Albany democrat., July 20, 1906, Page 4, Image 4

The Late Congress.
The session of Congress, just con-j
eluded has shown the power of an hon--est
and vigilant minority. The demo
crats wore signally successful in fore-'
big the passage of the railroad rate
bill, although they could not defeat its,
mutilation on important amendments.
They joined with honest republicans in
defeating the Roosevelt and the repub
lican machine program for the admiss
ion of Arizona and New Merico as one
state and in passing the enabling act
for the admission "of Oklahoma. The
democrats compelled the republicans to
pass the Tillman-Gillespie resolution
for the investigation of the railroads
and the coal and oil companies, which
has already resulted in the startling
exposures of the Pennsyluania railroad
scandals. They have with republican
assistance defeated the Santo Domingo
treaty, which so greatly enlarged the
scope of the Monroe doctrine and
threatened to involve us in quarrels
with all the South American republics
and likewise the notorious ship subsidy
steal, which was recommended by the
Fres J.nt.
If the democrats had been in powe r
they would have passed many very
meritorious measures which the major
ity defeated, among which were the
Tillman bill designed to prohibit contri
butions by corporations to campaign
corruption funds; the eight-hour bill;
the child labor bill; the bill to reduce
the Philippine tariff, bills to revise the
tariff, especially the bill to reduce tar
iff rates which exceed 100 per cent; the
Tillman resolution for the investigation
of National Banks in respect to excess.
ive loans to favored persons; the La
Follette resolution for investigation of
the relations between the railroads and
the grain elevator corporations; and
the joint resolution to amend the con
stitution so as to provide for tho elec-
tion of United States Senators by di
rect vote of the people, besides many
other wiso laws that were introduced
but not reported by the committees
controlled by the dominant party.
The republicans passed the law to in
crease the President's compensation on
the pretense of paying the traveling
expenses of himself and friends; the
bill deciding that the Panama canal
shall be of the lock type, against the
advice of the most competent hydraulic
engineers; the Aldrich resolution di
recting the purchase of canal supplies
from the protected trusts, notwith
standing lower bids from other bidders.
Tho republican sins of omission have
only been exceeded by their sins of
commission during the past session of
Congress and all their good acts have
been of democratic origin.
A 1G COUNTY.

Crook county Is an empirewithin her
self, and unappreciated by the ordinary
traveler, In the past four years hun
dreds of Linn connty people, as well as
others have passed through portions of
it, following the roads in canyons, and
over low passes, never dreaming that
just over tho ridge lay fertile lands, de
signed to bo tho homes of hundreds of
sturdy yoomanry. Of all theso travel
ers perhaps not a dozen saw or passed
through tho Haystack country Five
years ago it was inhabited by a few
solitary stockmen, and the inevitable
few who go to the uttermost ends of tho '
earth, but aro finally overtaken by civ-
nization, somo few such aro still in this
district who have never seen a R. R,
train, and ono especially when gazing
for thoflrst time on an automobile,
flatters himself that ho was next, and
remarked that he knew what it was
for he had seen tho picture of them. At
that time the precinct containing al
most 5 townships had hard work to
rustle an election board, and so wcl'

Presidential Paternalism
A few weeks aero tho Judiciarv Com-
niittee of the House of Representatives that of tho housewife and the farmer,
unanimously sat clown on the rccom- j who are both up against the manipula
mendalion of President Roosevelt that lions of the beef barons,
the regulation of insurance bo under-
taken by the Federal government. The
President stated it was an interest
"clearly national in character," it had
"outgrown the possibility of adequate
state supervision" and it was high
time that the United States should
"fullow the policy of other nations"
ami undertake "adequate national su
pervision" of tho insurance business.
This paternalistic idea of the President
that the Federal government must step
in, to right all wrongs that it is the
special function of tho states to attend
to, has now been rejected by the Ju-
diciary committee jf the Senate, who
unanimously report that in their opin-
ion: " 1 he Congress is without author
ity under the constitution to supervise
and regulate" such business. The
President is like tho man "convinced
against his will, is of the same opinion
still" nml his opinion of Congress is
well known to be something like his
opinion of Federal judges, which stated
in the White House vernacular was
strong in adjectives.

Tether Mitchells Story.
Esther Mitchell made the following
statement: "Mrs. Creffield end I talk
ed over the matter of killing Mitchell.
The one vho had the best chance was
to do it. Mrs. Creffield bought a gun
at Second avenue and Union street. We
were at the room at about four o'clock
this afternoon and I thought 1 would
have a beiter chance to do it than Mrs.
Creffield,-as my brother wanted to see
me, and I believed he would think
nothing about my going to the depot.
Then Mrs. Crefield gave me the gun
and I was to do it.
We agreed it was to be done as soon
as possible. Mrs. Creffield had been
out once or twice looking for George
and if she had got a chance she would
have donn it acd I would have done the
same. The first that got the chance
was to do it. I would have done it be
fdre if I had got the chance.

Saturday Night Thoughts
If a man spends all his time saying
"it is hot" depend upon it it will seem
like an oven to him all the time, but if
one will go along in a contented, phil
osophical way, making the best of the
weather and keeping one's mind on
business or other things the weather
will not seem half as hot. The mind is
about half in the matter.
How to keep cool, may, nevertheless,
be considered. A reasonable amount
of cold drinks may be refreshing, but
too much is like putting more fuel on
the fire. As a matter of fact it isn't
going to hurt one to get warm occas-
ionally.
These are days in which men are be
ing mentioned for ptesidency. On the
democratic side Mr. Brvan can have the

This week George Mitchell tried for
the murder of Joshua Creffield, the
Holy Roller, whom he shot down from
the back, with no chance for defence,
was found not guilty-on the first ballot.
The jury considered that the extraordi
nary circumstances of the case justified
it. Back of it all the r people decided
the case, so intense was public opinion
in favor ofthe acquital of the defend
ant a jury could do little else than ren
der such a verdict. It is, nevertheless,
to be hoped there are no more cases of
this character. Following his acquital
the country has been shocked by the
murder of George Mitchell by his own
sister, adding to the infamv of Holy
Rollerism.
Death of an Octogenarean. .
Mrs. Zelia Dodel, a prontinent woman
of the Wells neighborhood, Benton
county, died early this morning, at the
age of S4 years. She came to Albany
in 1S08, residing hero a number of years
with her husband arid family, when
they moved to Wells, where Mr. Dodel
died ten years ago. She was a member
of the Catholic church and is highly
spoken of as a mother nnd citizen.
She leaves three sons and two daught
ers, F., Eugene and Paul E. of Wells,
Mrs. C. Reed, of Corvalhs, and Mrs.
Chas. Reed, of Oregon City.
The burial will take pla.e tomorrow

Congressman-elect W. C. Hawley,
some years ago, in an address on Cuba
delivered in Albany, almost went mad
over the tact that Spain compelled
Cuba to pay a small tariff on sugar

Is the "iron heel of oppression" any
softer because it is on the boot of the
, Republican bosses, instead of the King
I of Spain? Wonder if Hawley will be

I farmers of the coast states of the
tarilf on their grain sacks, which is
much higher than Snains sugar tariff

conveyor of things not taken in the
government's own mail. Now it is

is no law on the subject, and will

Th idea the Democrat wishes to ex
press is simply that the company is
used by others as a means for circum
venting the spirit of the law.

a fact learned from actual experience
