Why Not Prosecute?

Isn't IL about time that something
more be done than the making OF
dubious political capital out OF the
charges OF bribery publicly preferred
against high officials OF the Standard
Oil Co?
Since the exposure of the cor
respondence with Senator Foraker
and Congressman Sibley. dov,l
through the scandals involving Bailey
and others TO the recent case of Sen
ator Penrose the charge has been
plain enough.
BY what contortion of justice can II
be made to appear sufficient TO punish
bride takers and bride givers solely
by loss OF political prestige?
II seems to us that Instead of a con
gressional committee trying to smircll
statesmen for mere political effect We
should have grand jury investieat-
Ing the long standing criminal charge
of bribery against Standard Oil Of
ficials?

The Roseburg Review Wednesday
issued a special progress" Edition,
besides the regular newspaper, which
by the way is always neat in appear
ence well made up, with all the news,
and ably edited, it puts out on excel
lent heavy book paper a 6S page mag
azine, beautifully printed and full Of
cuts showing orchards, farms and
scenery, all the thousand things
Douglas County contains. The front
cover page is beauty carrying the
cut of the winning Douglas county
exhibit at the State Fair. Such work
is Of incalculable value to the state,
and If the editors do not give them
selves an extra pat or two on their
backs, they are surely devoid of self
pride and egotism. 1t sets the pace,
and will hold the lead for some time

POPE'S DEATH
WAS FALSE
[UNlrpD rRnss LnAsrp wInr.l

UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRB.f
Rome, April 11,--ofiiclal denial of
a widely circulated report Of the
death of Pope Plus was given the
United Press at the Vatican this
evening, the denial being accompan-
led by the announcement that rigid
Investigation would be started to fix
responsibility for the message al
legged to have been sent to Madrid
falsely announcing the demise Of the
pontiff.
The first rumor that the pope had
died suddenly reached here in inuui-
ries from the United Press bureaus
at Paris, London and New York.
These were quickly followed by re-
quests for information from news
papers in other European capitals.
The reports caused great excite
ment and hundreds of persons flocked
to the Vatican to secure confirma-
tion. For several hours admission
was denied to the Vatican for fear
that undue excitement might cause
a change for the worse in the condl-
tion Of the pope, and this action led
to the belief that there might be
some truth in the report.
Later when messages of inquiry
from church dignitaries from all
parts of the Christian world began
pouring in on the vatican, seeking
verifcation, the United Press cores
pondent was summoned and told that
the report was without foundation.
