Oregonians in common with he citizens of many other states, may justly protest against the ioo free and easy exercise of the .pardoning power. Criminals who have committed every felony in the catalogue of crime, whose presence in any community is a constant menace to the peace, property and lives of orderly, 2!iw-abiding, reputable citizens are convicted, usually after great efforts and expense, only to be set free and again given oppor tunity to prey upon the commun ity. Everyone knows how difficult it is to apprehend and convict scriminals who have wealth, or political or family influence at their backs. Offenders having "the aid of these are able to em ploy all the arts of chicanery in their defense and so escape the penalties which just law t provides for their punishment. "J3ut even though such offenders inay be convicted and placed be hind prison bars there is no as surance they must abide the penalty meted unto them. Presently an appeal is made to .the pardoning power and their prison doors are unbarred. So long as maudlin sentiment snay assume the garb of humane benevolence, so long as the ."pardoning power rests with men deficient in moral course, wc r -shall see the power itself grossly ixbused, justice thwarted and s-scber-mindod citizers humiliated. .'G&tainly courts do not admin ister, justice hoping to see their judgments overridden, neither do the people elect a governor ..that he may achieve notoriety by frequent exercise of the pardon JUng power. It is not probable the people -would, nor do we think they should consent to the elimina tion of this power from our juris prudence, but it is evident it should b.i greatly restricted in its exercises, and placed in the shands of those less likely to be amoved to its exercisa by any con sideration save that of doing .Justice. rURE DEVILIsHNESS. Good children should be a ssource of satisfaction to their f oarents and there is no doubt Isut they are in 99 cases out of XGO. But all children are not :jj2?sod. In some instances the parents are to blame; in others rthei,' are net. Where parents rJ!iave'done their duty fully by coheir progeny they are, indeed. fio be pitied rather than censured -if their children go astray from .the paths of righteous ways. In most boys there is a strain of devilishness that is hard to eradicate. In a fairly self-respecting- boy there is some re gard shown for the fitness of his pranks; some glimmer of reason which controls him and : sounds the alarm when he has 2:001 e far enough. But the boy or young man, or an old one for -.that matter, who has no alarm bell to his conscience is a hard proposition in any community, look at the matter however leniently one may. Unfortunate y wa have a few of this class. A few days ago some bos "busied themselves out at the neservoir of the mountain water astern on "Baldy" hill. They1 -went to work and dammed up the over-flow drain sa that the water ran over and down the sides of the reservoir making it easily possible for the sides to becorae soaked and softened to tsuch an extent that they Bright ;3:ive way under the great pres sure of water. This may have been the prank, of pure ignorance, -but it does not seem so. Unadulterated cussedness" seems nearer what prompted such a caper. If the boys were large enough to be out at Baldy" and were large enough to do a thing of this nature they were old enough to know better than to do so. It looks like a case where a real good hazel, or some similar in strument ol corrective qualities, used by the firm hand of a de termined "dad" would not only be fitting and a splendid thing for the boy, but a safe guard for public property. We suggest that the parents of Cor- yallis boys make a little inquiry and try an! ascertain if some of their beloved ''little men" chanced to have been seen hover ing about the reservoir during recent days. Worried About Fuel. anxiety among residents in re gard to their fuel supply for the coming winter, and while every one is endeavoring to secure the usual amount of wood the ques tion arises, ''From whence is the required amount to come?" The condition is due to the fact that men who foimerly en gaged in the wood chopping Business are now receiving bet ter wages at other kinds of work and refuse to hire out in the wood camps. Help in every line is scarce, and doubly so where the wages offered are necessarily lower than those afforded in other occupations, and this will certainly mean that there will not be enough wood cut and ready for market this fall to fill the woodshed in Corvallis. And while some people have declared their intention .of getting oil burning stoves they have never carried their idea unto practice, so that wood -has always been and will doubtless remain the "standby," in case it can be procured, which is now the prob lem that vexes consumers. Fire at Lebanon. A disoa .ch from Lebanon Wed nesday says: An attempt to burn the fine college bulding at bodaville, resulted in failure, from some strange cause. Fire was started in two places. Under the stair landing in the corner of the build ing the fire got a good start and burnt out a space of several feet in the floor and a large hole in the wall, and then either was put out or went out. In another place a bole two feet square was burnt out but the wall was only scorch ed. Some think it the work of children, who, when .they saw what they had done, put it out, while others think it incendiary. Still others think it is the woik of an insane person. No reason can be given, as no bad feeling is known to exist. The build ing cost about $5,000 and has only $1,250 insurance. To Restore Faded Colors. Babies' colored frocks and coats often become faded after being washed a time or two. Get a few cents' worth of salts of lemon and scald it.

Baird was se verely wounded. The early winter night was creeping over the field ol battle, and Hope, gallant soldier though he was, judged it prudent tc stay his hand. Soult had beer roughly driven hack. The transports were crowding into the harbor. It was enough to have ended a long re treat with the halo of victory and to have secured an undisturbed em barkation. Meanwhile Moore had been car ried into his quarters at Coruna. A much attached servant stood with tears running down his face as the dying man was carried into the house. "My friend," said Moore, "it is nothing I" Then, turning to a member of his staff, Colonel Ander son, he said: "Anderson, you know' I have always wished to die in thia way. I hope my country will do me justice." Only once his lips quiver ed and his voice shook as he said "Say to my mother" and then stop ped, while he struggled to regain his composure. "Stanhope," he said as his eyes fell on his aid-de-camp's face, "remember me to your sister" the famous Hester Stanhope) Pitt's niece, to whom Moore was en gaged. Life was fast and visibly sinking, hut he said, "I feel myself so strong I fear I shall be long dy ing." v But . he was not. Death came swiftly and almost painlessly. Wrap ped in a soldier's cloak, he was car ried by the light of torches to a grave hastily dug in the citadel at Coruna, and far off to the south, as the sorrowing officers stood around the grave of their dead chief, could he heard from time to time the sound of Soult's guns, yet in sullen retreat. That scene is made im mortal in Wolfe's noble lines: Pew and short were the prayers we said, And we spoke not a word of sorrow. But we steadfastly gazed on the face that was dead. And we bitterly thought of the morrow. We thought as we hollowed his narrow bed And Smoothed down his lonely pillow That the foe and the stranger would tread o'er his head, And we far away on the billow. Cornhill Magazine.
