but for some reason Hazard regarded
him with suspicion. However he
didn't press his interrogations it oc-
CURED to him that a dossier of both
Bardeene's and Destin's mode of life
would be more informative than any,
thing the chief clerk would be of a
mind to tell him. So after a minute
or two of desultory conversation he
took his leave.
No sooner had he emerged upon the
sidewalk than a seedy-looking individ-
nal accosted him and asked whether
his name was Felix Hazard. He eyed
the man shrewdly, and swiftly made
up his mind that he was not factor
to reckon with. When he replied in
the affirmative the seedy man handed
him bethumbed, sealed envelope up
on which was his typewriter name.
The messenger started to SLOUGH
away, but Hazard arrested his steps
with a curt command to wait.
The second message, like the first,
was typewriter on a narrow slip Of
paper; but unlike the other the men
ace of it's purport was unmistakable.
Hazard read:

counsel-very well. Beware the con-
sequences. To clear the mystery sur
rounding David Bardeenes death will
not serve the ends of justice, but will
entail irreparable injury for people
who are innocent of any wrongdoing

The seedy individual did so as well
as he was able in his ratified state;
but the description told Hazard moth

could not identify.
After final word of warning the
detective dismissed the messenger,
who scuttled away.

JOSEPH MOSS.

Men of the character and the up
rightness and the ability of Joseph
Moss are a community's best asset
Their loss leaves q void in the civic
life though they have builded fol
themselves monuments that must en-
dure to their glory and their memory.
Joseph Moss was builder. Com
ing to Grants Pass before there was
even vision of future greatness for
the municipality to rise later upon
the banks OF the Rogue. his Judgment
bade him stop and to become NOV
ing spirit in the events to come. To
him the forests that clothed the rug

few brief years before had been
wrested from the red man; the mines
and the water power. spoke an elo-
quent tale of an industrial possibility
that. invited his endeavor and his
thought. Thirty-three years of his
life he gave to the upbuilding of
Grants Pass and Of southern Oregon.
and just as the sun Of progress SEEM
ed shedding its rays upon the district
he was called to the Great Beyond.
The hearts of the people OF Grants
Pass are filled with sadness at the
passing Of Joseph Moss. His place
was large one in the community,
and a tribute OF love and respect goes
out to his memory.

VOTING FOR JUSTICE HUGHES.

NOllNO rOR Justine nUUnEo.
The republicans of Oregon were in
peculiar position as regarded the
candidacy of Mr.. Justice Hughes. The
jurist was an unwilling candidate.
Oregon had created a law that left
Mr.. Hughes no recourse, and he was
powerless to keep his name from the
ballot when he so desired. There is
no doubt the feature Of the law was
deliberately planned, for it is an es-
sential OF the Oregon direct primary
statute. The direct primary was
made to give the people the right to
name their own candidates for office.
1t was to make possible the seeking
Of the man by the office, rather than
the characteristic hunt OF the man for
the job. II the voters are restricted
in their voting to those only who
have come out in an open hunt for the
Office, there is little left except for
them to ratify the ambition OF the
Office seeker. Then the direct or
preferential" primary loses its sub
stance.
Having made OF him an unwilling
candidate. the republicans OF Oregon
could do little else than vote for
Hughes. for to have forced him to a
slaughter would have been the climax
OF ingratitude. Those who had pre-
dilection for Hughes therefore cast
their ballots for him, and the result
was that the preponderance OF
Hughes sentiment was brought to
light. There is little doubt the same
sentiment exists largely throughout
the union, and II the people have
their say the justice will have to lay
aside his judicial ermine and lead the
republicans to victory at the polls
next November.
