A REJoINDER ON FACT AND Law,

We reproduce On this page this morn"
ing some caustic comment by the Port
lnad Oregonian on the traversty of judi
cal procedure IN this city III the Sheets
case. 1t must be interesting reading
for the political consplrators who have
banded the case about to serve IN
political schemes and campaigns. The
Oregonian righteously scores those con-
spirators, and hltly scourges the mag
istratc who has allowed himself 10 be
used in their conspiracies.
Nevertheless, the Oregonian is suffer
ing under some delusion in errors OF
fact and of law. 1t appears to imagine
that at the time the McWhirters were
urged by the police chief TO stay and
help the unraveling of the robbery they
had been the alleged victims of, the
chief was already under arrest charged
with the offenses he was charged with
later. But at that time there was no
intimatlon against the chief. 1t did not
occur 10 the conspirators until later
that the case might be made to serve
political use in the municipal cam.
paign then coming on.
Again the Orcgonian appears TO think
that the same JUDGE had dealt with both
phases of the case; that the Judge who
dismissed the ease is the same as the
one who bound Sheets over for trial.
This. of couyse, is an error.
Again, the Oregonian is still under
the misrepresentation that the district
court that dismissed the case which in
the lower court charged o misdemoanor
when it was undertaken to prove
felony was in grave and opprobious
error, The Oregonian seems TO think
that this was peculiar atrocity and
that there is something wrong about the
Law and the practice which permitted
it. But there would surely he some
thing radically wrong with any law or
practice which would allow Of the trial
of an accused person for a felony who
had been bound over merely for mis-.
demeanor. If the Oregonian will take
the trouble TO inquire, it will 6ud that
! this could not happen in Oregon any
more than III Utah. Perhaps if our
Portland contemporary will seusc the
fact that ii was committing magis,
trate which did ths binding over and
district judge that dismissed the case
for its illegal presentation, the matter
will clear itself in its mind. And, fur.
7 tber, if 1t will realize that the dismissal
was only as to the case as presented,
the whole matter being still undecided,
ii may be more reconciled,

PERILs OF AUTHORSHIP.

In the multidudinous bookmaking
of the present day, there turks an
occasional danger that is not often
suspected. We mean the danger of
being charged with plagiarism, or
even downright literary theft. 1t is
q charge not at all uncommon, and
unfortunately, it is not at all rare to
find the proof complete. Not long ago
a perfect case of literary appropra
tion of auother's literary labors was
made against Jack London, and he
admitted the fact, undertaking TO
justify himself by the claim that what
he had taken was narration of fact,
whereas he had incorporated the stolen
work into a novel-a distinction which
would excuse any sort of literary steal
ing
But charge of plagiarism Of much
more Importance is now being
threshed out in the literary circles
of England and America. A little

 Mrs. Chastain is at her, residence. 120 Perry Street, and Mrs. DeHoney ss in St. Margaret's Hospital. Surgical attention was afforded both as soon as possible after they were hurt.
 The accident occurred about li:Sv o'clock yesterday morning. when Mrs. ChastniTl and Mrs. peHoney were driying in Capitol Heights. A horse. safa to have been driven by a negro, was struck or i'm some other, way frtwhteued by a street. car. and coi- lided with the vehicle occupied by the women. Both were thrown. violently upon the ground.
 Adyices from the Chastain home on Perry Street last night were that the exact extent of Mrs. fChastaip's tn- iuries had not been aseertained. but fhat it was feared she had sustained Internal injuries which might have most serious results. A compound fracture or the ankle of Mrs. DeHoney \ it is said. will probably make neees- sary the smputataon of her leg.
