Hitchcock, Post-master-Oeneral in President Tuffs Cabinet. It Is bljr game he seeks, and it is no ordinary task to unseat a t'ahlnet oflicer. particularly when that offl.-er contributed as much as did UcJicock to the election of the Presi dent. Hitchcock is chairman of the Re publican National committee, and in that capacity directea the last National i-ampaisn. Naturally, the President owes him much. Notwithstanding1 this situation, liourne is on the warpath. The trouble ail grows out of the fact that i itch cock, as political advisor of the President, has attempted to pre vent the appointment of Populists and Hryanites to Federal office in Oregon. This is another way of saying" that Hitchcock has opposed the appointment of must of the men recommended by liourne. Only recentlj-, it is under stood, Hitchcock entered objection, to the appointment of I-. Hofer. of ialem. Or., ns Collector of internal revenue for the Oregon district, basing" his ob jection upon llofer's political record and his personal unpopularity. Party CJmh1 Consulted. Hitchcock maintains that "Federal of ficers should be Felected not alone with a view to the pood of the service, but the good of the party in power, and lie has object ed strenuously to re ward! r.g men who were out of har mony with the Administration, and par ticularly those who worked to prevent the nomination of Taft. Senator Hourne and Frank Hitchcock were once very close friends. That way in 1 1 1 e old days when liourne was whooping it up for a "second elective ti-rm," and Hitchcock, yielding to per suasion, had about concluded that the ountiy wanted four ywars more of lioosevell. Hut one day President Jloosevelt sent for Hitchcock, read the riot act to him and threatened to drop him from the Postoflice Department (he then being First Assistant Post mast er-t leiieral if he did not break away from Bourne and stop talking "second elective term" foolishness. Naturally, Hitchcock became convinced of t lie seriousness of President Itoose velt and straightway deserted Bourne, Newspaper Opens Fight. When Taft was elected and came into ofiice Bourne had declared allegiance to the new Administration and asked lor the appointment of his secretary, John C. Young, as postmaster at Port land. Hltchock knew of Young's anti Taft record and objected to his appoint ment. He did everytning in his power to keep Young out of the postofftce, hut the President overruled him and Young landed. From that day to this Bourne has been Hitchcock's bitter en emy, and his enmity grows more in tense as time goes on. Keeently Bourne, through a Washing ton newspaper in which he is a heavy stock holder. has demanded Hitch cock's scalp. He has declared that Hitchcock's political activities are r.ot doing the Administration any good, but are actually doing positive harm. Then, in characteristic way, he says: "It is not a pleasing spectacle to see the head of a great department endeavoring to build up a political ma chine," just as he talks at home, or, rather, in Oregon. And much more to the same effect. LIBERATI TO PLAY HERE Noted Jt.miliuastcr Is Arranging Summer Kngagement at Oaks.

ORBGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 9. Senator W. B. Heyburn, of Idaho, has done more talking on the floor of the Senate during the past four months than was ever before charged up against any single member of either branch of Congress in a like period of time. As an endurance talker he has broken all records, and his utterances thus far this session, if printed in a sin gle volume, would, it is estimated, fill fully 1000 printed pages. And he is still talking. Senator Heyburn addresses the Senate every day; frequently many times a day. His remarks nave ranged all the way from a dull dissertation upon the mean ing of an ordinary English word to a sensational bloody-shirt speech that gave him prominence on the front page of every newspaper in the country. He has discussed his own bills and the bills of others; he has debated questions of In terest to his state, and questions in which the Northwest had not the slight est concern. But seldom has he found anything to commend on the legislative programme save that which he himself has drafted. If there has been a single issue of the Congressional Record during the present session In which the name of Senator Heyburn has not appeared, that fact has escaped the attention of the of ficial reporters of debates and the "Wash, inton newspaper correspondents. By his persistent speaking Senator Hey burn has made many enemies in the Sen ate and done himself material injury. His one speech on the Lee statue estranged every Democrat and a number of Republicans in the Senate. But other utterances have tended to increase his unpopularity, particularly his filibusters on bills which he personally does not ap prove, though a majority of the Senate favors them, and wants an opportunity to pass them. Senators generally have become very tired of listening to Mr. Heyburn. Usu ally, when he rises to speak, most of them leave the chamber, and he ad dresses SO or more empty chaira. His manner of speech is not pleasing, for he is ever critical, frequently bitter, usually ill-tempered, and almost invariably petu lant. He has been dubbed by his col leagues "The Senate Scold." which per haps conveys as accurate an idea of his manner of speech as could be told In a column. Senators who are older in years and older in service than Heyburn do not appreciate being lectured, and they will not stay to listen; Senators who are younger have ohserved the custom of their older brethren and 'follow their ex ample. The consequence is that Senator Heyburn has as his audience only a few Senators interested in whatever measure may be pending, and who feel called upon to defend it against' his assaults when they become too rabid. Unless the senior Senator from Idaho mends his ways, he will come in for a rebuke at the hands of the 93nate prob ably several of them, on a par with the answer that was made to his protest against loaning army tents to the confed erate veterans. Senators are loath to condemn . f el tow-Senator, even though they disapprove of his methods, tire of listening to the sound of his voice, and repent his interference in legislation that does not properly or directly concern htm or his people. But there is always re course to the expedient once before ap plied when the Senate solidly voted agn inst Heyburn. It may do eo again. For this is. after all, the most effective rebuke and the most severe censure. And it raises the question. Is one Senator right and 01 wrong, or are the M right and the lone individual in error? alley Schools to Hold Track Meet. SAI.KM. Or.. April 9.

NEW YORK, April 9. Mayor Gaynor's recent order against "dummy" musi cians in the various music stands, where the city has paid for music while the bogus musicians went through the mo tion of playing, has resulted in the revel ation of some secrets of the trade. According to the "confession" of an employe of a firm that made a specialty of manufacturing Instruments for the purpose of deceiving the public, a favor ite scheme among the bands in the city park was the introduction of a "second bass drum." At first the drum had merely a hole in the framework, and was used to carry the lunches of the bands men. Then a bright idea struck the maker and the drum was built so as to hold in separate compartments frankfur ters, sandwiches and beer. Then the bass horn In similar style was perfected, with automatic stopper, guar-. anteed to hold four gallons of liquid re freshments. The ordinary allotment. It is said, was two horns and a bass drum to a band. Garden Hides Bad Money Plant. YORKERS, N. X., April ' 9. Secret Service men who have been at work In this section for some weeks past have unearthed a rich counterfeiters cache on a farm near Highlands, N. Y. The stuff, which was found buried several feet beneath the surface of a vegetable garden, Includes several thousand sheets of paper in which the silk threads of the Government paper are cleverly imitated; a dozen boxes of blue and red inks, an old printing press and enough cartridges to destroy a small army.

Humplireys' Seventy-Seven Famous Kemedy for Grip & "Colds are caused by a sudden sur face chilling of the skin." This makes the bloodvessels of the skin contract. When the skin bloodvessels contract, the bloodvessels in other parts of the body become congested. This state of congestion permits the microbes, which, in every person, gradually collect, on the outside of the mucous membrane, to get in deeper and begin their mis chievous work. When the membrane is normal there are a lot of microscopic cells which keep the germs from enter ing the circulation. But as soon as the membrane become Irritated these micro scopic cells are swept away and the membrane is unprotected."

Two Cars FfaodlciraLft Foroatore FOR RESTFUL PORTLAND HOMES DIRECT FROM THE SHOPS OF L. & J . G. STICKLEY FAYETTEVILLE, N. Y. Library Table at $22.00 This table is of solid oak, and has that finish in the fumed found only in the L. & J. G. Stick ley productions. Top measures 2iy2 inches by 37 inches. Has full-length shelf, 10 ins. wide, and also full-length drawer. There's a steadily increasing demand for this prac tical and popular type of furniture. The need today is simplicity of environment. The rush and worry of modern life demand as a counteracting influence a home atmosphere that is restful, harmonious and sim ple. Much of the furniture seen in modern homes is merely a reflection of modern life, bewildering in its complexity of form, crowded with ornament, and taw dry in color. Homebuilders turn with relief to the type . of furniture produced in the Handcraft shops, a type . that possesses simplicity of design and of coloring, and is restful to eye and brain. The solid oak used is given tones of brown and green by a process that preserves the natural beauty of the grain, anticipating effects that it takes Nature years to achieve, and making chairs and tables that are at once old friends. The leathers employed for coverings are selected for their durability and their beauty of grain, and are obtained in the varying colors found in forest and field. The metal work used is dulled and modulated in color until copper and brass assume the soft tones of age. The L. & J. G. Stickley productions are conceded to be the best examples of Handcraft Furniture. Shown exclusively in Portland on our floors.
