CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
CONVENTION NEXT WEEK.
Noxt week tho democrats will hold
their county convention, and then tho
county nominees of tho two principal
parties can ho compnred by tho vot
ers, who tako Interest enough In them
to do so, though unless In one or two
enscs thcro Is no doubt of tho success
of tho very good republican ticket nl
ready nominated, and which will poll
about tho full party strength. Some
dissatisfied republicans, It Is still ru
mored, will opposo ono of tho candi
dates for stato senator, but this feel
ing of opposition tnny dlo down be
foro tho day of olcctlon. Shorlff Stor
ey has announced himself as an In
dependent candldnto for tho samo of
flco ho now holds, and ho will, no
doubt, poll a largo voto, as ho Is con
Hldcrcd a "rustler." If tho democrats
put up a strong candidate for this of
flco tho light between tho threo will
porhnpH ho tho most Interesting of
any, because as to most other candi
dates, no body will liuvo much doubt
of tho result.
Tho republican congressional and
ntatu conventions will nlso bo hold
noxt week, and the main point of In
terest will center upon tho nomina
tion for representative In congress,
for strong prcssuro will bo brought
to bear upon delcAntcH to give
Moody Homo support, after ho has
jiindo so strong n showing In Eastern
Oregon. So fnr, howovur, thoro Is no
ponltlvo Indication that any of tho
delegates will do othorwlHo thnn to
follow their Instructions. Souators
Mltcholl and Fulton nro anxious to
linvo Wllllnmson returned, nnd their
wlBhcn nro likely to prevail. If
Moody, however, comes down with a
Mtrong majority from Eastern Ore
gon, ninny Multnomah dolegntes will
feel Inclined to support him.
There will nlso bo Homo bard work
ilono In tho stnto convention by as
pirants for presidential electors nnd
delegates to tho nntlonnl republican
convention, positions that nro covet
I'd by many good men. Tho selec
tion of a candldnto for food and dairy
commissioner, and for district at
torney In this county, will also nrouso
consldorublo Interest.
Thoro aro lead colored fceople, of
course, and when n negro resorts to
vlolenco and crlmo ho Is likely to
provo a pretty tough customer. Dut
a good deal of tho troublo In
tho South, and occasionally In North
ern communities, is that so many
whlto peoplo forget or do not rccog
nlzo tho fact that tho Negro has
rights as a man and n citizen, oven if
ho goes wrong. Ho is no moro n
criminal under tho lnws on nccount of
his misdeeds than a white man Is
who docs tho samo things. Hut it Is
tho common fashion to treat him as
an ultra crlmlnnl, a crenturo who,
chiefly on account of his rnco and
color, and not becauso of the espec
ial enormity of his crlmo, must bo ex
terminated, and that, too often, with
bnrbarous cruelty. And when tho
Negro perceives that thcro Is ono
punlshmont or often none for tho
offense of tho whlto mnn, and another
punlshcment for tho black man who
has douo no worse, his human nature
nsscrts Itself In protest, and some
times In nets that do his own race
great barm. When ho becomes des
pernto ho censes to caro for olther
personal or genernl consequences.
Tho Negro Is not to bo excused for
his nets of violence or crlmo, but In
some tustnnces thcro has been great
provocation, nnd considering that ho
has not had tho white mnu's udvnu
tages be Is often moro rather thnn
less excusable for his acts.
If Williamson wins?
Hearst may pick up Bomo delegates,
but ho could get few votes in tho
election.
Judge Carey's advlco will have
great wolght with tho delegates,
though ho has resigned his chairman-ship.
Sheriff Storoy doesn't have to con
tribute to tho campaign fund.
e
Flnloy can do Justlco to tho job of
holding an Inquest on tho Multnomah
county democrats.
Tho democrats will concontrato
their fight at a few points.

A. FOOLISH MOVE.
LOCAL OPTION.
Local option Is a good thing In
theory, nnd on genernl principles, but
the application of It .may bo misdi
rected, nnd a local option law, framed
by extremism, or Impractical peoplo,
may be mado to servo purposes that
lire liil'iilcul to largo business Inter
ohIh. This hcoiub to bo the case with
the proposed local option law to be
voted upon next June. Apparently
It Is Intended to give any community
or contiguous territory tho right to
decldo for Itself by ballot whethor It
will have prohibition of tho liquor
truffle within Its borders. This Ik all
right, but as it mutter of fact such is
tho law now. That Is, a majority of
tho voters of nny precinct can defeat
tho petition for a saloon therein, uud
often do so. No saloon can bo estab
lished uud maintained In any country
or suburban precinct except upon the
potltlon of it majority of tho legal
voters thoroof, and If opposed by a
temonstrnnco containing tho names
of moro voters than thosa attached to
tho petition, tho license cannot bo
grouted, This sceuiH to bo n reason
nblo degree of local option us to tho
liquor traffic.
Tho proposed law la lit sovoral ro

to Injure business interosts, that help
In their way to mako up tho life and
prosperity of a largo town. Whllo
tho liquor tralllc results In much evil,
It Is a nocossnry ovll, except ns it Is

Some colored people, It Is reported
nro planning to hold a national polit
ical convention nnd nomlnato a can
dldnto for president. This may serve
to amuse them, but It will not bo an
net calculated to bo of benefit to tho
Negro race. It Is well enough for
colored peoplo to tnko nu Interest In
politics, uud even to ask for some re
cognition In polittcnl affairs, hut It Is
not wlso either to nceontuuto "tho
rnco question" by such a move, or to
throw nwny votes Unit would better
be cast for tho party and candidate
that best will servo their Interests,
Uy voting together In some of the
Northern stntes for n Negro cnndl
late, tho Negroes might possibly ren
der such stntes doubtful, or more
doubtful than they would otherwise
be, but It would be puro folly thus to
aid In the election of a democratic
president, nnd In tho restoration of
power of tho Southern democrats,
who deny Negroes the right of citi
zenship. It Ih not likely that a Negro
candidate would got enough votes to
put President Roosevelt's election In
Jeopardy, but It would be foolish for
sovoral reasons to offer Negro voters
this temptation. They nro frequently
charged now with trying to put
themselves In it portion of antagon
istic equality with tho whites, and
they would better do nothing Ilka
Ihls, oven for nmuseinent, to encour
age and Justify this uccusatlon.
