CRIPTION RATES :

The Times-Herald believes the
Oregonian is working over time
on the recent expression of Judge
Lovett of the Hartman system,
to the effect that the east and
west line through Central Ore
gon depended largely upon the
values placed upon land. We do
not believe the Oregonian intends
to retard the development of the
interior, yet repeated reference
to this remark tends to put this
section in a wrong light with
those not familiar with condi-
tons. Both Judge Lovett and
the Oregonian ought to know
that there are many thousands of
acres of vacant government land
in Central Oregon awaiting the
coming of the homeseeker and
the value placed upon private
holdings need not deter the man
looking for a home. The Times
Herald realizes that the disposi-
ton of large holdings of well
developed irrigated lands would
give great impetus to this coun-
try. provided the price was right,
yet these holdings are not so
large when compared to the i'm
mense area awaiting only way
to market.
Who, pray, is to be the judge
of what Central Oregon land is
worth? Is it to be based upon
its production in its present iso-
lation and sold to the individual
who had not the grit to pioneer
the country, subdue the soil, cor
raj the water and endure the
hardships of frontier life, or is.
the sturdy pioneer to be given
some consideration for such work
and the benefit of increased value
that transportation naturally will
bring?
We know that present land
values in Central Oregon are to
some extent fictitious, but how
this is gong to affect the build
ing of the railroad when there
are thousands Of acres vacant we
fail to see. People don't have
to buy it at exhorbitant prices
for there is too much vacant
besides good grain land can be
had reasonable in other localities.
At any rate has there been any
disposition to place a higher val
uation upon Central Oregon lands
than Hood River. Rogue River
and other highly developed sec
tions considering the respective
productiveness?
The Times-Herald would sug-
gest that the Oregonian tell the
waiting people looking for homes
of the millions Of acres Of vacant !
land in Central Oregon for them
rather than repeat Judge Lovett's /
Then it will be help |
ing instead of creating a false
impression.

punishment and there are some who were
inclined to think possibly innocent man
had been put to death. The Judge who
presided lover the trial gave Beattie the
benefit Of every doubt, and in his charge
leaned SO strongly to the defence that
the jury could easily have aquitted him
or reduced the degree of the crime. After
the verdict the judge pronounced himself
satisfied of the guilt of the man and the
Governor of Virginia refused to interfere
with the sentence of the law. At the
last moment Beattie settled all doubts by
confessing that he committed the murder.

the act. There was much in the trial
that seemed to call for attention. At leas
one witness proved himself liar, and the
woman for whom the guilty man took the
life of his wife was allowed to go free and
she is even now being brought before the
public gaze, posing for a moving picture
concern, at the same time announcing her
intention of changing her name and living
different life. There is no doubt that
there is plenty of room for the latter
move

SPEAKING OF Individual drinking cups
the Atlantic City Press saws:

SPEAKING OF Individual drinking cups
the Atlantic City Press says:
whether the abolition of the public
drinking cup In New Jersey was sincere
reform or whether 1t was inspired by
manufacturers OF paper receptacles, doesn't
matter at this time. The fact is that the
cups have been abolished and that the con
sequence has been a severe hardship to
men. women and children travelling on
railroad trains. 1t has been suggested
that the State Board of Health advocate
legislation compelling the railroads to
supply paper cups free of charge on all
trains, and inasmuch as the paper recep-
tacles cost mere trifie In comparison with
the enormous profits of the railroad bust
ness 1t would seem that such legislation
would be In the interests of thirst humanity
and not contrary to reason. A free paper
cup law will be heartily approved by
every person who now goes thirsty on a
railroad train"
Possibly the best way out of the situa
tion would be to repeal the law, for, as it
now stands. 1t Ia simply a farce. 1t is a
funny spectacle to get on a train at Tren-
ton, where under the New Jersey law the
passengers cannot get drink unless be
has private cup. but all he has to do is
wait until the train has crossed the
bridge into Pennsylvania, and the railroad
glass is put out and he can drink at
will. Another funny one is this: In the
post Office at Trenton. right under the
noses Of the lawmakers, one may get a
drink in any Of the public rooms out of a
tumbler free for the general public, and
nobody can object, for the building is the
property of the United States, which is a
bigger authority than the state of New
Jersey. AS the Atlantic City Press says,
the hardship Is put upon the poor people
and children; others laugh at the law.

In ANOTHER column Is the notification
to the Board Of Freeholders that they
must not attempt to raise more money
than Is needed for election expenses. The
proposition was to bond the county for
two years for SO. OO0-$4 900 more than
was actually needed. This will not be
permitted and the county solicitor has
already given an opinion that the resolu-
ton authorizing the bond issue is not
worth the paper 1t was written upon. He
acknowledges that he drew the resolution
and says he was told that such sum was
necessary. Perhaps that lets him out, but
somebody was at fault. for it was clear to
mauy outsiders who had followed the
annual appropriation and had taken notice
Of the expenses that $4,000 was not
needed. THE News does not take any
credit on this line. Its representa-
tive was not at the meeting. but another
newspaper man was on hand and he dis
covered the discrepancy at once. The
recent decision to reduce the number of
Freeholders and the determination of
many good citizens to keep the board
straight while it is in existence, if 1t does
not know how to do that itself, shows
that 1t is about time for an awakening.

BY two or three is all nonsense and the
sooner this condition is corrected the
better It will be for all concerned.

BY the members Of the State Democratic
committee trying to explain that New
Jersey is Democratic state and that the
recent return of the Republicans to the
control Of the Legislature was really a
Democratic victory favorable to the Presi-
DENTAL aspirations of Governor Wilson.
Some of the Democrats In other parts of
the country do not look at the matter In
that light Delaware Democrats have
announced themselves as not favorable to
the Governor as Presidential timber and
say the results Ia this state are quite a
setback for him. Commenting on the
situation an up-Jersey paper, which leans
very strongly towards the Democratic
party. pays a compliment to the Republic
cans. It says: with only such striking
exceptions as Wilson. the leadership of
Democrats has not averaged ON the par
with that of the Republicans. Generally
speaking, there is feeling that the Re
publicans have the steady, trustworthy
men, the most honorable leaders, in short
the men, whether they are right or
wrong. Right here in Jersey. the race

The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1911-02-04

Q.-can Jewish doctor baptize q
child in case Of death, If he knows how
and yet does not believe in the sacra-
ment?
An case of necessity Jewish
doctor can baptize child and, pro-
vided he goes through the ceremony
in proper manner, the baptism adj
ministered by him will avail for the
remission of original sin. When an
unbaptized child is in danger of death
and there is reason to fear that there
is not time enough to summon priest,
any one who has the use of reason and
knows the baptismal ceremony of
pouring the water and speaking the
appointed words, can truly administer
this Sacrament. 1t has no bearing on
the result whether the person who so
baptizes be woman or man, a Cath
Ollie or non-Catholic, Jew or Gen
tile; if the Christian form is followed
out, the child is baptized with a Cath
olic baptism. Even though Jew does
not believe in Christ or Christianity
and regards not the form of baptism
as of any avail, it is sufficient however
if he intends in baptizing to give rite
which at least in the opinion of the
child's parents is accounted sacred
ceremony The absolute necessity of
being "born again of water and the
Holy Ghost" through baptism gives the
reason for this almost universal power
of baptizing in the case of death. 1t
also points another lesson. A priest
should be summoned any way in near
ly all instances to guard against the
mistakes to which Jewish doctor,
unfamiliar with Christian baptism, is
exposed.
