STANDARD OIL FINE.
Judge Landls undoubtedly struck a
popular chord In Imposing a fine of
29 millions of dollars on Standard Oil.
He accomplished his purpose which
was merely to call down upon his own
head the plaudits of the masses. In
cidentally, in the eyes of men who
care to stop to give the matter a little
intelligent consideration, he has made
of his court a cheap vaudeville show.
More than one-half the well-to-do
population of the United States has
investments in corporations. Accord
ing to this decisilon these invest
ments are liable to confiscation by
the Government whenever the Affl
cers of the corporation in point liap-
nen to commit a technical infraction
of the law. Such a decision, If sus
tained by the higher courts, and it
will not be, would destroy the very
foundation of our business system.
If the officers of a corporation conv
mit a crime they should suffer the
penalty imposed by law.1 It is not
ncessary, however, that thousands of
innocent stallholders and owners of
bonds of the corporation, many of
whom have never seen the officers,
should have their investments confis
cated simply because the courts have
power to confiscate them.
This is simply the "grand stand
play" of a politician-judge. No matter
who suffers or how much, Just so
the hurrah of the thoughtless popu
lace is permitted to drift from the
street through his open window to
tickle his vain self-sufficiency.
We wonder when the artful dema
gogue will cease to be an object of
worship in this fair land of ours.
BORAH AND ORCHARD NOW.
BRIDGE TO BE DOWN 8TREAM.
People-to Guarantee Money for New
... Road to structure.
United States Senator Borah is
free from his great undertaking to
convict W. D. Haywood of murder.
Harry Orchard has also a respite
in the game. The Senator will now
have time to prepare his defense to
his indictment for swindling the
United States Government; that Is
unless Immunity was a part of his
fee for conducting the Haywood case.
And Orchard will have time to pre
pare himself to be hanged for the
dozen murders to which he has con
fessed. That is, unless he has anoth
er confession to make, to the point
that he and dotective McParland to
gether manufactured the famous
story related by Orchard on the wit
ness stand. In that case either Mc
Parland must also have a hanging or
else Orchard immunity. The public
awaits with interest the next chap-tor.
County Judge Grant B, DImick
spent Sunday in Estacada where be
was kept busy by the citizens of that
town, looking at sites and approaches
of the proposed now bridge wmcn
will be built this Summer. Measure
ments were taken at the proposed
sites both in unper and lower Estaca
da, and Judge Dlmlck ascertained
that the length of the bridge would be
the same at either place, but that the
down stream site would necessitate
a new road. The people who want
the bridge moved down stream have
accordingly offered to guarantee the
necessary money for the roaa, ana to
have the funds raised by next Sat
urday. Judge Dlmlck also went over
the route of the proposed new road
from Oeoree to Estacada. which Is
only five miles over a level country.
The present mode of traveling from
George to Estacada is to go In a
roundabout way nine miles from
George to Eagle Creek, and thence
five miles to Estacada. The road
from George to Eagle Creek Is a
rough thoroughfare.

To the innumerable throng of nows

to the stony heart of an unapprecla

"first-born" daily. The proprietor
will blame the public and the public
will criticise tho proprietor. Among

tho project as the beginning of a new

But often sacrifice must precede
business success. The flower of the
army must fill the ditches that tho
remaining reglnyen'ts may march to vic

"But tho flowers that are iled

What heaven takes pity on thoso?"
People all over tho state are hungry
for more details of the colonist rates.

MANY GOING TO THE CIRCUS.
County Will Be Well Represented at
Exhibition in Portland.
The people of this vicinity will
have but one opportunity of seeing
Rlngllng Brothers World's Greatest
Shows this year, the exhibition at
Portland on Monday and Tuesday,
August 20 and 27, being the only one
to be presented near here. It is an
opportunity that all lovers of good
amusement should avail themselves
of, as the Ringling Brothers have or
ganized a circus so excellent, so large
and so full of novelty that it is above
comparison with any other show.
Foreign agents stationed In Europe
and Asia were instructed last winter
to engage every act of prominence re
gardless of cost, and the result is a
performance absolutely monopolizing
all the world's best talent. What these
agents loft for other shows to en
gage was not considered good enough
for the Ulngling Brothers to bother
with. There are over 300 performers
with the circus and 100 big acts, not
one of which any other show could af
ford to pay for. The Riccobono
horses which wear trousers, coats
and boots, and stand and walk on
their hind feet all the time they are
In the ring, are the greatest trained
animal act tho world has ever seen.
