4 MONUMENTAL ASS,

The pitiiul hircling who pretends
to report the proceedings OF the
HAYWOOD Trial for the Portland
Journal should bc backed up against
a barn door aud nailed there until
his tongue hung out like a side OF
sole leather To the credit OF the
Oregonian and Telegram let !, he
said that they gave excellent rc-
ports ot Mr.. Darrow's 5 speech, But
that oi the Journal Was simply a
one sided and vicious attack ON
Haywood lawyer, worthy only of
the Molly Mcguire who penned il.
HAYWOOD may be guilty OF the
crime charged against him, AMI II
tina, Is proven he should hang as
high as llaman. But every liberty
loving American wants To see him
have a fan trial, wants to see the
speeches oi the lawyers on both
sides of the case fairly reported,
But il is impossible for the general
reader Ia form any idea of the
guilt OF innocence of the accused
50 long as the papers send out such
brutal aud bitter TRADES against
everybody who is disposed to see
that these men get an impartial
trial The contemptible ilunkey
who writes the Journals reports
is utterly incapable OF rising above
the gutter-snipe style OF journalism
and We are surprised that a paper
which is constantly rebuking It's
contemporaries Tor uniairness should
send forth to the world such lying
and disgus,ingly unfair rubbish,
mlscLlled reports, as appear IN It's
columns. We are very much in
clined TO believe that honest minded
working men OF the country will
not stand this kind OF Journalism
much longer
Just witness the conceit OF this
hired literary mountebank. A few
days ago he had the presumption
10 criticize the immortal Blackstone
and later on he undertook 10 tell
Mr., Richardson how he should con
duct the defense Aud now that
the monumental ass discovers that
his advice was not followed he
raves, abuses aud sneers at the
lawyers for the defense, while he
fawns upon Borah and Hawley and
the Pinkerlons.

a Costly Joke.

A woman II Bochum, says a vi.

bought n little tablet OF chocolate

clarcd value. Attracted the notice
of the postal authorities, who de-
mandcd 81 extra Zee on delivery.
The nephew. suspc,ting hoax, re-
fused the letter. which was duly re-.
turned TO Bochum end the sender

declared that the envelope contain
cd nothing Of real value, but il was
pointed ont 10 her that the contents,
whatever they might be, were de-
clnrcd to be- worth $4,000 and she
must pay. Tho poor woman signed
the receipt. but then was told, to
her dismay. that n double fee had
been incurred owing TO the return
Of the letter. She paid 50 without

From investigations recently
made II has come 10 light tina, the
county road is not on Burlington
and Edison street, a. is generally
supposed, The official lines oi the
county road are on lvanhoe street
and Calliu To the Cation iarm and
from lvanhoe down Richmond To
the water front. These facts are
worth knowing, IL will give the
council a chance To improve the
streets leading To and from the
water front aud also To improve
Edison street all around the base
of the hill. II is generally under
stood the grade on this street was
established To please a couple OF
interested parties, and as they do
not now live on this particular
thoroughiare 1t is thought the
grade can be placed where il be
longs, and Richmond street should
secure attention from the county,
1t is So feet wide, has one of the
easiest grades leading to the water
front, can be improved Tor a nom-
iual sum and is a thoroughtare that
is known as the main artery OF ST
Johns. With the attention given
TO Richmond street that belongs To
il the county " Il only recognize a
just claim OF the people and the
manufacturers along the water
front, And let the city do It's share
toward making II easy to get to
aud from the river. This can be
done by raising the grade OF Edison
from a point near Richmond and
extending it south VIII the city
council take the initiative in this
matter!

While il is really none Of The
Reviews business it would like TO
see Clerk Tanch of the school board
draw more pay for the work he
does for the district. II ha5 only
recently come to light that Lis sal
ary is only Si2. so per month. The
school board voted him al addi-
tional Si2. so, but his extreme
modesty would not permit him to
accept the extra wages. The work
done by the clerk is easily worth
double what he draws and it is
hoped that he will see fit to accept
the extra money.

ROBERT E. LEE
FUND IS GROWING
Two Checks OF $1,000 Each Re
ceived by Washington and
Lee University.

Tho suggestion nlado by President
Roosevelt on the occasion Of tho Lee
centenary last January, that some per-
manent memorial to the name of Lee
be established In the form of an en-
dowment at some institution of learn
ing, has brought forth two offers of
$1,000 each toward such fund. A body
Of leading educators, acting with the
committee Of the centennial exercises,
concluded that the most fitting place
in which to establish SUCH memorial
was Washington and Lee University
and tho committee is now arranging
for O. systematic campaign among the
admirers Of the life and character OF
Lee, North, as well as South, with q
view to raising the necessary funds.
The two objects for which the funds
will he used viii be the rehabilitation
Of, the r. Z. Leo Memorial Chapel
which covers tho remains of the grea
chieftain, and. in tho chancel Of which
| the wonderful recumbent marble figure
may be seen. It Is here proposed te
! add several rooms In the rear for the
preservation OF Lee relics.
The other purpose to which the iune
1 will be placed will be the establish
ment of a Robert T. Lee memorla
4 chair OF American history In the insti
4 tuition over which General Lee presided
1 Curiously enough. the two thousand
4 dollar checks which have already come
in for this fun come from the North
| one from Chicago and one from PM
z adelphia. The names Of the givers ar
heing withheld for the present.
