Uorcnt Cat.istroplie Present Many
lVrjvleinK Question.
What word lias been coined to ex
rress its awful horror! I have heard
the cannons roar, shells scream,
solid shot hum. mitinie hulls zip.
have seen 1.000 lives muffed out in
iin hour; hut the horror, tragedy, of
a scene like this! Vhat word can
encompass the fate of so many lives
and dollars Ror.e In ten minutes?
AVill the investigators show who is
to blame, whose inefficiency caused
the slaughter, unparalleled in mer
chant marine? The dead are dead.
uoes that end all? No! There Is a
time coming for a "dead reckoning. "
Those recovered have been buried.
Is that all? Should there be more?
That disaster shook the financial
earth, the social earth, and the na
tions of earth. Were the owners
responsible? Who are they, and
how did they incur tesponsibility?
"Was it the man on the bridge? His
pistol closed his mouth. Did he pur
posely hold bis course, and at full
peed, to heat time, like a spied
maniac? Does England control the
corporation, or did all right to con
trol pass to the company when the
charter was signed; or do. s a cirpo
ration own tin- powers that gave it
being? Wlico is he who is to blame
for such muiderous work?
The calamity w.is unique and
Maud.-; like Mt. Shasta, alone, for us
to gaze at. The sympathetic heart of
earth is wrung with sorrow for the
dead and compassion for the living.
For weeks, reporters and papers have
done their Im::-:!. to giv.s us the de
tails of thai, awful scene; but have
we got, a . the truth of ii? The wires
on earth and wireless have been k-pt
hot to tell it, and yet the question
is. Did IsMay tc'.l the truth? Did
the agent hold back the news tor
hours? As we
scene of horror
why of it all.
What has the
look lack to tlii
We tail to see the
committee brought
to light, as to
cause and responsi-
bility? All the true-hearted of earth
are waiting for an answer. Are the
powers of earth afraid to let the peo
ple know all the truth? Where only
one has died by accident or murder,
we get all the; details from red head
lines to "black sticks." What will
national law have to say about this
stupendous blunder? The owners,
maybe, own railroads, news agencies
and papers. If the hundreds had
died where "war in hell" It would
have been glory; but if by club, dag
ger or poison, we would set the state
to work to bunt down the criminal.
But who in a corporation is a crimi
nal? That old word murderer, how it
sticks to one on whom it has been
thrown! It is as bad as a cockle
burr in a sheep's tail. Can you
charge a corporation with that awful
crime and make good? Then who is
to be judge and executioner? How
about those good Christians who own
stock in suh a murder mill? Can
Jesus save Diem? To say, only man
slaughter, is coarse and grates on
our tympanum, when we think- of
those hundreds of water-soaked,!
Hiiark-eateii bodies and blurred,
t-ight less yes, giving ghostly, horri
ble suggestions to corporate owners.
Can you say homicide? Why, 'tis
but little better than its father,
murder. Why not say Cod was to
blame for letting the Iceberg get in
the way, a... I say no more about it.
V.'e can't bring him into court, con
vict and h...ng bin. Of the wavlaior
killed by lightning a jury savs,
'iVtishcd by Iin- il(-t of Cod." It
would be nearer the truth to say
"Satan," for he is the "prince of the
power of the air." the "prince of
Ihis world." An hundred years ago
the race w . i not. responsible ii it U t
people live. How we t ry to com pel
them to live, and pen up or slav
those who interfere with our "law of
life." (let. a lesson from this "un

Here we ure, at the fountain iiead.
Let's see. How about the human
side? M:.n's greed for biggest ship,
quick time and dollars mm a berg,
and then millions of tons of power
and resistance collide, then a grave
two miles deep. Nay, i was not
Cod's atf, but man's. Who? The
ship on u-th, crew and quick-time
pas.-vngi.is. Vi-u, more! All people
of all lands who are in a panic, irv-
ing -Sliced, speed, speed." All these
tire to blame for the lives gone from
arth, ti!: indgnient d;.y. Here, in
the iia.r ; r speed, we gel the "con
irlbutory negligenco" that, shows
who is to Maine. Then, where does
"crliiiiuu! carelessness" of officers
.and passengers come in? l have
heard eld sailors say that an Ice-
lieig would echo the sound of log-1
bom or whistle three to ten miles.
Did the ''unsinkable" have a horn i
or whistle? Were they us,ed? Who'
knows? i
Again I ask for a word, new if you
jdiai.e, to designate corporate collec-j
live iniird-r, lor which a corporation!

ug: woi ; , to fasten onto a 1 1 ',
Mi'i.t.nio niau. or thing in human
foim. Au engine driver after twenty
hours of steady running lulls asleep,
passes the place to switch off for a
train, then crush in a head-end col
lision. He is killed, so are some of
the travelers. On his pat t It was
"ctlminal carelessness." Dane we
say as much of the employer who
1 1 quired the time beyond the limit
of endurance to flush and brawn?
The hundred lives snuffed out in a
mine that could have been made sale
for years for J 1,000 to J&.000. Pro
):ietois, boss and workmen knew It
was uot safe. Now, who is to blame
for those 100 murders? A jury can
say "Neglect of the boss caused it."
Dare they say that of the wealthy
owner? Nay, verily.
Anyone who kills a baby is a mur
derer of deepest, blackest dye. But
how about the man who owned the
lire-trap in New York where 145
women left earth on a fiery chariot?
Did lawyers, judge and Jurymen say
he was a murderer? To ask the
question is to raise a smile at least,
dross negligence is malice afore
thought. A rioter Is a 'murderer.
He who starts a war and sets men
to wholesale murder is called a pa
triot. Cain might be his brother's keeper
while alive, but. "Lord, he is dead.
I do not know where lie is now. How
can 1 keep him?"
Now, we hold someone responsible
if others die. Science keeps strict
book account. In a borne a fair girl
sickens and dies, it's no use to say,
"The Lord gave and he took away."
Science shows the filth of cellar,
yard and barn, and says "Murderer."
So it comes home to all of us who
help make laws that I am a man
slayer if by my carelessness, if no
worse, someone or more die.
Thus out of t 111:
the meat of life
strong may come
latter may come
and from this
the sweet of a
purer, nobler life.

come of the delegate contests, Col.
Roosevelt would be the republican
nominee.
"There will be about 200 con
tests," said Mcllarg, "and we expect
to win at least a majority of them
for Colonel Roosevelt, although he
can be nominated without winning a
contest, President Tal't knows this
and has known it for weeks. Colonel
Roo:-evelt is the only republican who
can be elected."
Alcllarg declared that he expected
to win the contests on the Indiana
delegates-at-large, where the attack
is aimed at Colonel Harry S. New,
chairman of the sub-committee on
arrangements for the committee, and
also the Missouri delegates-at-large.
Credentials from !)J0 of 1,070 del
egates to the republican national
convention have bet n received by
Secretary llayward of the national
committee. In the list are the names
of two women delegates-at-large
elected in the California direct pri

and Mrs. Isabella W. Il'anev.
Notice of contests were received i

Suf-
Although the peach crop of the
Willamette valley Is almost a total
loss on account of the cold season,
Professor Lewis of the Oregon Agri
cultural College says other fruits will
fully make up for that shortage.
"Plums and prunes are reported
as a light crop." he says, "but it is
mere than likely that the thinning
will prove something of a benefit, as
the quality is so much more apt to
be high grad? and demand a higher
price when it comes to marketing
them. Pears, cherries and apples are
exceptionally good this year. The
cherry outlook is reported thus far
to he very good indeed, and there is
a good demand for cherries for can
ning and for the maraschino process,
from outside. One cannery alone in
California has toiitractcd for half a
million pounds of Royal Amies, at
the rati: of $St a ton, from one re
gion of Oregon."
Professor Lewis reports a great
iulerest in horticultural by-products
in this state at present. One man,
in conversation with him recently,
said that if he had come to the col
lege a year ago he could have paved
$1,000 on his plant, taking advan
tage of the opportunities for saving
much that is now wasted, by manu
facturing by-products.
Three sections of the new edition
of the Encyclopaedia of Horticulture,
soon to be issued by Dean L. II. Bai
ley of the Cornell College of Agri
culture, are to be written by Profes
sor Lewis. In addition to the section
on the apples of the Pacific coast,
he will write on the horticulture of
Oregon and on the loganberries 0f
the Pacific coast.

Garden Prizes.
Many of the gardens and ranches
in this valley are producing fruit,
nuts, vegetables, etc., in such variety
that the family table can be supplied
almost entirely with loud of home
production.
With a desire to stimulate interest
in the cultivation or the home gar
den, the Tidings will give to sub
scribers two prizes of one dollar each
for the best meal served from ma
terial of their own production.
One prize will be for a purely veg
etarian dinner, using no meat. How
ever, niiik and eggs can be included
in this meal, if desired.
The other prize will be for a regu
lar meal, including meat, and any
thing home grown.
This prize will apply during the
month of July, so all will have an
opportunity from now on to do their
best along the line of garden cultiva
tion. We will leave the verdict as to the
quality of the meal to yourself and
friends, only send us the menu as
served.
Anyone desiring to enter tills con
test, please send us your name on a
postcard.
In case other foods than your own
growing are used, it should be so
stated.
