AN r.WVllllT CltlMINAL.
LET us hope that It will not de
velop that the Standard Oil
corporation la bigger than the
law, and bigger than the gov
ernment. Momentarily, It seems to
be master of tho situation. Judge
Landis. who undertook to discipline
the oil moniirchs, has himself been
disciplined. For his attempt he has
received one of the most 6tlnging re
bukes ever administered hy a higher
court to a lower one. The United
States government which Intervened
to protect citizens by attempting en
forcement of. the laws against the
corporation's unlawful practices, has
been temporarily set back on its
haunches. The inner circle of Stand
ard Oil, with King Rockefeller, the
rious, at Its head, has demonstrated
Its power in affairs political to be
approximately as great as In con
cerns financial. The loopholes of
corporation within corporation, the
juggling, the subterfuge and the
wheels within wheels In organiza
tion for the purpose of escaping pun
ishment for doing things the law
prohibits, is at least temporarily suc
cessful. "Crimes ofr cunning," a
President Roosevelt characterizes
such operations, have been perpe
trated, but for the present, they are
Unpunishable. The government has
spent $200,000 in prosecuting the
rase, but the results are nil.
For three years, the corporation
enjoyed a secret rate of 6 cents
while independent operators had to
pay 8. Evidence showed that
sometimes Its earnings were 1.000
per cent, and that the corporation,
during the period, amassed a colos
sal profit of $200,000,000. The se
cret rebates were In wanton viola
tion of the law. and the officials
knew it. Proceeding on the theory
that the law Is for the poor and not
for the rich, these officials ignored
laws, courts, and all else that good
citizenship means.. Through hired
Hessions, they ran riot In a carnival
of gentlemanly plunder, but held up
their hands In holy horror if a work-
fngman asked for equal rights before
the law. They endowed universities
and hopsitals, but by the enormous
power of their fiscal system, drove
into bankruptcy and early graves
men who dared to cross their path in
a business way. . They prated of
heavenly things, but violated the
laws of the commonwealth, the j
laws of humanity and the laws of the
Almighty. They endowed churches
with one hand, and with the other
reached into the pocket of every oil
consumer In the world. Their busi
ness trail is strewn with the wreck
age of men's careers, their homes
and their business enterprises all be
cause the victims sought to earn an
honest living in the oil business.
Their methods, and this outcome
of the effort to punish them is ruin
ous to citizenship, because it teaches
that the easiest way to swollen
wealth Is through unfair and unlaw
ful means. It Is unthinkable that
the unholy system Is to go on iin-checkf-d,
and its promoters en on un
punished, and yet what else !s : l.e
expected if the country again allows
"the Interests" to gain control of all
branches of the povernment?

rind will do nothing of that smf. It
has neither any Intention nor desire
to do anything for the benefit of Hi"
masses, because it Is busv serving
the trusts, railroads and pn t"'t.-d
interests. It vy do no better under
Taf! than under Prv.in, only It
would expect Taft to follow a let us
alono policy, while Hryan would
show the country where the sen
ate stands, even more plainly than
Roosevelt has done.
Would not voters do well, when
asked to indorse and support the
Republican party, to consider what
their partylsm Involves, the rejec
tion by congress of any measure cal
culated to benefit them if It Is ap
proved by Bryan, and because of
that fact. If he favors anything, it
Is therefore to be despised and re
jected; w hatever he is Opposed to is
to be favored and supported. And
this just the same though i''J out of
every 100--people are misrepresented
and Injured by such a course.
This Is partisan politics. There is
not a stateBinan aniong all these Re
publican leaders in congress, not
one; they are all mere politicians,
and as such a curse rather than a
benefit to the country.
CLOCKS THAT KEEP
TIME.
CIENTIFIC MEN are busily en
gaged in the effort to prodtieo
a clock which shall keep exact
time. So far, the principal
competitors for the primacy have
been constructors of the clocks of
the observatories of Greenwich, Ley
den, Berlin and Washington. The
clock mounted In the Greenwich ob
servatory In 1S50 for the measure
of time In astronomical observations
varied from absolute accuracy only
one-seventh of a second In 24 hours,
but the beginning of tho present
century another clock was Installed
there which varies only one-twelfth
of a second in a day. It is lately
stated in a dispute on the subject
that, the clocks of Berlin and Eeyden
are even more exact, their variation
being only one-fortieth to one
fiftieth of a second in 24 hours.
But, according to Professor Eich
elberger, the palm must be awarded
to the clock In the naval observatory
at Washington, which ho says
varies only one-sixtieth of a second
in 24 hours. To this statement the
Greenwich observer answers that the
comparison is not well made; that
at tho present time clocks may be
made to go with perfect theoretleal
accuracy if all the conditions of at
mosphere were uniform. Small vari
ations of the air, of pressure,
of temperature and humidity, pro
duce variations in clocks the more
noticeable the more ' delicate and
exact the clocks are. so that to pre
serve perfect exactitude In the move
ment of the machinery, which means
the measurement of time, it i neces
sary to resort to artifices outside of
the clockwork.
Thus, for example, the new (lock
at Greenwich is installed In a place
where the temperature vari s only
five decrees in all the ear and is
built wi'li an au'.'imatie mechanism
to correct tire atmospheric p;-'--ure,
so that It is said to maintain as
correct time as the chr"k In the naval
observatory at Washington.
ud nothing to do, except as Iienio-
i nils, about one vote In three, with
the result in either case. The Ore
gonlan Is noted for twisting things
around and stating the very opponlte
of the truth for the truth, ns It does
when It says that "Mr. Cake was for
the lloh Statement," anil was there
r noth I fore beaten Mr. Cake turned
against the Statement after his nom
ination, and thereby lost several He
publican votes to every one he
gained by that flop. The Journal
accurately predicted tho result In
both Fulton's nnd his case, because It
was In close touch with the com
mon people, and understood the
prevailing sentiment, and It fairly
and fully warned both Fulton and
Cake that persistence In their at
titude would bo an act of harl-karl.
Now tho Oregoalan inny thunder
lngly threaten that the old order of
things must and shall be restored,
that Republicans who believe In the
new order of things can have no
control hereafter, nnd that all those
who don't agree with it shall be
scourged back to tho rear private
ranks or out of tho party; but what
It says along this line Is of little con
sequence and will have no appre
ciable effect.
A large proportion of the Repub
licans of this state, whatever else
they do, nre going to stand firmly
for the election of senators by the
people, for the primary law, the
Statement No. 1 law. the lnttlntlvo
nnd referendum, and for direct leg
islation. They have advanced upon
broader, higher ground, into a
clearer, purer atmosphere, politic
ally, and they are not going to be
turned back by these threats of a
disgruntled organ of whatever is
vicious and corrupt in politics. If
the party Is wrecked in consequence,
which Is a very unlikely outcome, it
will not be the fault of these Repub
licans, but. of the reactionists who
are determined to return to wallow

United States Attorney Sims
bravely says the fight against the
Standard Oil company has just be
gun, and that he will bring the octo
pus to trial on many counts. But
there is really little ground for hope
that the law-defying monopoly will
ever be convicted and punished
enough to hurt. Present laws and
.iii of liellcial procedure are
all against the government in any
such case. It Is about as difficult to
convict a great monopolistic corpora
tion, and really punish it, more than
nominally, as it would be to convict
and punish Milton's Euclfer.
The Oregonian says: "P.y com

a par'v that showed nearly 40.000
plurality in the last election, as
sumes to order all Republican Voters

the slaves In the south. There "is
no Renublican party in Oregon" be

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO
OLD REPUBLICANS
J. I.. Henderson, a prominent Hood
River Republican, writes as follows to
A. Bennett's Optimist:
"1 am a regular subscriber of vour
newsy, virile paper, but by 'tho eternal,'
ymi ko too far in Jumping on those who
do not Huron with you. Your lust edl
toilal, "Ihe Machlno vs. the People.'
takes the enke. Now. my friend. I want
to say lu all kindness, but with little
virility' also, that when vim say .is
you do. The defeat of Mr. Pulton an. I
the election of Chamberlain (hIiiiiiio on
you. why not Mr. Chamberlain as well
as Mr. Pulton) was not a loss to Sen
ator Fulton or his friends It was sim
ply a crime committed nKiilnst th"
whole people of OrcKon! And rvei y
sane man In the state knows It.' ygu
say what you know to be unfair. If not
untrue. Now, Brother Bennett, I mjv
not bo 'sane.' but I will compare In
sanity with yourself, anil I tell you that
oio mm.' m iiri'iimi, in my opinion win
be as much better represented bv' Sen
ator Chamberlain than It bus been or
could be by Senator Fulton, us daylight
is nriKiiier tiian darkness.
"Not thut I would sav anvthlne
axatnst Senator Fulton nersonnllv. 1
believe him to be an able man -n. very
able man but he stands In with the old
convention, boss Kantf, that you cham
pion, and he has been connected with
the old hold-up legislature crowd, and
the rotten political element of the Re
publican party represented by the two
warrlnur fnctlons. and whether ho has
been personally cullty or not of tho
cause of the trouble, ho Is In a measure
held responsible bv the Peonle for It
all; nnd 1 tell you now, that vou will
find that Senator Fulton's political life
Is dead In Oregon, unless be loins the
people In their assault on bosslsm. and
rotten political rule, and the conven
tion system.
Mr. Bennett, vou are behind the
times If you think that tho people of
Oregon will ever go hack to conventions.
They care nothliiK about party, only as
party works for tho common Rood alonrf
lines that the people can and will In
dorse. The old 'party lash' wan used,
and tli" party sloKan was sounded, for
many veins Inst pust, simply In order
that a few men might control the Do
mical situation, and ride Into office
and stay there, by using said lash.
The people of Oregon care 1.0 more
for vou 'party' men ami your 'party'
howl than they care for the way the
wind blows. They are tired of belli
ridden by your 'bosses.' The only sal
vation for the people, and their only
opportunity of Helf-preservatlon from
Ihe assault of tho polltlcftl boss Is In
tho primary law and Statement No. 1.
If thv Republicans were to vote nnuln
on .Senator Fulton he would net a
smaller vote than he did last election
and (lovernor Chamberlain would net
a laiKcr vote than lie did. You may
sav I fiat (lovernor Chamberlain Is also
a "politician.- but ti any event he Is a
believer In the primary law and State
ment No. 1. and that Is Just the rea
son whv 20,000 of us Republicans voted
for him at ttie last elec tion, while we
also voted for the Republican candi
date for the legislature. And you need
not be surprised If that same vote In
Oregon will also vote ag&lnst Mr. Taft
fur president, owing to the fact that
tho Republican national convention
turned down a plank this year in the
national Republican platform by a vote
of about 7 to 1 indorsing ine election
of P tilted States senators by direct vote
of the people.
"Mr. Bennett, you gentlemen who are

with the misses, may just wen now

The People for Bryan.
From tho Sclo News.
,s was expected William J. Bryan
was nominated as a candidate for tho
residency- at Denver, last week, on tni
first ballot. The enthusiasm of a vast
majority of the delegates and spectators
seemed to be unbounded. From whence
comes this almost unanimous demand
Or the nomination of Mr. Bryan? .Net
from the capitalistic classes; for the,
lew him as an enemy and dangerous 1,1
their Interests. Nut from the trusts
and tariff beneficiaries; for they know,
with Mr. Bryan in the White House,
the special privileges they huve enjoved
for Vitus, would no or snort miration
if he could bring about the abolishment
thereof. Not tiie politicians; for they
have used every possible means wlthl.i
their power to prevent the action of
the Denver convention which selected
the Nebraskan for the Democratl?
standard bearer, for the third time.
There is left but ono source, then, from
whence the overwhelming demand for
Mr. Brvim could come the people.
From the north; from the south; , from
the middle west, and from the I'aclflo
states this demand for the nomination
of Mr Bryan developed In such magni
tude that all chances for the nomina
tion of any other candidate than Mr.
Bryan very uiiickly faded Into insig
nificance. .Mr Bryan possesses the entire con-fiiiepi-e
of the people. They believe. If
he shall be elected that he will en
deavor to carrv nut Ihe reforms of
which he has been preaching; that ne
will be im enemv of greedy trusts;
that lie will endeavor to have our tariff
laws tevised, I hat he will be a bln.-k In

How About Oregon?
From the People's Press.
How about Oregon, will sne give
majority vote for Bryan or for Taft?
Pot us see, did not some 20,000 Oregon
Republican voters cast their ballots for
Mr. Chamberlain for the United States
senatorshlp? And did not these voters
and thousands more In the most em
plintk' terms Indorse tho principle of tho
olreot election of senators.' And (lid
not the Republican national convention
just as unanimously turn down the di
rect election of senators plank? And
was this turn flown not entirely agree
a tile to Mr. Taft and the national lead
ers of the partv?
Therefore, would not ordinary reason
Indicate that a considerable portion of
the L'li.onu Republican voters In this
slate who bellevu In the direct election
of a senator and wiio voted tor a Hem
in rat w 111 also continue to believe in
the direct election of a I'nited States
senator and refuse to vote for the party
and candidate and platform that la op
posed to such direct election?
That Is one small cud of reflertlon
that party leaders who are so sure Taft
is it out here can chew on to their ad
vantage. So far as we cvn discover, regardless
of the personalities of the opposing can
didates, the Democratic platform Is
much nearer In line with Oregon popu
lar opinion than -.the Republican plat
form. Oregon has recently taken direct
action on a number of the Issues con
sidered by these two platforms, and In
every rasa Oregon has deVlded in en
tire accord with the decision of the
Democratic platform as opposed to the
stand taken by the Republican plat
form. Out here we have been rapidly getting
away from iintloiial party lines, and
wo have perhaps without realizing what
we were doing, actually managed to
think and act without first asking
whether this was in entire accord with
the leaders' bleap or not. We have
grown Independent, and we are not es
pecially concerned about the name on
the party collar of the nominee; we
are concerned, though, In regard to what
the candidate stands for. what he ex
pects to do. how big a man he Is.
Po it miv easily happen that Mr.
Taft will not gather In tho folds of his
voluminous party cloak guile all of i
Oregon mat is registered Republican.
A Problem for Knuiloyerti.
N T 1 1 15 Interest of Hahbaih observ

ttie Idea Is Indoraed In some of the
eastern papers, tnal employers lend
their aid in lessening sjunday travel
by giving each employe his or her vaca
tion beginning Saturday morning, and
ending Monday noon or night.
Thla would give all employes who de
sire to get out of town -and who does not
chance to do tho traveling on Satur
day and Monday, thus avoiding tin)
crowding of Hunday excursions and les
sening the dangers of overcrowded
trains, besides helping to make the riab
bath of tne more than 20,01111. 000 of
Christians in the country something
more than a mad rush for recreation.
The American Sabbath union, which
prganlaatlon (for wo have to have an
organization of course) Is pushing this
matter and endeavoring to obtain the
cooperation of employes, ssya that the
moral principle Involved in the Inculca
tion of tho vital truth regarding the
Sabbath day aa tha bulwark of our
homes and our land would lnflnitelv
more than compensate for the material
loss of a few hours' service.
Certainly if tho thing Is to he dona
it will have to begin with the emnlov-
ers for It is asking more than human
nature Is likely to live up to, to ask
employes to remain in town over two
hot Sundays In order to bulwark our
liberty of our homos.
Not that many of them are not good
and sincere Christiana, but the good
daylight hours of those two Sundays
they are worth more than all the rest of

Just so much extra. They are the su

worked for a living can Imagine how
eagerly.
Then at Inst it Is hero, the liberty, tha
freedom. The desk and tho store and
the long rows of figures nre left he
hind, and the vacationist sets his or her
face to tho Invigorating ozone of tho
ocean, or the fresh breeze from off too
river, or attunes his ears to catch the
low murmurs of the deep woods.
Would anyone ask such a one to post
pone ttie vacation a day or hold him
back a "minute, even for such a fine
principle as that of refraining from
Sunday travel.
