THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 1913. GERMANY ALWAYS AMERICA'S FRIEND Count von Bernstorff at Lin coln Banquet Points Out Long Good Feeling. NO JAR MARS RELATIONS Bismarck Quoted as Saying That No Difference Ever Arose Between Two Nations Which So Much as Called for Explanation. SPRINGFIELD. 111., Feb. 12. Count von Bernstorff, German Ambassador to the United States, was guest of honor at the banquet given by the Lincoln Centennial Association tonight. "Abra ham Lincoln as the Germans Regarded Him," was the subject of his address In addition to showing that the Ger mans were keenly sympathetic with the character and purpose of Lincoln, the Ambassador quoted eminent thorlties to show what a strong bond of sincere friendship welded together tne common Interests of Germany and the United States In Lincoln's day. He closed with the fervent wish that "such relations of friendship between our two countries may always continue. Nations Interests Interwoven. The Count referred to the days when the United States was re-presented in Berlin by George Bancroft, "whose at titude assured him a cordial accept anct- in Berlin. He was received into the inner circles of scholarly, social and political life, and formed habits of friendship with Bismarck and Moltke. The political situation of Europe was such that Bancroft regarded the uni tarian tendencies In both countries as correlating." He then quoted Bancroft as declar ing: "But for the triumph of the Union in America it could never have succeeded in Germany." Moltke was quoted to show the friendship between the Germans and Americans. The Count then recalled a dinner given by Bancroft In Berlin the day of the Inauguration of President Grant. Bin m arc k Is Quoted. "Bismarck was among the guests," related the Ambassador, "and made a short speech. After referring to the times of Frederick the Great, Bismarck continued: ' 'As to the subsequent relations be tween the two countries it gives me the greatest pleasure to be able to state as a fact, not only from my per sonal experience as a Minister of Prus sia, but from the archives of Its his tory, that the cordial understanding, so happily inaugurated by Washington and Frederick, has never suffered even the slightest Jar. Not only has no dif ference ever arisen between the two countries, but nothing has even oc curred between them which so much as called for an explanation.'" After this quotation from Bismarck, Count Bernstorff concluded with the hope that this bond of friendship would remain unbroken. Bailey Warns of Socialism. Senator Bailey, of Texas, declared that the man who deceived himself into thinking that the Government of this country or the states could be conducted without the aid of political parties, was grossly mistaken. He said tltat If we continued in the bad habiff of recent years of feeling ourselves at liberty to dissolve party connections when It pleased us. with the knowledge that we would be permitted to renew affiliations when it seemed to our Interest, parties must disappear and the American people must be divided into groups. "It is impossible," he said, "to ac complish anything as a Democrat, a Republican, or a Progressive, unless we acknowledge the obligations of party allegiance. Much as I abhor socialism. I give unstinted praise to the union of that party, and I warn you Democrats. Republicans and Progres sives that If you go on quarrelling over small matters, the next generation will be compelled to reckon with a growth of Socialism. is now known as the Linden-KJbbe Con struction Company.

This Remedy Regarded as Not En tirely Adequate, So Supervision of Decisions on Constitution Is Favored. NEW YORK. Feb. 13. Colonel Roosevelt tonight returned to the sub ject of the decision of the Supreme Court of Idaho in the election cases and again voiced the opinion that this decUIon constituted an "even graver offense against justice and decency and an even greater blot on the American judiciary than the Dred Scott decision itself." The court he characterized as "the most potent instrument in this denial of justice." "Abraham Lincoln was no less guilty than the three men whom the Supreme Court of the State of Idaho imprisoned for contempt because they criticized. In less severe language than Lincoln, a decision as Indefensible from every standpoint of law and justice and popular right?, as the Dred Scott decis ion itself," the Colonel added. VrItlngn of Lincoln Quoted. Colonel Roo3eveit spoke to Progress ives at their Lincoln birthday banquet. The first political utterance he has made in months, his address was per meated with passages from Lincoln's writings and speeches. In Lincoln's words, he replied to the critics of the Progressive party likened Republican leaders to the "old exclusive silk stocking 'Whiggery' which opposed Lincoln before the Civil War," and de clared that the time had come for the people to act as the court of last re sort. , "In Idaho," he said, "the result was as grave a miscarriage of justice at the election as already occurred at the nominating convention and the court became the most potent Instrument in this denial of Justice. This decision I hold to have been an outrage upon the people of Idaho, and not merely upon them, but upon the people of all the United States, for any Interference with the right of an American in any state to cast his vote and have it counted for the President of his choice Is an offense against the Americans of all the states. Court Called "Reactionary." "I think the result of the vote showed that if we had been given our clear and undoubted rights, Idaho s electoral vote would have been in the Progressive column. The action of the reactionary court, taken in combina tion with the action of the Republican machine, resulted in the deprivation of the right of the people of Idaho to express their choice for President. "Abraham Lincoln said that he be lieved the Dred Scott decision repre sented a conspiracy against liberty be tween the then Supreme Court and the leading officers of the reactionary party to which the Supreme Court belonged. believe that with even more justice Abraham Lincoln, If alive today, could make the same statement about the action of the reactionary court of Idaho in connection -with the reaction ary leaders of the Republican machine of Idaho. "Abraham Lincoln was no more or less guilty than the three men whom the Supreme Court of the State of Idaho have imprisoned for contempt because they criticized, in less severe language than Abraham Lincoln, a de cision as indefensible from every stand point of law and justice and popular righta as the Dred Scott decision itself. "A case like that in Idaho shows the need of the power of popular recall of the judiciary, a need which I believe could probably best be met by having the judges appointed or elected for life, but subject on petition to recall by popular vote every two years. Hake hop Decision Cited. "This action would not, however, meet all the difficulties of the case. In this state, for instance, there have been many well-meaning judges, who, in certain cases, usually affecting labor, have rendered decisions which were wholly improper, wholly reactionary and fraught with the gravest injustice to those classes of the community standing most in need of justice. What Is needed here is not the right to re call the judge, who In some one in stance gives a mistaken and reaction ary interpretation of its constitution, but the right of the people themselves to express, after due deliberation, their definite judgment as to what the con stitution shall permit In the way of legislation for social and industrial justice. "I hold that in such a case as the bakeshop case, in such a case as the workman's compensation act, in such a case as the tenement-house sugar factory act, in such a case as the act providing for the safeguarding against dangerous machinery. In such a case as the eight-hour law, that It is for the people themselves to decide whether such a law Is or is not to stand on the statute books. I do not care whether you call this action of theirs construing the constitution or making the constitution. I care for the fact and not for the name." Many Women Present. Many of the conspicuous figures in the Pregresslve campaign last Fall gathered for the dinner. Many women were present. Albert J. Beveridge, Progressive candidate for Governor of Indiana at the last election; Oscar S. Straus, who ran for Governor In New York ; William H. Hotchktss, former Progressive state chairman, and ex Congressman W. Bourke Cockran, also made speeches. Colonel Roosevelt also declared un equivocally against the amalgamation of the Republican and Progressive par Mes, as recently proposed by one of the leaders in the Progressive cam paign last Fall. l "The Progressive party," he said, "will amalgamate with neither of the two old parties, both of which are boss controlled and privilege-ridden. We believe that in each of these parties, however, there are hundreds of thou sands of good honest men and women who are progressives. The only place for them Is in our party."

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, February 12. (Special.) Un precedented growth and development in the past two years, and indications for uninterrupted advancement during the next biennium is. In brief, the context of tile blenntal report of the Board of Regents of Oregon Agricultural Col lege. The report gives a digest of all the work accomplished by the college and the agricultural experiment station, together with careful calculation as to the requirements of the college and sta tion in order to place the institution In position to meet the demands of the next two years. While the report gives in detail all changes In the faculty and courses of instruction, and explains that the en trance requirements have been raised, the statistical portion of the book shows that, despite the raised standard, the enrollment of regular students in creased 2 per cent in 1911-12, and that the short course students increased 40 per cent. This increased enrollment varies widely in the different courses offered at the institution, running from 16 per cent in art and architecture to 159 per cent in botany and plant pathology. In the science departments, where the work is pre-requisite for all the tech nical courses, and where the most room and equipment are required, the enroll ment has increased from 72 to 169 per cent.

In instructional staff and In funds has been taxed to the limit for the past two years, and that adequate provision should be made for the work of the new biennium. The detailed statement of registra tion shows the enrollment In 1910-11 to have been 1778 and in 1911-12 2S68. GIRL'S 40-DAY FAST FATAL Idaho Teacher Succumbs to Treat ment for Stomach Trouble.

Uniform Prices Fixed and Rebates Given Jobbers Is Charge by Prosecution. CLEVELAND, Feb. 12. Sensational charges are contained in a civil anti trust suit for the dissolution of the Cleveland Stone Company and its sub sidiaries, filed here today by order of Attorney-General Wickersham. To acquire a monopoly In the build ing, paving, curbing and grindstone business, the "stone trust" is charged with influencing architects "by a money consideration or by conferring favors" to specify its stone in their building plans, maintaining a separate organiza tion of its subsidiaries to enable them to appear as competitors In bidding for contracts, fixing prices of building, pav ing and curbing stones in the Central States, and controlling the price of grindstones throughout the United States by agreement with jobbers and rebating.

It also acts as a tonic to the hair follicles. Is not sticky, do-s not rub off or color the scalp, and is both cheap and highly satisfactory In every way. Make sure you are getting Barbo Compound. If the druggist hasn't It in stock, ask him to get It for you. More than 4000 suffrage meetings have been held in Great Britain during the lait four months.
