There should never be another
Brandt case in the state Of New York.
Never again should 1t be possible to
tamper with the machinery of the
courts to wreak private vengeance. 1t
should never again be possible for a
very rich man to secure the sentence
Of poor man, kept ignorant Of his
rights, to prison for so years for a
crime he did not commit. 1t should
never be possible for an army of paid
attorneys to usurp the functions Of
the public prosecutor, railroad a man
to prison and deter even a governor
from coming to his relief, by skillful
appeal to chivalrous sympathy on a
side issue.
Brandt presumably has learned his
lesson. There is a lesson in his case
for others also; and well may they
ponder It.

A Blot Mined Ont.
(From the New York World.J

(From the New York Word.)
In pardoning Foulke E. Brandt, Gov
ernor Sulzer has performed a simple
act of justice, and more. In Attorney
General Carmodys strong phrase, he
has wiped out a blot upon the judicial
history Of the state.
BY deception of the court, by the
manufacture Of a false criminal rec
ord, by the usurpation of the district
attorneys duties by eminent private
counsel, a youth under Il years of
age, who, under a misapprehension,
had pleaded guilty of a crime he did
not commit, was railroaded to state
prison for 80 years. The people owed
him his liberty. Legal processes have
failed to restore 1t TO him, executive
clemency was merely the short cut to
substantial justice.
Like the attorney general, the pres
ent district attorney of New York
county recommended the release of
Brandt The World has strongly urged
1t; we should have been satisfied
with a Communication of sentence,
which would have brought Brandt
within the scope Of the parole. But
the governors way is simpler and bet
ter Mercy need not be shown nor
justice rendered by halves or grudg-
ingly The purposes Of parole will be
amply met If Brandt respects the gov.
ernors conditions, that he shall neith-
er sell his notoriety upon the stage
nor repeat the ISLANDERS that aienated
sympathy and delayed his release.
Brandt is not an engaging person.
He admits his sooundrelly conduct in
withdrawing his charges. But his case
has served a public purpose, if he has
made courts more vigilant against inn
posture, If he has taught wealth that
1t cannot with impunity tilt the
scales Of Justice

Ask the City
to Furnish
Employment

Two score homeless laboring men of
Salem with the endorsement of
Of the ministers Of the city and a large
number of other residents, last night
petitioned the city council that they be
supplied with work by that body al
regulation wages. The petitioners de-
clared in the communication that be-
cause of the scarcity of work at the
present time the homeless man is COM
PEELED to beg or steal, and that they
might preserve their self-respect de-
clared it was necessary that they be
given work.
The petition was objected to vigor-
ously by Alderman Rigdon because,
he said, the petitioners attempted to
dictate to the council how much they
should be paid for their work. He
cited his own youthful experiences as
a knight of the road when he had been
glad to work for whatever was offered
him. The petition asked pay at the
rate of $3.50 for eight hours, stating
that four hours at that rate would be
satisfactory.

Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is unsur-

To Create
a Bureau
Of Mines

Much interest is being manifested in
the Mitchell bill, now pending in the
house, which provides for the creation
of a state bureau of mines and geolo-
gy, with an annual appropriation Of
$25,OOO.
The bureau would be under the con-
troll and management Of a commission
of seven, two ex-officio members Of
which would be the presidents of the
Oregon Agricultural College and the
University of Oregon. The other mem
bers must all be technically qualified.
The commissioners would serve with
out compensation beyond the payment
of their travelling expenses.
The bill has been endorsed by the
Oregon Academy of Science, the Ore
gon branch Of the American Archi-
tects Institute, the Oregon branch Of
the American Mining Congress, the
Conservation Commissions report to
Governor West and by the mining
men and mining interests Of the state
generally. The mines and mining COM
mittee of the house unanimously en-
dorse the bill
While Of Oregons 10000 square
miles of territory, there are 10000
square miles Of mineral territory yet
so undeveloped is this vast mineral
territory that Oregon produces annu-
ally only $4,0OO0O0 in materials, Of
which $3,00000O is in building mate
rials. Oregon has had a small state
bureau Of mines for two years, with
but biennial appropriation Of $4,000.
Friends of the bill declare that the
establishment of the proposed bureau
of mines and geology, with $4,000 to
expend yearly for mineral and geolog-
ical investigation would accomplish
wonders in the all-around develop
ment of Oregon. They asesrt that with
such a bureau inside Of few years
Oregon would be exporting building
materials, instead Of spending millions
in importing them.
One argument advanced for the pas
sage Of the bill Is that the bureau
would take charge of the work of pre-
pairing the splendid state exhibit for
the Panama exposition of 0regon's
mineral resources 1t is asserted that
this work of preparing Oregon's min
eral exhibit should be started as
quickly as possible
California for 80 years has made an
annual appropriation, and in recent
years that state has made an annual
approprltion of $4,000 for its bureau
of mines and geology. For II years
Washington has made an annual ap-
preparation of S2S,75O for its bureau
Of mines, and that states annual pro-
ductlon Of minerals is $17O0000O,
mostly in building materials.
The Oregon branch of the American
Mining Congress in It's support of the
Mitchell BILL points out the follow

ing benefits 1t says would accrue to
Oregon through the operation Of the
proposed bureau:
To the mineral ndustry-Increase
activity in metal mining operations,
Increase Of mint returns. Will stimu-
late the productions of high-grade
clay products. VIII insure the manu-
facture of cement a success Will in
crease the production Of brick and

To the cities and towns-Cheaper
building materials. Increased pay roll
for labor Of all kinds. Accelerate the
building Of local manufacturing plants
VIII increase the sale Of merchandise.
viii improve architecture by supply
ing local stone and cement at lower
cost. Will increase the building rate.
To agriculture-Supply cheaper tile
for drainage. Supply cheaper fertiliz-
ers for the increase of crops. Supply
cheaper cement for culverts and ditch
es, Supply cheaper road materials
and accelerate road building BY CO.
operation with the soil survey results
will be fastened win stimulate the
market for all kinds of farm products.
TO transportation-Evident.
TO labor-Eydent
To public generally-Increase of
population. Consequent decrease of
the individual tax, thereby dividing the
tax burden Influx of capital. I'M
proved business tone.
To the state OF Oregon-Will in
crease the income derived from the
mining Incorporation tax. Prepara-
ton Of comprehensive mineral ex-
hibit for the Panama-Pacific exposi-
tion in 1915.
II. N Lawrie, secretary Of the min
ing congress- and who for eight years
has been engaged in mining engineer
ing in Oregon, is in Salem working for
the interests of the bill.
