REMEMBER PENDLEToN ALSO

If there were ever any fears that
Pendleton is going to act selfishly or
narrowly in working for needed legis-
lation those fears were dispelled last
night. At the banquet given by Chair
man NJ. B. Gwinn to his fellow COM
n.itteemen all parts of the county
were represented and on the part Of
the Pendletonians at least, certainly
no narrowness was exhibited.
BY unanimous consent the expert
ment station for the Umatilla pro-
ject is placed at the head of this
ccuntys list of needs. The appropria-
ton for the Weston normal school
comes next. Both these things will
be secured before anything further is
attempted in behalf of the county
The proposed branch asylum is
somthing greatly dsired by the peo'
ple of Pendleton. 1t belongs here,
when one is established, and local
reople would not be doing their duty
by the town did they not put forth
every possible effort to secure the in
stitution.
At present the only danger is that
in working for the general welfare OF
the county the legislative delegation
and the legislative committee viii
neglect the matter of the asylum. Il
they do so they will bitterly regre
the mistake.
The location of branch asylum a
this point would be about the bigges
addition ever made TO the city an
county To care for the 500 patient
the new institution will hold a fore
of from so to 100 attendants and EN-
ployes will be required. This woul
mean a substantial payroll for tn
city.
Then the supplies for the insitutio
would draw upon the products
every portion Of the county. tn
benefit to come from locating the as!
ium here would not be all for Pendl'
ton.
Pendleton is looking out for the re
o. the county. She is placing outsic
needs ahead Of her own. Surely Pei
dleton is entitled to the earnest SUI
port Of the rest Of the county in 8
curing the branch asylum.

Fate of His old Friends.

Arch Cook, the district passenger
agent of the Southern road is from
Danville. This fact leaked out when
he told another story yesterday.
An old inhabitant who had been
absent from Danville for IA years re-
turned on visit and was inquiring
after some of his old friends.
"'How is old Bill Jones?"
Poor old Bilrs dead, Yes, he
drank himself to death. We buried
him right over there"
rs that fact! And how about
George Jones?"
"Old George went the same route
couple of years ago. Drank himself
to DEATH We buried him right over
there"
well. well! Does old Bill Smoots
still talk politics."
II hardly think So Old Bill died
about a year ago. He drank himself
to death"
Guess you buried him right over
there with the rest?"
NO. we just poured him back into
/ the barrel."-Louisvill Times.

JURY REFORM.

For many years thoughtful men
have questioned the wisdom of the
American jury system as 1t now pre-
walls. While the principle of the jury
system is good, experience has shown
that the system has some defects
Most of these result from the fact
that a unanimous verdict must be re-
turned. This often results in dis
agreements. or what is worse STILL the
acouittal of a guilty man because two
or three members of a jury refuse to
stand for conviction.
In a recent editorial upon the sub
iect of jury reform the Los Angeles
Herald had the following to say:
Some amendments to the Constitu-
ton have been suggested, having in
view greater efficiency in the admin
istration of the law. one of the
amendments deals with prevention of
miscarriages of justice caused by jury
disagreements. 1t suggests ,hat three
fourths of a jury may render a ver-
dict. In one of the countries of the
race which uses the English language
for literary and general purposes the
iurv system has been amended for so
many years that the inconvenience
and failures caused by the English
and American system are unknown
The Scottish jury system is arraged
to prevent delays and expedite JUS
tice. There are three possible YER
diets. Guilty" Not Guilty and
"Not Proven" There are fourteen
men on the jury, and in reaching
verdict the majority system is follow
ed. When a verdict is rendered il
stands. There is no ideal jury sys
TEN. and there never will be unit
there is ideal human nature and per
feet men are put in the jury box. But
wear in and year out and all tn
year round" in practice the Scotci
Jury system gives much better result
than the American system.

The promptness with which the
Portland jury returned a verdict
against the slayer of Ralph Fisher Is
most gratifying. Fisher was murder
ed in cold blood and it was to be ex-
pected that Finch would be called
upon to pay the full penalty. The
safety of society demands that a
criminal be punished in proportion to
his crime. Though the verdict re-
turned against Finch is a harsh one
it is but just.

some time" he told himself, with
hope,
"Iu seek out Easy street.
With winds down fortunes sunny
slope
For faith will brook defeat
The path is hard long which I grope,
And few the friends I meet"
Thus would he tell himself and sigh.
As to his work he pressed,
Then cheer would come with by and
by
Mine shall be all the best"
And so with bended back he strove;
Toiled on day after day,
To gather up his treasure trove
That some time he might pay
All. well, he found it on day,
And smiled, AT last I'm here"
But strange was all the gilded way
Chill grew his heart with fear.
/ For all the cleaning splendcr Of
The world that met his view
Gave him no smile or nod of love;
No friendly face he knew.
And though he heard no duty call;
No voice of hunger gaunt;
Yet did he drink of burning gall
Because he had no want,
And from his eyes dropped down the
veil
The haunting of old years
While clear he heard, "All things
must fail
That hold no work or tears"

So we hunt for Easy street,
Think good things there are stored
/ Nor stop to rest our weary feet,
Too late find the reward
Is but an empty cherries cheat
A useless, wasted hoard.
