unpromising situation. Joined with
the past four years of. masterly in
activity, the ' wonder must be with
the "average, Portland citizen how
long will it be tintil this city is
finally and properly supplied. iwith
a garbage crematory. ' - ' .
- The parties to the present contro
versy ought to get together, and they
should do Bo qulfckly, ; . There Is but
one thing to be considered, and that
Is the welfare of the city of Port
land.' With this as the rule of con
duct, there should, fie little difficulty
in reaching an agreement and in
putting an end to the distressing dif
ferences and "debates -that have be-

pfnee the agitation for it began.
requests came mostly from wives of
men earning fcioderate salaries, prin
clpally clerks of all sorts. ' s
Commenting on this, ! the World's

DME WEEKS ago a man was
murdered and robbed near the
Columbia river in Umatilla
county, -and a man named
Arnold was subsequently arrested,
tried and convicted of murder in the
second degree, and Tuesday was sen-
. . ,
xencea, as requirea, uy mw, iu:iuj:
pri8ofrment for -life. But It was not
murdej- in the second degree; It was
a first degree murder or none. The
evidence was all. circumstantial, but
but very strong. According to It,
the murderer procured two livery
horses, lured his victim to accom
pany him on pretense of securing
employment for him, and on arriv
ing at a desolate, uninhabited spot,
killed him, took his money some $80,
dragged the body several rods and
covered it with sage brush, returned
the animals,, and, for a time, disap
peared.: It waa one of the. most' de
liberate, .cold blooded, atrocious
murders, ever committed anywhere,
yet the .Jury found the defendant
guilty In the second instead of the
first degree. Why? Perhaps in
the minds of some of the Jurors
there remained a faint, lingering
trace of doubt as to the man's guilt,
and if by any possibility- bis inno
cence should ever "be disclosed, he
could be liberated. ' More' likely
some felt a repugnance to capital
punishment. , A great many persona
are opposed to the law that follows
the Old Mosaic dectrlne of taking a
life for a- life. And some Jurors
may have considered, correctly, that
life imprisonment is a heavier pun
lshment than sudden death. Theor
etically, a Juror haa no right to, con
sider any of these things, except an
honest, reasonable doubt, but some
men accepted as Jurors will do so,
and many of them readily compro
mise In almost any case of really
first degree murder on a verdict of
murder in the second degree. Since
this man is 'very Burely guilty, and
cannot be hanged, th penalty im
posed should be fully inflicted.
