The Supreme Court of Oregon is criticised for setting aside a convction founded on purely circumstantial evidence, In such cases conviction must be on such a complete proof as to be beyond a reasonable doubt. This is a right which any accused man has, to appeal if he can show that there was reasonable doubt as to his guilt, The state must convict a man fairly and fully or the Supreme Court will set him free. In cases of circumstantial evidence there must be a plain, strong, direct chain of evidence, There must be no "inference from an inference," no drawing conclusions because somebody or some newspaper thinks they ought to be drawn. On the other hand the Supreme Court must stant out against the other extreme , Special grand juries, specially selected trial juries, spe cial pleading political trials, newspaper convictions must be discouraged, It is a well-known 'fact that probably any grand juror, any trial juror, employed in some of the federal court trials in Oregon was picked, packed, instructed, fixed for the sole purpose of securing convictions. Only jurors who would convict were wanted, or such as "would fall in with the theory of guilt advocated in the news papers. The charges, the accusations brought out before the grand jury, even the testimony to be presented to the trial jury, was all pbuilshed in advance and directed to secure . conviction. Thus an atmosphere of conviction was built up irr ad vance, of the trial which the accused could not escape, ''No fair trial was possible under such circumstances. There was complete assumption of guilt from the start, It Is against such outrage in the name of justice that a Supreme Court should stand, The happy medium is a cool deliberate administration of justice pursued in the regular legal channels. Newspaper convictions do not convict in the long run, Special pleading and special practises do not advance justice. The Oregon Supreme Court has preserved a happy me dium and has stood for the rights of citizens to have a fair trial, For this it has been censured in some quarters . 1 But for this it deserves to be upheld by the people re gardless of party, THE CITY OF To build fine streets, fine houses, fine business build ings, and fine pubic parks constitutes a city of good ddeds. To maintain a good fire department, to provide a sewer system, to furnish a good public lighting system, and a good water system, entitles a city to be called the city of good deeds. All these things are for the health, the convenience and comfort of the people, and constitute this a city of good deeds. If the city advances on these lines, property advances In value, houses increase in comfort, the citizens improve in health and longivity, and that constitutes the city of good deeds . It is a remarkable fact that most of these things which constitute a city of good deeds aro the work of the munici pality, The city of good deeds is sometimes the result of the work of individuals. The Wilson park, the Bregman fountain, the Bush drinking fountain, John Albert taking up the school children's deposits in the Gilbert Brothers' bank, arc all good deeds. The Mrs, E, M, Walte fountain that is still to be erected was another addition to the book of good deeds , There have been cases of concerted giving, as to Willa mette University, to the Y, M, C, A to the City Library ,etc, But thero have not In fifty years been any larger public gifts in the city of Salem , There is still room for our city to be further distinguish ed as the city of good deeds. There Is still room for men to distinguish themselves by adding to the fame of the city of good deeds.- DEPOSIT your sav- ings where they will earn $ Interest. One dollar will open an account.

There are several fljaces where ladies - can have their shoes polished. 'k There is yet no ladles' manicure establishment in Sa lem , Neither is there a ladies' corn doctor or bunion cure es tablishemtn. Salem would afford business for a hair-dressing estab lishment for ladies, . Salem has many competent dress makers and even good suit makers, There is probably room in Salem for a first-calss ladies' tailoring house. In a recent magazine article it 'was estimated that ( it costs $30 to fix up a modern society woman from polishing her toenails to putting the pink on her finger tips. Salem is a great women's town, with woman's clubs, woman's colleges and hundreds of bright married and single women. Some of the special services that are elsewhere rendered to society women would find good remuneration here, Our commercial ladies should interest themselves in se curing these industries for the Capital City, PEPPERMENT CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY Experiments Made on Beaver ty Demonstrate this to the Satisfaction of the Officers in Charge of the Orego n Experiment Station. That peppermint of a high grade of quality and capable of producing a standard grade of oil can be grown successfully In Oregon for commer cial purposes Is evidenced uy dem onstrations mnde by the U. S. ex periment station at Corvallls, tho re sults of which aro set forth in a bulletin by Prof. C. E. Bradloy, chemist, of tho station, the text of which is as follows: "In May, 1908, tho Michigan ex periment station shipped, at the re quest of tho chemical department of tho Oregon station, a quantity of well bred peppermint roots for trial on tho Oregon beaver dam lands. The roots wore planted by Mr. S. C. Ink- ley, of Banks, Washington County, on a typical beaver dam soil whore the plants made an excellent growth dur ing tho past soason. A quantity or this peppermint has just been tested by us and a yield of AA of oil found on tho greon plant. This is a good average yiold, and, taken in con sideration with tho excellent growth of tho plant .Indicates that the cul ture of peppermint would be success ful on tho Oregon beavor dam soil. "Three kinds of peppermint are grown In tho United States, Black Mint (Mentha piperita vulgaris), American Mint (Montha piperita.), and White Mint (Montha piperita of ficinalis). Tho Black Mint Is hard- lost, yields more oil and Is used largoly by poppormint growers. Whlto Mint yields a high grade, much prized oil. "Japan Is said to have first culti vated tho poppormint plant for the oil and tho records show it was grown in this country before tho Christian ora. Tho plant was also early , cultivated in England and a fine grado of oil, tho 'Mltcham' oil, Is still produced thore. In 1S1 pep permint was first grown In America on a largo scale In Wayno County, Now York, which Is still a producing district. Later tho plant was Intro duced into Mlchignn nnd Indiana, tho former stato boing at prosont the largost producer of tho oil In this country.

Y., 121 acres; Michigan, 101G acres, and Indiana, 201 acres. "In practice the plants are cut and while green or partly dried are pack ed Into wooded stills and subjected to live steam. The oil, like all as sontlal oils, is carried over with the steam and after passing through cool ing pipes collects on top of the con donsed stteam. A good average yield is about 35 pounds of oil per acre though as high as 50 or 60 pounds are sometimes obtained. "It Is estimated that it costs from ?10 to $20 an acre to cultivate tho mint and from 25 cents to 35 cents Is the price paid for distilling the oil at tho central distilling plants which aro established In the peppermint districts. The price realized on the oil has varied from SO cents to ?5 por pound, with an average price of probably ?2 per pound. "During the past few years there has been an over-production of tho oil and the small growers have had to sell at very low figures. Like va rious farm products, there Is consid erable fluctuation in price and no surety of getting good returns from every crop. It is evident, however, from this experiment that a large area of swamp land In our state is especially adapted to the growth of poppormint and with a reasonablo price for the product good returns could bo obtained from what is, in many cases, waste land." for backache, rheumatism, kidney or bladder trouble, Foley's Kidney Pills purify the blood, restore lost vitality Cottolene Is Not a Substitute for Anything No animal product, such as hog lard ever has afforded, or ever can afford a satis faction to compare with Cottolene It is far superior to lard because it contains no hog at, and its purity is unquestioned.
