SENATOR MITCHELL'S PLEA.
The pleas in abatement of Senator
J H Mitchell and others to the charges
brought against them are clearly with
in their legal rights, and are of such a
character that even an innocent man
anxious to meet any accusation might
reasonably make. If the senator be
lieves that the district attorney is
prejudiced against him. has taken un
due advantage of privileges in con
nection with the grand jury and is
determined to secure conviction at all
hazards and by any means then he is
justified in invoking even technicali
ty known to the law.
Senator Mitchell's defense will be
ably conducted, as his chief attorney.
Judge Alfred S. Bennett, of The
Dalles. Oregon, although content to
spend his life obscurely in a small
town, is the peer of pay lawyer in the
United States in a trial before a jury.
In cases against railroads for damages
for injuries to trainmen and others
he has met and vanquished the ablest
attorneys the great corporations
could command. He secured the high
est sum ever awarded in the United
States for the loss of a single life in
a jury trial and the decision stood
the test of the highest courts. As
these trials will attract national at
tention, Judge Bennett will earn a
national reputation and the govern
ment will know that it has a contest
c Berore the cases are ended. The
judge is a democrat and hence politi
cal honors have not come to him in
the overwhelmingly republican state
of Oregon, but he is easily a com
manding figure in his chosen profes
sion, says the Boise Capital News.
Therefore, the pleas in abatement
what might have been expected from
a lawyer who will in no wise jeopai
dise his client's cause by overconfi
dence or lack of vigilance.
The accused men are entitled to
every right and privilege the law al
low and, if innocent, all will rejoice
when the fact is established and, if
guilty, if they can secure a Scotch
verdict "of not proven," and are sat
isfied with it, the fall and punishment
of public obloquy will be sufficient.
HENEY'S HYPNOTIZED JURY.
The Salem Statesman very truth
fully remarks that "the Portland
newspapers are disturbed over the
fact that the men who have been in
dicted by the hypnotized grand jury,
under the direction of Hitchcock, are
going to defend themselves. The
persecutors evidently think the men
who have been accused ought to just
let themselves be convicted, without
making any fuss about it. In fact,
according to the irresponsible and
sensational Portland newspaper re
porters, the thing should have all
been left to the newspapers. What
is the use of courts and trial juries,
anyway, as long as there are grand
juries and yellow journals?"
THE FARMER'S DREAM
A farmer had a dream. He dreamed
that he had raised four thousand
bushels of corn and that he was hap
py over the fact. Then he dreamed
that he had sold it for 50 cents a
bushel and his happiness was great
er. But he dreamed now that he had
sold it to four thousand different peo
ple, a bushel to each one, and that
nobody had paid him and he was sad.
When he awoke it was broad daylight
and leaping out of bed, he exclaimed
to his wife:
"Rebecca, I have had a solemn
warning and I know the meaning of
it. I am going right off to town and
pay that printer the dollar I owe him
on the paper."
The railroads have decided to be
good to the 1905 fair. They have
granted a price of practically one
fair for the round trip from all points
in the United States. Now the prob
lem will be to take care of the peo
ple who will come. The crowds will
be a surprise to the most pyrotechni
cal in imagination.
A prospective SptktgfteM merchant
refuses to pay the freight on his
household -roods from Tort land to
Springfield n the grounds that his
freight from Illinois to Portland
unounted to 1(11 which he paid and
on the arrival of the goods at Spring
field there was attached a charge of
$171 from Portland. He refused to
pay this amount, claiming it is ex
cessive. He has sued them for SnOO
for delay of the car. He demands
the cods or S liHH This kind of
experience is not going to very fav
orably impress new homeseekers and
investors with Oregon's boasted ad
vantages and opportunities.
A. EL Parker of Salem, who recent
ly returned DM that country, pre
dicts that Mexico will be a part of
the United States inside of It year
This mav seem rather soon, but Mr.
Parker says American interests arc
heeomimr irreater in that count rv all
the time, and the sentiment for an
nexation is constantly growing, and
mav at anv time in the near future
blaze forth and become intense
especially when President Din shall
have passed awav and all kinds of ad-
- E
venturers shall attempt to direct the
destinies of the alleged republic.
1 '
Teddy is pnjving an adept at jolly -
mm the rank and tile, lexans are
pursuaded that the President think
more of their state than of any other.
Kansans believe he thinks their state
the best. Kentuckians are convinced
he regret not being born in the blue-,
grass country. The people of Indian
Territory are sure the President
wants to come right out and live with
them. . And yet some people do not
think the President a great politician.
According to a Salem dispatch the
Kay bill passed at the legislature pro
vided for payment of salaries at all
state institutions and therefore the
proposed referendum will not apply
to the normals. If this be true time
has been wasted in getting up those
referendum petitions.
A statistician places the number of
gainful occupations in the United
States at 303, in all of which, except
two, women are found. The excep
tions are soldiering and climbing tele
graph poles, but women in disguise
have occasionally been discovered in
the armv.
Some of the experts at Panama .as
sert that Chinamen are the best la
borers in that climate, which white
men cannot endure. It must be said
of the yellow peril that it is associat
ed with the idea of steady hard work
on a simple diet.
A Scio man wantonly shot about
the most harmless of God's feathered
creatures the other day. a meadow
lark. After paying the fine he knows
there is a law against it. And the
best of it is he will keep knowing it.
The confession of the man who
blew up the battleship Maine has been
received with indifference. In Spain,
as in the United States, everybody is
willing tha bygones shall be com
rades. Mayor Dunne did not know how he
was going to get possession of the
street railway lines in Chicago before
the election no more than he does
now, but it would not have done to
have said so.
One Democratic paper in New
York has given up VMS and is dis
cussing 1912. This may be calleo
borrowing trouble in ase where the
stock on hand is sufficient.
The Japanese are still a simple,
primitive people. They have not as
yet acquired the habit of throwing
mud at their heroes when the latter
attempt to return home.
This time last year St. Ixiuis was
wondering how great a success the
Fair would be. The fair was the
biggest on record, and there a
boom instead of reaction.
A new law in New York provides
that when a newspaper unintention
ally prints a libel, a retraction in two
issues shall remove the liability to
punitive damages.
As an abstract proposition, is the
whipping post for a wife-beater any
more demoralizing in its effect upon
the public mind than the gallows for
a wife murderer?
Today Heney's grand jury will
receive a hearing before Judge Bel
linger at Portland. It looks like it
might be indicted on several counts.
Japan, it is reported, will have a
million soldiers in the field this spring.
Where does she get them? Aren't a
good many of them women?
The 1905 fair at Portland is going
to establish a record. It will be
ready for its opening, June 1st.
An Albany man humorously pro
poses Roosevelt & Bryan for the
democratic nominees in 1908.
Nearly everybody in Oregon is pre
paring to visit the fair.

Cost of Sawing Wood.
When the investigating committee
gets to work, it might look into other
things us well as the heating contracts;
the wood contract, for instance. Is it
the same fellow that measures the wood
that measures the hot air? They might
also impiire why furnaces were put in
these buildings that would onlv take
two-foot wood, instead of four-foot wood.
I understand that it cost 1800 last year
for sawing wood for the furnaces. This
might have been saved, as it was wholly
unnecessary and retliculous to put in
furnaces that would use less than four
foot wood. This cost will continue everv
year and with the interest on the
money, would, in a short time, go a long
way toward piying for brick school
buildings.

Hie Telegram of April 14 says:
"Toacliers of Portland generally express
satisfaction with the fan system of beat

the present arrangement for regulating
temperature and draft, but brand as
false stories of suffering from either

By 8 tern, as installed by W. ;. McPher
son, they sty. is in the main satisfac
tory, except that the air current occas
ionally b eoines sluggish, and time is
lost iii changing temperatures. Two
fan- instead oi the one now in use, and
installation of an automatic regulating
system in each of the buildings, would,
it is claimed, make tilings entirely satis
factory, but it is alleged the cost of the
automatic regulator would lie heavy.
