Oregon. THE HAYWOOD TKIATj If the public Is correctly advised of the local conditions surrounding the trial of Haywood at Boise certain lessons of hope can be drawn from the calm, dispassionate, impartial and unbiased nature of the proceed ings, which should serve in the fu ture to govern the actions of the press in handling the details of sim ilar cases before trial. More than a year has elapsed since the arrest and extradition from Colo rado to Idaho of Haywood, Mojer and Pettibone charged with com plicltj in the murder of Governor Stuuenberg. The prominence of these men as leaders of organized labor, the circumstances of their ex-' tradition, the position and character ( of the murdered man and the sup-1 posed motive for the crime gave un usual national interest to all sub- ' sequent proceedings. Since that j time no occasion has been lost on the part of all the news agencies to prevent through the public press of the country, not only the facts in de tail surrounding the commission of the crime and the subsequent devel- i opments that have arisen therefrom, ' but also many deductions and in ference from alleged facts, as to t motives, Interests and probable ac-1 tions on the part , not only of the principals who were to be involved, in the consequent trial, namely, the state of Idaho and the defendants charged with the crime, but also of ' persons remotely interested in the final result. The great mass of so-called news has been written the then approach ing trial, and which per force has been accepted by the newspapers at large has (ended to formulate class hatred, to suggest opportunities or occasions for the exercise of personal violence during the trial, or to en courage an unwarranted show of personnel at the trial could have the effect only of embarrassing the due administration of justice. There is hardly a labor leader of prominence! ir. the country who has I not been reported to have expressed , his intention of being present at the trial. It has been strongly repress ed that the fear of violence was so ' great, that difficulty would be ex perienced In getting a jury which, upon proper cause being shown, would bring in a verdict of guilt As a final result of the method of handling the facts and the so-called Inferences drawn therefrom bj those who have been in a position to mould public opinion, the president has re cently found it necessary to say that he would use such power ns he may bnve to secure the defendants a fair and impartial trial. In short the people of the whole country, and among all classes have been living in a state of anxious doubt nnd fear concerning the ability of the citizens of a prosperous and highly reputed community in a sfster Btate, to normally perforin a sov ereign function, under the form of law and Involving the administration of justice In a given case, to the satis faction of the citizenship of our country at large I The trial has at last opened and thus far has been characterized by no unusual incident. It is true that in anticipation of unusual and dramatic incidents, that have been so confi dently anticipated, over forty news-' paper correspondents are in attend-1 unco, but we nre also advised that thoy constitute a largo portion of "the Interested spectators," and that so far a court room that will seat less than 300 is not tested to more than half its capacity. There has already developed, as might from the first have been expected, a studied effort on the part of the judge and counsel for both the state and the defendant to proceed carefully along the well beaten path of judicial form and precedent, and to respect fairly and Impartially the safeguards, which so far as they can be provided by human agency, protect both the state and the aqcused to the full extent of their respective rights. In fact there is today no other indication than that the people of Ada county can provide, and have provided ample means and agencies to meet the requirements of the time and occasion, and that they possess that equanimity of character and tempermental equapoi3e which we are pleased to thinl: have alwa3 characterized the American peopl? upon such occasions. What hss been the net gain to our people from these past expressions of doubt and fear with respect to what might be the possibly outcome of these trials? Have these expres sions aided the people who must be, held responsible for the due adminis tration of justice in the given cases? Almost without exception the expres sion of a doubt or fear serves only to bring upon us the peril that we most expect; or as'in this case, where the fear is proven groundless, it stands for nothing except the worry and anxiety which it naturally en tails. Americans are rapidly developing a confident belief in their own strength of character to perform the duties of citizenship without fear or favor, and the time will come when to express a doubt or fear that any considerable number of our people will fall short in the full performance of civic duties will be considered a national libel meriting the severest condemnation. The citizens of Boise and Ada county, Idaho, are expected to do their duty in the present case both to the state and the accused; and, it should also be added, there are absolutely no grounds to doubt their ability and purpose to do so. PHESEXT OUTLOOK There is considerable talk in dulged in these days with regard to an expected depression following the season of remarkable prosperity which we now enjoy, and have en joyed for some time past. It is point ed out that money is "tight" in east ern markets; that there is no very active market at the moment for se curities; that the presidential elec- tiTn is pending with its disturbing conditions and that great prosperity is always succeeded by reaction and Tfl o uimui :m nr fr'zom n t 4 l? - tamxraia 1 rJ Per &J R?p JUliV vy jig.
