WIFE BEATERs.

A bill has been introduced In ths
state legislature providing the whip
ping post for wife -beaters. II wa,
recommended in Governor Chamber
lain's message, and when read by him
at the joint convention ELECTED ap-
plause. That the bill will pass and be-
come law admits of no doubt As
10 the merits of the measure there may
be some difference of opinion. The
whipping post has become obsolete
but 1t was very effective when it was
in vogue. 1t is to be regretted that
extreme measures have to be often re-
sorted to to cure the ills of society
but this seems to be bill that is need
ed in the state of Oregon. Governor
Chamberlain was at one time prose-
cutting attorney Of Multnomah county.
He knows that many complaints have
been made to him by wives of brute
husbands who have been beaten by a
class of men who have no respect for
their wives or society.
Any man VINO will strike a woman Is
a brute. There Is no punishment on
the statute books of Oregon for this
class of criminals. Complaints have
been made by wives against their
husbands for assault and battery. and
in many cases when the case has come
on for trial, these same wives appeal
to the judge not to prosecute their
husbands, and the cases are dropped,
only to be repeated again. Women
suffer the tortures Of the damned on
account of their children. 1t is not only
for the protection of these women, but
of society that such law becomes
.....-....
Teh law is very stringent. 1t provides
that when a man beats his wife he
shall be arrested and shall receive 40
asnes on his bare back. or be impris-
1ned in the penitentiary. One dose of
his kind of legal medicine will prob |
lbly be sufficient for the most brutal
husband, and If it will break up the
practice of wife-beating the sooner it |
s enacted into law the better for the |
state. Some men claim that a wife
should be treated the same as a dog. |
That they must be whipped occasional
y so as to know their places. 1t is
mis- class of reprobates who the law is
Intended to reach, and If 1t is carried
nut in its full measure 1t will be ef-
icacious and give the wives Of these
men some rights that their husbands
re bound to respect. II a man can
lot live happily with his wife; she
yhom he has sworn to honor and love,
vho mas shared his sorrows and min
stored to his wants, the mother Of his
hildren for whom she has denied her
1T pleasures and even the necssaries
t life, without cruelty beating her,
hen ne should leave her, provide for
er support, or suffer the extreme PEN
lty Of the iaw-the whipping post.

FRIEND OF ASTORIA.


There seems to be an apparent in.
difference among the people Of Asto-
ria, especially noticeable among the
property owners. Astoria mas had bet
ter opportunities than any other city
In Oregon. Had 1t accepted induce
n1ents held out to it by men anxious
to invest, and not attempt by deceit
to stifle improvements there would
have been another large saw mill and
hotel here. Mr.. Hammond was a true
friend to Astoria and is today, but
he has been prevented from showing
that friendship. The property owners
of Astoria never appreciated Mr.. Ham
mond nor the efforts he was making
to increase the commercial interests of
the city. There was time when Mr.
Hammond wanted to build saw mill
at Astoria. He selected a site at
Tongue Point and was ready and will
ing to put in over a million dol
lars in the enterprise. The property
owners Immediately raised the price
of their lands out of all proportion, be-
lieving that Mr.. Hammond was com
PEELED to build mill on that particu-
lar piece Of property. But he wasn't
and he didn't. Instead of Astoria Sc
curing large modern saw mill, Mr..
Hammond went to Eureka and invested
nearly five million dollars and has
one Of the finest plants in the state of
California. The people of Eureka were
his friends and they treated him ac-
cordingly. The result is that property
of all kinds advanced so per cent at
Eureka, employment is given to 1900
men; the city has doubled in popula-
tion and wealth and has a pay roll
that is an important factor in build
ing up that city. 1t is entirely different
in Astoria BY resorting to tactics of
intimidation. the property owners drove |
Mr.. Hammond away; they still own
their mill site and are paying taxes on
duces no revenue and never will.
Notwithstanding this Mr.. Hammond
is still friendly to Astoria and no doubt
stands willing to assist in any improve
ments. When it is considered that AS
toria is made the base of supplies for
the Astoria & Columbia river railroad:
that 1t employs large number of men
and distributes over s50,000 every
month in Astoria; that efforts have
been made by Portland to induce MIN
to move his Offices to that city, which
he has refused to do, no better evidence
is needed Of his friendship for this
city. The trouble is the people do not
and never have appreciated Mr.. Ham
mond. He is an honest, conscientious,
strictly business man, and will not
stand for any jobbery. That efforts
have been made to job MIN in Astoria
by some of the large property owners
admits of no doubt, and as long as this
feeling is manifest it is not expected
that he will be as willing to lend his
assistance and influence for the better -,
ment of the city.
Had the people of Astoria treated Mr..
Hammond with the consideration that
he was entitled to, not only would there
have been large saw mill built, CIV I
ing employment to 900 to 1000
men, but a now MOTEL would have
been built and the future prosperity of {
Astoria would have been insured. 1t is !
impossible to build hotel without Mr. {
Hammond's assistance. 1t is irnpos-

The Benefit Of Fairy Tales.

Howard Pyle In Book News.
1t is very reasc nable to argue that
no human fancy could lest as fairy
tales have lasted through no one
knows how many hundreds and
thousands of years Unless it was very
good. For that which is not good
and not sound must surley die, and
only that which is good and sound
shall last through the grinding OF
the ages.
So | believe that parents should fll
their children's imsginations full OF
fairy tales il they would make those
imaginations strong and healthy.
As for that man or woman who has
not these bright and joyous things
OF fancy flying like golden bees
through the dim recesses oihis mem.
DRY, can only say that l think his
or her parents must have been neg.
lectiul OF the earlier training Of their
child, and that am sorry for that
poor soul who has lost so much pleas
ure out of its life.
