Tyrants of Since when has the wearing conferred upon their possessor The right of life and death on the highway? The powers of judge, jury and executioner? The authority to murder upon suspicion? The sovereignty of the autocrat to disobey whom is death? Ihe privilege of killing auto license tags? Yet this is whav a speed cop's star seems to have done for C. P. Talent, traffic officer of Medford who Tuesday, seeing a car near Jefferson with only one license tag, suspicioned that the car was stolen, gave pursuit and shot and killed the unknown driver who failed to No complaint had been filed against the murdered man, no warrant had been issued for him, even his identity was unknown. If he really had been guilty of a crime, it was a mere coincidence, and does not was killed on suspicion and the investigation made afterward. The law is very plain on this subject and there is abso lutely no warrant for the murder. The law holds that a peace officer is justified in shooting only when it is known that a felony has been committed and that he must have reasonable grounds to believe at whom he shoots, committed allowed to shoot, except as a last resort to prevent the escape of the lugitive. So long as he reasonable probability of taking him, without resort to the use of a deadly weapon, he is The reason for this rule is prescribes the punishment for coiifinemen t in the penitentiary, whereas the officer by shooting, is lialrte to, as in this case, kill the man, thereby inflicting upon him, punishment in excess of that allowed by law, and doing it without a jury without which no person under the constitution, can be deprived cither of life, liberty or property. In this case, a mere officer, constituted himself the judge, jury and executioner. The officer in this case, taking his own statements of what happened, is guilly at least of man slaughter, even though the man killed was guilly of all the crimes of which he was suspected. Yet the coroner's jury knew so little of the public's rights, that it brought in a verdict exonerating the shooting cop of all blame even before they knew the car was stolen, and found that he had shot "in the discharge of his duty"; and chief traffic officer Rafferly lion of the rights of peace officers I hat he praises Talent for distinguished service and brags at a public banquet of the "pleasure" he himself received of the dead man ! What a blood-thirsty lot these speed cops and their chief must be, and what a goulish sense of pleasure they have when they gloat over Ihe grewsomo bloody corpse and pallid lips of the victim they have sent on suspicion into the life denial in defiance of his constitutional rights and the law of the land.

She could not help feeling that Much thoughts were disloyal to An drew, but it was Impossible to keep them out of her mind. Finally she switched on the light on the bed side table and picked up one of the books that she had brought with her from New York, a book that had lain on the scat beside her In the train during some of her talks with Hewitt.

All 250 of them watched the portrayal of events which brought the dreams of a transcontinental railroad to an actual reality whllo they were settling the northwest In preparation for Its arrival.
