It matters Utile what the ev idence shows at a trial, if a word Ik left out of an Indictment, if the court in charging a Jury through Ignorance or otherwise, makes a misstatement, . or the district attorney In presenting his arguments to the Jury in the heat m of oratory wanders off somewhat from tho Ideas of the sages In prehis toric times, the higher courts hand down mandates for a new trial, ori quash the Indictment and order the defendant set free. A cold-blooded murderer in the Willamette valley was given another trial a few days ago because tho district attorney made a nilsstu lenient In mldressing the Jury POULTRY. Tho poultry exhibit of the Oregon State Poultry association, which Is to be seen in Portland this week, la said to have brought together one of the finest collections of high-bred fowls ever seen In this state. Oregon's poultry Industry Is rapidly Increasing in Interest and Importance. The Ob server for several years lias urged to advantages that would accrue to the poultry interests of this county by tht holding of an annual poultry show.

The hind fraud rases that have ruined on (ni, .nr There honor, fortune and life, as a result nf a recent decision, has been reduced almost to a farce. From this time on, after the present cases have been ground through tho courts, there will be no more land fraud casts. Note the condition of San Francisco fraud cases: they are all at sen and It Is possible that Schmitz and Hiief will, through technicalities .of the courts, be freed. Our courts ore so techni cal that Justice Is so often tardy In being meted out, that we its a people large paper mill. It will undoubtedly bo a paying proposition. This week I we received notification that news print paper hail advanced another quarter of a cent on the pound ft are trusts and have been educated up to that degree ' Of tolerance that we have In a great measure lost our respect for the law. Just about tho time our courage be gins to rise and we begin to calmly review the situation, we note dally where some poor. Ignorant, misguided Individual Is given a sentence of from five to seven years In the penitentiary for larceny of a watch or a J40 horse, while some bank president de liberately steals by the hundreds of thousands of dollars and often mil lions, through whoso embezzlement hundreds lose nil. is given six months or possibly a three-years sentence, If he Is so unfortunate In not being able In keeping tho cane playing hide and seek back and forth among the courts until kind nature In Its mantle of charity removed him from this wicked world. It Is true the public conscience Is becoming awakened, but It would multiply more rapidly were the courts to take a more common sense view of the nctniil facts nnd not wander off on every possible excuse, to defeat the ends of Justice. , sr;t;ixn:i c.niii.ti The republicans, of I'nlon county ore taking an unusual interest In the nom inee for slierlff this year, and were apparently at sea until someone sug gested K. V. luvls. who will Boon re tire from the land office, contained nil of the necessary qualifications to place that ofrice upon the business piano which the position demands. The sheriffs office has changed with the times, once It required the most bloodthirsty Indlvldui.l whose expected duty It was to corral the cattle rustlers and lone highwaymen and keep the peace between the knights of the green cloth when the stakes were Mgh, but that is ancient history -In fact, uhvays was overdrawn. -Now the principal duty and responsibility Is the collection of the taxes. In other words, the office today requires that the sheriff be personally capable of knowing that hto records are prop erly kept. It hns only been the past three years that 1'inntlllA county and Baker county sheriffs were short many thousands of dololrs. which tluy trusts, but the paper trusts of this country need not take their hats off to any. Portlund Is to commence the con struction of n 13-story building, and It Is quite possible Hint another story or two might be ndd-d before It Is completed if some enterprising Seattle newspaper man would suggest that Seattle had In view a 16-Htory struc ture. The next reform that the people will demand will be that United States senutors und congressmen exert their energies In legislation and not ns to who shall be "It" In the distribution of the federal pie.
