Daniel Hess, who died at Vernonl rc. eenlly, watoiie pf the vciv few who reach the great age of over cue hundred years, though it is claimed by fcientkts that man sliould live at least that Ion?, jf irocr caro is taken as to the manner of living, fly all accounts Mr. Iless'a life was a useful one. He fiHed uo great sjmce in tho history of the StaU or the connt.v, but the record is "that he had been a Christian for more than seventy years, faithful and consistent ;" and that ho was loved and respect! by all w ho knew him had no enemies and many friends. Probably he was of wore bene fit to his fellow men than many of those who occqpy a more exalted place in the temple of fame. The influence of seven ty years of life devoted to the high ideals ol Christianity cau not be estimated. During all that major portion, of a cen- tory those who came in contact with 1 him have realized that his life was in-1 uenced and controlled by the ct ! teacher of Galilee, and it must have evoked in many of them a respect for I these teachings, the effects of which are I not always seen in those who profess to j be guided by them. The sinking to rest j of such a. man is not to be regretted. Not dootit he was perfectly willing to go, j and, whatever doubt there can be as to the future state, there can be no doubt either among Christians or cvolationists ' that Daniel Hess made proper prepara tion for the life to come, and even those who believe that this world is all there is of life must admit that the Christian belief which they are pleased to term a delusion was a source of happiness to the aged disciple. What a wonderful thing it mast have been to be able to pass in mental re f iew the events of a century, crowded as this Ins been, with the great achieve ments of science and the progress of nankind. Born in 1S05, seven years prior to the war of 1812, with great Brit ain, be has seen our country grow from one of the weakest to the greatest nation do earth, He has seen the liberation of the slaves, the adoption of the great war amendments, and the development t( our country into a world power. Dur ing hrs lifetime the course of empire has steadily pursued its western path, and, bad he lived two years more, the still peas of bis mountain home would have been broken br the locomotive's whistle and the whirr of activity that will come in every branch of business with the opening up to commerce of the Nebalem Talley. But the clangor of the new day will not disturb his sleep. His long and Useful life is ended and he rests serene a the pjotaiee of the life to come.

SWIM MWOtS M HI TCMk CANDIDATE EOR REPUBLICAN NOMINA TION AS STATE TREASURER ! . ,tlv 1 V.',- A' . J ,'-.y y ROOSEVELT'S DEFEAT. The President has been compelled to surrender to the United States Senate and consent to amendment of the rail toad rate bill in accordance with the wishes of Senators Aldrich, Dolliver, and the other railroad representatives who bold, control in that body and may be relied upon to resist any effort mada in behalf of the people to secure justice from the great corporations. It is a dis tinct defeat for Mr. Roosevelt and due warning to the people that so long as United Senators are elected by the cor porations tbey will do their master's bidding. Nothing else could have been expected. The House is elected by the people and every two years Us members niubt come back to the people for re-election. Therefore tbey are influenced to a great extent by the popular demands of the people. They do not move hastily, but whenever public opinion is formed ppou bo great a question as the control pf railroads the House may be expected to respond to tho wishes of the people, especially when they are so strenuously advocated by the President of the United (States. Rut the Senate cares nothing lor the President or the public. It Ukee delight in showing Mr. Roosevelt that he is absolutely powerless to do any thing without its consent. According fo the prees despatches, Senator Bulliver is now to amend the railroad rate bil w as to "protect the rights pf the cor potations." What this means the peo ple are well aware, and yet' there are men in Oregon who object to Statement N. 1. If we had a United States Senate elected under Statement No. 1, the railroad late bill would now be a law hist as it came from the House, with the approval of the President. Mr. Roosevelt's motive in surrendering to the Senate is not hard to find. He has pot become convinced of the correctness pf the railroad senators' views, but he no.ws b,e cannot nernr full justice for the people, and, like a wise man, he (idies the best he can get.

The Legislature of the Slate of Ohio, recently adjourned, among other reform measures, abolished he prison contract system. Or -gon has this system, and one of the first rets of the next LogUla of this State Bhould be to abolish it and put the convicts to work on the public roads wherever practicable. The State convicts are let to the firm of Goldsmith A Loewenber;, stove manufacturers, at a rate less than it costs to board a free man, and their work enters iato unfair competition with that of any manufac turer who desires to establish a stove factory in this State. The contract has been the source of considerable trouble and scandal, and it is safe to say it will not be surrendered without a fight. The foundry is looted within the prison walls, and a guard there is afways in danger of his life. It was in the foundry that the Tracey and Merrill outbreak started, and it has always been and al ways will be, a menace to the institu tion. Such men as Tracey and Merrill should never be used as a means of revenue for the State. It is better for them to be put at unproductive labor and let the less dangerous, short term criminals, be give an opportunity to work npon the public highways. A con. vict's time is worth at least $1.50 ier daynd there is a great waste lettiag it to a firm of stove manufacturers at less than 50c per day, to say nothing of the injustice done the manufacturers who employ free labor. JVDCE TH0S. E. RYAN, OF OREGON CITY Born in Rhode Island 40 yeara ago Juilce Rvan came to Oregon in his ?lt year and entered into the employ of the Brownsville Woolen Mills Co. at its hie torv at Brownsville. The following year he went to Oregon City where he has inr resided, lie Iies been elected an Mayor, City Recorder, and School P! rector aud Clerk of Oregon City nud for the last seven vears Conntv Judge) of Clackamas County, in which position he has proveu himself to be an exception-1 able business man, paying on an inuvui edness of over $200,000, and at tho same time each year constructing many miles of good, improved, modern roads, and decreasing the tax levy each year. In an interview Judge Ryan says: "Being neither president, cashier, or stockholder in any. bnnk orasent or em ployee of any money loaning institntwn I pledge myself to use and guard the funds of the 6tato in a strict conform ity to the laws of the state Btid for the ii.terest of all the people and not discri minate in favor of any institution or person. As a man of tho people, inde pendent of any cliuue, faetbn or torpo- ratiou I request the support ot n!l Ke publicans ia securing this nomination, aud if elected I promise to perform every duty required of the State Treasurer in on efficient and economical maimer." THE PARCELS POST. President Roosevelt 'and Postmaster General Cortelyou, acting under their authority to regulate foreign postage, by accepting the provisions of the World's Postal Union, made it possible to send a four-pound parcel of merchandise from Snn Francisco to London, England, for forty-eight cents. It would cost sixty- four cents to send the same parcel to Los Angeles. Isn't that ridiculous? And yet it is so. A parcels po3t ia perfectly feasible. Some thirty three countrys are now carrying merchandise throngh the mail at extremely small charges. So it ia no uncertain experiment.Ii is a convenience to the people and a source of profit to the postal service of these countries. Ask yourself, what then stands between the American people and the parcels post? The Portland Labor Press contains the advertisements of twenty candidates for office, and it is not probable that any of them get off with less than $25 or f 30. It is very evident that the direct primary law is a good thing for the newspapers. In.tead of all the sioney going to the bosses and heelers, as heretofore, the pa pers of the State are getting paid for their space. It is to tbeir credit, how ever, that they have refused to partici. pate in any holdup, and candidates, as a rule, get the same rates as other advertisers. The Mist wishes to congratulate Hon. C. W. Fulton, Oregon's only senator upon his speech in support of the Hep- bivta bjill.lt was straight from the should er an,d to. the point, and it evidently pierced the cuticle of the distinguished railroad senator from Rhode Island. It is rather unusual for a new man from the West to have the moral courage to oppose the venerable fossils who, represent the corporations iu the. Senate oi the United States, and all the more credit is due Senator Fulton on that account. We trust be w-ill continue to advocate the peoples' cause against the railroad cor porations and to stand by the President whenever it is his duty to do sp, regard less of ay persojytf feeling. . .1311 HIS RECORD 13 HIS PLATFORM. The visit of Hon. J. R. Whitney to Douglas County, the pat week, has strengthened his political fences im mensely. People find him a businesslike taan, one who is able to stand upon bis record, and one who is amply able to fill the office to which he aspires. Mr. Whitney has been conducting the state printing office in a manner to at once commend th attention aud respect of all taxpayers of the state of Oregon. He is making the race on his record and hopes to win purely on merit. He is not a mud dinger, but accojds ta his opponents all the credit that is due them. By taking j ouch a fair, sensible course he is making friends on all sides. Roseburg News. Torture by Savage.
