The - shocking story of. crime and death that comes from Cor vallis should set people who are clamorinor for more law." -in the interest of temperance re- form to . thinking. Is it really more law that we want, or is it not that one or two laws car rying the most wholesome re strictions that can possibly be en acted, have been plainly violated in this case? Here we have a lad not yet 19 years old frequent ing saloons contrary to law and being supplied with liquor con trary to law, killed by a shot from a sheriffs pistol while mutder ously resisting arrest while drunk. A boy, we are .told, who was the son of woithy and exemplary parents: who was possessed of manv excellent traits of charac ter, -who was not frequently in toxicated, but. who was "ugly when drinking." Was it not manifestly the busi ness of some one in authority to see that this boy was not allowed to go into saloons? Or, further, that any one who sold or gave him intoxicating liquor should be visited with the penalty plainly prescribed by law for this most flagrantmost damnable offense? Reports that have come to us of this - most distressing affair show that officers and friends acting the role of peacemakers did all in their power to disarm the unfortunate lad and take him into custody without harming him. But, being wild through a drinking bout, which had lasted the greater part of the night, and "ugly" because of the fire that ran riot in his youthful veins, he would not listen to reason and in the final attempt of the sheriff to save the lives of others from the- -murderous pistol shots that rang out upon- the morning air from the drunken boy's pistol, he was killed. " Official Vigilance falls far short of its duty when a crisis of this kind is allowed come: parenta vigilance falls far short of its duty when a minor is allowed to hang around saloons all night, or at all, or to become intoxicated more than once. If there were no law forbidding a saloon-keeper to harbor a minor about his place of business, a clamor would go up for the en actment of such a law, and there the case too often rests. If there were no law forbidding" the sale or gift of liquor to minors, a de mand for the enactment of such a law would resound throughout the land : having such a law, no further thought is given to the matter. Accessory after the fact are those in authority who permit these fundamental laws of tem perance, that are found UDon the statute-books of every state to be openly and frequently violated; culpable indeed are Darents or other legal guardians of boys who, upon the first evidence that these laws have been violated, do not avail themselves of the right to prosecute men who are the instruments of their sons' un doing. It should not be difficult to "enforce these laws in a rural or village community. That they are not enforced in CorvalJis is attested not only by the death of Chester Keady, aged 18, shot while drunk, by the sheriff in pursuance of his duty, but by the drunken companions of similar age who had passed the greater part of the night in a saloon, and by two officers, wounded perhaps unto death by the drink-crazed boy before he fell. There is a strong temperance sermon in all of this, and it does not call for more temperance legislation, but for the enforcement of the whole some and practical laws that we have. Oregonian of April 26. Jt Jt jt A youth of 18 years killed by the sheriff of Benton county in the performance of his duty lies dead in Corvallis and two prom inent men of that town shot down by this boy are wounded, perhaps fatally. The tragedy occurred about midnight Saturday, and be cause the boy was intoxicated and had a gun. Thus it was a two laws, one against selling li-1 quor to minors,- and- the other against carrying deadly weapons. The story of the tragedy includes the statement, that young Keady was inclined to be ugly " when drinking. So it appears that he was in the habit of drinking to the point of ugliness, and that this was known. Corvallis - is a small place, and the officers must have known this fact, and where he obtained the- liquor. It fol lows that there are other guilty parties besides the boy who has paid the penalty. These are the saloon men who habitually or freauentlv or at all, for that matter sold this minor liquors, and the officers whoj knowing that this was done, did not toing com plaint against these vendors of intoxicants to boys, - and punish them, and pnt a stop to the practice.- ' i . Yes, whiskey is the cause of many, perhaps most, such trage dies, but this is a case that-onght to prompt sincere, thorough ef forts in every city in the state to suppress this form of violation of the law. It ought to be stopped Every saloon man selling liquor to a minor should be prosecuted his license should be revoked. The man, or men, who sold this boy liquor, are morallv, if not legally, accessories before the fact of the midnight crime. -Portland Jour nal, Apr. 25.
