THE exact status of Michigan's direct
election legislation will soon be deter
mined. II seems TO b. already evident
that while the extremists OH neither side
of the primary election controversy will
have their desires fulfilled, opportunity
will certainly be given in Michigan for
the application at once OF far-reaching
direct election privileges. 1t is not often
in the history OF affairs that regret Is ever
occasioned by the too conservative nitro
duction of changes in matters so import
ant AS those TO be affected through the
changes coming in our nominating laws.
1t is well. however that they should be
sufficient to give fair and full applica-
ton to all phases of the advantages they
are believed to possess, but something Is
also due to the desire that they shall not
include more than will serve as such an
illustration until something has been de
termined through further observation and
experience in direct and practical way.

THE mails are loaded with circulars
from mail order houses calculated to
prejudice the people against home mer-
chants. when everyone knows they are

constantly doing something for the adj

dcavoring more and more to encroach
upon the field OF the country merchants.
When one sees some of the miserable

Died Saturday.

Word reached Corvallis few
days ago of the death of Mrs.
Sets at the home OF her daugh-
ter, Mrs. J. w. Howard, near
Prineville. Mrs. Howard has
resided in this city during he
past FIVE years on account of the
advantages offered for schooling
the children, although each sum-
ner they would return to their
Crook county home.
On the first of this month Mr..
and Mrs. Howard followed their
usual custom and crossed the
mountains to Crook county. Mrs.
Ssiis accompanied them. Short
ly afterward she was stricken
with pensisv, later, according TO
report, blood poisoning SET III and
she expired last Saturday. Her
illness was brief, but she suffered
intensely.
Mrs. Sets was widow ano is
survived by two daughter, Mrs.
| 7. w. Howard and Mrs. Smith.
The home of the latter is in
Prinevllle. The deceased lady
made her nome with her daugh-
tsrs, residing for a riod with
each in turn. No news came te
this city as 10 when or where ia.
terment was to be made. Mrs
Sets during her residence in this
city made many sincere friends
who will be grieved to hear O
her sudden death.

AS Reported Abroad.

In TUESDAYS Telegram appears
a dispatch from this city bearing
on the Greffoz case. So far as
we are informed, the report to
the Telegram seems about cor
rect. 1t is as follows:
The auditing committee of
the City Concil has about COM
pleted the work OF exporting the
books of Police Judge Grefoz,
who lett Corvallis several weeks S
ago and whose present where
abouts is unknoWn, The short
age SO far ascertained will amount

be made good bv his relatives.
All the deficit SO far found has
been in collections made on sew
er assessments >rnany Of which
were Withheld hv Judge Gref; z
and not turned over - the City
Treasurer.
Owing to the peculiar condi-
tons under which these. assess
ments were levied and collected,
it is doubtful if Mr.. Greffoz' s
bondsmen are liable for the short
age, or even if he is criminally
liable. For some years past il
has been the custom for the City
Council to pay the contractor for
the construction of the lateral
sewers, and then collect from the
property-owners along the line ol
the sewers pro rata assessment,
all of which is contrary to chart.
er authority and consequently il.
legal. Mr.. Grefoz had no au.

such money in his official ca
pacity and he does not deny hav.
ing received it as a private cit1
zen. He and his relatives stane
willing to make good the short
age so far as they are able, and i
is doubtful if any charges will b,
preferred against him.
Mr.. Grefoz has always beer

Net long ago, James L. Lewis,

dealers, attempted to sell we'll

hens. When James is in earnest
he is eloquent. On this occasion

question could easily lay ten
dozens eggs a day.
The old gentleman did not buy
the hens on the spot, but went
home to think the matter over.
After pondering the question, the
old gentleman decided that 100
hens that could lay ten dozen, or
I2o eggs, per day were no ordi-
nary hens by any means.

" came to Bob Johnson's ears.

rs II WORTH WHME2

Recent disasters would indicate
that the submarine boat is a
doubtful quantity. They are haz-
ardous to the crews and whether
of any efficient service is still an
open question. There has always
been a desire to build and en-
ploy them and probably there al
ways will be this desire. There
will always be found men to man
them and take chances on drown
ing like a rat in a hole.
The submarine boat is almost
as, much a matter of speculation
as is the airship. Without your
wings are abnormally developed
it is wiser that you shun voyage
m the latter. Just SO with the
submarine when you are assur-
ed that you passes both lungs
and gills you can safely give one
trial. Only recently one of
these boats went down and de
spite heroic efforts the crew
perished.

CHARITY AND CONSISTENCY.

IdAhI1 AND CON - IENCI.
Don't kick man when he's
down. y is an old saying and if
humanity lived up to what this
hornely old saw teaches the
world would be the better for it. |
The trouble is we do not. We
are charitable while dealing with
our friends, or when it is policy
for US to be charitable. Charity
that springs from policy is damn
sable.
At present there is in this city
a case in point-two cases, in
fact, that furnish a parallel for
the assertions Of the above para
graph. E. P. Greffoz was our
friend, and had been for years,
but it is nevertheless a fact that
he was guilty of appropriating to
his own use, while in Office, money
that was not his. For this we
are very sorry; sorry that his
needs were so pressing as to
tempt him to wrong doing; sorry,
indeed, that our friend should
have such dire trouble; doubly
grieved that one so universally
trusted should forfeit the con-
fidence of all. That he is to be
pitied there are none to gainsay.
Beyond doubt his mental suffer-
ing was great while wrestling
with the temptation. All the
pity he has received since his
sudden departure he has undoubt-
edly earned many times over.
Much, in fact, the major part of
this pity is sincere, but one may
not look long to find evidences of
: pity for policy's sake.
We pride ourselves on being
a humane, a just people. Are
We always so? When policy
does not figure we are mayhap.
When policy enters into'the mat
ter justice in it's strictest form is
a matter of well, doubt. Take,
for example, the cases of E. P.
Greffoz and Jacob Blumberg-
bear in mind that we are judging
neither, as we are not their
keeper, but are going to point
cot some inconsistencies and the
matter of charity from policy.
The offense of the former was
far in excess of that Of the lat
ter.
Yet, we hear (and it is all
right pity for Mr.. Greffoz, but
In certain quarters we find those
who pity Mr.. Grefoz, bounding
Mr.. Blumberg. Is this charity !
Is this justice in its fullest sense
Mr. Blumberg may have done
wrong, perhaps he did, but we
hear no one plying him in his
ofense. On the other hand, we
find some who profess pity fol-
Mr.. Greffoz, after Mr.. Blumberg
unrelentingly and drawing all
possible attention to his ofense
While we pity both in their Of
fenses, we condone neither. Just
zee requires that all be treated
alike according to their ofense,
and pity for policy's sake, fore
sworn.
