majority of voters and tax
payers. The majority of tax
payers should not be made SUBJ
ject to the exploitation of a few
men none of whom may be a tax
payer to the extent of a nickle.
Fifth: It would render the
tenure of office so uncertain and
insecure that no man who had
any sort of employment whatever
would accept public Office. The
result would be that the offices
would fall into the hands of unfit
men, men unfit for everything
else and, therefore, unfit for pub
lie office.
These are some of the reasons
why this proposition should be
defeated at the polls in June.

THE VOTER and HIS DUTIES.

The time is drawing nigh when,
as an American citizen, it will not
only be your privilege, but your
duty as good citizen, to go to
the polls and vote for men for
county officers and also for those
who hold in their hands the des-
tiny of this great Nation for the
next four years. Many voters
fail to realize the great resronsi-
bility resting upon them, and
hence look upon election day as a
matter of pecuniary interest to
the candidate for Office. When
the voter views from this stand
point the love for money prompts
his actions and he watches for
Prerequisites" which sometimes
fall during a heated campaign.
forgetting the duty he owes to
his country as a citizen.
Some men conceive the idea
that they should make from $500
to 500 on election day which
means that the candidate shall
be ''bled" for that amount and
when the said candidate has been
duly elected by the corruption of
voters this class of men would be
the first, not only to prosecute,
but persecute him should he un-
dertake to make good from the
treasury of his office the money
thus spent in securing his cleo
ton. To this barter and trade of
the sacred ballot may be traced
the disgraceful scenes that have
attended the selection of United
States Senator and caused the
clamor for his election by direct
vote of the people. Honest men
blush when they think of the past
and realize that money flowed
like oil on these occasions. with
special trains running to Salem
to see the honorable Office of Uni
ted States Senator auctioned off
to the highest bidder. Can we
blame the people for being dis
gusted with this condition of
affairs ? Nor can we expect the
politicians who were engaged in
this nefarious business to bow in
humble submission to any scheme
looking to the abolishment Of
their absolute control of the sack
of gold while the people wear the
crown of thor"s. When the
'fatted calf ," is killed the masses
want some of the steak.
In this country, with its free
dom of thought and action, we
lose sight Of the great privileges
and blessings we enjoy. Did it
ever occur to you that this Nation
is ruled and governed by the bal
lot of her citizens, and the vote
you cast is an integral part of the
governmental forces =? Hence to
sell it, or suffer yourself to be
Influenced by mercenary motives
is base ingratitude to your coun-
try, to your family and to your
friends.
The candidate is supposed to
represent certain principles laid
down by the party to which he
belongs and should, in all hon
esty and sincerity, receive the
united support Of his party. If
the principles for which he stands
do not meet with your approval
it is not only your privilege, but
your duty, to use all honorable
means to encompass his defeat.
Because men, at times, violate
their oath of Office and prove rec
reant to the trust imposed in
them, is no excuse whatever for
you to remain away from the
polls. If you believe in Jefferso-
nian democracy, use all the power
at your command to have men
nominated by your party worthy
of support. If you care to follow
the Peerless Leader emulate his
example and make your party

All of the passengers were in their
