Newspaper Page TextTHE ONLY r Daily Capital Journal. BY HOKBR QKOTHKR". PKIDAY, MAY 21, 1W7. EDITORIAL. Tmiemnlna events of more tlian common Interest are Memorial day, May 31, and Intercollegiate Field day, June 5th. Large crowds or visitors will participate In these events. Saturday will be a lively day at Sr. lem. Three athletic associations meet for a local field day. The People's party county central committee will hold an Important session. It will be a good business day at the Capital City. To receive an encouraging word In a letter Un plcwuw to even a news paper mun, iiinl while we cannot print all iucIi. th.-y arc not the le-s appre ciated. Enclose a few words or opin ion, or now, or crop conditions, or or erltlc'mii when you write. We are not even averse to tally. The Statesman should let upon Its nouses or Governor Lord and Hon. II. W. Corbett terore It loses the busi ness support or those to whom It Is so heavily in debt that they arc compelled to palroulzc Its columns. Besides It lived well through the McKInley campaign on their contributions. The great Christian Endeavor gath ering at 'Frisco, In July is liable to attract hundreds or vl&itors rrom Oregon. Mr. Olle, the state presl dentand manager forOrcgon.ls hopimr to announce a $15 round trip rate, and a special Oregon train that Is to carry not less than 600 passengers. The railroads now otler only a $20 first-class round trip rate, under which attendance will be small. Local brickyards do not appreciate having the state .penitentiary supply ing convict-made brick to contractors In compctlon with rrcc labor. They do not appreciate having a state Institu tion supported by public taxes put In compctlon with them as taxpayers uud business men. Last year a largo quantity of brick wus traded for cord wood and this hurt both the brick business and the wood business. We can not blame the superintendent of the prison, as he Is no doubt author ized by law to do all these things, and does them to mako a good financial showing for the Prison. The truo theory of employing convict labor Is tocreate new employment forconylcts. The construction of stato 6ewcra, state buildings, state roads and canals would be proper and no one could take exception. But the convict labor should not bo allowed to enter fields of rree labor and ruinously interfere with any established business. The loyalty of Governor Lord to his party should have spared him the disgraceful paragraphs to which ho Is being treated dally In tho States man the aliened party onran. Its course cannot hurt htm, and can only ruin its own standing as a nowspaper business. It Is well known Hendricks has been kept at tho reform school through the especial protection and Intervention of the governor The governor treated the reform school superintendent most charitably and liberally when ho was dally writing articles condemning tho governor, and left his post of duty to come down aud Join personally In tho Mltchell"push." Lord was offered tho scnutonsliln two years ago by a combination or totes, but reruscd because Ills party had not declared ror freo coinage, whllo ho leaned In that direction. Party honor forbade his accepting. Now ho Is abused by the party "organ." But the Statesman Is no longer properly to be classed as a party organ. It Is our, disgruntled, out with Its party, for 6ale to any coiner, and unablo any longcr,ti even "hold-up" anybody. Slnco tho dissolution of tho hold-up and tho appointment of Corbett, OovcrsorLord lias boon ablo to pur clmsefetfwunsiou In Salem, States man,' Mfcym To Iinvq such an Item appear In tho imirnliig Republican paper of his own town must convince Governor Lord that nil his partisan loyal I ty to the Bcpubllan party has met with poor reward. He knows however that It cannot hurt him. It Is printed not for home consumption, -but for East crn clipping bureaus, t Injure his unsullied reoutntlon with the Mc KInley administration. Five years before the late attempted Oregon leg liitittirncvermet Judzc Lord loaned iinv. SLrMtt4in &1.0J0 to build a home with. The debt was not paid and in terest accumulated to the amonnt or nearly another thousand. Artcr the moit rrlendly correspondence the mutter was adjusted by Stratton deeding the property overto Governor Lord ror the debt, a sum which it would not have fetched at a forced sale. The Statesman published the recorded transfer and cuncollatiou or the mortgagc.and on topor that prints the baseless Insinuation that Gover nor Lord has bought a "mansion" with the proceeds or the hold-up or the legislature. The class or creatures Mitchell had drawn abuut him and would have rewarded, had he suc ceeded, by appointments of such characters to places In the public ser vice, makes the people or Oregon.lfeel doubly grateful to Governor Lord If la reality he assisted In Mitchell's defeat. If tho state authorities want to employ convict labor why do they not build decent roads from the city to the public Institutions. A road sixty feet wide should be built from the city limits to the reform school six miles long. It should be put up above the winter Hoods. It should be tile drained and eulverted and bridged. It should be gravelled and rolled. It should be planted with ornamental trees, native shrubs that grow wild. Cattle should be kept off such a boulevard, Such a road would take a large force or men a year or two to build. It would take a force of convicts to take care or It. It would be an object lesson to teach good read building to tho people. Twenty miles of such state roads are needed to connect the state Institutions, and they would be n source of satisfaction and economy, to siy nothing of edu cation and civilization, to the people or the whole state. The state roads are a disgrace to our commonwealth, iritis desired to employ convict la bor here Is an opportunity that will confer a great benefit In a good cause tho course or good roads. It would be much better than to have them make bricks ror sale In the open mar ket. These suggestions arc not made In a spirit orj critls-jlsm, but because we believe they aro rounded on practi cal business commonsensc. The city or Salem Is much luneed of a plumbing ordinance There arc good points In tho ono bcroro tho council, and they should be adopted so far as they aro right and then put In rorcc. Sanitary plumbing is Indispenstblc to tho public health, and a new law Is needed. No expensive machinery Is wanted. No complicated legislation is tdcslrable. Tho number or good people who have defective plumbing and unsanitary vaults and cesspools and filthy drains Is very large. A law Is needed to put tho town on a healthy footing and when tho legislature meets again, as It must meet berorc rail, hair tho members will not be down sick. But It caunot bo dono without a clear law on tho sublect that will bo enrorccd. All privy vaults In the city should be subject to luspectlou and strict regulations. Tho Infectious diseases now so pre valent will never bo abated whllo every other lot In tho city has reek lug, filthy, Infected, unvontllatcd and disease-breeding conditions. Theso aro plain truths, but It Is tuoloss to cry out against acts of proyldcnco when tho employment of n plumber ami uso oi oruiuary prvcuubiuua wumu do away wttti nan too uicuiku prac tlce.

At Empire City last Thursday, the jury disagreed in the Russell murder case, standing 8 ror acquittal on the ground or Insanity,' 4 for convictions. It will be remembered that Russell shot his son-in-law down In cold blood at their home on the Coquille river. The only excuse he attempted to make was that the dead man's Popu list ideas of government were danger ous to the country. OBITUARY.
