S bcbetary T ah has directed that
Fort Walla Walla be made a perma­

the order issued by his predecessor

Root Senator Ankeny has been endeav­

by persistent efforts has he succeeded.
T here has been considerable of a

There is no thrilling shibboleth in his

party and spur it to triumph. Just as
Roosevelt is new blood In the Republi­

call to the clansmen, so does the Demo­

radical ideas and a creed of pronounc­

call in the farthest wandering faction.
Such a creed and such a call Mr.

Roosevelt is to be the opposing candi­

force does not exceed 421.000. If tbe
outcome of tbe conflict between the

seem that there could be but one end­

the Russian base of supplies is a long

Food and other war supplies and troops

always some old settler around who

some one can recall an event of the
same character that happened when
he was a boy that “beat it all hpller.”
It is probable that tbe “worst” can
never happen, for if it should, the rec­
ord can be cited which can always be
depended upon to disclose something
that greatly surpassed it, and which
happened “in the spring or winter of

satisfaction to be assured that our par­

PAT” MEANS.
Senators Frye, Hale and Beverldflre
Special Attorneys For Monopoly.
The old ship subsidy crowd are again
haunting the capitol at Washington.
They have, however, learned some
things by experience. They are not go­
ing directly after what they want and
asking Uncle Sam to put his hand In
his pocket and give them $5.000,ODO to
$10,000,000 a year because they are in
tho business of ruunlug steamships.
They have discovered that this is so
obnoxious to the people that even a
Republican congress hesitutes to fulfill
the pledge of Senator Hanna, who in
return for a campaign fund of about
$500,000 In 1898 pronilsetl to let the
shipowners write their own bill.
The ship subsidy hunters are no less
greedy now, but they are more dis-
creeL Realizing that the Republicans
dare not pass a general subsidy bill
Just before a presidential election, they
have planned a special commission to
consider the need of government aid to
shipping. This committee is to report
the first day of the short session of
congress. Just after the election, and
during that session u ship subsidy bill
is to be driven through. So the Repub­
lican leaders promise.
But the hungry shipowners are un­
willing to wait a full year without a
morsel. Hence they are pushing two
bills. Introduced by Senator Frye,
which. If passed, will not only give
them a taste of subsidy, but which will
be the entering wedge, they hope, for
subsidy legislation which will open wide
to them the door of Uncle Sam's big
treasury. These two bills were unani­
mously reported by the two commit­
tees of the senate presided over by Sen­
ators Frye and Lodge. Both were re­
ported without hearings, without ln-
vestigatlon and wlthout consideration,
One of these bilks provides that all
shipments by sea of government sup­
plies shall be in American vessels. The
other extends our coastwise laws to the
Philippines, or. In other words, pro­
vides that all freight and passenger
traffic between the United States and
the Philippine Islands shall be in
American vessels.
The object of both bills is to give
an absolute and unconditional monopo­
ly to American vessels in all Philippine
business. The Philippine trade is com­
paratively small. There is not enough
of it to warrant the establishment of
regular lines. Nearly all of It 4s now-
done tn foreign tramps and at a rate
Immeasurably lower than could be
maintained by regular lines.
As innocent and harmless as these
bills appear, they are so bad that so
ardent a Republican as former Secre­
tary of War Root strongly opposed
them In letters written to Senator Frye
Secretary Root was in favor of govern­
ment aid to shipping; but. realizing the
full meaning of giving American ves­
sels an unconditional monopoly, he
said that he would rather contract to
give them an advance of 50 or even
100 per cent over present freight rates
than to consent to the passage of these
two bills.
The printing of Secretary Root's two
letters opened the „eyes of many to
the enormity of the proposed legisla­
tion. Frightened at the greatly in­
creased cost of transportation which
wonld result from these bills, the east­
ern cordage manufacturers and the
western binder twine dealers compelled
Senator Lodge to grant a hearing in op­
position to these bills. But at this
hearing Senator Lodge arranged to
have present all the shipping interests,
and then he and Senator Hale of Maine
and Senator Beveridge of Indiana con­
stituted themselves as special attorneys
for the shipping people and in opposl
tion to the opponents of the bill. The
result was that the opponents were
only enabled to get in their testimony
In halfway fashion. But this testimo­
ny nevertheless showed that the bill
would more than double freight rates
on all products to and from the Phil­
ippines, and this Increase would in the
end be paid by the producers of the
products that we ship to the Philip
pines, it showed that by far the heav­
iest sufferers would be the consumers
of binder twine. It show ed also that
the heavy freight rates from the Phil­
ippines to Atlantic, ports would be
practically prohibitory and that the
hemp from the Philippines would ei­
ther be sent to England or, if it came
direct to this country at all, it would
come by the Pacific ports and that the
transcontinental freight rates would
place the eastern cordage manufactur­
ers at such a disadvantage that they
would probably be driven out of busl-
ness. The result of this would be to
throw the western fanners into the
hands of the Chicago trust—the Inter-
national Harvester company—and then,
as one man put It, "God help them!”
The farmers and the people generally
must always pay the cost when Uncle
Sam gets generous to the corporations
and trusts. Government favoritism is
good for the favorites, but it is hard on
the people who foot the bills.
BYRON W. HOLT.
T estimony submitted at the trial
of the St. Louie, mt inters of the city
house of delegates, at Fulton, Mo., lets
light in on some of the most dastardly
corruption of officials every shown up
in this country. The depravity to
which official representatives of the
people can descend, as well as the cold­
blooded audacity of corruption that
has existed in St. Louis,is a revelation.
According to the evidence of six former
members of the house of delegates,
nineteen delegates received $2500 each
for passing the light bill in 1899. If
the testimony of these witnesses is to
be credited; those experts in bribery
met together, not to protect the inter­
ests of the city, but for the purpose of
distributing boodle, selliLg themselves
to the highest bidder. The six witness
es further testified that they had ac
cepted bribes frequently. One of them
was so accustomed to be bribed that
he could not tell how often, whether
fifty times or more. When such dam­
