HANCOCK. Jlich.. Feb. 26. Prelim
inary to a trip tomorrow into the cop
per mines, the Congressional committee
investigating conditions in this dis
trict spent today in visiting settlements
and learning- at first hand how the
mine workers live. In the meantime
the operators and strikers adjusted
their dispute over the selection of a
practical miner to accompany the com
mitteemen underground.. The mine in
spectors of Keweenaw and Houghton
Counties were chosen.
Four members of Congress expect to
make the trip into the depths of the
earth. Representative Casey, who
worked In the coal mines of Pennsyl
vania when a boy. is suffering from a
cold, but hopes to make the trip. '
The investigators probably will be
underground the greater part of the
day. The strikers will have an oppor
tunity to help select the workings to
be inspected.
Committee Inspects Ground.
The committeemen spent the morning
in South Range, visiting Painesdale,
Tri-Mountaln. Baltic and the village
of South Range. They Inspected the
premises where the Painesdale murders
were committed; went through a dry
house, where the miners bathe and
change their clothes after coming out
of the mine: then they finished visit
ing the bunkhouse where the strike
breakers are quartered. Representa
tives of both the mineowners and the
strikers accompanied them.
In the afternoon the investigators
Journeyed to Calumet and were shown
over the Calumet & Hecla properties.
The Red Jacket mine, penetrating the
earth to a depth of more than 8000 feet,
excited great interest. They appeared
to bo particularly Impressed with the
great pots of chacoal. glowing at the
mouth of the shaft to take the chill
from the air drawn Into the deep
workings.
Employes Are latervlened.
On a trip through the Calumet &
Hecla machine shops, the Congressmen
stopped frequently to talk with old em
ployes and to inquire into their wages
and their working conditions. They
next visited the public bathhouse main
tained by the company for the benefit
of Its employes and watched several
miners off duty disporting themselves
in the swimming pool. They were
taken through the high school, hous
ing 1100 students. They spent some
time In the library, also maintained by
the company, which they were informed
was still used by the strikers and their
children.
Representative Switzer got his fir3t
glimpse of a mounted deputy at Ah
meek, in Keweenaw County, and he
stopped to talk with him.
The mine workers were at supper
when the party invaded the bunkhouses
at Ahmeek. They were separated ac
cording to nationality. Representative
Howell asked several of them If they
were satisfied with their work and
felt they were at liberty to leave at
any time in spite of the presence of
guards. The reply aa invariably In
the ufflrmatlve.

editorial In The Oregoniaa bearing the
caption "Oregon's Next Governor," pre
senting a platform upon which you as
sert a candidate could win, or that he
should win.
I agree with you arra am serious in
my request that you -refer to this
plank in my platform: " . . I hope
to be able to reduce - expenses by re
duction of the number of salaried of
ficeholders and commissions to the low
est number consistent with efficient
service. To this and a careful scrutiny
of their expenditures I stand hereby
committed."
Thai these are not idle promises, I
wish to inform you that for the past
three weeks, together with a number
of friends, I have been investigating
the work assigned to the various bodies
and commissions by law, with a view
of how best to eliminate or consolidate
them for the purpose of retrenchment.
Not wishing. In case of my nomina
tion and election, to wait until the
close of my term of office before in
augurating these reforms, I called a
number of friends together the evening
of the day I made my formal announce
ment, and explained that we should in
vestigate, and then prepare such an
Initiative measure as would eliminate
the unnecessary taxeater and place
the affairs of the state upon a purely
business basis. This, not with a desire
to attack any public office or officer,
as I wished, as Governor, to be upon
amicable terms with all other officers
whom, the people have intrusted, as
friendly intercourse among officials
tends to the efficiency of all.
I also stated to my friends that If
they would assist me in the prepara
tion of such a law, I would see that
it was proposed as an initiative meas
ure and submitted to the people to be
voted upon at the November election,
even if I failed to receive the Demo
cratic nomination. Among these friends
are men occupying every walk of life.
Now ' that Governor West has an
nounced his Intention of appointing
Just such a committee to prepare a
commendable law. I and I am sure my
friends will do all in our power to ren
der every assistance possible. I am
sure that the committee appointed by
Governor West, having the best in
terests of the people in view, will pre
sent such a measure that we all can
support and feel, in doing so, that
we are eliminating all superfluous ex
penditures and that "we have struck
the keynote of efficient Teform."
The suggestion that the Governor be
empowered to veto any single item in
an appropriation bill should commend
Itself to all. JOHN MANNING.

Thompson, elder and secretary of the
North - Pacific Union of the Seventh
Day Adventist Church, which met here
in biennial convention today.
Elder Thompson was speaking of
church socials, suppers and similar
festivals and he denounced roundly
these methods of making ' money.
C W. Flaiz, president of the confer
ence, scored cheap literature, cheap
theaters and shameful fashions in
dress, declaring that theso tended to
break down the moral fiber of society.
President Flaiz predicted troublous
times for the Advestist by "the per

ligious legislation." He predicted a
gigantic struggle between Protestants
and Roman Catholics.
Elder Thompson said the Adventlsts

Vancouver Favors Dredge Plan.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 26. The Vancouver Com
mercial Club has urged Senator Cham
berlain to secure the approval of Major
Morrow's plan for the construction of
& new harbor dredge for Vancouver
and the Oregon harbors aa the only
feasible plan for doing tne necessary
dredging for these harbors. ..
Language of former Treaty, Which
Granted Equality of Terms to
Both Xations, Changed for
Definite Reason.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 26. Senator Borah, of
Idaho, radically differs from President
Wilson on the question of exempting
.oastwise vessels from the payment of
tolls at the Panama Canal, and par
ticularly contends that, the law as it
stands does not violate the treaty
agreement with Great Britain. In an
authorized statement, discussing this
question. Senator Borah says:
"It does not admit of discussion, of
course, that if we have entered into
a treaty with Great Britain by which
we have yielded up our right to direct
our domestic commerce, unfortunate as
.it may be and remarkable as it certain
ly would be, we must nevertheless live
up to it. No one is urging that we dis
regard our treaty obligations. There
are those who have no doubt as to the
fact that the treaty does not Inhibit
our relieving our domestic or coastwise
trade from tolls. I should favor stand
ing by the treaty, but I am not at all
In sympathy with the maudlin senti
mentality which would resolve all mere
questions of doubt against us.
British Contention Not Proved.
"If a man brings me Into court and
charges- that I have violated my con
tract the burden Is upon him. Eng
land utterly fails to meet the required
showing. The most that she has tieen
able to do is to raise a doubt as to the
construction of the treaty, a construc
tion about which disinterested jurists
and publicists have differed.
"It Is clear to my mind, taking into
consideration the history and the lan
guage of the treaty, that our conten
tion for tree tolls may well be justi
fied and fully sustained. John Hay
was not unfamiliar with the use of
clear and explicit language and must
be ranked among our great diplomats.
It is not - at all probable that Hay
would have yielded up so important a
matter as control over our domestic af
fairs and over what Is now a portion of
our own territory without making clear
his protest and he would have only
yielded to it under great necessity.
But the correspondence does not dis
elose anywhere so far as I have been
able to find that Mr. Hay ever con
templated that he was doing this thing.
lianguage Changed for Purpose.
"The lata Clay ton-Bui wer treaty used
language in regard to the equality of
terms between Great Britain and the
United States which could not be and
never was misunderstood. The lan
guage in the old treaty stood for 50
years and no one has raised a question
as to the equality of treatment exacted
by that language. This language was
to the effect that neither party should
have any advantage "through the said
canal which shall not be offered on the
same terms to the citizens or subjects
of the other." There can be no doubt
as to what this language means. Hav
ing this language before them in the
old treaty, why was it taken out and
other language used which under any
theory must be devious and ambiguous.
If It was the Intention of the contract
ing, parties to preserve the same equal
ity In the new treaty that was pre
served In the old why did they aban
don the clear and unmistakable lan
guage of the old for the language used
in the new treaty? I do not think Eng
land at the time ever supposed she was
getting any other equality than that
of equality with the other nations of
tho earth so that the United States
could not favor one foreign nation to
the disadvantage of another, as it was
the United States that was making the
rules and establishing the regulations.
"The treaty, if the view which others
claim Is correct, also forbids our forti
fying the canal. The logic of the con
tention of those who are against free
tolls would make the building of the
canal a stupendous error, if not a disaster."

Senators Inclined to Innlst on Reten

Wants to Avoid Expense.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. Conferees of
the Senate and House on points at is
sue in the Alaskan railroad bill tried
vainly today to reach an agreement
as to the method of financing the pro
posed Government line.
Although It had been understood that
the Senate members of the committee
would accept the action of the House
in eliminating from the bill the pro
vision for a $40,000,000 bond issue, they
were inclined today to insist on re
taining this feature. The Senators ar
gued that a bond issue would be re
sorted to only in the event that funds
from the Treasury were not available,
but the House conferees opposed the
proposition on the general ground that
bond issues were expensive and the
Government should avoid them when
ever possible.

BERLIN, Feb. 26. The budget com

WASHINGTON.. Feb. 26. Publicity
given to recent executive proceedings
in the Senate., it developed today has
so aroused some members of that body
that a resolution has been introduced
and referred to the committee on rules,
directing the committee on foreign re
lations to investigate into the sources
from which the executive information
is obtained.
Publication of incidents in the debate
on the general arbitration treaties last
week precipitated discussion which
gave rise to the resolution which was
Introduced In a subsequent executive
session by Senator Kern, of Indiana.
Senators were accused of violating
their oaths in revealing executive af
fairs and one Senator proposed that a
law be enacted which would make it a
penal offense for anyone to publish
facts relating to matters held secret
under the Senate rules.
The suggestion precipitated lively
debate behind closed doors, many Sen
ators vigorously opposing such action.
One Senator declared that in this
day of growing public opinion against
secrecy in legislation, a law to penalizo
publicity would arouse such a wave of
indignation that It would be impos
sible of enforcement. Several members
asserted they would be willing to de
fend anyone accused under such a law
and would guarantee an acquittal In
every case.

A-WOMAN'S HEALTH
Every woman's health is peculiarly
dependent upon the condition of her
blood. How many women suffer with
headache, pain in the back, poor appe
tite, weak digestion, a constant feeling
of weariness, palpitation of the heart,
shortness of breath, pallor and ner
vousness? If you have any of these
symptoms, do not despair of getting
better but begin now, today, to build
up your blood with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. See how the nervous energy of
the body is restored as the blood be
comes pure and red and the entire sys
tem is strengthened to meet every de
mand upon it.
Dr. Williams', Pink Pills are useful
for all women but they are particu
larly valuable to girls of school age
who show symptoms of going into
decline, who become pale, nervous and
languid. These pills aid in securing
perfect development and health by
strengthening the system and purify
ing and building up the blood. Thin
blood during the growing years of a
girl's life usually means a flat-chested
and hollow-cheeked womanhood. There
can be neither health nor beauty with
out red blood which gives brightness
to the eyes and color to cheeks and
lips.
