THE CUMPA N Y HE KEEPS.
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.

A New Year's Surprise.
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.
