WHAT MORE NATURAL?
IF SENATOR BOURNE Is not to
be the nigh priest in the dis
bursement of federal patronage
in Oregon, why notT , Is not the
senator almost the apple of the
president's eye in the matter of his
political and economic riews? Was
cot the senator, meek and lowly
follower of the standard of William
Jennings Bryan In 1896, and has he
not always had decided leanings to
ward the peerless leader's political
riews? Has not the president him
self become , badly Bryanlzed, and,
has he not Bryanlsed most of the
Republican party?, 5 With their po
litical faith pinned to the 'same
star, how Infinitely fitting' for Jon
athan to become Theodore's own and
only trusted lieutenant In. Oregon.
Not so Senator Fnlton. So far as
known he has never shown a single
liryanltlc symptom. He Is a long
ways from eligible for admission to
the Inner circle of the camp of tha
progressives. . ' In ' these days when
Republican orthodoxy is thrown to
the four winds,: how essential for
one to look another In the face and
be able to know who's who and
which Is which, especially with the
air redolent of rich man's plots and
the country full of Ananlases. What
the white house now wants Is a man
who can handle the Oregon Repub
licans, and , deliver ' them properly
coached and primed Into the Bryan'
lzed camp. of Republicanism at the
next national convention,' and for
this -, enterprise, , Senator Fulton
would hardly do. On the other hand,
Senator ' Bourne, with' his well
known appreciation " of ' good1 old
Democratic doctrine Is pre-eminently
tho man to aid Mr. ". Roosevelt In
carrying those ' views , through the
next national Republican convention.
Senator Fulton is, of course, a good
Republican, but he is too orthodox
to keep the pace Jonathan and the
president has set. and most likely,
will not have' a look In at the Ore
gon patronage. f j. ; ; fyj

The reason for thfa rtlln la clear.

mats oa the fact that traaacontlnental
freight rates to Spokane and other In

iceaalre and could be materially re
uced without lmpalrlns the reaaonable
earning capacity of the railroads.
It seems that the Spokane papers
rould not have read Commissioner
Prouty's remarks, or else has cu
riously misinterpret them. ; In re
bponse to Mr Teal s Intervention In

ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.
ajp KKfi.xiiNU at vnananooga to
I John Temple Graves' speech . la
I which he urged that Bryan . In
the next national Democratic
convention should place Roosevelt In
nomination for president, Mr. Bryan
said: "As at present Advised I shall
not present the name of. Theodore
Roosevelt to the national Democratic
convention.. Bear in mind, I say 'As
at present advised. "
The phrase I'm - at present ' ad
vised." especlallywhen repeated and
emphasized with the caution to bear
It In mind, seems significant of a pos
sibility that Bryan might do, or de
sire to do, what Mr. Graves sug
gested. It ' sounds . as : though ' Mr.
Bryan waa not disposed to reject the
suggestion aa something impossible
or absurd, but rather that he was
open to consideration of it, and fur
ther advtee about It ; r"" ..".
These two men, from the present
outlook,: wiljt dominate the two con
ventions, .u Koosevea wouia, ac
cept :. the " Republican nomination
probably there would be no opposl
sitlon to him In the Republican con
vention, as probably there will be
little or none to Mr. Bryan In the
Democratic , convention. The ., two
men have much In common. -Roosevelt
has tha advantage In having be
hind him a greatly dominant, though
by no means united party. Bryan
should have , the advantage of rep
resenting more and greater reforms
than Roosevelt has yet proposed.
. Roosevelt has been a great edu
cator of the people, and no doubt a
large majority of them want to keep
him for president another term, but
since he will not have It, can he
throw, his strength not .In I con
vention but at the polls to another,
especially It, the .'people' have a
chance to vote for an even greater
reformer than bet : -i : ':
But a slight consideration will no
doubt ahow Mr. Bryan the absurdity
of Graves', proposition, for It Roose
velt will not accept the Republican
nomination ne certainly wquio. not
accept a Democratic nomination.
REGULATION OF RAILROADS.
Have not the congresses almost In
variably legislated in the Interest of
the railroads rather than of the peo
ple? And what assurance Is there
that future congresses will do dlf
ferentlyt ,'.,- v :'.-, '. ' ;'. "
President Roosevelt seems to be
endeavoring to compel the railroads
to do the right thing by the people,
as far as a ch)ef executive can, but
the country may sot always hare a
Roosevelt for president And even
he can only act along broad, general
lines, and not In small, specific, yet
locally important cases.
But that' the railroad presidents
aad ; managers are apparently dis
posed to accept some measure- of
federal control 'Is gratltylngly ' slg
nlf leant It shows that they are not
so Independent of public demands aa
they thought they "were, . They real
lie that If the people put men In
office who will fight for the people's
Interests' the corporations will have
to yield to soma extent,' nd behave
themselves better. ' V ';

Thaw, If . it must be composed of
men who have not read about the
case or formed an opinion, the mem
bers being Esquimaux Charley, Zulu
Pete, Chang Chow, Iggorot Joe, Old
Squatting Horse, etc. This la a log
ical representation of the apparent
effort of attorneys la selecting trial
urors, the deduction being that the
less Intelligent a man Is the more
fit he is for a" Juror In a criminal
case. For in these days every Intel
ligent man reads the newspapers and
therefrom necessarily forms more or
less of an opinion. ; But, Jn fact, the
more Intelligent he Is the more likely
he Is to, depend on the' evidence,
nevertheless. , and ' render a Just
verdict - - '; , . -.'
r
T HAS BEEN observed that some
of the big railroad men have re
cently . experienced an apparent
change of mind with respect to
federal control of railroads. Where
as not long ago they were with one
accord opposed to such control, some
of them are now decidedly in favor
of .lt and others are disposed to re
gard the subject In a more favorable
light i r: ' --v'-;-; -
This change is not due to a real
desire on the part of the railroad
magnates to have federal control of
railroads, but to state laws that have
been passed during the past winter,
and the probability that similar or
even more drastlo state legislation
will be enacted in the future.
The president having declared In
favor of control or regulation by
the federal government only, to the
entire exclusion of state control or
regulation, the railroad magnates
are inclined to think that it might be
well to Join In with this policy, and
take their chances at Washington, If
thereby they can be relieved of regu
lation by the states. Their attorneys
may believe or hope that they end
the government's attorneys together
can convince the courts that all state
regulation-Is unconstitutional.
There Is a probability of stub
born and Important contest here.
The states will not easily yield their
assumed right to regulate, railroads
within their several .borders. In a
sense almost all traffic Is lnter-state, I
and It the federal government could
and would regulate It all the states
might be well pleased to be rid of
the Job; but no national Interstate
commerce commission can look Into
all local grievances, nd theft ' the
states have no good reason to place
any great reliance upon federal leg
islation:" ", - " -.v - f:.
, Have not the congresses for the
past 40 years given the railroads
about everything they asked for. and
failed to hold them "to a strict
compliance with . their contracts!
It being proposed that the New
Tork public ' utilities commission
shall be non-partisan,' the World re
marks: "That need not mean that
part of the members shall be Demo
crats and part Republicans, but that
they shall be so capable and deserv
ing of confidence that no one will
care how they vote." They must
almost necessarily be Republicans or
Democrats, under present conditions.
but whether they are one or the
other, If the best men obtainable for
the great work they will have In
hand, Is of minor consequence, of
so little consequence that It need
scarcely be regarded at all. Making
a man's politics the paramount qual
ification In such' a case involves the
recognition of party patronage and
therefore a machine. , V
