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,

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

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.

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.

Superintendent Henry O'Malley, of
the United States Bureau of Fisheries,
gave out the information Wednesday
that State Senator H. F. 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.

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.
