GUARDING ITS PREROGATIVES In speaking of the changes made In the Hrltfsh and French general arbi tration treaties a Washington dispatch says: "The action of the Senate Is a victory ror Roosevelt ideas over those of Taft." A better way to de scribe the Senate's action would be to say that It Is determined that no part of Its treaty making power Bhould be surrendered. There are differences of opinion as to whether the Senate would lose any of its actual preroga tives If the treaties passed In the shape In which they were submitted by the State Department. The president and the secretary of state said that under these pacts the senate would lose no privilege which it has now. Equally good lawyers in the Senate, however, took a different view, and they pre vailed. President Roosevelt had an exper ience similar to President Taft's In this respect He was defeated by the Senate in an attempt to push general arbitration treaties with England and j other powers to ratification which, as the Senate thought, might infringe on its right to have a voice in determin ing the fate cf such pacts. This, too, was in 1905, shortly after his elec tion by an unprecidented majority of the popular vote. Mr. Roosevelt was so angry at this action of. the made favorable to the new county movement. Other meetings will be held at central points and If sentiment Is favorable la Eastern Clackamas County, petitions will be prepared Mr circulation and a vote asked for at the general election. This Is the sec ond movement for county division, but the movement a few years ago was de feated by the lnflluence of the Oregon City people, who do not want Esta cada to become a rival. It Is urged that Eastern Clackamas County Is rap Idly filling up and that It Is a long dis tance to Oregon City to transact legal business, the only railway being by way of Tortland. GOLD AND FOOD PRICES Director of the Mint Roberts says the Increased production of gold has some bearing on the cost of living, But that the world-wide advance in food products is not likely to be ma terially reduced soon. Much of the new gold mined is absorbed by coun tries accumulating a reserve of this metal for the first time, and there fore Is not In circulation. A common error In Mr. Roberts' opinion, is to compare the quotations of the 1S9C depression with that of other periods. He considers the prices now obtained by farmers more of a legitimate average. Farmers have been raised from poverty to prosperity, and their land values have Increased to correspond. Food prices are likely to decline somewhat but no one has succeeded In Identi fying them with any single cause like gold production or a protective tariff. THE LETTER In a recent Issue of the Oregonian was an editorial on Colonists of a type which Oregon cannot have too many, people who do not practically prefer to stay In town. The ones referred to seem to have had definite plans, before leaving their Eastern homes and on arrival showed great anxiety to settle down and commence work. This editorial further stated: "We shall be glad to chronicle the Amanda's been home vlsltln' We wished that sho might stay. The house Is awful lonesome Since our daughter went , I notice Josh doesn't whistle much, Nor Ming a lively tune; An' he reenied sort of tuckered out When he came In nt noon. He had so little appetite I knew he wasn't well. "Now don't you go to work,'" sos I, Tntll ye rest a spell." nut Josh took down his old straw hat, (The one Amanda wore Aliout the farm when sho was homo, Altho' the rim Is tore.) Sej; he. "I guess I'll saunter to The mall box Jest to see If Amanda's sent a letter Kr b card to you and mo. 'Twill rest me more Snmnntha dear Than slttln' In a chair Til be uneasy thlnkln' Of that letter waitin' there." A lump in my throat choked me As I saw his hopeful smile What If he's disappointed When he's walked that weary mile! Oh I w ish I might whisper To tho dear hearts that must roam, "Don't forget to write real often to The weary ones at home! Why. there Is Josh a gettln" back So soon it's not yet one I know he's got the letter for He's coniln' on the run. He's wavin' It yes. It's from her Oh aint it big an' thick!

Thus the action has often altered revenue bills at so many points that the House could not recognize them when it got its next plimpse of them. Thus the action which it has just taken on the arbi tration treaties need not surprise any body. The Senate's course may or may not have been wise, but it was In harmony with precendent. When, several months ago. Senator Lodge began to point out some objections to the treaties from the Senate view point, the action which that chamber has Just taken was foreshadowed, al though the changes which it has made in the pacts are a little more numer ous and important than had been look' ed for. workers for a lazy man will never be satisfied here. Oregon City aud Clackamas County through the Com merclal Club extend to people of the first type mentioned all that can be pictured in advertising matter, but to the man without plans and ambition we cannot offer much encouragement. OUR "RIVAL" TO BE It has remainded for a split-county booster to tell us through the columns of the Oregonian that we have a rival, or that we fear rivalry. The time is the future, the place Is Estacada and the girl is the creation of a new county. County division was pretty well set tled two years ago, by the people of Oregon by an overwhelming vote, yet there are communities that have aspirations, and seek to convince their people that a separate county gov ernment can be maintained without an Increase in taxation, .already too high. The article referred to has its humor and follows: "The movement for the division of Clackamas County and the formation of a new county out of the eastern part, with Estacada as the county seat, has been renewed. A meeting was held at Estacada Thursday night w hen a number of addresses were I When Col. Bryan Intimated to the Democratic politicians that he was not much of a coffee drinker he did not mean to convey the impression that he would never pass his cup again. Seven different candidates for pres ident are maintaining headquarters at Washington. Running for office is geting to be one of our national pas times. It is remarked that though men may come and men may go the gov ernment runs right along. Rather say that men will come and men must go. Nature has never provided for an Indispensable Individual. A Colorado baby has been born with four teeth. In the era of cart ridge biting this would have been called a sign of war. Perhaps It means now that the cost of living Is to be reduced or defied. Any sort of popgun tarlfl bill can be put through the Democratic House caucus but fortunately for business the Senate and president have the power to overrule the raw experi ments in playing politics.

Hill, president of the Great North cm Railway, killed a wild goat which had a span of horns measuring thirty-one inches across, yesterday. Mrs. Hill left on horseback for a ride to the west side of the Island. Im mediately after the news was received here, Louis Hill, Jr., the oldest son of the railroad magnet, commenced his plans to best his father's reported record. It had been arranged to takt the little fellow horseback to .Middle ranch Tuesday. Several times while practicing with the rifle the boy has proved himself an excellent marks man. 1 he boy believes that he win be successful In getting a great head. OF NEW YORK, March 18. Every available detective at police head quarters Is searching today for the man who attempted to kill Judge Otto A. Rosalsky on Saturday night with an infernal machine, sent him through the malls. Similarity of the typewriting on the package and the manufacture of the missile to that which caused the death on February 3 last of Helen Taylor at her homo on Seventy-seventh street has led to the opinion that the same man sent both bombs. 32 ARE KILLED IN SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 18. At lean thirty-men were kiled and parts of their bodies strewn for blocks when a big passenger locomotive in the Southern Pacific shops blew up here this morning. The locomotive stood in a square formed by the cooper-house, black smith shop and roundhouse, all of which were wrecked. A part of the locomotive crashed Into a house sev eral blocks away and seriously hurt a woman. Twenty of the bodies have been identified, but what Is believed to be twelve more Is little more than a tangled mass of fragments of human flesh and bones that probably never will be separated. These fragments were found Jam med Into crevasses about the wreck ed building In the streets, and entang led In the machinery of the shops.

Smith, Stokes, Umg und the rest of last year's diamond ex perts ire ready for the season to be gin, and no doubt the Oregon City baseball team will keep up Its spleiid Id record established in past years, Probably the most important item which comes up each year Is the se curing of new uniforms balls, bats and other necessities. It has been the custom In the past to solicit Milan clal aid from the business men tho town to help defray tho cost of these necessary items .and perhaps the hardest task of the team man ager Is tho asking of financial help, as, nt tne best, it is rattier einnar rasslng to go from man to man ask lug for money . In order to render all possible as. slstance to the boys In their worthy cause the Enterprise presents a plan whereby they may secure an ado- nuate sum or money necessary to fully eaulo the team with new mil forms, bats, and a goodly supply o! balls Let the team nominate one of their popular players as the base tall team's candidate In the big Kii terprlse automobile contest now rmi- nlng. and with every member of the team wcrklng and boosting for the! candidate the winning of the big aut amabll't will almost be an assured fact The new Ford will be awarded to the entrant having tho most votes ly June Gth and every citizen In tho city would join tho ball team In their efforts to land the prize. The auto represents $785 cash, and no doubt the machine will be Immediately sold for over $750, which would be ample to outfit the entire team with the best of everything. The team deserves and needs tho supiKirt of tho peopl of this city and this plan would be a unlq le way for the people to show their apreciation of the team by sifli porting its candldato in this mighty nterestlng race. $7j0 would really be more than would be needed to prop erly equip the team but tho balance of that sum could bo used In Improv rig the ball grounds. If the boys want to put up a presentable appear ance this season, this opportunity to obtain a new, complete outfit merits consideration. With the backing of ich member of the team, It would only be a matter of a few days till the team's candidate would be ablo to make a creditable showing In the standing of the candidates. Just nlno more days In which to win the $15 merchandise certlllcato on the J.

Miss Mctoru and Sheahan already have one vie torv to their credit .which apparent ly makes them an me more anxious to annex another prize, wuson ann Brown are also out to win this time, and the result Is very uncertain. Next Saturday, the- free vote day, is sure to bring out a bunch of -reserve bal lots" as the 2,000 free votes are desir ed by every entrant. Every day now sees more new auto mobile sappearing on the street wh? h only intensifies the desire of every entrant in the race to "make good" and become the happy owner of a Ford, now waiting a claimant at tho Elliott garage. v S A A I f ;r vv m. m m m D. v ID) A rnMfiHD? mrnm AbsoIutely Puref MAKES HOME BAKING EASY Light Biscuit Delicious Cake Dainty Pastries Fine Puddings Flaky Crusts The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream ol Tartar TAFT LAUDED AND COLONEL SCORED (Continued from pago 1) Grocery Store Sold A.

Mr. Fulton said that Taft was the only President who reullied tho Im portance of settling the tariff ques tion In a business way. His tariff commission, tho sKaker declared, would see that the Interests of nil tho people were subserved when the schedules wore prepared. There would be no haphazard work In the future. "I admire the Independence shown by the President In his appointments to tho Judiciary," said Mr. Fulton. "Regardless of party or person.il In terests ho selected tho man he thought best for tho position. This Is as It should be. lie named Mr. Justice Whit" a Democrat, Chief Justlco, be cause h knew him to bo the best man for the place.
