Clarendon. 1 I A POLICY OF EVASION. 4 A local contemporary publishes a brace of editorials upon the general toplo of ofllclal corruption, one of them called forth by the scandal In the ; Postofflce Department, and the other by the fraud In the land office at Eugene. These two editorials afford as good an illustration aa could be found of the culpable Iddifference which to In great measure responalble for ' ' the dishonesty so constantly coming to light In national, state and municipal affairs. Public officials who have been guilty of wrong-doing would read our Contemporary! utterances with keen satUfactlon and entire approval. la the discussion of the postal frauds, our contemporary, after a series f aimless Interrogations aa to tha extent of corruption lh national affairs. Observes that Inasmuch as the people have always believed that the public ervlce Is clean and efficient. "LET US CONTINUE 80 TO BELIEVE, S. NOTWITHSTANDING. THESE 8HAMELE8S DISCLOSURES IN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, HOPING THAT THEY ARE DUE TO A SEARCHING HUNT FOR WHATEVER OFFICIAL CROOKEDNESS " AND -WICKED- , MESS EXIST, AND THE DETERMINATION TO SUPPRESS THEM, AND TO WEED THE SERVICE OF ALL DISHONEST MEN." , Upon the subject of the land office frauds ,at Eugene, this newspaper " apologist (or official corruption displays the same maudlin sentimentality 'Which Induce foolish women to send flowers and missives to the cell of the . condemned murderer. Concerning the young woman who was formerly Land Commissioner, and wbo Is now a fugitive from Justice, it is editorially re- (narked: 'Tier delinquency is particularly to be regretted because it dispels " the pretty Illusion we nearly all entertained that a woman In such a position , could do no wrong. A disquisition follows upon the relative honesty of men and women In public office. "Alas," sighs this milk and water exponent of morality, "Miss Ware's caae to evidence that she X woman) Is as liable to temptation aa man." ,. But there Is a audden rebound from this pessimism. "Nay, let ut still 'believe,'' eailh this preacher, "notwithstanding Miss Ware's lapse, that women as a rule would be rather more conscientious, would yield rather lea readily to such temptation aa that which caused her downfall. She .. probably was told that 'they all did it, that these practices were common and indeed universal; and In this she was not very much misinformed." After this complete reversal of the opinion expressed In the previous editorial., the sermon concludes; "Poor Miss Ware but let it be remembered that at the worst she is no worse than a lot of men who hold or have held . similar positions." V Thus ends the flabby moralising. j ' It la precisely this spirit which encourages frauds . and dishonesty In X public office. IT WAS PRECISELY THI8 ATTITUDE ON THE PART OF THE LOCAL PRESS, IN THE DAYS WHEN PORTLAND'S NEWSPAPER MONOPOLY REIGNED WITHOUT COMPETITION, WHICH FOSTERED t THE 8HAMELE8S CORRUPTION THE JOURNAL IS NOW BRINGING , TO LIGHT. "Let us continue to believe that everything Is all right," said the editor. as he closed his eyes, and the looting of the taxpayers went merrily on. '"Possibly some delinquency or lapse has occurred, but let us hope that it : Is. not serious," was the comment as the stealings grew greater and the county's debt Increased. Official dishonesty is indeed a regrettable thing. It Is all the more re V grettable when the criminal to a woman. But when the public press, which should be the most vigilant and most Jealous guardian of the rights of the people, descends to the role of an abject apologist for the wrong doers and seeks to minimize their offense, It deserves only contempt. i( . , waaw OMAvm -wxnvsr - rfiflil Til y a ' ii- WStsV III I .-.--u.-A .

MINISTERS SPEAK ON LOCAL STRIKE WORTHY OF ODD STEEL , " It to interesting to observe the gen eral expressions . of confidence, in the English sporting Journals, that Sir . Thomas Upton's Shamrock III is the long-looked-for cup winner that Is to wrest the coveted trophy from Amer- teal The dismay excited by the chal- lerujer'a recent catastrophe has been ' allayed by the assurances of her owner that all damages will be repaired in ample season to permit her to enter the race at the scheduled time. English ; yachtsmen generally regard Shamrock III aa the best and speediest boat that has ever been entered as a competitor for 'the America cup. - The Yachtsman observes: "It really eema that this time the cup is in real Canger" ' The Yachting World comments as ' follows upon the appearjice of the 1 Challenger: Every fresh etep taken in the develop ' ment of 81r Thomas Llpton s new chal lenger, from the day when the bare hull was slipped Into the water until her first appearance under the whole cloud of her fine weather racing canvas, has gone to T confirm the impression that she is by far the most beautiful boat ever built bere for cup racing. The hull, with its tair and easy curves and ship-like ehape, : was modeled on lines exceptionally pleasing to the eye; the spars liad none of that top-heavy look which was the moat characteristic feature of the early para of steel, and the sail plan looks both well balanced and likely to do ef fective work. , ' , So far as it is possible to judge at this time,, Mr. Fife has surpassed all his previous creations in the line of .racing machines and if the American defender Shall prove equal to expec tations the coming international raceB ;, wlli be the most notable that have yet occurred. The trial performances of the Reliance are awaited with keenest Interest. Is one of the gravest Importance, and the course pursued by President Roosevelt has aroused the most Intense feeling. In Northern and Western states the issue will be comparatively unimportant, but in the South it XM be the great pivotal feature of the" coming campaign. Southern Demo crats and Southern Republicans alike believe that the President is resolved to trample under foot the racial pre Judice which Is more than a religion to the white population, of that section, President Roosevelt has made the blunder natural to a man Of head strong and Imperious temperament He has undertaken to eradicate by an edict the deep-rooted sentiment which is universal among the people of the South. He has fancied that by the mere exercise of his authority he can wipe out a prejudice which has existed for generations and which only the lapse of time and the gradual uplifting of the colored race can eliminate. It Is the clash of theory with condition and the condition must triumph. Grover Cleveland was right when he said let the South alone. Intelligent men must deprecate her prejudice against the colored race and must ear nestly hope for the day of race equal lty, but they must realize that coer cion win not overcome the one nor hasten the coming- of the other. ThltW. fror the fcoosEvars race policy. It is noticeable that President Roose velt has thus far said nothing during his western trip upon the race question and his policy of appointing negroes to office in fhe .Southern state. Ii la a toplo which he can scarcely afford to overlook If he proposes to continue to give to the public his views upon the Important issues of the day. J- Fortunately in. this part. of the Union, race prejudice -to ai Its min imum, fcut in other atatas the problem Marriage, according to one of the delegates to the recent old maids' con vention, ia the Siberia of womanhood. This is quite at variance with the con clusions' of that other student of the subject, who observed; nt all the women In the world w ere -on one side of a wide river and ajl the men were on the other side, how wet the poor women would get." " A gentle sephyr from Chinook. Wash. wafts the intelligence that an Anti Treatlng League has been formed In that town. There have been many similar organisations, and as a rule they a'e composed of teetotalers, men who never have the price Or men Who never treat. The seductive invitation to "have one with me" will probably beJ heard Just as frequently aa ever In the social gathering places of Chinook. The president of the German Reich -stag ww snowbound while on Ms way Local labor difficulties were the subject of comment by the ministers of the gos pel yesterday, the prevailing opinion being In favor of arbitration, although the clergy la not in absolute harmony on the question. Following are extracts from aome of the aermona: Rev. William E. Randall, Independent Baptist Church, aaid that It waa paradox ical that a feeling of prosperity in the commercial world, and amid utmost har mony In the political world, should be attended by fierce struggles In the In dustrial departments. He took tba ground that tha present conditions of industrial unrest here are Indicative of the general feeling elsewhere. However, he thought that the existence of labor troubles was an evidence of race progress, holding It to be the duty and right of men to lm prove their conditions. Rev. Randall advised arbitration. Rev. Jerome McQlade, Uispab Presby terian Church, held that arbitration was more Justifiable now than ever before. Hla toplo waa, "Tha Principle of Media tion In Its Social and Religious Bear Inga," taken from the biblical text, "Nei ther Ia There Any Daysman Betwixt Us That Might Lay His Hands Upon Us Bath." Rev. McGlade quoted General Grant aa once havlna aald: "Thousrh I have bean trained aa a soldier and have participated in many battles, there never waa a time 1q my opinion when soma reaaon could not have been found for preventing the drawing- of the sword. I look forward to an npch when a court recognised by all nation will settle In ternational differences." Ray. McGlade held that no matter how conflicting the contentions, these principles would not surfer by mediation. Rev. Andrew J. Montgomery. Presbyterian Church, Impresses the pub lic with the obligation of furthering arbitration In the present crisis. The positive injury resulting to all oltlsens alike by the continuance of the strike waa referred to forcibly, and no matter what the outcome might be the loss ln lnfticted would be appalling. Rev. E. L. House. First Congregational Church, Bald that It was not right that the unions should dictate to the non union workmen what he shall and shall not do. He believed that workmen should be classified as skilled and un skilled, and lamented the fact that many employee were not worth what they were demanding. Rev. House thou ant that arbitration as a means of settling labor and capital contentions was the only proper method. A further tie-up of business would, in his opinion, handicap the 1906 Kalr. Rev. John C. Hughes, St. Lawrence Church, admitted that the Catholic Churches leaned toward the working man. The church is made up largely of laboring men. said he, and it was no wonder that the priests favored the toller as long as his cause appeared to be Just. Kev. Hugnea argued that since the cost of living had advanced In this city materially it was only Just that the Wages oi working men should be raised too. Rev. John E. Simpson, St. Mark's episcopal Church, urged arbitration as the proper means of adjusting the differ ences between capital and labor. He observed that the coat of llvtng. house rent, etc., had Increased considerably in the past year and took that as an in dication that wages must be raised ac cordingly. ... Rev. W. B. Hogan. St. Patrick's Church, advised giving the laboring man the benent or tne donbt. He certainly needs it. Let the prices " of groceries and rents go up. but let wages rise ac cordingly was his idea. The unions were referred to as being the salvation of the laboring classes today and the trusts were blamed for the existence of the unions. Arbitration was recommended. Rev. E. R. Hill. First Presbyterian Church, spoke briefly on the present strike and favored' arbitration immedi ately. ..... W. B. JSSOia IS IS FOXTUItD. Voted Railroad Official Comes to Opaa STew Office.

W. W. Woodard. of the firm fl Woods rd ft Clarke, the celebrated Pet, land Drugglata, today- appeared at hla oeak for tha first time In several montha Mr. Woodard has Just returned from a trip to the Hawaiian Islands, where he went In search of health. Mra Wood ard accompanied her huaband and both feel much benefited by tha aea voyage and sojourn in the semi-tropical Islands. According to Mr. Woodard there la great difference of opinion regarding the labor situation in the Hawallana. "While the plantation owners want Oriental workmen," he added, the mar clianta and bualness men clamor for white persons only. The reason for thla ia that Orientals work so cheaply that they cannot afford to spend their money for luxuries, and when they are com pelled to purchase necessities they do ae from , their own kith and kin and do not patronise American or European ahop keepers. In this way the white business men find trade very poor an4 Duaineas depressed. Sugar Business Dull. "On the other hand tha plantation owners are unable to realise anything from the sugar business, the only real Industry on the islands, unless they get their help dirt cheap. The native will not work end has no Intelligence, even If he would. For this reason sugar rais ers declare Oriental workmen to be necessity. "Meantime there Is literally nothing doing and money Is scarce. There ia considerable wealth In the Islands, but It- la In the. hands of a few and does not gain circulation. The stores do a limit ed amount or buslnesa with the rich, but the wealthy prefer to send to the states for most of their goods." "What is the feeling of the natives toward the Vnlted States!" was asked of Mr. Woodard, and he replied that the native reeling did not count. "The average native Hawaiian la a tiola-hater.' " he said. "By that is meant that he hatea all foreigners. But the average native Is worthless and the race of Hawallana Is rapidly dying out. Their death is due largely to their gorging on masses of doughy paste made from American flour and enten raw. This is in Imitation of the "poI" they ate years ago. but it is now prac tically impossible to obtain their former diet and they have fallen back on more civilized fare, with fatal results."

Further testimony showed that Brown Informed the Countess he wras the son of the Em peror of Austria. Brown says after the countess Be lieved him to be a Prince he "was litef ally dragged into marriage and had no idea of committing an offense. That a foul murder has been com mitted in Portland, and that Edward Carpenter is the victim, Is the firm be lief of Miss Ida Carpenter, his sister. She arrived in this city last night from San Francisco, seeking to find her brother, and discovered him to be among the missing. Ha has been working aa porter at the Merchant's Hotel for two weeks, but has been missing for several days. This afternoon Miss Carpenter called at the police station and Informed Chief Hunt that her brother was missing, and that she firmly believed he had been killed. She stated that an enemy who had been following him through the East and Middle West, vowing vengeance, had left San Francisco but a few days ago for Portland. That the two men have met and engaged in mortal combat to. settle an old feud, is the theory of Miss Carpenter. To The Journal Miss Carpenter stated that her brother and the man alluded to an his enemy, had had trouble over a woman in Kansas City. "I do not know the name of the man my brother had trouble with," stated Miss Carpenter, "but I have heard Edward say that he feared he weuld be murdered some day by this man. Who he is, or what he is, I do not know. I and my people have worried greatly over the matter for many months, and now I believe that he has actually been murdered, as he feared he would be. "I went to see the proprietors of the Merchant Hotel, but they cruelly told me that my brdther had beeh arrested last week by a man from some Eastern City on a charge of murder. They would give mo no satisfaction . whatever, so I came to the police and told them my fears. They have promised me oo-od- eratlon In locating my brother if he Is alive and have promised to bring the murderer to Justice, If it develops he has been murdered. So anxious am I over this matter, that I have employed the Plnkerton agency to help me. I feel that my poor brother, is now lying somewhere dead. This Is a most ter rible experience, and I am almost dis tracted over It" Edward Carpenter Is 27 years of age, and according to the declarations of his sister, has no bad habits, She states that he never drank, .to excess, never gambled and had never been involved in nny previous trouble. "The matter will receive a full and complete investigation," said Chief Hunt. "I do not know what to think of the woman's story. In some respects It seems peculiar, but nevertheless, it will be investigated immediately. Murder may have been committed, and, again, the man may be oft on some business affair. , .

I know too much about you to be allowed ray liberty," continued Lynch. "Well, you are at liberty to tell any thing discreditable you know about me," replied the Sheriff. "No, I'm not:" exclaimed Lynch. "If I were to tell what I know about you I would Implicate some of my friends, and that alone deters me," answered Lynch.
