LET' POBTUnD BID
Humphrey Will Give Fair Play
in Oat Contract.
LARGE QUANTITY WANTED
Will Load on Foreign Vessel In Port
land, if Bids Are Low and Amer
ican Tonnage Too Costly.
Message From Fulton.
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU.
Washington. March 1. At the request
o Portland dealer?. Senator Fulton re
cently had a conference with Quartermaster-General
Humphrey to urge him
to deal more generously with Portland
in advertising for bids and awarding
contracts for supplies for the Philip
pines and insisting that he give Port
land a fair show in this competition.
The Senator tod&y received the follow
ing letter from General Humphrey:
"j certainly hope we shall receive
bids from Portland dealers for hay and
oats required in the Philippines under
the next opening. March 10. I think
it would be well for Oregon merchants
to bid for delivery at Portland and
ulso at Seattle. There has been strong
competition on the part of Minneapolis
In the matter of supplying oats as
against Seattle dealers. Minneapolis
. having received one large contract and
under the lust opening was exceed
ingly close to the lowest bids from
both Seattle and San Francisco.
May Send J)lx to Portland.
About one-third of the quantity o
hay and oats advertised for should be
shipped from the Pacific Coast early
In April and the amount will require
approximately 4491 tons measurencnt
of space. The remaining two-thirds
should be delivered on cull, so as to be
shipped at a Inter date. It beinsr our
present intention to ship this latter
quantity of lray and oats on the trans
port Dix to sail about the middle of
May.
"I do not think T should hesitate or
dinarily to send the Dix Into Portland,
if. the bids submitted there were suffi
ciently low to justify jt. but on her
next trip out. we intend to ship sorac
500 animals to the Philippines, which,
of course, puts a different light on the
matter. These animals are now being
purchased under contract for delivers'
at Seattle and they will necessarily
have to be loaded at that point. The
question involved Is whether the bids
reooived at Portland will justify send
ing the Dix to that port for the loading
of hay and osits and then having th
ship proceed to Seattle to. receive the
animals, instead of having her load
both animals and forage at Seattle.
Law .Mainly Responsible.
"There is no Intention on the part
of this office to discriminate for or
against any city on the Pacific Coast
or anywhere else, the endeavor being
simply to carry out the letter and
spirit of the law to obtain the best
available articles at the least expense
to the Government.
"As -you agree, there Is no American
line of American steamers plying be
tween Portland and the Orient, and
under the law we are required to give
Government freight to American bot
toms, unless the rates charged by them
are considered exorbitant. Tills is
largely responsible for our course in
making shipments from Seattle, where
there is an established line running
between that port and Manila, which
can be utilized to take the surplus
freight not possible to ship on our own
vessels."

3'ullon Tells Chamber Humphrey
Has Made Concession.
Secretary E. C. Glltncr. of the Chamber
of Commerce, says that Portland has been
placed on an equal basis with Seattle in
the bidding of the two cities to furnish
the Government with 3700 tons of forage
and 3S00 tons of oats to be shipped to the
Philippines, the bids for which will be
opened March 10. Mr. Giltner bases his
statement upon a telegram received yes
terday from Senutor C. W. Fulton, who
is now in Washington. Mr. Giltner says.
If the Portland dealers bid sufficiently
low to secure the contracts, that the for
age and the oats will be shipped direct
from this port to Manila in foreign bot
toms, provided American vessel's are not
procurable. Mr. Giltner says the Govern
ment provides that the rates between
Portland and Manila have to be reason
able. The Chamber of Commerce has been at
work on the matter ever since Its atten
tion was allied to the alleged discrimina
tion on the part of the Government in
favor of Seattle. Mr. Fulton willingly co
operated with the Chamber of Commerce
to eliminate discrimination and to give
Tortland a fair show.
Mr. Giltnor says that the concession of
the Government in allowing these supplies
to be shipped from this port direct to Ma
nila in foreign bottoms if American ves
sels arc not procurable, will establish a
precedent that ought to do much in se
curing for Portland other Govcrnmont
business. An effort will be made to have
the same rule apply to all shipments of
the Government from the Northwest.
EXIT GENERAL GROSVENQR
Pays Penalty of Ignoring Young Men
and Arrogance in House.
- ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. March 1. The House of Represen
tatives will sustain a material loss when
Representative Charles H. Grosvenor. of
Ohio, retires to private life at the close
of the present Congress, not such a loss
as when "Tom" Reed withdrew, for Gros
venor is not a mighty man. though he has
boon a conspicuous figure in the lower
branch of Congress, for the past ten years.
General Grosvenor Is as well known
throughout the country as any member of
Congress except Speaker Cannon. He
has been prominent In the debates: he
has been prominent in tho management
of the House; he has been counted over
and again as a Speakership possibility,
but more than all else, he has attained
prominence as the most accomplished po
litical acrobat in tho annals of the Na
tional Legislature.
General Grosvenor Is one of the "old
guard." He was a close adviser of Speak
er Henderson; he was retained In the
same capacity by Speaker Cannon, and
It was he, Mr. Cannon and Mr. Dalzell
who have been literally arranging the leg
islative programme of the House ever
alnce Mr. Cannon has been Speaker. Just
as General Grosvenor and Mr. Dalzell
acted In the same capacity with Mr. Hen
derson before Mr. Cannon's day. As one
of the three members of the rules com
mittee. General Grosvenor has been a
mighty factor during the past decade, but
his high position in the House could not
jsave him at home.
Like some other notable Congressmen
of lato years, General Grosvenor had
.cane -to look upon his job as a lifetime
position: he had come to believe that the
people of his district owed him this of
fice in recognition of past services, and
he fell Into the habit of Ignoring his con
stituents and doing Just as he pleased on
any and all occasions. His most serious
error was to Ignore the young Republi
cans of his district. General Grosvenor
had about JScO.OOO worth of Federal patron
age at his disposal, and every bit of it
went to old men, his personal and polit
ical friends. The young men clamored
for r fair share of the "Dap." but their
cries were unheeded. So they rosc In
their wrath, they wrested the machine
from the hands of the Grosvenor men.
and nominated for Congress one of their
own number. His election is assured, and
once this youngster takes his seat.
Charles H. Grosvenor may count his po
litical career at an end.
General Grosvenor cries out "Ingrati
tude" and "treachery," but Congress to
day contains no more ungrateful or
treacherous member than himself. His
career of late has been shai"d to build up
Grosvenor. regardless of the effect at
home. His course In the House has been
shaped to Increase his strength. In the
hope that some day he might become
Speaker. But no such fate was in store
for him. Strong as ho was. by his bit
terness and his treachery toward his fel-low-mombetT.
he had made himself im
mensely unpopular, and the time would
necr have come when he could get the
support of his party In the House for the
Speakership.
But regardless of all this. General Gros
venor will be missed. ' Ho was one of tho
best rough-and-midy debaters the House
ever know; he feared no antagonist; he
courted a wordy eontilet at nay and 11
times, and from members oh his owh side
as well as across the party aielc. And
there have been fev men who could beat
him in running debate. Bat 1k wa
never profound; ho was never sincere.
He was always spectacular, and lived for
the day only. It is a notorious fact that
his Inconsistency was absolute: in him
self admitted It. and times beyond count
ho has been quoted to jrove and dtaprov
every great political Ikbuc that lias been
before Congress In the past decade.

Policy Towards Postmasters.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 1. The Ume will probably

C0SI0S W VISImGT UNITED STAT J
placed on a merit basis and political In
fluence Is reduced to a minimum. Up to
December J, 1SD5, postmastershlps were
considered Congressional patronage and
the power of Congressmen was absolute.
Senators were permitted to name the
postmasters In their home cities, but all
other postmasters were appointed on the
recommendation of the Congressman In
whose district Uie offices wero located.
In a general way this practice Is still
continued, but vacancies do not occur as
frequently as In the post, for the simple
reason that President Roosevelt has or
dered that postmasters with good records
rha.ll be retained In office during good
behavior. In other words, he has denied
Senators and Representatives the tight,
heretofore enjoyed, of ousting postmasters
at will In order to make room for politi
cal favorites. Postmasters today arc
granted virtually tne same protection a
Government employes in the classified
wrvicc: they can only bo removed for
cause: they cannot bo ousted for purely
political reasons. Whenever a postmas
ter dies, retires or Is removed, the Sena
tor or Congressman Is permitted to fill
the place, as in the past, but only under
these circumstances can he get recog
nition. Only a few days ago the President
served notice on the Republican members
of the Idaho delegation that they cannot
remove postmasters for political reasons.
As cited at tho time the PrcaWont re
futed to rmove A. G. Nettleton. post
master at Xampa, In order to make room
for a man Indorsed by the Republican
organization in Idaho. Mr. Ncttleton
came within the class that is assured of
protection by tho President. During the
four years of his term lie made a good
record: his services were satisfactory to
the people of Namna: his record was In
vestigated and approved by the postal
authorities, and for these reasons, if for
no .others, he was entitled to another
term.
But the RejHibllcati organization In
Idalio. and particularly Senator Heyburn
and State Chairman Brady, had decreed
otherwise. They had boldly announced
their intention of getting Mr. Nettleton's
scalp. Wliat is more, they made no con
cealment of their reasons. Mr. Brady, in
the last campaign and la the campaign
previous, made a political assessment of
$17e against Air. Ncttleton and demanded
rpeatedly that thJ amount be contrib
uted. Mr. Nettleton. wltose salary was
only considered the assessment cx-
oesrive: he contributed what he could
afford and declined to accede further to
th demands of Mr. Brady ami his as
sociates. After Nettleton's Scalp.
In consofjuence of this refusal. Mr.
Brady determined to get Mr. Nettleton
out of otrieo. and h conferred with Mr.
HeyLura and Governor Gooding about hi
plan. They approved It and picked Yictor
T. Elver for the job. When Mr. Ncttle
ton approached Air. Ileybum. the Senator
frankly told hhn he could not have an
other term, as he did not appreciate what
life, iwrtv lmd done for him In the past,
in tluit he had refused to pay the assess
ment made against him. The Senator
then set about planning to oust Mr.
Nettleton ami armolnt some man vhi
would agree to pay his assessments. It
was an unfortunate day for Mr. Heyburn
when he made this move, for he then
and the-e laid hlmwlf open to another
rebuke at the hands- or the President.
Nettleton Kept In Office.
The upshot of the whole thing was that
Mr. Nettleton. unable to secure recogni
tion at the hands of the delegation, tiled
his tcquest for reappointment with tho
postal authorities at Washington and
with it filed a ietltIon showing a long
list of Indorsements from the patrons of
his office. The department was In somp
authentic way advised of the acts of Mr.
Brady. Mr. Heyburn and others and a
clear case was made out. As soon as he
went over the papers. Postmaster-General
Cortelyou. who Is the author of tho
President's order afTectlng postmasters,
decided that Mr. Nettleton should be re
tained. If he coukl bring it about, and he
atraightway made a recommendation to
this effect. When the President reviewed
Mr. Nettleton record and when he saw
the documents which proved th motlvo
of Mr. Heyburn and others, he promptly
sent Mr. NettletonV name to the Senate.
And that ended it
This case Li ImpocLuU beyond the lim
its at the tovti of Nampa. The policy
laid down Is general In scope and applies,
to all postorfices. large and small. In every
quarter of the United States, it means
that! any postmaster with a good record
will "be protected and retained in office,
and if furthermore mean-, that no post
master will be removed at the behest of
Senators or Congressmen, merely be
cause he may have declined to pay a po
litical campaign assessment. Indeed, this
case may be construed to mean that no
federal officeholder reed contribute a cent
to a political campaign fund In ordor to
hold his office.
