MURDER, AND sEMI-MURDER.

Just now the good people of Portland
are all agog with excitement over an
out-and- out murder, and case OF semi
murder. The former being the case OF
Young Du Puts who was deliberately
shot to death in saloon at midnight
on Wednesday; the latter, being the
case of wilful public asperation OF the
character OF a notable an very popular
actress. Both cases are bad enough
from any point of view but the unwar-
ranted assault upon the good name OF
FRITZ Scheff. the famous young actress,
is the worst of the two.
Never in all her career at home in
Europe and throughout the Americas
has one word of derogation ever been
heard of this young and brilliant woman
and, as an actress. this has been one Of
her greatest and most valuable assets.
Wheresoever she has been. wide as has
been the scope Of public writing in rela-
tion to her work and individuality, not
whisper has gone forth to her dishonor,
until she reached Prtland, and there she
fell victim to the vicious imagination
Of an irresponsible reporter on the
staff of the Journal, and the woman is
i'll from the effect of the witless, war
rantless slander.
There is nothing more wretchedly
cruel than the public lie. 1t may be met
with prompt and indisputable denial;
refutei to the last syllable Of its un-
truth; but the shadow of it, the poison
of it, the unacceptable tang of its mere
utterance, cling for years and cause in
finite shame and sorrow. 1t is semi
murder, in that it does not kill; it
stabs and wounds and iisfgures, but it
leaves the troubled years of life to ac-
centuate its bitterness, its undeserved-
ness; it is cruelty that may never be
accounted for, palliated, nor made good.
There is absolutely no excuse nor ex-
PLANTATION, to serve the wanton fool who
senselessly attacks the name of pure
woman in public print. Such mistakes
are made but once by anyone If the
woman has kin or friends.

A. MUSICAL WAR.

Some of the great composers OF music,
poets, writers and actors in this world
of ours are very sore because the makers
of photographic records are using. their
creations broadcast. as they allege,
without authority. This is news to the
public; since it had always been widely
accepted that these people (such as
Sousa, for instance, had, voluntarily.
sung and played and read and recited
into the receiving instruments OF the
record concerns, just for the sake OF an
extended popularity; at least these
master pieces have been advertised in
this fashion; and this explosion throws
the mantle of doubt over the whole
situation. At all events. war has been
declared and the battle-ground is to be
in Washington, in the departments next
to such businesses.
There is q nice question involved in
this uproar, and it is likely to find its
way to the top of the confusion OF
argument, namely. the principle. that
when a song is sung to the public. when
q book is published and sold to the
public, when a speech is made in pub
lie, every note and line and word and
sentiment. instantly become the prop.
Ferty of that public, and can never be
recalled, suppressed nor abridged in any
way. We have never seen this argu-
ment urged that we know of, but good
lawyers have maintained it and the
abstract principle is one of exact and
equitable justice; and if it is to prevail
in this contention against the phono-
graphic people, the results will be dis
astrous to those authors who rely upon
the public for the acceptance and COM
mendation Of their work.

Fourth Annual Convention Passes
Into History.
ROOT AR0USES ENTHUSIASM
Governors of States, Railroad Magnates
and Many Prominent Americans Make
Pledge to Help Secure Appropriations
For Waterways Development.

WAShlNGlUN, Dec ID. -- Formally
opened by Hihu Root. Secretary Of
State. and brought to formal close by
Theodroe Roosevelt, President OF the
United States, the fourth annual con
veution OF the National Rivers & Har.
bors Congress has passed into history
as the greastest gathering OF its kind
ever held in the western hemisphere.
More than 1900 delegates attended il.
They came from every section Of the
nation, and cabinet officers. members OF
Congress, governors Of states and heads
OF big railroad systems expressed their
sympathy with the organizations policy
and pledged their support in the effort
being made to have an annual appropria.
tion bill OF not less than s50,OOO,0O0
passed by the national legislature.
Secretary Root aroused the greatest
enthusiasm when he declared the admin
istration was in heartiest accord with
the organization and its work. He re.
ferIed to remark made by a speaker
at the last convention to the effect that
the National Rivers & Harbors Congress
should go slow in its demand for heavy
appropriations. and that it should not
attempt to cross bridge before it came
to it. Leaning forward Mr., Root spoke
slowly and distinctly, SO that his voice
was audible in every part OF the great
hail. in reply to the expression Of year
before!
Some reference was made at your last
meeting to not crossing bridge before
you reach it" he said Gentleman, we
have now reached that bridget
Within the first few minutes OF his
address the Secretary of State coined
the phrase that ruled throughout the
convention. Almost every speaker made
reference to it. In fact, had stranger
wandered into the convention he might
have been at loss to determine immedi-
ately whether the orators were discuss
II ing waterways or bridge building.
The second day Of the session saw
six governors Of states on the platform,
each Of whom pledged the enthusiastic
support of his state and section to the
'furtherance of waterways improvement.
The six who spoke were Dawson OF West
Virginia; Glenn Of North Carolina;
johnson of Minnesota; Cummins Of
Iowa; Conner of Alabama and Hoke
Smith of Georgia. In addition, former
Governor Pardee Of California and Lieut..
enant Governor Davidson OF Texas were
on the program the same day.
One significant feature of the meeting
was the appearance Of James j. Hill,
head of the Great Northern system, and
President Finley Of the Southern Rail.

ed the convention and proved beyond
the shadow OF doubt that railroad op-
position to waterways development had
been entirely removed.
AS matter of fact, the attitude of
the railroads now is one Of appeal,
rather than a menace. Both Mr.. Hill
and Mr. Finley agreed that unless some
auxiliary means Of transportation is de-
yeloped, the commerce Of the country
will be halted and hard times set in,
disastrous to all business enterprise, in.
