HALLEY'S COMET
Now Plainly Visible In the Western

A. L. JOBE,
County Examiner.

The comet has appeared in tha
-srect4 lallt this.ltiina A--e-l
which was ITS Chief glory while lii
the east. 1t is watched each night
by many who hope to see the tail
appear again in all its glory, but so
far all have been disappointed, as
the tail is quite iudistinct-Those
with vivid Imagination can imag-
inc they see something like a tail,
but it seems to grow less distinct as
the comet recedes from the earth.
ihe moon was in total eclipse Mon
day night and many had hoped tn
get u better view OF the comet, but
before the shadow crept across the
face Of old lunar the comet had dis
appeared below the western horl-
ZOn.
Since the above was written the
conditions for viewing the comet
have improved somewhat, and the
comets tail as cen Wednesday and
Thursday nights was not imag nary
but "a reality. This is due to the
Moon rising at a later hour. The
comet will gradually lose in brill
fancy, but may be seen for several
weeks yet.

Hints. Small But Important.

The dainty, lacy Dutch collars which
are still worn in the house, are not
hard to make at home, if one knows
how, The simplest way is to cut the
collar in paper and then cover it with
alternate strips of lace and embroid-
cry. In this way there is less waste
han ii the pieces are put together be.

That mayor CaIIaghan refused to eX-

TAFT TAKES RAP
At BRYAN AND
SOME OTHERS
Completes His Western Trip
and Starts Back for the
Capital

St Louis, Mo-, May 5.-President
Taft's trip TO the middle west ended
here Wednesday and he left late last
night for Washington. wnere he is
scheduled to arrive early Friday morn
ing.
The apparent warmth of the srecep-
ton here seemed to affect the presi-
dent and when al the luncheon of the
Business Mems league late in the aft
ernoon. president Walker Hill praised
him for appointing Messrs. Lurton and
Hughes TO the supreme court, Mr.. Taft
launched into a speech paying his re-
spects to Mr.. Bryan for his reported
criticism of governor Hughes. He de-
cried the ''cant of the demagog and
the ''disposition of public journals to
make unjust charges against men in
public life.
The constitution of the United
States" said the president, was made
by the people of the United States and
we have a popular and representa-
tive government; out the people who
framed the constitution realized that
in order to secure the best government
themselves that would impose OBJ
structions to sudden emotional move
ments of the people.
And so it was that in the division
of power, they created a legislative
branch, an executive branch and a
judicial branch; and in that constitu'
ton they gave to the supreme court
and the subordinate tribunals to be
established by congress, certain powers.
which, interpreted by Marshall and those
who followed him, make that court
unique in the tribunals of the world.
Supreme Court Sacred.
a
Of the United States is the most sacred
thing that we have in this government
and the appointment of men TO that
bench is the highest and most sacred
function that the executive has to per-
form.
Class Spirit Deprecated.
The stirring up of class spirit is
something that ought to be deprecated
in our republic, or else it will lead TO
great danger. We ought 10 take up the
discussion of public questions. and dis
cuss their effect with judicial calmness:
not have our minds diverted by charges
of prejudice and corrupt motives say
charges utterly unsupported by evidence
or calm consideration
Now, all I am appealing for is JUS

for myself, for indeed 1 am in a posi-
ton where Lean get along better than

San Antonio. Tex, May 5.!There Is
enough enthusiasm here to bring COM
mission government under the wire an
easy winner, but the one question is
How many of these enthusiasts have
paid their poll taxes end are qualified
to vote?"
There is where mayor Cailaghan is
figuring on coming in strong at the
finish He has all of his supporters
lined up and not a single one OF them
IS without his poll tax receipt. All or
these will count at the polls Can the
commission advocates say as much?
Mayor CalIaghan says no and there
you are. for he ought 90 know. He is
too old a campaigner to go into fight
not fully convinced that his powder is
not wet, and he is making all Of his
shots count.
IN the meantime the commission gov
eminent idea is growing and it Is
bound to carry. but if it will carry
al the next election is a question that
remains to be answered. 1.-The man who
does the loudest shouting is not the
man with the biggest VOTE is the way

islative assembly that an effort to

To Destroy Machine.
Plainly stated, the aim Of our law
is to destroy the irresponsible political
machine and put all elective offices in
the state in direct touch with the peo-
pie as the real source of authority; in
short, to give direct and full force TO
the ballot of every individual elector
in Oregon. and TO eliminate dominance
OF corporate and corrupt influences In
the administration of public affairs.

that must be pursued before the

power and lasting reform secured.
They insure absolute government by

thought would be an impossible condi-

The Peoples Choice.
