Mr. Rooseveit as a Free Trader
Ultra-protectionists have never felt
that they could at all times depend
upon Mr. Roosevelt. They know what
many people have forgotten, that at
one time and not so very many years
ago, either Mr. Roosevelt was one of
the conspicuous members of the New
York Free Trade league. When he re
signed from membership in that body
he wrote that he was "a republican
first and a free trader afterward."
Some of the ultra-protectionists doubt
less suspect that Mr. Roosevelt feels
very much at home in the position tak
en through Secretary Taft'sjfree trade
order. They rememberjthat when Mr.
Roosevelt wrote the "Life of Thomas
Benton" he had something to say con
cerning protection. Ori pages366 and
67 of that book will be found the fol-
lowing: "The vote on the protective
tariff law in 1828 furnished another il
lustration of the solidarity of the west.
New England had abandoned her free
trade position since 1824 and the north
went strongly for the new tariff; the
southern seacoast states, except Lou
isiana, opposed it bitterly; and the bill
was carried by the support of the west
em states, both thejfree and the slave,
This tariff bill was the first of the im

believed in and was opposed to the
principles of the bill, but as it had bid
for and secured the interest of Missouri
by a heavy duty on lead, he felt him
self forced to support it; and he so an
nounced his position. He simply went
with his state precisely as did Webster.
The latter in following Massachusetts'
change of front and supporting the
tariff of 1828, turned a full and com
' plete somersault. Neither the one nor
the other was to blame. Froe traders
are apt to look at the tariff from a
sentimental standpoint, but it is in re
ality purely a business matter, and
should be docided solelyon the grounds
of expediency. Political economists
have pretty generally agreed that pro
tection is vicious in theory and harmful
in practice; but if the majority of the
people interested wish it, and it affects
only themselves there is no earthly
why they should not be allowed
reason
to try the experiment to their heart's .
content. The trouble is that it rarely '
does affect only themselves; and in
1828, the evil was peculiarly aggravat
ing on account of the inequal way in
which the proposed law would affect
different sections. It purported to
benefit the rest of the country, but it
. . . w
undoubtedly worked real injury to the
planter states and there is small ground
for wonder that the irritation over it
in the region so affected should havo .

changed his views on this subject. His
position may have been like "that of a
cood many other mem who, in their
public capacity, are obliged to appear
as protectionists." Perhaps Mr. Roose
velt has all along believed with the po
litical economists who, according to
Mr. Roosevelt himself, have "pretty
generally agreed that protection is
vicious in theory and harmful in prac
tice." Commoner.

Portland, June 13. In spite of
modern enlightenment the figure 13 is
still a hoodoo to Californians and Ore-
gonians. For this reason the scheduled
dedication for today of the California
buildings at the Lewis and Clark Ex-
position has been postponed unti next
month, and the Oregon cities of La
Grande and Union have also postponed
their day at the fair for the same rea
son. Hence today was a quiet day at
the World's fair, although the beauti
ful weather brought out a good attend
ance. The only special features are the in
teracholastic relay race at the baseball
park and the regular band concert.

The first of the week was cloudy and

"I don't approve of any young man
smoking cigarettes, and as to the drink
proposition, the idea is simply don't
do as I do or did, but do as I say.
Another thing that I believe is that
all young boys should do more or less
calesthenics, no matter in what phys
ical condition they may be. By taking
a certain amount of exercise, not mak
ing it hard for themselves, but easy by
having somebody instruct them, they
can make good athletes of themselves
in general. All young men should learn
how to box, be taught the manly art,
of self-defense. It makes every muscle
in the body firm and vigorous, the
movements energetic, the eye quick
and has a tendency to make the brain
active.
Now, another thing I would approve
of, if I were on the board or school
committee, and that is, have a small
gymnasium attached to every public
school. I do not see why this should
not apply to public schools as well as
colleges. No boy or man can afford to
indulge a liking for anything.no matter
what it is, that will affect his proper
development. Again, i say, uo not as
I did, or do, but do as I say, and ac
quire and maintain a vigorous man

MITCHELL FIGHTING HARD.
Depending on Technicalities.
Portland, June 12'. Arguments
were made today before Judge DeHaven
on the demurrer in the Mitchell, land
fraud case. Thurston and Bennett
appeared for Mitchell and Heney for
the Government.
A strong attack was made on the
validity of the indictment which accuses
Mitchell of accepting money paid firm
of Mitchell and Tanner by Krebs to
expedite patents. It alleges it omits
a number of allegations and vital
charges, tails to identify transaction in
which alleged compensation violated
the statute.
It does not state when transaction
occured or Bpecify what land claims in
volved. Their strongest case is against
Mitchell. If demurrer is sustained, the
case cannot be prosecuted on account
of the statute of limitations.
Portland, June 13. Judge DeHaven
overruled the demurrers of Senator
Mitchell and the trial is set for next
Tuesday, June 20 the jury was drawn. :
