HoNoRED LIVING HEROES.
On the Morning of Decoration Day-At
Philomath College.


On the morning of Decoration
day. the faculty and students of
Philomath College conceived the
unique idea of breaking a cruise of
spikenard on the heads of our liv-
ing heroes while so many would be
decorating the graves and embalm-
ing the names of our loved and
honored dead.
A program was hastily extempor-
lied, posts were dispatched to the
veterans of the city. Messrs Archi-
bald, Boies, Henkle, Hummer.
Jackson, Lewis, Canady, Seton,
Sneak, Dexter. and Sneak. and
summoned to the college campus.
The veterans were seated on
chairs on the veranda of the col
lege. A concourse of citizens
thronged the campus, The bat
talon of cadets commanded by
Lieutenant Stillwell of the second
Oregon, paraded the campus and
executed with skill and precision
many graceful military evolutions
eliminating with present arms"
to the veterans. The ladies, al
ways conspicuous. in every bene-
fcent seance, appeared upon the
stage, and wreathed' each veteran
with garlands Of roses and ivy.
President limerick then addressed
the heroes paying them the high
est tribute Of honor. The battal.
ion then fred a salute of three vol.
leys. Capt Lewis. being too feeble
to attend, it was decided to march
to the residence of the veteran of
the Mexican andsI civil wars and
honor him in his home. Comrade
Boles OH his tricycle., headed the
procession, followed by the veter-
ans in command OF Prof. White.
then came the cadets and a mass of
citizens. Captain Lewis was
crowned, the salute was fired and
the white-haired was moved to tears
with the demonstrations of honor
and the eloquent and touching ad-
dress of Pres. limerick.
The veterans, cadets and citizens
marched back through the streets
of the city to the college campus
where Lieutenant Stilwell, the hero
of Manila, was honored with a
wreath, and chip hip hurrah.

of honoring living heroes.

The past week has brought moro
encouraging results in the business
world, and from many points come re-
ports of steadily expanding trade,
while it is not exceptional to find com.
parsons with the corresponding week
last year favorable to 1904 Retail
trade in Fall lines of dry goods, cloth
ing, millinery and nearly all wearing
apparel shows a healthy growth, and
for hardware, household utensils and
kindred lines there is a broader de-
mand.
The best development of the week
was the resumption of work in many
industries that have suffered through
strikes, while several serious contro'
versies were averted. Crop progress
Is better that average, and high prices
promise large profits to the farmers
Railway freight is heavy, chiefly due
to the marketing of grain and cotton
and earnings in August were 2.8 per
cent. larger than in 1905.
Conservatism is still the prominent
characteristic of the primary market

Speaking of lawyers reminds me o.
an unfair advantage which these inter
esting and useful members are oftel
inclined to take of a. defendant at the
bar" said an observant man, "and the
practice is one which should be discon
tinued. Where or how it started !,
do not know, nor do know the eXten'
of the practice at this time. only
know it is the practice in some of TIT
States, and it is one which should b'
stopped by the courts. ] was reading
to-day the trial proceedings of cast
in Tennessee where a young man was
on trial for his life. and noticed thu
same old advantage was taken of the
man on trial by the prosecuting attor
ney. The question was asked: Were
YOU not indicted and arrested for bur
glary and highway robbery? The mar
had never been indicted or arrested
for either of these offenses, and there
was no such record against him II
the county where he was being. tried
or in any other. county or place. Tit
manifest purpose Of questions Of this
sort is to prejudice the jurors against
the defendant. 1t is unfair, and un
sound in law. l have heard prose
cutting attorneys ask negro defendants
questions of this character: How
long have you been out of Jail!
Weren't you convicted in this court OF
larceny Didn't you serve six months
in the workhouse for stealing chick
ens% what were you sent to the peni
tertiary for the last time? And sc
on, when, as 4 matter Of fact, nothing
of the kind had ever happened to the
poor devil of defendant. Questions
of this sort brighten defendant, and
cause him to act II way to rouse the
suspicion of the jury, and the jury
you know. has right to weigh anc
consider the manner of the witness,
while testifyilG. Besides, the mere fac
of asking questions of this sort is cal
culated u prejudice the jurors minds
in one way or another. 1t may result
in a prejudice against Inc defendant.
Or some juror might take the view
that the State was taking an unfair
advantage, and the States rights might
be prejudiced. The practice is wrong
in principle. against the policy of the
law, and should rot be tolerated.
