Under the head of "A New Vargary,” the Albany Herald takes exception to our recent utterances re­ garding trial juries freeing persons indicted by a federal grand jury, when, as we stated, there was no possible question but that they were guilty as charged, and in a long column article tries tot show that the abolishment of trial juries would disrupt all lawful proceedure. Our brother of the Herald first makes the grand mistake of taking a circuit court grand jury as the basis of his remarks, when we were talking of federal juries, two entirely different bodies, and dissimilar in many respects. The party mention­ ed was indicted on the evidence of his victims and of men who had known of his past for years. Both sides of the case were heard, as is many times the case be­ fore federal grand juries, and his own statements were enough to have convicted him alone, sufficiently so that 23 men were unanimously agreed on the subject. Before a trial jury of 12 men all could not agree and he was turned loose to become bolder in his crimes against good citizenship and the moral tone of the world. Probably by the time of the trial of the case the victim had been so worked upon by threats against her life as to repudiate her former statements, and testified In his behalf. A similar case was lately brought to our attention in the daily press, causing the presiding judge to say: “ How are we going to protect children when juries turn men charged with contribu­ ting to their delinquency free. The evidence was as conclusive as any that has been given in this court. Our jails are overrun with such cases, but if juries will not convict men on conclusive evidence there is no way to stop such crimes.” WANTED—A GOVERNOR. The primary election has come and gone, and the results are as noted elsewhere. As far as both parties are concerned, the nominees seem perfectly satisfac­ tory to all with possibly one exception that of thy head of the state ticket. The democrats have named a man entirely unsatisfactory to the old rank and tile, and for whom they now claim they will not cast their ballots in November. My a slick political maneuver many of them were pledged to vote for Smith before they fully realized what they were doing, but now they claim to renounce such allegiance, if such it can be called, and free to vote as they please in the general election. The supporters of Manning and Bennett are sore, and assert they will throw their votes away before they will support the head of the ticket. This listens good to some republicans, of course, were they not in the same boat. Their nominee, Withycombe, is not a man who can control the vote of the intelligent re­ publicans, the man who has kept informed, and a long­ ing is felt for a really good man for the position, be he democrat or republican to come forward and run as an independent. Oregon needs a man untrameled by par­ ty politics of any kind, a man of unquestionable honor, one who has the brains and stamina to safely steer the boat of state through the many waves of disaster that will beset it during the coming four years of otlice. The Itemizer has in mind such a man, but it is doubtful if he could be persuaded to run, after his defeat at the primaries. That is no less a person than Judge Ben­ nett. the one man in Oregon at the present time, who would attri-ct the vote of friend and foe ! ecause of his known fitness for the gubernatorial chair. The Itotn- izer did r.oi support or vo*; for him in the primari'v because we thought him unible to beat Smith, hand'- capped as he was by other nominees for the same otlice, but with the issue direct between him and Smith we believe the voters of both parties would rally to his standard as to that of no other man in Oregon. Judge Bennett developer! in his last race a most surprising vote even to his most sanguine friends, and had he been able to have made a more extended campaign, he would have doubled the vote he received. To our mind Ben­ nett is the man to save the situation for the state at large, and if he can be induced to run, the Itemizer has no fears of the outcome. GOT THINGS MIXED. A large number of exchanges have commented upon most favorably the Independent's recent 42d birthday, says the Hillsboro Independent and most of them have included most kindly mention of the present editor, who assures them of the appreciation of the friendly spirit manifested. But in passing it might be well to call attention to how our sins will always And us out and react upon us. The bane of the existence of ev­ ery editor is the fact that despite the utmost care names of well known people will appear mlspelled in his paper. The Independent has often sinned in this way and now that the name of the editor has crept in­ to the state press it api>eared in some cases in strange and wonderful form. One editor even went so far as to hand a most kind bouquet to Editor "Eiske” for the transformation he had wrought In the Independent, disregarding the fact that Editor Eiske had been serv­ ing Dallas much longer than the Independent man has been in Hillsboro. But after all. names count for little.. The lnde|>endent Is an institution and the man who may for the time being impress his personality upon It is merely a cog. Many have preceeded the present editor and others will take up the work when In the course of time he relinquishes It, but the Inde­ pendent will go on, being each successive birthday more deserving of the kind things said of it. QUERY NOT ANSWERED. Last week the Itemizer asked the little coterie con­ trolling the Dallas Commercial Club their reas m for rai^rg the salary of their secretary f'nm $30 to 150 a moiitn. The Itemizer, which is not like tome papers that refuse to publish both sides of a question, would have been glad to know of their reasons for the increase in salary, and so would over 2000 bona fide subscibers, many of whom are greatly interested in the work, or proposed work, of the club. If this coterie cannot furnish a reason that can be given publicity, . probably the Itemizer can, or say one in this issue, and others in the issues to come, as suits our convenience, we not caring to give up too much space to the little bunch who claim to be “ out after our goat.” It goes against our grain to in any way disparge the work of a good brother, but we can hardly conceive of his labors during the last lew months assisting hi any way to­ ward the building up of Dallas, as we still presume the work of the club to be. Our genial secretary has de­ voted his time most assiduously to running down the work of the county’s largest and best newspaper, and also that of the Observer until its recent change of management, and did all in his power to ruin thein financially by soliciting and giving all the job printing he could possibly control outside of these offices. As newspapers make about the only profit they have out of their job work, he would in all likelihood have suc­ ceeded in the endeavor had not a kind providence inter­ vened in the newspapers’ behalf in the way of an elec­ tion, and the coterie would have been able to run out both papers and secure a puppet that they could con­ trol and dictate to as best suited their ends.
