WILSON WINS.
When President Wilson filed his
indictment against the "insiiTlou lob
by" maintained at Washington by the
National Association of Manufactur
er!, juotesls went up from every inan
ufaciiniuj industry in t,he country.
Counter charges of insincerity and po
litical libel were filed against the pres
ident by those who were made de
fendant.'; in the congressional inve.iti
et.iIimi w'Hch followed.
Tot'ay W ilson stands actpnitM by
the unanimous verdict of the Repub
lican and Democratic members of the
house committee having charge of the
investigation and the National Asso
ciation of Manufacturers has been
found guilty on each and every count
drawn by t'hc president.
Woodrow Wilson is not the I;. ml of
a iuau who starts something unless
there is reasonable grounds tor belief
that he can fiuis i his task with credit
I I.iuiself and t; t'he cou'it.y He
fires no blank '.at tridges aid he hits
front t'he shoulder. It was a sad day
for the professional lobbyists when
they put on the gloves with t'he man
in the White House.
CONGRATULATIONS TO WEST.
The Democrat congratulates Gov
ernor West on the appointment of
Floyd llilyeti as a member of the
State Fish and Game Commission.
Young, energetic and capable. Mr.
Hilyeu possesses all of t'he qualifica
tions which go to make up an exeel
lent public official. Moreover h is a
thorough Democrat. He is vice pres
idrnt of the Jackson club of Port
laud and has contributed much lo the
success of that organization.
In the young men of the state lies
tlic only hope of permanent success
for the Democracy of Oregon. When
capable young men can be found to
fill the various positions of trust, both
the public service and the party organization-
will benefit from the se
lection. According to the annual report of
the Comptroller of t'he currency, the
per capita wealth of the United State.
is $JIS(i. The Democrat rises to a
point of or tier. We find ourselves
$.M,55 short and demand and account
ing. While cases of sickness ami distress
leipiiring financial assistance ate few
in I'his section of the state, questions
of this character should be ban tiled
in the same manner as they arc hand
led in the mm e metropolitan cities.
A permanent board of charity should
be organized and headquarters main
tained at '.he usual place of business
41 f its presiding offieer-K:ich cae
demands a personal in cstigation and
that investigation should be made by
an officer of an org. miat ion which
makes it its business to pass upon
all eases ai ising ft out poverty or
neglect.
'Hie Democrat is again disappointed.
Wr had hoped tli.it the Noble peace
prize would he awarded to e -President
Roosevelt for his work in main
taining peace at the Republican Na
tional convention.

LINN'S Mexican
REBELLION OVER
Francis Rama Sentenced to
Five Days in County Jail
for Trespassing.
JUSTICE L.L. SWAN EFFECTS
SETTLEMENT GF SITUATION
"Hex" Was Net Successful in
Holding Fortification in Vac
ant Farm Cabin House.
Linn county's Mexican rebellion
was settled yesterilay in. Justice
Swan's court, when Francis Romao,
was sentenced to five days in the
county jail on a charge of trespassing.
Komao was arrested yesterday
morning by Constable Catlin on the
Ashton farm five miles south of Al
bany, upon complaint of Farmer Ash
ton, that the little "Mex" had taken
',iossession of a vacant house on his
land and fortified wit'h a blanket roll
and several improvised cooking uten
sils, stoutly rebelled on repeated oc
casions when told to move on. Romao,
it is said, even rebelled when the con
stable arrived to arrest 'him. Thus
was brought to a close a Mexican
rebellion in Linn county.
Fleeing from the turmoil of his own
country, it is said that Romao got as
far as Linn county by riding the
brake beams and hoofing it. It was
while walking northward aimlessly,
it is said, that Romao spied t'he emp
ty cabini After bu mailing jicross
the field, he therein made himself as
comfortable as possible under the cir
cumstances and planned to stay, when
the invasion was discovered by the
owner.
Romao i a small fe'llow, with
bright dark eyes and a thin mustache.
He doesn't speak a word of English.
During t'he trial it was necessary to
secure the services of an interpreter.
Throughout the ordeal he was very
meek. On his ability to adjust the
Mexican situation, Justice Swan has
received many flattering comments.
Constable Catlin stated this after
noon that in making the arrest he
did not take time to communicate
with Secretary of State Bryan- and in
stead acted as his own secretary in as
diplomatic manner as was becoming
t'he situation, as the Mexican drew a
knife on him.
