WEST'S ANTI-HANGING POLICY Haphazard Interviews with Grants Puss cttlzous, just as they were en countered on the street, show divided opinions regarding Governor Oswald West's anti-hanging p; : !-. The .nut ter is of peculiar Ini-rest here, due to the fact thatJUIko Morgan, slayer of John E. York, was recently found 4 I guilty of murder In the first degree by a Grants Puss Jury and sentenced by Judge F. M. Calkins to be hanged Jiinuury 5. Following are brief ex pressions of those Interviewed: J. P. Martin, member of (he Jury which convicted Morgan 1 believe a man who committed n deed like Mor gan did should be hung. Judgo James Holnian What aro we coming to? Crime Is rampant and criminals treated as decent men. Sheriff Will Smith When a man is sentenced o be hung, ho should be executed. Deputy Sheriff Eugene Coburn The governor of Oregon Is becoming lo be a Joke. L. R. Steolhammor -Not taking In to consideration the governor's legal rights in the niattor. I enn truth fully say that them's my sentiments. I do not believe In capital punish ment. Deputy Sheriff W. M. Cheshire Some men need hanging. Judge H. H. Hosier Capital pun ishment, If Justifiable at all, can only be so on thu ground that It Is neces sary to take a human life In order to protect society. E. L. Churchill I am no particular friend of Governor West, but I will say no one will ever get me on a Jury where capital punishment is Involved. W. 8. Maxwell I rather favor Gov ernor West's opinion. C. Lockett Don't think Gov. West has ti right to set aside the law. However, whe:e It Is only i Ircumstnn- tial evidence I do not believe In capi tal punishment. K. R. Lawrence Capital punish ment Is murder. We have no right to murder. If Governor West has the legal right In the matter I endorse his h( and. A. W. llutlor I do not think capl tal punishment should be abolished. J. D. Fry I do not seo on what au thorlty the governor can sot aside the 1aw.. He seemi to place himself above the constitution. C. II. Clements, city attornoy I believe the recall should be used on ft man who abuses th gubernatorial discretion in such cases. Dr. J. C. Smith I believe the gov ernor should take the guns away from tho guards at tt state prison; they are liable to hurt some of those nice criminals. T. J. Fuson As a general proposi tion, I do not bellsvs In capital pun ishment. An tiptloa should be mad In caes where men criminally aau1t womrn In the South and else where over tho unloa. Elmer 8. Shank I do not favor Let the following Etlr up our pure minds by way of rememberance: Re ports, first from the pastor, second the Sunday school superintendent, third the president of the Epwortb League, fourth superintendent Inter mediate League, fifth president Lad les' Aid society, sixth chairman of the various committees; (let each com mittee meet at the earliest opoprtun lty for the purpose of choosing a chairman, and a secretary. You will then be able to report to the first quarterly conference that you are or ganized and ready for business); sev enth president of Men's club; eighth committee on Auditing and Records. Discipline 102. "Let there be a hear'y response and full cooperation on the par. of all our people and a cordial welcomo to all our friends, w'.ch leving Impor tunity to the unsaved; and 'urther, a j special effort of Importuning love to to the worth-while, undecided child ren of our homes. Parents, bring the cnlldren with you to the Holy Com munion. Help them at this hour and time to rejoice that they have already been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, and to acknowledge Him as their personal saviour. Only eternity will reveal the Infinite worth of your effort. May we, then, as pastor and people, be of one mind and purpose In this supreme work of life to which the God of our salvation has called us. "Faithfully yours in His name. "Rev. Wm. R. Jeffrey, pastor." capital punishment, and then often there Is an execution on circumstan tial evfdence where a mistake might have been made. Capital punishment is taking a life for a life. That gains nothing for humanity. If a mistake has been made by an execution, it 1b a physical impossibility to rectify It. Isolation of the criminal can be made complete without running the risk of wrongfully destroying human life. 'UNFEELING Jl'IKJE." SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28.

(nrtrrinip uiu merMTrnc KCYCnUL HAH LA3 WHISKEY BOX IN OFFICE i A most "lovely sensation," yum! yum! was sprung on the town last night when rumors went flying fast that Dr. S. Loughrldge had been gobbled up by a United States inter nal revenue officer, who accused the "Red Crosse knight," apologies to Spenser) of receiving cases of whisky into his office from Portland and at the same time having no gov ernment license to sell liquor. A Courier representative met the physi cian and said: "Good morning, Dr. Loughrldge, how about It?" ' "Haw-haw" and the aforesaid doctor laughed a loud and long Sut Lovingood laugh and said: "Well, you Just tell 'em that I am still In Grants Pass. Yes, I was threatened with hair-raising threats and now I am going to make some other peo ple's hair stand on end. A man rep resenting himself as a government revenue officer stormed into my of fice yesterday and in the presence of my patients accused me of receiving whiskey in cases and not having a government license to sell liquor. " 'What are you talking about any way?' I asked the blustering sleuth. He then pointed to a box which was labled 'Whiskey' and 'Bottled in Bond,' etc. " 'That box was shipped to me from a wholesale drug house In Port land and contained drugs,' I told the disturber. "Then he said to me: 'That box was shipped to you from Portland November 14 and Is labeled whiskey.' " 'Yes, It was shipped to me on November 14 and It contained drugs,' I replied. And then I ot the bill, dated November 14 and showed It to the sleuth and told him that If there was anything else he wanted to see In my office, to Just pry In. " 'The revenue stamp on that box is not erased or scratched,' said the government man. ' . " 'That's none of my business, 1 replied, and continued: If that drug firm sends me drugs In a whiskey case and does not scratch the labeF, then that's their funeral.' " 'Well, it's, a violation of the law to use this box for other stuff than liquor 60 long as the stamp is Intact, and I shall go after the drug firm,' said he. "Then I told him something and It was this, that he had come into my office In the presence of friends aud patients of mine mid made a big 'hol ler,' and that If he thought he had a caso against nie, Just turn his wolf loose and 1 would be present when the fur began to fly. But the man came down from his high perch and then proposed -yes sir, actually pro posed to me, he did that I take out n government license to Bell liquor. I told him I had no use for his gov ernment license, thta I was not in the whiskey business. Yes sir, I did. did. "Now, I have placed the case in the hands of Attorney H. D. Norton with instructions that Mr. Norton bring suit for damages against that Port land drug house for shipping drugs to me in a whiskey case,, causing n revenue agent to storm around my office, humiliate me and cause gos sip to run riot over the town. Why, this morning when I came down the street some people lookedaskance at me, yes they did, as If I had been possessed of hoofs and horns and a forked tall.
