Editorial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, July 3. Tomorrow is Independence Day.
So it appeared quite fitting to stroll over to the Library of Con
gress and view" the Declaration of Independence. Many others
apparently had the same idea, for there was a lare crowd view
ing the historic document, beneath the thick plate glasB top of
the marble container which protects it.
Thanks to a coat of gelatin, the sacred palladium of our
liberties is remarkably well preserved, and no matter how
familiar one may be with the text, one is deeply stirred to look
down upon the ORIGINAL, and those signatures, actually
penned, by our famous forefathers.
- What struck us as we read
not only determined the destiny
political course of the civilized
restraint, its entire freedom from heat and passion.
We found ourselves comparing it with some of the statements
we heard in New York concerning the alleged iniquities and
abuses of the government under which we now live. The con
trast certainly brought into sharp relief the essential childish
ness, unreality' and make-believe of partisan politics!
Had a pleasant informal chat with Senator McNary, who
looks fit as n fiddle and far younger than his years. In fact
with the exception of the two senate babies, Holt and LaFollette,
the senior senator from Oregon carries off the senatorial prize
for youthful pulchritude and zip. Oregon certainly has reason
to be very prourpof him. We
man in the upper house. And it is a popularity not based upon
back slapping or the easy club-house brand of amiability it is
based upon his fairness, his unfailing courtesy, his devotion to
principle rather than partisanship, and his unusual ability. As
one member of the press gallery expressed it, "McNary can
accomplish more with less fuss, than any man in cither house.
Everyone likes him, , but more important everyone respects
him. and this goes not only for the leaders of both parties but
for the administration."
Yes we talked polities but off the record. The plain truth
is, the political situation in Washington is as scrambled and con
fused as it is in the rest of the country, no one appears to have
a .clear idea of what the present situation is, or what it will
be a few months or a year hence. Our own idea is the people
of the country, as a whole, are politically TIRED OUT, and
want a period of rest in which they can take their bearings.
That is certainly true here
ing desire in both houses is to adjourn and go home. Senator
McNary feels this more strongly than most, because he recently
"had a baby", and aforesaid baby who is only four months old,
And bears the appropriate title
couple of days, with Mrs. McNary and a colored "mammy" for
the McNary ranch near Salem. That young lady may be an
important factor in adjournment. Kor Papa Charles is minority
leader and can do more to speed things up than any other Re
publican in Washington.
A year ago we had a car, and congress had adjourned, so
we found no difficulty in getting about as we wished, and
seeing the various points of interest, in a leisurely fashion. This
year wiin no car, anu congress in session, we have been acutely
impressed with the tremendous distances in this beautiful city,
and the difficulty involved in covering the ground one wishes
to cover. We will say this taxi fares in the national capital
arc cheap, cheaper than any city of the size we have ever
visited. Hut unfortunately they compel taxis to stay on the
streets. This slows down progress materially.
Take the senate office building for just one example. A tnxi
will take you there for 20 cents, but. when you get out your
transportation troubles only begin. There is no taxi to take
you to Room i'.ili where Senator McNary holds forth!
You have to walk, without a road map or so much as a pair
of roller skates. AnuV.if you wish to see Congressman Pierce
over in the Congressional office building the other side of the
capitol you must walk also. And before you get through you
will find you rode about two miles and walked at least four.
These two buildings are beautiful and impressive piles of
granite and marble and tile. But walking on marble, granite or
tilo is not all it's cracked up to be, the footing is so uncertain,
particularly when you turn a corner. And the distances!
Johnny Kelly, able correspondent of the Oregonian, has an
office in the senate building, with Carl Shoemaker who is secre
tary of the committee on the conservation of wild life (formerly
spokesman and factotum of the Oregon game commission) and
ho says it 's a good mile from his offico to Senator McNary 'a. It
took us 1") minutes and wo could sec nothing good about it.
Sorry to find Carl had been recently called to Oregon, be
cause of the serious illness of his wife. In addition to Johnny
Kelly there are many interesting exhibits of wild life in the
office, a huge picture of wild ducks in color, a couple of bison,
and fishing rods and guns in one corner. Carl is regarded as
one of the highest authorities in tho country on the conservation
of wild life.
Too bad ho couldn't have been here yesterday to have con
served some wild life over in the House. Congressmen Kkwall
and Mott were very wild. and Congressman Pierce was the cause
of it all. Weeping Walter it seems spoke a few words on the
now famous holding company bill, which in the confusion and
general rumpus prevailing no one could hear, and then asked
that he be granted the privilege of extending his remarks in the
Record. This was given, as usual, but when the Record came
out there was a table thumping campaign speech peeling the
hide off of his two Oregon colleagues for casting their votes in
favor of tho Power Trust, etc., etc., etc. As now everyone in
Oregon who reads the newspapers knows, Walter upheld the
president in the so called death sentence whereas Mott and
Kkwall didn't. Needless to say the two Oregon representatives
were pretty well burned up and both rose in the House today
to defend themselves. It wasn't very sporting of Walter, but
as a matter of practical politics, he has the best of it. The
holding company issue is like the Wall Street issue. There is
very little difference between the death sentence bill and the
House bill, but few people will take the trouble to get into that.
Pierce was against the holding companies, while Mott and Kk
wall weren't politically speaking that will be the net result.
no inattvr how justified Kkwall and Mott were in opposing the
more radical measure.
Paul McKee, former manairer of the California Oregon Power
company, now the big shot of electric power and light in Port
land, was here during the big death sentence battle, as were
most of the other higher ups in the industry from coast to coast
and the gulf to the Canadian border. He left for Portland by
plane this morning. Now there is to be an inxestigation of the
power lobby as well as the alleged pressure brought to hear
by the administration. So whether conirress adjourns on August
first or nut, some of these poor perspiring press birds will have
to stick around all summer! R. W. R.

When all is said and a whale of a

Comment
on tha
Day's News
By FRANK JK1NS.
THE SISEMORE family moved trom
the Rogue River valley to tne
Klamath country in the eany
eighties, settll.r.g in the Wood River
valley near Fort Klamath.
Llnsey first remembers coming Into
Port Klamath with a band of horses,
headed for the Rogue River valley.
The man with whom he stopped,
being a good booster, asked him
why he didn't settle down there, in
a good country. Llnsey, then a
youngster, answered flippantly tnat
he saw no good-looking girla around
and didn't see why he should settle
In any such place.
The man answered: "Bub, most
men have to be about 30 before
they're worth shooting, but I can see
that you'll have to be older than
that."
A.-4
yHE Wood River valley, in those
days, waa distinctly not tne
beauty spot It Is now. In fact, it
was an arid desert, with a pecu
llarly light, powdery soil that drifted
before the wind In choking clouds
It was only with the coming of irri
gation that It became one of the
great grazing districts of the west.
Incidentally, Llnsey relates that
the builders of the first ditch were
assured solemnly by a local resi
dent that they couldn't get away
with it that water would How
through a -ditch down a mountain
but the curvature of the earth would
stop It on the flats.
There were some funny ideas then,
as now.
THE first Industrial enterprise in
the Fort Klamath country, and
one of the first In the wholo Klam
ath region, was a grist mill built
on the present site of the agency by
John P. Loosley.
"When Mr. Loosley built his grist
mills," Llnsey relates, "there wasn't
a grain of wheat grown In the whole
Wood River valley, and so far as i
know none or at least very little
In the whole Klamath basin. -
"But that didn't stop him. He
went right ahead and built his mill."
IT takes courage to build a flour
mill In a country where not a
head of wheat has yet been grown.
But, for that matter, It took courage
to build railroads into the raw west,
which as yet had not produced a
single ton of what might be called
"civilized" freight.
The builders of the first railroads
across the western deserts, where no
homes or farms or factories yet ex
isted, and John P. Loosley, wno
didn't hesitate to build a flour mm
in a country that had not yet grown
a sack of wheat, possessed the kina
of courage and daring and willing
ness to take long risks that in a
few short generations built this coun
try from a raw, savage-infested wil
derness to what It Is now.
It is not the intention here to
talk politics, but this writer's fear
Is that the new dealers and the
brain trusters and the rest of tne
hcad-in-the-clouds crew that la now
In charge of our government win
DESTROY this dauntless spirit oi
courage and daring that built our
country.
If they do, heaven help us in tne
future.
ONE more quotation from Lin say:
"In those days, my father ope
rated livestock all the way from the
Rogue River valley to the Deschutes
country, and we regarded it as some
thing of a lark to move cattle from
one end of this route to the other.
We thought nothing of two or three
weeks In the saddle.
"Now, when we move cattle from
Fort Klamath to the siding at Chiio
quln (a distance of some ten muesj
we send the saddle horses back in
a truck and ride home on the cush
ions of a car.
"Times have indeed changed
THOSE ere great old days wnen
Southern Oreeon wa beintr hunt
from the wilderness it was then to
the paradise it is now. it's a pity
that more of the few who now re
main of that magnificent company
of empire builders do not talk more
frequently and more publicly of their
experiences in that age that now is
past.
It Is a fascinating story, and we
of today can't hear enough of It.

court. It may assume the importance
of the Schecter case.
Galling also is the fact that the
Hoosac Mills Is none other than Wil
liam M. Butler, former Republican
chairman, friend of Coolidge. He is
the receiver for the company.
You never hear much any more
about the Washington press corps be
ing seduced by the government press
agents or about the influence wrought
by Mr. Roosevelt's sociable smile. On
the contrary, there are vague mur
murlngs among new denlers that the
newsmen have turned against Presi
dent Roosevelt; that they are now
hostile.
There Is no more substantial basis
for the second assertion than there
ever was for the first. Both contain
about 20 per cent of truth.
The fact ts a flow of news has set
In against the president. Newsmen
did not make the supreme court de
cision on NRA, the house insurrection
on the utility bill or the reaction to
the tax plan. On a broad general
average, they merely are reflecting a
turn of events. Some are hostile, some
are not. There has been little change.
As for the press accnts. some few
of them have taken advantage of the
cessation of ' attack, to swerve their
activities. Some (not a majority,
perhaps) have forgotten the fact that
they are public officials and have be
come personal press agents for what
ever boss happens to be over them
They have begun functioning some
what like the Hollywood press agents
trying to publicize movie stars.
In many cases this is not the fault
of the press agent, but of the bosses,
who want to see their names In print
every day.
The result Is not helpful either to
the new deal or to newsmen.
Let It be recorded for the record
that the man who put his foot down
on new expansive NRA legislation was
Attorney General Homer Cummlngs.
It was he who prevailed over the
combined proposals of NRA-er O'Neill
and four federal trade commissioners
at an unrecorded White House con
ference about two weeks ago. They
wanted Joint action on new codes
containing labor as well as fair trade
practice provisions. Also they had
Ideas about further strengthening
legislation at this session.
Mr. Cummlngs was "amazed" at their
audacity. He is supposed to have told
the president It meant venturing Into
a shadow land of legality. Mr. Roose
velt agreed.
Hence the NRA Is to be what it is.

nothing more.
