Yet such has been the administra

slow, or so corrupt, have been the

disgust and derision of lawyers them

Immediately after the attempt on

attorney of the city, is quoted as say

ministration of justice in this COM
munity l have the profoundest con-
tempt. but it is given to us of the
profession to work in but one way
and that is through this lame admin-
istrauon of law and justice
There is something wrong with a
judicial system when it brings forth
such harsh denunciation from one
who is himself a member Of the bar
The truth is, and even attorneys are
now admitting it, there is entirely too
much technicality about the American
judicial system. 1t should not re-
quire millionaire's bank account, a
host of detectives and able lawyers to
send man to the penitentiary when
he admits he is guilty of a felony.
The law is not up-to-date. 1t per-
mits of too much delay. too much
quibbling, too much technical object
ing, too much demurring. If two
thirds the system were cut away
would not justice be more sure and
speedy?
The law is supposed to forward the
work of justice. But in San Fran

The great canella swings its blooms
Like censers down the languid air:
More dear to me the purple plumes
New England's lilacs wear.
The sun strides-an exulting god
Too glorious above the plain;
crave gray skies and April sod
Green from the last long rain.
AT night the stars are wonderful:
Remote they blaze-aloof-apar .
OH northern night-sky. far and cool,
Your stars shine in ny Aeart
l want the hills of home again;
And aye my heart is yearning-
yearning
To feel the hill road up the glen
Caress my feet returning

HONOR. THE ONLY ISSUE.

Though the local morning paper
does not dare openly advise member.
OF the legislature to violate their
pledges yet it is indirectly doing
everything possible to induce them to
do so. Then it cries because this
paper uses "denunciatory adjectives"
in dealing with it. 1t asks for sober
consideration of the issues involved" D."
But there is just one single, soli-
tary issue involved in the senator
ial proposition 1t is whether solemn
oaths shall be respected or broken
whether honor or dishonor shall pre-
vail in Oregon.
Along with others the East Oregon
ian has been urging that the men,
bers-elect Of the legislature keep theit
rlighted faith and elect Governor
Chamberlain for senator as they swore
they would do if the people endorsed
him. Other papers, and the Tribune
is one of them. are working to induce
legislators to break their pledges.
Should the legislature refuse to
elect Governor Chamberlain and
thereby disgrace themselves and the
state these papers will be chiefly to
bame. They will be accessories to
the wrongdoing.
Because the morning paper is not
openly advising statement No. l
members to break their pledges, this
fact does not relieve it from the odi-
um of its position. 1t is trying to do
indirectly what it dares not do d.
rectly. 1t has the soul of the political
creek, but not the nerve.
The proposition Of the senatorship
Is purely and simply a question Of
nCnor. Being such it is not properly
q subject for debate. All this talk
regarding constitutionality, court de-
eislon, etc. is superfluous. The mem
bers Of the legislature have pledged
their sacred words Of honor. This
should settle the matter. 1t does
settle it with fair-minded, honest men.
The East Oregonian believes that
the movement to force members Of
the legislature to break their pledges
{. going to fail mlserably 1t will fail
II the instinct Of honor Is enthroned
as it should be in the hearts Of the
men who are to represent the state
OF Oregon in the coming legislature.

THEY ARE ANALOGOUS.

In a weakly manner the morning
paper denies there is any analogy be-
tween the election of a president by
the electoral college and the selec-
ton of a senator by a pledged legis-
lature. 1t says the cases are utterly
dissimilar" and that another diagno-
sis should be tried.
Now let us look at this matter fair
ly and honestly and see who is right.
The East Oregonian said that the
cases are similar in that in neither
instance do the men use their own
discretion, though under the constitu-
ton they are permitted to do so.
Under the constitution a presiden-
tial elector may vote for whomever
he pleases for president. Yet no elec
tor ever goes back on the implied
pledges he takes. The presidential
electors will not think of voting for
anyone but Taft, although majority
o. them might favor Roosevelt, or
Hughes, for instance.
The members-elect of the legisla-
ture are in exactly the same situation,
excepting that they are under sworn
obligation to vote for a certain man.
a majority took oath to vote for the
man whom the people should desig.
nate. They designated Governor
Chamberlain.
1t matters not in the slightest that
Governor Chamberlain is demo-
crat. The legislators-elect knew that
when they took their oaths. The
people knew that when they selected
him for senator. There is nothing in
the constitution, or out of 1t. that
makes it necessary for a legislature
tc. choose a senator from any partic-
ular political party.
The two cases are analogous. If 1t
i5 contrary to the constitution for the
people to instruct legislators whom to
choose for senator it is unconstitu-
tional for the people to say what men
the electors shall vote for. But the
constitution is not violated in either
case. The people are supposed to rule
in this country.
