ATHENA, MARCH. 13
190H
An official of the Oregon penitentiary
recently scaled the walls in the night,
moved about at his leaeuro nnd then
climbed out again. He selected as tbo
point of transit the placo where Tracy
and Merrill jiad gone in making their
escape. Of course he ran some risk,
for he could not be assured that the
guards were of the same sort that were
killed by the desperadoes, but this is
the sort the guards proved to be.
Naturally they were dismissed from
their positions, as they deserved to have
been. So would the former guards had
' not the outcome been sudden and final.
It is strange that the ghastly episode
failed to convey a lesson. The fact
leads to a suspicion that the Salem
prison is loosely and badly managed,
thinks the Tacoma Ledger. Oregon was
discredited by every detail of the break
made by Tracy a.id Merrill. Not only
was the escape without excuse, but the
dilatory pursuit was wholly ineffective,
iind the rewards offered were witbbeli
froiti .the people who tioally earned
thiftn. The burden of the chase fell to
officials of Washington and the courtesy
was never acknowledged. It waa
thought, however, that the Salem in
stitution would be conducted as a pris
on rather than as a place where convicts
might remain or which they might leave,
as best suited their tastes.
Tfhe new year is now two weeks over
twq months old. Editors always ex
pect subscribers to square up along
about the first of the year, especially
those who are delinquent, but as the
weeks pass by and the delinquents do
not show ,up. it wakes. the editor love
his ad vance subscribers the more and it
is then that he feels like requoting those
beautiful lines: . "How dear to my heart
is the steady subscriber, who pays in ad
vance at the birth of the year; who lays
down his money and does it quite glad
ly, and cast round the office a halo of
cheer. He never says '(stop it, I cannot
afford it,' nor 'I'm getting more papers
now than I can read,' but always says,
'Send it, the family likes it; in fact, we
all think it a real household need.'
How welcome he is when he steps in the
sanctum; how he makes our hearts
throb, how he makes our hearts dance.
We outwardly thank him, we inwardly
bless him, the steady subscriber who
pays in advance."
Securing decision of the department
to establish an irrigation system in Ore
gon evidences the fact that Mr. Moody
is an untiring worker for the state he
has represented the paBt four years in
congress, and had he accomplished
nothing ehie, this alone would entitle
him to credit, says The Dalles Times
Mountaineer. But since his term as
congressman for the Second Oregon
District has expired, and having de
clined to accept an appointment to office
by the president, as told in the Wash
ington dispatches of last Friday, signify
ing his intention to retire to private life,
return to bis home in this city and de
vote himself to business, all may view
his public career from a dispassionate
standpoint, and when this is done, it
must be conceded that he has been a
faithful public servant, a diligeut and
effectual worker for tha interest of Ore
gon. While he may not have accom
plished all his constituents expected of
him, in fact he has not accomplished all
for Oregon that he hoped to, perhaps
more than any other congressman Ore
gon has ever had, and he can retire from
pn'.lu" I if." h itd hon-irs. It in to he hoped
tu. i: - ,iwir !! tv t uuluiug

GOVEBNMENT COXSTRCCTIOK.
The ways of the new battleship Con
necticut at the Brooklyn navy yard are
complete and an announcement made
that work on the actual laying of the
keel will probably begin next week. In
naval circles the progress in the con
struction of the Connecticut will be fol
lowed with closest interest. In the first
place, the battleship is being built by
th United States at one of its own
yards, something that has not been done
since the days of the old wooden ships
of war. It has been contended by many
high authorities that the building of the
nation's warships could be done better
and more cheaply by private contract
than by the nation itself. In order to
put the problem to a fair test the gov
ernment decided to construct the Con
necticut itself and at the same time let
the contract for her sister ship, the
Louisiana, to a private contractor. The
results, it is expected, will determine
the question as to whether Uncle Sam
in future hod better build his own war
ships. There is another reason why , the
building of the Connecticut attracts un
usual attention. The ship will be the
largest ever built by the United States
navy. ho is to carry the heaviest
armor and t' e imi-t powerful ordnance
for a vessel of her class upon a trial
displncement of jiot more than 16,000
tons, nnd is to havo the highest practical
speed and the greatest radius of action.
The ship will, of -course, be built of
steel, and her hull protected at the
water line by a complete circle of arma
ment. She is designed as a flagship and
everything upon her will be of the most
modern character,
AtltliBtated.
