Aldrich, and in bringing about the defeat of Senator McComas of Mary laud and William Hughes of New Jersey, were some of the admissions made by Colonel Martin M. Mulhall, of the National Association of Manu facturers before the Senate lobby com mittee on Saturday. Only a small portion of the testi mony of Colonel Mulhall has been given before the congressional com mittee, but enough has been present ed to substantiate the claim repeatedly made by the Democratic press, that an open alliance exists and has for years existed, between the Republican onal organization and the big fi nancial interests. That thousands of dollars have been expended each year to direct the course of legislation, both through bringing about the de feat of Democratic congressmen, and in securing favorable action upon measures demanded by the big "inter ests," can no longer be disputed. The self confessed personal representative of the National Manufacturers Asso ciation tit Washington admits all these charges under oath and his testimony is corroborated by numerous letters and documents read before the com mittee conducting the investigation Thus has President Wilson's demand for an investigation of what he termed "an insidious lobby" been vi ndicated. Thus has a Democratic con gress substantiated the charges made for the past twenty years against the national Republican organization. The mask of hypocricy and self interest has been torn from the face of tariff protected monopoly, and a clearer and broader view is given to the public President Wilson is to be congratu lated upon his demand for an investi gation of the Washington lobby, but most of all, the public is to be con gratulated upon the election of a Dem ocratic Democrat as president of the United States. A SENSIBLE VIEW. That confirmed drunkards and "dope" fiends should be sent to the insane hospital rather than the rock pile was the statement yesterday made by Municipal Judge Stevenson of Port laud. There is more than a little common sense in the proposal of the Port laud judge and the sooner the same sensible view is adopted by those en trusted with the work of administer ing the law in the municipal courts of other cities, the better. The "dope" fiend and the confirmed user of alcoholic liquor are victims of mental disease and their eases should he treated by skilled physicians and not by some stern municipal judge. Judge Stevenson is right, and it he applies i no same rules nt common sense to other official duties that he lias to this perplexing problem, his administration of the ati.iir of his office should he more than pleasing to the citirus of the Rose City. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? What would happen to the editor ol the IViuocr.il it be told the ex.iet truth about the dead? Here is a striking ex.unple how it would .suuinl. Hied. Wednesday, .Inly l(uh. John Dor, avrd mviv two je.ns. The de. -eased leaves behind him ; family consisting of three children, all of whom he:ted a sih ot relici' when he parsed the gtc..t htyotwt, a". I t hae already eomnleneed to i;u.iitc' over the dhi-ion of lite estate The stthie, t ,.t ti.e -l;,;eh is u known in I inn eonn:, having ,ii--s the plains in .1 bo ear more ihoil twenty c;it s .n;o, arinini; nt P'a" ' w itl'ont a ted ee'.r. and i nun eJia t ely n I ceptiug employment as n bar Koct 1 in a loe tl - alooit. wlm-h pn-i',:.i,M !v held until lie was aide to rob hi- i n-' I ploycr of enough hard cash to en gage in legitimate business. The se- ;ret of his success in the mercantile lusiness was short weight and long prices. 1'he deceased was not however. satisfied with his growing profits and as soon as he acquired enough legal ender, puchascd a tax title. From that date until his death he has ex tracted more than a small fortune from the pockets of the widows and orphans by devious methods. He was once indicted for fraud but an able lawyer and a simple minded jury gave him his freedom after he went on the stand and lied like an Ananias. The subject of the sketch was a faithful member of the church and conceded to be the biggest hypocrite who ever violated the sacredncss of a house of worship. While he was an irritable, tricky, lying old scamp and never earned an honest dollar in his life, it may be said to his everlasting credit that he never became a candi date for any elective or appointive of fice. He was cordially haled by ev ery resident of the city, never had a friend and never wanted one. Each flower that was laid on his jrave came from the hand of a hypo irile and was an Insult to nature. The luncral services took place at 3 p. m and the pastor mortgaged his title to the Kingdom of Heaven when he paid u eloquent tribute to the departed cue. The sermon caused the mem I ers of the little church to wonder if simple truth was a commodity found only among the angels. LIFTING THE LID. That the National Association of Manufacturers scut a representative to Cleveland for the purpose of bringing about the defeat of Mayor Tom L Johnson, gave its earnest and consist ent support to Congressman Little- field of Maine; that for the purpose of better concealing the nature of cor respondence, each member of con grcss was always referred to in let ters by number, and that the associa tion had the pledged support of 'he majority of the Republican members of congress in its campaign for a high protective tariff, were some of the startling statements yesterday made before the congressional lubby "ommittce by Colonel Mulhall. Each day brings forth new and more startling testimony and the end is in.t yet. The lid has been lifted 'if I resident Wilson and "interest'1 owned congressmen are frying in their own fat - w-s That business and politics have been united in the holy bonds of mat rimony becomes more apparent as the investigation proceeds and the demand for an abslittc divorce each day becomes stronger.

WOULD THRIVE WITH RAILROAD FACILITIES Stock Raising, Dairying and Lumber Are Among Indus tries of Section. Alsea, Or.. July 14. The Alsea val ley lies in the southern part of Ben ton and Lincoln counties, and is the valley of the Alsea river, which flows into Alsea bay, about 16 miles south of Yaquina, on the coast. The prin cipal towns are Waldport on Alsea bay, and Alsea, near the upper end of the valley. The valley lies entirely within the Coast range, is surrounded by beautiful evergreen hills, and, alto gether is much like all the little val leys along the coast. Tributary to the main valley are the Five River and Lobster valleys, an excellent dairy country, supporting several hundred persons. These val leys have no stores, and all supplies are brought from Alsea or Waldport. For many years a railroad lias been needed here, to make easier the han dling of the timber, dairy, and garden products, but as yet, no move has been made on this line. Many per sons believe that the P. E. & E. will eventually extend its Bellfountain line over the mountain into the head of the valley, and on to the coast. Lying in the coast range, this valley has the 'benefit of the sea fogs, which keep green the pastures and make the coast the wonderful dairy country that it is. There are three or more cream eries in the valley, all of which do a good business. The valley's products rank .with Coos and Tillamook in quality, if not ill quantity. Some grain and fruit, and an abundance of garden products are produced. Sheep and goats are profitable on the hills. The lumbering industry is yet undevel oped. Hunting here is considered good. Many deer and some bear are killed each fall while the birds are each year increasing. In years past trout fish ing was good, but since the hatchery dam was put in ten miles below Alsea, tne anglers nave met with small suc cess. This dam was carried out by the floods last winter and it is hoped that trout will become more plntiful. About twenty miles southwest of Philomath is the little village of Al sea, containing close to 100 people. In the town are three stores, two ho tels, a blacksmith shop, a creamery, a church, and two school buildings, one built four years ago, and the other last fall. Five teachers were employed last winter and the school is good. The district is very large, making nec essary the two buildings and so many teachers. This town is the center of a large and only partly developed ter ritory, so it will undoubtedly grow much as the country is settled. BeiNGsluinwo, COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS W. I. Ebbert Files Action Against R. M. Rogers for Damage to Personal Property. Demanding judgment in the sum of $950, W. I. Ebbert has filed suit in the Linn county cricttit court against R. M. Rogers. According to the complaint the plaintiff prior to February I, 1908, sold to L. K. Thompson several mules, horses and colts, taking a promissory note and a chattle mortgage upon payment of part cash. It appears that Thompson failed to fulfill his contract of working some land with the teams belonging to the defendant and which was under lease by the plaintiff. This caused the defendant to eject Thomp son from the land, causing a lot 6f crops and other injuries to the per sonal property, according to the alle gations made in the complaint. The plaintiff seeks judgment in the above named sum and for his costs and dis bursements to be taxed. Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Ramho, of Mill City, visited with friends here yester day.
