Corvallis, Or, May 3.-George and
Charles Humphrey, brothers convict
ed of the brutal murder of Mrs. Eliza
Griffith at her lonely cabin near
Philomath last June, today were SEN
fenced by Judge Hamilton to be
hanged at the state penitentlary June
a.
Before sentence was pronounced,
Attorney Jeffrey, for the defense,
made motion for a new trial. 1t
was promptly denied.
George Humphrey, the elder broth
er and considered the more vicious
of the two murderers, was ordered to
stand up and receive his sentence.
After denouncing him for commit
ting one of the most atrocious and
heinous crimes ever committed in the
state OF Oregon" Judge Hamilton
asked the prisoner, who stood tremb-
ling with bowed head, if he had any
thing to say in his behalf. In a
tone 80 low as to be inaudible save
to those within a few feet of him,
Humphrey replied mo" The court
then pronounced the death sentence.
Charles Humphrey then received
the same sentence Like his brother,
he had nothing to say in extenua-
tion of his crime and made no plea
for mercy.
Think They VIII Escape Death.
The prisoners displayed little emo
tiOn.
The courtroom was crowded when
the brothers were sentenced.
The Humphrey brothers have been
told they will not be hanged and
they believe it. Governor West is
well known to be opposed to hanging
and the murderers have been told In
all probability they will be working
on the states roads in a few weeks,

was a social buslness-responslble for tho
enrichment OF society and the conserva-
ton and extension Of the public estate.
lie found the academic organization at
Columbia unsatlsfactory-and declined
the proffored appointment.
Now the Social Centre movement Is
the sort Of thing this first-rats engineer
was contending for. II stands for tho
idea that a public school-an institution
OF public edueation-should be a rally
ing ground for the kind Of politics that
Is first OF all philosophical and that
weighs and Judges all private rights
from the point Of view of the common
wealth.
People sometimes speak OF the Amer
lean public school as II its main interest
were TO equip individuals to fight for
their private fortunes-as IL it's highest
aim were to give poor children an equal
fighting chance against rich children.
But, Of course. this Is false and foolish
notion.
The public school stands rather for the
principle that all knowledge is the COM
mon heritage Of the race. All the good
WAYS Of doing things. that make up the
sum OF the arts and sciences, are the
common property Of the people. Nobody
should be permitted to seize upon them
and carry them away as a prize. But
everybody should be 30 equipped by pub
Ito teaching that he may be able TO De-
fend tho common right against all
cyclists and monopollsts, and may know
how TO make his own private fortune In
some manner that shali b helpful to
the public fortune.
The failure Of what Is called practical
politics. Is due 10 the fact that II looks
at every public question from the point
OF view of some private interest. It
wastes the peoples estate, partly be-
cause OF corruption and cynicism. but
mainly because IL stupidity refuses to un-
derstand that the peoples estate Is real
and tangible. and that II Is practically
possible TO defend and extend It
Now the public school-under the re-
yiving touch of the Social Centre Move
ment-is seen to be the impresnable fast
ness Of tho peoples imperial demesne.
That Is to say. In plain prose. It Is pos
itively the soiidest iAtituton In the
United States. Nothing else is grounded
so deep in the affection and loyalty Of
the American people. And nothing else
commands so ungrudging an economic
support.
Il follows-and this Is the logic OF the
Social Centre Movement OF America
that there Is no local community in this
country where a small garrison Of public
school Americans. standing for what the
public school Is built to stand for, could
not SO wage their fight as to make the
fortress OF the peoples estate more
dangerous to assail than to defend.

LEARNT BUSINESS YOUNG
STANDARD OIL MAGNATE

Every now and then John D. Archbold--
whose brain is considered in Standard OIL
only as second TO that Of John D.-sllces
off thick wedge Of his fortune and con-
fers II upon some deserving institution
But II Is TO be observed that Mr.. Arch
bold always does the slicing. No one ever
hurries up and takes money away from
him. And when he Ia engaged In q bust
ness undertaking he can figure costs and
credits down to the ultimate decimal.
Il learned to do all that In Leesburg.
O.. whore I was born" said he to a
friend. 'T began my business life by
elerking in q grocery store In Ohio. The
wives Of farmers would come In with
eggs and butter and trade them for
calico and sugar and other commodities.
In those days there was no such thing
as one price rule We got what we
could-and, as markets had not been sys-
tematiEed as they are now, and trans
portation facilities were poor, we paid
what we had TO, and roughly tried to
figure out g profit One could not take
a slate and half and hour and do that
figuring In the rear Of the store, etaer.
It had to be done right off the reel, and
conYncingiy. I've learned lot OF other
things In business since then. but the
best training ever had was In that little
Ohio grocery store. 1t taught me the
value Of absolute knowledge Of the de-
tails Of my business"
Some one suggested that Mr.. Archbold
probably laid the foundation Of his for
tune there.
Let me tell you" said he. impressivsly.
There Is lot of good financial talent
going to waste on Ohio farms. Most OF
those farmers wives skinned me.'-Can-

The attention Of congress to the great
Injustice Of the present system was
called by President Taft. He mention
ed the fact that often the recovery of
large sums in damage veraicts did not
result In actual benefit to the injured
person on account Of the heavy ex-
penses in litigation. The president ex.
pressed the belief that these burdens
would disappear with the enactment of
the proposed law, since the counsel fees
are limited to reasonable amount.
As further stated by the president,
the great object of the proposed law
Is to secure Justice to the weaker party
under existing modern conditions" He
also declared that he would use his in
duence to aid in the enactment of the
proposed law before the adjournment
