CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN OREGON
In general, those who are writing and talking about cap
ital punishment In Oregon are assuming that the old law has
been restored .
That all persons convicted of murder in the first degree
must suffer death, if the Governor does notjntervene.
The restoration was only partial. The trial jury must
'rfpridft the nunishment for murder in the first degree; must
say whether it shall be the infliction of the death penalty or
a life sentence ''
The rartial restoration was for the purpose of visiting
capital punishment upon such inhuman creatures as the par
oled convict who murdered his beneiactress in roruanu.
i - Few voters intended that it should be made the instru
ment of venireance. inflicted in the spirit of inflamed passion.
- As the case stands now, perhaps there is not as much re
spect in the public mind for the present law as there was lm
mediately after it was enacted by the people at the polls
. For it is plainly seen by most people who think that it
may easily be made the instrument of vengeance in more
cases than it may be used to dispose of monsters of the type
of the murderer of . his benefactress.
And there is too place in modern penology or public jus
tice for vengeance; for punishment in passion or in retribu
' tion. --' ' -; ' - (11'"-. - " ': T ; : :
The Statesman was in favor of the doing away of the
death penalty entirely, which was done; and this writer was
not in favor of a partial restoration, -which was also done.
s. There is so far nothing in the light of experience to show
that more good may be accomplished under the" present sys
Hem than under the old system of capital punishment for all
persons convicted of murder in the first degree.
PENDLETON VS. SALEM
I BITS FOR BREAKFAST
SOCIETY
By MOLLY DRUNK.
"At the recent city election in Salem, the peo
, pie voted down a proposition for financial relief for
-the city government and in consequence nearly every
branch of city affairs has been hit. It will be nec
' essary to cut down the police force, curtail on street -,
cleaning,, defer fire department changes and stop
paving street intersections. , ;
" ; "Pendleton people took the opposite course by
" approving three city measures by overwhelming ma
jorities, thus clearing the way for improved condi- ,
. .tions here.
" "Moral If you wish to live in a first class town
' that believes in its future, step this way. We are
crowded but can always make room for more."
The above is from the Pendleton East Oregonian.
1 ' Our bunchgrass friends are rubbing it in just a little.
' But the people of Salem merely got their wires crossed.
They voted for a two platoon fire system, and they intended
in so doing that Salem should have a much improved fire
fighting system.
'Theyyiid not realize that by refusing to authorize the
'additional tax they would delay or hamper the object, or crip
ple any department. . .
A way "out must be found, and will be.
The people of Salem are past the matter of belief as to
the great future of their city. They know it has a great fu
ture and it is going along with a constantly accelerating
pace in the path of progress marked out. The Gibralter
growth of Salem cannot be hampered by the mistake of a few
voters in wrongly marking their ballots.

Take a case coming up yester
day in the local office, at the Sa
lem postoffice. A ' Marion county
soldier, from the Gervais neigh
borhood. srvea with the Ameri
can forces in France, and with the
American army of occupation in
Germany; married a German girl
and they have an heir. He was
mustered out and came home. He
earned money here, and bought a
ticket in Portland for his wife
from Antwerp to Orepon; paid
$300. Now, it is found that she
cannot come, becau.se he is not an
American citizen; he was born in
Italy and has not .been natural
ized. Here is a tangle for the lo
cal ReV Cross office. If he were
an American citizen, his wife
would be American also; nation
ality follows the husband, though
the-wife were a Hottentot. This
is one case in hundreds thous
ands. There ia only one agency
to attend to this case and the
other thousands with . ramifica
tions that extend to all lands and
all conditions. That agency is the
Red Cross.
S
There is no other way under
heaven whereby your dollar may
do so much service as in the
hands of the Red Cross.
Your dollar becomes at once
international and interracial and
universal in its sympathy and the
possibilities of its relief.;
Your dollar given to -the Red
Cross fans fevered brows in hos
pitals in every land uncle the
sun; it gives a needy soldier a
meal and a bed ami a job; it feeds
the Polish prisoner in Berlin on
his way home from Siberia; it re
lieves the distressed refugees
from Bolshevist Russia; it saves
the young Armenian -girl from
Turkish outrage. It does a million
acts of mercy. It has the wfugs of
the morning and lights the earth
from the Arctic., to. the tropical
lands. ;

Writing in his intimate, de
lightful way. Addison Bennett
hpeaks as follows iu Tuesday's
Oregonian of cxhhibitors at the
Horse Show during the Mate fair:
"Last year I mentioned one of
the McCIeave jumpers from Vic
toria. B. C. by the name of Whis
ky. Well, the little darling Is still
carrying his old name, but on one
side of him in Moderation and on
the "other side is Prohibition. So
what how has our old friend
Whisky in such company? Bui Is
Whisky downcast? Not a bit of it.
Among the fine Eaddle ani
mals I noticed two entries by Minx
Helen et. a daughter of ex-
Governor West, and another by
his niece, Miss Vic West. The
names of Miss Helen's animals are
Harry K., and Duchess; the tat
ter's entry is Princess Pat.
"I looked carefully for the en
tries of J. I). Parrel and his
daughter, but could not find
them. The Parrels, it xeenn, are
too modest to post their names.
I am sorry for that, and I saw
others looking for them as care
fully as I wax. I hope they will
be in place today."
The visit of the slate president.
Mrs. Mary K. lAvzan of Albany,

ALL EYES
DONT SEE ALIKE
Most people can see quite clearly, but
to do so many of them have to struggle.
This struggling to see clearly is a severe
strain. That is why there are so many
headache sufferers.
TAKE A LITTLE TROUBLE
with your eyes or, sooner or later, they
will trouble you. Most, pleasures and much
of your capacity for work depends on your
good vision.
APPEAL TO O'NEILL
He will test your eyes thoroughly and sci
entifically and you will then learn their
true condition. If you do not need glasses,
he will promptly tell you so.
