The Republican newspapers of Iowa are beginning to' judge a man by trie company he keeps. Speaking of Governor Cummins' trip to Boston for the purpose of joining Free-Trader Whitney m an argument favoring tariff wrecking. - The " Nevada 'Re presentative" says: "It ii no sitis faction to an Iowa Republican paper to report a de bate of this sort The Republi can Governor of Iowa ; was in Democratic company, arguing with one of the ablest Republi cans in Congress and against the unmistakable positions of the Republican party in the nation. We do not think that the Gov ernor was in the company where he logxally belongs, but we also wish he would wait until his of fice expires before he advertises the fact so conspicuously." It is a just and reasonable re cuest. Mr. . Cummins out of re spect for the political party that I has twice honored him should at least wait until he has ceased to be Governor of Iowa before he openly consorts with Democrats and Free-Traders in a movement planned by Democrats and Free Trad ers for the injury of the Rapublican party. Pending the expiration of his term of office the Iowa Republican journals might well unite in applying to Governor Cummins the advice of Hamlet to his mother: "Assume a virtue if you have it not." And Mr. Cummins would do well to heed that counsel. GOVERNMENT RATE-MAKING. Of late there has been much discussion regarding government rate-making when dealing with railroads. At times there has appeared to be a considerable de mand for the government to at- tempt absolute . control of the business of our common carriers so far as rates are concerned. But this demand is subsiding and it at no time came from the major part of our people. For the government to make iron-clad rates would inevitably entail government operation of railroads in all branches. Would this be a wise proceeding on the part of the government? Is the government prepared to under take such a work? In view of the fact that individualisin is the creed of our national life, and tends to develop the highest type of human character, it seems strange that there should ever have been such an advocacy of government ownership of rail roads as there has been in the recent past. To place the matter of rate making in the hands of the inter-state commerce commis sion, with authority to fix the rate, seems unfair. It seems more like a "square deal" to authorize that body to fix a maximum rate. Moreover, the inter-state commerce commis sion should see to ir. that there are no rebates, no deferential , rates, no unjust discriminations against one shipper in favor of another. This would be very well, but to delegate to this com mission absolute power and authority to control all railroad business of the United States seems a dangerous thing to ad vocate. The matter would then bacome a political one purely and instead of the virtues of justice we would have partisanship of the worst kind, to the everlast ing destruction of individualism. To control in the interest of lairness is right and proper, but to' carry the railroad question to the point of absolute ownership looks like signing the death war rant for all great enterprises in which an individual mav en In Memoriam. All ofd residents of -Benton county will remember E- P. Hammond. This worthy gentle man has gone to the "great be yond,',' and we reprint the follow ing oh the life of this good man from a Southern Oregon paper, a clipping" of which was kindly handed to us: . ' , Our departed comrade, E. P. Hammond was born in Buffalo, New York, Augusts, 1834, and died at Medford, Oregon,1 Nov ember 30; 1905, (Thanksgiving Day) aged 71 years, 3 months and 8 days. He left a wife arid two daughters to mourn his loss, besides a host A of sorrowing friends. He was a maw of an active and determined disposi tion, who knew riot the "words fear, nor failure, a characteristic so marked that a friend of his remarked that one could still see the old-time firmness iihis dead face. He was a type of mankind that leads and does not follow, that thinks and does not have his thinking done. He was a prom inent school teacher and lawyer in his youthful days; an abolition ist before the Civil war and his life was threatened time and again in old Kentucky if he did not stop his anti-slavery agita tion: a pioneer of Colorado's early mining days; one of Med- ford's early settlers. He was an elector for Oregon on the Union Labor ticket in the early nineties whose platform was a plea for shorter hours and better pay for wage-earners. Shortly after this the People's party bloomed into flower, the result of tens of thousands of farmers getting to gether in their alliance meetings discussing - such ques'ions as what makes the farmer's lot so hard and what ails otir body politic. This found in comrade Hammond an able champion. Real Estate Transfers. Abstract of Benton county fil ings for week ending December 30, 1905: Mary E.

A large number of the mem bers and friends of " the Congre gational church planned to make a New Year's call won the pastor, Rev. Green and his wife. Monday evening. When the aoor bell aunoauced someone asking admittance, Mrs. Green answered the call and to hersur prise members and friends came until it was a question with the hostess where any more wou'd find room. After a pleasant social hour, Mr. F. G. Clark, church Secre tary, in earnest and in very com plimentary words presented to Rev. and Mrs. Green, in behalf of the congregation, an elegant and beautiful gift of cut glass as a new year token of appreciation of the faithful and .satisfactory woik done by the pastor and his wife. Wishes for a Happy New Year were given and the callers left with one more pleasant evening in memory. The church has made excellent and substantial progress during the three years of the present pastorate and is in fine working condition. Mr. and Mrs. Will Fleming, of Salem, who have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Clark, were present. Mrs. Fleming, nee Miss Laura Beckwith,' was be fore her marriage, a very help ful member of the church. The Original.
