A EUROPEAN KISSING.
Der Kaiser has kissed Herr
Haakon. Let all the world re
joice! The osculation occured in
Trondhjem on the 8th of July,
during the present year of grace.
We are . not certain, but we
might have been interested in
the show had we been present
It is generally understood to
have been in the open and bold
ly done. In this regard the
monarchs exhibited more nerve
than we can boast.
Really, now, it seems bad
taste on the part of these mon
archs and is liable to cause their
wives uneasy moments. The
dispatches state that these mon
archs rushed into each others
arms and kissed several times.
To us it seems that both Emperor
William and King Haakon were
playing: the game of Judas. Like
wise, it strikes us as a lot of
silliness to cable the nonsense
around the globe there is some
thing sickening about it. Think
of it! "MeundGott" and Haa
kon kissing.
THE THAW CASE.
All eyes are centered on the
case of Harry Thaw for the kill
inorof Stanford White. As is
well known, both Thaw and
White were of the gilded set of
New York who fancied them
selves of superior clay when
compared with the multitude of
their fellows. Few will deny
that Thaw may have, and pro
bably did have, ample justifica
tion for taking the life of White.
There was "a woman in the
case."
From the time of Adam and
Eve, men have committed every
crime on the calendar in the
name of women and will con
tinue to do so until that time
when Gabriel shall sound a
blast summoning all mankind to
gather in the land of promise
when old earth shall have re
volved for the last time and men
and women will have ceased to
be. Until such period society
will be shocked from time to
time by tragedies in which hu
man life is held cheap. Such is
the inevitable.
From the unbridled passions of
men and women crime is born.
In every large city there is found
a host of young men and women,
rich by inheritance and idle from
choice. These are the danger
ous elements in society. These
nonentities, while possessed of
riches, inherited not a love of
labor, nor the gift of noble
ideals. Their chief aim in life
is how to pass the time They
have wealth sufficient to gratify
their every desire. Ere long
they are surfeited by the legiti
mate and turn to that which is
by right denied them. On ac
count of their wealth and sup
pose.! high social standing these
pitiable creatures fancy them
selves as Caesar's wife above
suspicion.
This is the perioi for tragedy
and it generally follows. Like
moths aboub a candle, now and
then one ventures too close and
life is snuffed out. So with
Thaw and White. Thaw in the
protection of his wife, may have
baen justified in taking the life
of White, but his own life has
been far from a model one-
And Mrs- Thaw?
She
was a
Floradora girl, an artist's model,
a beautiful woman. Before her
retarded "marriage with Thaw
she was in ? same class as
hundreds oi' thr beautiful
women of New l.rlc and other
large cities. She was the idol of
numerous men who estimated a
woman according to her face and
figure. She may. have remained
a virtUOUS woman through all!
hei various experiences, but at
times she must have been dan
gerously near the flames
Few will attempt to deny that
White met a fate he richly de
served. He was a debauchee of
the worst type, a dissolute
wretch, and a menace to society.
His removal from earth is scarce
ly regrettable only the manner
of his taking off do we deplore.
THE WHIPPING POST.
When the whipping post was
first instituted in Oregon for the
benefit of wile-beaters we fully
believed that the proper step
had been taken. In fact, while
the measure seemed a severe
one, tne tnougnt is suggested
that nothing could be too drastic
for a brute who would beat his
wife. But in the comparative
ly few cases where a man has
been whipped since the enactment
of this law in Oregon has the
result been what was expected?
We doubt it.
Only recently Mrs. Katherine
Bjeker, of Portland, sued her
husband, Clem Bieker, for a di
vorce. Sometime ago Mr. Bieker
was found guilty of wife-beating
and was lashed at the post. The
complaint of Mrs. Bieker alleges
that since her husband had been
whipped at the post he had de
generated into a more dissolute
brute than he had been before
the punishment. Whatever
manly attributes may have been
possessed by Mr. Bieker previous
to his experience at the whip
ping post seem to have deserted
him.
. True, he could not have been
much of a man to start with or
he would not have lifted his
brutish hand against his wife.
Look at this matter however you
may the fact remains that when
dealing with a wife-beater socie
ty undertakes the correction of a
brute. It seems somewhat de
moralizing to the man who ap
plies the lash in such cases; the
knowledge that such practices
are in vogue demoralizes those
who approve; but worst of. all,
the effect on the man whipped
does not seem to justify the act-
But would you allow such a
creature to go unpunished? is
a question sure to be asked. No.
Far from it. Many others de
clare that by . the infliction of
bodily pain, and no other pro
cess, can you justly punisn sucn
a man as a wife-beat'er. But
would you make barbarians of
yourselves by practices we are
presumed to have outlived, es
pecially in consideration of the
tact that tne result ot what is
advocated is the reverse of what
is desired?
it would seem to be a wiser
plan to set these men at some
task by which the state could
benefit and society escape the
brutalizing effects which we be
lieve are entailed by the use of
the whipping post. Punish them
we should, but in a manner that
does not destroy the better sen
timents of a refined people. The
rock pile, if nothing else, is sug
gested as better in the long
run for all concerned than the
whipping post.

Up in Seattle, since his release fiom
jail, George H. Mitchell, accompanied by
his father and brother, has been search
ing for Esther Mitchell, who, with Mrs.
Maud Ilart-Oetfiel 1 has disappeared.
(jriorire jldchell is convinced that an at

Roller camp in the wilds of British Col
umbia. One of the m?n who was in
Cretfield'a eanio is now ia British Col

women members of the old faith passed
through Seattle, presumably to join this

WITH ROAR OF APPLAUSE
Mitchell Trial " Ended at Seattle
Not Guilty" the Verdict.
Seattle, Wash., July 10 George H.
Mitchell who shot Franz .Edmund Cref-fielJ,-
leader of the Holy Boilers, on
First avenue. May 7 was acquitted late
this afternoon. After nearly an hour
and a half in the jury-room the 12 men
who had listened to the testimony in
Mitchell's trial filed back and announced
their verdict "Not Guilty."
Despite the advance warning of the
court that do demonstration would be
permitted, irrespective of the verdict, a
roar of applause greeted t he announce
ment and the court officers were power
less to still it. The court room was
crowded, but aside from those who eat
on the front row, directly nnder the eye
of the presiding Judge, the spectators ap
plauded almost unanimously when the
clerk had read . the words that freed
Creffi eld's slayer.
Judge Frater was obviously nervous
when summoned to receive the verdict,
and still more bo when Mitchetl was ac
quitted and the crowd broke into cheers
and applause. Raising his voice above
the tumult he ordered Mitchell "remand
ed into the custody of the sheriff." None
save Mitchell's attorneys and a few
spectators realized the purport of the
order, but the men who had defended
Mitchell knew what it meant.
Attorney Morris hurriedly demanded
an explanation and threatened a writ of
habeas corpus proceeding?. Then Judge
Frater acknowledged his error and in
sisted he had merely attempted to get
the crowd out of the court room by the
instruction. He cried to the sheriff to
let Mitchell go and the young man
elbowed his way through the mob, which
wa trying to congratulate him, into the
corridors of the Courthouse. A few
minutes later he walked out of the build
ing a free man again.
When Mitchell elbowed his way into
the corridors ot the courthouse, the
women rushed pellmell after him. Down
three flight of stairs they followed to the
jail doors, whither Mitchell headed to
gather his belongings. Women peeped
through the bars and gurgled their ap
preciation of his freedom, while Mitchell
bade jailers and fellow prisoners good
bye. As the prisoners' parting cheer
rane out the women ruBhed to the street
to greet him again.
Surrounded by . his attorneys and
father, brother and Superintendent
Gardner, of the Boys' and Girls' Aid
Society, of Portland, Mitchell escaped
from the women. But all the way
down town crowds turned to look at
him, and the curious passersby called for
the news of the acquittal.
Mitchell's freedom was accepted; with
acclamation by the street crowds. Extia
editions of the afternoon . papers pre
claimed bis acquittal before the Court
house crowd reached the business dis.
trict and Mitchell's attorneys were show'
ered with congratulations. -
Mitchell's own exprej&ion oi appre
ciation, however, counted tne most.
"I expected U all the time. I did not
believe the jury could do anything but
acquit me,'' Mitchell said to The Ore
gonian afterward. "But I want to give
all the credit to mr attorneys. They
won this fight. Ot course, I am grateful
to tne jurors and to tne court. i am
particularly thankful that the people of
Oregon rallied to my support. Those
who came up here to aid me did me
service I can never forget.
"I was not allowed to see the papers
that contained any news of the trial
but now and then the jailers told me
what they were saying. When my
brother came be brought me clippings,
particularly of The Oregonian. I want
to thank the papers of Oregon for the
fairness they showed in telling the whole
Btory. I am glad the people of Oregon
know all about it, and I feel they sym
pathize with ni9.
"I want to get away from it all here.
Just as boon as possible I want to get
back to Portland. I expect to be there
tomorrow night, but something iay pre
vent it. My brother is going with me
aad is going to star there. Peter View'
has offered me my old job, and I think I
shall accept it and go back to work im
mediately. .
"It was hard enough to spend two
months in jail, but they have been kind
to me here and they have made it just
as pleasict as possible. So far as one
can enjoy confinement, I have found
pleasure in it, but no one really enjoys
being locked up. .
"I did not rot realize the danger to me
in the killing of Judge Emory until the
attorneys spoke of it in court. I was in
the tank when young Thompson was
brought in, and I caught a glimpse of a
paper that told of tho shooting. But
that seemed so different from my casa
that I did not think much of it
Thompson did not speak much to any
one and kept away from the rest pretty
much.
"It was a long wait this afternoon
while the jury was out. They were only
gone a short time, but it seenie d an age
to me. My father and brother were with
me in the tank. Thev and the prisoners
ail spoke hopefully, but we did net dis
cuss the case m uch . Finally, when word
came that the jury was in," the prisoners
all called "good luck" to me. When I
went backTor my belongings thev cheer
ed the news of my acquitial.V? It did me
good to know they sympathized with me.
"I don't know what I can say to Mr.
Hnrt and the others who aided me from
Oregon. But they kno I am grateful.
I don't think my sister Esther will go
back to Portland with us. My father is
going to try lo induce her to go home
wi'h him, and I hope she will. We all
thinkit is bitter."

Metropolitan Paper Gives Rail
road News.
The Oregon Coast & Eastern
Railway company will build a
valley line from Portland to Eo
cene, to give a direct route to the
East Preliminary work of the
company has reached a stage
where its plans are becoming ap
parent, and W. J. Wilsey, execu
tive head of the company, in
Oregon, today officially admit
ted that plans are being perfected
for a valley route, via McMinn-
ville or some nearby point.
It was brought out that Mr.
Wilsey has not traded on any of
the franchises that have been s -cured
by him in the two years he
has been working on the Oregon
Coast & Eastern project, and that
everv " right of way contract is
placed in escrow in the Secunlx
Savings and Trust bank Portland,
to be cancelled and returned to
the people in event that the rail
road is not built according to con
tract. The company has placed thiee
surveying parties in the held,
under well known engineers, to
ocate the routes of the road in the
valley and along the coast.
From the movements of these
parties it appears that the road
will be built from Portland to Til-
amook, via the Wilson river,
and south via Toledo to Coos bay
and Eureka. The line will rut)
east through Eugene and over
the Cascade mountains to a con
nection with some transcontinen
tal line, the name of which is not
yet divulged.
The valley line will diverge
rom the Tillamook line at some
point west ot Portland, and ex
tend south through or near Mc
Minnville, and on to Eugene,
probably via Corvailis.
The Tillamook route is being
rveyed by a party under En
gineer Ralph Hunt. The survey
is completed through the most
difficult portion of the route.
It shows, contrary to published
statements' from a local railroad
man, there is a good route with
a maxim tm jjrade of I V2 per ctrit
through the Wilson river gors
and over the summit of the coast
range the pass is but 1,325 feet
elevation.
Engineer L,. D. Campbell,
with a party ol engineers, is sur
veying the route north from
Toledo. South from that point,
it is reported, the line is being
surveyed by a party under direct
ion of Engineer Steel . Every
where they are said to be securing
a route of easy grades and cur
vatures. The Wilson river line
will have much heavy work, and
a portion of it will cost $50,000 a
mile.
DIED 5UDDENLY
