Patroiute One Another for the Upbuilding of Tow n and County.
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. Enough
for this week.
