THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY. OREGON.
THE C0li.UK W At EXE TROUBLE
About 100 men are ("till confined
in the "bull pen" at Wardner, Ida
ho, for alleged complicity in the de
struction of the Bunker Hill A Sul
livan mill fust 'April. According
U the Idaho State Tribune, t he offi
cial organ of the Miner's Union, of
that district, thefie men have been,
and are still being persecuted and
mistreated in a manner thatshould
make the keepers of Russian ex
iles in Siberia turn greerr with envy
From the paper above referred
to we make the following extract:
"About a week ago the inmates
of the bull pen were discovered in
the act of tunueling out and while
it must be generally admitted that
persons imprisoned on charge of
crime forfeit in a great measure
their standing and respectability
by attempting to escape from the
oflicersof the law. Nevertheless
pelf-preservation is the first law of
nature and to escape is the natural
inclination, and after remaining in
the bull pen for five long weary
months, without charge or trial,
while two sessions of the district
court of Shoshone county have
been held, and with the further
'knowledge that the civil courts
have been barricaded against them
by the Krag Jorgenson rifles of
Governor Steunenburg, the attempt
to escape was but natural and we
doubt if in all Idaho there can be
found ten persons who would not
make the atterrpt under like cir
cumstances, but for this attempted
escape a punishment is imposed
upon them. They were ordered to
dig a ditch nine feet deep around
the entire prison, which order they
Btubbornly refused to obey. Their
refusal was not only human but
just. The prisoners in the bull pen
are convicted of no crime and un
der the law of this country are pre
sumed innocent until proved guilty
and no officer, however great, has
any moral or legal right to compel
them to do manual labor against
their will. They are entitled to
wholesome food, comfortable beds
and decent treatment and can in
no sense be rightfully treated as
felonB until judgment has been
passed upon them by the courts of
the country. But it appears that
the authorities have no regard for
law and decency, and when the
prisoners refused to work at man
ual labor at the command of Cap
tain Edwards and without remun
eration they were placed ou a bread
and water diet. All the straw was
taken from their bunks and they
are compelled to sleep on the hard
boards. Refreshments . of every
kind are denied them. Those ad
dicted to the use of tobacco are re
fused it. They are compelled to
stand up in line in the boiling sun
seven hours per day and denied the
right to take a step or move a limb
. under pain of death. Such cruelty
is without a parallel in this age of
Christian civilization".
Every man who was implicated
in the riot of last April should be
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law but, if the above statements
are correct, it would seem that per
secution and not prosecution ia'the
method being employed by the state
and military authorities in the
Coeur d' Alenes. If the charges
which have been iterated and reit
erated by the Tribune for the last
five months are true, there can be
no doubt but that the state author
ities have trampled the law under
foot to as great an ex tent as the rio
ters did. If they are not true why
do the authorities not stop the pub
lication of the paper. If the Trib
une's charges are false the office
should be closed and the editor
should be locked up. If they are
true the governor and his subordi
nates should be impeached, remov
ed from office ard sent to the pen
ltentiary. .
The Oregonian quotes a New
York paper to the effect that the
high price of beef to the American
consumer is due to the fact that
American packers are selling beef
in England at a loss of $1,000,
000 a month in order to drive Aus
tralian beef from that market and
tt "play even" they have raised
the price to the consumers at homo.
That is the method employed by
trusts in more cases than one. The
"dear people" pay all sorts of pro
fits and expenses to the trust mag
nates and then shout themselves
hoarse for the politicians w ho wink
at trusts and make their robberies
legal and respectable.
A Car-load of
Superior Disc Drills
The legislature of Oregon could
protect ' the people of the state
against the outrageous charges of
the express companies for services
between points within the state.
Particularly are these charges ex
cessive on smaller packages sent
from Portland to points in Eastern
Oregon. For carrying and deliver
a package under eight pounds from
Portland to Pendleton the charge
is beyond reason, being nearly as
much as for a similar package from
Chicago to Pendleton. The Port
land merchants should use their
influence with a view of lessening
these charges of the express com
panies, as the discrimination against
Portland has the effect of driving a
considerable business east that be
longs by right to Portland trades
men. In matters of this kind the
Portland business interest is dere
lict, not seeming to care to what
extent extortion is resorted to so
long as it is not directly attributed
to it. The express companies
should be made to reduce their rates
on the smaller packages to some
thing near the level of rates charg
ed for similar service by the express
companies in the East, and the bus
iness men of Portland should take
the initiative in the matter, and if
necessary, correct the abuse by act
of the legislature. Since the ex
press companies take advantage of
every opportunity to cinch the pub
lic the least they should expect is
that the people will make use of
their powers to protect themselves
against extortion. The charges of
these companies concern every cit
izen of the state, as they unneces
sarily add to the cost of living, so
that big dividends may be paid to
stockholders who have no interest
in the country or the people, other
wise than to exact all the traffic
will bear. East Oregonian.
