MEDIEVAL TORTURE

Baron Camardo, the Neapolitan
noble who tortured two of his sisters
into slow death for one and insanity
for the other during eighteen years
because of their early indiscreticns,
apparently not seeking punishment
for their deceivers, must have a
Hpoint of view hideously much twist
ed. Marion Crawford and Henry
James would have been greatly in
terested in Camardo. They might
have analyzed his morbid psychology
IN at least three volumes, and then,
not fully satisfied, added Twenty
Years After" in several hundred ad-
ditional pages.
As person in real life, this grim
medieval, castle-dwelling brother
must, in absence of other explanation
OF his diabolic conduct, be looked
upon as morally warped to the point
of insanity. The head of a self
respecting Old World house might
be conceived as killing an erring
wife or sister in an uncomfortable
fit of grief and anger at her dis
honor. But to starve, beat, ard bury
alive two culpable and helpless rcia-
tlves for eighteen years reveals an
enjoyment of cruelty which is fiend-
ishly abnormal. The fact that his
brothers and other sisters aided in
the torture OF the unfortunate
women also shows an unnatural
strain in the family.
1t is not easy for the breezy, bust
ling, healthy minded folk of this
country to conceive the degree of
morbidness which isolation, igno-
rance and other anti-social influences
may produce after many generations
within a provincial European castles

RADICAL OREGON.

Oregon, having an initiative and
referendum system, is debating a
proposal from its progressive Gle
ments looking to abolishing the State
senate. The plan is to submit to
the people a constitutional amend
ment doing away with the upper
chamber, and leaving as the sole
legislative authority the house, of
sixty members.
There is well-nigh universal pro-
test against the expense and delays
of the present system of lawmaking
by bicameral legislatures. Even the
people who sincerely enough desire
the least possible measure of legis-
lstion and commit themselves to the
laissez faire policy, would like to
see the business of lawmaking
cheapened.
More than this, the Oregon re-
formers want to take the election of
the legislature entirely out Of poll
tics. They would adopt plan not
unlike that of the Des Moines char
ter, now the basis of organization
of some 200 city governments. That
is, they would have nominating
primary in which party designations
should be barred, the high men in
the primary to be presented to the
people at the later election, again
without allowing them to be desig-
mated as of any party. Advocates

purpose; but if so, they would seem
rather unfair. The devil has ever
presented himself most attractively
when wearing a fleece; and those
Keystoners who regard Penrose as
at least the coadjutor of Satan,
ought not to sacrifice all the wisdom
Of Lincoln merely because Pcnrose
is working an old trick with it. BY
the same token, they would have to
be demanding that all the churches
be pulled down, because Penrose re-
