FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1905.
ENFORCE OR REPEAL.
The hanging at Salem last week of
a young man for the murder of his
mistress in this city ten months ago
was the sad termination of a mis
spent life that reaped its certain re
ward. It was natural that sympathy
for the youth should he expressed,
but it was only right that the judg
ment of the court be carried out as
it was. Cold-blooded and premeditated
murder should not go unpunished.
The statutes prescribe a penalty for
the crime and it is the duty of the
court to see that the punishment is
inflicted.
The constantly increasing tendency
to entirely disregard the provisions
of many of the laws on our statute
books Is a dangerous practice. Noth
ing lends more encouragement to the
violation of city ordinances and state
laws that the non-enforcement of ex
isting laws. Right here in Oregon
City there are a number of city ordl
nances, that are Head-letters, in that
their provisions are laughed at and
.ignored altogether. The same is true
in county and state. If conditions re
quire the enacting of certain legisla
tion, those same conditions expect en
forcement of that legislation. Either
enforce or repeal ordinances and laws.
Terminate this practice of juggling
with our laws and trifling with their
partial and farcical enforcement.
O
ADVERTISING THE COUNTY.
The Enterprise this week began
work on 25,000 32-page pamphlets by
the distribution of which through the
agency of the Oregon City Board of
Trade, this section of the Willamette
Valley will receive a great deal of
beneficial advertising. Besides being
typographically attractive, the pamph
let will contain much information re
garding the resources and possibili
ties of Oregon City and Clackamas
county. The various industries are
treated separately and by persons fa'
miliar with the cultivation of each.
Numerous illustrations showing farm
and orchard scenes will add to the
value of the pamphlet.
NEW SECRETARY OF STATE.
TREATMENT OF DUMB ANIMALS.
It does not cost anything to be kind
to animals. This is especially true of
the dog. The other morning two dogs
of nearly equal size engaged in a fight
on Main Street. They fought with all
their might until finally separated by
one of their owners, a lad of about
16 years. Having pulled the combat
ants apart, the boy called his dog to
him and then brutally kicked the poor
fellow until he could hardly stand up
and allowed him to limp off on three
legs.
There should have been some one
to volunteer to box the lad's ears
with such emphasis that he would not
soon forget it but if such a thing had
been done, the man who did so would
have been hauled up before some court
and fined. But the poor dog had to
sneak away on three legs and treat
his own wounds and bruises, as best
he could. Treat the dumb animal
kindly and if no one else notices your
considerate treatment, the animal will
know and appreciate it.
o
ATTEND THE CHAUTAUQUA.
The selection of ElihuRoot to suc
ceed John Hay as Secretary of State
seems very generally to meet the ap
proval of the country. Mr. Root is
precisely sixty years of age; he has
often been called the foremost law
yer of the United States; he has serv
ed in the Cabinets of President Mc
Kinley and President Rooseveut, and
only resigned because of the seeming
necessity of aumenting his personal
fortune, which had been sadly dimin
ished by five years' hard service for
the government at $8000 a year. His
income from private practice from
February 1, 1904, when he resigned
as Secretary of War, has probably
amounted to half a million dollars.
Mr. Root's reforms in the War De
partment were notable; every reform
that he recommended, Congress final
ly consented to. Mr. Roosevelt eulo
gized him on his retirement, describ
ing him as "the most capable man
who had been in the service of the
government in this generation." Mr.
Hay also expressed the opinion before
his death that Root's legal standing
fitted him even better for the place of
Secretary of State than he himself
was. There are some rumors that,
despite the general impression that
Taft is Mr. Roosevelt's candidate for
President in 1908, the principal induce
ment to the acceptance of the State
Department portfolio is the hope en
tertained by Mr. Root, and encourag
ed by Mr. Roosevelt, that he may ex
change the portfolio for the. executive
chair on March 4, 1909. The objec
tions to Mr. Root that are being made
by the Democratic press are that he
defended the infamous Tweed when
all the forces of reform were endeav
oring to loose his strangle hold on
the City of New York, and that he is
persona grata with the great New
York corporations, having received
fees from the Equitable Assurance
Company amounting to $10,000 in
1904 and $25,000 in 1905.
Because of so many counter-attractions
the , attendance at the interest
ing and instructive sessions of the
Willamette Valley Chautauqua Asso
ciation has not been what was expect
ed. The management of this valuable
local institution wen to greater ex
pense than usual this year in order to
make possible the giving of even a
better programme than had ever been
prepared before.
It is now up to the people of this
vicinity to yidence an appreciation
of tthis society and its efforts to im
prove the value of its programme an
nually. The closing sessions of the
Chautauqua should be liberally patronized.
Clackamas County, Oregon, has se
lected a good man for horticultural

well the county inspector law will
prove a good 'thing. Oregon Agriculturist.
CHINESE EXCLUSION AGITATION.
The ripples caused by the Presi
dent's order with regard to the" ad
ministration of the Chinese Exclusion
Act are taking ever wider circles, un
til now the whole country is involved
in a controversy upon the merits of
the exclusion policy. Continual re
ports are heard of serious differences
of opinion between Secretary Met
calf and the President, reports which
still persist, in spite of the declara
tion of the New York Sun that they
are 'intrinsically absurd." The World
on the other hand, predicts that the
"result will be that Mr. Metcalf will
resign from the Cabinet." The pres
ident of the Japanese and Corean
League of San Francisco stated his
belief at the meeting of the Chinese
Japanese, and Corean Exclusion
League of Alameda County, the other
day, that Secretary Metcalf, Senator
Perkins, Congressman Knowland and
other prominent Western representa
tives would be found on the side of
Japanese exclusion. Senator Flint is,
however, the only one of California's
congressmen to make an outright dec
laration on the subject so far. ' -. . j
The eastern press continues to be
filled with expressions of opinion fav
orable to Chinese Immigration. Dr.
Walter T. Griffin, United States con
sul at Limoges, in a recent speech,
declared somewhat flamboyantly
against any discrimination against
the Oriental saying: I cannot see
why a man should be barred because
of his color, because his eyes may
slant, or his hair be worn in a certain
way." T. B. Wilcox, president of the
Transmississippi Congress, endeavors
to strike a somewhat intermediate
note of compromise, In which he has
the approval of W. D. Wheelright,
president of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, by the suggestion that
treaty should be made with China
looking to the admission of from fifty
to a hundred thousand Chinese each
year, concering which the Portland
Oregonian remarks very pertinently:
"How about the race conflict? Do you
want it? The Oregonian has a mem
ory, and it does not." Booker T. Wash
ington comes out strongly in favor of
Chinese immigration upon the sent!
mental ground that it Is the mission
of the white races to uplift the others.
and that therefore the doors should
be thrown wide open, inferentially
without reference to any economic or
social effects which an Oriental influx
may have upon our own people.
On the other hand, Senator Patter
son, of Colorado, disapproves entirely
of the President's order, and says:
"I have my fears that unexpected
things will happen if there is any re
laxation from existing precautions ex
ercised by the Chinese Bureau." Sen
ator Flint is also opposed to the pol
icy of the' administration, and de
clares that he is absolutely opposed
to any change in the present method
of dealing with the law. He says that
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, is as much
opposed to any change as himself.
Mr. Flint states that he begged Secre
tary Taft not to make up his mind
until he has had an opportunity of
laying the facts before him. Frank
K. Short, the Forth of July orator of
Fresno, discussed the exclusion ques
tion, and remarked in the course of
his speech: "The question is not an
economic one. It is not open even to
debate unless it shall be admitted
that there is a price upon our form of
government and the maintenance of
our economic and social Institutions."
In the meantime, it is interesting to
note that the local Chinese are fully
aware of the progress of the discus
sion, for a new Mongolian agitation
has sprung up and funds are being
collected, while Chinatown is placard
ed with circulars advocating the re
peal of the Exclusion Act. The Ar

DEATH OF SECRETARY. HAY.
The unexpected death of the Secre
tary of State occurred shortly after
midnight, July 1, at his summer home
at Newbury, N. H. Only a few weeks
ago he returned from Europe, where
he had gone for his health. He seem
ed greatly improved, and the news of
his death therefore came as a great
shock, not only to Americans, but the
world at large. . John Hay, whom
President Roosevelt has designated
as our greatest Secretary of State,
was born at Salem, Ind., October 8,
1839. He graduated at Brown Univer
sity in 1858, taking high honors, and
in 1861 was an Assistant Secretary to
President Lincoln. After Lincoln's
assassination he was Secretary, of the
Paris legation, and three years later
similarly occupied Vienna, and in 1869
became the Secretary at Madrid, thus
gaining a most useful training in di
plomatic affairs. On his return to the

NEW FOREST RESERVES.
Under executive orders two forest
reserves have been established re
cently, one in central Idaho called the
Payette, and the other in San Juan,
in southwestern Colorado. The form
er contains 1,281,000 acres, the latter
1,463,000, and it is reported that the
grazing and farming interests of both
sections are much pleased over the ac
tion of the government.
The smaller of these reservations
has an area of about equal to that of
the State of Delaware, 30 per cent of
which lies in the zone where hay
farming is successful. It affords a
range for 250,000 sheep at present,
while with proper care it should sup
port 50,000 more.
in the other region there is also a
fine sheep range, and the preserva
tion of the forests is considered ab
solutely necessary for the protection
of the farms already established. If
an unrestricted destruction of timber
should continue the irrigation upon
which they depend would become im
possible. Anyone who is acquainted with the
character of the country will readily
appreciate jthe soundness of the pol
icy that the government is pursuing.
Much of the mountain region of the
West is absolutely irreclaimable des
ert, and given the license that has
been enjoyed in the past the question
would be whether we were to improve
upon nature but whether we were to
save all that nature has bestowed up
on us. To justify the policy, there
fore, it is not necessary to indulge in
visions of millions of added acres of
unsurpassed fertility. It is enough to
know that if . steps are not taken to
protect the standing timber the des
ert area will steadily increase and

Possibly, when the husband finds

wonder some saloon-keepers get dis
gusted with the business. Woodburn
