WHOSE FAULT?
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
