It is safe to say those murderous
convicts, Tracy and Merrill, who
escaped from the penitentiary Mon
day, will not have to serve out
their allotted time.
I f caught
alive, which is improbable, they
will surely swing.
Senator Hanna has found it
necessary to sit down on President
Roosevelt again. The President
was about to see that the civil ser
vice law was to be enforced
in Ohio, when Mr. Hanna stepped
in and told the President to go a
little slow, and so Mr. Roosevelt
has decided to let the matter drop.
The Eugene Register has begun
to have fits already for fear Gov.
Geer is going to call an extra ses
sion o f the legislature for the pur
pose of making a law placing all
state officers on fiat salaries. Evi
dently the Register man has been
taught that party platforms were
made to get in on and not to fulfill.
Looked at from a financial stand
point there is nothing but loss re
sultant from the Boer war. On
the one side the republics are wiped
out o f existence, and on the other
the cost o f bringing this result
about has been far in excess of any
resulting benefits that even the
ages can repay. The ending of the
Boer war brings to mind the words
o f the greatest British general, who,
after Waterloo, wrote his govern
m en t: “ Nothing except a battle
lost can be half so melancholy as a
battle won.”
