FREEDOM OF SPEECH PROHIBITED BY LAW to the criticisms of tho President's many of the Senators looked arounJ the chamber and exchanged smiles. Tillman seemed especially pleased with the document. J,a Follette paid very careful attention. Beverldge, Mc- Cumber, Knox, Galllnger, Nelson, E! kins, llemenway and Uurrows, on the Republican side, and Culberson, Teller, Davis, Uankhead and Overman, among the Democrats, were especially atten tive to the document. On the conclusion of the reading of tho message, Senator Davis, of Arkan sas, promptly moved that 10,000 copies of the message be printed as a public document. "It is the best Democratic doctrine that I have ever heard emanating from a Republican source," said Davis. CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT NOW BEFORE PEOPLE MAY BE.. UNCONSTITUTIONAL. MOST ASTONISHING MEMO.RY John Hancock Can Call Roll of His Old Military Company. A most remarknblo caso of memory Is that of John Hancock, of Twlsp, Wash., who Is in the city visiting his mother, Mrs. E. J. Waldron, Mr. Han cock left Oregon City 41 years ago and this la his first visit to tho town slnco that time. During the war of tho reblllon he served as a private In First Oregon infantry, Freedom of speech Is said to bo prohibited by the Corrupt-Practices bill which Is to be submitted to tho people of Oregon under the Initiative next June. The bill makes It a crime for any person to aHk, solicit or In any manner try to Induce or persuade a voter on election day to vote for or against any candidate or measure, This would bar the use of any kind of argument on election day and there Is doubt whether It would be constitutional. I 'niler this section of the law It Is probublo that newspupers published on the morning of election day would bo prohibited from', printing any thing calculated to Influence voters In determining how to mark their ballots. The Glad Hand in Taboo. Tho words "In any manner try to In duce or persuade" would cover a multi tude of acts. Candidates who went to the polls and extended the glad hand to voters would unquestionably come within tho terms of the act, for It Is common knowledge that a warm handshake Is ono of the most potent means of getting voles. Ono of the penalties for violation of the corrupt-practices act is that the offeudliiK candidate may bo ousted from office. A candidate who should talk to the voters on election day, pub licly or privately, or In any other man ner try to Induce or persuade them to vote for him, oven If tho persuasion were In un honorable' manner, would be In dunger of feorfeltlng his election If a friend of an opposing candidate should see fit to call him to account before a court having Jurisdiction of election contests. This bill has the effect of closing tho lid down tight on nil campaigns at 12 o'clock midnight preceding the day of election. The meusure of course prohibits nil forms of treating for the purpose of Influencing votes, whether on election day or at any other time, and whether the treat bo to drinks or -lany other tempting luxury. It also prohibits tho corrupt or excessive or Improper uso of money, and In many other ways prevents undue Inlluenc'J, deception and fraud. Most of the pro visions are considered salutary .n their effect, but section 34, which pro hibits the use of legitimate argument on election day, Is believed by many to be unconstitutional. Tho section reads as follows: "It shall bo unlawful for any person at any place on tho day of any election to ask, solicit, or In any manner try to Induce or persuade any voter on inch election day to voto for or refrain from voting for any candidate, or the candidates or ticket of any political pnrty or organization, or any measure submitted to the people, and upon con vlctlon thereof ho shall bo punished by line of not less than five dollars nor more than one hundred dollars for tho first offense, and for the second and each subsequent offense occnrlng on tho same or different olectlon days, Pttizs Absolutely Free Next week we will give full details of one of the most extraor dinary voting conistn ever attempted by a weekly newspaper. The Knterprlse Intends to Increase its circulation by giving away JG00 in valuable premiums to the young ladies of Clackamas County. ElBowhero In the puper will be found a nominating coupon and any resident of Clackamas County Is eligible to enter the content. Tho Knterprlse was established In 18CC, and besides being one of tho oldest newspapers In the State of Oregon, It has always been the leading newspuper of Clackamas County. The Enterprise has set a high standard for Itself and this standard It proposes to Increase and maintain, both in circulation and consequent advertising value, and In the quantltly and Quality of Its news columns. Now, we propose to npt only give you value received In 52 Issues of a paper that Is Improving and adding new features each week, but we also give you an opportunity, by a little work, to asslBt a friend or relative to secure a very valuable HIGH GRADE PIANO and oMier premiums, tho character of which will be announced next week, and will easily bo worth anyone's time In competing for. hum of conversation over the message subsided and the members followed every word. Hut the climax came when the reading was concluded. Without regard to party, the mem bers loudly applauded, cheered, thump ed their desks and gave other eviden ces of their approval of the document. After a moment's silence, the applause broke, out again, several members, Including many Democrats, arlr.lng from their seats and clapping their hands. Tho principal rec.fVnmendations of President Roosevelt are: Re-enact employers' liability law so as to apply only to corporation engaged In Interstate commerce and strengthen Its provisions. Pass law giving Government em ployes compensation for Injuries. Pass law giving employes of Pana ma Canal compensation for Injuries. New law against blacklisting will be recommended later. Give Interstate Commerce Commis sion power to pass upon change? In rates before they become effective. Provide for valuation of railroads and supervision of their financial op erations by Interstate Commission. Let Government supervise' Inter change of cars and schedules of trains carrying perishable products. Amend Sherman antl-tmst law to legalize reasonable combinations, but provide thorough supervision over all Interstate corporations. Paas laws to prevent grosser forms of gambling In securities and com modities. Some of the strongest points in the message follow: An Injured workman has no remedy and the entire burden of the accident falls on the helples man, his wife and his young children.

It shows their Inconsist ency In criticising Judges Landis and Wollbon after having condemned the President's much milder criticism of other Judges. It advocates measures to prevent stock gambling, attributes the panic to speculation and high finance, nnd declares that, even if the President's policy did contribute to the panic, It Is better than to allow dls- honest business to thrive. He declares his purpose' of continuing the same policy without flinching. While tho message was being read In the Senate, many Senators simply scanned their printed copies at first nnd before it was half finished they The motion was agreed to, and with out further comment the message was referred to the committee on inter state commerce. , The reading of the message in the House was listened to with intense Interest by the members, of whom there was an unusual large number In attendance. As the reading of the message pro gressed In the House, numerous mem bers were heard audibly to exclaim. "Most unusual," "This Is red hot," etc. The President's vigorous denuncia tion of wrongdoers was greeted with loud applause, as was his defense of Federal judges who punish offenders for violations of the law. genorally took up other matters. When iv The frequency of the applause in the striking passages were reached, creased as the reading proceeded. The TAKING HIS MEASURE FOP FUTURE REFERENCE.

McGowan, of McGowan, Wash., has donated a Ti?n of can culled salmon for fish food. Senator McGowan has a large cannery on the Columbia River, and is deeply Interested in having the fry In the hatcheries on the Columbia River fed until they attain a growth wherein they will be able to combat with their enemies during their stay in the fresh water.' Mr. McGowan is an ardent supporter of the theory that the fry should be fed and is doing what he can to assist the movement. During the past week 600,000 Chi nook salmon fry have been shipped from the Little White Salmon Station on the tipper Columbia River to Seu fert, Ore.,where F. A. Seufert has two large lakes. These fish were liberated In the lakes and are going to be fed and cared for by Seufert Bros. Can nery Company until they reach a growth of four or five Inches.which should be along In the latter part of May or early in June, when the lakes will become a pert of the Columbia River and the fish will Ihen be natur ally liberated. Superintendent O'Malley has receiv ed at Clackamas Station 100,000 Rain bow trout eggs from the United States Bureau of Fisheries Station at Man chester Station, la. This makes a total of 500,000 trout that have bean received to date and they will all be distributed from Clackamas Station during the coming spring and summer. WILLIAM WRIGHT DEAD. Weil-Known Shoe Dealer Succumbs to Attack of Pneumonia. William Wright died Saturday morn ing at his home in Willamette, of pneu monia, after an illness of one week. His sudden death is a great shock to his many friends in the community, where he has been continuously In business1 for 12 years. Mr. Wright waa born 59 years ago in England, and came to the United States In 1850, living with his parents for a time In Kansas. After coming to Oregon he went to Corvallis, and after staying there two years went to Silverton, where he re mained three years and then came to Oregon City 12 years ago. He con ducted a shoe business under the name of Krausse Bros., until one month ago, when he disposed of the business. Mr. Wright was married to Miss Krausse, and his wife and two children, Ruth and Raymond, survive him. He was a prominent member of . St. Paud's Episcopal Church and for many years sang In the choir. He was a member of the Order of Pendo. The funeral ' was held Sunday afternoon from St. Paul's Church and the Interment was In Mountain View Cemetery. Alfred Dorsey Has Troubles. The proposal of County School Su perintendent Gary to hold a Children'B Day during tho coming Besaion of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua As sembly has been eagerly selved upon by the directors of that organization, and definite plans have already been -formulated for the programme of the day. Mr. Gary, with his characteristic love of the beautiful, la encouraging , the growth and study of flowers among the pupils of the Clackamaa County schools and has sent a circular . letter to each school offering to send seeds of sweet peas and asters to each pupil desiring them, providing the pupils agree to plant the seeds and care for the flowers. The children of Clackamas County are to have a display at the County " Fair next fall and the asters will be., exhibited there, but the sweet peas will come on earlier and ought to be ' in full bloom during the Chautauqua assembly in July. Having this In mind, llr. Gary has Induced the Board of Directors to offer five cash prizes for the best individual exhibits of sweet peas. The prizes will be $5, $. S3, $2 and. $1. The idea of Sec tary Cross 13 to bank the flowers on the auditorium platform, where they will make an attractive and interest ing display. Upon their initiative, the Board of Directors have offered two cash prizes of $10 and $5 for the best collective exhibits from schools of flowers. Unlike the first offer, the ! large prizes will embrace a competi tion for an exhibit of all kinds of flowers. Every school in Clackamas County is entitled to enter this com- ' petition. They may get the flowers where they please and make whatever arrangements they desire. Secretary Cross said this morning that the Board of Directors has signed a contract with Mrs. Leonora M. Lake, who will deliver two lectures at each of the four Pacific Coast Chau- tauquas. Mrs. Lake is a noted Cathc- - 11c woman and is everywhere recog nized as a forceful speaker of great -eloquence. She has been heard by Mrs. Lucia Faxon Addition, one of the Chautauqua directors, and Mrs. , Sarah A. Evans, president of the Or egon State Federation of Women's Clubs, and both speak highly in her praise. She has four lectures that she uses, as follows: "The Divine Rights of the Child," "The Cornerstone of Our National Superstructure, Our Homes." "What Is Life; What Can ' We Do With It?" "My Neighbor and I." Preparation of the programme of the Chautauqua Assembly Is progress ing rapidly and will be practically completed, with the exception of a few details, In a few weeks. 5 THREE WOULD BE CHIEF Much Interest Manifested by Firemen in coming Election. . Y The coming Firemen's election. which win be held the first Monday In March, promises to be more than usually Interesting, and it Is probable there will be three candidates in the field for chief of the department. Clar ence Bruner, the present assistant chief, has been nominated by Hill Hose Co. No. 3, and Charles W. Burns, Jr., who has served as assistant chief, has been placed In nomination by the Green Point Hose Co. No. 5. Edward Reckner, who is a member of Cataract Hose Co. No. 3, has been nominated for assistant chief, and it is not ap- ' parent at this time that fie will have ' any opposition. There will be several candidates for fire commissioner, as ' there .are three to elect, and Colum bia Hook and Ladder Company has already nominated John Gleason. The retiring chief of the fire depart ment is Lawrence Ruconich, who has made an efficient officer, and who will not be a candidate for re-election. He . is a member of Fountain Hose Co. It Is very probable that Columbia Hook and Ladder Co. will place a candidate In the field, making a pret- ty three- cornered fight. The election will rest partly upon the members of Cataract Hose Company and Fountain 'V Hose Company who will have no can-:i didate for the main office in the gift '' of the department.
