TELEPHONE MAIN 661. THE WEATHER- Oregon, Washington, Idaho Fair warmer. HEMBREE. Hembree, the monster out oi Tilla mook, who murdered his wife to stifle her reproaches for his graver crime of ruining his own daughter, who was sent to the penitentiary up on an indeterminate term sentence an J who was subsequently, after a short incarceration, pardoned out by Gov ernor Chamberlain, to that officer's sharp discredit, is again under the stress of the law for the murder of that daughter, having been found guilty thereof by a Polk county jury night before last. He is an incarnate-pervert, and the Governor of Oregon will do his duty by this people if he makes it his official business to see to it that whatever sentence is pronounced on the man, this time, is allowed to stand to the utter fulfilment. Creatures of the Hembree type are a menace to society always, and must be barred away from it, either by detention, or death. There is no alternative nameable, save recourse to the code of Japan, and that might be invoked with a fair prospect of toleration in this country just now; it would, at least, spare us the re enactment of these crimes after the perpetrator had received the maudlin and mistaken clemency that turns him back upon an outraged public. REUF. The news comes up from San Fran cisco that the Reuf jury failed to agree, and the man must be tried again. The presumption is quite rea sonable that he will be tried many times again, before the technicalities that hedge about his cases will be eliminated sufficiently to permit the play of exact justice; since it can be nothing but vagaries of legal practice that interfere with the ultimate con clusions of jury and court in his case. .This man is, of course, technically innocent of every one of the hundreds of offenses alleged against him; but, all the same, he is, in the public eye and conscience of the Pacific Coast people, notoriously and flagrantly guilty of them all. San Francisco will stultify herself if, in the end this man goes free, though beggard, from her courts; and we cannot, with our knowledge of her people, believe that he will void the law and die unim peached of its ban. WILCOX. The Astorian reiterates its warning of three months ago, that Portland intends to send its own man to the United States Senate this winter, and that the man is to be Theodore B. Wilcox. The people up there are talking through the mask that is supposed to hold this concerted scheme in abeyance and free of public discus sion, and the talk is not at all am biguous if one happens to know just whom to talk to. It is all very well to gratify one's peculiar political tastes, predilections, or ambitious notions, by champion ing Statement No. 1; by employing one's prestige in the camp of the opposition; by setting up machine political headquarters where they will, supposedly, do the most good; by stumping the State, and otherwise doing the customary, or the specta cular, thing; but the cold fact re mains, and will remain to the end, that the dominant, centralized, non political, business power, the com mercial interests of Oregon, as typi fied and solidified at Portland, have ordained the man and the issue and will brook no denial nor defeat. There is nothing far-fetched in this in this situation; it is perfectly logi cal from the Portland viewpoint, and trill have the weight of every frac- tion of Portland money, influence and manipulation that can be swung to its complete and unabridged ful filment, during the Legislative ses sion next winter. Campaigns, elections, partisan alignments, deals and double-deals, have no bearing on the contrived and concrete purposes of the commercial cabal that is in charge of this program. It will GO! There's no politics in this deal! ROOSEVELT. As the years gather, and yield in contestable proof of the real values that have innurcd to the nation by the presidency of Theodore Roose velt, all men will have a truer and fuller estimate of the man and the influences he wrought and the high dictum he stood for, as leader, coun selor, friend and fellow-citizen of the Americans who honored him and whom he honored in turn. It is said that the good a man does lives long after he has passed away, and it may be added that the convic tions begotten of that good, mellow and expand, and reach out with wider and wider range of effect, the longer they dwell in the hearts and con sciences of his fellows who profit by the measure of those deeds; that, when time has removed the nearer and obscuring counter-effects that iiirround those high performances at the hour of their doing, and they can be viewed in the clear, they rise in volumne and value and take on the essential excellenc and primal worth that was not noted in the hour of con troversy and denial and baffling con tention; and this being so, there re mains for us all the gratification of knowing and appraising this great servant of ours with a profounder and more pndeful estimate than that we now enjoy. And this is good for us as it is good for Mr. Roosevelt and those who shall treasure his achieve ment at its very climax. .EDITORIAL SALAD, In a recent number of his paper Mr. Bryan referred to his farm once and to his political interests 135 times. He says his farm doesn't pay, but in spite of his indefatigable ef forts, neither does his politics, except in the lecture field. Belgium is taking steps to prevent the subdivision of the field of Water loo into building lots. The world would regret to part with that his toric place, and is unable to see that its destructive could be profitable in any sense of the word. It is said that the Filipino legisla tos are trying to get rid of American officials by cutting salaries. When the desired effect is produced the self-sacrifice is likely to change to a movement for a return to the old basis of compensation, in the opinion of experienced correspondents. A mounted parade of SO young Louisiana girls, chosen for beauty in the different parishes, will be one of the features of the inauguration of the governor-elect, who is a bachelor. If this Leap Year hint fails, the exe cutive mansion deserves to be called "the den" during the coming term. Woman Suffrage Once More. The woman suffrage amendment is to come before the people of Oregon for the fourth time on election day. Why should it be necessary to vote upon this question every two years? The suffragists know, as do all wom en, that when the majority of women want a thing done, that thing will be done. Then why have they for years been besieging legislators, presenting petitions, working, arguing and, late ly, fighting for their "rights," as they call them? Because a majority of women are not behind the movement. This is not a man's question; it is a woman's question. Let the women of the state decide that they want a vote before you force it upon them. Consult the women you know and vote as they wish on this matter, but vote, or the measure may slip through by the inattention of voters or the carelessness which will follow the large number of propositions submitted. COFFEE The world is full of anonymous coffee : "Java and Mocha." Who returns your money if you don't like 'em? Your groct return, jur njootr i! tn dosl Ilk Schilling! Bit; nr bin. In one part of Oregon a premium is paid for coyote scalps, and in tin other section coyotes are prized be cause they keep down the jack rabbit pest. Oregon shoud try to reach a coyote modus vivendi before trouble sets in. SUNDAY AT THE CHURCHES First Norw. Ev. Lutheran. Corner Twenty-ninth and Grand avenue.

More News From the New England States. If any one has any doubt at to the virtue of Foley's Kidney Cure, they need only to refer to Mr. Alvin II. Stimpson, of Wtllamnntic, Conn., who, after almost losing hope of re covery, on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley's Kidney Coure, which he says was "just the thing" for him, as four bottles cured him completely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering incident to acute kidney trouble. T. F. taurin, Owl Drug Store.
