SEPTEMBER 24, 1903.
TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
We need money and need it most
urgently to save the Plaindealeu
from entanglements. More is due to
this office on subscriptions alone
double the amount that is required to
straighten out the affairs of the
Plaindealee. The money is due and I
we urge every subscriber who owes to
come to our aid promptly. We are in
a financial hole and must get out ol it 1
just as soon as possible. The circum-
stances leading up to this affairs are
as follows: Vhen the JLditor pur- .
chased one-half interest in the Plain
dealer about one year ago he desired
that the Plaindealer should have a
home and office equipment equal to
any printing office in Oregon outside
of Portland. He believed and still be
lieves that the business of Roseburg
and Douglas County would justify the
outlay. He was a stranger and had
to depend on some one to attend to
the office work while he was purchas
ing machinery and presses or attend
ing to erection of the building, and
large sums of money coming into the
hands of a man in whom the editor as
well as the public had implicit confi
dence were flagrantly misappropriated.
Then there are other affairs which
have retarded the business prosperity
of the Plaindealer. The editor
came to Roseburg with the intention
of editing a straight republican news
paper and he has tried to do so faith
fully. It is his custom to praise that
which merits praise and to denounce
that which deserves denouncement.
Early in the year he saw how monopo
lies and combines sought to control
the people and to make the Citizens
of Oregon to be nothing more than
burden bearers for political bosses
who by virtue of their office sought
to have specious schemes of legisla
tion passed. The Plaindealer, as it
is well known, opposed two bills in
troduced by Senator Booth and poked
fun at the "big pill" bill, gotten up
by an over-zealous Methodist divine
to compel the Holiness faith healers
and Christian Scientists to be con
verted will ye, nil ye, to the Allo
pathic faith and practice. At once a
crusade was waged against the Plain
dealer and it was determined that
its utterances against the schemes of
the politicians and boodlers by legis
lative schemes should be stopped and
every scheme that could be devised
by crafty cunning was used to sup
press this paper. The business right
fully belonging to the Plaindealer
was held up and given to a demo
cratic paper by so-called republican
officials for the only reason the
Plaindealer would not stand quietly
by and see the rights of the people
legislated away in the interest of
grafters.
By the scores of kind letters we
receive we know that our work in the
interest of true republicanism is ap
preciated, bnt we want a little more
than kind words. We need two thou
sand dollars to put us out of the nine
hole and we want every man and wo
man who knows they are owing the
Plaindealer to make a remittance
at once.
More about the Land Office.
Much has been said for and against
land office affairs in Oregon; but of
all the appointments held by virtue of
political graft the Roseburg office is
entitled to the cake for blazon ef
frontery and besmirching of republi
can party principles. Here we have
the case of a receiver who, at the
same time, is a stockholder, director
and treasurer of a timber land com
pany owning thousands upon thou
sands of acres of timber land that
has been secured either honestly or
fraudlently from the public domain.
Now we do not desire to state that
the republican political machine has
no right, nor the President no right,
to appoint the man to a political of
fice, but we do say good politics and
decent appearances should count
against the appointment. The re
ceiver of the Roseburg land office
should be a man against whom the
finger of mere suspicion of collusion
could not be pointed. The good of
the party demands this much in the
name of republicanism. If the pres
ent receiver is a ward of the republi
can party and has to be taken care of
because his brother, Senator Booth,
has a cinch, the Plaindealer has no
objection to the Federal government
appointing him to a position in any
other office that his talents will fill,
but for the Oregon delegation to in-
sist that the present receiver be rc-
tppointed under the circumstances is
a slap in the face to true republicans
of the State and also a direct slap m
the face to tho President of the
United States, who believes that tho
republican party is one of principles
instead of spoils.
It hardly needs repeating that the
land office at Roseburg, at night,
while honest settlers and timber en-
trymen were snoring the song of the
just, that the office has been open to
timber land companies' agent, that a
kev was secured so that any kind of
information hidden and sacred from
the average citizen s honest oye was
revealed to the agent for land com
bines that has robbed the United
States of millions of acres of the best
timber land in the world. Now,
we presume all the documents arm
papers in the land office are 0. K. but
why should a key be furnished to one
man or the man allowed to obtain a
duplicate key to the land office so that
he could do his work and worked for
the timber grafters who employed
him at nisrht. Why should sue
nnestinnable methods
be allowed?
-iye we the question before
echo answers why? We attae
n0 mans honesty but we do attack the
hjad judgement that allowed such
remarkable and deplorable state of
offo;. if this is a honest straight
forward transaction and it was only J
error ot the brain and not the addi
tion and division of the heart, the
Plaindealer in a spirit of forgiveness
would recommend that the official
granting such an extraordinary public
concession to a man who was looking
after the interest of timber land com
panies be appointed to the position of
cell companion to a lunatic in a Fed
eral Asylum; for a position of such
nature would about fill the brain
capacity of the land office official
who honestly granted the mid
night right-of-way to land office
affairs. Now we do not know
who granted concession but the good
of the republican party demands that
the man who was so over confiding
and gullable be promptly removed.
We are inclined to believe for it must
have been, that allowing a timber
land worker in the land office at all
hours of the night was a mental de
lusion dependant upon a high sense of
moral obligation and unbounded con
fidence in the man who had full and
free access to all the government
records, but why has not the land
office the same serene confidence in
any other man who merely wanted to
purchase 160 acres of timber land or
to file on a homestead?
If upon full investigation of this re
markable case the land department
finds it to be a case of culpable neg
ligence, chicanery or fraud the official
should be promptly put out of office. If
it is simply a case of abounding confi
dence in human nature President
Roosevelt should present the official
with a leather medal about one foot
square and then hire a cheap niggai to
kick the medal when worn around
town for being too over confiding in
common humanity.
Timber Land Frauds.
Much has been said and much more
printed regarding timber frauds in
Oregon; and the President yells "stop
thief," the Secretary of the Interior
yells "stop their and Land Commis
sioned Richards joins in the refrain
and meekly cries "stop thief," but the
thieves do not stop. And the whole
proceeding while it has the appearance
of being genuine and doubtless is an
earnest desire on the part of the
President, in reality is nothing more
nor less than a first class farce come
dy of errors. The only persons who
are deterred from taking up timber
lands are the very persons for whom
the law was passed. The timber
speculator, the timber shark and the
monopolies and combines can have all
the timber they can pay for and land
offices will make it exceedingly easy
for persons taking up timber for such
concerns very easy. The Plaindealer
knows today where fraud is being
practiced on the government to obtain
timber in an illegal manner. It
knows where government officials are
allowing, either by ignorance, negli
gence or connivance, timber lands to
be taken up contrary to the laws of
the United States and the rulings
of the United States Land Office. It
can produce the proof at any moment
before any competent court of en
quiry. We are opposed to the hos
tility displayed towards men and
women who want to invest in timber
lands because it is their priviledge as
citizens to do so; but at thr same time
we are opposed to the tax methods
which enables land monopolies and
grafters to get away with
domain.

United States Consul-General Skin
ner to Marseilles, who is here on a
furlough, and who will make an of
ficial visit to King Menelik of Abys
sinia; will leave for Marseilles Octo
ber 8. In an interview, Mr. Skinner
said that the purpose of his going to
Abyssinia is simply one of the State
Department's efforts to create trade
where none exists and to established
andto extend elsewhere; that American
goods havo filtered into Adnia for
many years almost without tho knowl
edge of our own people.
Mr. Skinner stated that Abyssinia
is a kingdom of 10,000,000 popula
tion, with a stable- government, and
recently completed railroad with
tho outer world. As American manu
facturers are not in the habit of deal
ing directly with such far away lands,
it is Mr. Skinners duty to go there
and ascertain the conditions under
which business is transacted in that
region, with tho view of increasing
American commerce there.
Another matter that makes Mr.
Skinner's trip opportune will be to ex
tend an invitation to King Menelik to
havo his government represent at the ;
Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
An Ecclesiastical Row.
Baker Citv Oregon had an
old
Roman Catholic priest who was
revered by his tlock but was not in
tune with the new bishops and other
members of the bishops clergical
cabinet. Ho refused to resign his
position and the bishops and mem
bers of the clergy proceeded to resign
him by knocking him out. At the
same time they assaulted his old sis
ter who acted as house-keeper. It
was one of the most dastardly out
rages that lias ever occurred in minis
terial circles in Oregon, and the cul
prits, if all is true, should be sent to
the penitentiary for assaulting the old
woman and man. Justice cannot be
had in the case if we may believe the
reports that the Circuit attorney
would not investijrr.te the case and a
further news report from llaker City

ROBBERY.
THE 0. R. & N. TRAIN IS
HELD UP.
ONE ROBBER IS KILLED WHILE
THREE OTHERS MAKE THEIR
ESCAPE.
A wireless telegraphic report from
Portland today says: The 0. R. & N.
railroad train going east from Port
land, was stopped at a point twenty
one milus east of tho city, last night.
The robbers compelled the ' engineer
to advance in front of the express
car and admittance was demanded.
The express messenger responded by
opening (ire from a double barreled
shotgun. The first shot brought one
of the bandits to the ground, but at
the same time the engineer was bad
ly wounded. The name of the wound
ed robber is Jim Conner, and before
he died he gave the narae,s of the
other bandits to the authorities. The
other robbers escaped in the dark
ness, but a posse of officers and citi
zens are on their trail.
ine very latest wireless messago
says: The dead bandit made a full
confession which will lead to the caj-
ture of tire entire gang. The engi
neer, though severely wounded, will
recover.
Colorado Affairs.

.The men were made military prisoners
for inciting riot (at least that Is the
claim) which the soldiers are there to
suppress. The matter lias been
brought on habeas coqms proceedings
before the District Court and the fol
lowing is the very latest account of
the same:
Cripple" Creek. Colo.. Sept. 23.
General Chase produced in District
Court today the four military prison
ers for whom writs of habeas coqins
were issued and a strong force of
troops was stationed in and about the
Courthouse. Former Attorney-General
Kugene Kngley, who instituted
habeas corpus proceedings, protested
against the presence of 30 soldiers in
the court room, declaring it to be in
violation of the Constitution, and as
they were permitted to remain, he
withdrew from the case.
Argument on the motion to quash
the habeas corpus proceedings was
resumed. In announcing his with
drawal, Mr. Kngley, said:
"When I filed the application for
writs of habeas corpus and invoked
the jurisdiction of this court for the
issuance of the highest writ known to
the Lw, I supposed that these pro
ceedings would be heard under con
stitutional guaiMiitea; but it is not
so. The court may say that it is, but
the fact remains that the forces of
intimidation are present. The consti
tutional guarantee that the court
shall be open and untrammeled has
been invaded.
"This is no longer a constitutional
court. It is an armed camp. The
court has been surrounded by soldiers.
I refuse to proceed further in this
case."
Mr. Kngley and his associate, John
Murphy, left the court room together.
J. D. Crump, for the respond
ents presented an argument along
purely legal lines. He said that he
wished to correct tho impression de
rived from Lieutenant McClelland's re
marks yostorday that the claimed
that tho writ of habeas corpus is sus
pended. But, ho said, the respond- j
-a
outs claimed that it was not always
necessary to grant the writ. Tho
:juestion which ho argued was whether
the writ will stand or fall.
At tho . conclusion of Attorney
Crump's argument Judge Seeds an
nounced that ho would deliver his de
cision on tho motion to quash tho ha
beas corpus nroeeedinf nt. 9 uVhwdr

escorted by the militia were taken

Labor War at Kansas City.
This week Kansas City is in the
throes of a labor union fight. Two
factories of tho iron workers union
are at war, and each wants to control
tho convention. SjMiiuel J. Parks who
is mentioned in tho following dispatch
was the man who was sentenced to
jail in New York and pardoned re
cently for blackmailing employers of
labor. Several liirhts. knock downs
and drag outs, have occured, and sev
eral members have been lined in the
Kansas City I'oIiceCourt for displaying
"walking batteries" but the fun goes
on. Yesterday according to a news
report the credentials committee pre
sented two reports to the convention
of the International Association of
Bridge and Iron Structural Workers
on the status of Local Union No. 2, of
New York City, whose leader is Sam
uel J. Parks, and which recently was
suspended by President Buchanan.
The majority report referred the
matter to the convention for final
i
action, while the minority report de
clared that the susjiension ( tin
union was unconstitutional. Mr.
Parks and his fellow inemlers f
Union No. 2 wore requested to leave
the hall until the convention had dis
Iosed of their case, and this they did
peaceably.
The report was read immediately
after the convention was called to
order. The shop, or inside man, were
seated as were practkaly all othor
delegates save those from the con
tested New York delegation. The
majority rejKirt, referring the Parks
matter to the convention, was re
ceived with demonstration, but as soon
as the secretary had finished reading
the minority rejwt a dozn delegates
jumped to their feet and demanded
j recognition. President Buchanan tle
I clared all out of order, ami after some
(LI ;y requested that all members of
u.-l n No. 2 withdraw.
Parks was already on his feet lead
ing his followers toward the door, and
with a witty sally at the president's
expense all made their way toward a
committee room, where they awaited
any summons that might come from
the convention.
At the request of several delegates.
President Buchanan instructed all
newspapers reporters ami spectators
to witlidraw, ami in a moment more
the long-expected fight over the New
York delegation was on behind closed
door;. Heated arguments ensued
immediately, and the loud words of
the delegates could be heard plainly
in the hallway.
Parks smiled complacently, and
said:
"We will win. Jut wait. The
convention will decide in our favor
within 15 minutes."
The minority report, which is signed
by J. P. Cares, of Buffalo, ami Charles
W. Winslow, of Washington. I). C,
says:
"While we recognise the right un
der the constitution of the president
to suspend a local union, we are of
the opinion that the sustiension of
Local Union No. 2 was not constitu
tional, inasmuch as the evidence sub
mitted fails to convince us that due
notice was given Local Union No. 2
by President Buchanan of his inten
tion to suspend said local if their
violation of the constitution did not
cease. All of this is provided for in
article (J, section 2. of the constitution
of this association."
About 100 delegates are in at
tendance from every part of tho
United States and from Canada. It
is expected that the convention will
remain in session for at least a week
No every important questions outside
of the seating of the Parks delegation
and the question of separating the
"inside' or shop men from the Nation
al organization are up for considera
tion.
President Buchanan has not yet
decided whether he will run for re
election, and he has. said that his
action in this regard will-depend upon
what stand the convention takes in
his fight on the expelled union.
At noon the convention took a re
cess until 2 o'clock, without having
reached a conclusion in the Parks
case.
Parks said after the morning ses
sion: "If they do not reach a decision
soon, wo will return to Now York."
