On the last trip of the Elmore, he says there were 27 bairels of beer consigned to local parties besides kegs of liquid refreshment, and there may have been as many more boxes containing smaller shipments of the brew of hops. Tbe 27 barrels contained about 500 gallons of beer. The whiskey and wine shipments this week alone would give everybody in Tillamook one whole glorious week's jag.

Editor Gazette : I "I haye been impressed lately with The Oregonlan's editorial criticisms of tbe courta of oar land, and of the causes and condition wbicb are producing crime at ecucb an alarming rate. The edito rial in laat Saturday's Oregonian, under tbe caption "More Slaughter," is a gem and should be read and pondered over by every citizen of tbe country. Let na bave more of tbat kind. They ai e sure to bear good fruit. If every daily and weekly newspaper of Oregon would come out courageously and demand bettei law enforcement and better condition of affairs socially acd mo ally, it would not I e long until crime would diminish, and tbe residents of this great commonwealtb could once moie be able to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What tbe Governor, tbe Legislators, tbe Supreme and Circit Judges, tbe Dis trict Attornies, the grand juries, tbe triil juries, tbi Sheriffs and .be munici pal authorities fear most of all is public -i y and criticism in tbe public press of their wrongful official acts. If the news papers would com 3 out end severely roast every official, every law-making and law-enforciug body high or low that is guilty of perpetrating a travesty on public justice, wouldn't there soon be a mighty change in thincs legal and political? The press of the land can wield a migbfy power for wholesome, needful reform, and unless some such concerted move is made to check the tide cf " crime that Is sweeping so reck lessly over this fair land, we sbatl as a Nation soon take our proper place along side of Russia and Turkey. Just now there is more urgent need of v:ct ml tll,iv P"'"" the rualefurt x vs reform at the top than at the bottom ot j tne' now (I 10 unJ a l-vptio! tfarjati our social life. It is extremely dieeou-1 which he may escape justice, tbe aj.n raging to those newspapers, those otTi- J in growth of anarchy and disre':C cialsand those individuals who have acd contempt ir uw would soik hen r.njhinff and nmrtii-intr 1hw d , i checked ill this COllntrv. and e Wj-l.-i order, and trying to impel a greater re ef the Oregon Supreme Court, in re prieving Jtlodgett, confessed n urdtmr of his female companion, on thegronl that the District Attornry had reO,rtl briefly to other red-handed markers n his argument to the jury. Manythr esses of equal seriousness could be cited. The effects of ten years' preachtagoa 'aw observance by the press anI by iit viduals can be crushed by one oOiei.l act inch a those just mentioned. Wbe this kind of outrageous leaiencj ud maudlin sentimeot is shown the cold blooded, savage murde-ers of our coun try by those wno stand at the very head of our legal system, end to wbooi we look for inspiration and guidance i tl e dispensation of law and justice, wfjsc can we roasonably expect from Hi com mon herd of humanity, an atonis6ie proportion of whom are natural burn criminals? Such cases of leniency and the triumph of hair-splitting technicality over common justice lias a strong tern dancy to Russianize this country. The low-browed, irresponsible teyr.ii erate cmnot possibly do more to tmag on a state of red-handed anarchy i this country than do acts of the above char acter, committed by those in suprwma authority. The criminal element lithe first to notice and profit by theserTss ties on justice, and of course there is nothing surprising about tbe cheap esti mate placed upon human life in Oicm and throughout all America, fa pm portion to tbe population tbree times more murders are committed in Ameri ca today than in any other country on earth. 1b it bard to trace the cause? Tbe outrages commitied by oar coat's of justice and by the pardoning procliv ities of tbe Governor breed contempt and irreverence for law, and CTieoarsgv mob violence. We as a Nation are rcfe too much by impulse and bassioa, ud not enough by calm, deliberate judg ment. Boweyer, can we blame titm honost, hard-working. iberty-lov-rvs people for taking the law in their oa handB after the courts of just jc hxo repeatedly and persistently failed to do their plain duty in meting out justiew to law offenders? I have always been decidedly ofrponed to mob law, and am yet, and both mm newspaper editor and Sheriff at the county, I have for many years tatA& a vigorous, open fight for the enforeeaxeut of all laws on the statute books, pndor bad. Tbe quickest and best way to get rid of bad laws is to rigidly enforce tbemawbile; bnt in advocating Uiia policy the hardest struggle ot the wlwl battle is tbe coming in ontact w&it tfi extreme tenderness with whkh tiie Governor and courts deal with tie vic ious, law-breaking element. We need not look farther then Har row countr to see the work of Guberna torial delinquency. For instance, ehxwt three years ago Morrow county epeat $1500 of tbe tax-payers' bard-emrvad money to convict two horsethieves, who were sentenced to tbree yeara in tb penitentiary. In 11 racnths theywer pardoned out by tne Govei nor just after election. Another evidence tbat tbe law nd courts are being played with is the as cent "lapse of memory" of the Gavwe- cr. wLen he failed to notify the emit that be would allow three judicial toalip by, thoe throwing all pending le gation throughout the State of Oregon into a bad mix-up. This playful liitf trick will cost Morrow County aljua buodreds of dollars for holding prieanecw for five months until the next rertitr term of Circuit Court, besides cassia r endless less and inconvenience to attor neys, officials and individuals. Wisac non-partisan" lapse tbat was anjwty . No one of sound sense, of course, be lieves that this was due to an overvt. The interests and welfare of society i general are of vastly more iiuparUvjc than is the welfare of any one indivifxl or set of individuals, and if our Goww -r and our judges snd our juries vI quit temporizing and symuhazing tA c iminals, and would try as hard toj; epect ane reverence for law, to be jarred clear off tbe roost only tuo frequently by the outrageous decisions of the Gov ernor and the courts of justice. Take for example the recent pardon by tbe Governor of Oregon of Herubree, the man convited of the murder of his wife and daughter, under the most disgust ing and revolting circumstances, after the inhuman fiend bad served but one year of a life sentence. Take for another example tbe actions oin the ranks of Car.adti, Ajt uJ-a and the other law-respect:r.s co.'aJitt of the earth. Newspaper men of Oregon, a fv.tt opportunity confronts yon. Op up your powerful batteries of public itr acd turn tbem onto those high in sntari-y every time they deserve it. The Jnf nian has set a splendid pare, au4 let all follow it until our country is red-!.! from the certain fate which awiu ii ii the present trend of affairs is pecwv.vd to ccctinue, E. M. SHzrr.
