juggling of lawyers with the law his case even being
appealed on utterly frivolous grounds to the supremo
court of the United States. It is not alone that long
and complicated trials cost th state and county thou
sands of dollar in each case; it is not alone that jus
tice delayed loses its deterrent force, but each trial in
creases the liability that the criminal may escape on
a "technicality." He is allowed, of course, to take
advantage of every such point, w hile none may bo
counted against him. His attorn ys may have made
scores of mistakes; if he is aojuittod he is safe; if the
public prosecutor makes one error, it means a new
lease of a lSd life, or even the treeing of the guilty.
Thus society arms its enemy. Sui Francisco Argonaut.

FREE LOCKS W ANTE IV
A 'movement has been started over the valley, hav-
ing'as its ultimate object the government ownership
of the Willamette iocks at Oregon City. Already we
see the commercial bodies of Salem, Independence and
other representative river points discussing free locks
. , , . ...... i '
ana trie best means to attain tnai ena.,
The desirability of free locks is so evident to every
shipper in the valley, especially the farmer, that it
really seems a question with but a single phase. Free
locks would remove the extra tollage on every pound
of freight passing up or down the river, a bounty paid
directly by the navigation company, but which in the
final comes out of the pockets of the shipper. If boat
freight rates fall, a like reduction would be compulsory
to the railway companies.
Government engineers have at times recommended
government ownership of the locks, so that the pur -
chase should be fairly easy to accomplish. Once free
locks it will be much easier to influence legislation for
the improvement of the Willamette, as the tonnage
will bo easily increased three-fold, and more prestige
will be given to the claims for legislation for its im
provement. Injustice to valley shippers the government owes it
to them to grant free locks. The Columbia is free for
navigation, and thousands upon thousands will be
epent in further improvements in the next decade.
Our claims for recognition are certainly as meritorious
as those coming from Eastern Oregon.
We are preparing figures to show in detail the ben
efit of the proposed change. However, as the matter
now stands the points along the river must unite in
petitioning congress through our Washington delega
tion to further the measure. Already Portland, Sa
lem and Independence have signified their intentions
to work for free looks, but more vigorous action is nec
essary. Let the shippers unite in the demand and
there is every reason to believe it will be granted.

JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED.
In May, 1SS9, one Dougall, a retired officer of the
Royal Irish Fusiliers, murdered, at Moat House Farm,
England, Miss Camille C. Holland, a woman of wealth
and talent, and buried the body in a ditch in the yard
The place was a lonely one; the woman eccentric and
without relatives or intimate friends; there were no
witntsses of the crime; and so, for foup years, Dougall
went free. But, on April 27th last, the woman's body
was discovered. In May, the murderer was appre
hended. In June, he was tried and convicted. On
July 14th, he was hanged. Between sentence and
death but three weeks elapsed; between arrest and the
jjallows but three months.
This sure and swift administration of justice is no
exceptional thing in England. It would excite no as
tonishment in France, or, indeed, in any Continental
country. It is taken for granted there that guilty
men shall be promptly punished. But how about the
United States? Would it not, we may ask, be here
eoruething of a legal miracle for a man to be convicted
of a crime four years past, on circumstantial evi
dence? And even if he were finally sentenced, how
long and intolerably tedious would be his trial! In
auch a case as this, it is easy to imagine with what
adroitness the felon's lawyers would have secured de
Jays and postponements on "technicalities,'' am have
Appealed again and again, while, meantime, witnesses
died or mysteriously disappeared, evidence vanished
into thin air, anatomical experts quarreled over skele
ton rninutia; and beclouded the question of identity, a
sensational press took sides, and reports that the
"murdered"' woman had been seen alive were tele
graphed daily from various enterprising towns of the
interior. Here in California it has even taken years to
convict assassins whose guilt was confessed or beyond
shadow of a doubt. Look at the case of William Fred
ericks, who entered a bank in broad daylight, on one
of the principal streets of this city, and shot down the
young cashier in cold blood for a few pa'try dollars.
He was guilty beyond peradventure caught with the
reeking pistol in his hand. Yet it required one year
and four months for tardy justice to overtake him.
And even then it was the "record" in speed for Ca i
fornia! Worden, who derailed a train of cars and
murdered the engineer and several soldiers, enjoyed
life and health at the expense the state for more
than three years. And nobody has forgotten how the
A SomiKKX Pacific brakem.in has sued the cor

of all kinds are good, wages were never better. With
these conditions, there is every prospect of increased

Scci KssKi'L beyond all previous efforts will be the
street fair and carnival to be held in this city the lat
'.er part of September. The enterprise has been
launched and sufficient financial support has already
been assured to make of the affair a splendid success.
As a good investment, business men of the city can
well afford to subscribe for several shares of stock in
the company that has been formed.
The great scarcity of vacant houses in Oregon City
in mid-summer Fpeaks well for this community. At
the present time, scarcely an unoccupied house is to
be found within the limits of the Falls City. This
condition in the winter months would not be so sur
prising but that such should be the case at this the
most quiet season of the year, attests the popularity
of Oregon City as a residence place.
The Oregon City schools will open for the year's
work on Monday, .September 21. This is the week
following the close of the state fair when practically
all crops will be harvested so that the attendance
should not be interrupted. Miss Clark, the newiy
elected city superintendent, has the work outlined
and grade teachers assigned so that everything augurs
well for a most successful year.
Agitation for government ownership of the Oregon
City locks has been renewed and the commercial
bodies of points up the Willamette will strive to bring
about 6uch a change. The tollage charged by the
present owners of the locks for freight is warranted by
the expense of keeping up the property. Where any
great advantage to the producer will attend the gov
ernment acquisition of this property seems uncertain.
At any rate it is believed that the electric company
which owns the locks would gladly dispose of their
interests whenever a reasonable figure is made.
Death by drowning is sad under any conditions
but when the victim is siezed by cramps and help
lessly sinks before companions, an element of greater
adness is added to the unfortunate ending of a life.
The sudden and untimely taking away last week of
Perrin Latourette by drowning in the Abernethy was
a great blow to the parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. La
tourette. Bright, vivacious and promising was Per
rin, the youngest son, whose popularity as a congenial
whole-souled little fellow extended through a wide
circle of young companions. In their hour of
deepest bereavement, the family has the sincere sym
pathy of the community.

There is regularly a relapse in business activity in
all lines during the months f July and August.
Farmers are kept at home because of the harvest sea
son while the city people leave in quest of recreation
at the seaside and in the mountains. During the past
week the writer has been talking advertising with the
local merchants but he could not interest them to the
extent that they would advertise their wares during
the quiet summer months. "What is the use of ad
vertising now when business is so very quiet?" queried
one merchant. We argued with him that when busi
ness is quiet is the time above all other seasons of the
year when the merchant should do some judicious
advertising. That is the time to write attractive ads,
offer rare mid-summer bargains, special sales make
it an inducement for the shopper to visit your store
and you will find that the returns will be surprising.
Advertising is the lubricating oil, of any buBineb and
does the most good when it is moet needed.
