It Is full time that thought be giv en to the wave or homicide and ul clde that has Ihh'H sweeping over Ore gon the. past few week, says the Cot tage Grove Sentinel. Kvery day the press Is called upon to chronicle an act of murder or self destruction, and In most cases no cause at all Justi fying or even satisfactorily explain ing the act is discovered. This Is aside fiom the homicides that are as sociiited wirti Ihe commission of some other crime. There are those who hold thai planetary Influences afreet the human mind, or create con ditions which affect It. ThcBe In fluences bring about periods of ab normality, sometimes above and sometimes below, in the latter In stance resulting In a great Increase In crime of all kinds. Whether such it theory has any foundation In truth or not docs not alter tho fact thai whatever can he done to check these crimes ought to be undertaken. Be lief that certain iierlods are more fav orable to the commission of murder than others does not require a fat alistic acceptance of results, any more than tho fart that certain season of the year are more favorable than others for some diseases Justifies fail ure to combat them at those times Laying aside all speculation about planetary, climatic and psychologi cal causes, may clearly sco two great conditions that are existent at till times which are powerful factors In the multiplying of homicides. One of these is tho frequency of killings for what seem trivial reasons and the lulrequency of punishment for them. Tho other Is tho weapon carrying and weapon owning custom so general in almost all classes of society. Responsibility for the failure to punish crlmo through the processes of the courts Is so diffused and so ninuy-hlded. that II Is impossible to ' settle upon uny one thing and say that this Is the cltler offender, or upon any one reform that would work a radical change. Much of It might he covered by saying our courts nre loo highly technlcnlized to coin a word suitable to the (bought. In all our courts the form Is being ex ulted above the Hubstance. This llnds Its support In loo close tulherenco to precedent, and as lime passes these barriers to slmplei forms and to ac cess lo the Inherent merits or cases become so strong that they can only be swept away by positive legislation. .Much of this technicality Is based upon an exaggerated Idea or tho rights of defendants and n far, too low an estimation of the rights, of society. Low standards of profes slonal ethics held by both tho bench and bar are also responsible for this paralyzing dominance of technicality, and for general court inefficiency There nre otlier causes, such as the poor quality of Jurors and our sys tem of selection of them, which auto matically guarantees the poorness of the quality. And tho weight given by most Juries to the so-called unwritten law, which Justifies murder when-1 evor tho murderer can make It appear that the victim had wronged him. It Is a sentiment which surrenders back Into the hands of tho lndlvldual the right of private vengence which so ciety took away from him for the protection of the weak and for the general welfare. The mere mention of these great fundamental reasons for the practical failure of the courts to punish crime Is enough to show ihe dlnVulty of overcoming them. It requires a ureal change In sentttnenl and menial al iunde on the part of the people us a whole, for Judges and lawyers anil juries are from the body id the people and, broadly speaking, think and feel Kill KAI.K.

There should be no such delay In the matter of reform of the weapon habit. If one will cast Ihe mind back along the bloody Hail of the oast few months, ho will scarcely note a case of homicide or suicide, complete or attempted, where the weapon was not In the possession of aomo person who had no real legiti mate use for It. Often the person was a habitual carrier, rnfortunate ly, accidents can be Included In thin summary. Revolvers kept In the house on the erroneous theory that they serve as a protection from bur glars are Included In the list of those not legitimately needed. The ruinu efiu scarce Iv recall an Instance where they performed this proteectlvo func tion, bill easily remembers tne scores of times when they furnished the es-ar-ntlnl of a murder, sulcldo or fatal accident. As for Ihe weapon carried. In tho pocket, no pretense, oi junu Ibutloi; for the habit can be made, but a multitude of reasons can be given why It Bhould not bo permit led. Here, at least, a reform Is iirntilrable, and It la a reform that would show results In a very short time In lessening the number of horn Icldes and suicides and In reducing the burden of excess of crlmo piles ii poii the tax payers.
