Apropos of tho new oalenders. some
one has suggested a calender with ev-
cry month beginning on Sunday and
ending on Saturday, of Just four weeks
duration, aud all the odd days Jumped
together at the end as holidays Re-
form is useless unlass it is aimed at
something desirable. There is not
much doubt that no one would want
TO have Christmas or New Years, or
the Fourth Of July to be changed
from just where they are.

"A Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year to all the Press readers.

Judge Ballenger Of Seattle, is the
latest to take a public crack at the
"Oregon System" The judge, who
was memher Of Taft's cabinet, in
prefaoing his speech in Portland the
other night said that, not being in
public office, he could speak "unre-
servedly" on the pitfalls of the Oregon
System. Then be proceeded TO lam
bast the system. After reading the
Judge speech, one cannot but wonder
what he meant and why he spoke at
all. The fact that be is not resident
of tie state and the system not being
applicable to him in any form, leads
right up to guess coming from the
Oregon people as to whether it makes
any difference materially, whether or
not the system suits the judge. The
longer The Oregon System is in force
the better 1t suits the Oregon people.
Only politicians find fault with 1t,
and then only when not holding office,
as witness the Acknowledgement OF the
Seattle judge in prefacing his speech
in Portland.
