.UDICIAL CONTEMPT OF PEOPLE.
For the past ten or fifteen yeara at
! ant the Supreme Court of Ohio has
1 oen trying to acquire a reputation
equal to that of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania as a faithful servant of
'nonopollstlc corporations. When
ttorney-General Monnett started a
.mmber of suits against the Standard
nil Company and similar monopolies,
e found that the merits of his case
mi very little figure with that court
!,ater, when Tom L. Johnson started
Ms fight for three-cent fares and for
equal taxation of railroad and street
railway property, he found that the
udges of the Ohio Supreme Court
ould not have been more partial to
hese corporations If they had been
penly retained as attorneys for
?iem. In order to protect monopolis
tic Interests, they even rendered a
''eclslon overturning the government
f every city in the state. It is not
surprising then to hear of the latest
manner In which it has distinguished
.tself.
There Is a vigorous campaign being
-arrled on la Ohio for the Initiative
ind Referendum, and It looks now as
hough there will be an overwhelm
ng popular vote in favor of these
measures. The Interests are clearly
; larmed. So when a question was

relevant side remarks that might be

Ince it ante-dated the Constitution,
nothing could be put in the Consti

the court holds that the states formed j

have not been admitted to the Union

Other states may amend their con
ttitutions to suit themselves, but
hese states must first obtain the
consent of Congress if chese side re

been properly understood. Can fldel

McCtie was a prominent lawyer who
had been mayor of Charlottesville,
the home of Thomas Jefferson and
the seat of the University et Virgin
ia. McCue was convicted on circum
stantial evidence and confessed bis
guilt on the gallows.
The case of Deattie will of course
be appealed. What the outcome of
that appeal may be none can tortell.
Justice Is looked for.
The Rcnttle case should bring home
to youths a moral truth. It may
serve to bring Immoral men back to
right living.
NATIONAL HIGHWAY PLAN.
The bill of Senator Cullom for a
comprehensive system of national
highways is receiving the attention
that It deserves from the press of the
country.
The plan of the senator is to make
Washington the hub of a great wheel
from which radiate seven national
highways.
He proposes that these shall ter
minate In Portland, Me., Buffalo, N.
Y., Seattle, Wash., San Francisco,
Cal Austin, Texas, and Miami, Fla.
The proposition further is to name
them, respectively: "Washington
National Highway," "Roosevelt .Na
tional Highway," "Lincoln National
Highway," "Jefferson National High
way," "Grant National Highway,"
"Monroe National Highway," "Lee
National Highway."
The estimated cost of these seven
highways is $14 $,000,000.

Issuing bonds to cover the cost of
construction, and after their comple
tion maintain the roads by collection
of tolls.
The governors of various states
have endorsed the Cullom bill but its
advocates are not very hopeful of
its passing. There Beems to
be a feeling in Congress

struction is matter for the considera

able action by these authorities would
obviate necessity for the suggestion

DEEP-WATER TRANSPORTATION.
The sixth annual convention of the
Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway As
sociation wil be held In Chicago, Oc
tober 12, to 14 and the members are
this year showing' more of a spirit of
determination than ever.
A bulletin issued by the associa
tion states that the . transportation
cost in this country averages $150 a
family annually, one-third of the aver
age cost of living In the Middle
West the transportation problem is
a practically vital one. The tonnage
of the Sault Ste. Marie canal is three
times that of the Suez Canal. This
enables one to see 'very plainly how
the promoters of the deep waterway
project which would make a continu
ous channel from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf are prompted to assert that
the undertaking will equal the Pana
ma Canal in commercial importance.

I As the postal savings banks grow
in popularity they are bringing to
light some interesting revelations.
From far away Corinth, Miss.,
comes a letter to the Postmaster
General from the postmaster of that
place, reading:
"I am enclosing, with my compil
ments, a silver dollar which was de
posited, together with several hun
dred others just like it, which had
apparently been buried for many
iiasked in the degraded sunshine of years. I send this to show you the

raise a band in defense, the point of
a sharpened bit of iron, six inches
in length, which Oppenhelmer had
concealed, had pierced his breast just
below the heart.
Estudiilo separated the men and
placed Quijada In his cell. Turning
to Oppenhelmer, the turnkey said:
"Give me that, Jake."
"All right, sir," said Oppenhelmer.
and calmly surrendered the deadly
weapon, which In some unknown
manner he had managed to fashion
from a short Iron bar.
Estudlllo then sent for the prison
physician. Before the doctor arrived
Quijada was dead.
Quijada, who bad a strain of Yaqul
blood, was first sentenced to life in
Folsom for murder in Los Angeles.
SPECIAL SESSION FOR
ROAD LAWS EXPECTED
PORTLAND. Sept. Id. (Speolul.)
A Special BCKMlotl of tllO Ixgislll-
I ture to enact good roads bills has
been recommended by Governor
West's commission, named some time
ago to outline needed luws on this
subject. The commission, represen
tative of nil parts of the state, has
Just met In Portland and determined
what Is needed In the way of good
mads laws. The matter was declared
to be so urgent that a special ses
sion is necessary.
Harmony marked the sessions of
the good roads promoters, although
expression of Individual opinion was
at times rather spirited. The com
mission members realized, however,
that If much Is to be accomplished,
there must be unity of action, and
all this wns kept in mltiu.
Four bills were recommended by
the commission for passage Into law.
One Is an act establishing a State
Highway department and appointing
a State Highway Commissioner. This
official must be a skillful road en
gineer and will be named by the gov
ernor. All roads built by state aid
will be under his supervision.
Another bill provides for the estab
lishment of a state highway fund,
making provision for an annual levy
for the purpose, which will be sup
plemented by a portion of license
taxes.
Another proposed measure Is the
act providing for the construction of
state-aid roads out of the State High
way fund. Whether the maintenance
of those roads shall be left to the
state or the counties was a point that
provoked debate.
The fourth bill is an act enabling
the counties to aval themselves of
the provisions of the state constitu
tion permitting the lBsue of bonds for
the prosecution of road work, upon
a special election being called by the
county court upon petition of ten per
rent of the voters of the county.

BEATTIE MURDER CASE.
The verdict In the Beattie case was
not unexpected by those who had
.-arefully read the evidence as the
trial progressed.
"Let that man go free? What, let
'hat man go free? Why, the mother
'iood of Virginia, the womanhood of

ial). From now until June next, two
questions will bu presented to the
Republicans of the country, with in
creasing Insistence. They arc Insep
arable and upon the unswvrs to them
both depends the solution of the
tariff, railroad, trust and conserva
tion problems the political control
of the country for four years.
Will President Taft be renominat
ed? If he Is, will he be re elected?
These two questions have confront
ed political Washington for mouths.
They have beeu carefully weighed in
the light of the last election, the re
turns for which are worth searching
analysis.
In 1910 the Democrats carried 27
states, of which 24 have Democratic
governors, while 22 states now have
u majority of Democrats In Congress.
Hut It must be noted that although
the standpatters lost some eighty
seats In Congress In the landslide,
tho Progressive doubled their rep
resentation In the Lower House.
Nothing presents the situation so
clearly as a table showing, In detail,

SAFE-BLOWERS LOOT
BANK OF $315,000
NEW WESTMINSTER, U. C, Sept.
15. Three hundred and fifteen thou
sand dollars was stolen early this
morning from the branch or the Bank
of Montreal In this city. Five burg
lars entered the bank by tho front
door, broke through the thin metal
coating or the vuulf, blew the safe by
charges of nitro-glycerlne and got
clear away with their booty without
being seen, except by a Chinese care
taker They probably escaped down
the Eraser River by a launch or else
by automobile toward Vancouver.
There was in all $350,000 In the
bank's 'safe. Chief of Police Brad
show believes the men would have
taken It all if they could have carried
it. As It was, they took all they could
carry away, leaving all the silver and
notes of small denominations as well
as damaged $.',00 and $1,00 bills lying
around the floor and tables of the
room of one of the clerks.
The first known of the robbery was
when a ChlneHe caretaker appeared
at the police station at about 5:30
o'clock and gave the alarm. He had
managed to work his bonds loose af
ter the robbers had departed. Chief
of Police P.radshaw hurried to the
scene and all of the available officers
were pressed Into service, but the
only clew obtainable was that given
by the Chinaman. From the thorough
