The chief value of legislation
today lies in the opportunity and
power to remedy mistakes of the
past. "Repeal is more blessed
than enactment." Henry Loom

GIVE THE OFFICER CREDIT.
Many Oregon newspapers are re
publishing an editorial taken from
the Salt Lake Herald, entitled "News
papers and Criminals." The article
does great credit to the Herald, and
to newspapers in general, hut there
is one phase of the subject which it
overlooks.
It gives the newspaper all the glory
for running down, advertising, shad
owing and bringing criminals to jus
tice. It lays all the credit for seek
ing out and unearthing swindling
schemes at the door of newspapers
when the officers of the law, includ
ing the police and county officers, are
entitled to their just share.
Let a crooked man come into town
and before he has made a dozen
moves toward the accomplishment of
his evil purpose, he is spotted by the
watchful eye of the official.
His movements are shadowed, his
acts are weighed, his associates lo
cated, his victims are hunted out and
his plans are followed with tireless
persistence.
If the newspaper gets information
on the subject, before the crime is
committed and the swindler flies,
nine times out of ten it is secured
from the officer.
Newspapers are not detectives.
They can herald the crime and the
description of the criminal, over the
country, but they cannot prevent the
commission of crime. Neither can
they act in the capacity of inquisitor.
Men have a right to come and go in
the community and no newspaper can
say that every stranger must be aus
pected until he proves to be straight.
The official can act in this capacity.
He can determine the status of the
man whose occupation is not. above
suspicion and can warn the press,
which warns the public.
Newspapers help catch criminals.
They turn the searchlight of public
ity on the fugitive, but in the work of
preventing crime in the community.
the officials, by their inquisitorial
watchfulness, warn the public of the
presence of the criminal.
The official and the press, working
together, have made escape of the
wrong-doer well nigh impossible.

slopes covered with growing wheat

The Inland Empire has a three

later fall than the country from which
I the homeseekers are coming.
Is it any wonder they pay the fabu
lous prices for Oregon real estate? Is
it any wonder they cheerfully begin
the transformation of a claim in the
foothills to the productive alfalfa
farm, in the hope of such returns as
come from a life of industry and econ
omy in the West?
No wonder the crowded cities of
the East are giving up their best men
and women, to become homesteaders
in the arid states. The returns from
the venture justify it tenfold.

CIVIC MORALS IN THE EAST.
Tlln following artliti I nn nxtmrt
from a paper read by Mrs. Imogene
u. uaKiuy, of I'hiladoiphia, before the
National Civil Service Reform League
reported In the Woman's Journal:
"In the Now York tinlillp st'hnnls
It is the custom to test the ability of
tne primary classes in English compo
sition by writing part of a story upon
the blackboard, and then requiring the
class to complete it in their own lan
guage and according to their own in
dividual ideas. Recently a teacher In
one of the East Side schools wrote
upon the blackboard this little narra
tive:
SPOKANE'S PROGRESS.
One of the most convincing evi
dences of municipal health and
strength which has been shown bv
Spokane, is the new charter, as re
vised by the charter committee of the
city council.
The new charter raises the price of
saloon licenses from $500 to S1000,
and places the mayor and chief of po
lice in control of the police depart
ment.
The raise in price of licenses will
iusure to Spokane an orderly, clean
lot of saloons, as $1000 is more than
the common joint can afford to nay
and will result in better order, as the
man who stakes his money and repu
tation in the liquor business, under
this high license will be interested in
keeping an orderly house, which will
draw custom and pay interest on the
investment.
The appointment of the chief of po
lice by the mayor and council is evi
dence that Spokane is following the
inevitable metropolitan rule. There
is need of a check on all municipal of
fices ,in order to secure the highest
efficiency.
" 'A poor little girl was once sell
ing nnnles at a railway station. A
train came in. and several of the pas
sengers bought fruit from her, and
then went back to their seats. Just
before the train started another nmn
came to the steps and asked her how
much she charged for her apples.
'Three for ten cents, sir.' she answer
ed. 'Then give me three,' he said,
and took the apples; but before he
had paid for them, the train began to
pull out.
" 'The man thought he would save
the ten cents bv not iKivlnn- for the
apples, so he wont back into the car,
leaving the little girl crying on the
platform. Rut the mayor of the town
was sitting in tlte next seat, and had
watched the whole incident.'
" 'Now.' said the teacher, 'what did
the mayor do?'
"One little Kirl. who had crown im
on the East Side, and had uncons
ciously marked the ways of some city
officials and had she lived in Phila
delphia her experience would have
been the same continued the story
thus:
" 'Then the mayor was glad because
he had seen it all. and could make
the man give him half the ten cents.' "

THE HAPPY OTHER FELLOW.
A clown looked at a king and sighed:
"Oh that iust fur a riav
i iiiigaL an wnere ne aus. so proud
To dazzle and to awe the crowd,
With ne'er a bitter tear to hide
While seeming to be gay.'
The king looked down upon the clown
Ana thought: "Ah. happy wight!
1011 gaily caper all the day,
Ne'er burdened by the sorrows they
In secret bear who have to wear
The purple, on the height."

plains of the telephone fiend who
spends the evening listening to the
conversations of his neighbors, and
the Oregonian is shocked at the cam
era and kodak which expose the pri
vacy of the home, to the public's
gaze. Between these two evils, the
sanctity of private life is being bat
tered down. Civilization, by creating
new devices for comfort and conven

the home, to an alarming extent.
THE PATRIOT'S BOAST.
Oregon, with all thy faults, the
homeseeker and the native, loves thee
still!
Nebraska blizzards are shrieking at
the heels of the westbound emigrant
trains; Ohio floods are rising like an
Incubus, over the smiling homes of
the Central states; Texan "northers"
are sweeping bare of herds, the great
upland plains of the Lone Star em
pire, and the Kansas storms are
sporting with the budding orchards
and growing wheat while the Inland
Empire, Oregon especially, is jogging
along the shady lane of springtime,
plowing for spring crops, shearing her
flocks and listening to the chiming
chorus of hammers and anvils.
The stories of the homeseekers are
all agreed on one point ,and that Is
this: The first joyous touch of spring
sunshine on the entire trip from Oma
ha to Oregon, is felt when the tourist
After waiting half a century, the
veterans of the Oregon Indian wars
of 1855-6, are to receive a portion of
their pay, due from tho struggling
territory of Oregon. While the entire
country west of the Mississippi was
fighting Indians and blazing new
trails of conquest at that time, these
volunteers who gave a special serv
ice to their country and were reward
ed by recognition from the teritory
thoy defended, are deserving of this
ac tof justice from the legislature.
The Salt Lake valley was a more
unpromising wilderness, when tho
Mormons came there, than any sec
tion of arid country now to be found
in the West. Labor, economy, Irri
gation and perseverance will convert
Eastern Oregon's desert into a coun
try of equal beauty and productiveness.
