THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS BRINGS
BACK DfSSAPOiNTED REPUBLICANS
Mantle of-Resignation Is Cast About
Them and Exclaiming in Their
Attitudes, "We Who Are About to
Die, Salute Thee."
WASHINGTON, I). C, Dec. 10.
Washington is nwukc aaln; awake
jo n session of congress Unit is the
lust fnfifuro of fnunpols for nitiny
departing lepuulienn heroes of yes
terday. The hotelkeepors and bonrdinn
houee keepers who have heen in

joiuned last hprin, have crawled
out of their chrvnalidos and. rovers.

pared to flutter aliout during the
cold winter. For the Washington
InwinesR nmn, IJonifnee and store
keeper, makes hay not while the
tiroiliug sun of summer shines, hut
while the chill winds of winter sweep
in from the Potomac, and the leg
iHlatiio and executive steam-heated
limousines, shoot up and down
Pennsylvania avenue.
The session of congress that be
gan this week brought hack a hot
of republicans wearing the mantle
of resignation and exclaiming in
their attitudes:
"We who are about to die salule
you."
For when the shtirt session ends
on the -Ith of next March, the vic
torious democrats will come info
thdir own or rather the people'n
own and the republicans who have
so long accustomed themselves (o
the luxuries of power will leave the
".-eats of the mighty."
TIio Cannons jind the Tnwnevs
and the lloutolls are to step down
from the pedestal of power they
liave so long filled and are to be
replaced bv the Chirks, the Under
woods and the Fitzgeralds, who for
14 years have been among the mi
nority. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, blithe and
cheery as ever, is on hand, bidding
a "long farewell to all his great
ness." If the erstwhile "czar of the
hoiwe" regrets leaving behind his
four terms of the speakership,
through ten sessions of four con-
grese, he doesn't show it. Ho
smites th rostrum with his gavel in
the same old way, even though each

when he must step down and out.

Judiciary Committee of Senate Not

SALEM, Or.. Dec. 10. It. W.
Raymond of Portland has been nam
ed by Actii.g Governor Jay Hower
mun to represent Oregon at tho na
tional congress of Aihericnn Civic,
associations, which will convene at
Washington, I). C, December 14 to
10 and invito The association t
hold its next nununl conference at
Portland.
The Western Union Telegraph
company nnnounced today another
innovation in telegraph service, call
ed tho "special ocean mail service,''
designed to save time in foreign cor
respondence. A letter from Sun
Francisco ft Loudon requires .is
much time crossing tho continent as
it does crossing the ocean. A New
York merchant writing to Yoko
hama must post his letter practically
a week before the mail stea'mor
sails from San Francisco or Van
couver. Tho Western Union hns arranged
for tho uso of its night letter and
other telegraphic service in connec
tion with outgoing ocean mails, so
that this week of transcontinental
time may be saved. Its New .York
offico will receive telegrams from
any part of the country destined to
European addresses and will for
ward them In a sealed specially ad
dressed envelope by tho first out
going Atlantic steamship mail. Tho
same plan will bo followed in San
Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver
for4 trans-Pacifies mail.
This will enable correspondence to
bo dispatched from any irnrt of tho
United States for tin ocean mail
within a few hours of sailing time.
The only charge in addition to the
usual telegraph tolls to tlio ocean
mail vi't will bo fi cents for pot
ugo. Telegrams should bear tho full
mail illdress of the foreign corre
spondent for whom they arc intend
ed, and marked, "Care Ocean Mail,
New York," or Snu Francisco, Seat
tlo or Vuncouvor, as tho ease may
lie.
WASHINGTON, I). C, Dec. 10. -A
canvass of the judiciary commit
tee of tho senate disclosed a con
dition not favorable to tho protest
filed by Senators llourno and
Chamberlain against the appoint
ment of Elmer Colwcll as United
States marshal at Portland. The
indications aro that Colwcll's ap
pointment may be made a test case
and that a quiet st niggle may ensue
over it. It will also develop whether
or not the democrats wjll work with
the progressives during this session
of eongross. Tho test 5h likely to
como over tho unction whether the
president would redeem his promise
to Pulton and Dr. Coo given them in
return for securing the Oregon dele
gation for Tuft in 1008, or whether
he will redeem his promise' to tho
country given in a letter issued
from Hevorly Inst summer, saying
ho ould recognize solintors in re
spect of apportionment, ,whother
they be regulars or progressives. It
is sufe to guess that Colwcll will bo
confirmed.
