OREGON IS BEING WELL ADVERTISED.
No one can Bay that the state of Oregon Is not being well ad
vertinod by some of its public men. ,
Senator Bourne has had pnges and pages of the metropolitan
press devoted to hia exposition of the Oregon system.
In the Banie way Governor West and his prison policy is be
coming known from one end cf the world to the other.
Governor West has the taicn t for publicity on a large scale,
and to that extent he la certainly to be numbered among the live
ones.
We copy below the leading editorial from the Chicago Ameri
can of a very recent date, headed, "Stop Official Murder."
A second headline says: "That is a very fine proposition and
Oregon will place herself in the front rank of civilization."
We cannot agree with all that Governor West does, and he
will not agre with all The Capital Journal says, but here is the
editorial:
The great number of Americans that had the pleasure of meet
ing Governor West, of Oregon, during his recent trjp throughout
the country with the other governors of the Northwest were im
pressed by him as a man modern in thought, kind in heart and
sharing in truly advanced good ideas.
Of those that met him not one will be surprised to learn that
he has taken a firm stand against that form of murder, imper
sonal and general, but murder none the less, which is called cap
ital punishment.
The state of Oregon, setting an excellent example to the rest of
the country, will vote this year upon the abolition of capital pun
ishment. And Governor West, exoressing the best sentiment of the best
men in his state, acts without delay, and announces that exer
cising his power as governor he will permit no official killings
between this date and next December, when the people will
have decided the question by their ballots.
It Is unfortunate that there should be any man bitter, revenge
ful and primitive and savage enough to believe that the murder
by the government of men that have committed murder can be
called now necessary, useful or excusable.
The state that doea not wish its citizens to commit murder In
anger for revenge or on any pretext must not itself be guilty on
any pretext of committing an official murder.
Capital punishment la brutal, degrading; it encourages mur
der, and does not discourage it.
It was the rule in England only a little more than a hundred
years ago to hang a human being guilty of stealing an article
worth a few shillings.
And in one pathetic case a kind-hearted man committed per
jury and swore that the property stolen from him was worth
less than the sum that involved capital punishment, in order to
save a mere boy from death
There is no capital punishment In Switzerland under any cir
cumstances, i
And in America, in propmtior to the population, we ha.i 1
least ten times as many murders as they have In Switzerland,
where there la no gullotlne, no electric chair and no hangman'8
noose.
1 A mother's. kindness teaches children to be kind.
Government decency and kindness will set a higher standard,
even among the lowwtt.
Capital punishment should be abolished.
Oregon and Governor We-t are to be congratulated.
o-
The public school gardening movement is all right, but the
moment it gets under way there will be state and county and lo
cal officials and expenditures hitched onto the program. It will
be made an excuse to add more school taxes. Now school taxes
for school houses and grounds and actual teaching of our chil
dren in the common branches and Industrial education the peo
ple can etand, but tho multiplication of officialism must stop
some time, unless the producer ia to be made a mere pack horse
for a profasslojtal dim who work every department and wavo
the flag of education to get soft snaps. Our affal-s have come to
the point where the most attractive gift horse must be examined
as to his teeth before ha is quartered at tho public crib.
BUSINESS IN SCHOOL AFFAIRS.
There Is so much popular sentiment In favor of education thnt
It is almost impossible to get reasonable business consideration
of iH'onomli'ft connected therewith.
The school boards In districts like Salem and Portland, com
posed of five members, each holding for five years, get entirely
beyond the control of the people.
A majority of three men with gi-neraljy ono acting for the
three, ran do business in defiance of tho electors, and escape all
responsibility far the five yiur term.
For instance, at the annual meeting- in Portland it was shown
the school board whs paying $SOO0 per room for constructing
iwentv-ttxim tmililiniM. SltiO.OOO.
That price hns prevailed for the buildings erected and does
not include the lot or equipment, furnaces, ventilation or plumb
ing, which cot fifty per ;ent more.
It shows thnt responsible contractors were ready to erect
these same buildings at I'HH) to $5000 per room, and many have
Loon built for $3000 per room.
As in Salem, the Portland Board held back Us annual financial
rtatement from publicity, and a motion had to be forced through
as at Salem, demanding publicity.

BUSINESS
MEII'S LEAGUE
WIDE AWAKE
With the view of protecting mer
chants from what is termed "fake
advertising," and also advertising
from which the merchant receives no
benefit, tho Business Men's league at
Its meeting last weeing passed an
amendment to Its by-laws providing
that before a member of the league
shall purch i any advertising, that
the seller or solicitor must show a
certificate from th' board of directors.
The amendment caused considera
ble discussion. Some seemed to
gain the impression that under its
terms the merchant was really not
permitted to exercise any discretion
in the matter of advertising. The
amendment, however, was finally ex
plained as being a rule behind which
a merchant might dodge when ad
vertising solicitors whose good will
he did not desire to lose, approached
him for advertising, which would not
benefit him.
To Hold Lunches.
A subject which came up for a lot
of discussion was the Increase of the
membership of the league; add to
arouse interest among the members
and bring about more effective work
In every way, it was decided that the
league should hold a lunch at noon
each Monday at the grill of the Ho
tel Marlon. In this manner the mem
bers will be able to get together, and
discuss matters pertaining to the
league each week. The slogan of the
league Is "one hundred strong next
year," and every speaker last even
ing expressed himself that the
league would be all of that

X-RAYS AND SMILES.
Cold storage, hailed as a boon, was
soon turned by the smooth manipu
lators Into a weapon with which to
hold up the public.
Senator Cummins Is not saying
much but he has the faculty of get
ting whatever ho goes after. La
Folletta may rake the chestnuts out
far enough for the Iowa man to pick
them up.
Did it ever strike you that for
thousands of yoars humanity has
been making laws and getting no
results T With millions of laws enact'
ed by the legislatures, congress, the
law-making bodies of the world are
all busy making more laws, and
mostly to compel men simply to obey
the Golden Rule.
Anyway tho "occupation" tax will
not be extended to the cemeteries.
The council gut nothing on the
mayor anyhow, fur he beat them to
it with the statement that a $900 li
cense was not too Ugh.

certain businesses are called upon to
pay off the city's debts, tho same
