Joint Statehood for Southwest Territories Finally Killed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Nov. IS. Three "stand pat" Republican members of the House of Representatives were defeated at the recent election, simply and solely because of their refusal to recognize the growing demand for tariff revision; all were from the Middle West, where the Iowa idea is making; most rapid progress. McCleary, of Minnesota; Lacey, of Iowa, and Fred Landis. of In diana, are the three. All three made speeches in the past session of Con gress in which they loudly proclaimed the stand-pat doctrine. McCleary not only opposed a reduc tion of certain schedules, but advocated a general raising of the tariff wall. He is the one man in the entire Congress who believes that the tariff should be revised upward. Two years ago Mc Cleary was elected by a majority of over 13.000: this year he was defeated by a tariff revision Democrat. Mq Cleary did not represent the views of the people of his district; he thought he could educate them to his way of thinking, and he paid the price of his conceit. Lacey is another good old Republican who had a majority of over 9000 in 1004, and this year he was defeated by a Democrat, whose majority was over 1200. Lacey fought the Iowa idea and opposed Governor Cummins. His per sonal popularity did not make up for the votes he lost because he refused to recognize the trend of tariff sentiment in his district. Fred Landis, the third "stand-pat" martyr, was a new man in Congress, but a brilliant speaker, and his stand pat speech, a classic of its kind, cost him his seat. Like McCleary and Lacey, young Landis failed to keep his ear to the ground, and. when the votes were counted, he was the most sur prised man in Indiana. A curious incident in connection with the defeat of Major Lacey occurred shortly after Lacey made his strong speech on the sacredness of the Ding ley tariff last Suring. He was an swered by Rainey, of Illinois, who con cluded his reply with these words: "Answer me, if you can; for unless you do. when the roll of the Sixtieth Congress is made up, it will be found that you and your stand-pat hobby have been left at home." Gompers No Politician. Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, may be a wise man in many respects, but Re is no politician. Gompers is perfectly at home in a labor union meeting, but in a political campaign he is out of his element. In the middle of the Summer Gompers addresed a letter to every candidate for Congress, demanding to know his position on all legislation in which Gompers was interested legis lation affecting labor particularly union labor. Based on the replies he received, Gompers made up a black list including all those whose an swers did not suit him; those who would not pledge themselves to vote on labor legislation as he might desire or demand. When the election returns came in, it was found that not a man marked for slaughter had been de feated, but on the other hand, several were returned by increased majorities. Gompers centered his fight on Little field, of Maine, and on Speaker Cannon. Cannon had a majority this year that passed his majority of two years ago by fully $2000. He seemed to fatten on Gompers' opposition. Joint Statehood Is Dead. Arizona having voted down the propo sition submitted in the statehood law of the last session and put an end to the plan of joining Arizona and New Mexico as a single state, it is to be expected that bills will be introduced this Winter and in the next Congress proposing to admit each territory separately into the Union. If this is done, the bills will not receive consideration. The Arizona men instru mental in defeating the original Bever idge statehood bill, wuich proposed to force joint statehood on the two terri- tories, stated repeatedly when in Wash Range toward the sea. Several times the smoke from ships plying up and down the coast has been seen from the heights. The view from the other side of the hills is of a different nature, the country being less open, but as full of charm. Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks, who gave to the city 17 of the 78 acres of the park.

LIPMAN, WOLFE & CO. lngton that Arizona would be perfectly willing to remain a territory indefinitely rather than come into the Union yoked with New Mexico, and they gave their promise that they would not a.sk for separate statehood until their territory had developed and their population ma terially increased. These men were sin cere and there is no reason to believe that they will go back on their word. New Mexico, on the other hand. V wilu for statehood at any price, and will renew her efforts to secure admission singly. It is not likely that the delegates from Arizona will introduce a separate statehood bill, but some fool friend of the territory probably will do so. If separate statehood bills are presented this Winter, or next, they will not be reported, and the majority of the people of Arizona will not be in the slightest degree disap pointed. The opposition can reasonably say that the territories had an oppor tunity to come into the Union and re fused to avail themselves of the privilege. The time will come when statehood will be granted Arizona and New Mexico, but not until each is qualified to enter the Union as a separate state. Depew Recovers His Xerve. Senator Depew has recovered his nerve and his health and is coming to Washing ton to spend the Winter. It is hard to tell why ne comes, for he does nothing in Congress; he does not render his state the slightest service, and for all practical purposes his seat might as well remain vacant. Depew is one of the most spec tacular failures that ever entered the Senate. Up to the time he was elected Senator, Chauncey Depew was regarded as a big man: he was thought to be a power in financial circles, a humorist of National reputation and a man of great influence in every way. How he got the reputation is hard to ascertain. He has never shown the slightest indication of greatness in the. Senate: he has not even sustained his reputation as a hum orist. There has never been a great speech by Depew; there has never been an important bit of legislation bearing his name: he has never achieved distinc tion in a single committee of which he has been a member, and a microscope would fail to disclose the faintest impression .Mt he has left on the important legislation that has been enacted since he came to Congress. Deoew tried to re-enter the Senate last Winter after' his Infamous connection with the life insurance com panies had been exposed, but he could not stand the glare of his colleagues and of the galleries, so he went into retire ment. Public disgust has somewhat sub sided and Depew is going to try it again in December. His presence in the Senate may be tolerated, but it will not be en couraged. If Depew realiy wanted to serve the people of New York, he would resign; he Is of no use to them here, and never will be. COAL TRAIN RUNS AWAY Conductor Killed and Brakeman Taken Dying From Wreck.

RESOURCES ARE LIMITLESS Addressing National Geographical Society, ex-Portlander Says More Friendly Relations With ITn cle Sam Are Assured. WASHINGTON. Nov. 18. (Special.) South American countries, especially Co lombia, were lauded by John Barrett, United States Minister to Colombia, dur ing an address at National Rifles Hall last Friday evening. His theme was "Co lombia: A Land of Possibilities." and he had as an audience members of the National Geographic Society and their friends. Nearly 1000 persons were present. Mr. Barrett stated that material de velopment is under way in the various South American countries. He predicted that .the industry now being displayed will soon be felt and recognized by all the world, and that the present attitude of the United States toward the South American people, which is of a patroniz ing nature, will change to one of a friendlier and co-operative type. The lecture embraced a general descrip tion of South America, a large map, upon a screen, being used. The principal cities and seaports were mentioned and the route taken by Secretary Root on his re cent visit made clear. "Owing to Mr. Root's modesty the peo ple of the United States have not re ceived half an Idea of the really royal honors which were accorded him," the lecturer said. . Pays Tribute to Koot. Mr. Barrett declared that had Mr. Root been the President of the United States or a prince or noted foreign potentate greater homage could not have been paid him. It was added that in one city where Mr. Root and his family were staying additional street lights were erected in front of his temporary home, and the line of the trolley road was ex tended in front of his house In order that he would not have to walk three or four blocks in case he wanted to ride on the cars. Regarding the inhabitants of the South American cities, Mr. Barrett said the greater percentage are well educated and refined, a large number of them having attended European universities, and that the larger cities are the centers of great learning, literature and art, equal to any American or European city. "Although not the largest South Ameri can country," Mr. Barrett explained. "Colombia is one of the most important and richest. One of its peculiarities is that its shores border on both the Atlan tic and Pacific oceans, and that it is the nearest country in South America to the United States according to its topogra phy. This country Is naturally resource ful, and the inhabitants, are energetic and did gift, said: "We have been think ing of something of ' this kind for some time, and when I learned the Council wanted to get this park site, I made arrangements for the land be cause I wanted the city to have a big enough park to serve Its purpose for years to come, and I didn't want to see industrious. It is a field which should appeal directly to the United States. The agricultural districts are wonderfully fer tile and productive. Timber is plentiful; there is no end of copper, from which the government is at the present time re ceiving more than a millkm dollars a year revenue; the gold and silver mines are equal to any In the world, South America included, and one of the richest emerald mines is located in the center of Colom bia. Plenty or Coal. "Coal is particularly abundant." Mr. Barrett continued. "If all the coal mines in the United States should shiit down to morrow there would be enough coal in this country to supply the demand. Corn, wheat, coffee, oranges and sugar are grown to a large extent, and it will pro duce an amount of iron, platinum, quick silver and copper within a few years which will astonish the world." To illustrate the size of Colombia, Mr. Barrett said that it is larger than Ger many. Belgium and Holland combined, and that it comprises more territory than all of the states of the United States east of the Ohio river, with Indiana thrown In. He pointed out that Colombia has more than 1200 miles of seacoast, upon which are :t present located several creditable ports. However, he is of the opinion that the land of the interior of thus country is better than the coast land. "There is a plateau in the center of Colombia." Mr. Barrett remarked, "which, to my mind, is the most beautiful and agreeable spot on earth, and I am in a position to know." The lecturer concluded by saying the United States will be benefited by bring ing its relations closer with the Latin Americans. He pointed out that the ex ports from South America to the United States last year amounted to $3,000,000 and the imports amounted to W.700.000. The Imports to South America from Europe, he stated, amounted to more than $13,- 000,000. ' After his lecture Mr. Barrett had about 50 pictures of the South American cities and countries thrown upon the screen, many of the scenes being in and around Bogota, the capital of Colombia. Professor Willis L. Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau and presi dent of the Geographic society, intro duced Mr. Barrett, speaking of him as a brilliant diplomat, a- keen observer and an incisive thinker.

I am glad if th people are satisfied with what Mrs. Hen dricks and I have done. This has always been our home, and these are our people. What we have we have made here, and we are very glad that we could help in the selection of what I think will be as beautiful a park as any city can have." y DAYS OF TERROR ENDED EPIDEMIC OF CRIME WAXES AT PITTSBCRG. Police Believe Band of Expert Crim inals Has Departed After Escaping Arrest. PITTSBURG. Nov. 1. The epidemi' of crime that has swept over this city and vicinity since November 2 has ap parently run its course and today only a few small burglaries were reported. During the 16 days three murders were committed, carbolic acid was thrown in one woman's face, disfiguring her for life, half a hundred men were badly beaten, a hundred or more men and women were held up on the streets at the point of revolvers and robbed, houses in all sections of the city were entered and thousands of dollars' worth of plunder stolen. Scores of suspicious persons have been arrested and sent to the work house, 200 additional policemen were added to the force, and large rewards were offered for the arrest of the mur derers of James A. McMillen and Henry F. Smith. Detectives came here from other cities and endeavored to capture the marauders, but notwithstanding the combined efforts of the authorities they failed to 3rrest any person direct ly implicated in the outrages. A few days following the McMillen murder holdups were so frequent tnit persons compelled to be out late armed themselves. The police express the be lief now that the outrages were com mitted by a roving band of expert crim inals who have departed for other fields. AT MERCY OF RADICALS Result of Election Programme as Xow Prepared in Cuba. HAVANA, Nov. IS. General Ruis divora, who last night decided to dis continue his personal efforts to organ ize a conservative party, spoke as fol lows to the Associated Press corre spondent tonight: "The organization of a party in op position to the Liberals has merely been deferred, owing to the uncertain ty with regard to the course of the provisional government in the matter of holding Cuban elections. As far aa I have been able to ascertain from Governor Magoon. the United States proposes to cany out the pledges made to the Liberals and hold elections next June, provided conditions warrant. This Involves the election of only that half of the members of Congress whose seats became vacant as a consequence of declaring the last election void. "Should this programme be carried out. it would result in the placing of commercial, industrial and financial in terests at the mercy of the radical element. What the conservatives de sire is the re-election of the entire Congress. Such a referendum would show clearly what kind of government the Cuban people want, and I believe it would result in a conservative tri umph.
