And so with the relatives of Hogg.
They must live under this cloud he
lias made for himself. So far as he
personally Is concerned there 6hould
not be the slightest feeling of sym-
ipathy; he deserve not the kindly look
for the eye of a fellowman. But the
mother and the "sisters are entitled to
the"symiuthy they are now receiving.

THE HOGG VERDICT. "
Anyone who watched the proceed
ings In the case of the state vs. Hogg
could not have been surprised at the
Jury's decision. While there were some
features that might have been bended
to aid the accused man, yet the pre
ponderance of evidence was against
Mm and it seemed where there was
so much smoke there must necessar
ily have been .some fire.
The charge, was so revolting that
anything leading to the guilt of the
man scored ten points against him
whereas under almost any other
charge it would have scored but one.
Ilia criminal record was also a thing
'.o overcome and his entire life had
uewi ' spotted in places wmcn was
bound to make impressions on , the
mlnd9 of the men who wiere called
upon to decide his case.
Eat there Is a pathetic side to the
Hogg matter, and as usual it is on the
aide of the mother and sisters who
till believe in him. The trying fea
ture of court life is not so much the
feeling for the criminal but for 'those
who have nursed him into this world,
who have watched over him tenderly
through infancy, who have, cuddled
him in babyhood and sang the usual
mother'" lullaby to him. To the poor
soul who has thua brought into this
world a degenerate the heart of man
kind offers eympatby. liven a strang
er, cannot, help feeling a thrill of
pathetic kindness under such circum
stances' for the mother who stands at
the bar of Justice and sees her off
spring: sentenced to prison. To her
he la still the cooing baby, the young
boy with his stick horae and tops and
marbles, for her life is pure and she
cannot conceive how it would be pos
sible for the boy to do what he has
been charged with. The speeches of
the attorneys and the court are lan-
g-uage not to be understood by a lov
ing mother. All she Knows of the
case is that .lt is her boy and there
inust-. be something: wrong ; in the"
charge. She clings to the hope that it
will , all , be righted,; even though he t
goes to prison,', believing' that "ime
alone will prove his innocence, i Thus '

Those who propelled the Chautau
qua craft this year should In no way
be discouraged. The event practically
broke even In a financier way, but it
did much to establish Itself permanent
ly. The second year of Chautauqua is
still a portion of the nursing period
and every Institution of size and worth
must necessarily pass through that
period. It must meet with minor ob
stacles, chief of which Is lack of
funds, and if the different Chau'tauquas
will be studied it will be found the
one has had less of this o contend
with than most of them. '
But Chautauquas when properly
managed, grow despite the backsets.
There is something about them that
Mnri fvi permanency even , though
the column of figures foots "up in red
ink. And La Grande can congratulate
herself on a successful second year.
The third season will likely be self
sustaining in every particular and
that means that all fear forthe future
shall bs eliminated and the Chautau
qut as an Institution will stand firmly
on Its own feet. The benefit to be de
rived trom it is not this year nor next
alone, but constantly In the future. It
is a splendid achievement each yea?
