4 EXECUTED IN ONE DAY
OREGON EXECUTIVE REFUSES
REPRiEuE AS A LESSON.
Gov. West Gives His State "Bloody
Friday Because Voters Refused
to Abolish Capital Punishment.

Salem, Oregon. - Frank Garrison
and Noble Faulder, condemned
murderers, were hanged in the peni-
tentiary simultaneously at 11:28
O'Clock. Immediate preparations were
made to execute two other murderers,
H. E. Roberts and Michael Morgan.
|. The trap was sprung under Roberts
and Morgan at 80 O'Clock.
Roberts made statement before he
climbed the scaffold, saying he had
been bounded by officers and his mind
unbalanced by work over an emery
wheel while in prison. He said if he
had not killed these men" he would
have killed some one else
Thousands Plea for Men.
Morgan protested his innocence to
the minister who accompanied him to
the death chamber.
Gov. Oswald West, an aggressive OPP
penent of capital punishment, had
been appealed to by thousands of per-
sons to reprieve these four men, but
he steadfastly refused, saying he want
ed the people of this state to have a
"bAoody Friday" in the hope they
eventually would vote to abolish the
death penalty.
While the hangings were taking
place, a 24-hour meeting was being
held on a street in San Francisco in
protest against the executions.
A fifth man was to have been exc
cuted, but the governor commuted his
punishment to life Imprisonment.
Thousands had petitioned Gov. West
to reprieve the four men until the
voters have a chance to reconsider
their action in defeating at the last
election an initiated law abolishing
capital punishment. The argument
has been that the question should be
submitted again to allow the newly
enfranchised women to vote on it.
Governors of Wisconsin, Maine and
Rhode Island, where capital punish.
ment now is forbidden, joined in the
appeal for reprieve.

A Matter of Personal Pride
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

TINE success Of any public reform
depends upon the enthusiasm OF
the individual
A plan is prepared for lettering pub
lie conditions Committees are APP
pointed, city officials assume certain
responsibility, certain days are SET
aside for putting the reform into effect
and with a whoop and a hurrah, and
perhaps band or two that being the
manner in which men call attention to
their efforts. the work Is begun.
If it is a success or a failure deuends
not on the committee, the civic officials
with sashes, or those who whoop and
hurrah. That depends on the private
Individual
And in 80 reforms IN every 100, that
private individual" is a woman,
She is not on any committee Her
existence is not recognized by the men
fostering the reform. They do not think
Of her as having any connection with
the success or failure of their plans
But, nevertheless, without her co. per-
alton their most widely proclaimed
their most loudly heralded reforms are
a failure
This is particularly true in the COM
mendabIe attempts made TO establish
cleanup days for a city, the same as
there are cleanup days in the home.
Certain days are set aside for collect
ing and destroying all the refuse found
in streets and vacant lots In some
towns there are tin can days, fly days,
weed days etc, with an effort TO rid the
city Of certain pests on certain days,
with prizes offered for the individual
doing the greatest amount Of work.
The result Of such campaign work
doesn't end with a city made more
beautiful; sanitary conditions are i'm
proved. and a pace has been set that
means the city will never entirely re
lapse into former unsightly and I'M
healthful conditions BaCksliding is
bound to follow, but the city will never
slide back TO the point from which 1t
made it's first advance on the first
cleanup day.
The mother Of the nome in whose
busy hands there has been laid this re-
sponsibility is not the only woman WHO
can help in this important work
The daughter OF the home is equally
res pOnsibIe, and | make this statement
in the face Of a protest that many of
them leave their homes at an early hour
IN the morning, and work behind coun
ters downtown all day
They haven't the time, ! know, 20
