We are accustomed to laud our form of government to the skies as the most perfect, liberal and beneficent ever devised by men Here is no priviledged class. In the eyes of the law all men are equal. They have, or easily may have, the inestimable privilege of pursuing life, liberty and happi ness controlled only by those laws wisely designed to preserve thir rights and priviledgts from abuse and ultimate destruction. Each one has, an equal voice in d . .,-rmining what , ui e lavvt shall be. L.uerty protected and directed by law is the American concept -ti n of "a government of the p .;,ie, for the people by the people." vVe should be the most law respecting, law-abiding, law-en-foicing people in the world. Our laws are of our own enactment. We have framed them for the most beneficent purposes, and surely we should respect them, abide by them and enforce them- VVe do nothing ol the sort. We are impatient of even the limited restraint of law. We argue? that law is the creature, we the Creator and, ,-- there fore, superior to or above the law. Is this truly our attitude to ward our laws? It is almost in credible. We heartily wish it wore untrue, but there is abund ant and humiliating evidence of its truth. Lawlessness and crime abound on every hand; lawless ness which not infrequently in volves whole communities; crime, which by its methods, daring and success startles even the stolid Russian who is accustomed to thp terrible tyranny of an au tocratic despotism. Annually, in every state in the union, numbers of men and wo men are foully murdered and the murderers escape apprehension and punisnment. In some cities a man may more easily escape arrest and punishment for mur der than stealing a loaf of bread. Some of the victims of these crimes have been men of promin ence; men who have been fear less in their devotion to duty and in their efforts, as public officers, to suppress crirtie and bring criminals to justice. Of theseex fiov'ernor Steunenbera- of Idaho and ex-Sheriff II. K. Brown of Baker City are notable examples. Both these men were cowardly, distardly assassinated. The en mities incurred by them, the. methods prasticed and means used in killing vthem speak of a common origin and point the finger of suspicion in the same 'direction. Shall the perpetrators of these crimes be hunted down and punished? We shall see. The indications are that they will elude arrest and escape punish ment. We will compJaSently sit .down, presently, or go' about our own sordid pursuits, damning the laws that cross our selfish purposes. We shall scarcely sit up and take notice when a great host marches by bearing the red flag of anarchy and the banners of a lawless socialism, while in sults and curses and open threats are defiantly hurled at our chief magistrate, at our laws, at our American institutions. Whose fault is it? Whose, in deed, but our own? We have permitted our con ception of liberty to be inter preted as meaning license license to kill, to burn, to destroy; to trample upon law, order, decency, religion and all we hold dear and sacred. v We must rise in our wrath, if need be, and seek out and extir pate crime and criminals. This' is the duty of every American citizen whether found jo the ranks of capitalism or labor; whether following the plow or swinging .the woodman s ax. This is not Russia. This is the land of liberty, guarded by law. It raust remain such. , HAZING. With utter disregard for what is termed "Common sense" there has grown into oar college life what is known as "hazing." Col lege faculties in the West have winked at the practice or utterly disregarded it and to this extent have made themselves party to this offense. ' Why it is less an offense to heap indignities upon a collegian than a ' civilian in the ordinary walk of life is some thing we cannot understand. The confessed ' inability of col lege f aculites to cope with the practice of hazing carries its own sad commentary, Young men worthy oftheoD portunities afforded by a course at college shoujd realize that hazing is in utter disregard of the rights of oihers and leads to lawlessness, not good citizenship. None but cowards will attack those who have done them no in jury and "are weaker than them selves. The incident the other evening where the object of the hazers miscarried and two or three of them felt sharp steel in their persons is to be regretted, but no blame can attach to the youth who defended himself against personal indignity. Senator Tillman refused to ride in a Pullman car from Spokane to Walla Walla because, forsooth, a negro was the porter of the car. No 'nigger" for him of the pitchfork and vituper ative tongue. He perferred the rankling, poisonous indescribable odors of a filthy smoking-car to the sight of a negro porter Ben is not our senator, and scarcely more is he South Caro linians. It must be humiliat ing ; to. South Carolinians, who . easily pass for gentle men, to have such a rude boor as he to misrepresent them where- ever he goes and on all- subjects upon which he opens his capa cious mouth. But they do not take him seriously. He is their standing joke. One of these days they will fill his place with a real, representative Carolinian. BERNICE WINSLQW WON. In Baby Show at Pendleton. There is no stroBger sentitne'rjt in the human make up than pride in ones offspring, providing said jffsp:ing is of a. sort to- permit of pr,ida being felt by the parents. Up in Pendleton there is a mam ma and a papa who would not trade places today with Teddy Roosevelt. They are Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Winslow, both form er OAC students, the .lattar hav ing been Miss Jennie Clark, for years a Corvallis girl. The reason of their pride is not that they have fallen heir to mil lions, nor is it because fame has come upon either of them for some splendid achievement. It all happened last Thursday at the big livestock fair and Elks' carnival at Pendleton and the story complete is found in a marked copy of the "Pendleton Tribune" which has reached Cor vallis. It says: '"When the babv show was announced there was a grand rush, as usual, for the front of the platform and about a thousand people who or dinarily would not spend a min ute a year in looking at a baby gathered around the stand and al most suffocated the timid mothers who had brought the' 'sweetest little dar'ing on earth" for that prize that was ber's of course. After a somewhat extended ex amination of the points of several babies by the judges and their names had been secured, the mothers, with their . treasures, were invited to the platform where the audience could get a good look at them. ' After they were seated Bennett shouted that if any one present wanted his job he. was ready to resign right there and then. But there was no takers. ' After some more v preliminaries which appeared to be a mere sparring for time, v Bennett took in his arms little Bernice Wins- flow, aged 18 months, while amid the clapping of many hands Dr. Yenney pinned a blue ribbon on its dress. (But it was noticed there were some mothers who didn't join in the applause. ) Decidedly Slouchy. "So," 'said Nnriteh, "I . ain't io dude.
