THE WHIPPING POST.
There have been columns amounting to volumns written
apropos the whipping post since the President's and Gov
ernor's messages has recalled attention to that substan
tial device. Kut the whole truth has not been told, and
because of the delicacy or supersensitiveness of the
modern ear, cannot be told. In even- famir the patriar
chal form of government theoretically or actually still
exists and must exist until the family is abolished. There
must in all government be a hQad a source of authority
the power to enforce authority. Happily in most fami
lies, this authority is patriarchal, humanely, benignly
exercised. In many American families it is matriarchal
where the husband and children sensibly obey the wise
rule of the superior mother. But there are other fami
lies where, for example, the husband spends all the
money, pawns his wife's wedding ring, the family bible,
the children's school books and takes the blanket off the
bed of his sick child for drink. Will anyone say that his
wife ought not to beat him? But, on the other hand, it
is sometimes the wife who does unspeakable things. So
here we are. The law and the courts have no adequate
substitute for patriarchal government. There are some
instances in which prompt family chastisement is the
only possible remedy and is justified even though it may
be inflicted on the father or mother who are sometimes
the worst children in the household. But this is no argu
ment against the whipping post. By all means let us
have it back with some other things pertaining to the
simple life of yore. It is said it will brutalize the whippee.
Then all the more let us have it. If it will exalt him to
the level of those clean, patient, kindly and moral animals
we call brutes, it will do what all the prisons and other
moral reform enginery have pitifully failed to do.
MAKING HIMSELF SOLID WITH SCHOOL BOYS
Senator Coke of Coos county introduced a bill making
the Friday following'Thanksgiving a legal holiday in the
public schools. It has been the experience of teachers
that little good is accomplished by this one day of study
following the national holiday. The children are still
playing their football game and their minds will not get
down to books. Not only this but their unrest is subver
sive of discipline. Therefore it is desired when school
closes Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving it shall
be closed till the following Monday morning.
Should this bill become a law and Senator Coke should
aspire to any office within the gift of the people after the
piesent generation of school boys become voters, he is
assured of election by a plurality exceeding even that of
Rooseyelt in the late election in this state. The Senator
is evidently looking forward, not backward.
Representative Sonnemann of Douglas county proposes
to make a strong effort to secure the passage of his bill
(H. B. 1031 to compel telephone, telegraph and express
companies to bear their share of taxation. Such corpo
rations make immense profits in this state, it is said, but
pay only trivial sums in taxes. Sonnemann's bill provides
that in addition to the taxes provided by law, telegraph,
telephone and express companies doing business in this
state shall pay an additional tax of 1 per cent upon
their gross receipts. For the purpose of enabling the
state to ascertain the amount to be paid it is made the
duty of the officers of such corporations to file annually a
sworn statement of the year's receipts from business in
this state. It is claimed that the express companies in
particular escape their just proportion of taxation under
existing laws.
The Plaindealer desires to call attention to the Resolu
tion passed by the Commercial clubs of Eugene, Cottage
Grove and Drain, published elsewhere in this paper, bear
ing on railroad freight rates on lumber, and would further
urge the Rosebnrg Commercial Club to concur in this
resolution. The law should also be so framed as to pre
vent unreasonable and inexcusable delay in the transpor
tation of freight or cars. It should also prohibit dis
crimination against localities in furnishing cars.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 26,
BILL IN THE INTEREST OF TRAINMEN.
In his late message to Congress President Roosevelt
strongly urged legislation regulating the hours of actual
sen-ices of trainmen. We quote the following:
"I point out to Congress the urgent need of legislation
in the interest of the public safety limiting the hours of
labor for railroad employes in train service." He also
urges that drastic punishment be meted out to any rail
way employe who. by issuance of wrong orders or dis
obedience of orders, causes disaster. The railway men
of this state court these responsibilities, but ask that
they be permitted to have sufficient rest to become capa
ble of assuming such grave responsibilities.
This measure is just and human, and if made a law will
assist greatly in the prevention of accidents on railroads.
In asking that this measure be favorably considered the
Plaindealer does so with the belief that it is just to all
concerned, reasonable and good public policy.
'The legislator who sells his vote traffics in the honor
of a sovereign people and prostitutes the trust ropooed in
him. There can be no offense which, if allowed to go on.
is fraught with graver consequences. It is more fatal to
civic life than any other crime, for it pollutes the stream
of law at its source. It makes the passage of laws mere
matters of bargain, thwarts justice, enthrones iniquity,
renders lawful government impossible," says Governor
Folk. If all official acts were for sale, we would have a
government not of, for, and by the people, but a govern
meit of. for and by a few with wealth enough to pan: base
official favor. It is the highest duty of even legislator
of every official, and of every citizen, to do all be can to
eradicate this evil the greatest enemy to free p
ment, the greatest danger confronting this nation t da;
Governor Folk is the Roosevelt of the Democratic party.

1 1 Ht it not lnfu that the OngM

for taxing franchise of all railways,

The fait was cited that, under fie

used as an illustration whs that a! the
Marion County assessor, who asses-ed
the franchise of a water ;er company
which run-a ditch through the city of
Salem, and found that the courts did
not support the assessment as letral.
The sentiment was in favor of recum-
nieiKlin.' that the legislature enacts
law enabling the taxation of all fran
chises. Another reform which finds favor in
the convention is that of uniform as-
lent throughout the state, coopk-d
with the elevation of values to that for
which property would sell at voluntary

These, wiili abuUUua of the poll tax,

THE STATE NORMAL
SCHOOLS ARE SAFE
Sv km. Or., Jan. 8 -If the state Mao
anal Schooia get what they want from
the Legislature, the appropriation for
,(..
w inanition- will aggregate fT-'-'!,-
M) Thi would lie. an enormous in
crease, over the appropriations of 1!03.
when the total appropriations were but
188,008.
Though there is strong demand that
a' leaf! one of the normals lie discon
t Maes), II -eeuis unlikely that any of
ihein will Ih- ilropite.l. The chief ditli-
me. up oi an coiiHiiiuie sucn a strong
lam that the Legislature can hardly
lail to grant the demands. To get ap
propriations for permanent building
will be the great effort this sessioa, 'and
when they are once secured the loeaS
tiona most interested will have no fear
of the Mate abandoning investments
made.
It is protiahle that the Normal School
appropriations will lie made in one bill,
or in a bill along with appropriations
lor other stste institutions, so that the
Governor cannot veto them without
causing great inconvenience.
The ways and means committees held
a joint meeting tonight to consider nor
mal appropriations, but arrived at no
conclusioii. Five of the ten memliers
of the two committees are from counties
wherein Normal schools are located,

HENEY EXCEEDED
LEGAL AUTHORITY
The Sjlem Daily Statesman well says:
The scoring given by the Cnited States
judge and Proeecn ting Attorney Heney
to the members of the jury who voted
against conviction in tbe Sorenson case
is not calculated to make jury service
more popular than at present. It is
questionable whether the trial judye
ami proeecuting attorney have the right
or privilege under tbe taw to qaestion
the honest of a juror's tm. lives who
fails to be convinced of the gnilt or in
nocense o f a prisoner before the bar.
simply because a majority of the jury
have formed rout ray opinions. At least
there is a question so long as the judge
and attorney are not in possession of
wrongdoing on the part of the juror
Mr. Heney as public prosecutor, must
not expect to convict every man who
stands accused in the court before which
he is practicing, by any such attempt to
scre the jurors. If he is able to pre
sent the evidence he will no doubt be
able to convince the jurors ; but other
wise he can't exiect a conviction. He
may honestly feel that the man he is
prosecuting is guilty, but he must prove
it to the jury's satisfaction. The ques
tion is not whether Sorenson is guilty,
but whether the jury is liable to ar
raignment by the court and prosecuting
officer for not having found him guilty.

Remedy is the best made for colds,"
says Mrs. Coara Walker of Portevill
California. Theie is no doubt its being
the beat. No other will cure a cold s

Grants Pass Has a "Dead Line.
Two red lines, four inches wide, have
been drawn across the pavement at the
corner of Sixth and Front streets in
tirants Pass, inside of which no group of
men is allowed to tarry unduly. On
tins corner are four saloons side by side,

the prescribed limits clear.
