Neverth j less, a man of singular appearance and strange ways, with a bag in his hand, had no trouble in getting immediate access to the president, and might have fired a pistol as easily as he delivered a letter.

The real fight over the Lewis and Clark appropriation will, it is now ap parent, occur in the house, says the Portland Telegram. It may safely be asserted that the bill, practically in its original form, will pass the senate, but it has before it a wild and tempestu ous career In the muse. ' This fact , should be looked squarely in the face There has risen a great prejudice against appropriations of this character and this is emphasized because the ap propriation for the Lewis and Clark full follows so quickly upon the heels of the big grant to the Louisiana Pur .' chiise exposition. With this as an ex' cuse and supplemented as it will be by the further fact that expositions have been coming prettjj freely Blnce the great Chicago affair, gome semblance of fxeu?e Is lfcnt to the objections that will be raised. Besides we are on the eve of a presltentlal ejection in which the dominant party is keenly Interest ed In keeping down appropriations. The government, too, is not rioting in the enormous surplus which has for the past fw years characterized the treas ury, thus giving another string to the bow of objections.' All these facts must be realized and met. Every man with an atom, of in fluence nt Washington should ei it to work at once In the effort to secure an i appropriation commensurate to the un dortaklng, Nearly every one knows a congressman from some other stute. He should be deluged with letters mak ing plnln to him the importance of the undertaking. As this Is a great pub lic enterprise, the time has come for each one to put his shoulder to the wtKiel .uiul shove, i In such , an emer gency every man's influence ,1s worth something uiid.unlted It may be.lhat.lt enn secure for the fair ihe recognition which Is its duo. In that event we will have here a filr of which the country will be proud and fveryone who now contributes hln mite will be entitled to his proportionate share of the result ing s'rafoe. People are fond of comparing foot ball games to pugilistic encounters especially when they wish to advocate toleration of the latter and to show that the former !s the more brutal, sug gests the Portland Telegram. Tabu lations for the current year disclose a long list of accidents on the muddy iield. There have been nineteen play ers killed, one boy was driven Insane from Injuries and thirteen players were severly hurt, some being crippled for life. This is a record of fatalities which advocates of pugilism may at tempt to make capital of by producing statistics showing that a far les number of deaths and serious accidents have resulted in the ring during the same period.. 'Those who compiled the sta- i tistics of football casualities, however, assert that the injuries occurred almost exclusively to untrained players and that in the big teams there was almost a total absence of serious accidents. The lesson to be drawn from this is that football is no game for the weak lings. . The president's message at the open ing of the regular session of congress, was a very fair document, though no one will contend that the author is any literary giant, yet he has a way of put ting things that more or less attracts and convinces. His general observa tions on the subject of land frauds and postal Irregularities will be generally read and the people of Oregon will es pecially appreciate his endorsement of the Lewis and Clark fair and his rec ommendations to congress for its sup port. The message is unlike those of the Cleveland administration, which were more or less verbose, or those from the pen of President McKlnley, remarkable for their elegant diction. But President Roosevelt is no slouch at stating what he thinks, and his mes sage 'will be more largely read than the average document of the sort. Political Cards. Vote for C H.

POLICE C ) "41155.3 2V It Is to be regretted that Mr. Her mann did not obtain a position on the Committee on rivers and harbors, says the Salem Statesman. While Mr. .Tones is an influential man and very friendly to Columbia river Improve ments, the regretable feature is that his particular Interest on harbor im provements will be confined to that river. Oregon has many harbors on the coast line reaching from the mouth of the Columbia to California which need attention and whose Improvement I Is of great Interest to many sections of country' that are rapidly filling up with Industrious settlers. At this .iimctm'p":esiieelally,' It Is il matter of vast Importance 'that Oregon should have a representative on the river and harbor committee of the house. C. J.

A dispatch from Dresden Germany stales that a league of Industrial cnpl tallsts are holding a session to consider u plan of opposing the encroachment of American capital in Germany. One prominent speaker declared that Oer- many should organise great trusts on American lines, or else the Fatherland would soon be under the yoke of Amer ican capital, The flerniana say thai the splendid organization of the consu lar service lei responsible for the en oroachments of American capital upon Herman shores. , Thi? Is , great tribute to the pro gression of America. Not only 1b Amer ican Influence and money extending to !erinuny, but all ever Jlie known world American enterprise has the markets Of the world well In hand because it has jjlvined the way to get It. America Is making a business and conirijerclal conquest, not of Germany alone. Other countries can well look to theilaurcls. j; FUTILE POLICE PROTECTION.! r'bt fact that a crank found nothing to prevent him entering a church where President Roosevelt was attending hi uncle's funeral a few days since and putting a letter into his hand, is not creditable to those charged with the president's "protection, says the Eugene Guarfl. -' " '""? Indeed, the Incident almost gives an appearance of toollslmesa to the extra ordinary precautions which were taken for hi personal security. Seven hun dred policemen lined up In the streets through " which the president was driven. KIght mounted officers, a do, en central office detective and six Tommy Tracey is doing a theatrical stunt up in Portland, in "The Flowery Aftpr Dark.", Tommy Tracy Is unlike the average pugilist. He has held a most successful ring corner and ts full of pluck, but a more gentlemanly fel low one never met. This paper hears that he hus retired from the ring, and It hopes that he will succeed in some more popular profession. Mansell Bldg. Fhone Black 2065 573 Commercial St. , Astoria Ore.
