The advantages to accrue from the
adoption of such course are threefold: !:
First, it places the one board in touch

course of studies and classes for all,
SO that students might leave class in

third, it would tend to elevate the nor
NAL schools to the purpose of their
creation, namely, the training of tea

ually eliminate preparatory and other
work which is with more propriety

A MOB'S EXCUSE

The lynching of man who had kill
ed his wife and young stepson. in Iowa,
was unjustifiable. of course, but the
mob gave an excuse for it that will
find an approving echo in the minds
OF millions of Americans-that the
sure and speedy legal punishment of
the undisputed murder could not be de !.
pended upon. 1t appears that his guilt
was clear, at least in the minds of the
porulace, but he was worth $4,000,
and they foresaw long, wearisome
series OF technical movements In the
courts to defeat the laws penalty;
they saw an interminable succession of
motions, and appeals. and arguments,
aud judicial tarcicality; they had
lately witnessed all this in a similar
case; and SO, since they could not de-
pend on the machinery of the law to
carry out the provisions of the law,
they said they would do it themselves
and make short. sure job of it. So
the man got what the law intended he
should get, and his heirs instead of the
lawyers--perhaps-wi will get his money.
1t was bad act, but it must be ad-
mitted that the provocation in any
such case is great. Courts and criminal
lawyers are in many cases responsible
for the activity of Judge Lynch. Port

The Atlanta Journal rises up in its
wrath and says: 1T is avarice which
is killing and wounding the scores and
hundreds of passengers, freezing aud
starving the citizens of the northwest,
threatening the whole commercial and
industrial system of the country with
a collapse. 1t is avarice which is
pounding the transportation systems of

trying to grab, today, the legitimate
earnings of the future. And if they
can't do it without wrecking the sys.
tenn of today, they are willing to do it
anyhow, and let the system go to ruin.
In other words, the profits that should
be put into more mileage, that should
DO put into better equipment into

zens are turned over to the custody of
the authorities for their detention,
care and possible cure. The recruits
for this unhappy little army come
from every county in the state. The
labor and expense for their conveyance
to our single Insane Asylum at Salem
are not light, though the cost is much
less than it formerly was, when it
constituted very important item in
what was known as the Sheriff g
graft. The effort to introduce in
Oregon a humane and economical
system OF transporting insane persons
to Salem met for years with organized
resistance from all, or most of the
sheriffs of Oregon. They were finally
defeated two years ago. with results
that fulfilled every promise made by
the advocates of the new method.
Insane men and women on their way to
Salem are now cared for tenderly by
experienced guards, male and female.
The average cost per capita for the
year ending July /, 1906, was $1S.O5,
while the average cost per capita for
the transportation of convicts to the
penitentiary for the two years prior to
December 80, 1906, was 1851.
Conveyance of convicts is under the
old method. The present convict ex-
pense is about the same as it used to
be for the conveyance of insane. The
figures supply an answered. argument
in support of Governor Chamberlain
recommendation that the law should
be SO amended as to require conyicts
to be conveyed to prison by officers of
the penltentiary. There are, perhaps,
no reasons of humanity, or even of
public security, that makes one sys-
tenn preferable to the other. There
are reasons of economy. The Legisla-
ture should heed them. .--Oregonian.
