In every wise struggle for human
betterment one of the main objects, ;
and pften the only object, has been I believe that the officers and es
r hlpv In lara-er measure equality peclnlly the directors, of corporations,
of opportunity. In the struggle for ;
this great end, nations rise from bar-:
barium to civilization, and through it'
people press forward from one stage;
of enlightenment to the next, une
of the chief factors in progress is the'
destruction of special privileges. The;
essence of any struggle for healthy '
liberty has always been and must
always be to take from some one man
or class of men the right to enjoy I
power, or wealth, or position, or im-
munity, which has not been earned :
bv service to his or their fellows.
At many stages in the advance of(
humanity this conflict between the;
men who possess more than they
have earnea ana me men wno iwyo

central condition of progress. In ;
our day it appears as the struggle of

At every stage and under all clrcum-

to equalize opportunity, destroy priv-,

The true friend of property, the
true conservationist is he who Insists
that property shall be the servant
and not the master of common
wealth; who insists that the creature
of man's making shall be the servant
and not the master of the man who
made It. The citizens of the United
I States must effectively control the
mighty commercial forces which they
i have themselves called into being.
There can be no effective control
of corporations while their political
activity remains. To put an, end to

We must hnve complete and ef-
iccuve puuuuuy uk curpuruie auairs,
so that the people may know beyond
peratventure whether the corpora-
tioim obey the luw and whether their
management entitles them to the con
fidence of the public. It Is necessary
that laws should be passed to pro
hibit the use of corporate funds di
rectly or indirectly for political pur
poses; It Is still more necessary that
such laws should be thoroughly en
forced. Corporate expenditures for
political purposes, and especially such
expenditures by public service corpor
ations, have supplied one of the prin-
cipal sources of corruption in our po-
jtcal aftlilrf.
Regulation Necessary.
it has become entirely clear that
we must have government supervision
of the capitalization not only of pub
lic service corporations, including
particularly railways, but of all cor
porations doing an inter-state busi

forced into ownership of the railways
if it can possibly be avoided, and the
only alternative is thoroughgoing and
eirective regulation, which shall be

tary of Interior Root May Be Dis

rent today' that Secretary Bellinger
will be forced out of the cabinet by
a bold political stroke. It Is declar
ed that instead of being whitewashed
by the committee, he will be censur
ed, thus forcing President Taft to ask
for his resignation.- The success of
the plan depends on eliminating the
votes of Congressman McCall and
Senator Root. If this works, the vote
will stand 6 to 5 against Ballinger.
Senator Root is now at The Hague
in the Interest of the New Foundland
fisheries cases for which place he
sailed before the hearing closed. It
is planned to disqualify him because
he did not hear important testimony.
It Is understood Senator Crane of
Massachusetts, is using pressure to
force McCall to change his vote. It is
intimated the administration leaders
deemed It advisable thus to force
Ballinger out.

HORSEMAN
END OF WORLD AT HAND
SAYS HOLY ROLLER
Boston, Aug. 31. Only a few hours
more and this old world will go to the
demnition bow-wows. This statement
is made on the authority of Elder A.
J. Raw-son, an apostle of the Holy Rol
ler sect, who declares that the world
will come to an end at midnight to
night. Rawson alleges that at midnight this
globe will round out Its 6,000th year,
and claims that he can prove from
the Bible that the world Is due to suf
fer a great change on Its 6,000th birth
day. The great tragedy will begin
with a fire against which the puny ef
forts of mundane fire departments
will be as nothing. All of the peoples
of the earth will be consumed in the
big blaze, except those who have been
born again, namely, the Holy Rollers.
The Rollers will enjoy the spectacle
of seeing their neighbors, protectants
of other sects, Catholics, Jews, agnos
tics and all other adherents of false
religions or of none, burned to ashes,
but angels will come down from heav
en and carry away the' Rollers, safely
nestled in the folds of the anegllc
wings.
Finally, when the world has been
entirely "cleaned" by fire, a new spirit
will descend upon the earth, a garden
of Eden, world-wide in extent, will
spring up in a day, and the Holy Rol.
lers will descend again and claim the
whole world da their own. But the
Rollers, instead of stomach, liver,
blood, gizzard and similar Internals,
will be filled to the nozzle with im
mortal glory, and will live forever In
this worldly arcady.
All the Rollers In Massachusetts are
spending the day in fasting and prayer
as a preparation for the new world
that Is to come. Varacious reports
from several places state that some
of the Rollers already have a goodly
growth of fuzz upon their shoulders.

OPENS IN PROVIDENCE
Providence, R. I., Aug. 31. An in

by the Atlantic Reeper Waterways as
sociation, which convened here to
day in third annual session. Although
President Taft has cancelled his en
gagement to address the convention,
scores of other noted men are on the
program for addresses. Congressman
J. Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia,
is president of the association. Com
mander Robert E. Peary, the north
pole discoverer, has agreed to deliver
an oddress tomorrow.
Much money has been spent in fur
therance of the waterways scheme
since the last meeting of the associ
ation, Including a large part of the
$100,000 appropriated for a survey by
army engineers of routes for canals
to connect the streams and bays along
the Atlantic coast from Portland to
Jacksonville.
Local waterways boards of cities al
ong the route have also accomplished
much of value during the twelve
month, and the reports to be present
ed at the convention will be of great
interest.
President Moore declares that the
hie protect has now renehert thp em.

engineers who surveyed the route will
be presented to congress this fall. !
Whether the Atlantic seaboard shall!
remain "bottled up." asserts Repre- j

brought to bear within the next year.

Dr. C. J. Smith, state senator from
Umatilla county, today announced his
candidacy for reelection to the sen
ate and he will go before the people

The announcement of his candidacy
was made by Senator Smith today af
ter he had been urged ror weeks to
seek reelection.
According to Senator Smith he was
averse to running for the senate
again but has consented to do so he
cause of the insistent requests of
friends of all political parties and re
siding in all sections of the country.
For a long time Dr. Smith was prom
inently mentioned as a prospective
candidate for the democratic nomina
tion for governor. By friends in va
rious parts of the state he was urg
ed to try for the gubernatorial Job
and it Is possible he might have done
so had there not been a multiplicity
of democratic candidates. Had he
entered the race it la the prediction
of his local friends that he could have
easily secured the democratic noml-
nation.
A Strong Record. -
Because of his long public service
few residents of Umatilla county are
more widely and more favorably
known than Senator Smith. During
the past eight years he has served
this county in the state senate aad
served it with credit. Numerous
' measures are now upon the statute
books as a result of his work. I
the last legislative session he was the
leader of the fight for the Eastern
Oregon normal school and for many
measures affecting the welfare of
eastern Oregon.
Aside from serving as senator from
this county, Dr. Smith has also held
many other public positions, though
they have been offices with much
work and no pay. He served a term
as mayor of Pendleton and has been
a member of the local school hoard
for 17 years. He has been secretary
of the " local pension board for 19
years, Is now a member of the board
of higher curricula which has to do

lege and at the state university; he

cluded his official statement of his
candidacy, but he expects to have the
same ready within a few days when
the same will be published in this
paper.
