of which Thaw seems to be the master, and that will make history in crim
inal jurisprudence. . -
It is doubtful whether the course pursued by the Canadian authorities
in kidnapping Thaw and carrying him by force across the border can be
approved for it was a step that was taken without due process of law and
that deprived him of his right to fight the extradition that was being made
acrainst him. The use of ulta legal means, even in the prosecution of a
criminal, is not justifiable on any grounds whatsoever.
Though the American authorities were eager to get their hands on
Thaw, he has some rights that must be respected and that would be respected
by the law. It is not justifiable at any time to take means in the prosecu
tion of criminals that are not countenanced by the statutes and this is what
the Canadian officers did.' It remains to be seen how Thaw will take ad
vantage of that fact in the defense that he will now have to offer inside of
the American courts. ': .

THAW'S CASE , Whatever may be thought of the past history of
BOBS UP AGAIN Harry Kendall Thaw or the evidence that was pro
duced at his trials in New York, one certainly admires the pugnacity with
which he continues the fight for his freedom and strains every nerve to remain
outside the walls either of the state prison or the insane asylum in which
lie was confined.
The reports that have been brought through the press dispatches tend
to win one's sympathy for the man who does such daring things and makes
such frantic efforts to gain the liberty that the rest of us enjoy.
There are several features of the case that have attracted the attention
of the country for the last two weeks that are interesting in view of the long
drawn out battle that is now apparently on for his restoration to the state
asylum for the criminally insane. '
One of them is the wonderful skill and ingenuity that is displayed by
the attorneys who are involved in one of the greatest criminal battles of
the American courts. The fight that finally- placed Thaw in the asylum
was an epoch in the history of our courts but there appears to be other
contests in view just as thrilling and as exciting as those that have already
been marked on the annals of the courts of New York state during the pro
gress of the Thaw trials.
More exciting than the best of fiction is the story of the way that Thaw
and the brainiest lawyers that his money could employ have fought the au
thorities of the state inch by inch over the slippery ground of legal technical-
ities and have finally been forced back by the persistency of a mind that was
as keen and as great as theirs and kept inside of the walls of an asylum dedi
cated by the society of that state as its protection against men of the calibre
and mentality of Harry Kendall Thaw. .
Were that same ingenuity and skill directed in the same way through
military channels, it would make the men whose names are, now on every lip
the greatest of our military history. i It would stamp them indelibly on the
pages of the nation's history as mer capable of commanding the great armies
that are amassed in times i war. ancTof devoting that skill and strategy
against the best that could be produced in other lands in times that are trying
even to -men of military genius.
"Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war" and the great
legal lights that havedevoted their energies both to the defense and prosecu
tion of Thaw are men whose names will never be forgotten in the annals
of the profession of which they are a part.
" There, is something uncanny about the persistency of William Travers
Jerome in prosecuting the Thaw case and in his appearance again on the
stage when the announcement came through the country's daily papers that
Thaw had done in a moment what could not accomplish in years of legal
.. battle and had escaped the guards at the asylum for New York's criminal
insane. .
It was a thrilling moment when that message was flashed over the wires
to hundreds of newspapers in the country and to the millions of the Ameri
can public who read those papers. It was the forerunner of a long drawn
out fight through the courts, a fight that will be enlivened by the spectacular
ECONOMY IN Portland's postmaster ha$ hit the key note of
PUBLIC SERVICE economy in public service when he has demanded
that the $i ,000,000 appropriation made for a two story federal building in
that city be used to erect a modern office structure and that the government
save its annual office rent of $30,000 by providing a home for the various
officers who are now quartered in private buildings for which a high rent
is paid.
One million dollars could hardly be spent wisely in the construction
of a two story building in that city and certainly" the money would not be
used to the best advantages were it all expended in a federal home that was
not large enough to house the many offices of other employes of the govern
ment who are now outside of the postoffice and whose annual rent amounts
to a small fortune in the regular expense.
While a modern office structure might not meet the fancies of some of J
those who would like a federal building with marble halls and brass fixtures,
it would, at the same time, be more practical and useful and would save the
government an annual rent that would, in time, more than pay for several
buildings of the kind that is now proposed. ---.-'
'When the postmaster made the suggestion that ie city should erect
such a home for its officers, he placed before the public an idea in official
economy jn the government service that is creditable, both. tQ himself Jand to
the city that he serves. Certainly, an eight story building with ample quart
ers for each of the officers in the service of the United State would be much
more practicable and sensible than a two story structure, costing the same
amount of money but providing much less the accommodation and entailing
the annual rental expense without hope of ever being able to eliminate it.
This brings us again to the question of a new postoffice for Oregon
City. The time, has come when the government should take a hand and
place on. the next appropriation bill an item that will provide the city with
postal facilities that it needs and that will give the postmaster here the quart
ers that are requisite to the prompt and efficient dispatch of the public busi
ness. There is no economy in the government's attempt to get along with
the present. quarters nor does it produce that efficiency in-the service of the.
department that a city of this size should have.
The prompt delivery and the handling of the -mails with dispatch is a
requisite in trie successful management of the affairs of the , postoffice de
partment. When a postmaster is so crowded for room that he cannot handle
the work that is piled upon him as readily as he should, the government
should make provision for that postmaster in some other quarters-and should
give him those things that he needs to better the service and produce for the
people whom it is presumed to serve a more efficient branch of the federal
department. , . "
There is no solution to the problem in Oregon City but a new federal
building and the sooner that it is erectedthe better will be the mail service
here and the more easily and readily will the local officials be able-to handle
that mail that passes through their hands before it reaches the patrons of the
office. " The . effort of the commercial club to impress this, fact upon the
minds oi the department, heads at Washington is commendable as is also
every effort that is made along the lines of improvement in .the federal service
here.. -. .'-! ' .
Business Wars Are Costly
And Unnecessary Arbitrate
By CHARLES L BERNHEIMER, Chairman of the Arbitration Committee
' of the New York Chamber of Commerce -"'''
THE time honored practice of rushing ofE to court with the disagree
- ments which daily ar.ise in the course of business has COST THE
WORLD UNEECKONED MILLIONS IN HARD CASH, has
doubtless often failed of rendering justice especially to the poor man, has
WASTED TIME AND ENERGY, increased misunderstandings and
stimulated rancor to an extent literally incalculable.
BUSINESS WARS HAVE BEEN NO . LESS UNCIVILIZED THAN
THOSE ORN OF INTERNATIONAL DISPUTES LESS BLOODY, CER
TAINLY. THEY HAVE STILL BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR MISERY
ENOUGH TO PUT .THEM IN THE CLASS OF FULL GROWN TRAGE
DIES, WHICH HAVE NOT ALWAYS STOPPED UPON THE HITHER
SIDE OF DEATH.
At first blush this may seem like an exaggerated statement, but surely
suicides of honest men have not been the infrequent fruit of legal battles,
over business matters which might easily have been AVOIDED BY
ARBITRATION, CONCILIATION OR MEDIATION, and if some
men have been driven to self destruction by the ancient, inefficient meth
ods, how many have been thrust by WORRIES into mental turmoil
which broke down their physical resistance and made them the easy vic
tims of disease ? . .' Y - - .
NOWHERE IS WASTE "SO INTOLERABLE AS IN THE CONDUCT
OF COMMERCIAL BUSINESS. IT IS RECOGNITION OF THIS FACT
WHICH HAS MADE THE IMPORTANT BUSINESS MEN OF NEW
YORK CITY WILLING TO DEVOTE THEIR TIME TO ARBITRATION
BOARDS. .
A fight in court is virtually a fight not only against the other side, but
AGAINST THE COMMUNITY AT. LAEGE the taxpayers for ev
ery court delay means court expense, and the taxpayer bears tb.e brunt of
court expense, no matter what the final adjudication of the court may be
is to the payment of the "costs" of that particular suit.
