Portland, Ore, July 4.-Some

The ifs are up to the people of

If they just go on about their
business this big show will come
off as per schedule.
Governor Oswald West does
not think much of these hanging
bees, and he had an idea when
he took office that maybe the peo-
pie of Oregon didn't think much
of them, either, so he committed
the death sentence of a couple of
murderers to life Imprisonment.
The furore that followed awak-
ened the governor to the fact that
at least some of his constituents
were still strong for the big
shows, so he stopped and thought
over the matter.
He remembered that emperors
of Rome lefrit to the public to say
who should die. In those days
they killed criminals in public and
charged an admission to see the
fun-put two in at a, time and
made them fight each other. If
the loser put up a good fight, he
still had a show for HIS life. The

tons were printed, so that the
people could vote-they make a
cross now instead of twiddling
their thumbs.
But it takes 10000 signatures
to get the law on the ballot, and
the governor has found out some
thing else. He found that in this
day of the rush for the almighty
dollar, the populace doesn't give a
boot whether it's thumbs are up
or down.
Of course the friends of the
condemned might be worried, but
they do not number 10000.
Nobody offered to pay for the
circulating of petitions, and those
who volunteered to circulate
them report that there will be no
chance of getting the required
number of signatures in time to
get the law on the ballot, unless
there is some tall hustling.
Determined to put the matter
of life and death up to the people,
Gov. West has refused to al
low any execution until after cleo
ton and has reprieved the con-
demned men now at Salem until
January, 1913. By that time the
people will have voted on the
question.
