Away with
Hangiings
Sheriff MintO Thinks Eyecn-
tiOnShOuld be Private, Sug-
geStS ChIOrOfOrm Instead
Of Hanging or the Chair

While not intending to offer any ad-
verse criticisms as to the manner and
methods in which the present Off
cials conduct the Oregon penitentiary,
or in any way cast a reflection upon
Governor West for the stands he has
taken, Sheriff Harry P, Mnto, in talk
ing with a Journal reporter yesterday,
said:
Il dare say there are but a few peo-
pie in this state who either know o,
remember why the constitution was
changed several years ago in rela-
tion to executions; why public hang
ing were brought to a halt why an
execution chamber, closed In on all
sides, was erected, and the public bar
red from witnessing executions. The
intent of this law was to exclude the
public from witnessing the hanging of
prisoners, But is the public exclud-
ed? No sir In fact, the executions
now are being given more publicity
than when they were carried on out
side Of the prison and in full view Of
Iany person who desired to witness
them There is little wonder that so
much talk and dissesion over capital
punishment has been aroused in this
state. Every man that Is hung re-
ceiyes his share, and a good deal
more, venture to say, of publicity
The execution chamber is full Of spec.
tators on every such occasion; news
paper men are there to give every
phase of the gruesome scene to thC
lpdblic and the spectators do the rest

It'Supt to
Austria
tODeCiide
She Has Placed Herself in
Position Where She Must
Back Down or Fight---She
Will Probably Not Fight
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRB.l

London, Dec. 6,-"Austria must now
hack down or fight" This, service
clubs diplomats, government officials
and a large part Of the press Of Lon
don declare this evening is sure to be
the outcome Of today's announcement
from Sofia that the Balkan allies plan
to take from the sultan all Of Turkey
in. Europe save narrow strip, includ-
ing Constantinople, which will fringe
the Bosphorus, the sea of Marmora
and the Dardanelles.
While no official Of the government
will be openly quoted on the subject
the opinion here is general that Sofas
declaration was inspired by the triple
entente and that it was, in fact an ul-
tlmatum to Austria and her allies,
Italy and Germany. The view is gem
orally held that the declarations of
Premier Poincare of France, Sir Ed
ward Grey and Count Sazonoff Of Rus
sla with Russian massng Of heavy
forces on the Austria and German
frontiers is a most forceful notification
to Austria that her interference in the
partition of Turkey will be met, If
necessary with guns.
In view of the fact that the Bulga-
ran pronouncement of the allies in
tentions has drawn no response from
Vienna or Berlin, although 1t has been
public many hours, the feeling is
grbwlng here that Immediate Euro
pean conflict is not likely and that the
triple alliance, If it turns to arms, will
make no open move until after the
peace plenitentiaries have met here
December 10.
That the feeling of optimism preva-
lent here is not shared in the terri
tory where the Russian-Austrian clash
will come, if it does come is indi-
Gated in Vienna dispatches to the
Daily Mail. They declare that the
Austrian peasants on the Russian
frontier are firmly convinced that
within few weeks at most they will
be in the center Of whirlwind Of war
Thousands Of the peasants, the dis
patches say, are buying and burying
large stocks of food and are turning
all they possess into money prepara-
tory to the dreaded Russian invasion,
The same conditions, other corre-
srondents say, prevail on the Russian
side of the border. In addition to this
1t reported that leaders of the Rus
sian Poles are convinced that with

Too Much Publicity.

"Why don't the governor put a
damper on this publication business.
Why, when man is first arrested the
hangmans moose is flared before the
public in column after column of
newspaper talk, and this publicity of
capital punishment don't stop even
after the condemned man has been
dead for several years. If the law
prohibits public executions, do the
prison officials admit the public?
That statement made by the COVER
nor to the effect he would try and find
chairs for everyone when the execu-
ton of the five men this month takes
place. is a cold-blooded remark to
make by any person Does it appear
to You that the law Is being carried
out strictly in accord with the intent
of the same? Why should there be an
execution chamber? Why was It that
public hangings were stopped? It
does not appear to me that that law
Is being respected as It should If
these hangings are not public, why
then admit 30 or 40 people to witness
them who desire to do so Just to salts
~ a morbid curiosity Admit the nee
essarv witnesses and carry out the
Judgment without the frills and prepa-
raHops, and the people Of oregon will
hear less argument pro and con on
the capital punishment question.

LOOK INTO STATES FINANCES
Treasurer Speer Is Making Up State
ment at Request of Gov. Brown.
Little Money Available.

ATLANTA, Ga.-State Treasurer
Speer, by request of the governor, is
now making up a statement of the
states finances.
1t is not expected that this will
show very much money on hand or in
sight. Governor Brown will be fore
ed to the expedient of borrowing
funds in order to grease the legisla-
tive wheels-something never before
necessary.
The condition of the finances of
the state also make thorny path for
the institutions desiring more funds.
This problem will be put up to the
lawmakers in it's true light, and they
will be warned not to embarrass the
state and its executive by leaving
obligations on an already over-bur-
dened eXchequer.
1t is doubtful if any save the most
urgent appropriations get through
and if they do the governor may be
forced to use his veto power, as much
as he might hate to do such a thing.
