Corruption of our suffrage Is open and notorious, the buying and sell ing of political places for money, and the traffic in official duties for personal gain. By the thousands and hundreds of thousands people look en with per fect calmness and with hypocritical cant declare they are not poli ticians.

Ex-President Cleve land was the principal speaker tonight at the annual banquet of the Commercial Club in the Auditorium Hotel. The sub ject discussed by Mr. Cleveland was "American Good Citizenship" and he dwelt at length on the necessity of every citizen doing his part to make political action what it .shpulrt ,be. TKls. .Is the first time in eight years Mr. Cleveland has visited Chicago, and he received an en thusiastic .greeting when he appeared at, the speaker's table. Mr. Cleveland arrived in Chicago early this morning, and' went direct to the Auditorium", where he greeted a number of friends who were waiting to meet him. At 1 o'clock this afternoon he was the guest of Cyrus H. McCormick and David B. Jones at a luncheon given in his honor at tho Chicago Club. Following this ho attended the Studebaker Theater as tho guest of James H. Eckels, Controller of the Currency during Mr. Cleveland's sec ond administration.

The address of ex President Cleveland before the Commer cial Club tonight was as follows: Mr. President and Gentlemen I am cer tain that it Is not necessary to assure you of the pleasure it affords me to meet the members of the Commercial Club of Chicago. You must know, as well as If you were told a thousand times, that it is not in human nature to be less than de lighted by your open-handed hospitality and hearty greeting: I do not know that my pleasure is at all diminished by the fact that I have reached you only after repeated inability to accept prior invita tions, since I am to understand, in a most emphatic way, that my failures to accept your hospitality in the past have not fa tigued your courtesy and friendship. In deed, I hope my frankness will be excused when I say that my complete enjoyment is alloyed at this moment only by the chills and quakes of speechmaking. Even in this predicament. I find comfort in the thought that the ordeal will soon be over, and I -have reached a sort of peaceful composure by steeling myself against my own embarrassment and your disappoint ment As I understand my situation, I am under-bonds to keep the peace If possible by eschewing politics in the few words I shall speak tonight and I hope I may fulfill the condition of my bond and avoid disturbing those most auspicious of my conduct if I deal with that old. old topic American Good Citizenship. There Is danger that my subject is so familiar ana so trite as to lack interest This does not necessarily 1 result ' from a want of appreciation of the importance of good citizenship, nor from a denial of the duty resting upon every American to bo a good citizen. There is . however, abroad In our land a self-satisfied and Tierfunctorv notion that Xl'f r!n nil tVin o required of us in this direction when we mane proression or our faith in the creed of good citizenship and abstain from the commission of palpably unpatriotic sins. This belief io Inevitably the parent of a sort of self-righteousness contentment, which leads us on quite well under the direction of those who make political ac tivity their occupation. For ourselves, we are good, quiet, respectable and Inoffen sive citizens, and we are not politicians. We ought not to be badgered and annoyed by the preaching and exhortations of a restless troublesome set of men, who con tinually urge upon us the duty of active and affirmative participation in public af fairs. Why should we be charged with neglect of. political obligations? We go to the polls on election day, when not too busy with other things, and vote the ticket our party managers have prepared for'us. Some times, when conditions grow to be so bad, politically, that a revival or stlrrlng-up becomes necessary, a goodly number of us actually devote considerable time and effort to better the situation. Of course, we cannot do this always, be cause we must not neglect money-getting and the promotion of great enterprises, which, as everybody knows, are the evi dences of a Nation's prosperity and In fluence. A great many people and a great deal of time are necessary to patriotically care for these things, and somehow It is more pleasant to promote the country's good and at the same time our own finan cial prospects, in this way. than by habitu ally meddling In political operations. Mast Be Doers as -"Well as Hearers. It seems to me that within our citizen ship there are many whose disposition and characteristics very much resemble those quite often found In the membership of our churches. In this membership there Is a considerable proportion composed of those who, having made profession of their faith and joined the church, appear to think their duty done when they live honestly, attend worship regularly and contribute liberally to church support In complacent satisfaction, and certain of their respectability, they do not care to hear sermonizing concerning the sinful-1 ness of human nature, or the wrath to' .come, and if haply they are sometimes roused by the truth of vital Christian ity, they soon relapse again to their tran quil and easy condition of llstlessness. A description of these, found in the "Holy Writ, may fitly apply, to many in the state as well as In the church: "For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man be holding his natural face in a glass; for he beholdeth himself and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was." Who will say that this Is now our happy condition? Is not our public life satur ated with the indecent demands of selfish ness? ' More than this, can any of us doubt the existence of still more odious and detestable evils which, with steady cankering growth, are moro directly than all others, threatening our safety and Na tional life? I speak of the corruption of our suffrage, open and notorious, of the buying land celling of political places for money, the purchase of political favors and privileges, and the traffic In official du ty for personal gain. These things are confessedly common. Every intelligent man knows that they have grown from small beginnings until they have reached frightful proportions of malevolence: and yet respectable citizens by the thousands and -hundreds of thousands have looked on with perfect calmness, and with hypocrit ical cant have declared they are not poli tician?, or with silly pretensions of faith in our strength and luck, have languidly claimed that the country was prosperous, equal to any emergency, and proof against all dangers. Resulting front these conditions in a manner not difficult to trace, wholesome National sentiment la threatened with utter perversion. All sorts of misconceptions- pervade the public thought, and Jealousies rssidly taking on the complex Ion of class hatred are found in every corner of the land. A new meaning has been given to National prosperity. With a hardihood that savors of Insolence, an old pretext, which has preceded the doom of ancient, experimenters In popular rule, is daily and hourly dinned in our ears. We are told- that the National splendor we have built upon the showy ventures of speculative wealth is a badge of our success. Unsharlng contentment Is en joined upon the masses of our people; and they are Invited in the bare subsistence of their, scanty homes, to patriotically- rj3ce in their country's prosperity.' This is too unsub stantial an enjoyment, of benefits, to .satis fy those who have been- taught American equality;' and thus nas- arisen, by-a-per-fectlynatural process, a dissatisfied in- slstence -upon a better distribution of the results of our vaunted ivosperity. Lr.uor and Capital. We now see its worst manifestation lq the apparently Incorrigible dislocation ol the proper relations between labor and capital. This of itself is sufficiently dis tressing; but thoughtful men are not without dread of sadder developments yet to come. There has also grown up among our p'eople a disregard for the' restraints ofJaw, and a disposition to evade its limi tations while querulous strictures con cerning the action of our courts tend to undermine popular faith in the course of justice; and last, but by no means least complaints of Imaginary or exaggerated shortcomings In our financial policies, fur nish an excuse for the flippant exploita tion of all sorts of monetary nostrums. I hasten to give assurance that I have not spoken In a spirit of gloomy pessi mism. I shall be the last of all our peo ple to believe that the saving grace of patriotism among my countrymen is dead or will always sleep. I know that Its timely revival and activity mean the realization of the loftiest hopes of a free Nation. I have faith that the awaken ing is forthcoming: and on this faith I build a cheerful hope for the healing of (Concluded on Fage" 10.) DISCUSSES "AMERICAN GOOD CITIZENSHIP AT BANQUET OF CHICAGO COMMERCIAL CLUB EX-PRESIDEXT CLEVELAND. m NEW LAWS Congress Will Incline to Conservatism. NO LARGE APPROPRIATIONS River and Harbor Efill Only Probable Exception, HOUSE WILL NOT GIVE UP ALL Policy Means Xo Anti-Trust, Tariff or Reciprocity Legislation, Save for Caba, and Xo New Public Building Bills. OREG ONIANi NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct 14. Legislation that will be enacted at tho coming regular session of Congress, will be' framed along lines of conservatism and economy. This is usual ly the case In the session immediately pre ceding a Presidential election, and the an nouncement Is madd by men close to the prospective Speaker that every effort will be made by Mr. Cannon and by his mighty committee on rules to hold appropriations do,wn to tho minimum and to prevent all unnecessary legislation, The carrying out: of such a policy will mean no financial legislation; no changes in the expansion policy; no more antitrust legislation; no tariff legislation of any kind; no reciprocity legislation except for Cuba; no now public buildings bill9, but only provision for contract work initiated by acts of previous sessions; no "pork bar rel" appropriations of any kind; In fact, nothing new, novel or startling In legisla tion, and only the utmost conservatism. Adjournment in May. With all this, adjournment is looked for some time in May. Speaker Cannon, it Is known, favors such a plan, and so far as the House .is concerned, he will' probably be able to adhere pretty closely to such a policy, except perhaps as td the river and harbor bill. There are u vast number of works that will be tied up unless a river and harbor bill is paseed, and other meri torious, projects., foe. which jio appropria tion has yet been made, would be serious ly hampered by a. delay or another year, among them works in Oregon. The defeat of the river and harbor bill in the short session two years ago serves as a warning of what may happen If the bill Is not passed arthe coming session, for some disgruntled Senator may adopt the tactics of Senator Carter, and kill this important measure at a vital time. Chairman Bur ton, of the river and harbor committee, favors a moderate river and harbor bill at the next session, and it is quite probable that Speaker Cannon may have -to yield on this point, although he would be able to hold down the bill to small dimensions. The larger works, such as the improve ment of the mouth of the Columbia River, will go ahead regardless of the river and harbor bill, but The Dalles project and the Improvements along the. Oregon coast are largely dependent upon a river and harbor bill, and would be affected were no bill allowed to pass. The general strong sentiment In favor of this measure is very likely to cause the Speaker to yield, at least to the extent of a compromise. Members May Do Some Holdlnfr-Up. There Is no doubt that many Republican leaders would like to see this economy programme carried out in full, but mem bers of the House are not going to be choked off entirely In the matter of appro- priatlons for carrying on public improve-: ments In their districts. In -the last session, an attempt was made td prevent the passage of public building bills, and it was generally understood that the Speaker and the committee on rules, together with tho .leaders, intended to pre vent any time being given to these meas ures. The result was that a combination was formed strong enough to block other legislation, and notice was served on the Speaker and other leaders that the men who had been working throughout the en tire session to secure legislation in the way of public building bills Intended to have tho consideration of the House upon them, or other legislation would be tied up. An attempt to smother a river and har bor bill will no doubt result in that bill being reported early enough to receive con sideration, and when the House goes Into committee of the whole to consider appro priation bills, the river and harbor bill will have friends enough to pass It before some of the other measures. No doubt efforts toward economy in proper directions -will be assisted by the members of the House In every way possi ble, "but members are not going to see their districts slighted, and if an omnibus bill for public buildings- is necessary it will bo passed, and a. river and harbor bill will also be put through. The mapping out of a programme thus early will, no doubt, cause the rank and file to get to gether on a scheme to see that the usual bills of interest to their district are put through. DOUBLE MILEAGE FOR SALONS. V Congress Is to Grant Pay for Extra and Regular Sessions. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 14. In the light of precedents of past Congresses, it is supposed Sena tors and Representatives who come to Washington to attend the extra session on November 9 will be allowed mileage for the extra session, and again for the regular session that meets in December. This is a matter wholly in the control of Congress, and at past extra sessions, these double allowances have been made, even when one session followed Imme diately upon another. In the case of Ore gon and Washington members, these mean $1200 for each session, "or J240O to defray expenses of one trip to and from Wash ington. New Oregon Postmasters.

For the first time In three years Pacific University has at its head a permanent, formally Installed president. Professor "W. N. Ferrin, who for two years has been acting president of the institution and dean of the faculty, was today inaugurated as head of tho college, with which, he has been connected, as a teacher, for over 26 .years. Ever slncehc rfsignorrT'BrVMcCIeHaird, who accepted a: call to Krox College at the "beginning of the school year 1900-'01. tho trustees have considered Professor Ferrin the right man to All this responsible po sition, and his formal election to the presidency occurred at a meeting of the board held in Portland last August. Today the little college city of Forest Grove Is filled as it seldom has been he fore with members of the alumni, old students and friends of Pacific University, who have Journeyed here to attend and participate in the exercises, which un doubtedly mark the beginning of a new era In the advancement and growth of this institution. It was an occasion for the uniting of distinguished men from all over the state, who are connected with the Interests of this college and the hearty support which they are giving presage a glowing future for "Old Pacific." Lower Classes in Lend. At an early hour this forenoon tho guests assembled at Herrick Hall, where the inaugural procession, a feature of all similar occasions of the present time, was formed. The student body, arranged with the lower classes leading, were at the head of the -formation; members of the faculty, alumni, trustees and distinguished guests, as an escort for President Ferrin followed. The line of march was directly to Marsh Memorial Hall. Upon the ar rival there, the students stood in open file while the other members, of the procession . passed through the corridors to the audi torium above. Brighton Chapel never offered a more attractive appearance. Huge masses of brilliantly tinted Autumn leaves, with a border of ferns, almost hid from sight the entire front wall of the room. The exer cises commenced shortly after 10 o'clock. After a hymn and the Invocation by Rev. Mr. Bollinger, of Oregon City, the presiding officer, Hon. Alanson Hinman, president of the Board of Trustees, ajosa and in a few well-chosen remarks called attention to the appropriateness of plac ing a "Wastern man at the head of thre college, a child of pioneers, founded in 1848, whose every Interest Is centered in the building up of the Pacific Northwest and Oregon In particular. University of Oregron Greetings. President Campbell, of the University of Oregon, was the first speaker. He brought hearty greetings from a sister institution, and paid a glowing tribute to President Ferrin as an educator. Briefly he treated of the great openings for ad vancement along the lines of higher edu cation in America, and especially In the West. The great field has hardly been touched as yet. Only one-half of 1 per cent of our youth achieve a college educa tion, but the great strides that are be ing made along these lines, tell of different conditions, which will exist within the next few decades. America at present is spending more per capita for education than the other nations, yet it is neces sary to do much more. The time when brute force ruled .is long past, and the demand today is for men with trained intellect. He closed with a spirited ac count of the call in America for more college men. Dr. Wilson Represents Academies. The secondary schools of the state were represented by Principal J. R. Wilson, of Portland Academy. He called atten-" tlon to the co-operation between the acad emies and colleges of our state, which Is necessary to a successful educational (.Continued on Page -
