WEATHER REPORTS.

Time was when the only means Of
knowing what the weather was going
to be "a hours ahead was by consulting
the almanac. Since the establishment
of the government weather bureau al
manacs are not so much in demand,
but the unreliability Of the weather
service has again made demands for
almanacs. Last week the weather
bureau guessed the weather right just
once, and then they guessed 1t would
rain. In order to obviate the difficult
les of having the weather made to or
der by the weather bureau, the Asto-
rian desires to be as correct as human
ingenuity can make all items of news
and statements, it makes a weather
prediction this morning and guarantees
it's reliability. Either rain, snow or fair
with varying winds, is a prediction that
we are prepared to back up with a
monetary substance. II is much more
reliable than the weather report, which
only has the government back Of it.,
while the Astorian report has the en-
tire editorial and reportorial force back
Of 1t.

GUILTY OF MURDER.

According to the dispatches Oscar
F. Whealdon of Paragon, Ind, aged II
years. student at the Bingham COL
lege, committed suicide on account Of
|indignaties Of hazing. The practice Of
hazing is only characteristic OF brutes
and toughs whose parents have sent
their sons to college to keep them out
Of the penitentiaries. Hazing is one
OF the most barbarous customs extant
Personal indignities are inflicted on
young men that would be a crime out
side of colleges. They are acquiesced
in by college professors, and made a
part Of the curriculum OF these insti-
tutions Of learning. There are only
two countries where Spanish bull fights
are permitted on account of the great
brutality. There are only a few states
where prize fighting is permitted, and
in many Of them it is INDUCED in con-
trary to law. Cruel and inhuman pun

punishment of criminals. Burning at
the stake and rending the body as
sunder are relics of the barbarous ages,
but the most cruel practices, more so
than Spanish bull fights. prize fight
ing, ,barbaric punishment Of criminals is
the hazing of young men by the brute
members of colleges.
The members Of Bingham college,
who inflicted the tortures of hazing
on young Whitaker, causing him toI
commit suicide on account of the per-
sonal indignities suffered, are guilty
Of murder, and everyone should be
guillotined. They should be taken out
out on the campus grounds and put
through the same excrutiating torture |
until life is extinct. This may have a
tendency to stop the brutal practice,
and is the only efficacious remedy that
can be devised.

house has passed Il series of resolu-
tions' denying the allegations made by
ex-Governor Mcconnell. who testified
before the Smoot investigating COM
mittee that the Idaho legislature was
composed Of poker players. and knew
nothing about polygamy. After the
resolutions were adopted by the house
they were transmitted to the senate
and that body laid them on the table
as 1t was not quite satisfied, but what
some of the members were profession
ais at the great American game. II Is
very probable that Governor Mccon-
mel referred to the legislature when he
was governor of that state. and not to
the present Legislature, the ex-gover-
'nor's we'll known poker proclivities are
matters OF history both in Oregon
and Idaho. Even when he was gov
ernor of Idaho, he always had some
thing up his sleeve, and not infrequent-
ly good poker hand.
The Idaho legislature acted In too
great haste in passing the resolutions
denying the allegations and defying the
alligator. They should have inquired
among its members first to ascertain
now many devotees of the game were
in both houses. There has never been
a session of any legislature in any
state, where the great American game
is not participated in by few, at least,
if not all OF the members. The denial
states that the resolutions are re
gardless of political beliefs or religious
creed" AS rule poker playing is
not embodied in the religious creed of
any denomination, although instances
are on record, where eminent divines

PRIVATE CAR MoNoPoLIEs.


In aiming to correct what are known
as the private arar monopolies.. tae
members Of the house COMMITTEES on
interstate and foreign commerce are
taking step that should be hailed with
delight by the railroads ami particu-
larry by the shippers of perishabls
freights.
The bill fathered by Mr.. Stevens OF
Minnesota reaches the house with the
assured support of the important COM
mittee Of which he is member. The
investigations held by that committee
and the reports of the interstate COM
merce commission have laid bare the
highly interesting fact that the own
ers Of these private freight cars--re-
frigerator cars and otners-have been
able to build up monopoly which en-
ables them to dictate not only to ship
pers, but to force concessions from
the railroads amounting to large re-
bates; that in some cases, as in that
of the beef trust people, they mad
gone into other lines of business, the
attempt of tine beef people to corner
all poultry during the progress Of the
beef strike last year being cited as
case in point; that they have been
in the habit of charging most exorb-
itant rates for icing and refrigeration,
and that they have been carrying
things with high hand generally.
It is proposed to put an end to these
methods by extending the interstate
commerce law and the powers Of the
interstate commerce commission over
these private freight car Tines" and
all owners of private freight cars, ap-
plying to them the same methods of
publicity and the same penalties for
discrimination that now apply to rail-
roads themselves. The refrigeration
and other treatment of property car
ried by these cars is to be made part
of the obligation of the common car
riers and a part Of the contract for
Transportation. The rates must be
fair and there must be no discrimina-
ton whatsoever between shippers US
ing these cars, and no discrimination
on the part of the railroad companies
against those using other cars.
There can be no question of the ne
cessity Of regulating this evil OF pri-
vate car monopoly. Southern fruit
growers have, at times, been given
practical illustration of utterly in
furious effects of the present system
of operating these private freight cars.
While rates may be better at some
times than at others, the possibility
of the private car monopolists crush
ing out a great industry is ever pres
ent.
Certain il nothing else is done,
these private freight car lines should
be put under the supervision and con-
troll of the interstate commerce COM
mission. Whatever difference of opin-
ion there may be over other proposed
steps toward cutting the general
freight rateE .eyils.-, there should, 1t
seems to us, be no difference over this
question Of the regulation Of the private
freight cars.
