With tho ,t teHtimony lefore the jury in con-1 nection with the circumstances I Burniunoinjf trie crime nn testi fied to ty t!ie human witnesses ; a strong case was made l,y the Btatc, in the minds of most of the dictators and quite a fear of the jurors, hut with the case Grip ped of the valuable doj- testimony there was not enouKh evidence to convict him. So that it lias in effect been held by the Court that the testimony of blood I hounds will not be comneterit evidence on which to convict, men charged with crime. pnrinj- the past year at least even men in Oregon have been convicted of first degree murder anil Hen tenced to nanff. None of them have as yet been hangei by reason of the reprieves rant ,l bv Governor WeBt to await the outcome of the bill to abolish capital punishment. All Kevcn are now in the penitentiary ut Salem awaiting execution. Then men had trials as provided by law; 12 men. good and true", bat im.m the iurv in each cuse and after considering all the evidence and thi law as given them by the Court rendered a verdict that they were foul murderers. The Court in uch case passed sen tence that thepunibhmcnt should be death by hanging, the law of tho State. Not satisfied with the verdict of the jury and the sen tence of the Court, Governor West iiK'ftin tried the canes before a greater and much larger jury, the voters of the entire state. Once again the jury has spoken in ru uncertain terms that the men must I e dealt with accord ing to our laws. In practical effect the bill to abolish capital punishment just voted vn by the! people of the entire state, wan a passing of judgment on these particular seven cases. That was the object in fact, to allow these foul murderers, to escape the pum limcnt provided by all hu man and divine laws. The ver dict cannot be mistaken. Now comes our honored Governor and waxes very sarcastic because he was not upheld in hi individual judgment by the great body of the people. He makes light of the judgment of the people in some very puerile rt marks about enlarging the execution rooms so that those people who voted to uphold the law could be present to witness the executions. Of all unworthy things for a great executive ofn great state to have said was the remarks by Gov ernor West on this question. They do not sound as though coming from a man whose cali ber is large enough to hold the important office of Governor of a state and whose duty it is to see that the laws are executed. Rath er they sound more like a child who has been compelled to mind his parents and who resents it. Much ado is being made by the Governor about the execution of the laws by different officers in various parts of the state con cerning gambling, drinking etc.. and he sets out in so many words that his is the Executive office whence comes the duty of en forcing all laws of the state. He has requested certain mayors, sheriffs and district attorneys to resign unless the laws in their particular municipalities were more strictly enforced. Now let us s. e whether or not the Gover nor of Oregon will permit his sentimentality to so far sway his judgment as to avoid an unpleas ant duty in the manner of en forcing the laws as passed upon hy the people. The ruling made by Judge I'akin in the caso of tho State vs Hurt Greene in the Circuit Court last Tuesday settles the question of the use of bloodhounds in the tracking of criminals in this county. The Judge ruled in effect that the testimony con corning dogs was not admissable m evidenco for several reasons, the principal one being that dogs could not be relied upon and that no man should have to take the risk of being convicted of a foul crime upon the evidence of a dumb brute. Dogs may be mis taken the same as men and a dog could not be placed upon the w it. jess stand to be cross examined y the man charged with a crin e. That was the ruling which caus ed the case of the etate tocoll- Wilh a Ilemocraiic President a Democratic Senate and a Dem- ocratic House, that party is in complete and absolute control of the affairs of the United States for the next four yean. They are committed to a policy of free trade. No doubt that policy will lie adopted, at leait to a ce rtain icgree, and the tariff -question which has for so many years Uen the chief difference in the great parties will now be tested to iU full capacity. It is to be tK'd that the democratic policy will not be f.o radical as to bring on n repetition of the tin es of the former Democratic adminis tration and jet the platform of the present administration is the ame as the former one. If the ii.- 1 ... . 1 . nam umes during ( ievelanu s administration wire due to the tariff policy of the democrats it can le expected to bring about the name result under Wilson's administration. If the hard times of 1MC were the result of some other cause than the free trade policy, then we may ex pect that good times will become better, and the question of free trade will forever be settled. No man ever entered the White House when the country was in lietter condition for all industrii and lines of business thanwi Woodrow Wilson. The difference, for better or for worse, will be watched eagerly by the entire civilized world. I'isil the ,,. furniture store and com imre nnr triers irith those adrerlised in I'ortluud.

To this end I woul.l suggest that every manufacturing establishment in the State close down for an hour dur ing Home Industries Day and the managers call their employes to- .1. .. ..n.i mv. them ft neari If.'Ull'l fill.. hjart talk on Knii.llnir un our home All persons who have the welfare of dependent children at heart will have an opportunity of assisting them this Thanksgiving by sending something, however' small, to the Society who aids such children and as its name implies this refers to both sexes. The boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Oregon, with its head quarters at Portland, Oregon, is an institu tion organized more than a quarter of a century ago for the care and disposition of homeless, neglected or abused children, to receive and care for them from any part of the State until suitable homes or em ployment is found for them and to continue systematic attention to their condition am! treatment until they arrive at majority. This is the noble work to which the efforts of the l!o s and Girls Aid Society of Oregon is bent. It receives, cares for and disposes of an average of about 400 children each year. Its income is derived from the State and County aid and from voluntary subscriptions and as Thanksgiving is its harvest and the time of year when nearly all its income is de rived from private sources it is cer tainly hoped that all friends will come forward and do something to aid this noble work for humanity. An extiact from its last annual report shows it had children on hand at the Receiving Home on April ::0. liUl. numbering 64, re ceived during the year ending April I!'.), 1!1' ttH.
