USII."n ,lBt Mr Klhcrt Carter, a post gr.i hate student at Yale niailc a study of lynching in the I'nited States du i inn the last Jl years. His paper is inter. sting. It shows, in the first place, the fallacy of the idea that m.ist of the victims of Judge Lynch are negroes. Of the Il.J ' lynching that took place in the country be tween January 1, 1"-, and January I, l'.HK!, aKuit three-eighths, or 1. -')'", were white persons, 10 not st.i v I. and 1.S72 negroes. This gives a yearly aver age uf 8'.' colored and "'. white persons. Of the total it is surprising to note that tI were women, the ue presses numbering This is one of the most strik ing facts brought out. for the execution of a woman js net onlv so abhorrent that the death penalty is now seldom imposed by the courts, hut it seems an exceed ingly rare occu-reiice for the summary execution of a woman to be chronicled in the public prints. How ever, Mr. Cutler's figures arc undoubtedly correct. Of the total number of negroes lynched, only ;; per cent, severed for the crime of rape , smaller proportion than is generally supposed. The digest of tint paper which has readied us does, not s'n!- however, whether combined outrage and murder is included in the li.-t under the former or the latter heading. In the South, very curiously, the months of January, February August and November are marked ,y few lynehings The most occur in iKeember, when the holiday season incites the negroes to idleness and festivities that re sult in violent crimes. White men lynched for rape (institute l'l fT cent of the total. Mr. Cutler's .statistics are more interesting than the d dti -tion he draws. It ij, however, somewhat sig nilicant that few lynehings (cur in states where mur di rcrs 'are promptly tried, convicted ami sentenced, and that the number of lynehings since lOl has show n a steady decrease. 1'erhaps the strnnge.-t de terrent to the excesses of mobs that has yet been found is a law making the county responsible in damages to the family of the victim. TiiK people, for whose direct benefit and relief the referendum amendment was enacted, have failed to invoke the law on any legislation within the required statutory time. Signers to petitions for the reference! of the Lewis v Clark Fair bill, 'lhe Ibilles portage railway, the corporation tax bill nnd the tav exemp tion act, lacked by approximately "JHH signers the number necessary to cause any one of the measures to be submitted to the people. Some question existed as to the constitutionality of the amendment but all con-! trovcrsy ov-r the legality of the uct has been deferred , for the "present at hast because of the failure of those j desiring to place the referendum in operation to obtain ( the required number of petitioners to accomplish the; relerence of any legislative ad There was during ll of the controveisy on the subject serious doubt that; the referendum, under the construction of its own pro-; vision.-, could be applied to any a.'t of the legislative sosjon at which it was enacted. One regrctlab'c i-ir-. cumstaueo aUut the referendum is thai the initial-, though futile attempt to employ the act should be di-. reeled against an institution of such great worth to the ' slate and every citizen as is the Lewis A Clark K.po-j sition.

Hkkman.n will be elected and by a good major ity: hut to give him such a majority as is due from this district, nil KepuMiciins must get to the polls next Monday. Clackamas county must do Imt share Kvery Republican voter in this county should consider it his privilege and duty to go to the polls in his pre cinct Monday and vote for the regular Republican nominee. That is the only way to support the Na tional administration. If individual voters do their part June I, Clackamas county will be found in the Republican column as usual with the average major ity for progress and an endorsement of the National administration. In the te ndir.g controversy over the South Kiel road as to the feasibility and practicability of its con struction, the Enterprise has no personal intere-ts other than should the local paper of any community have. At the outset of the discussion, this paper took the s'tand thatjr.he building of any road into this city, it matters not from what direction it comes, so long as it opens up to the city u new section of county, is a ljenefit to this city. The Enterprise still contends that hi position is correct. It is now up to the mem bers of the city council to determine if the expense of building the proposed road is justified by the increased tr;.de and benefits in a commercial way that will ac crue to the city in its construction. There are some citizens w ho honestly differ with us in this opinion and fjuefjtion the advisability of constructing the road at this time. The main opposition to the plan comes from the Southern Pacific Company, which has threat ened to enjoin any attempt to build a road that will cross its tracks in this city. A dispute as to the ex tent of the right of way that was granted to the South ern Pacific Company is now pending in the supreme court. Having been given the use of one of the streets of the city for its track, this company now assumes to dictate whether or not the city dare cross its track. In its contention, the Southern Pacific Company can only be actuated by (selfish motives and a desire to control a monopoly of the street over which its track extends. The attitude of this corporation towards the proposed road is making friends for the road. It seems a pity that the city should dare assert iU rights in the premises. Conokkssionat, Committkeman Uyan reports that a canvass of Clackamas county reveals a favorable out look for Mr. Herman, who will have the usual Repub lican majority in this county. The Democrats are employing every influence to carry this county lor Reames. Republicans and progressive citizens of every party cannot afford by any negligence on their part to make possible such a thing. It is simply a business proposition so far as this community is con cerned. Oregon City wants a public building and the Willamette river is in need of improvements in this section. In event of his election, Mr. Herman has given his promise that he will do everything in bis power to accomplish both of these things for this part of the district. Clackamas county has a normal Re publican majority of 4o0, and we certainly cannot af ford to have that majority reduced. Failure of the Hepublicana to carry this county for Mr. Herman, Thk Jews of this city raised about lloO that has will prove disastrous to the interests of the people of been forwarded to their suffering kinsmen in Russia. Cm o o An active interest in the Lewis it Clark fair is being taken by the women of the entire state. Over thirty women's clubs have been formed in the interest of the ExjKisition. The purpose of these organizations is to encourage the making of exhibits at the Eair, the col lecting and preserving of historical robes and land marks and the promoting of the civic improvement of their respective localities. Woman's co-operation in puhlic enterprises is essential to satisfactory results. Okkoo.n City will follow its usual custom and hold a grand Fourtli of July celebration again this year. The falls city regularly celebrates this glorious anni versary and this year as in the past extends a cordial invitation to the people of the surrounding country to remain disengaged for the day and join with us in Yhe proper observance of this anniversary and what it means. Mr. Rkames has solicited the votes of dissatisfied Republicans on the ground that he can do no harm i elected so far as affecting the political complexion of the National legislature. The Democratic candidate may be under-rating bis ability and has plenty of company in the classification to which he has assigned himself. Rut the first district will elect a man who can do something and something worth while. It may not have been generally noticed but all of the laws enacted at the last session of the legislature went into effect on the day that President Roosevelt O visited Oregon City. 3 f M !!!!
