TWO DIFFERENT KILLINGS OF FIVE IN A BUNCH. One Attracted Little Attention, the Other Is Nation Wide. On the 13th of this month, in Salem, Ore., a grim tragedy is to be enacted, not on the mimic stage behind the footlights, but upon the stage of real life and death. Five persons are to be manacled, bound hand and foot, and solemnly, deliberately, with aforethought, killed. It is said by some critics that the occasion is. siezed upon to bring out the spectacular in legal murder, to bring into bold relief the idea to abolish capital pun ishment. Be that as it may, I will not be a willing witness to the affair, unless circumstances- of which I now know nothing of bring me thither. Poor as I am it seems that no money in this state could tempt mo to take a hand in this social killing. There are numerous other citi zens who feel likewise. There are men in this city in commer cial life wlio could not be induced to sit on a jury tocondemn their fellow men to death. What makes it seem so ghastly is the large number at the one lime so let us look into the- matter calmly. 1 mean us who are not about to lose our lives so suddenly and vio lently. I have not a list of the names of the men who are to suff er death, nor I do I recall just when or where the crimes for which they are about to be execu- Implements and Vehicles of naliky at Right Prices MIES CATALOGUE SENT YOU UPON REQUEST ted wero committed, do not know any of tho men or even their names, so have no personal inter est in any of them. However all these men were tried under the usual forms of law and govern ment, that is society in its organ ized form seeking to protect it self by llnding these men guilty, has decreed that they shall die for the violation of law forbid ding personal violence. These men are said to be of sound mind and conscious of the assault up on persons, and through them up on society, therefore, tho' we may regret the solemn duty, it is only in self- defense that socioty pro ceeds in this matter. ThatCtlte law of self preservation is as-nm-peritive to society as a whole as to the single . individual, this seems a plain statement of the case, not an argument in favor of the execution, for personally 1 voted against, the death penalty recently, and some years ago in a neighboring state. Mow I want to present anoth er tragedy in which the death pen ally, also in fcalem, within the shadow of the stato houso. so to speak, where also five human lives were taken by organized so ciety, upon the same day, and also I in a violent manner. What crime I was charged against these five, iwill you ask, or are you entirely ' indifferent, so long as they were not or your own llesh and blood? In the tragedy about to take place the crime is murder the only one punislfabl wilh death in this state, so 1 believe is the law these criminals had the right of franchise, were a part of tho law making and executing force. In the other case, to which I would like to arouse an interest, the persons were non-voters, but per haps you are not interested in the grim tragedy, so I will not go into details, as they were persons un known to me, but the pathos has taken possesion of me, as I wish it would you. The case I refer to was even kept as quiet as possible so as not to arouse comment, it would seem. I did not not read that the governor took r.ny inter est in the matter, but perhaps his hands did not need washing in this case. : Oh' but jou would like to know who it was, or at least the hor rible crime for which these suf fered death. - The persons were a helDless woman and her four de- fensless children. The crime of which they were found guilty was POVERTY, and the extreme pen alty, death, was administered.. Have you forgotten all about it, or are you now so interested in the nasty scandal reported among our best people in Portland that you cannot stop to look into the cause of that dreadful tragedy? I am aware that the stories from our modern Sodom and Gomorrah are holding the center of the stage. It is not likely that fire and brimstone, will he resorted to purify the spot only a nice coat ing of whitewash is our modern way it is less expensive and will not intorfere'with business. And perhaps it will be necessary to find a scapegoat upon whom all sins can be laid, which will then be advertised as "a cleaning up of the town.' Then we can thank (iod we are not like the other people, or at least no worse. Portland need not think she is the only modern Pompeii, for a similar condition was reported from the sacred walls of the fed eral penitentiary at Fort Leaven worth, according to reports ob lained, and although the prosecu lion does not deny they were true, yet they have called the editors and publishers of tho Appeal to Reason into court for publishing FallGoods That Never Fall Down i Hoosier Drills Positive Forced Feed Bloom Manure Spreaders Double Steal Reach J.

We are prone to boast of our civilization, our pur ity personal and social. We pre sume to send missionaries to for eign lands which may not be a bad idea. Salt water is said to be a great puritler, so a trip across might help, and if the missionar ies minds have not undergone crystalization, perhaps they may learn something abroad if they fail to learn here. Let us leave Ihe missionary there. He may, we hope ,be surrounded with clean and wholesome persons, so some thing si gained for him and char ily is loudly calling up home, nay, greater than charity,, justice de mands our attention. So let us go back to Salem, where last spring a mother and four inno cent, clean and lovable children was waging a losing fight wilh that awful battle for bread just Ihe most common necessity of life. We are always told that our government is keeping a watch ful eye on us; that to the institu tion we are indebted to our well being. I will ask why does not this mysterious thing w:e call gov ernment keep the convent with us if we are to look to it for protec tion, why does it fail in time of our trials In the name of human ity, in the name of helpless chil dren, who are to inhabit the plan et when our laws are filled with dust, in the name of the divine life of our race, I ask, must the bitter cry of hunger be stilled with poison? I am aware that those live can never ue cn back by my feeble words, but the i f l- , 11...... iri4nrt iha causes, which put them under the owl ara irlill working OVOrtime What are we going to do about it? I am not unmindful of the groans that will be choked in the live throats at Salem, and I feel that we are only dealing with effects when the black caps are drawn over their faces. And perhaps the very moment the death trap is sprung, somewhere elese in the commonwealth the crime of mur der will be committed. Yet after all, these are grown men. It is a rule of the sea "women and chil dren llrst," so while I sit within the surroundings I call homo, my mental picture is of that tent in the back yard; my mind's eye sees the scant furniture, the fond, lov ing mother who could no longer stand between the gaunt wolf of want at her door and the flesh of her own flesh and the blood from her own heart. But she will not desert them. She takes them with her ,one by one. She writes her letter; she apoloBizes for the inconvenience she has put others to. Can you put yourself in her place? Can you feel the heart throbs as she kisses each one an ptprnal goon night? i wrote a simple" little thought on the tragedy and sent it to a Portland paper, but the waste basket halted it. What's the use? They were poor, they are dead and will pay no more dividends. A gospel merchant delivered a ser mon over those five victims of our accursed economic system but not in a church. It might have created too much excitement; some speculator might have, missed selling a town lot. Keep it dark. Perhaps you think this is so long ago why speak of It now? Bocau-se the causes are always at work to produce the same results, rndufiiner them. While you may not hear the sullen growl at your own door jusi now, you are not. safe. I am advocating a so cial and eoonomio system which I believe will abolish want for the useful members of society, at least: I sav to you my fellowman, let us reason together. Surely some better system can be found for the helpless members of so ciety. The fruits of this tree are evil. Let us tear it out. A better one can grow to bear the fruits of joy instead oi sorrow anu warn JOHN , STARK. EAQLE CREEK To the Editor: H. S.

A WORD WITH WOMEN Valuable Abvlce Fop Oregon Olty Readers Many a woman endures with noble patience the daily misery of backache, pains about the hips, blue, nervous spells, dizziness and urinary disorders, hopeless of re lief because she doesn't know what is the matter. It is not true that every pain in the back or hips is trouble "pecu liar to the sex. Whe nthe kidneys get congested and inflamed, there are many such aches and pains and the whole body suffers. You can tell if it is kidney trou ble if the secretions are dark and calored, contain sediment: the pas sages ar etoo frequent or scanty. J hen help the weakened kidneys. They can t got well alone.
