It is a little strange that it is never
known that a man "is a member of a
prominent family," until he commits
some offense that gets his name into

Mr. Hearst buying a magazine
merely in keeping with the spirit of the
aore. A erreat many men own both
newspapers and magazines. In Eng
land there is considerable of a custom
that way. Mr. Hearst has the money,
and, the Democrat predicts, will pre
sent a magazine just about as readable
as anvtfiine in the United States, and
as seeable, for that is half these pic
torial days. Of course he will be ac
cused of making a yellow production,
but the fact is Hearst's papers are not
as yellow as some that howl at his
heels. Whatever the motive his papers
stand for a higher moral sentiment
than some of the infidel sheets that are
perpetually crying yellow every time a
paper comes out with a red head or one
reaching across the paper. The Demo
crat isn't struck after the circus style
of great heads and enormous waste of
paper, but it is a right publishers have,
and has nothing to do with the yellow
part.
Senator Booth is one of the defend
ants in the land fraud cases who will
face the judge and jury on the merits
of the cases without any demurrers or
pleas in abatement. The course is a
gouu una aim wm .ieiH .uui, ..v
the people are demanding is a clean
trill on the merits of the different ;
cases. If the men can prove their in
nocence, and the Democrat hopes to
see some of them do so, they should be
acquitted, if guilty let them pay the
penalty. An unpleasant feature is the
fact that down in California, and othar
places there are men who have done
ten times as much meanness and have
not been touched; but that fact does
not vary the situation, for every case
must stand on its own merits, no onenamed in the contest .cases above, filed
would ever be convicted for any crime
if this was a good defense, for in every-
thing there are more men not convicted
,than convicted: more common thievM,
more big thieve3, mire highway rob
bers, more embezzlers, more murder
ers, and yet the courts of justice have
a duty to perform when the opportu
nity offers which cannot be ameliorated
by the escape of others from justice.

The war situation has been very tame
the past week, as quiet as the. deserted
village. The land forces are hardly
mentioned, resting on their arms, while
the sea forces have been principally
seen, the Russians going northward to
wards Vladivostok or some other place,
and the Jap3 trailing them, evidently
with soma deep laid scheme in view,
which may perhaps be sprung some
day with a surprise for the world.
Cunning is the Jap, and, almost any
thing may De expected, in the mean
time the public is looking toward other
things.
.
In the United States tha- principal
things attracting national attention
have been the big Chicago strike and
the Nan Patterson trial.
The Chicago strike has been the
worst for a number of years, being
characterized' by violence and extreme
measures. The state government was
even asked to call out the militia, but
very properly refused, and left Chicago
to settle her own troubles, which she is
at tempting to do through different
means, one through a professional
strike breaker, a new arrangement in
affairs. The Democrat has never at-
tampted to solve the strike dilemma
and probably will not. It is a ' deep
thing, which even our statesmen have
boen unable ito fathom successfully,
and, like other questions, will probably
be settled only when the people are
elueated up to a higher standard of
government.
Just why the Nan Patterson trial
shsuldjlattract so much attention the
Democrat is unable to understand.
The peculiarity of the case may possi
bly have caused it, though most murder
cases are peculiar. Murder trials are
occurring everywhere without much
national notoriety, but this case has
absorbed the first place in a great
many of the big'papers of the country
regardless of nearness to the scene of
the trial.
There isthis much about such things.
Modern methods of communication
have brought different parts of the
country so closetogether as to almost
eliminate differences, and there is a
heart throb that permeates the whole
country. .
A good deal of interest has been
manifested in the coming Portland city
election, this week the preliminary
steps being taken in a direct primary
nomination of candidates for the differ
ent offices of the city. The election
has been run on modern methods, and
the Portland papers have been full of
advertisements of the candidates re
gardless of the politics of the men ad
vertising. It seems to have become a
commercial proposition of dollars and
hcents in the securing of influence,
something that is characterizing affairs
all through the country, a spirit of m-
HenenHeuce that is marked in all kinds
of dealings, mixed up with it being the
ljuiiiiHeiviai spiiib vi. gain mau ,ui
many. The selection of good men
means a good deal for Portland, making
:i f : x.n.
it a fight of principle, much more than
politics. This much may be said. May
or Williams should not be reelected,
and Portland needs a different kind of
a man than Fred Merrill for mayor.
An Oregon event this week was the
robbery of the bank at Woodburn by a
couple of men, who were successful in
securing several thousand dollars and
escaping in broad day light, with six
hours of day light ahead. Thi3 is one
way of making money followed by a
few men in the country, and a very
poor one from any standpoint, business
or any other. The chances are that
the men will end their careers in the
pen without a cent. The little money
they'secured, if they escape, will fly
through their dissipated hands, and
they have created an unnecessary spirit
of uneasiness and fear among bankers.

OUGLIELMO HANGED,
Died Game. Garacia Shaved.
Salem, Friday, May, 5. -Frank
Guglielmo was hanged this noon at the
penitentiary for the murder of his 16-year-old
sweetheart Freda Garacia, at
her home on 6th and Harrison streets
Portland on the afternoon of June 14, J
1904.-
Guglielmo slept but little last night
and contrary to expectations died game.
He made a ten minnte speech saying he
had been persecuted because he was an
Italian and blamed the Governor for
not showing more consideration for the
King of Italy and the Italian consuls at
San Franciseond Portland.
The father of the murdered girl was
E resent wearing a heavy beard, which
e said he would not cut uutil his
daughter's murderer was hanged. After
the hanging he immediately boarded a
car and went to the first shop and had
his face shaved, except his mustache.
Guglielmo had been acquainted with
the young girl for nearly a year and
four months before the tragedy oc
curred and she had promised to become
his wife. Her parents Mr. and Mrs.
Gaetano Garacia, were opposed to the
engagement as they considered
Guglielmo's morals bad, for though only
22-years old he had been married and
divorced, because of cruelty to his wife.
The young couple held clandestine
meetings and the lover frequently call
ed at the house when the parents were
out.
On June 14, last Guglielmo received
one of his love messages from Freda
delivered to him at his saloon and in
response he called at the house
that afternoon. Freda was alone
with her little cousin Concetta, who was
sent outside by Guglielmo. A few
seconds later the report of a revolver
was heard, Guglielmo was seen to.run
out of the house, jump onto a -bicycle
which he had left at the gate and ride
rlnwn the ctront in fVia u u:

minutes and mounted his wheel and
