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.

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.

rtUSOX CONTRACT LABOR.
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.

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.
