OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 1903.
Republican Officials
Are Indicted.
LABOR UNIONS ARE L1N1NQ UP
AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.
Quarrels Among Republican Factions
Continue in Delaware.
Washington, D. 0., Oct. 5, 1903.
The grand jury of Washington con
tinue lo tind indictments against W.
Bcoit Towers, head of one of the city
substations He in accused of taking a
commission on type-writer books Bold by
ft private company to the government.
It is said that he received $50 , on every
$200 paid for each of these, and that his
fees amounted to $1800. He has been
dieunneed by the postmaster general,
and is row awaitinu trial. The Repub
licans are afraid of the political effects
of the pOHl office scandaU and tneir
members in tiongress are now clamor
ing for a congressional investigation of
the entire department. They stat
openly tlmt tl.eir purpose is to fore
stall the Democrats and prevent their
making a political issue out of
theee evidences of Republican mal-ad-minis
ration It is said that the Presi
' dent wishes to name the investing com.
mitten', which he hopes will be author
ized by Congress. The Republicans
have adopted the same lactics with ref
erence to the lnc'ian scandals, as a com
mittee from both House and Senate will
go to the Territory and make an official
report of the state of affairs
President Ri.osevell'8 stand on the
question of Foreman Miller ol the gov
ernment printing office and on the"open
shop" in government employment, con
tinues to receive the attention of poli
ticians and labor men. In spite of the
cautious and conservative statement of
the exec utive council of the American
Federation of Labor, there are indica
tions that many lal'Or unions will join
issue iih Mr. RooHvelt and will show
their disapprobation at the polls. The
f resident held a conference last Tues
day with til's labor leaders and many
subjects were dtscUBsed, On the Miller
question, liowever, there seems to have
been but slight discussion as the Presi
dent simply infoimed the leaders of his
decision. In the statement issued im
mediately following the conir;.nce the
President declaied that Miller should re
main and that no discrimination
should be made between union and non
union labor in choosing employes of the
government. He added that the law
demanded this and that the fact of a
man's being a member of a union could
oo more be allowed to tell against him
than the fact ttiat he was a Catholic or a
Protestant, Jew or . Gentile, white or
colored. The Executive Council of the
Federation of Labor made no criticism
of the President's statement, but the
following day they issued an address to
organized labor of the country in wnicn
they Btated positively that the unions
would contend for the principle oi union
bops.
The radical men in the American Fed
eration. and they are numerous, bitter
ly oppose the President's attitude and
intend to bring up the question at the
coming annual convention of the Feder
ation in Boston, on November 8. They
declare that if President Roosevelt is a
true friend of labor and expects the la
borers vote he must make ttie same dis
crimination between union and non
union labor as he daily makes between
.Republicans and Democrats, lliey ar
gue that the labor unions must defend
their interests against a private em
ployer. The labor unions throughout
the country continue to pas? resolutions
condemning the action of the adminis
tration and they seem determined that
the President's statement shall not end
the controversy.
Our government is about to establish
trade roUtions with Abyssinia. Mr.
Robert P. Kkiuner, our consul genera; at
Marseilles, is now in Washington com
pleting preparations for his coining visit
to King Menelik, whom he will invite
to the tit. Louis Exposition, at the same
time urging him to make a commercial
agreement with the United States. Mr.
Skinner has seen the President and re
ceived from him a message of the pro
found consideration to the African mon
arch. He will bo taken to the nearest
port in an American war ship and will
have an escort of United States marines
on his long journey overland before
reaching Menelik's capital. The press
of Europe sees in this expedition an at
tempt on our part to establish a footing
in Africa, but Mr. Skinner has very
peaceful and business like intentions.
Over one-third of all the imports of
Abyssinia are from this country audevery
year we sellMenelik's people over $5,000,
000 worth of cotton goods' at the same
time vra get from them ivory, hides,
carpet wools and other raw materials.
This expedition is ridiculed by some
who snggest that instead of going to Af
rica we should turn our attention to
South America where the Germans are
making rapid progress atiainat tiieir
American and English competitors.
His many friends in Washington and
elsewhere deeply regret the death of Sir
Michael Herbert, the British ambassa
dor to the United States, lie died last
Wednesday In Switzerland, where he
had gout hoping to l e cured of tubercu
losis, which was the cause of hia death.
He km ambassador to this country only
few months but was well known in
Washington, where he formerly served
as charge d'affairs and as secretary of
the legation. His wife iian American
and he had many personal friends in
this country, among them President
Roosevelt whom he had known for many
years. He was very fond of telling how
tho President taught him to piny base
ball. His most important work here
was the settling of the difficulties In
volved in the attack of England and her
allies on Venezuela, and the negotia
tion of the treaty by which the present
Alaskan Boundary Commission was
crented. The foreign office iu London
has not yet considered w ho is to suc
ceed him.
Presidt nt Roosevelt is much annoyed
at the continued quarrels of the Repub
licans in Delaware, After a conference
with Senators Alee and Ball, the lead
ers of the opposing factions, he made it
plain that if they could not agree on
questions concerning their state, he
would have to take action which would
be disagreeable to both of them. The
present matter of dispute is the selec
tion of a United States attorney to suc
ceed William Michael Byrne.
James Partlow is a hustler and "0
mistake. He is the busiest farmer of
Mt. Pleasant. Four families live from
our farm, "he said to a brother rancher
last week, "three beside ourselves. It
costs me $1500 year to run the farm.
But it pays. Last month I turned off
$4000 worth of stuff. Every month I
do almost as well. There is a big profit
in farming here for the land produces
big and I can sell all I produce at good
prices because I know what the mar
ket wants."

"It Goes Right to the Spot"
When pain or irritation exists on any part, of

to euro his rheumatism. C. R, Smith, Propr

used Ballard's Snow Liniment in my family for
several years, and hare found it to be a flue
remedy, for all aches and pains, and I recom
mend it for pain in the throat and chest." 2oc,

such as no other remedy for the diseases

ranted in offerinjr to pay $500 in legal
money of the United States, for any case
of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolap

not cure. All they ask is a fair and reason
able trial of their means of cure.

I ppent lots of money when living in
the east in trying to get something to
effect a cure . I came out here to Port
land twelve years ago .thinking the
change of climate might benefit me but
the trouble still clung to me. I paid one
doctor in the' town $75 for nudicines,
but I might juBt aa weM have taken so
much water so far as any benefit was
concerned. I used five bottles of a well
known remedy manulactured in the east
and received only temporary relief. I
finally saw Doan's Kidney P'lla a vertis
