TO ERADICATE VICE.

The people OF this city have learned
with great interest that the Committee
of One Hundred of the movement foi
the suppression of vice has been com.
pleted and is ready for organization, and
after that for work.
Good things, if not great things, are
hoped for from this committee.
1t has not been hastily formed. II is
the first result of a movement that has
been coolly and deliberately conceived
and carried to its present stage Of devel-
opment. Even the most fervid Of the
promoters of the crusade have con-
stantly and strongly insisted upon ad.
herence to sane methods.
Up to the beginning of the work of
this committee it has been compare
lively smooth sailing. Now comes the
tug and strain of war. Sentiment and
abstract right ought now to give place
TO practical methods of work and the
careful consideration of that which will
lead to actual results. The time for
defamation has passed and the time for
action has arrived.
Nearly every city in the country har-
bors the skeleton Of such movement
as this tnat died because its promoters
refused to be guided by principles that
underlie all success. 1t is wholly use
less to hurl anathemas at vice of the
sort to be combatted. II is to be hoped
that the Committee of One Hundred
understand this. If it does not, and
does not formulate its work accordingly.
it had far better disband at once.
The laws contemplate the accom-
plishment of exactly what this CON-
mittee is charged with-the reduction
of vice to the lowest possible factor.
The laws may not be sufficient. 1t is
alleged that they are not. If this
is found to be true, it will be the first
duty of the committee to attempt their
or revision before vast
ing its vitality in futile attempts to pro-
duce results with inadequate methods.
II action under the present laws is de-
c:ded upon the first step should be a
conference with the police officials and
the adoption of basis for mutual ac-
tion. We do not guarantee that this is
possible, but 1t ought to be tried. The
police officials should be given ample
to cooperate, and IL they
neglect to do so there will be ample
time for the adoption of more warlike
Up to the present time the movement
to suppress vice deserves the confidence
and aid of the public. If it continues
to deserve that confidence il can accom-.
plish good that cannot be reckoned.

Terrible are the consequences attending

out by the avenging hand Is horrible to
contemplate. All this Is brought out In
the version Of "Therese." and the idea of
the author Is closely followed.
friend for the purpose of painting his
portraito becomes infatuated with his
patrons wife. who in turn reciprooates
his love. They become conscious only
OF each Others presence. Eventually the
picture is finished. and then on the even
Jug when 1t is to be exhibited, plan is
formulated by the guilty pair to remove
the husband from the path, and then, he
artists way being clear, both he and bis
friends wife can enjoy their guilty love
unmolested.
The friend Is disposed of by pushing
him into the river and then the terrib Q
consequences OF their crime bursts upon
the guilty pair and their troubles begin.
Eventually they are united in marriage
but ever before them rises the spectre OF
the murdered friend. On their wedding
night the ghost OF the murdered man
haunts them and during one Of their
spells Of fright fatal admission is made,
which Is heard by the murdered mans
mother, who is struck with pal alysis Ihnd
cannot speak or move.
At last driven almost to desperation BY
the continual tauntings Of his wife the
artist attempts to poison her, but turns
just in time to see her stealing towards
him with an uplifted knife. Both realize
instantly the extent of their degradation
and the sudden recovery Of the mother,
who proclains their guilt, only com.
pletes their downfall. At last, driven to
the verge OF despair, both commit suicide
and the falling Of the curtain shuts out
the fitting end of the guilty.

cesses.

would be found to be unjust and prob
ably illegal. Ir this particular case,
too, the advocates of the income tax
have rather a poor illustration. They
are fond of citing the income tax Of
England as model. But the income
tax and the tax laws in general Of Great
Britain exempt from taxation all forms
of stocks, bonds, deposits in savings
banks. money In hand, household furni.
ture, and tax mainly incomes'from rent
ais. Under those laws Jay Gould's
property would have been exempt. The
two countries are by no means similar
and laws applicable in one would not
apply in the other. England without
her income tax could not raise enough
revenue to carry on the government.
Our revenue is ample.
But the fundamental defect in such
theories is that they are aimed at a
special class, seeking to tax only the few
for the benefit of the many. Any such
system as that would be contrary to
American ideas of equality. There can
be no income tax on certain ones unless
all others are proportionately included
in the same class. Fortunately,
we have no need of any such laws
and there is no present indication that
we are likely to be threatened by them.

it is soon evident that the dragging be-

The all absorbing question that
takes up the minds Of our people at
this time is, Viii! the o. p. sell at
Corvallis tomorrow? On this ques.
tion there are as many divergipg
opinions as ever there were OH the
tariff or financial questions. Many
of our people whom we may class
as pessimists dolefully declare that
''she won't sell, it's all a put up
job," ETC., while the optimists jubi-
lantly declare that she's going to
go, and the Blairs, or the Hoggs,
or the S. p, or the G. & N. W.,
or the c. b. & O., or the gracious
only knows what, are going to buy
it, and build over the mountains, q"
into eastern Oregon, and that the
glorious SUNSHINE Of universal pros

evidently has kept a stiff backbone

The Mulcahy Internal Machine.

1t will be remembered that quite
a furore was raised some time ago
by the receipt at the general super
intendents Office of the o. P. road
of box which bore all the ear
marks, dew-lap slits, hip and
shoulder brands and other marks
and evidences of being a genuine
internal machine. No one at that
time had the nerve to open it and
so it was quietly sequestered on
the roof of the building until future
Developments should occur. Word
reaches us from Corvallis that these
Developments have occurred. The
mystery is solved and the employees
Of the head Office do not go around
on tip toe for fear of exploding the
I fearful thing on the roof as it is
perfectly harmless.

Gently held the same position, con,
ceived the idea that it would be q

Mulcahy and give him good scare,
so Mr.. Stuart, who is now at Che.
halls, Washington, and is railroad
and express agent at that place.
forwarded the box and waited for
the Joke to materialize. 1t ma.

it was found where the box came
