Whatever the fine points in the law
may be to a casual observer it seems
plain his decision was intended to
hamper justice and protect corrup-
tionists.
Very likely this same judge owes
his nomination to forces that are in
terested in opposing the Lorimer in
vestigation. They were able to bring
pressure to bear upon the court. AS
the people there do not have the right
to recall judges they had no such in
fluence. 1t is onesided arrange
ment and it is not surprising that
improper decisions are often given
under such circumstances. Judges
are human beings and they are moved
by the same influences that affect
other people. 1t is a mistake to re-
gard them as of superior clay.
After Woodrow Wilson sees how
the recall is operating in Oregon he
may feel more kindly about it. Roos-

SUCH DEVOTTON.

Mr.. McComas did not oppose the
gravity water system because of his
interest in the Byers mill. Oh no. He
was merely interested as a humble
citizen and as a grain buyer. 1t was
purely individual patriotism that
prompted him to bring an engineer
here from Portland; that prompted
him to mail out circular letters and
II fill a friendly newspaper with ar
ticles opposing a mountain water
supply 1t was civic patriotism that
caused MIN to argue that the water
now used is good even if it does smell
bad and that mountain water will not
necessarily prevent typhoid.
As an exponent of civic patriotism
IL Pendleton Mr.. McComas is a
peach. Regarding the gravity wa
ter question he has been fully as sin
cere and trustworthy as he was sim
cere and trustworthy last fall when
he supported the Eastern Oregon nor.
nal school by passing out a printed
slate on which the normal school was
marked for slaughter. He is a past
master with the double cross.

MAY BECOME CONVERTED.

Like Col. Roosevelt, Governor
Woodrow Wilson seems to grow more
progressive as he comes westward. At
Portland recently Roosevelt said he
felt like mild conservative though
he was considered a wild radical back
IN New York. He said in substance
that while he did not approve Of the
recall Of judges the use Of the recall
with reference to the judiciary might
be alright Besides it was Oregon's
business If they wished to recall
judges.
At Denver yesterday Governor Will
sen gave out an interview in which
h explained that he is not opposing
but merely has not yet been convert
ted to the recall of judges. He is
apparently open to conviction and
after he has been in Oregon perhaps
he will be ready to subscribe TO the
reform.
The people Of oregon have had the
recall for several years and so far they
have done none Of the dire things
predicted by eastern critics. Mean
while judges have apparently been
giving their decisions along much the
same lines as in the past 1t is
worthy Of note that the most import
ant decision given here in years and
which was adverse to a great corpor-
alton was given by Federal Judge
Wolverton who is not subject to the
recall.
In a state where the people are as
well educated in their political duties
as they are in Oregon 1t is safe to al
low them the use Of the recall. Usu-
ally the people act with honesty and
Intelligence. Judges on the contrary
at times prove themselves shysters
though this applies more to states that
are convention ridden than to states
where the direct primary prevails.

agreement had been delayed. the matter

The motion to defer action was sup

IL. the government majority being AZ.
Only two liberals broke away and voted
with the opposition They were Messrs.
Sifton and Harris. who have been OPP
posed to reciprocity from the first.
The intense interest i'm the situation
was shown by an unusually large num-
Der of members present to vote carly IN
the evening.
I'VE have made a pact Of honor in the
name of the people of Canada with the
United States to pass upon this agree
inent as soon as We reasonably can,
was the answer which Finance Minister
Fielding gave to r. J.. Borden. leader of
the opposition. when the latter had moved
to defer action on reciprocity.
First Step to Delay Action.
The motion Of Mr.. Borden was regarded
as the first step In an opposition plan to
delay ratification Of the agreement by
parliament until Congress shall have
finally pronounced upon 1t.
In support of his motion Mr.. Borden
said that nothing would be lost by delay.
The democrats who are coming into
power at Washington. were pledged to
lower the American tariff, and it was
most inopportune for Canada to confirm
the agreement at present. lie read g let

were issued ma white paper last even

ton is under date Of January %, the
day following the conclusion Of the agree
ment. In this the British diplomat says:
LAS at present advised. / am disposed
to believe that British interests are not
to any appreciable extent prejudiced.
No opportunity was lost in the
course of the negotiations of reminding
the Canadian ministers of the regard
which it was right and fitting that they
should have to the imperial interests.
The ARRANGEMENT still rests in
reality On a growing realization of the
fact that a high-tarifY wall between con-
tiguous countries whose products are

Lively Brush in Commons.

LONDON, March 9.-Every time reci-
procity Is mentioned in parliament there
is warm passage at arms Mr.. Bal
four. leader Of the opposition, and Sir
Edward Grey. the foreign secretary, had
a brush yesterday in the house of COM
mons over Ambassador Bryce. Mr.. Bal
four wanted to know what instructions
had been sent to the ambassador and
why British manufacturers had not been
consulted during the negotiations between
the United States and Canada.
The tendency would he, said the oppo-
sition leader, for the Americans to put
pressure on Canada to raise the duties
against the United Kingdom. The only
bright spot. he added, was Premier
Laurier's reiterated wish for imperial
preference.
"This question isn't dead here" he ex-
claimed warmly.
The foreign secretary replied that the
government had not sent any instructions
to Ambassador Bryce, and did not pro-
posce to, except to indorSe entirely every
thing he had done. The manufacturers,
he said, had not been consulted because
both parties TO the agreement were
deSirous of secrecy.

1.-THE President of the United States is
loyalty keeping his compact with Can
ada" replied Finance Minister Fielding,
land he has even gone to the extraordi-
nary step of calling an extra session Of
Congress to keep faith with the govern
ment of Canada. For parliament to ac-
cept the motion made by Mr.. Borden
would mean that We should have violated
our own honor. Shame OH the sugges-
ton. 1t is childish to say that each coun-
try should wait upon action by the other.
1t is our clear duty to go ahead and pro-
nounce upon this agreement"
Mr. Fielding declared his belief that
majority of the United States senator's

had been blocked by the methods OF
