LYNCHING AND PARDONS Since President Roosevelt, seconded j by a number of state governors, asked j might be well if the legislature would newspapers, preachers and teachers to j provide that courts be held more fr? take up the subjecf of lynching and de- I quently , or continuously; and that less nounce It, there has been a terrible In- j time be required to elapse between a veighing against the crime. The public judgment and its execution particularly mind has been thoroughly refreshed ! in cas.-s of capital punishment. It may on the subject of lynching. Writers and speakers took their cue. Columns and pages have been written, lectures and sermons delivered on the subject Anyone who does not know that in this j country we lynch people, Is convicted i of blindness and deafness. And yet with all the writing and talking, it would be hazardous to say that Judge Lynch has been buried. No negroes have b?en roasted the past few days but the country has been trained to suspect there are those ready to apply the torch upon sufficient provocation. It cannot be said at this time, that the crusade against lynching has b?en al together successful. There is as yet no convincing evidence the evil is , stamped out. In fact the course of procedure adopted may be considered an Innovation and its efficacy may be doubted. Appeal to criminals to re frain from crime hag never been ef fectual. The only result of the crasad? so far discernible is the attracting of genera! attention to the growing tend- j ency to lynching, which. a", agree, is a serious menaca to the government itself The cause is yet to be agreed upon, the cure applied. The alarm, it Is to be noted, is sound ed from the executive department of government The president and gover nors speak as individuals but their ut terances cannot be stripped of official significance and must be treated ac cordingly. It Is strongly hinted by the president and governors that the remedy lies in a reform in the co-ordinate branches of government, the legislative and ju dicial departments. The legislature, it is suggested, should enact laws bring ing the legal procedure nearer the standard of p?rfection and the applica tion of these laws should be freed from every vestige of technicality and delay. This lecture from the executive and addressed to the legislative and judi cial departments is reactive and brings to the front the question of the duty of the executives federal and state. It may be conceded that the course of legal procedure needs amendment. It Suffer With 1 MS The world to-day is full of innocent sufferers from that most loathsome disease, Contagious Blood Poison. People know in a general way that it is a bad disease, but if all its horrors could be brought before them they would shun it as they do the Leprosy. Not only the person who contracts It Buffers, but the awful taint is transmitted to children, and the fearful sores and eruptions, weak eyes, Catarrh, and other evidences of poisoned blood Bhow these little innocents are suffering the awful consequences of some body's sin. So highly contagious i3 this form of blood poison that one may be contaminated by handling the clothing or other articles in use by a person afflicted with ths miserable disease. There is danger even in drink ing from the same vessel or eating out of the same tableware, as many pure and innocent men and women have found to their sorrow. The virus of Contagious Blood Poison is so .... ... - - ffiTS BLOOD POISON IS NO first little sore appears the whole " tt'iATS RESPECTER OF PERSONS tainted with the poison , and the Bkin is soon covered with a red rash, ulcers break nut in the month, and throat, swellings appear in the groins, anu uniess tne ravages 01 me disease are checked at this etage, more violent and dangerous symptoms appear in the form of deep and offensive feores, copper colored splotches, terrible pain3 in bones and muscleSand general breaking down of the system. S. S. S. is a specific for Contagious Blood Poison and the only remedy that antidotes this peculiar virus and makes a radical and complete cure of the disease. Mercury and Potash hold it in check so long as the system is Under their influence, but when the medicine is left off the poison breaks out again as bad or worse than ever. Besides, the use of these minerals bring on Rheumatism and stomach troubles of the worat kind, and frequently pro duce bleeding and sponginess of the gums and decay of the teeth. S. S. S. cures Blood Poison in all stages and even reaches down to hereditary taints can be taken without any injurious effects to health, and an experience of nearly fifty years proves beyond doubt that it cures Contagious Blood Poison completely and permanently.

V' mi 11 "' be admitted that technicalities some times stand in the way of justice and that there are sometimes unneccessary delays in criminal" trials. But these are not the only nor principal means of cheating the gallows of its victim, pent- tentlaries of their Inmates. Chief ex ecutives through the panlpning power may come between the criminal and his deserts and this they have freely done. 'l nrougn the pardon of governors murderers are unhung and convicted rapists, "hieves, thugs and cut-throats infest the tountry. The pardon record of the governors of the forty-five states for the past ten years opened to public gaze would be appalling and one would b? left to ask if there be anyone left in the penitentiaries. Pardoning power abused is an evil concomitant with lynching and executives however ve hemently they may denounce lynching must accept responsibility for the grinding of the pardon mills.. For ex ample of abuse of the pardoning power one need not go outside of Oregon. The late Gvernor Pennoyer was the record maker for the state. During his term the prison gates swung outward and the rate at which convicts were re leased through his misplaced sympa thy was alarming. Many of Pennoyers pardoned criminals were sent back to the penitentiary before his term ex pired. Governor Lord, his successor, pardoned fewer during the first two yeas of his term, but towards th lat ter end the flood gates were opened. Governor Geer used the pardoning pow,. er more sparingly than either Pennoy er or Lord. Governor Chamberlain has occupied the executive chair but a few months and his record, considering his contact with criminal life as prosecut ing attorney is not what might b? ex. potted. The cure for lynching the gov ernor said, lies in refraining from the crime of rape and yet one, of Governor Chamberlains first official acts, if mem ory serv-s us right, was the pardoning cf a rapist. More recently he inter fered with the sentence of the court and prevented the hanging of young the hair and eyebrows fall out,- never gives inv trouble of H Innocent The Guilty ana removes all traces of the poison and saves the victim from the pitiable cont quences of this monster scourge. As long as a drop of the virus is left In the blood it is liable to break out, and there is danger of transmitting the disease to others, S. S. S. is C U lira tit Apfl mimltr YrArrof oKIa an A Peacock who shot down a cltix.n of Polk county. Peacock had counsel and a fair trial ami physicians were sum moned and testified to bis sanity before a jury that found him guilty. From the circuit court the cause was trans ferred to the chief executive and the governor summoned some physicians in the employ of the state and perhaps one other. A h.wing was had and the governor decided the accused was a degenerate and should not be put to death. The executive department thre fore set asld the Judgment of thevoourt notwithstanding a protest from the states attorney and the people of the community where the crime was com-, mitted. In a statement to the public explanatory of his action the governor set out the fact that striking irregu larities In the rotundity of the nnir deteis tody were discovered and cogni ance was not taken of these defects by th? court. As described by the gov ernor. Peacock Is a miserable deform ity sent Into the world before his time, scarce half made up. a modem counter part of the popular conception of Shakespeare's King Richard III. By measurement It was found to be as far from a point on this condemed mur derer's breast back to his shoulders as t-om his shoulders down to his hips. Then it was found the head did not fit properly on the shoulders. But lack of comlin?ss did not stay his murderous hand nor convince tie Polk county court that he should be exempt from the operations of the law. By a jury of twelve he was found guilty of murder in the first degree and by petition the people acquainted with the circumstan ces of the killing asked that the courts decree be carried out. but the governor, set aside the judgment and turned down the petition an act calculated to sew seeds of 'ynch law in the minds of law abiding people. The exiense of a costly trial, counted for naught with the pardoning power, and the people who bore the expense are left without the security, to which by law, they are entitled. Peacock will hardly be released from the penitentiary by Governor Chamber lain, but other governors will fill the executive chair, and Peacock, with his nose pressed against the bars of his ; cell and gazing into space may excite j the over-compassionate nature of an- other executive on his rounds of prison j inspection and it is not at all unlikely j the people of Polk county will again ! be at the mercy of his gun. The same j considerations that lead to a eommu- tation of sentence, would move a Pen noyer to- give Peacock his freedom. With the crime of Peacock, and a dem onstration of the power of pardon au thority to nullify the safeguard they had expected through legal procedure.lt should not surprise the head of the ex ecutive department of the state If the n?xt murderer who starts Into killing off Polk county citizens is strung up, though he measure as far from a point on his breast back to his shoulders as from the shoulders down to the tendons of his heels. It is not necessary for the governor i ofOregon to go to one of the Gulf states ; . to find a cause for lynching nor should 1 Ihft Arn,llti,-au .,,.,.. .....1 .i . . .1 ..... nuir mm o.ocrai lOOK to the courts for a remedy until the ex ecutive officers are ready to co-op. rate in meting out Justice to criminals. The antl-lynching movement wns di rected particularly against lynching of negroes in the south. Negroes arc lynched in the south because it is there they live in great numbers anil it is there th?y terrorize with their inhuman Crimea. Since the days of slavery the southern negro has developed a species id bestiality that has been a promoter of lynching bees in the south and these unspeakable crimes have much to do with the anti-negro feeling and it Is a fe?ling that cannot safely be ignored in appointing negroes to federal po sitions. The president has not recog- nized the conditions and used the di plomacy that might hav been imploy 'A in making his appointments from among the negro race and, while it probably cannot be said that any lynch ings, are directly traceable to his ap pointnunts.they have Intensif)' d thefeel ing agaln.-ft the negro in many places thus promoting '.he crime he would now stop through public appeal. Thehonesty of purpose on the part of the prresldent and governors in their endeavor to check the growth of lynching, none will question, but it will require their co operation along lin jg of official duty to put it down Though the spring season was late, attended by rains, the outlook for good crops Is good. Grain and fruit in the Willamette valley look well and If rain at picking time does not interfere a good crop of hops will be saved. In southern Oregon, the peach crop Is re ported somewhat short on account of late frosts but other fruits, grain and hay promise a fair yield. In eastern Oregon grain Is turning out fairly well and Is commanding a good price. Live stock-men of the state are prosperous and have money to loam The prune crop of the state is expected to go be yond all previous yields. A fairly good run of salmon has been saved from the Columbia, The dairy Interests of the state are expanding.
