RQ8EBURQ, OREGON, SATURDAV, OCTOBER 14, 1922,
THE PHILLIP YVARREX ACQUITTAL.
i The acquittal of Phillip Warren, an Indian, at Dallas, Oregon,
I Thursday of this week, reminds one that the results of a trial jury
: are mighty hard to foretell. The Indian had been accused of kill-
inif two prohibition enforcement officer. There seemed little
; doubt in the minds of the jury that murder had been c-unmitted.
' But regardless of the ruthless slaying of the two officers the trial
: ;ury did not make murder the paramount issue when arriving at a
verdict, -i They viewed the evidence and returned a veuUct from
f.n entirely different angle.
Attorneys for the defense told the jury and the evidence in-
troduced at the trial seemed to support these allegations that.
Warren had been "treated" and "groomed" by the prohibition en
forcement officers with the very stuff that they, the prohibition
officers, yre or should as respectable law-enforcement men, never
;errnilttfl to enter into the case.
Here is a bit of evidence that rested heavily with the jury,
and, no doubt, was responsible for the verdict rendered :
"Allegations of the defense counsel that Warren was . t
given liquor by the revenue officers he is accused of kill
ing In order to trick him into giving or staling them liq
uor, and the testimony supporting this allegation given
by Henry Petite, another Indian, who was with Warren
on tlio night of the double killing, were easily the out
standing features of the trial."
The jury that listened to the evidence in the Warren murder
trial lost sight of the fact that two men had been murdered out
right. Hut they did not lose sight of the evidence introduced
fhowtng that the Indian had been "tricked" Into his difficulties
by the generous use of moonshine supplied at the hands of the off
icers: making the arrest. Therefore, the 12 men who sifted all the
evidence introduced, had greater respect for the alleged murderer
than they did for the men who had used trickery to gain an ad
mission of guilt on the pnrt of the Indian.
This is a profound lesson to officers-who nre adept at using
methods8iich as those applied in the case of the Dallas Indian.
In the past, not only among prohibition enforcement officers, but
others as well throughout the state, there teems to be a tendency
to use underhanded methods to secure convictions for various
crime. These acts on the part of the minions of the law when
; enlarged upon by the defense have a very "soothing" effect on a
; trial jury, as evidenced by the recent verdict rendered at Dallas.
, It Is not becoming of any officer to bait his hook with the evi
dence upon which ho expects to gain a conviction. He should go
before the courts with a clear "bill of lading." He is not employed
by the state to create bootleggers any more than officers are em
: ployed to create murderers.
If this procedure is not checked we will soon be holding up the
; dtopenser of illicit whiskey as a paragon of perfection compared
to officers who are elected and appointed to enforce the law. The
"verdict returned Thursday at Dallas in a glaring reflection on
those two men who lost their lives in an effort to trap an alleged
lxtollegger. This should sound the death. knell to future activi
ties of this kind, if the laws of the country and state are jo be held
inviolate. Otherwise there may Ik many repetitions of the ver
dict delivered at the recent murder trial.
HOW A STRANGER .H'DGES A LIVE TOWN
f .
When the stranger within our gates or afar picks up a copy
of the daily edition of the town's newspaper, it is not that he wants
to know so much about political affairs in Europe, or the exact
status of the situation in England or the Orient, but he is interest
ed in local conditions, and wants to know what sort of a place he j
is in, or may be going to. The first thing he does, therefore, is to
run his eye over the advertising columns, and by these silent ap-;
peals for business he gauges opinion. We take it that every bus
iness man is interested in his home town, that he wants to set
things move, and is anxious to secure more trade. If he is that
sort of a man, !clicvcs in his town, has faith in the gtxxls he is
selling, the only sane thing he can do is to yet? to it that his name
appears in the newspaper in a business way every day in the year.
It may be that not more than a two-lino space is used, but the name
and business should be there, because it is a help toward securing
more business for himself, and indirectly is a material aid in
building up the town, making for better conditions for everylx-dy.
The nwspaper wants to respect all business interests of the town,
but if any individual business concern declines to pei it such
representation it then becomes a sort of broken cog in the progres
sive macliinerr of the city. A newspaper is' not quite like any
other sort of business. When once established in a good, liv
tow n it goes t il forever as a public necessity. Other bi; .mcs-.
concerns may start up, their owners become wealthy and i log
out. Not so with the newspaper. U tnav change management
occasionally, but day after day the presses rumble off the edi
tion. Perhaps the editor may tread on some one's toes, but the
public wants to know all about events, so the editor goes on the
even tenor of his way, trusting that individuals will come b know
that the people are entitled to hear about happenings, pleasii.t or
otht rwise. If the editor starves out, some one takes his place and
publi.vhes'the paper, takirg chances itli public opinion. At t i n s
:,oir,e peeved individual may even kill an editor such thiiiy-i !,o
happened, bin when you attempt to kill off an established i.ew
1 aper, it it u hopeless job ami you better me it mj, for smri tl.i.v
that newspaper will publish your ebituarv and you will be S i-irotten.

It is said by sponsors of the compulsory school education bill
that parents of wealth under our present system of educational
facilities have advantage over those of lesser means. That bet
ter private tutorship is given children by parents of wealth. This
may all be true and those persons who are financially able should
have the privilege of educating their off-spring in any manner
hpv mav choose. There is only so much in every boy and girl
i to be brought to the surface.
i system is that too much thought is given to cramming and not
enough to the "bringing out" process.
We are patiently waiting for the New Jersey officers to throw
some authsntic light on the recent murder in that state. It may
be possible that Douglas county officers will be requisitioned to
unravel the mystery as they were called upon to do in a recent
murder case in this county.

Mayor Walter Hamilton is not going to be a candidate for
re-election. If anybody thinks the job is a snap just ask Walter.
But, regardless of all the difficulties serving the dear people at
one's own personal expense Mr. Hamilton hasmade a mighty
fine official.

A young man was fined $300 yesterday in Roseburg for hav
ing a pint of moonshine under his bed. Wonder what he would
have got if the liquid had been' under his belt? Blind staggers,
probably.

The flapper is coming into her own. Some distinguished
writer has stated she will make a good mother. He failed to say,
however, vhat particular kind of a dog she would take unto her
l:eeping.
o
Don't forget that Roseburg is to have a city election in the
very near future. There are no issues here only better govern
ment. But better government is a mighty important issue at
all times.

It is our candid opinion the best way to make a monkey of a
