WEDNESDAY, APIUI, 1C, 1803.
If I were asked to point to that
act of Jefferson's life which sin
gled htm out In preference to all
of his countrymen as the man of
pre-eminent wisdom and almost
divine foresight as to the future,
westward flight of the star of
empire and the needs of the
country for a strong foothold
upon the Pacific, I would call I
attention to the Lewis and j
Clark xpedltion, the territory
which by It was added to an at- '
ready vast domain, and the com- '
merclal supremacy which that j
acquisition has given the United
States with the Orient. Gover
nor Oeorge E iChamborlaln. I
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
A. E. Reames, the democratic noni
Inee for congress In the first congres
sional district, was horn In Jackson
vllle, Ore., In 18C2. He came from
Southern stock, his father, Thomas G.
Reames, having come to Oregon from
Kentucky in the pioneer days of 1853
nnd his mother is a native of Mis
souri.
Evan Reames received his primary
education in tho public schools of
Jacksonville, and then attended the
University of the Pacific at San Jose,
Cal. Later he was a student In the
University of Oregon. Before com
pleting his course at Oregon's load
ing educational institution, Mr.
Reames went to Lexington, Va., and
entered the law department of Wash
ington and Lee University. While
there Reames won tho debaters' med
al. He graduated from the law de
partment of the Virginia Institution
in 1890. and immediately returned to
Jacksonville for the practice of his
profession. However, .Mr. Reames re
mained In Jacksonville hut a short
time when he formed a partnership
with E. H. Skipworth. of Eugene. Tills
lasted until 1893, when Reames
moved to Portland and associated
hlmseir with C. M. Idleman In the
practice of law. In 1890 Reames re
turned to Jacksonville, where for a
time he practiced law in partnership
with William .M. Colvlg, which part
uersuJp was dissolved a short time
ago.
A, E. Reames married .Miss Editli
Tongue in 1895. They have no child
ren. Mr. Reames was for three years
president of the Oregon Natives Sons
Cabin at Jacksonville, and for one
year held the ofllce of grand president
of tho Native Sons of Oregon. Ho Is
a Shriner In the Masonic order and
belongs to the Red Men and B. P. O.

HOBSON AND THE TRUSTS.
Richmond I. Hohson. retired naval
constructor, is now touring tho coun
try In a frantic effort to arouse en
thusiasm for a gigantic navy.
Hobson's extravagant' views ere
hardly worth consideration, from n
peace-laving people. He Is an ex
treraest of tho most pronounced type.
Ho would wring from the common
people the last cent "f tribute to cre
ate a navy that would bo out of date
in a year after Its construction, on
account of .tho rapid progress of In
vention. Ho would purpetunte nnd
invito wnr by the presence of a groat
Idle army of marines supported by
the people.
Ho would grind down tho common
people by using the money gathered
in taxes ,in preporing for imaginary
wars, Instead of placing more of tho
common conveniences of life at their
disposal. Instead of recommending
the erection of a fedora! building In
iwery humlet of the United 8tates for
the use of the people, he would take
their substance nnd build warships
and create places of rank for arlsto
crntlc idlers.
Hohson is Just a plain advertising
agent for the steel trust. Ho is try.
Ing to create sentiment In favor of
a Btrong navy, so tho next congress
can exploit tho people by letting con
tracts for a few more wnr ships. Ho
Is making a market for armor plate,
Ho is advocating a largo navy from
a patriotic standpoint, when under
ncath ills specious arguments, are
hidden the cold creed of the despollor
of peace.
The plan of Mr. Hohson is tilts:
Appropriate $40,000,000 tho first year
for warships, and then for 12 years
Increase this original appropriation
by $10,000,000 annually, in naval ap
proprlntions. In fact, It would mean
to convert the nation Into a bee hive
of "Industry." But whnt sort of "In
dustry" is this which studies nnd per
fects the arts of murder?
Does not Mr. Hobsou know that a
nation's defenses do not all lie In the
frowning forts and nrmored gun
boats that line the coasts! Does he
forgot that the money spent In build
lng tho engines of peace schools,
mall routes. Irrigation sites, railroads
and public buildings Is better pro
tection to the free institutions of tho
country, than tiiat spent in tho frail
paraphernalia of war?
It would have been bettor for the
country 'If some man with less ora
torical ability had sunk the Merrimac.
A burglars' union has been discov
ered by tho German police. The
Eastern Oregon sheepmen who are
paying their salt bids now, say It is
not necessary to go to Germany to
find such nn organization. It is call
ed a trust, in English.
When a man builds a now fence
around his p'operty. or puln'j his
house, he tuxes hlnisi'K. Yet how
many progressive citizens will hesi
tate to Incur such tax. The city and
school district should show tho same
splendid spirit.
It is safe to say tiiat the Yellow
stone Park never opened its gates to
a more thorough sportsman nor bet
ter shot than tho man now tramping
the snowy paths there. TIall of Roos
evelt's ability lies In ills enthusiasm.
George C. Brownell is called the
'enigma statesman" by the Oregon!-
nn. There is no enigma about him
ills trickery Is all perfectly comprehensible.
Walla Walla is preparing to build
another largo sclioolhouse to meet
the growing population. The building
will coat $50,000.
Tlie mergers aro all on the run.
May tho people keep them moving
until they have all merged with oblivion.
IN HIS OWN COUNTRY.
Tho West, which Is President
Roosovelt's "own country," is welcom
ing him with a hospitality which oven
ho finds too strenuous. This thing of
"delivering judgment nil day long on
nil things great and small," up to
midnight, delights tho Westerners,
but Is proving too much for tho hardy
president, and ho has bad to make
It a rule to turn off tho oratory and
the lights at 10 p. m.
But thero Is a simple heartiness
about his greeting in the Dakotas
which must please him mightily. So
must that little mistake which the
committee made yesterday about his
church affiliations, compelling him to
attend public worship twlco in ono
Sunday, nnd to listen to one sermon
in tho German language. Tlioy nro
not, in tho Black Hills, nice in their
distlnctinns between Dutch Reformed
and German Lutheran; and when their
congressman spoko of tho president's
singular fondness for dlvlno service
In tho Dutch church, at once produc
ed their most eloquent predlgor.

TIMBER WEALTH OF FAR WE8T.
In the United States the heart of
the lumber bolt haB 'moved westward.
At the beginning' of the last century
almost tho entire wood supply came
from the then untouched forests of
tho Penobscot region of Maine. 'As
tho woodsmen cut deop Into the heart
of tho wood the Industry was forced
to find other fields from which to draw
its supply, and tho virgin forestB of
tho south nnd the states bordorlng
on the grent lakes were cut into. Al
though these regions arc by no means
depleted today, the Pacific coast Is
rapidly becoming the heart of the
timber trade. And what wonder?
For In the three Btntes of California,
Oregon and Washington there Is at
least one-third of tho entire supply
of standing timber in the United
States, in figures, It amounts to more
than 000,000,000,000 feet or uncut
wood.
t
The forest reserves of tho national
parks set apart by tho United States
government within the limits of these
three states aggregate an area of 32,
128 square miles, or more than 22 per
cent of the total wooded areu of the
states. In the state of Oregon alone,
where n careful examination lias been
made, the national census officials
have estimated tho standing timber
on these reservations nt 55.000,000,000
feet, or one-fourth of tho Btnte's total
supply.
CLIMATE CHANGED HIS LOVE.
Miss Flora Cross, of Campbell Hill,
who left last November and made the
Journey alone to Manila, Philippine
Islands, writes her parents that Mr.
John Barrow, the man she expected
to wed upon her arrival, had not mot
her according to agreement, and that
a letter from him stntcd that a chnnge
had come o'er the spirit of his dreams
and he would not fulfill Ills contract.
Barrow Is one of the teachers sent
to the Philippines two years ago by
the United States government. Miss
Cross, who was 21 years old. was one
or his pupils in the Campbell Hill
school when he wns a mere youth,
nnd they soon became lovers.
When she arrived at Manila a let
tei from Barrow awaited her, saying
it was Impossible for them to marry,
but slvlng no excuse. She Is staying
at her sister's at Blgaa Bulaco, and
Barow is teaching at Cebu, 500 miles
away.
Miss Cross' sister went from Camp
bell Hill to Blgaa in August, 1900,
and wns married to John Demmcr,
a teacher sent to tho Philcpplnes from
Jackson county on the same ship that
took Barrow. AH four wore students
In tho Southern Illinois Normal in tills
city.
The fathers ot both Miss Cross and
Barrow are wealthy farmers and
prominent in Jackson county. Cob

THE FAIR
A quarter of a century ago bunch-
grass was the chief and almost ex
clusive resource of the broad ulterior
and cuttle, horses and sheep wore the
main tokens or wealth. Thus It came
that the residents of the "upper conn
try" were known as "hunchgrassers."
The term stuck, mid when delegations
from this region attended conven
tions of nny character in the WHfuni-
etto valley or on the shores of Piiget
sound It was invariably applied to
them:
But long ago the expression lost its
distinctive significance it had In pio
neer days. The buncltgrrtss has all
hut ceased" to ripple in the summer
breeze. Long ago the settler's prow
turned it down. The land of native
grasses lias become a hind or grain
fields and" gardens and liuionilns; or
chards.
It Is time, therefore, that the news
papers of Western Washington nnd
Oregon took cognizance of these
chnnges nnd ceused calling our legis
lators, our convention delegutea and
our baseball teams by an archaic
term which is worso than meaning
less and positively misleading, and
which Is no more suited to existing
conditions than the term 'W'apatos"
would be to ball tennis from Portland
and the Paget sound cities. Spokes

A NEW TRAVELING RULE.
The Pennsylvania Company lias
tdopted a rule against llquor-drtnklng
and card-playing on Its trains.
At first blush that looks like an
assault on personal liberty.
On second thought It seems like
a wise regulation.
There aro several thousand human
hogs traveling about tho country.
When they buy n railway ticket they
somehow got tho impression that
thoy have purchased a train and the
rights o ftho rest of tho passengers.
As soon as the train is in motion a
band of kindred spirits Is recruited,
cards nro produced, also several bot
tles of 10-rod, and a miniature bar
room Is opened.
The scone, the talk including the
Jokes that aro to say tho least In
bad tasto aro nil offensive to a ma
jority of tho passengors. Some of
thorn have children witli them, and
parents almost Invariably object to
having their little ones witness tho
actions or tho fow trnvolors who do
not know how to bo respectable.
Oh, yes, there will be talk about
bluo laws and goody-goody measures.
You wouldn't think of of tnklng a
drink In the publicity of a railroad
watting room. If you did. tho police
Jj Agents for the Raymond Washable Kid Gloves
Z
would promptly put an end to your
diversions. Nor would you start a
poker game with a 10-cent limit in
that same waiting room,
Because you would think It curry
ing personal liberty a little too far.
Then why should yon expect to do
those Bnme things In a car In the
presence and to the annoyance of the
very people whoso feelings you re
spected in a waiting room? Respecta
bility and dignity are no less virtues
in the one place than the other.
If you will think- about that new
Pennsylvania rule and the wives,
mothers nnd children who travel,
you'll admit that It contains a little
hardship and nn immense amount of (
good. Spokane Press. ,
MR. HERMANN'S CHOST.
It seems strange that the Eugene
convention should have turned from
the bright nnd blameless young" men
offered ns candidates, to name' Mr.
Hermann for congress. Mr. Her
mann is ever a genial person, and
time wns when he wns a useful' con
gressman. But n stalking ghost 101-
lows him now. It points nn accusing
finger and asks constantly. "Why,
Mr. Hermann, did you quit office un
