the front line of defamation and took
; his place beside Patterson, Carmack.
Dubois and the rest. Culberson brought
more ammunition and proceeded to em
ploy it against the United States Army
In the Philippines. i
This ammunition consisted or certain
papers from the-re-eords of the War
Department. Mr.' Culberson had pre
vlously attempted to procure the same
by means of the customary resolution
requesting' that the documents, be fur
nished. Ills purpose had been defeated.
not by any refusal of the Department
to produce the papers, but by the fall,
ure of the Senate to adopt hM resolu
tion calling for the same. Nevertheless
the documents reached him by subway,
and he had them In his - pocket all
ready -to use when he wanted to use
them. :'N . , : ' I?;-
The particular rase to which j these
papers related Is of trifling importance

by which Mr. Culberson succeeded In?
obtaining them. In spite of the fttct

It will also result in better guns and

their mettle under fire. Eternal vigi

COOPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING
V SCHEME. 5
N, T. Sun: We have recorded fr
tlm to time In the last few years sev
eral experiments, mainly in the West,
in co-operative housekeeping. The
taste for It scarcely seems to ' grow.
The increasing difficulty of finding
competent ? domestic .servant f leads
tnany persons to cast' pla tonic glances
at co-operative housekeeping. It seems
a way of escape from trouble. - By It
Inviting economies have been achieved.
It looks promising, but most people are
able to keep put of It. Probably Its
want of privacy -frighten many , of
them away. Their household may. be
a poor thing, like Audrey, but It Is
their own. :'l Still, anything that pre
tends to lessen the cost or friction of
living deserve civil treatment. . Most
of us like to lay. down the Law In re
gard to household economy and to pro
pound great reform therein. Augus

A . goodmany young couple marry

Impetuous and rash, and to the lover

keeping. Corydon draws a week's
wages ahead, a tiny house is furnished
on ' credit,' a license and a clergyman
are procured and the twain are made
one for better or worse until death or
divorce doth them part,
- Matches such as these cause a great
deal of worry to busybodies who suffef
vicariously and gossip , far and wide
when others stoop to folly. . And it is
a fact that people who marry on no
thing are very likely to find that'ex
t fern poverty and pri vatlo'n . spoil, the
happiness 'of" home and cause much
chafing .and bickering. Many- a di
vorce has been granted forneglect or
cruelty or desertion which would never

had saved a little money and was In a
position to furnish a home comfortably
and maintain it well.
" The San Francisco Bulletin, remarks
that some social reformers, seeing the
evil ofJNmprudent ; marriages, - have
proposed dH'ers legal restriction's on
marriage all of whfch would be in
practice ' extremely ; offensive to -the
people and none of which would effect

restrictions range all the way 'from

freedom of marriage. -
' But even if such decrees could be
enforced; it 4s doubtful whether It
would be wise to enact them. Some

ESCAPEOHErRTTE'NTION.
There is a good deal of nonsense in
dulged In by some of the Republican
state papers by abusing Governor Geer
for "proposing to call an extra session
of the Legislature. . So far as the
Statesman knows, tfie Governor has
re--er said he favored an extra session, I
the
land t Is observed that, the papers most
arXJve in assumlnr to know all about
an extra. wesiort are - the same ones
that never for t moment ceased Ihelr
fight on 'the Governor after the con
tention.' daring the campaign nor since
the election and thVn liey wonder
why we don't have an united party.
Why not discuss the merits of an ex
tra session "and leave the personal
matter out of ilt? . " ' "
In discussing; the ' extra session an
Astoria' paper goes so far as4o saya
that the Governor bua lost a hundred
thousand dollars to the School -Fund
by not raising the price of school land.
when that matter rest with the School
Board of three, one 'of whom lives in
Astoria.; who with the other member
of the board" ha just been re-elected
wtthout one word being aald about
school lands from any quarter, and It
la not likely that an increase in the
price of school lands lias ; ' been v de
manded by any paper in the state.
So " far the Governor has not been
blamed for the Pelee eruption, but it

Thls is unjust and mailolousv The
Marlon county officials have ben ac

There has been fear of such a short
age in help as to make It Impossibl
to save the fruit crop In the district
surrounding' San' Jose, Cal. The Mer
tury, of that city, ha been making an
ftnvestlgation of! the "matter, and the
following are the conclusions of that
paper: "As far a the cherry crop I
concerned its harvest Is now well un
der way, and there is abundant labor
and plenty to-spare to take care of it.
The apricot c.rop Is-the kernel In the

but the peach yield Is not Expected to
be above the normal and may fall be

be large but nothing phenomenal. .The

Hon. A. . Bush used to be Super! h
tendent of the Penitentiary. He .was
- .- -
a Democrat, j, a - he has - always been.
and ; served " under 'a Democratic Gov
ernor. '. But Ms employes were not all
Democrats. He had a. sort of civil sef
vice .law of his own. When anyone ap
plied for ;.'-. ! position as ' guard, f he
needed a guard and looked, with any
sort of favor upon the applicant, he
would have the Warden take the man
out 'and -try his 'marksmanship to see
if he could shoot straight and quick.
If he could, and other; requlretrierits
were satisfactory,' the man was taken,
whether he wa a Democrat or a Re
publican. It would be a very good
idea now and in the future to have a
little civil service applied to the In
stltution, and a system of promotions
for. good and efficient service.
Politics ought not to be allowed , to
interfere with efficiency at the Penl
tentiary. Good men there - ought to
be . retained, especially in tbe minor
and the, dangerous positions, and In
those requiring .bravery and nerve,
without much respect' to party or the
faction of any party," or,'- still better,
wfthout any retpeet at alL - "There
should, too, be a system of promotions
for merit and conspicuously deserving
conduct. The Legislature at its ses
sion In January would do wJI to go
over the law which govern that Insti
tution, . and make soma needed
changes. . . ..
' There were plenty of men in the
sheriff posse near Gervals who wer
willing and anxious to go into the tim
ber after the escaped convicts. But
Sheriff Durbia knew K would - mean
certain death for the. brave young men
who were anxious to. make tha rush,
though it might result also in the kilt
ing of the convict murderers. Mr.
Durbln wa unwilling to have the sac
rifice made, even to attain the desira
ble end. The. newspaper reportar or
other man who imagines there are no
brave men among: the pursuers' is
much mistaken. The convicts are not
going to. be allowed to get oat of th
country. ' :". - -
Of course Ingram, the life-time con
vict who probably saved the lives ot
three of the guards, and sustaln-d the
los of one ot his :lerv will be "pardon

PERSONAL AND GENERAL.
The taro escaped convicts were cap
tured over and over again ten thousand
times on th street of Saletn yester
day, and a greater or less number of
ttmes on the streets . of other t.r'ron
cities. The campaign TiKtng over, this
matter came in hands for thto numer-
ous fellows who love to talk about- how
other people, ought to Oo things.
The young: ladles at tha central tel
ephone office are probably tired of an
swering the calls of people who want
to know. If the convicts are captured
yet. But the office force of the states
man ha nqtlm to get tired. ,,

vals concluded that the escaped con
vlcts might become regular boarders.
He thought that he could not afford it,
and so ha temporarily abandoned his
boarding; house. v 7:
F. Knight, of Ramona, South Dako
ta, a subscriber to the -Twice-a-Week
Statesman, is In the city. He Is look
ing for a location with a. view to be
coming a resident of Oregon. He was
here before for the purpose of looking
over the country.
There Is some business In real estate
In Salem and the surrounding country
more than for a long time before.
A man arrived from the Kast on the
morning train a few, days ago. and be
fore, night he had bought himself a.
home. He will buy other property to
rent. ; There 1 a greater- demand for
houaus for rent than ever before in
the history of the city, and more will
have to be built if the demand Is sup
plied for very long.
In times of public excitement, you
can hear, all sorts of things. ; Many
Were the foolish reports started and
circulated : over the : state yesterday
concerning the progress of the pursuit
of the two. escaped convicts. This is
the time of all times when the liar (and
his- name Is legion) gets in his work.
It Is a. pity a large-sixed crop of- tha
liars could not be sent up against the
murderous convicts. They never would
be missed. . ; '

The Statesman : force thought the
good natured crowds would be with
them In front of the office no longer
after It -was definitely known who was
elected Governor, But the tragedy at
the Penitentiary and the chase . after
the murderous, convicts has brought
them back. If this thing keeps up,
things are going to be lonesome around
this office after the crowds disperse
finally. They are welcome. Even the
scores and scores of telephone callers
are welcome. ' But it makes it rather, a
strenuous . life around the Statesman
office. . r" ,
John F. Cord ray Is in the city for a
day or two. Mr. Cord ray is looking
over the situation, e.nl figuring up the
pile of, money he has made the past
year and estlmatihir how much more ..
may make during the next season. Seri
ously, he has not had one cent of profit
out of his Salem venture. Nevertheless
he is satisfied and pleased, and hopeful
of the outlook. The season is now over
There will be only straggling troops un
til about the middle of .August, when
(he. next season opens. Mr. Cord ray
says the. next season will be a brilliant
one. - He has felt his way and found
out that the people of Salem will . sup-
port the best companies. It has taken
time Idf demonstrate this. It has been
demonstrated, however, and this will
give Mr. Cordray an opportunity to
give better satisfaction in the future,
and a chance to make something for
himself out ofthe venture.
The Oregonian has .been asking If
there is really any black "bass In Ore
gon. A friend of the writer saw. at least
a tnousand or. inem a. tew days ago in
the Willamette.
The tragedy at the Penitentiary will
result in the guards being better paid
and better armed,' and better equipped
and disciplined generally. The Legis
lature will not provkie grudgingly for
the Penitentiary In these regards in the
