Tee Salem street ear system has been
battered from pillar to post for a num
ber of years. Etegianlng as a horse car
line about twenty years ago, in the
hands of : local capitalists, engineered
by real estate companies and agents;
later electrified, then running for some
time as an electric line, but tearing its
owners in a state of financial tUars
pair, it fell under the hammer of the
mortgagee and was sold for a song.
It worried along under the hands of
tbe purchasers of the mortgage until
a few months ago it became the prop
erty of a syndicate who saw a future
in tbe property.
The ,new purchasers began to im
prove the condition of tbe road beds,
the equipment, the service. Salem peo
ple saw - coming an era' of great im
provement in tbe lines in general. The
cars were put in shape for business,
the traffic was expedited and people
were satisfied that Salem 's ear . lines
were a good property for tho eompany
owning them as well as a valuable
service-for the people of the city.?
Imagine therefore the surprise of the
people of ttalem to learn yesteruar that
there had been another change in the
ownership of. the Salem . street railway
ystem. The first news of the entrance
of a neW syndicate into this field be
eame' general-yesterday morning when
it became known that the- gentlemen
who had been purchasers of the stock
of the company when tbe Henry syn
dicate sold out, had sold their inter
eats therein, and that still another com
pany of capitalists were coming into
Salem . for the purpose of operating
the street railways or tnis city or mag
nificent distances.
The Oregonian of Portland had the
first story regarding the matter iu its
yesterday morning's paper, but the
only truth in the Oregonian 's story
was that the Loweneart and Lunirer-
man interests had . been sold to pther
capitalists, E. P. Macornack being the
ostensible purchaser.
The OresTonlan surmised that the tur

Water .Power Company of Portland, the
eompany that has the line running out
of e Portland to Oregon City and Gres
bam, but this is an eror. The pur
chasers are a Philadelphia syndiite,
who are operating very largely iu tbe
West and that have large street car
interests in tbe .bast sIbo.
The purchasers of the stock . of
Messrs. I. Lowengsrt and F. Langer
man ana tneir auiea interests are
Messrs. Rhodes, Sinkier, k, Butcher,
bankers anq brokers, or 432 san&om
street, Philadelphia, Penn. Isaac W.
Anderson, well known in Taeoma for
years as a capitalists and boomer, for
many years connected with the North
ern Pacific railway there, now a . resi
dent of Walla Walla, is the Western
agent of this concern; and this of itself
to people woo knew ana nave known
Mr. Anderson is a good recommenda
tion - of ' the new eompany.
The new company 'a backers are men
who have large interests in this line
all over tne United States. They own
tbe street railways at Doise, Idaho, and
are constructing a line from Boise to
Caldwell, Idaho. They also own tbe
new power plant which has but recent
ly been constructed on the Walla Walla
river to supply walla waua ana Pen
dleton and the intermediate towns with
electric power and lights. They own
the electric and gas plant at - Baker
City; also-the gas plant at Spokane,
Wash. They also own various electric
lines of street and interurban railway
in tbe East jand tbe Middle West. They
are. thus seen to be men of affairs and
just what-their entry into tbe Salem
field may mean will only develop with
time. There may be many big things
in the future for B&lem.
All. three members, of the firm of
in Salem, and were all favorably im
pressed twith this city and the sur
rounding country. : They will ' be hers
again by the end of the month of
March, " ;

will be no change in the company's
policy, except such as may, lead toward
further improvement. .-- l

Hearst Charges Sullivan With Com

Heaps Tirade of Denunciation Upon
Head of New York Congressman.
ASniNGTON, Fob. 13. Not in re
cent years has the House witnessed
such a spectacle as it did today with
o. S. Sullivan, of Massachusetts, and
William R. Hearst, as the central fig
ures. Both indulged in personalities
of the . gravest character and stirred
tbe House so as to arouse among cer
tain members a feeling of the greatest
indignation. Sullivan heaped upon
Hearst a tirade of denunciation, while
the latter, by implication, charged Sul
livan with, complicity of murder.
The affair grew out of a recent dis-'
eussion of the freight rate question in
the House when Sullivan inquired of
Lamar, of Florida, who was favoring
the nearst bill, and why li carst did
not defend his own bill, this being fol
lowed by a criticism of Sullivan in
the New York. American and Journal
Several appeals were made to Speaker
Cannon to cause the two men to desist
from their abuse of each other. The
speaker, however, allowed them to pro
ceed; Sullivan had entirely concluded,
but in the case of Hearst, the speaker,
on reconsideration, noticing the tern
per of the House, decided the accusa
tion of homicide against a fellow mem
ber was unparliamentary, because it
was calculated tn provoke disorder and
disturbance. - Almost immediately
thereafter-Hearst took bis seat, hurl
ing defiance and declaring it would be

individuals such as he charged Sullivan
to be.

at Waldorf-Astoria Hotel Lost Eve-

EW,YORK, Feb. 13. As the guest
of honor of the Lincoln dinner at the'
Republican Club in this city tonight,
President Roosevelt made a speech on
the race problem. Following the Pres
ident, ; Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, re
sponded to the toast "Abraham Lin
coln ;'f George A. Knight, of Califor
nia, spoke on "The Republican Party, '?
and James M. Beck, former assistant
attorney general of the United States;
on "Unity of the Republic" The din
ner was held in the main banquet hall
of the Waldorf Astoria, and in the
number of guests and elaborateness of
decorations it . is believed to have ex
celled any function of its character
ever held in New York. The guests
numbered more than 1300, and not only
crowded the main banquet hall, but the
Astor Gallery, the Myrtle Room and
even the Foyer, -on the second floor
Among tne iniesta were z. women.
wK-k . I n ... 1 : . L. A 1 I
ine President was introduced br
Louis Stein, president of the Ren
f the Republi -
enn Club, in a brief speech. As I'res
ident Roosevelt rose to reply, the ban
queters in tne adjoining rooms crowded
into the main hall and gallery, every
men or wnicn was occupied.
The President begun by quoting from
Lincoln ' second inaugural speech, in
which the' "Liberator" urged a settle
ment of the work in which the country
was then engaged. Continuing he
said:
"We of today, in dealing with all
our fellow citizens, white or colored.
North or South, should strive to show
just tho qualities that Lincoln showed
"All good Americans who dwell in
the North must, because they are good
Americans, feel the most earnest friend
shin for their fellow- countrymen who
dwell in the South, a friendship all the
greater because it is in the South that
we find in its most acute phase one-of
the gravest problems before our people:
the problem of so dealing with the man
of one color as to secure him the rights
that no 'one would grudge him if he
were of another color. To solve this
problem it is, of course, necessary to
oducate him to perform the duties, a
failure to perform which will render
him a curse to himself and to all around
him.
"Neither I nor any other man can
say that any given way of approaching
that problem will present in our time
even an approximately perfect solution,
but we can safely say that there can
never be such solution at all unless we
approach it with the effort to do fair
and equal justice among all men; and
to demand from them in return just
and fair treatment for others. Our ef
fort should oe to secure. to each man,
whatever his color, equality o. oppor
tunity, equality of treatment before the
law. The only safe principle upon
which Americans ean act is that of "all
men up, not that of 'some men down.'
If, in any community, the level of in
telligence, morality, -and thrift among
the colored men ean be raised, it is,
humanly spesking, sure that the same
level among tbe whites will be raised to
an even nigner aeree; ana u is no
less sure that the debasement of the
blacks will in the end carry with it an
attendant debasement of tbe whites.
The problem is so to adjust the re
lations between tWo races of different
ethnic type that tbe rights of neither
be abridged nor jeoparded; that the
backward race lie trained so that it
may enter into tbe possession of true
freedom, while the forward race is en
abled to preserve unharmed the high
civilization wrought out by its. fore
fathers, uor is it only necessary to train
the colored man; it is quite necessary
to train the white man, for on his shoul
ders rests a well-nigh , u-naralleled so
ciological responsibilitv. Every vicious,
venal, ,or ignorant colored man is an
even greater, foe to his on race than
to the community as a whole..
"Laziness : and shiftlessness, these,
and above all, vice and criminality of
everv kind, are evils more potent for
harm to the black race than : all acts
of opression of white men put together,
"Iam. speaking on the occasion of
the celebration . the birthdav of Ab
raham Lincoln, and to men who count
it their peculiar privilege that they
have the right to hold Lincoln's mem
ory dear, and tbe duty to strive to work
along lines that he laid down. We c n
pay -most fitting homage to his memory
by doing the tasks allotted to us in
h nirit in whieh he did the infinitely
greater and more terrible tasks allotted
to him.

Bailey's Bill Baldly Beaten by Big Bal
lot Multnomah Delegation Turns
the Proposition - Down Newell" De
clares the Measure a Steal.
At least two more years will elapse
before Salem will have' the pleasure of
witnessing the purchase or erection of
a Governor's mansion. The Bailey bill
to appropriate. 14.5oO for the purchase
of the Cooke residence near the State
House to be used as a home for the
uovernor of Oregon failed to pass the
House of .Representatives last evening
oy a vote of 29 to 13. The result
proved a great surprise to the support
ers of the measure, as they had every
reason to believe that the bill would
carry by a large majority,- For several
days they have claimed that they, were
assured of victory, as it was taougnt
that the bill would receive the solid
support of the Multnomah delegation.
They were naturally taken back when
several of the Multnomah delegation
oted in the- negative.
Bailor, of Multnomah, in his speech
just before launching tne bill, said it
was a disgrace to the state that tbe
Governor was not provided with a suit
able residence at the Capital City, lie
said the three lots, whieh are included
in the property, were worth nearly the
amount asked for, $14,500, and that it
would be i a good investment for the
state, as all kinds of rent estate were
steadily advancing. .
Representative Burns in advocating
the passage of the bill said the. pur
chase of a Governor's mansion at the
present frn wnithvfw particularly ap
propriate bwtuxe of the "-Lewis -and
Clark Kxposit ion. He , said governors
trom all parts of the Union would visit
Portland this summer, and ald visit
the Governor of the state. If they
came to Salem the Govrrnor would
have no. place to receive, them, which
fact would reiWt no credit on, the
state, lie cited the. examples of other
states which had provided .elegant
homes for their governors and appealed
to the members, to vote for the meas
ure, wbi-h would not only prove a good
business investment, : but would 'r give
the Governor a borne,' adequate and
creditable in every respect. ' -
Representative Newell took' the floor
and stated' that the; Cooke residence
was an old shack, ? which had been
standing for 35 years.; He said the
amount asked for the property was ex
orbitant and that the expenditure of
the same amount for the purchase of
lots and the ereetion of a near re
denee would be a much mese desirable
plan. Miles, of Yamhill, took, tbe same
stand. Several of the: Representatives
said they favored the bill for the rea
son, that it - might settle the question
of a Governor 's mansion, which ba l
been agitated at every i session? of I the
legislature held for years. When the
result of the roll call was announced
the supporters of the measure made no
attempt to hide their disappointment,
It is said that the matter will be re
vived ' and - probably settled for gTO-t
at the next session of the Legislative
Assembly.

The Representative in asking the
permission of tho House to be excused
from voting on the bill, stated that he
had a first introduced a similar bill, but
had to withdraw upon the urgent
mauds of his constituents. lie ex
plained his position on the matter and
said that while he did believe the
Newell plan was the most feasible as
far as balois was concerned, ho did
not feel as though he , could vote
against the wishes of those who elected
him to tho Legislature.
Representative Newell,, who took up
tbe fight when Settlemier withdrew bis
bill, stated in advocating his measure
that the uniform tendency over the
elate was for the abolition of the fair
for this year. He said the State Fair
would be overshadowed and that it
would fall below the precedent of for
mer years. lie went on to say that
the fair grounds were badly, in need
of repairs and as the annual $10,000
appropriation, for premiums would only
be diverted into an improvement fund,
he could see no reason why the
Marion county people eould object.
Representative Kay, of Marion coun
ty, in answering Newell, said that the
State Fair would in no way interfere
with the Lewis and Clark Exposition
and that it would give, tho Eastern
visitors a better opportunity to judge
of the resoureos of Oregon. lie said
that it was his sincere Belief thstr if

that stockmen, from all parts of the
