LIQUOn SELLING IN ALBANY.
I HE FIRST trial of men accused
of violating; the local prohibi
tion law In Albany resulted In
' V disagreement of the Jury,
which stood fire to one for acquittal.
Whether the evidence was sufficient
y Insure conviction by an honest
Jury we cannot say, but if it was,
; iuch a result would be nothing new
In Oregon, though of late, In a num
ber of cases, public sentiment has
' ' keen strong enough to produce con
nctions. 'mat there, has been a
''good deal of illegal liquor selling in
' . .Albany there seems to be no doubt
Recent evidence, obtained against
. certain parties appeared from reports
to be positive and conclusive. - If it
. was so on the trial, the failure to
..'.. convict was a deplorable miscarriage
V, of justice which should stamp those
' , who, sworn to do their duty, brought
It about, as distinctly undesirable
citizens. But if the evidence was not
really sufficient, the only thing to
. do Is to obtain more and better evl-
; . ; dence and try again.
: Ifor the law ought to be enforced,
"notwithstanding the fact that some
4 people don't like it. It is a law duly
enacted by the people of Albany, and
'every good citizen will assist in its
maintenance and enforcement until
It is repealed. The man who vio
lates it should be considered an en
emy of the community, as he really
Is. He is so because of his viola
tion of a law, regardless of the law's
( ; merits; but he is also, so in this case
1 because the sale of liquor is pro-
ductive of incomparably more evil
than good.
- ' The public sentiment of a town
.... like Albany ought to be overwhelm
lngly in favor of the enforcement of
law, of this, law as well as of others,
and the people of that city, notwlth
' standing this failure, should rise in
their might and drive the "blind
pigs," whatever their disguises, out
i of business, and so severely punish
I the offenders that they would get a
lasting lesson thereby. This was
done in Corvallis, and in Newport;
why not in Albany?
possible, for "knowledge is power."
The more knowledge the masses
have obtained, the greater liberty
they have achieved, and the greater
has become their power to claim
and get their Just dues. By adopt
ing the Initiative and referendum the
commbu poople took into their hands
greater power than they had before)
possessed, and at the same time as
serted their ability to use that power
for their own government. The pro
fessional politician dislikes this
movement, because he loses power,
and perhaps place and pickings, too.
And a lot of other professionals, and
those who make It profitable to
serve special interests, are opposed
also to this change, because the pro
fessional politician always stood In
with and served them, the interests
of the masses being Ignored or
scorned.
The new system Is educative of
the manses. They will learn as
they exercise the power, and put it
to better use. They are really not
Inferior to the classes who are al
ways self-interested, or at least are
both fit and entitled to exercise the
largest possible degree of self-gov
ernment.
Let the people hold fast to what
tliey have secured. Be sure that
those who seek to ' curtail their
power wish to keep them weak so
erty. From the three river strain- vorlt - family paper, adhering

MASSES AND CLASSES.
I
T IS EASILY observable on a
little examination that the peo
ple who oppose the initiative and
, . referendum are of one or more
of . the following classes or descrlp
tlons:
Those who do not trust the peo
ple;: do not admit, that the people
are fit for self-government;
' Those who are. connected with
- and are, largely .benefited through
corporate - and special interests
who are working the people to ob-
f tain something for nothing, much
V fdr little; - ; : :,
Those who have been educated to
believe and who-like to believe that
the "upper classes," the wealthy and
unusually successful people, possess
nearly all the wisdom extant and
that the person of only average po-
. sitlon and possessions should sub
mit to be governed without crltl

LARGE number of state attor
neys-general' met recently In
St. Louis and adopted a me
morial to congress which is In
the nature of a protest against one
rbase of the centralization policy of
the administration, as outlined by
the president and Secretary Root
The three principal officers of the at
torneys-general convention, Mr,
liadley of Missouri, Mr. Malone of
Massachusetts and Mr. Dickson of
Colorado, as well as a majority of
those in attendance, are Republicans.
The first resolution, following a
fitting "whereas," says that "we
earnestly recommend to the favor
ably consideration of the president
and the congress of the United States
the enactment of a federal law pro
viding that no circuit court of the
United States or any Judge exercis
ing powers of such circuit courts
shall have Jurisdiction in any case
brought to restrain any officers of a
state or any administration board
of a state from Instituting in a state
court any suit or other appropriate
proceeding to enforce the laws of
such state, or to enforce any order
made by Such administrative board,
but allowing any person or corpora
tion asserting In any such action in
a state court any right arising under
the constitution or any laws of the
Ufllted States to have the decision of
the highest court of such state re
viewed by the supreme court of the
United States as now provided by
law." They also recommended that
'suits in federal circuit courts by
persons interested in corporations to
restrain such corporations from
obeying the laws of states in which
they are doing business be pro
hibited."
We think the majority of Repub
licans as well as of Democrats will
approve these recommendations, as
embodying sound doctrine. While
it seems to be necessary to clothe
the federal government, or some
such agency thereof as the inter
state commerce commission, with ad
ditional powers, In the matter of the
regulation of railroads and other in'
terstate corporations, it win be wise
not to Increase the power of federal
courts in lntra-state cases, but rather,
as is suggested by the attorneys-
general, to restrict their Jurisdiction
which in many cases has been ex
tended too far.

are practicing wholesale favoritism
in the case of shipments wholly
within a state, thus benefiting a few
large shippers at the expense of
many others. This is a policy which
it seems the railroads cannot break
themselves of.' even when protest
ing that they do not want to main
tain it. Some will do it. they say,
in spite of everything, and so all
must. So it seems that state laws
making these acts unlawful, and.
state authority to prosecute and
punish railroads guilty of them, are
necessary.
n -migni oe remarked, by the way.
that the government shows a rank
inconsistency in making war upon
railroads which give rebates and
discriminate between shippers, and
at the same time maintaining a high
protective tariff, which is essential- j
ly doing the same thing, on a larger
and broader scale. The government
itself pursues persistently a policy
of giving a comparatively few, and
those least In need of it, a com
mercial advantage at the expense of
the many, and yet makes It a crime
for the railroads to do the same
thing. It Is not strange that rail
road men, perceiving this policy.
find it difficult to believe that the
Buvcrumeiii. is in earnest in sup
pressing its imitation.
The people of Oregon are themselvee
partially to blame for this condition;
they have never made a real' effort to
rree memnelves rrom their bondage.

The Capital Journal Is only a small

But such as it Is, and small as it may
be, it is freely given and costs the re
cipient nothing.
The editor of this naner Is above
posturing in such a hypocritical manner
as tnat ne is never influenced in what
he says.
But as he is not needing any federal
appointment in order to live, and could
not ret one if he did need it, he can
afford to tell the truth once in ajrhlle.
So he would say to Teddy: Don't Be
wiser than some of your would-be ad
visers. - - Theodore, you know very well, if you
wanted you could stampede that national
Republican convention to ' give - you
another term as president.
When' political parties are evenly di
vided it takes but. a small percentage of
voters to change the result.
There are enough people In tha United
States who believe eight years of any
hand would be valuable on the throttle.

Henry O. Havemeyer's Birthday.
Heniy Osborne Havemeyer, head of
the so-called "sugar trust," was born
in New York, October 18, 1847. He is
the grandson of Frederick C. Have
meyer, who, with his brother, WllHam
F. Htyemeyer, came to America In
1803 from Germany. Soon after their
arrival in New Tork the brothers began
the sugar-refining business, laying the
foundation for the great American
sugar Kenning company of today.
Their two sons, who bore the same
name as their fathers, carried on , the
business after they had gone. Their
two brothers, Edward and Frederick,
succeeded to the business in 1842. After
them came Theodore A. Hayemeyer, son
of Frederick, who remained the head of
the concern until his death in 1896. In
that year Henry- O. Havemever aun-
ceeded to the presidency of the com
pany. Henry received a liberal educa
tion In KMh mlKllA mtiA nnau
and Immediately became associated I
with the great business of bis ancest-1
ors. He was chiefly instrumental iff
organizing tne present company in 1887
