SUNDAY CLOSING.
Tbe closing of the saloons and bar
rooms yesterday was complete, so far as
the front doors were concerned, and
in one reappct, at least, The Dalles
resembled Mew York. The matter
earned much discussion, and opinion
seemed to be considerably divided as to
the wisdom of a Sunday closing law.
There was, however, a very general
opinion among those who neither own
w regularly patronize bar rooms, that
the law should be enforced so long as it
stands as a law.
As Thk Chronicle has heretofore
urged, there is nothing so conducive to
Contempt of the law as the retention of
one which is enforced, if enforced at
all, at the caprice of police officers.
Officers exercising police functions are
appointed and sworn, not to legislate for
tbe community, but to enforce the law
as enacted by the legislative power. It
it an extremely dangerous power to give
to police officers. To enforce the law is
aot at their discretion ; and yet that is
exactly the power which is assumed by
police officers in most cities, and is left
In their bands through the indifference
of citizens. There is no reason why the
law, as it stands, should not bo enforced
in Tbe Dalles. If it is a law which a
majority of the people do not wish, and
the question is one of policy only, it
should be repealed. This is a country
in which tbe majority rule?, and we
should assume that a law once enacted
ia the will of tbe majority until it is re
pealed, if the majority will not enact
or maintain laws which ere for the gen
eral or moral welfare of the community,
then there is work for the educator, and
wben the educator has accompliahed his
work the beneficial law will follow. The
liquor traffic is a peculiar one, requiring,
according to the consensus of opinion of
most communities, cities and states, to
be restrained and regulated by law.
"We have laws regulating it, and until
they are repealed they should be en
forced, and those whose business it is to
enforce them have no business to ques
tion anyone whether the law should be
enforced or not ; it is their duty to per
form the duties of their offices. We
heartily commend the officers, who ever
they may be, that have in this city
taken up the work. Mr. Theodore
Susevell's example is a moat .excellent
one to follow. -
THE CI1AUTAUQVA MOVEMENT.
No educational movement in recent
years has reached the wide celebrity
and success that the Chautauqua move
ment has attained. Begun on a small
Bcale, with no intention of passing be
yond the local limits of a small circle,
its influence has pervaded the intellect
ual life of tbe world. The need of this
work was strongly impressed upon Dr,
Vincent, and with Lewis Miller of
Akron, Ohio, as joint originator, the
plan was made public August, 1878,
Dr. Vincent believed thoroughly in its
power to uplift and enrich multitudes of
men and women, and he presented it in
an address which powerfully moved and
astonished his audience. His plan
eeemed so clear and practical as he ex
plained it, that people, who for years
had accepted with dull resignation the
narrow limits of their intellectual lives,
were startled into recognising that it
bad been their own inaction that had
been .binding them, and that after all
tbe world of knowledge and thought
(night be for thu-m.
This address, in its leveling effect, is
epoken of as amusing, as well as pa
thetic. Young and old, college-bred
and untrained, rich and poor, busy and
idle, joined tho circle with one accord,
aeeining to comprehend that the pursuit
of knowledge and culture is independent
of all conditions. Seventeen years suc
cessful work have proven that whatever
dtfects were embodied in this system,
time and effort can remedy ; and it is
already well proven that for those who
are too old, too poor, or too bury to go
to school, mature liie and old age can be
turned into youth ; shop, railway car,
kitchen or forest, can be turned into a
school, and life made "a richer and more
beautiful thing.
A JAIL FOR WOMEN NEEDED.
jest and incarceration of women. There
is no convenient separate apartment in
which to place them, and the officers
are compelled to place them under lock
and key in the common jail, where they
have only the society of the men ac
cused of crime ; not a desirable class for
men to associate with, and often not
decent associates for women.
The women who are arrested may not
be worthy of good society, but the pre
sumption is that they are as good as any.
There is no reason why innocent women,
as well as innocent men, may not be
arrested and kept in jail. Anyway hu
manity and decency demands that tbe
unfortunate women, who muBt be kept
in jail, should have apartments separate
from men. The demand is imperative
in the case of decent women, and possi
bly more so in the case of immoral
women.
We understand that the county jail
now contains a female prisoner, and yes
terday an insane woman was placed in
the city jail.
Newspaper discussion of the Durrant
trial is tiresome. Tbe press dispatches
now say that if be is freed it will be
by proving hia innocence and not by
technicalities. This will be a disap
pointment to tbe newspapers of San
Franciaco, .because they will then have
no excuse for sensational abuse of the
court and jury after the trial. We won
der when tho law was changed so that
accused persons are required to prove
their innocence. It used to require tbe
accusers to prove guilt, and presumed
the innocence of the defendant until his
guilt wsb proved beyond a reasonable
doubt.
Mr. Kincaid has said that the state
will pay the costs in the case brought to
test the constitutionality of the railroad
commission law, and the legislature will
be called upon to pay his attorneys.
The state furnishes Mr. Kincaid an at
torney. That attorney advised against
the cu9e, and the wise secretary of state
disregarded the advice of the attorney
general, and hired his own lawyer. He
ought to pay the costs and attorney's fees
out of bis salary, not out of the fees
which he collects and puts in bis pocket.
Accident TUis Jtforalng;.
A sad accident happened today, which
has maimed a strong young man for life.
This morning about 8:30, Martin Eng-
man bad both bis bands crushed in a
bay baler. Ho was working for Mr.
Henrichson on A. W. Whetstone's place
and was just putting a board in to cover
tbe bay, when he miscalculated and
reached too far. The heavy prees
came down on his bands, crushing ih-rn
terribly. The injured man was placed
in a wagon and rapidly brought to town
Drs. Logan, Doane and Sutherland held
a consultation and saw that amputation
of tbe entire left hand was necessary
and one finger from the right hand.
The young man had rare grit, and laid
down upon the operating table as if go
ing to sleep instead of parting with one
of life's dearest treasures. The opera
tion lasted about three-quarters of an
hour. Mr. Kngman came to this country
from St. Paul and had lived in Portland
about a year before coining to Eastern
Oregon. He is unmarried. A short
time ago he was the possessor of an ac
cident policy, but unfortunately bad al
lowed it to lapee. Last night he had a
dream that something serious was to
happen and two or three times was on
the point of telling Mr. Henrichson be
did not want to work today. Ha is a
strong, healthy farmer, and to look at
him in his sad condition would melt a
strong heart to sympathy.
Reliable reports from different por
tions of the county indicate that the
wheat yield is turning out much better
than expected. The yield in Klickitat
is very large, and Sherman and Wasi-o
c mnlies will be on band with large har
vests. Next month will see lines of
wheat wagons wend their way along the
roads leading to town. The Dalles is
going to be the great wheat market this
year, as it has been the wool center
earlier in the cummer.
