' A national convention la like an
election; you never ran tell bow it Is
going .until It has gone. Whllo Taft
and the peerless Bryan now havo re
ceived such endorsement aa to make
jhem practically the only men In the
race for the presidential nominations,
It ia barely possible that black horses
-will make their appearance. Johnson
adherents have not thrown up the
ghost In democratic ranks; and there
sura members of the republican party
who still believe Roosevelt will be
nominated and that Hughes and La
Folletlo each have a fighting chance.
v. . see t
It was hot La Follntte'a fault that
the conference report on the "Faith
cure" currency bill was adopted. The
Wisconsin senator who, by the way, Is
aoms sightly presidential timber, Sen
ators Gore of Oklahoma, and Stone of
Missouri, have placed their names on
the slate of the senate's famous.
These three men Justly believed that
the amended currency bill was Inade
quate, dangerous and very much un
- desirable. That the conference re
port passed was because human en
durance gave out.
e.
-Judging from expressions heard on
very turn, the fanatics, cranks and
Irresponsible gentlemen of western
Oregon will be frustrated In their ef
forta to put the "kibosh" on tha unl
versify appropriation. It la only to be
hoped tha returns tomorrow will
abow, not alone a victory, but auch
sua overwhelming majority that no
man ever again dare meddle with a
conservative appropriation to the
state's principal school of learning.

On Saturday the first, second and

eral ships of the cruising squadron for
the annual winter cruise. The class
to be graduated will be the largest
that ever left the institution at any
one time before. It contains 200
member. The class of 1907 was larger
by eight members than this year's
class, but was graduated In three sep
arate divisions, one section of 86 re
ceiving Its diplomas In September,

graduated In February, 1907, while
the last section of 72 was graduated at
the regular time In June.
Practitioner Barred.
Washington, June 1. Six promi
nent Washington attorneys have been
disbarred from practice In the depart
ment of the Interior after today. It
Is alleged that they sought out otd sol
diers or their widows to whom land
grants had not been Issued and in
formed them that such land could be
had on application. When the war
rants were issued the lawyers advised
the holders that the land could be sold
at a nominal figure. In most cases
the veterans would agree, the land
becoming the property of" the lawyers,
who sold It at a large profit. The
lawyers disbarred are Thomas R
Harney and Eugene E. Stevens, form
ing the firm of Mllo B. Stevens A Co.;
Harvey Cpauldlng, Edwin W. Spauld-
Ing and James H. Spalding, forming
the firm of H. .Spalding A Sons, and
Edgar'P. Oaddls.

The motorist was working under his
machine when a farmer drove up.
After observing the rir, which stood
In the middle of the road, and meas
uKug the dlNtance to the ditches upon
either side, the farmer shouted:
"Hey! Can't you pull In a little, and
let me past?"
Tlie hammering ceased.
"How much?" anked the prustrute
num.
"About two feetil do."
The motorist ohlliilngly pulled In
his two protruding feet, and resumed
luunmetini; and sueuiing.
Concluding that Saturday would be
n belter day to go to town, anyway,
the farmer turned around, and drove
back home.

It Is generally understood that Har
ry 3. New of Indlann, chairman of the
national committee, is a Taft man, al
though the IS congress districts of his
state of Indiana have declared solidly
for y Ice-President Fairbanks and havt
Instructed for Fairbanks. Mr. Fair
banks and Mr. New, however, have
not hitched in recent years, and for
that matter the tie ; between Senator
Beverldge end Mr. Fairbanks Is not
of the stoutest kin.. Senator Hemen-
wav. Mr. Beveridae'a colleague, Is
sturdy In his fidelity to the vice-president.
White the Beverldge men say
that Fairbanks will get support from
Indiana on the first ballot, they Intl.
mate that It will be of the perfunc
tory "we expect to lose anyhow" kind
It la known that Mr. Fairbanks ia to
have a bunch of delegates from - the
southern states and expects support
from other quarters.
Between now and convention time
the struggle will be to control the na
tional committee. In times past, nota.
bly In 1884, the convention upset rec
ommendations of the national com
mittee. and In 1893 the antl-Harrlaon
men at first controlled the national
flonal committee only to lose it, and
aa a result scores of federal office-
