Gorgeous Baby Act" Cap
tiOn of Editorial in
Tacoma Ledger on Refusal to
Pay Mrs. WaggOner

Under the heading "Oregon's Baby
Act" the Tacoma Ledger has an edi
tolial on the action of Secretary o.
State Dunbar in refusing to- allow the
claim of Mrs. Mary Waggoner, o.
Chehalis. wn, "for the capture ant
return" of David Merrill as stated IL
the claim as filed against the state
The editorial is as follows:
It had been hoped that the tale o
Tracy and Merrill would be permitted
to escape the popular mind, but cir
cumstances continue to recall It. Now
II is the state of Oregon refusing &c
pay the reward offered for the capture
Of the desperadoes 1t happened that
a poor woman came upon the body OF
Merrill The spirit of the offer of re-
ward had been that payment should be
made for this body, dead or alive. II
is true that there may have been a
thought on the part of the authorities
that the reward would of necessity 20
to somebody actively engaged in the
hunt. but this was not set forth. The
body of Merrill was badly wanted.
If delivered alive there would have
been the expense of trial, and the
chance to the last of another escape.
Dead, the body could do no harm, and
the finding of it was a valuable assur-
ance as to the fate of the outlaw 1t
brought a sense of security. Had the
body not been discovered there would
have been disquieting belief that he
had escaped. Officers would have
been misled by false clues. For these
reasons the absolute assurance that
death had occurred was valuable, and
the haggling over the payment of the
reward was undignifed and unjust.

small.
The Fart of Oregon in this entire
matter has been nothing to excite ad-
miration. In the first place there was
no excuse for the escape. Next, there
was no excuse for the neglect to at
tempt capture until so much time had
elapsed that the work had to be un-
dertaken by the people of another
state. The least that Oregon could
have done. with credit to itself, would
have been to foot part of the expen-
ses. Morally il is indebted to many of
the counties OF Washington. IL might
have wiped out part of the stain by
promptly paying the claim of the wo-
man who had earned the reward
through compliance with the terms of
the proclamation. Even If there exist
ed opportunity for entering a techni-
cal objection, to have refrained from
objectlng would have been the manly
course and would have received gen
eral approval A state in the pose OF

the largest we ever carried, and Of the
highest grade. While we intend TO
make a speciality of the higher grade
of clothing. at the same time we will

II Is not all In yet, we have en- route
from New York a very large lot of
the latest styles, 50 that we expect to
be headquarters for late style hats. II
would be impossible in this short
space to give a detailed description Of
all the different lines 10 be found In
our stock, but remember this, that ey'
cry line usually carried in a clothing
and gents furnishing store is In our
