Independent Mayor.

Now that independent candidates are
coming out and asking the electors for
support, there is a rumor that an effort
will be made even to get an independ-
rent Mayor in the field, but where to
J find the timber is a question. Lucas
will not run, and it is not thought that
Hustaee will burn his fingers again in

one will really announce himself for

 A LEGAL 0UIP

There are so many legal quips and technicalities in our criminal proceed ings by which justice may be delayed or thwarted that we are not much sur prised at anything new that we read of but we think a recent instance fin oregon is very nearly the limit. Ore gen has e law which makes 1t felony for one or more persons to beat an other with q cowhide. whip, stick or like thing" Two men were indicted for severely beating woman with a leather strap. There was no question as to the offence or of the guilt of the men and they were convicted. The case went to the Supreme Court on ap- peal and that high tribunal reversed the action of the lower court, and the ground of reversal was that the stat ute under which the men were convict ed does not specifically mention leathe CT strap. and that as the indictment under which the men were convicted failed to specify that a leather strap is "of like kind" with a cowhide, whip or stick the offenders were not legally convicted.
 Here 1t seems to us was . ease of straining at a gnat. The men had com mitted a brutal assault on Q women. Common sense would hold that under the law a leather strap would be in- eluded among the forbidden weapons of assault, but because the prosecutor who drew up the indictment failed to state in it that a leather strap is "of like kind" with the other unlawful weapons the Supreme Court holds that the men were wrongfully convicted! The Portland oregOnian thus some- what sarcasticaIly comments on the case:
 At first glance it would appear that District Attorney Loruax was neglect fuI in falling to place in the indict- ment an allegation that a leather strap is like a cowhide, and that Cir cult Judge Smith was careless in per- hitting the case to go to trial upon such a defective complaint. but upon further consideration 1t will appear that of the woman, who was probably the principal witness in the ease, AL most certainly it was the fault of the woman, for have not all faults. from the time of Eve, been properly attribu- table to woman?

 Not long ago the United states Census Bureau Issued a report which should have provoked instant and widespread discussion.

 The reference Is to the special report on "Iusane and Feeble minded in Hospitals and Institutiops.v At first glance, nothing alarming Is to be seen in the statement thai In 1903 there were in the insane asylums or the country a total of 15o.lbi inmates What is this, H may Dc asked fn popu- lation exceeding se.ooo.e00f But the mat ter quickly assumes another aspect when U is observed that In 1890. the year of the preceding census. the insane asyiums only held 5l0es unfortunates; and that ten wears earlier. the asylum population was hut z0.4ge Tn other words. there has been a prorressively more rapid increase in in- sanity than in population.

 g7 review of Judge Taft's candi- GRes d prospects, and of the admin sis Is support of him. The Brook ysn se1e thus refers to the President:

 That may we'll be called severe criticism of the head of the govern znent. but can any one assert that it is unjust or unfair? One of Roosevelt's most notable faults or faiiings is that he wants to be "the whole thing" so to say. whether we call it conceit. sclf-conhdence. arrogance or distrust of others makes little difference. The fact remains that he apparently sets himself up as the embodiment Of all bs hes of the government and is ir- s y. nd enraged when he finds him. sslg lie to carry out his wishes To pGs both his acts and his express

 E purts from the highest to the lowest as employees to be ruled and dic- tated to by the President. and 1t really seems a surprise to him. and in the nature of an aftront, if judges do not decide in accordance with his own views.
 It is unfortunate that President of the United States should have such disposition. and that he should display it so frequently and so glaringly. He. above all others. should teach respect for the law and acquiescence in the opinions of the judiciary. but he is as far from doing so as any man who has ever held the ofice of President. And here is one source of Tatt's weakness. in our Judgment--the open and dicta- tory advocacy of his candidacy by Roosevelt. "The Presidency" as The Eagle elsewhere observes. "is an office the American people prefer to i'll for themselves. and as to which they re- sent with the spirit of freemen, the prescription to them of any man.

lar case t may. be that, in the excite ment or being beaten, the woman did nos notice whether the leather strap was tnade of cowhide or not, and. be- ay ah. as noe sa rws the n Tss tss S nary examinntion to any more than she knew. IT the woman could not Swear that the leather strap was a cowhide, pigsl<in or shsepskin. of course the Dis trlct Attorney could not put in the in dictment the charge that 1t was a cow hide There being. too. a very marked ainsrsnce between . leather strap and insert an allegation that 1t was like a cowhide. Some of the censure that is due should fall upon the Circuit Judge. for not dismisslng the indictment in the trouble and cost of an appeal to the Supreme Court. The extent of the cen- sure that is due is a matter upon which opinions will differ.
 Perhaps the result in this case will cause more care among the oregonians and lead them to get things straight before going into the courts. If, for example. some male brute or brutes should beat a woman with a piece or strap of leather she should carefully note the weapon used and be able to swear positively whether it was made of cowhide or the skin of some other animal so that there can be no doubt as to the nature of the material used to infict the beating. Further.n wil' be essential for the solicitor or other person drawing up the indictment to state in exact words that the weapon used is of like kind to those set forth in the statute. Only by strict observ- ance of these particulars can, justice and the Supreme Court of oregon worx in harmony.

 In the opinion of Secretary Taft the military service should be made more attractive. One means to that eno i is Increasing the pay. Another IS m stonping the soldiers from digging ditches. weedink grass plots and build ing sewers at army posts. still arr other consideration. which the Secre- tary doesn't mention, might be in glv- ing the boys" a few more brass put nnt" The chap who goes a-soldiertng fixes to-1ook as handsome as clothes can make him.

The Cuban Experiment..

NeW 1ofk ilnaes
 The promise. to which Secretary Taft has practically committed the United States Government. to turn over the control of Gu bua to the cubans in the Spring of 1908, is justified by the tone of Gov. MaGoon's report which sthe Secretary of War has just transmitted to the President. The Provisional Government still has few diff faculties to contend with. but the improved economic condition of the island. the evil dences of increased understanding among the Cubans of the need of improved sanita- tion and the general acceptance of the pro- posed new laws. show that the work re- quired for 1t is nearly oOmpiated. Within little more than year. unless some un- foreseen disturbance occurs the Cuban peo- pie will once more take up the burden of self-goverument under promising condi- tions.
 The people of the Unitsd States have a reason to be proud Of those chapters in their recent history treating of their rela- tions with Cuba. It would have been ditfi- cult after the war of 1898 to find an intel ugent European conVersent with foreign affairs who did not firmly believe that our Government intended 10 hold Cuba perma- nsntly. and that statements to the contrary were not intended to be taken seriously. But kept our word by helping 10 sstablish the independence of Che Cuban Republic.
