Goodness, gracious, mercy mo,
How can such things really bo;
Wisdom, fitness for tho placo
Have naught to do in such a case.
A Harvard student gambled 'away

Jlasitius for houlth,
WITH HONOR
IT "WAS too bad that tho escaped "honor nion" wove so
.speedily recaptured. 11 eut so short, tho "1 tojd you
so" triumph.
Human nature is full of frailly that is the only rea
son these prisoners attempted to escape. A little vicious
ness, considerable weakness, a large lump of folly, a dis
torted vision and an inverted perspective and you
have it.
In any crowd of twenty-seven men. picked up as you
meet them, and not from the tmtter or from the prison.
will be found a certain percentage of the unworthy. If
only three out of twenty-seven violate their word of honor
it will be an unusuallysmall percentage. There is a big
ger percentage among the business men of Medford who
signed up contributions for public funds and then repu
diated their pledges.
"When, however, the soleetion is made from among
those who have been the under dogs, who have suffered
for their own and perhaps for others' sins, whose outlook
has been strangely twisted, who have been led to regard
law and order as more or less of a common enemy, yet. who
are really the product of the mistakes of civilization, it
is remarkable indeed that there should prove to be so
many in Avhom is implanted
A tew veal's ago two convicts, watched by nnnocX
guards, escaped from the Oreiron penitentiary and left a'
trail of murder and blood
only when both had been shot down like the hunted beasts
they were. The inhuman treatment then accorded pris
oners was as much responsible for this outbreak as the
natural depravity of the men themselves. I lad Tracy been
an "honor man" his escape would have been heralded as a
shining example of the failure of a system that trios to
lift the fallen instead of trampling them still further in
the mud yet it was the product of the old regime.
It is the irony of fate that the escape of these honor
men was discovered onlv when an attempt was made to
present one of them with his
ernor. There was mt reason
tempted to get away. They stated less than a fortnight
ago that they were satisfied and contented, and infinitely
preferred the life to thnUat Salem. Yet with all to lose,
and nothing to gain, they played to lose and lost.
This incident illustrates the difficulties in the thank
less task Governor "West has set for himself in being cour
ageous enough to defy criticism from the uncharitable and
bonehcaded, by lending a helping hand to many unworthy
of the opportunity yet the percentage of the worthy is
large enough to justify the effort as the results have
amply ijrovcn.
CREDIT WHERE
T1IE Oregon Retail Merchants' Association at their
annual meeting held in Medford adopted a resolu
tion pledging support to Congressman llawley "in .his
effort to secure an appropriation for the Crater Lake
highway."
This is interesting as there is no .recorded instance of
Congressman Ilawle s ever having made an el tort to
secure an appropriation for Crater Lake park.
AH bills affecting Crater Lake that have yet been con
sidered by congress "were introduced in the senate, killed
in the house, without Hawlejs objection, revived and
saved in joint conference by the Oregon senators. These
measures were introduced, by Senator Bourne and ably
championed by Senator Chamberlain.
There is now pending before the senate a measure in
troduced by Senator Bourne known as S. 4451, which reads
as follews:
"A bill to authorize the construction of a road in Cra
ter Lake National park, Oregon, and to appropriate one
hundred thousand dollars for the commencement thereof.
"Be it enacted by the senate and house of representa
tives of the United Stales of America in congress assem
bled, that the sum of one hundred thousand dollars be. and
is hereby, appropriated, to be paid out of tiny money in
the treasury not otherwise appropriated, to lie immediate
ly available, and to be expended under the direction of
the secretary of war and the supervision of the chief of
engineers, for the construction of a wagon road and the
necessary bridges through Crater Lake National park,
Oregon, together with a system of tanks and water supply
pipes to provide for sprinkling, in accordance with the
recommendations contained in the report of the war de
partment published as house document numbered three
hundred and twenty-eight, Sixty-second congress, second
sessien: .Provided, that tile secretary oi war may enter
into a contract or contracts for such materials and work
as may be necessary to complete the said project, to be
paid for as appropriations may from time to time beNnade
by law, not to exceed in the aggregate six hundred and
seven thousand dollars, exclusive of repairs and mainte
nance and of the amount herein apprepuiated: Provided
further, that the work may, in the discretion of the secre
tary of war, be carried on by contract or otherwise, as may
be most economical or advantageous to tlio United States;
and provided further, that sucli sums as may be necessary
for repairs and maintenance of the said road, bridges, and
sprinkling system, not exceeding twenty thousand dollars
per annum, may be expended from the appropriations here
inbefore made and authorized."
Oregon merchants should be just enough and fair
enough to give credit where credit is due, and not to play
partisan or factional politics by bestowing upon one un
earned praise at the expense of the other even though
Senator Bourne does champion the parcels post.
Congressman Uawley will have another opportunity to
work for Crater Lake, by securing the passage of this bill
through the house. If he does it, he will be justly entitled
to praise and commendation, lie has a chance to make
good let us hope he will not be asleep at the switch.
lUvery porson in Oregon or elsewhere interested in
Crater Lake should write personal appeals to their ac-
fliuiiutnuces in congress asking support Xov. .this bill,, and I
AND WITHOUT.
a sense of honor and a de-
throutrh two states that ended

should assist in lining up congressmen from their former
homes to vote for this measure, which means so much to
the development and progress of southern Oregon.
