It is a new and wondrous theory, and one that will a mate the other and "less brilliant, scientists of the country. But there is the proof. The featiTe salmon, dlaporting In the Wil lamette, is cited ia evidence. Ac cording to the Tower brand of sci enr, the salmon ess Portland doc tors "skinned a mile" n germs. He knows mere abowt germs than Moyle abost white The way for Salem people to drtermtse the purity of their water la to apply the salmon gowns and other luxuries? Yet it seems they do not want to be "ex posed"; even their perverted brains and seared consciences realize that it Is not quite ln good form thus to swindle the government, or rather to be caught in doing vso. Hence according to Loeb, they offered to pay him as high as $250,000 to keep mum. If this is true, it is natural to wonder how long this has been going on, and . to what extent, and how many millions the government has been swindled out of In this way by the overrich and unscrupulous Peo ple of those eastern citieo. Millions pon millions of revenue, very likely haVe been lost In this way, either through the corrupt connivance of revenue officers or by the ingenuity f the rich swindlers who thought it smart trick thus to beat the gov ernment. If Mr. Loeb has not been making up a sensational story, he owes it to the country to go farther and publicly declare who these peo ple are; or if he does not know to find out, and to punish them to the law's limit. The country's system of taxation is ineaultable enough, with out allowing these corrupted rich peo ple of eastern cites to dodge paying anything for the support of govern ment." , They pay little enough at the best, and if caught swindling they should be punished without mercy. The courts are really doing a little business with the Standard Oil octo pus, after alL The Waters-Pierce company, a tentacle that overspread Texas, has beenrabsolutely banished from that state, as a criminal con spirator against the people, an arm of an unlawful monopoly. And this is not the decision of a lower and un important court, but of the highest court in the land, from which there is no appeal. If the case recently tried in Missouri should go the same way, and other like decisions should fol low, standard Oil may begin to be troubled by a fear that it doesn't own and run the government, after all. If the Young Turks have the upper hand again now, they will take no chances on the professions and prom ises of Abdul Hamld. but will pat him out of business for keeps that Is, if England and other powers do not come to his rescue. It looks as if the Turk, as represented by the sultan,. would have to go. - man, first attracted his attention. Even at that early-day Mr. Cleveland "waa firmly convinced that he Roosevelt) would some day reach prominence. Some years later he said of Roosevelt "He Is the moat ambitious man and the most consummate politician I have ever seen." v.. i The ex-president thought James Hill one of the most remarkable men he had ever seen for his farsight Into Industrial questions. In telling of Mr. Hill s wonderful fund of Information, Mr. Cleveland said: "When any information about long distance rates on railroads was needed, Mr. Hill had no need to refer to re ports or statistics. I verily believe that he could have told me the rates on all the leading classes of freight between two stations . on his railroad. 100 or 200 miles apart. I am perfectly sure that l have never known a man who waa 'at once familiar with so many big- things and who also had the gut or carrying; about and remember. Ing what most men in hla position wouia aeem too email ror their attention." Hancock Was Right. The Catholic Columbia-Record. Hancock was right when he declared "The tariff la a local issue." The areat soldier democrat waa scoffed at when he made the declaration, but every thing that has happened In the last SO years proves . he knew what he was talking about. The truth of his state ment was most forcibly 'illustrated last week, when the entire Virginia delega tlon in congress opposed the removal Of the duty on peanuts, ' because "the peanut la a great Virginia - Industry, and it needs protection. On all other matters of tariff, however, these bold Virginia Democrats are out and out free traders. The late Senator Gorman of Maryland got a great deal of unjust criticism because ha refused to vote for the free admission of Canadian coal. His reason was that It would ruin the miners and mineworkers of Maryland and the adjoining e Ultra and that to vote for It would mean his political death: Gorman was flghtiag for the Interests of his constituents, and hS got abuse for it. Tea. the tariff Is a local Issue. Hancock i a philosopher and not a straddl'er, aa he waa called at the time. ' HarHman sJidl. Government Owner- : ship. From the Xillwaukle Record.
