GUILTY AS CHARGED.
Portland offers a drum of lifo, one
replete with the must thrilling situa
tion. The principal role is filled by
United Slates Senator John H. Mitch
ell, a man who has led, who has been
honored and who, in hi seventy
years, ha earned the respect and admi-1
ration of his people only to apjiear in
hcir midst decrepit, broken and dis
graced. He ha achieved great end
and has done much good for hi state,
but in the mind of the jury, a stern
body composed of me wtio were the
aged senator' staum-hest friend, all
he has done amounts to naught in the
fart of his betraying a trust. Along
toward midnight Monday, Senator Mitch
ell was summoned from his bed to hear
the verdict of the jury. His face of
ghastly pallor, weary of frame and brok
en in spirit, with but a slight, linger
ing ray of hope, in the company of the
two men who have stood by him in his
pitiable predicament, the senator fa!
teringly walked into the court room.
Without those dignified walls resounded
the explosions of giant fire crackers and
the shooting of firearms, the premature
observance of the Fourth of July. In
different to these hideous noises which
must have fallen upon his ears as mocK
ery, Senator Mitchell, on hearing the
verdict scanned every face in the Jury
box, be hoped that with the polling
there would be one dissenting voice
but there was none. His last hope was
blighted. And so this venerable man
offers a severe object lesson. The As
torian believes that Senator Mitchell'i
trial could lot have been more fair and
-while it regrtta to see one who has held
a honorable standing so humbled It is
satisfied.
p' NORWAY AND SWEDEN.
I wo extraordinary committees, one
from each side of the Riksdag, are to
consider deliberately the Swedish gov
ernment bill looking to a settlement
of the present breach between that coun
try and Norway. The government's po
sition is that, as between the two evils
a war of subjugation and a peaceful di-t
olution of the present union, the lat
ter is preferable. That popular senti
ment, as expressed by the people's rep
resentatives in the Riksdag, is against
this program and in favor of war,
need be, is shown by the composition of
these two committees.
ri a j. . . . . .
i nxi oi me senate consists or nine
anti-government and three pro-govern
men members, and the bone commit
tee of five " pro-government, live anti
government and to independent mem
bers. This is fourteen anti-government
men against eight supporters of the
king, and two who might act with tith
er eide in the final test but a strong
working majority against a peace at
any price program. And the earnest.,
fiery, impassioned speeches delivered in
the Riksdag on Tuesday against Nor
way and her revolt materially strength
en a conviction that war on the Scan
dinavian peninsula can not easily be
averted is, indeed, almost inevitable
The temperament of both peoples
rmit, however, be taken into considera
tion. Neither is marked by a surcharge
of "fighting blood" in iU veins, and the
King Oscar, whom along with the whole
Nation of Norway they practically ship
ped in the face, to name a prince of his
own line to rule over them as king!
The war spirit is clearly on the side of
Sweden in the greater measure but it
is possible, of course, to calm it. The
government views the situation ration
ally, not with anger, or bitterness or
x indk-tivenes. ''Our own interests in
Sweden," says Premier Ramsiedt, the
advisor of King Oscar, "are against fore
ing Norway into any kind of a union
A conquered Norway, while of no ad
vantage, would forever be a source of
dangr-r. Added to this the horrors of
war and their enfeebling results all
are arguments against the employment
of force. If not force, then it is best to
assist in the dissolution of the union
without harsher conditions tjn tie
future safety of the peninsula demands.
There could be but one outcome of
war the complete subjugation of Nor
way. RccoiH'illiation can not be effected
by fleets mid armies. May tWar II and
his people be spared the necessity of
employing "the last argument to which
king resort."
o
MUSCOVITE REVOLT. '
Despite the opinions and prophecies
of experts that no revolution in Russia
can possibly succeed until the peasantry
are educated and aroused, the news oi
almost every day shows that the spirit
of revolt is rapidly spreading among all
of the ccar'a subject. For centuries
the salient characteristic of the average
Muscovite has been superstitious rev
erence of the ear and tame submission
to his will, however brutal and unjust
the expression of that will may have
been. Hut the Russian people are at
lat waking up, just a the Japanese
did fifty year ago, and a China ts like
ly to do in the near future. Twentieth
century influences reach the uttermost
parts of the earth iu these days of free
speech, telegraphing and rapid transpor
tationfactor which the learned pes.
i mists have not thoroughly appreciated.
The real significance of the mutiny of
tba crew of the first-class battleship
Knia (or Prim) rotemkine lie in the
revelation it afford of the awakening
of the Kussisn intellect to the terrible
realities of in autorat'e system of
government and the trowing determi
nation of sailors, soldiers, workingnien
and even peasants, inspired by the edu
cated clashes who are so successfully
instructing and leading them, to put an
end to the medieval regime ot tyranny
and corruption. , Mutinies on shipboard
have often occurred before, but the
cause were usually .spet'.al and not of
public importance. The revolt on the
Prince Potemkine, however, is express
ive of a general spirit of revolution in
the czar's navy and army, following a
it doe the petty mutinies on Roject
vensky's ships at Madagascar, the re
ports of treachery at Riga and Libau
the hanging of numerous sailors at Se
bastopol, and the sullinness and diso
bedience of several regiments in Man
churia. The rebellion of the Potemkine
could not have been so successful with
out the aid of many officer, and in tha
fact alone there is serious significance,
Why doe the ezar hesitate? Why not
submit to the inevitable by making
lasting peace and creating a const it u
tional government which shall be meas
urably representative of the people
will and aspirations?
IN LIGHTER VEIN.
Forgive Me.
Forgive me if when lillie blow.
And lanes are all a-thrill with song,
And hedges gleam with scented snow,
And visions fair on mortals throng-
Forgive me, of thy gentle grace,
If I can find mid scenes so choice
No fairer vision than thy face,
No dearer music than thy voice.
Forgive me if when black rain drops,
And mist obscures the wintry skies,
I find June roses on thy Hps,
June's heaven in thy radiant eyes,
So craving skies forever blue,
And roses ever at my door,
Forgive me if I ask for you,
For I love much and more and more,

Homer Davenport, the cartoonist, held
a large audience in the Manhattan thea

lectured on "The Power" of the Car

He didn't lecture. He did better. He
talked. He yarned. He talks nasally
and use homely language. He ha an
aversion to formality in clothes, and
wears his hand in hi pockets when he
isn't drawing pictures. He holds his
head away up as boys do who are taught
in school to "speak a piece."
He made tears come when he told a
true story of why Dewey didn't leave
the country when he was abused for
