In sentencing them only to prison confinement, the .state has been generously, merciful to the D ’ Autremonts. In cold blooded audacity, in deliberate intent, in shameless brutality, in absolute indiffer ence to the possible consequences upon hundreds of passengers imprisoned in the death trap tunnel, their deed stands unparalleled. And yet we anticipate that the ink upon the commitment. papers will hardly have dried before the sentimentalists will begin their subtle protest ugwinat this “ cruel and inhuman confinement” of “ mere boys” who suffer perhaps from some kind of abnormal mental complex, or the effects of unfavor able childhood environment. It is quite possible that the boys will be model prisoners for a time. They will write for the insti tutional magazine, and glorify themselves anew. Soon some social theorist will arise to espouse .their cause ^nd plead for a pardon. The public will forget the scene in the SiBkiyon tunnel and lose interest in the men who were responsible for it, and with the common human passion for doing a kindness that costs nothing, men and women will be persuaded to sign petitions, urging that the D ’Autremonts be set free. / In 'view of these possibilities, which amount rather to probabilities, we would suggest that a special committee of incorruptible citizens be now appointed who shall set themselves to remember the facts of the D ’Antremont case and have them ready to marshal against the insidious attack of the chronic sob sister sympathizers. It has cost a lot of time and money and effort to get the D ’Autremonts into the penitentiary. By all means, let us keep them there. We shall be fortunate indeed if these desperate . meh do not contrive a prison break, and a new slaughter of innocent men. They should be guarded with unrelaxing vigilance within the prison, and now and in years to come officials who may have the pardoning power should be advised that in the case of the D ’Autremonts, life imprisonment is to mean life imprisonment—nothing less. — P o r t l a n d Tele gram. Improve Winbum Way At various points along Winbum Way, yisitora to Lithia park congregate—at the Lithia fountain, the picnic grounds, tennis courts, for instance. Most of these visitors come to the park to escape the heat and dust and to enjoy the beauty of the mun^ipal playgrounds. Yet, part of Winbum Way remains unpaved, with the dust frequently becoming extremely annoy ing to the visitors to the park. While practically all of the main traveled streets in our city are paved, part of this street, which is used by probabfy as many motorists as any other street, with the excep tion of Main street, remains unimproved. It might be impractical to consider paving Winbum Way, but possibly the city could work out an oiling plan Which woulct allay the dust and make this thoroughfare more attractive. Circumstantial Evidence One result of the recent D ’Autremont trial and subsequent confession by the three boys is the re*/ moval of prejudice against circumstantial evidence which 'was so evident in the examination of the jurors in the trial. Circumstantial evidence is indirect, but when a community has an example where the.citcumstan- tial evidence and the details of a confession coin cide so generally, there should be less reluctance in the future to accept circumstantial evidence. As one of the attorneys stated, witnesses may lie, but circumstances do not. It appears that ho was right as far as the latter fact is concerned anyway. Everything but the brass band was at the Med ford station Thursday veiling to see D ’Autrenjonts off. When the show-down came they had a real ■end off after all. And now “ Abie’s Irish Bose” has gone clean er to Germany where she is known as “ Abraham M fria” which spoils the whole thing. There is one advantage to the Nevada divorce .

"Splendid Joy," by Marguerite Williams, la not so startling, but the author has contrived an en gaging love story, wherein a wo man of gnfious personality Is admired sad won by a man pos sessing an intolerant nature, never yielding in his pursuit of right and duty. The combina tion of .faith and love in the wo man carries their married ljfe courageously on, baffling- his ob- durateness.
