DENVER. Feb. . The Rocky Moan tain News tomorrow will publish a statement by Judfcs Ben B. Linitsev. who recently returned f rem the East. In part as follows: "Theodore Roosevelt wDl sccept the Republican nomination Dor President. This Is not because he wants It or seeks It. but because the people are recall ing him to a Job be left unfinished. "The trend of events shaping to ward this result bsre not been brought about by anything Colonel Roosevelt baa done, but in spite of everything he could do honorably and Justly to avoid It. "I know this because of several visits to his home In the last year. He told me he would sccept the nomination If the call came from the people. "The friends of Roosevelt who es poused the cause of 8enator La Fol lette early In the campaign no doubt did so because they knew, with Roose velt eliminated, the hope of the pro gressives' was In Senator La Follette. However much the splendid campaign of Senator La Follette has contributed to the cause of the 'progressives.' they must recojtnlse the utter Impossibility of his nomination, and. therefore, the Impossibility of detesting President Taft for the nomination. except through this overwhelming call of the people for Colonel Roosevelt." Judge Llndsey then explains his connection with the Wood row Wilson Club here and continues: "Of course. I should be glsd to see Oovernor Wilson receive the Demo cratic nomination. He. is the ablest, strongest and best man the Democrats could put up and la the only man who has the slightest chance, of succeeding against Mr. Roosevelt. But my ad miration of Mr. Roosevlt for all he has accomplished and fkr what I be lieve he Is going to accomplish. Is such that I shsll support him as sgalnst any man nominated by the Democrats." to the city officers and It makes pos sible the placing of responsibility. The possible application of the com mission government to Portland brought out some outbursts of Democratic senti ment regarding the coming primaries and finally resulted In J. Jiennessy Murphy demanding that the Jackson Club corns out of what he called a "pussy-foot campaign" and announce Itself In fsvor of candidates. He closed with the statement that he believes the club should Indorse Dr. Harry Lane for Democratic candidate for Congress. Much applause followed. Wslter Campbell declared that H. B. Van Duser la a very likely candidate and would stand a chance of sweeping the atate by a vote of three to one. He also expressed the opinion that Gov ernor Wilson Is very much In fsvor In Oregon for the Presidential candidacy on the Democratic ticket. "I have traveled the state for a long time." said Mr. Campbell." and have looked Into the political situation care fully. I have not seen a Democrat who is not for Wood row Wilson." The an nouncement brought great applause." Mr. Van Duser announced that the Democrats are preparing to conduct a lively campaign thla year. He urged party members to prepare not only for the April primaries, but also for the long campaign following that up to ths general election in November. "In the past." said Mr. Van Duser." there have been many precincts where on election day there have been no clerks or Judges for the Democrsts. This Is a condition which must be eliminated. This Is particularly neces sary this year because the Democratic party will have more men on ths bal lot probably than ever before." E "PROGRESSIYISM" XOT REM EDT, SAYS WRITER.

Andrew Car negie today declined an Invitation by telegraph to address the Roosevelt state mass convention at Oklahoma City next Saturday. In his reply Mr. Carnegie declared he was an out-and-out sup porter of President Taft. Mr. Carnegie's answer, sent to A. K. Perry, the temporary chairman of the Oklahoma organization, reads: "Thanks for your invitation to ad dress the Roosevelt stale mass meet ing. Oklahoma. I beg to say that I am an out-and-out supporter of my friend Roosevelt's chosen favorite for the Presidency, who has so fully Jus tified the econiums he lavished upon him. It would be unfair not to give Presi dent Tsft a second term and I cannot believe ex-President Roosevelt Is not of this opinion. After Taft has served two terms it will be time enough to propose a successor. -ANDREW CARNEGIE." CONVICTS TO BE CHANGED Washington Board to Send 25 Men to Reformatory. OLTMPIA. Wash-. Feb. . (Special.) It was announced today that the tate Board of Control, following a con ference with Warden G S. Reed, of the State Penitentiary, and Superintendent C. B. Roef. of the State Reformatory. Intends to transfer Si prisoners at Walla Walla to tbs reformatory at Monroe. The prlaoners In question are deemed worthy of special conditions, as all are "first timers." This Is expected to settle the friction between the two Institutions. The board and the beads of the 11 Washington state Institutions also have agreed upon a set of business rules to be followed by all. which, it Is believed, will bring shout a more systematic check of sup plies and aid the board In buying Its semi-annual stocks for the institution. COMMISSION PLAN IS UP Democrats Discus System at Regu lar Meeting. The commission form of government and bow It works out was the subject of consideration Friday night by the Jackson Club at its regular semi monthly meeting bejd In the Medical building. Richard W. Montague led the discussion with a resume of the present forms of city government and a brief atatrment of the advantages of the commission government. He declsred the government by a few commissioners brings ths affairs of ths city nearer the people by making It possible for them to vote for a ferw substsntlal men whom they know Instead of "a grsat horde of elective office-holders whom they do not know." He said the com mission government gives ail the power LITTLE FALLS, Wash, Feb. I. (To the Editor.) New "progresslvlsm" Is old Populism. The essence of Populism was Gov ernment interference with business. The Government should provide ware houses for storing the farmer's pro duce and advance him money on It so he could hold for higher prices. The Government should coin all silver of fered snd compel its circulation at a false and arbitrary valuation. This was called "free" silver. The mind that entertalna one fallacy will greedily seise some other when the first Is abandoned. Since the passing of the free silver erase another has been de veloping involving the same idea of Government Interference. Trusts should be restricted, big business curbed, rail roads regulated. Now If you swallowed ths green back doctrine and later Indulged in ths free sliver erase, you should Join these so-called progressives or new Nation alists, nominate Bryan and La Follette on the same ticket, adopt for a plat form, as ths Populists did. the La mentations of Jeremiah, and try to penalise all successful bustness men. A course like this produced a panlo in 1393 and is causing slack times now. A man will listen to a Socialist ora tor and say. "I don't believe In all of Socialism, but I think some of their ideas are good." Socialism, being a doc trine of regulation for everything, will appeal somewhere to the average man who will want some other fellow reg u la ted. While it Is too Impracticable to win. it is influencing the trend of thought. Our Government is expected to do more and more things. A billion dollars a year is twice aa much aa it cost In Cleveland's first administra tion. Oregon's amount this year is higher than ever and Portland's expen ditures continue to Increase. This course of extending the activities of government. when "the Individual withers and the state Is more and more." Herbert Spencer calls "the com ing slavery." All government is re strlctlon and a much-regulated indi vidual, as in Germany, is not free. But the Socialists are more logical than those who advocate merely such things as Government regulation of railroad rates or operation of public utilities, for ir it can handle the most difficult business well, then it should be given all business to handle. Lang ley's airship. Government-built, wss expensive, large and Impressive, ex citing great expectations. It's only fault was it would not fly. Wright'! airship was small and unimpressive, Its. only merit was that it would By. But faith In Government agencies never falters. Some still advocate Govern ment regulaaon of aviation and ap propriations to advance the science. A wall comes from settlers on Govern ment irrigation projects that work Is delsyed Interminably and coats run far above first estimate. Government la the best agency we have for adminis tering Justice and the poorest we have for carrying on business. But Congress Is too busy with other matters to con slder a reform of Judicial procedure. Political economists have heretofore pointed to ths United States as a shin Ing example of freedom in trade. Forty-eight nations without customs bar riers among them have allowed pri vate enterprise to develop her Indus tries in a wonderful degree. Her rail roads, without Government regulation, have given her the best land trans portation mankind has ever achieved, nearly half the railroads of the world being in her borders, with freight rates averaging lower than on the gov ernment-owned or regulated roada of Europe. But the exceptional always attracts more attention than the usual or general features. At Suramervllle, Gs. the people gathered In a church and prayed that the railroads be in duced to send more cars to help them save an enormous peach crop. Some, however, said prayer was useless, for Ood had never bad anything to do with running the railroads In the United States. But this condition was im proved. It Is against the Interest of ths railroads to put a man out of business and they Ox their rates and give accommodations accordingly. But if the Government regulates the rates the next question Is. who shall regulate the Government! If your competitor does, he will see thst you are given high rates and poor aceora modationa to keep your business from growing too fast. This drives business Into politics, for politics is only the ef fort to control Government. No lsws are passed to subsidise or "protect" this or that church. So having noth ing to gain or to lose, the big churches in America do not spend barrels of money to influence legislation. When the sams free and fair principle of the open market for everybody la adopted In business, then big business will stay out of politics and not before. Monopolies do not thrive In an open market. In the plumbing business a tariff keeping foreign goods out. local taxes restricting the trade to a few commission men and licenses required to do plumbing work hsve made this one of the closest monopolies. Other monopolies are also Government made. The "progressives" offer as a cure larger doses of the medicine which pro duced the disesse. What hope of lib erty through them when tbey have shown in the matter of Canadian reci procity their strong opposition to free dom? One had better "stand pat' than travel In the wrong direction with "progressives" and Socialists. DICK SOWERBT. REMOVAL SALE REMOVAL SALE REMOVAL SALE CoaX dry wood. Ediefsen Fuel Co.

(Special.) The latest in social novelties at the university Is an ultra Informal matinee dance to be given In the gymnasium on the afternoon of Saturday, February 10, the closing day of the coming examination week. An attempt will be made to bar all those who do not wear simple frocks and quiet sack suits and the admission fee. 2a cents, will guarantee still further democracy. The prime object of this Innovation is to provide a pleasant exit for the proverbial 'blues, wblcn variably Invade student quarters dur ing the "X'ea." An even bolder venture is contem plated as an aftermath to the Univer sity of Utah-University of Oregon de bate In Eugene February 23. This Is to be a "leap year" debate and It Is to be followed by a "leap year" dance with the university men on the passive waiting list. Seventy-five cents will admit the university girl and her part ner to both the talkfest and the dance. Those who go single will be charged extra for their modesty. A sum hunter gathered 1300 pounds ol spruce gum the last Summer in the Adiron dack Mountains. The most he ever secured in a single day was 30 pounds. His profits may be estimated when it Is known that any druggist will gladly pay 11.30 a pound toi the gum. WOMEN TAKE NOTICE !
