A Dramatic Scene- A Chicago dispatch tells the follow ing very sensational and dramatic scene: While Governar James H. Peabody, of Colorado, was alone in his rooms at the Auditorium Annex dressing for the dinner of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association, three men entered unan nounced.' Questioned as to their iden tiey and purpose, the spokesman of the party, who gave his name as Emil Ar nold, and his business as editor of a Chicago labor paper, stated that they bore a set of resolutions passed by , the board of business agents of the Build ing Trades Council, professing to repre sent 35,000 men, and that they intended to stay until the Governor had perused them. The Governor read the docu ment which accused him of being a menace to the peace and prosperity of his state, and said: "We mourn the fact that wo are un able to duplicate, with regard to you your acts of deportation, and, being thus situated, we order that the charter of the organization be draped in mourn ing during your stay in the city. We deplore the fact that a man of your caliber could be accorded a seat in gathering of representative citizens of the country who have come together for the purpose of nominating one of their number for the highest position to which any one can aspire the Chief Executive of a free people." "Well," said the Governor, when he finished reading. ' To this interrogation Arnold, whom the Governor persisted in addressing as Benedict, ' 'replied : President Roosevelt has been en dorsed by Alexander Dowie, the Elijah II lunatic who has been attracting con siderable attention. This is not a kind of endorsement one should run after.' Reports of hot weather in the east always produce a spirit of contentment in this country of cool nights. The Pa cific coast sea breezes coming over the mountains and through the gaps are a source of great wealth to this country, not estimated in dollars and cents. Every victory is a Japanese one. A continuous run of victories is liable to turn the heads of the Japs. It is not only pleasant to the Japs but to con siderable of the rest of the world. In some respects so far as the two people are concerned there is not much choice between them, but the sentiment pre vails that Russia is reaching out into territory where she has no business. The vice-president of the Hanover National bank of New York, said at a banquet last week: "President Roose velt has pledged himself to the bankers of the country to carry out whatever policy they determine on as best." It seems quite impossible that Mr. Roose velt has said any such thing. If he has, he is not fit to be president. Tele phone Register. The President of, Yale says inspira tion and devotion are what make a na tion. Devotion ha3 certainly given this country a fine backbone, and it should be retained. A government by the people is what causes devotion, and We are here to say that we regret this should be the policy. The country our- inability to deport you, but we sug gest that you leave this city and state as quickly as possible, if you place any value on your health." Addressing the committee, the Gov ..rner then said: "I suppose that you would like to see me driven from this city, but I want to say to you that I came here last Sunday and made arrangements to stay until Friday. I shall stay until then, when I expect to take the Burlington train for Denver. Were it not for the fact that the condition of affairs in Colorado re- I Crete (Neb.)

Our devotion should be a genuine one with lofty purposes in view, free from 1; the boss spirit that prevails among a class of men who are dominating politics. Press Comment resolution with the collection of scur rilous literature lately received by me. "Your resolution represents nothing but lies. I have never opposed honest labor;unions in Colorado, but there have -been labor men, so called, in my state, who were and are dynamiters, anarch ists and .murderers. If you indorse such methods as have been employed in Colorado, I shall be compelled to place you in the samo class. On my return to Colorado, if occasion requires, I shall continue to deport theso disturbers ef the peace." The Governor did not tell his friends of the incident until a short time before his departure from Chicago. MISFITS. Albany should have had a 4th of July celebration in order to bring home rain. Next morning the carnival grounds looked as if a Nebraska cyclone had struck town. Some new corset covers are being called half backs, because you can see half of the wearer's back. Boys wanted are not the one's who know how to roll cigarettes or even smoke them without rolling. The two horse thieves saved several vears in the nenitentiarv bv pleading guilty, a very wise thing for them to do. A good rule to follow is to let all kinds of shows do their own advertising and succeed or fail on their own merits. Carnivals should be made to exhibit like a circus, paying their own bills, li cense etc, and not be given the streets. I. H. Amos, of Portland, is liable to be hit with the second place on the nat ional prohibition ticket. It is pointed towards him. Another carnival is reported to be headed northward. It should be per mitted to pass Albany. One carnival a year is enough. At Forest Grove there were several straight prohibition votes with No at the local option number. Wouldn' t that make a river run dry. An autoboat has been invented which goes nearly a mile a minute. Small craft will have to get out of the way for the millionaire autoboatists. The Democrat has received a pam phlet entitled Richard Olney, with a short biotrranhical sketch. It fails to mention how he went back on his party twice. An ordinance should be passed pro hibiting the throwing of confetti inside the citv limits. It is a first-class nuis ance and an instrument of the worst kind of hoodlumism.

Ono day this week Washington was I renounced tho hottoit place in the United States, and this during the ab sence of the rulers of the nation. Hamilton .was the most pronounced monarchist of his generation. He wanted a senate elected for life, and a permanent president and nobility, and if he could have had his way the states would have been extinguished and sub jected to a strong central power. If he were alive now he would hate tne cal to ever get in the asylum. The pen itentiary is the right place for him. Government ;rop Report.
