OREGON CITY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1903
There is a lull in politics just now
but it is only the lull before a storm
President Roosevelt will return
tothe White House on September
26.
There are many indications that
the strenuos energy or me rresi
dent is needed in Washington,
While thev love to ridicule him,
the Republicans are at heart very
much afraid of Hon. lorn Jonnson.
Secretary Hitchcock cannot un
derstand why all this fuss is being
made over the swindling of a few
Indians.
Hetty Green announced that she
changes her residence frequently in
order to avoid "cranks Is that an
other name for landlords?
George W. Beavers has been in
dieted for nearly two montns has
never been arrested. What influ
ence is back of Beavers?
A corner in lard promises tofol
low the corner in cotton. This
will afford Secretary Wilson an op
portunity for another homily.
It is nonsense to predict that
Dick Croker will return to New
York soon. What could Cro
ker get under a Low administration?
When Congrees meets and dis
covers that Secretary Hitchcock has
resumed the position of sole trustee
for the Kiowa town-site funds there
will be some lively sessions.
Employes at the Government
Printing Office regardthe demand
that they take the oath of office as
an evidence that they are about to
be defeated in the Miller case.
Senator Hanna is not the first poli
tician for whose stomach Ohio Re
publican politicians have proved
too strong a diet. The doctors have
ordered Mr. Hanna to keep quiet for
several months.
Secretary Shaw announces that
he Is going to loan the banks $40,
000,000 this fall and take state,
county and municipal bonds asse
surity. The Secretary needs no
Aldrich bill. He is a law unto him
self. Evidences of the gigantic frauds
being practiced on the Indians of
the five civilized tribes continues to
multiply. Meanwhile, Secretary
Hitchock is concerning himself with
who is responsible for the existence
of the abuses.
Many officials of the Department
of Justice have been charged with
betraying their trust and with con
niving against the very people they
are employed to protect, but the
Attorney General is enjoying a long
vacation and nothing is being done,
The St. Louis Exposition officials
have just arranged to import the
largest gas engine in the world. It
will be built in Belgium and will have
3,000 horse power. Too bad the
exposition authorities could not have
captured Senator Burton. It would
have been so much cheaper-
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, re
cently had to stand on a station
platform hungry while Booker
Washington and several negro
friends occupied the dining car.
When asked later what he had for
breakfast the Senator responed,
"Bacon and red hot Bacon too."
Stagnation has struck the Post
office "investigation". Nearly two
months have passed without any
developments. One othcial has
been suspended and has performed
no work since the 25th of April and
Rand, Payne's "confidential clerk
has been absent since July 3rd,
but both continue to draw their
salaries.
It is reported that the completion
of the Brazilian coffee plantations,
tnapthpr with exhaustion of the
soil, is driving xne conec niuuaujf.
out of Java. It is a well known '
factthat there is not a pound ot
Java coffeo on the American mar
ket and has not been for years.
Armthpr instance of suicide by a
nrivato in the German army be
cause of the tyranny of a petty
a petty officer riasjustcome xo ngm.
The official report says, -ne com
mitted suicide by the common de
vice of exploding a blank cartridge
in a rifle, the barrel 01 wmui was
filled with water."
With one or two more instances
similar to that when Senator Bacon
hari tn nn uithnnt his breakfast be-
cause Booker Washington and other
negroes were occuping the dining
car, the railroads will find them
selves confronted with Jim Crow
dining dining car laws in the south
ern states.
Out of 1,000 cargoes of European
food products shipped to this coun
try and examined by the Depart
menf ot Agriculture, no single in
stance of adulteration has been dis
covered, from which it is argued
that the pure food laws enacted by
the last Congress have proved su
ficient to prevent Europeans from
attempting to market aldulterated
floods in this county.
REPUBLICAN PARTY ON TRIAL.
When Caleb Powers sought con
tributions from postmasters through
out the country he.delared that the
Republican party in Kentucky was
on trial, The evidence recently
produced at the trial seems to bear
out theassertion.
Youtsey produces an agreement
signed by Powers "waiving the
truth or falsity" of an affidavit
made by Youtsey for the assistance
of Powers after both were con
victed. In the agreement Powers
promises not to make the affidavit
public and return it within fifteen
days. The affidavit was given at
the instance of a federal official,
whose name Youtsey gives a fed
eral official, who was a son of a Re
publican judge and who desired the
affidavit to use with Republican
members of the court of appeals to
secure a new trial for Powers.
Youtsey's testimony is strength
ened by this paper and it will be
difficult for anyone, after reading
it, to deny that the killing of Goe
bel was a political conspiracy
formed among Republican officials
and carried out with a shameless
nessthat would disgrace an absolute
monarchy.
Will Durbin still refuse to give
Taylor up? His rigid enforcement
of the law against those who inter
fete with the rights of the black
man is all right, but this will not
atone for his refusal to deliver up a
prominent Republican who is in
dicated for the assassination of a
Democratic governor.
It raises a new race question if a
man must be black in order to re
ceive consideration from a Republi
can governor.
NEBRASKA CONVENTION.
I
The Democratic state convention
held at Columbus, Neb., August 25,
was an enthusiastic gathering. The
Kansas City platform was reaf
firmed and state issues were metand
dealt with in true democratic spirit.
Judge John J. Sullivan, now chief
justice of the Nebraska supreme
court, was renominated.
Judge Sullivan has made a good
record and adhered to the rule
which in his speech of acceptance
be laid down for the guidance of all
judges that the one thing above all
others that should characterize the
conduct of a judge is "independent
absolute judicial independece."
The nominees for regent of the
state university, William O. Jones
of Adam county and Dr. E. O.
Weber of Saunders county, are good
men. Professor Jones is well
known as an educator, although he
is not now actively engaged in
educational work. He is a man of
large experience and an energetic
student. Dr, Weber is a young
man who stands high among his
neighbors; and should these gentle
men be elected, it may be depend
ed upon they will contribute
materially tothe welfare oftNebras
ka's university.
Fusion between the two parties
was accomplished without difficulty
Indeed, the populist convention had
nominated Judge Sullivan before
the democratic convention at
Columbia had reached that order in
the proceedings,
So far as the public welfare is con
cerned, n comparison is to be made ,
between the ticket chosen atGrand :
Island and at Columbus and the1
ticket chosen by the .republican
party. Several weeks before the
republican convention nominated
Mr. Barnes, tor judge of the su-,
preme court.it was generaliy under
stood that Mr. Barnes was thejehoice
of tne railroad lobby. Judge Sulli
van did not ask, indeed, did not
desire a renomination but he could
not avoid the honor and it came to
him because the democrats and
populists of Nebraska' recognize
that it is important to the people of
this state that Judg Sullivan be re
elected, He owes his renomination
to the good record he has made
during six years of faithful services
on the supreme bench of the state,
and if the people of Nebraska fail
to indorse that record at the polls,
the people will in the end be the
losers.
PLAYING FOR TRUST SUPPORT.
Every Republican who imagines
that Mr. Rooseveli is really de.
termined to "shackle cunning as in
the past we have shackled force,"
and that he is willing to stand for
the people's interests against the
schemes of the financiers and the
trusts magnates should read the
interesting dispatch printed in the
Chicago Record-Herald of Monday
August 24, from Walter Wellman,
its Washington correspondent.
Mr, Wellman says: 'i The" im
portant point and the new point is
that President Roosevelt is behind
this currency reform scheme push
ing as only he knows how to push.
He organized and promoted the
effort." And then Mr. Wellman
asked. "Why is President Roose
velt so much interested in currency
reform."
Mr. Wellman 's reply to his own
question is so interesting that it
deserves the widest possible publi
cation. He says:
"Mr. Roosevelt's masterly skill
as a politician has been employed
so successfully that no one suspects
he is a politii lan the best test in
the world. Having become the
most popular man in the United
States and having won the enthusi
astic approval of the masses by his
fight upon the trusts and the corpora
tions, Mr. Roosevelt not long ago
began to cast about for methods by
which he might even up. He had
the people with him, buUhe trusts,
the corporations, the financial lead
ers, the bankers were hostile. This
hostility was centered in New York.
It chanced that in New York and
among these very people there was
a general ahd earnest desire for a
reformation of our currency system.
The president has gone in for that
reformation with his accustomed
ardor and energy, and it will tiot
be his fault if the financial people
of New York do not soon look on
him with more favor."
It is generally understood that
Mr. Wellman is nearerto the Roose
velt administration than any other
newspaper correspondent. Certain
ly no correspondentis more friendly
to that administration than is Mr.
Wellman; and it is interesting to
be told by this administration cor
respondent that"feelingthathe has
the trusts and the corporation's."
Mr. Roosevelt proceeds to display
his "masterly skill as a politician
by seeking to win over to him the
representatives of the trusts and
the corporations,
According to this administration
correspondent, Mr. Roosevelt dis
covered "that in New York and
among these very people, the trusts
and corporations, there was a gener
al and earnest desire for a reforma
tion of our currency system," and
also that "the president has gone
in for that reformation with his
accustomed ardor and energy and
it wjll not be his fault if the financial
people of New York bo not soon
look upon him with more favor "
A very frank and candid confes
sion, indeed, and perfectly in line
with the idea which Democrats
generally have entertained of Mr.
Roosevelt's disposition to "shackle
cunning as in the past we have
shackled force."
A Communication.
Mr. Editor Allow me to speak a few
words in favor of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. I suffered for three years
vlth the bronchitis and could not sleep
at nights. I tried several doctors and
various patent medicines, but could get
nothing to give me any relief until my
wife got a bottle of this valuable medi
cine, which has completely relieved me.

PROFESSOR T. C. ATKESON.
Mauler of the Went Virginia State
Grange.

West Virginia state grange, grow up

In that state has been most valuable,
and he has been nonored with Severn!
important offices In- his state grange.
He was elected assistant steward of
the state grange in 1882, secretary in

which office he held continuously until

elected master of the state grange in
January, 1897; re-elected in February,
1899, and January, 1901. As a member
of the state grange legislative commit
tee he prepared the bill creating the

ed a member of the board April 1, 1891
and has been continuously reappointed
He was elected professor of airier I
tu re at the West Virginia university 1:

West Virginia university in May, 1897,
for a term of six years, and In June fol
lowing he was elected dean of the col
lege and professor of agriculture, which
position he now holds.
A SUGGESTIVE PLAN.
To Promote Interest In Grange Work
and Increaae Membership.
Sometimes it seems to be necessary
to Introduce new methods for awak
ening a flagging interest in grange at
tendance and grange work. While con
tests between members or committees
may not always be commendable, yet
so good an authority on grange work
as Mrs. Sarah G. Balrd, master of Min
nesota state grange, has recommend
ed the following, which was tried with
good results in a Minnesota grange:
' Two ladies chose sides as in a spell
ing match. The contest lasted three
months, with two meetings each
month. The side beaten furnished a
good supper. The secretary acted as
umpire and remarked that care must
be taken not to do anything which
would cause the members to get too
much credit or be offended. The sides
alternated in furnishing a programme,
each having a chance to score a maxi
mum of 160 points at one meeting. In
addition to this, the attendance of each
persou at a meeting counted 10. The
Bide which had the most at roll call
got 80. The roll was called at 8:30 p.
m. An application counted '00. An
essay counted 25; a crop report by
farmer counted 30. He could secure
four men to speak on it with a credit
of 5 points each. In a similar manner
a lady could write an essay and se
cure four ladies to discuss It Select
reading counted 10, a recitation 15, a
dialogue 20, a wedding 100. This con
test brought sixty-five applications for
membership. The plan can be varied
to suit conditions.
Grang-e Fire Insurance In Connecti
cut. The last annual report of the Pa
trons' Mutual Fire Insurance company
of Connecticut shows a most gratifying
condition of business, says Secretary
Bacon in the New- England Home
stead. Last year 128 new policies were
written covering $257,000 Insurance.
The premiums on these were $1,765.
Expiring insurance renewed during the
year amounted to $424,704, the premi
ums upon which were $3,770. The to
tal insurance written was $782,382, on
which the premiums were $5,535. The
total outstanding risks Dec. 31, 1902,
were $2,014,410. the premiums on the
