ALBANY. OREGON. MONDAY, JANUARY 5
NEWBERRY REPUBLICANISM
Truman H. Newberry, who stands charged with having
resorted to "fraud, conspiracy and corruption" in compass
ing his election as United States Senator from Michigan,
appears daily in the Senate to take part in its deliberations.
He occupies the seat which must remind him of the grave
accusations lodged against him in a federal court. He knows
that visitors in the galleries are pointing him out as a mem
ber whose right to be a Senator is to be tested by a criminal
prosecution. Yet he continues there, in the face of all past
practice and present reasons for remaining away. Truman
H. Newberry must feel that Michigan needs him more than
it needs observance of propriety.

One evidence of the utter want of cohesiveness and ef
toency of the G. O. P. majority in Congress is furnished
by the railroad legislation. The House of Representatives
assed a bill which was hailed and paraded as paragon of
egislative wisdom. The Senate is going to pass another
paragon some time wholly dissimilar and contradictory
to the House measure. The two paragons will then have to
be reconciled in conference.
Some one has estimated that the Republican Congress
uttered a total of 14,000,000 words in the course of the
special session. ; About twice that many more will be requir
ed to explain why nothing was accomplished in seven
months' time.
The Supreme Court has decided that only the Presi
dent can declare the war is ended. Some Republican Senat
ors who thought Congress had that authority are as deficient
as lawyers as Senator Moses is as a doctor.
o
Republican organs are promising that the regular ses
sion of the G. O. P. Congress will be an improvement on the
special session. The regular session may be only half as
long as the spec.al session.

Prof. Garner, the expert on Simian speech, brought
suit against a photographer who accused him, pictonally,
of kissing a monkey. Why get so sore about it? Monkeys
are at least as decent as dogs, and plenty of nice people have
been known to kiss dogs.
Or haven't they?

THERE is a tremendous satis
faction to us in selling the
Liberty.
We know in advance the pleasant
things that are certain to happen.
In the first ten minutes of demon
stration, the Liberty reveals the
delightful difference in the way it
rides and drives.
Its consistent performance there
after, and the admiration Its beau
ty always arouses, are a constant
source of pleasure to' the owner.
We feel that in distributing the
Liberty in this community we are
building a business that is bound
to endure, because it is based on
sustained and continuous satisfaction.

So far as we can grasp the philosophy of the thing, It's the

Hoboing It
Sir: Is a man "traveling thru life"
necessarily "on the road?"
Ana. Not except when he has to
get out and crawl under.
'Wise Ones
Step up; poverty is only a day's
march behind. We all learn well; let
us act accordingly. A rough mug
sometimes hides a polished heart.
Merit and money usually go together.
Don't worry; honesty isn't quite an
unfashionable garment yet. M-o-n-e-y
cannot successfully be made to spell
"matrimony." Individual reason must
legislate laws to curb individual pas
sion. If a man kiss whom he pleaces
he will fsil to please whom he kisses.
Every man's life is a debt to his
country. Who b ss ready to correct
himself ss to publish his brother's
errors? Cheer up; we need not blush

Resolved
"Resolved that I will be a good
American, loyal to my government. Its
law and its institutions, and that I
will help to drive out those who seek
to undermine the principles upon
which it is founded." A pretty good
resolution for all of ua to make and

You Bet!
Let's have the band out and the

Tsle of Two (2) Cents
There was an ancient time,
When upon ten cents, a dime,
A woman bold could have a shop-
ping spree;
But alack, alas, ah's me,
Dimes ain't what they used to be.
Now it takes a ten to buy a cup of
tea.
