Hearst, In his Saturday night address in Berkeley, before an audi ence of 3000, read letters which will undoubtedly cause United States Sen ator McLaurin of South Carolina, and Congressman Sibley of ' Pennsylvania, to explain. Honors -were about even in this instance, politically." It all goes to show that the Standard Oil company Is no respector of parties. , Jt works both whenever the opportunity presents itself, and Hearst's letters plainly shows that there are several in each party that were not immune. The New York World (democratic). conceded the state of New York to Taft, but Its figures indicate Hughes' defeat by nearly 200,000.. Those Missourlans, "You will have to show me," were certainly accom modated for one day at least Mr. Bryan having delivered 26 speeches. OKOWTH The coming legislature will certain ly make a change In the present grand Jury system. That Is. give the prose cuting attorney additional powers If .,. not so great as was the case two years ago, then in some modified form. If very district had as fearless and as able a prosecuting attorney as there Is In this district, the former system was admirable. It not only aided In the administration ,of Justice, but it wn uch a financial saving to the coun ' ty. Take Union county, especially, where, with the exception of the time the Judge Is holding court in Wallowa county, he is here; under the former law to take up petty criminal cases at ' any time, especially wherein the de- fondant was ready to enter a plea of guilty, thus saving the county the ex pense of boarding and guarding the prisoners, often for three month, to await, under the present system, the regular meeting of the grand Jury. We recognize the fact that this power In the hands of Incapable or grafting prosecuting attorneys, would result In some cuso of miscarriage of Justice, but there should be some modification of the present system, whereby be tween terms of court the prosecuting attorney could file or dismiss Indict ments. We had an unusual Instance of the abuse of the system a few days ago. when a poor Ignorant foreigner was compelled to remain In Jail for 40 days for the theft of one apple. The prosecuting attorney knew of this , abortion, but his hands were tired he had no power. We presume the cir cuit Judge also kn.-w about It, every one about the court house wus aware 4f It for weeks, but nothing short of a report ,,f the grand Jury could release Mils man. Then are many other rea son why a district attorney should tav? ho power to enforce witnesses lo make statements to Mm under oath, end to file Indictments between terms of court. Senator Oliver is a lawyer and his experience In court would undoubted ly enublo him to draft a bill that would aid greatly In the. administration of Justice, over the present system. Let Jis bav a grand Jury with the sains bower us at pres.-nt. also a 'prosecut ing attorney with power to net between sessions of circuit court.' The grand Jury of Josephine county brought In several true bills agnlnst Violators of the local option law, and the cases are now being tried. The courts In all sections of the state are Working to the end to stamp out boot legging. Judge Kit Gerald, of Pen dleton, lust week fined 'several de fendants $500 eaih on two counts. When men begin to realize thnt for Selling a few drinks or bottles at the Most, that they will be called -upon to ray such Urue sums of money In ad dition to Jail sentences, this bootleg ging business will bo reduced to the minimum of other Infractions of the law. The old saying that "liquor will be sold anyway.'." will not hold good many more yeses In this state, whore local option Is In effect. Be patient Just a few yean. The present chnngf Is too ra li1 f(,r n few fools In every community to really. lis Klgnlflcunce. but henvy fines nnd Jnll sentences will mm educate these law-breakers to the fact thnt the local option laws are as capable of enforcement hs any other law on the statute books. Wllli,m R. Hearst seems to be hftv Ing more amusement out of his cam paign than any n. It Is nip and tuck as to which of the old parties Is the recipient of the most bouquets In OF WEALTH CAPITA. PES Doctrlat that h Poor Arc Growlig Poorer' Shows to Bo Palso.- (Frora the Los Angeles Times.) In 1820 the savings banks of the United States held $1,138,570. This was a poor country then compared with now. The amount was only an average of 12 cents for the reputation of that time. That amount of average economy was very small. Now the opte of this country have $3,690.S78,!W5 n savings banks. This is an average for the whole population of this time of over $42. The actua' depositors have an average of l2f to their credit. In 1820 only s.J5 per sons la the country were rich enough to have a savlnjrs bauk account Now When James Buchanan, the last Democratic President Jn'a long line, went Into office, there was about $100. 000.0(10 In the savings banks of the United States. By 1870, after fluting out the ,grea. w:ir, th? isjople, undei Republican nil- for twenty years, bad SMO.WiO.fKiO In the savings banks. When the next IVmocralc President took his sent in 1SS.1. the savings of the people had passed the billion point. By 1S; the savings bad doubled again. So there It Is. In 1820 there wore only about 8.000 people rich enough to have s savings bank account Now there are over 8,000.000. In 1S20 the savings were 12 cents per capita ; now they are over $12. That the poor grow poorer and the rich richer In this country Is as true as any other PopullstJc notion. GET THE ?C HABIT. COLISEUM SKATING RINK Open everv afternoon from 7:10 to 5.
