THE MORXING OREGOXTAX, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1908. OVATION TO CLARK J BY BOTH PARTIES! Missouri Orator Convulses the House With Good-Humored, Satirical Speech. TALKS OF PYRRHIC VICTORY TtepubHcan Majority Diminishes and He Predicts It Will Vanish Dalzell's Conversion Gives Hope of Tariff Revision. -S AaHINGTO". Feb. 33. General de- bale on the legislative appropriation bill van brought to a close In 'the House today after a eession full of interest and enter tainment. Several speeches were made on the issues of the day, the most notable being by Champ Clark of Missouri, who commanded the attention of the House for an hour and a half. Upon the con clusion of his remarks he was accorded an ovation by Democrats and Republicans alike. Clark arraigned the Republicans for their attitude on the tariff question and said that the announcement that there would be a revision of the tariff after election was simply "in preparation of an other stupendous confidence game on the people." lie discussed the President's message and said that, whatever his vir tue or his faults, the President was not a Democrat. Other speakers were Ray ner, Illinois; Tirrell. Gillctt. Massachu setts, and Hammond, Indiana, all of whom discussed various phases of the tariff question. Against Koosevelt Third Terra. In opening Clark asserted that a rea sonable view should be taken on matters touching the President, but that it bad not been done as a rule. "He is such a belligerent personage," he declared, "that his lightest word Is a challenge to combat." Individually, he wished the President well until March 4, 1909, when he hoped the President would quit forever, "for no President will ever be elected to a third term till the Republic is on its last legs." The President's public life, said Mr. Clark, had been one long succession of epectaculaJr fights. ' "No man had been more viciously as sailed by men of his own party, and none was ever, while still in the flesh, so lavishly lauded by some of the op posing party. "But," he Bald, "the truth is that this extraordinary man has waxed stronger and stronger by wag ing hi battles. Even defeat had made him a larger and more commanding figure. So, amid the swirl of things, the deluge of words, the shouting of the- captains, the beating of tom-toms, the groanj of crippled Republicans, the yells of friend and foe, one who is a personal friend of Theodore Roosevelt, the man, but political opponent of Roosevelt, politician or statesman, has but little chance of being heard." Clark spoke of his personal liking for the President and said that, al-f though after the manner of strong men the President had pronounced virtues nd glaring faults of character, he had never abused him nor had he grown hysterical in admiration of him, but he had supported him when he was right and fought him, "tooth and nail," when he was wrong. He believed that was the way the President should be treated. Republican Pyrrhus Victories. Clark spoke of the claim that Presi dent Roosevelt was better than his party, "which fact," he said, "could easily be established without running any imminent danger of his being translated after the manner of Elijah in a chariot of fire by reason of his goodness." Referring to the last campaign Clark charged that "sundry Republican Representatives'" sought and obtained from the President "certifieates of Re publican good character" to help them pull through. So doubtful were the Re publican managers of results in the last campaign, said Clark, that the President was induced to write "the famous letter" to "my dear Mr. Wat son," which, he said, was blanket in dorsement of all Republican candidate for Congress "except the unfortunate Mr. Wadsworth." Notwithstanding that letter, he said, the Republican majority in the House had been reduced from 114 to 56. He depicted Speaker Cannon, to whom he referred as "Uncle Joe," studying the returns, repeating the sad exclama tion of Pyrrhus, King of Eplrus, when surveying a hard-won field: "Another such victory and we are undone." Addressing himself still further to the Republicans. Clark exclaimed: "And the signs of the times indicate that even the ready letter writer In the White House cannot write enough letters between this and the first Tues day after th6 first Monday in November to give you another majority in this House." Who Caused the Panic? lie predicted that on March 4, 1909, j a Democratic President would be in- ' nugurated, "backed by such a Demo cratic majority in this House as will induce even a Republican Senate to enact into law the people's will." Coming to the subject of the recent financial disturbance, Clark laid it at the door of the Republicans. The elf-constituted defenders of the Pres ident, he said, charged that "Harriman and his crowd did it, while, on the other hand, Harriman and his crowd swear that the President and his crowd did it." It did not become an innooent by stander, he asserted, to 'decide which were the ideal Republicans. One thing wo do know, he said, "and that is that Mr. Harriman was a delegate to the Republican National Convention which nominated Colonel Roosevelt by a unanimous vote, and that he was a lib. eral contributor to me Republican campaign fund." It therefore, he said, did not He In the mouths of Republicans to disown him, for he was once "My Dear Mr. Harri inan." hot he was another sort of Harri man. beginning with a big "D," but he charged Harriman was and Is a "Re publican of high degree." Even Dalzell Converted. H quoted from utterances of ex-Seo-retary 6haw that the money strin gency of 1S07 was the worst the world had ever witnessed, but, he said, Mr. Shaw might truthfully have said: "It la a Republican panic, and gives the lie direct to the Republican platform dec laration of 1904 that 'a Republican tariff is always followed by business prosperity and a Democratic tariff by business ad versity.' That fake is exploded." After poking fun at Payne's recent speech In the House, Clark turned his attention to Dalzell. If there was any person about the Capitol, said Clark, who was in sore need of abundant spiritual instruction, "as to the new Re publican evangel -of the tariff revision," it was Dalzell. He remarked that should Dalzell ever arise in his place in the House and unequivocally declare that 'he was earnestly in favor of general tariff revision downward, "the angcile choir should break forth in full chorus: " 'Sound the glad timbrel o'er land and o'er sea. Dalzell is converted; the country Is free.) "Until he does that," continued Clark, "I shall entertain doubts as to the sin cerity of these new advocates of tariff re- vision." Cold Day When There's No Message. Clark believed that one-third of all Republicans were honestly in favor of re vising the tariff downward, and referred to the declaration of Payne in favor of a maximum and minimum tariff. He asked if Payne was in favor of Williams' proposition to make the tariff 45 per cent of the Dingley rates, or the propo sion of ex-Representative McCleary, "to make the Dingley rates the minimum and the maximum the blue vault of heaven." In the midst of Clark's remarks one of the President's secretaries appeared hi the chamber with a message. Instantly there was general laughter. When the secre tary made his exit. Clark convulsed jthe House by declaring: "It is a cold day when the President doesn't eend a letter or message to some body." Clark's remarks were hailed with shouts of Democratic applause and shrieks of laughter on both sides of the chamber. INCREASE PAY OP SOLDIERS General Bell Recommends Schedule to House Committee.

His recommendation contained four dis tinct features: Creation of the grade of warrant officer for the promotion of de serving non-commissioned officers; read justment of initial rates of pay, so that they shall range from $15 to $42 as against the range of from $16 to $70 In the Navy; cash bonus of three montos pay for re- enlistment and an Increase of from to $9 in pay for high attainment in marks manahip. The corresponding Increase In the Navy is from $2 to $10. It was estimated by General Bell that. if these schedules are adopted, the aver age Increases in pay of enlisted men will be 33.3 per cent, making the average monthly pay $23.64 in the Army as against $33 in the Navy. In conclusion he said: I cannot too strongly urge the - adoption of this schedule in Its four essential fea tures. If any one of these four features la omitted, the whole plan will be veryuch weakened, and the benefit to the eervlce materially decreased. General Bell recommended increased pay for regular Army officials as suggested in the Hayward plan. MARINE CORPS BELOW QUOTA Bill Provides for More Officers and Enlisted Men. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. The urgent need of authorization by Congress of the recruiting of 3000 additional enlisted men and about 100 officers to bring the Marine Corps up to Its required quota was pre cented to a sub-committee of the House Committee on Naval Affairs by several naval officers. The additional men and officers are needed to complete the Ma rine Guards of vessels about to go into commission and to relieve enlisted men and officers serving in tropical climates. Two-thirds of the Marine Corps are now on duty in the Insular possessions, leav ing only one-third for continental service.

Cleary wished to know whether the Commission to revise the code of the Joint commission of Congress for the same pur pose had left that provision out of the code and Heyburn. in charge of the bill, said the committee had taken that part of the code from the committee without change. On motion, of Carter, the old law was substituted for the revised sections, with a penal clause added. . Make Banks Pay Interest.

The conference report on the urgent de ficiency appropriation bill was adopted. SAP LIFE BLOOD OF OCTOPUS Raiirey of Illinois Would Remove Tariff on Petroleum. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. That the fight of the Administration against the Standard OH Company was "Only a bluff" was asserted in the House of Representa tives today by Mr. Ralney, of Illinois, who spoke on his bill placing on the free list petroleum, crude or refined oil or its products. He did not think it was pos sible he said, to make a Presidential cam paign "on the strength of a $29,000,000 fine and some messages denouncing the Stan dard Oil Company. He had not heard of the fine being paid, and "its collection, like revision of the tariff, has been post poned until after the election." The real way and effective method of limiting the power of the Standard Oil Company, Mr. Ralney argued, was to remove the tariff of 15 cents a gallon on petroleum. "Do that," he said, "and admit Russian oil free, and you will have struck a blow at the Standard Oil or ganization." He charged that whenever a particular ly nefarious trust was threatened i with some Injury It rushed for protection to the Republican party. So long as the present schedule for oil remained, Mr. Ralney asserted, the Standard Oil Com pany, could afford to pay the $29,000,000 fine.

Senator Bourne today prepared and. is sending to every voter in Oregon a 1500-word circular letter bitterly denouncing the tra dueers of . the U'Ren-Schuebel-Bourne law. In his letter he says: Daily It Is becoming apparent that there. ts a aisposltlon on the part of certain In dividuals to overthrow the primary law and statement No. 1. Thoie who are lend ing themselves to this conspiracy are not very numerous, but are noisy, and public attention should therefore be called to the Issue their noise Involves. He lambasts the machine politicians and ridicules the idea that the primary law Is destroying- party organization. Mr. Bourne quotes. Lincoln, Roosevelt and Washington, saying that they all supported the principles underlying the primary law. He admits that the law and statement No. 1 are not per fect, but continues: But they have proven as reasonably ef fective as their hampering environments will permit and have given life and potency In Oregon at least to the public demand for the elimination of the boss and his machine from party control and have provided for the excuslon ot Oregon's United States SenatorshJpa from the auction block at Salem. Mr. Bourne says that the men who foisted the primary law onto the po litical system of Oregon "are in the very highest sense of the term Re publicans by nature." His circular concludes by urging his friends and constituents to vote strictly according to statement No. 1, declaring that only by so doing can they perpetuate Re publican party principles.
