EXPECTKI) REVERSAL. THE REVERSAL of Judge Landls' sensational judgment against the Standard Oil com , pany, recruiring it to pay a fine of $29,400,000. was only what t most well-informed people expected. The appellate court gives reasons for the reversal which, are presumably sufficient. In brlof, the higher court holds that the Statndard Oil com pany ai denied throe rights which re guaranteed by the constitution to every defendant, even though it fce a monopolistic- corporation that exacts tens of millions of exhorbitant profits yearly from ithe people. Judge Landls is declared to have made numerous errors, ospeciaiiy in as suming the functions of a jury and basing his sentence on facts ascer tained to his own satisfaction, where as a judge must be blind to facts. The defendant, the ajpjpellate court ays, was fined without-trial and even without indictment; which can't 2e done. Besides, the appellate court holds that Judge Landis was wrong throughout. In everything he did. He rejected proper evidence; he should have allowed everything asked for by the defendant, whereas ' he allowed nothing; and finally the fines. If any, should haveKbeen nom .. inal, or moderate. This ends the great prosecution of the glgrahtic octopus. Thftre is no likelihood of this decision being re versed, and under it there. Is not one Chance in a thousand of ever con victing the Standard Oil company and inflicting any punishment worth while! It appears that a nisi prius Judge In any such case la. sure to go wrong unless he decides all points In favor of a defendant monopoly. If he considers any facts they must be such as are favorable to the cor poration. 'The law has a thousand- i and-one loopholes of escape for any defendant like this. Besides, such a corporation can wear-out the people, the government; its forces can be - better handled and ane stronger. And the people cant change the laws, because congress legislates, aa a rule, for the corporations instead of for the people. This failure of the government accentuates and emphasizes the 'paramount issue," which is the necessity of the people regaining and maintaining greater power, and se curing better service from their of ficials, including the courts. These great combines, under the law, have entirely too much power. They must be regulated, restricted, controlled, and if necessary for this purpose laws must, be radically changed. They are now alsuost supreme in power, under our Saws, though they are mere creatures of the law. The people must gain the supremacy; the creator must control the creature. This will be the broad, central, "paramount issue" until the people get on top or become hopelessly and supinely the vassals of the monopo listic corporations.' of Increased and Improved water ways, as Senator Fulton says, why did It not do something in their be half during the sis months of the last session? That confess neglect ed and refused during all that time to do more thun one or two of a score of things that Prenldent Roosevelt urged it to do, and it is n piece of brnzen audacity for a Re publican to go before the people now and prouil.se that another congress Just like the last will do those things. Nobody can reasonably be lieve such representations. Cannon, Aldrlch, Elktns, Dalzoll ami the rent of them are not going to change their policies and performances any more than the Ethiopian is going to chango hia skin, or the leopard its spots. Wo shall hope, and even venture to expect, thilt the people will be able to bring euch a pressure to bear upon the next congress that It will yield something to waterways, but let nobody be so simple as to believe that the people are going to get anything of a congress like the last that the railroads and trusts oppose, except It be by herculean ef forts. Without a great change in its personnel and leadership, the next congress. Just like the last and Its predecessors, will be framed up for the trusts and railroads and against the people, and whatever the latter get they will have to fight for. and then they need expect only mor sels of what they need and deserve. There is no fall campaign in Ore gon on members of congress, so in such discussions we are free from supporting or opposing any state candidates, and these remarks have general and not social or local ap plication; but it would seem that with tho record of the last congress in view Republicans would better keep off the stump entirely this fall, and conduct a strictly gumshoe cam paign. The very mention of congress Is enough to turn a voter Into a Democrat, a Socialist, a Prohibition 1st, a Populist, an Independent, any thing except a member of the party that had a majority in the last congress. pride in' the home place to keep It in the forefront of progress. Those persons who drift into the contented sone of living off of ground rent and interest soon contract the inaludy of "Indolenco and don't care" and become more and more burdens to the rest of the com munity lacking In civic virtues and that public spirit which strengthens the home, builds up tho town and spreads the fame of county and state. In short the Interest and ground rent outers, so long as they are without other "visible means of support," are ''deadheads" on . tho voyage of earthly existence, and make the lives of any number of other people harder and more barren in conse quence.

TAFT made a speech Mon day on the occasion of dedi eating a courthouse, In which he Is said to have "congratu Bath county upon the fact that In it two political parties are nearly eaually divided, which, he said, was a guarantee against evils in the administration of the govern ment." Mr. Taft, then, while he might prefer a Republican majority in congress, would prefer only a email majority, and therefore would advise the substituti i;i of some Democrats for Republicans In both houses. And while he would doubtless like to see more Republican votes in the south, he f" ourse would also re joice to i a lot of Republicans turn Democrats in Pennsylvania, New England, Ohio, and other west ern' states, where the Republican majorities have become too large. lie is right, If there is to be "gov ernment by party," as it is insisted that there must be- though we do not agree to the proposition. If a "party" is to govern, then it must have but a moderate majority and be in constant fear of defeat, or else evils in the administration of gov ernment" will grow up and multiply. Admitting the "party" theory, the country is better off if the elector ate, and congress, are divided nearly eauallv, and the same is true In a state. Mr. Taft frankly acknowledges this fact, and it is to his credit that he does sb during or at the begin ning of a campaign. lie virtually advises the election of a lot of Demo crats to congress In the northern states, and an evening up of the pop ular vote both north and south, and his advice is sound.

In this same town of Pendleton, where there are three banks, all en trusted with liberal funds by their depositors, a well advertised woolen mill is closed for want of someone with a little energy, enterprise and HE country needs a rest, howls the mammonlzed New York World, in argu ins; for the election of Mr. Taft. "The country needs a rest.' ululates the New York Evening Post. "The country needs a rest," yelps the whole chorus of mammon- serving organs in the east, and al ready several newspapers In Oregon are cuckooing the refrain. "Thank heaven Mr. Taft will. If elected, understand the constitu tional limitations of tho presidential office," exclaimed Senator Spooner in a speech at Yale, and comment ing on this Jab at President Roose velt, the New York Evening Post adds, "a certain robust person In eye glasses will please take notice." Ex-Secretary Leslie M. Shaw, crea ture of Wall street, jabbing at the president's attempts to prosecute the trusts, declared in a Taft ratification meeting, "criminal prosecution is not the object of government." And so the chorus swells. Reac tion thinks its turn has come to even iid with the proslrent. They hail Mr. Taft as their Moses, while pre paring to drive a political poniard through Mr. Roosevelt and his pol icies. It matters not that the presl dent has the support and approval ot nine tenths of the American peo ple. It matters not that since the days of Lincoln. Mr. Roosevelt has been the one president resolute In the demand of equal justice for all It matters not that he appealed from the White House to congress for remedial legislation that the country clamored for and needed. It mat ters not that he used the presiden tial office and Its great prestige to break up the unholy alliance of dis honest "Interests" with the govern ment. It matters not that more than any other president he de nounced "rich malefactors of wealth" and went to great lengths to awaken the public conscience against those who amass swollen fortunes through special favors from government. Nothing matters now in the game of politics that Is to be played, in which Mammon proposes that, for his pains in behalf of 5the great American commonality, Mr. Roosevelt shall bo punished, Roose- veltlsm and Roosevelt policies are to be discredited. The intrepid man himself Is to be howled and hissed at as a scapegoat. The people are to be taught, if possible, that his meth ods and his theories are wrong and dangerous. The one presidential ef fort that has been made to pull the j government back into its old anchor age is to be held up as a vain man's folly, to be hooted at, howled at and jeered at by the hyenas of Wall street. "The country needs a rest," howls the World. "The country needs a rest," ululates the Evening Post. "The country needs a rest," cbor uses the whole pack, hoping to get back to their prey, when Roosevelt gets out of and Taft gets into the White House.

UK slaughter of the Innocents Is not confined to Kislilneff or Teheran. True, we do not see such vivid reports of the fatali ties, but they are entered on city and county records. The slaughter of the Innocents has reached such alarm ing proportions In New York during the heated term that a plan has been put Into execution by the .health de partments in conference with the de partment of education, and a plan form ulated for reaching Ignoriint mothers who through carelessness let their babies die in the hot weather, not by ones or even by tens, but by hundreds. The conference on the summer care of babies Is the result of this scheme Tor reaching the tenement mothers, and the organization has been working through the children of these families who attend the public schools. A large number of printed cards were sent to every teacher of every school room. These cards, which may be had for the asking, are printed In bright inks and have a picture of u tenement baby done In bright colors, In proper tenement surroundings. These cards arranared for bunging on bare walls, have Instruc tions on the care und feeding of babies In hot weather so plainly printed that the gist of the advice must, It would seem, penetrate every mother's brain. These cards of Instruction would be of little use. however. If it were not that the department of health of tho lty has many stations where milk and ee are given to those who cannot Day them and where medical assistance can be summoned at any moment. This method of campaign It Is hoped will save the lives of hundreds of babies during the heuted term. The heavy.

He was "born In the purple," being descended from Epis copal bishops on both sides of the household. And though living In affluence all his life, he was for a man in his position extremely demo cratic, ana was constantly striving in various practical ways to benefit the poor and the needy. He was a man of high intellectual attainments and of great moral courage, and dared to do his duty as he saw It, regardless of criticism from high or low.

Court ney, now a delegate to the national con vention of the Ancient Order of Hiber nians at Indianapolis, was tha verdict of the coroner's Jury this morning. Dr. Courtney left for the east July 14. He is expected home August 4. I'r. J. AV. Morrow was wining; to perform the operation, but was not willing to extend credit, testified the dead girl's older sister. Tho sister, Lillian Bennett, aged 24, a waitress, together with Dr. Courtney, will In all probability face the grand Jury. The district attorney's office now has the matter under investigation, though no formal charges have yet been laid. Louis Bowen. an employe of the Wells Fargo Express company, was arrested last evening In connection with the case. He Is now In the cltv Jail. At the Inquest Bowen swore that Stella would not marry him. Under pressure from the older sister he gave her $30 with which to pay the doctor's bill. In this he was corroborated by the testimony of Lillian Bennett. The unfortunate girl's parents knew nothing of her illness until she was taken to St. Vincent's hospital. W. p. Bennett, living at 869 Kast Glisan street, the girl's home, is vice president of the American Mining syn dicate, a company handling a gold-saving machine. He testified that he had heen absent from the city and knew nothing of the girl's Illness until his return, July 10. The mother. Mrs. Alice Bennett, the mother of nine children, testified that she knew nothing about the matter, that Bowen told he he wanted to marry Stella, but that the girl would not marry him, as she was "mad" at Bowen. As I'r. Courtney Is absent from the city, having left here July 14. his side was not presented at the lnquept which was held at tho Holman establishment and continued for two hours. Dr. Nor rien had forbidden the burial of Stella Bennett until the case could be Investi gated, his suspicions being aroused at the time of the girl's death at the hos pital, where Dr. E. H. Parker found the girl was In the last stages of septlce-mla. According to the story told the coro ners Jury by Lillian Bennett, the dead girl's sister, and the most Important wit ness, she returned from Baker City to rind ner sister very sick.

Hamilton directed hor to Dr. Knima M. Linden, but Dr. Linden declined the case. The two girls then visited Dr. J. XV. Morrow In the Oregonlan building. He demanded $50 In advance. From this office they went to Dr. Courtney who accepted the case and performed three operations, one on June 28 another on July 2 and the third July t.

This slaughter of little children through the Ignorance of mothers can not be permitted. In the Interests Of morality, of good citizenship and In the name of a Christian religion. There are other than tenement dwelling mothers who lirnore some of the most obvious rules for a baby's welfare dur ing the heated term, too, and It will do none of the mothers of 'little ones harm to read and consider the rules that the department of health of New York has had printed on cards which when school closed were delivered to 600,000 school children In order to reach thu mothers. C The rules are these: Mother's milk Is the best of all foods. Do not wean the baby In hot weather. Ten bottle-fed babies die to one that Is breast-fed. Xurso the baby regularly, never oftener than every two hours during the day and fQur hours at night. Do not nurse tne oaoy every time ii cries. If vou cannot nurse your oaDy. cor- sult vour doctor before giving it the bottle'. Give the baby only good milk, pre pared exactly as the doctor directs, keen the milk always cold and covered. I)o not ask your neighbor's advice about feeding: ask vour doctor. The baoy reels tne neat more man ou do. In hot weather remove most of the baby's clothing. A loose, thin cotton shirt without sleeves. Is enough. Bathe the baby every day. wasn the baby whenever the diapers are changed. In hot weather give the bahy cool sponge naxn several tunes a uny. Give the Puny rresn air oay anu nigni. Keep the windows open all day and all night. Make use of ferryboats, recrea tion piers, vacation schools, parks and roofs. The baby should sleep alone. Give the babv two or three teaspoon fuls of cool, boiled water several times a . .. If the babv vomits or has diarrhoea, stop all feeding and give cool, boiled water.
