great office to the care of under
lings.
There was no criticism from them
of Mr, Taft when he repeatedly
put the White House on wheels
and rolled it all over the country,
putting up his political fences. In
four years, the amiable and de
lightful Mr. Taft twice toured the
country as far as the Pacific coast
carrying the presidential office in
his suit case, and covering a dis
tance by railroad never equalled
by any other chief -executive. And
behold, not a criticism, not a chal

of those now attacking Mr. Bryan
Criticism from those who are
condemning JfX Bryan in the pres

would be their commendation. That
his endeavors have made enemies

credit He could win their plau

It is because he has not sought their
approbation that he is widely be
loved by millions of his countrymen.
It makes no difference whether
Mr. Bryan does or does not make
Chautauqua addresses during his
vacation period. He will be criti
cized 1ft he does, and be criticized
for something else if he doesn't.
None need care less than he, since

AEVER SURRENDERS
A
NEWS dispatch from Wash
ington says that Postmaster
General Bnrleson has been
summoned before the senate
postoffice committee board to ex
plain by what authority he proposes
to extend the parcel post system.
The postmaster general, encour
aged by the success of the system,,
recently announced a plan to in
crease the maximum weight of
articles carried. Of course 'this
does not suit the express com
panies and it is quite probable they
are behind the action of the senate
committee.
"The old guard dies but- never
surrenders."
PORTLAND BONDS PREMIER
ODAY Portland bonds are
selling on a better basis
than those of any city west
of the Mississippi river, and
ae a matter of fact, approximately
on the same basis with New York
City bonds."
Such is the statement of one of
the best known financial institu
tions in Portland. New York City
bonds are regarded by bond deal
ers as probably the premier mu
nicipal bonds of the United States.
There could be no higher proof of
the stability and financial standing
of Portland.
Two recent issues of Portland
water bonds brought bids equiva
lent to 4.65 per cent at par. San
Francisco five per cent bonds are
now offered at par and Interest.
Seattle five per cent bonds are sell
ing on tbe same basis, or at an in
terest rate .3 5 per cent higher than

Portland securities by professional
dealers in . bonds. They are men

closely in touch " with the highly
sensitive nerve (Centers of , finance.

HE commissioners were wiseyes-
terday in postponing ;for fur
ther consideration the proposed
ordinance on street speaking.
It ought hot to be pacsed in its
present form. NoboJy challenges
the advisability., of passing a re
strlclive measure, but there would
be serious objection to come pro
visions in the proponed ordinance.
For instance, it prohibits any . per
son "in any public street or public
place within the city of Fprtland
from using any language which
might "preate disrespect or disre
gard for the soveranientB tit or In
the United States.,". Whfle other
pro vision are reasonable, this one
goes too far. Governments must
not be declared iby , law be be
yond criticism.' .Particular forma
of government are -only sacred in
sofar as taey.Hrorve mankind. Gov
ernment is not an. end but a means.
It was only by criticism of the
then existing order that the univer
sal' government by divine right was
overthrown here and there and gov
ernment by. the people established.
The language of " the - ordinance
would forbid criticism of the late
menagerie government in Portland,
a. provision wholly without warrant
and i of almost , certain unconstitu-tlobaity.
A further objectionable provis
ionals the emergency clause. Let

Talking about scalps makes me think
of a comical thing. While General Lane

our men saw an Indian coming up the
road and shot him on general principles.
He. left him lying in the road... A few
minutes later x. mcjt. ration, who later

up the road oa his horse, He saw the
Indian lying in the road s ha got off
his horse, saw tha blood flowing from a

where the bullet had come out of the
back of his head. He decided be was a
good Indian' all right so he took oat
his knife, ran It around the scalp, gave
his scalp lock a good Jerk and had a
fresh scalp. One of our boys saw him
get the scalp. , When Patton came. Into
