THE MORKING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, VTUSB 30, 1903. ROASTED TO A TURN Dr. Hare's Opinion of His Majesty McBride, HIS VETOES FOR VENGEANCE Speaker of-. Washington Heaae Ap proves Robertson's Stand and Makes Merciless Analysis of Governor's Political Coarse. NORTH" YAKIMA, Wash., June 29. (Special.) A letter received this -week by W. W. Robertson, ot the Yakima Re public, from Dr. W. H. Hare, speaker of the House of Representatives, who was elected from , this county, a review is made of the hostility of Governor Mc Bride toward .Yakima County.. Dr. Hare congratulates Mr. Robertson upon the stand he took In withdrawing -from the Louisiana Purchase Commission when the announcement was made of Charles Reed'o appointment to succeed Thomas P. Westendorf as superintendent of the Chehalls Reform School. Continuing', Dr. Hare, gives some Interesting political his tory. He says' in part; "The representatives from our county last session of- .the 'legislature. Ir. Dunn and myself, wre made to feel the op pressive enmity of a Governor who re gards with personal disdain or hatred everyone who does jiofc choose to follow him or accept his dictatorial policies. Because we preferred to vote for a United States Senator of our own choice, rather than for the choice of the Governor, we were olasslfled by ,blm as. "suspects. "When all was over, and the Legislature had adjourned, he vetoed the then vital measures we had been Interested in pass ing on behalf of the county: The sugar bounty, the Naches road bill and the County Treasury reimbursement account, which even the State Auditor had passed upon as correct and Just. This was executive vengeance, not economy, as he Wandly .asserted. "Men familiar with the life of the two last Legislatures are In no sense deceived as to the Governor's character, alms and insincerity. The Governor's plea of so licitude for the taxpayers, in carrying out his veto 'retaliations, is a mockery and an insult to public intelligence, "How does it come that he allowed one $3000 appropriation for a trout hatchery on Lake Chelan to stand while he erased a. similar provision . for Lake Crescent on the west side? The House and Senate had agreed that one proposition was as meritorious as the other. But it is in these little things we shall find the pettiness of his excellency. M. E. Field, who was one of the Governor's alds-de-camp In the Legislature and the Governor's pri vate secretary, are property-owners on Lake Chelan. Of course, they had to be accommodated on their fishing preserves, while the great trout lake of Clallam County, really more In need of a hatchery than Chelan, had to do without, because Mr. Palmer, the ' Representative from Clallam, which Is clamoring for a rail road connection with the outer world, had ben supported by his constituents in refusing to follow the Governor in his railroad commission campaign. Clallam County had to be punished for disobedi ence to his majesty's wishes. "It might be asked further what qual ity or type of mind in a chief magistrate Is it that would recommend the appro priation of JI200 for the installation of the pictures of our Governors (Including him self), and then veto, under the pretext of economy, an appropriation of J200 to pay for the frames Inclosing group pic tures of the several Legislatures which had bfen presented as a gift to the state. A parallel to this incredible littleness in the Governor of a modern state would be impossible to find. "And speaking of political Insincerity, it is well to consider McBrlde's railroad commission scheme In the light of his. own conduct. His original plan, while Lieutenant-Governor and President of the Sen ate, was to deprive George Rogers ol the appointive prerogative, and appropri ate it himself as chairman of an ap pointive commission. The best tax re lief bill ever passed In the state, known as the tax commission bill, was vetoed by Governor McBrlde after the last ses sion, for the actual reason that it did tt him what he vainly tried to do to Gov ernor Rogers. This bill gave to the board of equalization such appointive power as was provided for, and that power could not have been lodged in a more befitting place. "Although not current political history, it is well known among those who fol low the inner courses of state politics, that McBrlde, when baffled In 1901 by the legislative majority, thought to com promise with Governor Rogers In such manner as to obtain dominance in the proposed railroad commission. The bi partisan bill provided for two Republican and one Democratic appointees. If Mc Brlde could name or be the indorser-ln-chlcf of the two Republicans, he. in the last ditch of the fight, was willing to accept the principle of the Tolman bill, which reposed the appointive power in Governor Rogers. He called on the Gov ernor with the Idea in view of making this agreement, but Rogers saw through his motives at once, and jocularly In formed him that he would appoint two Republicans who were In sympathy with railroad development. This ended the compromise. Governor Rogers simply would not lend himself to the upbuilding of a McBrlde railroad commission ma chine, and he knew that the bill giving him the appointive power could not pass unless he agreed to do so. "As another example of insincerity we may take the fate of the Congressional apportionment bill of 3901. Governor Mc Brlde talks a great deal of the constitu tional requirement relating to a railway commission. In this he Is mistaken as to interpretation, inasmuch as the man datory provision on the subject is that the Legislature "shall regulate" rates, while in the secondary claim it is con ferred aa a power to provide for a rail way commission. "But how about the Congressional re apportionment? This is specifically man datorya Legislative duty to be per formed at each session succeeding the Federal census. "The bill that passed the House In 1901 In conformity to the constitution, wag thoroughly considered in committee and on the floor. But In McBrlde's eyes it had one glaring and Irremediable fault The partition of the Congressional dis tricts assured King County a Congress man, and for at least ten years made it Impossible for McBrido's northwest com bination to control a Congressional nomi nation in that district. Governor Rogers then gave promise of living many years and the Lieutenant-Governor, with an eye on the future of the political field, held himself in no mean light as a pos sible candidate for the lower house of Congress. For this reason he chose to hold the constitution in contempt, and as chairman of the sifting committee In the Senate, he killed the bill by keeping It off the calendar In spite of every pro test and pleading." Dr. Hare closes with an indorsement of Westendorf. LARGE "XOME HOTEL BURNED, Steamer Senator Arrives Prom the Xorth With Pansentccrs ana Dant. SEATTLE, June 29. The steamer Sen ator arrived in port this morning from Nome, the third vessel out from Bchring Sea. The Senator. brought $40,000 in gold;, from tho Nome, country and several pas sengers.

License Qncatlon Thoroughly Dis eased at Forest Grove. FOREST GROVE, Or., June 29.-(Spe-ciaL) It was campaign Sunday yester day at the Concrec-atlonal Church, both morning and evening services being given , over io me discussion or ine licensing ot a saloon, the issue which Is to be put before the people at the special city election next Wednesday. Superintendent C. F. Clapp. president of the Good Citi zens" League. In the morning read sta tistics of prohibition elsewhere, especial ly dwelling on Kansas and the college city of Cambridge. Mass. In the evening the chilly air drove in doors the massmeetlng and about 110 people assembled in Marsh Hall Audi torium, about one-third being voters. Business men had been announced as speakers and after prayer by President Ferrln, Dr. Bishop, recently from Asto ria, spoke. The sale of liquor we do have, he -said, but why snould we have the license of liquor? Mr. James, who formerly lived in Nebraska, stated that he was a radical and considered the ' man who sold liquor the worst kind of a murderer. Mr. Harris excited curiosity as a Kentucklan, who didn't, drink, but admitted he had lived, too, in Nebraska. He had found Forest Grove had some- ' thing now very like a saloon. Principal I Bates discussed the matter from an ethical standpoin and Superintendent Clapp read a long list of Kansas judges who asserted prohibition had been en forced In their districts and the country prospered. Mr. Peterson, who had been a prohibition Mayor In Kansas, had come to Forest Grove because It was announced as a temperance town and had been sur prised at the treating habit In business circles here. Superintendent Clapp fin ished and announced that another meet ing would probably be held Tuesday even ing. A surprise in the campaign was the statement Sunday et'onlng by the presi dent of the Good Citizens' League, Su perintendent Clapp, that the ordinance v.-hlch had been published In the last three Issues of the official city paper to be- voted on next Wednesday was not the same ordinance which the Council had ordered to be submitted to the voters. To this the Councllmen take exception, asserting that they know best what they adopted, and declaring that the printed ordinance is the identical one passed by them. ' NORTHWEST POSTAL CHANGES.

The Republican primaries were held this after noon. There were some very spirited con tests on between tne Civic League and the reformers desiring to secure the noml nation of men who will certainly enforec the law against gambling and promote other reforms and various elements, in eluding all that class -who desire a- wide open town. That contest appeared In only two of the four wards. In one the Civic League won, and in the other it waa defeated. Aa a result of the primaries it seems that the contest for Mayor is between J. A, Pinney and John M. Haines. The lat ter is not an avowed candidate, while Mr. Pinney is. The element that desires to have gambling kept In subjection and yet does not desire any extreme measures, such as they think the Civic League might ask for, are against Pinney and are dis posed to support Haines. But it is yet I impossible to tell what the result will be. i t r v. n a 9 m ... . . I enough votes for Haines, they may switch I . u ouweuac use.

FROM ROGUE RIVER, Medfonl Coroner Decides That the Drovratnif-Was Shcr as te Ee qslre No laqaest. MEDFORD. Or., June 29. Special.) The body of John C. VanByke, who was drowned In. Rogue River yesterday, was recovered this afternoon. Over 104 citi zens and friends in Medford worked from dark last night until 2 o'clock this- morn ing with lanterns, grabhooks and boats. About 11 o'clock last night his hat was found, about 60 yards from where he was last seen. Just at daylight this morning J. W. Mahoney, M. F. McCown and J. D. Fay found his fishing rod about SO yard3 beyond where the hat was found. At day light a systematic search of the river from bank to bank was made. A sack was filled with rocks until It weighed fully 1C0 pounds,, and was lowered where the body was last seen. This sack was dragged and finally taken out with grab hooks, by this manner disturbing the body, causing it to move. This, however, is only a supposition. They had gone over the place where the body was taken out many times, and the river was searched three or four miles, the same ground be ing gone over until it seemed almost Im possible that a body could be there. A reward was" offered by C. C. Ragsdale of 150 to any one who would recover the body In the Gold Hill and Grant's Pass vlcin- ty. A raft was constructed, and Jim Stew art. Tom Kearney and H. G. Nicholson. caught the body with a grabhook and brought it to the surface. They were try ing to get it on the raft, when it slipped away from them and back Into the water. It was finally brought up again by Guy and Eugene Chllders and C. O. Ramsey, who were In a boat. The body was brought to Medford "and Is now at the family residence. Coroner Plckel waived the usual inquest as the conditions did not justify holding one. Mr. VanDyke was married last Oc- ober to Miss Minnie Cox, of this city. He was 27 years old. and besides being a prominent business man was a member of the Talisman Lodge. Knights of Pyth ias. Funeral services will be held at the late residence on North C street, Tuesday, at 2:30 P. M., Rev- W. F. Shields, of the Presbyterian Church, officiating. Serv ices at the grave will be conducted by the Tonights of Pythias Lodge. Inter ment will be at Oddfellows cemetery. TRAINMEN EXONERATED.
