MORE COMING. - Francis J. Hsaey delivered an ad dress to White Temple church, Port' 'toad. Sunday evening, on "Good Gov ernment," .. Over three thousand per Mi gathered early to bear him, ex- pectin that tie would have something mere to say about Senator Pulton The) only reference he made to the awator was when speaking of rail- read, as follows: "Roosevelt see that In the almost altsnKed powtr of the railroad to has exorbitant rates for moving rr ttomassdIU, amounting to a tax eel the producer, there Is danger un less dies corporations are regulated by a strong arm. Roosevelt Is for re rotation first If that does not step- this growing evil, then I am for government ownership. Rockefeller hi worth $1,000,000,000 and began with an oil field. A small group of men In this country own all of the on fields, the coal that Is In the mines, all the gold and silver, all the vast water powers In our states, all of our forests from the Mississippi to the Pacific ocean. The American people are too prodignl; they -can't give away these things quick enough. Roosevelt Is trying to stop It, and your senators are trying to stop him from trying to stop It." "Fulton?" Buggexted a voice In the audience. "I did not tell at the church the other night one-half about Fulton that I know. I am waiting for his reply.." Poor Oregon!

It u.mM nui-ivi ono of the greatest obstacles that un der present conditions destroys mud 'of the usefulness of our launiakert If these offices were elective, or tin appointive, or rather, the recommend ing power was left to a commission, and our delegation would he rellevet tt tbJa worry and responsibility. Our education has been along the line that unless a senator or congressman could dictate and deliver the federal plums, his day of usefulness was a thing of the past. He could be to tally void of statesmanship, but If hr could deliver the offices to the boys. lie was the man that was taking rare . of the interests of Oregon and the MORAL; COWARDS. Mr. Ueney .prefaced his Sunday night address tjry contrasting the Port land Of today lth the Portland he first visited in i03. At that time gambling was being carried on open ly. He remarked that kt was not ap parent tht thscKjr. had suffered any loss of business from having closed the gambling hduscs. Be said tha. the other large cities' of the country could t testify to the same experience ind (inserted that the gamblers. of Wall street had been fattening on the life-blood of the nation until Presi dent Roosevelt had concluded recerrtly to put a stop to their operations. "The American people are lacking In mural courage," charged Mr. He ney, "not In physical courage. There Is never any trouble in raising an ar my on short notice to go out and face guns; death has no terrors for the American soldier, but when It comes to the mere doing right for the sim ple reason that It Is right, we fin that there are more moral cowards than there are brave men. The rea son corruption exists In all of th large cities of the United States Is be cause we Americans are not yet suf ficiently Intelligent In the matter of self-government. "Let me say right now that San Francisco never was much worse, any worse than each and every other large city In the United States; and t could leave the word 'large' off and not miss the mark far." This city and county are under great obligations for the excellent service rendered by W. A. Worsted voluntary keeper of the weather rec ords. Mr. Worstell for more than seven year has kept an accurate rsc ord of the weather conditions, each and every day, without any remuner ation whatever. The government fur- nishee the proper Instruments, record booka and necessary blanks. Over seven years ago Mr. Worstell reoehred a book sufficiently large to contain the complete record for 10 years and therein are recorded each day's tem perature and precipitation sloee h was received. Mrs. Worstell Is entl tied to due credit also, for undoubted ly she has been a Interested in assist Ing In keeping the record aa Mr. Wor stell, and It ll safe to say that she has lost many days valuable time during these seven years had the time been recorded as carefully as are the weather reading!, In answering tale phone cslut from interested persons desiring to know "How cold II was last night." If Is a valuable record. The school children of Spokane have 133, 69 In savings bunk depos its. Much might be said In way of encouraging the youth to open bank accounts. It gives them a practical Idea in economy and what It means o save their ptnnies and nickels. Several years ago there was quite a general campaign of education all over the country which did much good. It would be Interesting to know how many of the young people and ortlldrcn of this city have such depos- ts anil the total amounts so deposit ed.
