The astonishing th in g about the narrative is the glibness of the story, Three young m artyrs to a social system that is unjust and crash in g and ail that sort of thing. There w ill be m any who w ill weep and believe this bunk about bitterness engendered in prison, about the com ing o f an insane desire for revenge on the social order after sundry browsings in Darwin and H uxley and Schoepenhauer, etc. “ The hand of the P otter w avered ,” com plains the precious Hugh! “ Conditions o f our boyhood’^ and all that sort of stu ff 1 O bviously God and par ents as well as social system are draw n in by this fine trio.

For those who m ay be deceived by th is w him pering of earthly oircumstanees we w an t to call up a little picture by way o f con trast There is in th is town a young man crippled alm ost beyond belief, born into the direst circumstances, sure a v ictim o f the fates if there ever was one. Painfully, patien tly, he has m ad^Jus way, paid his w ay, achievfl< ajt a late age an education. From this young man w e m ight expeet to hear the plaint of ju stice of an unkind Providence. W e thought o f him as we read the rather scholarly conftesipg-^ i4k e D ’A ttrem on ts. O u the whole the D ’Autremonts had fa ir'sch o o lin g and advantages. The world w as before them had they chosen to do right. H ugh tells of the engine hell ringing to haunt him. W e heard the engine bell ringing, toon .We saw three decent American citisens, trainsmon, being shot down at their posts, a postal clerk blown t a bits, to glorify the mad ego o f the three brothers. W e saw a child w ife and a baby in an Ohio steel mill town dragged into shame and suffering by a man who know that sooner or later he would be taken for murder. W e found only one redeem ing thing in the whole statem ent, the loyalty between brothers. W e do not believe in capital punishment, and we sh an ’t mourn because the D ’Antremonts w ill not hang as better men have in Oregon. W e do crave certainty of punishment as a deterrent of crime. It is a good thing for Oregon that the D ’Autremonts have been caught and w ill be punished. Let there be no silly sentiment over these rogues. Let there be productive work and plenty o f it for them at the penitentiary. Had there been more work and less crazy adm ixture of Schoepenhauer and uplift at Monroe there m ight not have been a Siskiyou robbery w ith its cold blood ed murders. — Eugene Guard. » Road Needs Oiling It lias been a mystery to The D aily T idings as to why the Ashland-Klamath F alls highway has not been oiled.
