will undoubtedly result in a more equita
ble recognition of the people's rights from
these great common carriers. This will
result in many new trade centers which
are now being held back through inequit
able rates. The time will come when
freight will be hauled on a mileage basis.
When thi is done every individual com
munity will stand on its own resources
and will not be made to pay tribute to
certain favored centers as now is the
case.

Mr. Bryan is not ha ing everything his
own way. Senator Bailey of Texas, a
Democratic leader of note, comes out
with the bold statement that he does
not believe that Mr. Bryan is sincere in
his advocacy of government ownership
of the railroads.
California for years shipped Oregon
apples under the brand of "California
fruit" and now Seattle is importing stale
eastern eggs and selling them under the
seductive label of "Fresh Oregon Eggs."
The critical buying public recognizes our
superior products and are easily deceived
for a time by such misrepresentations.
However there should be some way to

We have had cause to blush for shame
so often since so many of our represent
ative men have been convicted and sent
enced to the penitentiary for land frauds
that a few more or less will make no
difference. Let the good work go on, if
our public men have not sufficient honor
to represent their constituents, why should
we extend sympathy, when their theiving
is exposed. The day in Oregon is past
when a public trust can be recognized as I
a private graft.
Franklin P. Mays, who was convicted
yesterday comes from one of the honored
pioneer families of the state. He has
been honored with positions of trust, time
and again, but since the lime light of
publicity had been turned on his political
and criminal machinations there remains
little cause for regret at his personal
downfall.

There may be little real necessity for
the United States to send warships to
Cuba to look after the American inter
ests; but in spite of the lack of absolute
necessity the presence of the ships there
may have a good effect. It will show the
other republics that America is active in
looking after her own citizens. It is an
object lesson which may be of value.
The government while slow at times is
equally sure. It took the prosecutors
quite a while to get ail of their evidence
before the jury in the recent land fraud
case but when it finally went to the jury
it required oniy a few hours to bring in a
verdict. Special District Attorney, Fran
cs J. Henny, will certainly go down in
history as a terror to evil doers, and the
end is not yet.
