A BRAYIbG DEMAGOGUE. William Jennings-Bryan has long been seeking an issue which would bring the democratic party into power and make himself chief magistrate of the nation. It is a mighty work, this. Many excellent, wise and patriotic men have essayed to accomplish it and failed. Mr. Jennings him self has'shown to- the world how the very best fitted m?n, in his own estimation, among: eighty millions may labor ?nd sweat and groan i.iij v. -: . for twice ho ,has luuu ilie "roa issue" ; ; c! '-C: m'ghty host having it imbibed on its ban ners to glo ignominious defeat. He has been mistaken, not in the man but m the issue. He has found the real, unmistakable thing now at issue. It is not an old worn out thing, like free coinage of silver, drawn from the scrap pile of things long since discarded 1oy human experience, but a real, brand new issue. It is no secret now, for Mr. Bryan has published it to all men, his copy rights reserved of course. Here it is: Opposition to abso lute conr.ro! of corporations and . trusts by the federal government because this would destroy the last vestige of state rights. ; "Centralization of power means the doom of state rights. No threats of the punishment of the big offenders can counter balance the proposition to deprive the states of their power to regu late the railroads land other corporations doing business with in the state. " It might be supposed that Mr. Brvan should have shown us an instance where the federal gov ernment has sought to regulate raihoadsand corporations doing business only within a state. But few railroads confine their busi ness within the" limits of a single state. The moment they carry their business into1 two or more states they ara engaged in inter state commerce and come under the control of the federal govern ment as provided by th consti tution. There is here no assump tion of rights by the national government not clearly and con stitutionally its own, nor any centralization in the federal government of power which it has not always had. Mr. Bryan should come out into the open and demand a change in the federal constitu tion which would take this power out of the hands of congress where the framers of the consti tution wisely placed it, and rele gate it to the several states where he would have us believe it always has belonged. But he will not do this for He knows, if he knows anything at all worth knowing on the subject, that for years congress forbore the exercise of its constitutional h power and permitted the state' Liol ri'roads and corporations as they chose. He knows, too, that the states have failed, and in the very nature of things must always fail to exercise any efficient control over such organ izations, and that this flat failure is the prime and chief reason why congress took hold of the matter. Dccc tiiis look as if Mr. Roose vc!v, ori ny one else, for that matter, were attempting un warranted and mischievous cen tralization of power in the feder al government? Assuredly not. Mr. Bryan knows it does not. He is simply attempting to de lude men. He is playing the demagogue. His issue is no issue. . The thing he holds up state rights is no longer even a grinning skeleton with which men anywhere can be frightened aid Mr.. Bryan "writes himself down a braying ; demagogue, CARELESS TALK. The President of the American Bar Association is A. Bv Parker- At a recent meeting of the As sociation he made the occasion 01 his annual address an oppor tunity to argue for strict con struction of the constitution, especially in relation to the reg ulation of inter-state commerce and the control of trusts and as against centrajizatiori of power in the federal government. This is not surprising, for Judge arker is a democrat, and one of the now comparatively few who believe that, politically, a part is greater than the whole. It is an old scarecrow this cen tralization of power and ha& long since so outworn its habila- meuts that it frightens, no one. But Judge Parker is a great stickler for the common law. It may be recalled that once when the president was asking con gress for additional legislation to enable him to prosecute lawless corporations Parker, averted that the common la"w gave the president all the law necessary. This was said in face of the fact that there is no common law in the jurisprudence of the United States. The constitution of the United States and the laws en acted by congress are written laws, and are the only laws gov erning iederal jurisprudence. The courts of the several states may find their methods of pro ceedure and remedies for wrong in the English common law, in the absence of a statute, but not so the federal courts. However, the Judge, advanced one idea which if carried into effect would doubtless give us good, wholesome laws that would be easily administered. He de clares the proper function of the legislator the Jaw maker is supplementary to that of the judge. If this be true why not at once make only judges eligible for members" of state legislatures and of congress? Might we not simplify thiogs yet more by abolishing legislatures and con gress and placing the law-making function in the Supreme courts? This is true this might work" dire mischief. Exercising Its legisla tive function the court 'might pass a law which, when exercis ing its judicial function it must declare unconstitutional, and the- court thus fall intct controversy with itself. It is true that now our judges construe the constitution and in terpret the laws and that it has often occurred laws demanded by the people and enacted with much deliberation and care have been set aside by the judges. Some times the?e law's 'have been drawn up by learned and skillful lawyers and yet failed to satisfy the courts so wecannot believe a legislature composed of judges would give better results than at nresent. Judge Parker, aside from his political bias is recognized as a good lawyer, and because of - j ? be regretted that he so frequent ly talks carelessly, loosely and almost foolishly. Married in Portland. There was a quitt wedding in Portland last Sunday in which a former Corvallis girl was the bride. She was Miss Lulu Turn er and the groom was Charles Ordwavof the Rose city. The wedding took place at the White Temple at 10 o'clock, in the presence of a few relatives and triends. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Straighten, who was filling Rev.
