f-f ama canal America "may feet that she

. "Why should the phrase, 'de facto'
be applied to the. government of the
republlo 'br Portugal T' ttacadb " said,
"any more than to the' government of
republic of: the United States t Both
of them derive their powers in the
, samwsource -th will of the people."
In the organization of the perman
ent government of Portugal, tyachedo j
said that the framers of the constitu
tion would probably be governed more
by the French parliamentary , model
than by the American system admit
ting -rbat 'tlbe other systems place
too much power . In one man's hand,
said he:- "What we proposed .tp'do Is,
to give the people through a' Just -gov.
ernment, an opportunity to , lmp'rove
their own condition," " . I- .. .
To this end there will be no attempt
to lower the exorbitant tax rate 1 Jn
Portugal but a serious effort will be
made to give the people honest return
on their money. . ' ": ; .
The people are accepting the dic
tum In a way that can only lead to
trouble. If thw trouble falls to lnw
prove conditions, the people are sure
to turn against the present govern
ment. There will be another revolu
tion and another provisional govern
men Republican ; again but ,Jt will
surely be a wprse. government than
the present one, for there are literal
ly not enough competent . and incor
ruptible' men In Portugal to form an
other && good as the present one. So,
I am convinced there wlll'be succes
sive upsets until some man steps Into
the situation with the strength enough
to establish order by, the use of force.
Machedo says Portugal has no "ag
gressive military plans'' for; the future
and that while the constitutional con
vention will likely provide -for brief
compulsory military service, the army
will be maintained forronly defensive
purposes and for use In the colonies.
There is absolutely no chance of Por
tugal forming a union with Spain,
Machedo says.
One thing that Machedo convinced
me of that there will be no res
toration er ex-King Manuel, no matter
what the outcome of Portugal's gov
ernmental efforts are.
Nor are there any Indications of the
slightest hope for the pretender, Don
Miguel. His name is hardly mentioned
In Portugal. . .." ' ; -
While the possibility of a leturn to
monarchy may be slight, there is dan-

A. V. Andrews came down from La'

or who had worked in' his tallo. strop
;at La' Grande, and who decamped tajr
before yesterday with a Bum of money
belonging to his employer.'
.Andrews sure did find his man. , He
located hlin In the tailor shop of F.
J. Hubeer, where he had gone seeking
employment Andrews went after him
and gave htm a thorough sufflng, the
tailor Anally giving him the slip and
bolting down Main street breaking all
records. He made the door of Sllven's
tailor shop in nothing at all, shot
through the back door, and Is suppos
ed to e going yet '. ' "t ,
Andrews wasn't after the morosy so
much as he was after a!lttl self sat
isfaction, with -wh'ch he was' surely
rewarded in large and copious quanti
ties. And say how that boy did sprint.
Arthur Duffy In his prime never could
have (equaled the record he made from
Huber's shop to Sllven's. He made
the distance in three Jumps, which aure
is going some. , (

Still ''another and perhaps the last
chapter was written today when the
Winder funeral was held.
' Public sympathy to the murdered
women was shown by the number of
costly floral decorations at the funer

important part In the funeral services.
In sharp contrast, to the respect paid
the women's memories yesterday is the
services of the murderer and suicide
today. His memory is discussed with
bitter feeling and few others than rel
