This would indicate that the railroad influence is very, strong in the Panama canal com mission or that the acquaintanceship of the employing power has not gener ally extended . beyond railroad circles.

TIME F OK A SECOND GtfESS. , In the July number of Everybody' Mr. Thomas Wt. Lawson answers a num ber of questions from a banker, an many no doubt will give him credit foi. hia nerve in answering tbem, even if ho docs not demonstrate a single evi dence of modesty as to Thomas W Lawson's value in the world. To begin with, he adnHts'that Mr. Lawson knows as mueh about "fren zied finance" as any man could pos aibly know, or perhaps he knows a lit tie more than any other man. He saye that whenever R kefeller and Roger wanted some man to do things they always called on him because of his superior knowledge. 5 However, the cutest explanation Mr. Lawson gives is of his advice to every body to sell his stocks, whatever the price, but to sell; his advice to, every one toj withdraw all his savings from the banks, trust and insurance compa nies, i'feven though such withdrawal must j cause a temporary business crash and the failure of many of the finan cial institutions of the country." He says jit would all be for the destruction of the "system." He says it would be a j terrible calamity, but the "sys tem,' or, in other words, what the world now recognizes as the objects of Lawson's jealous wrath and "frenzy," the organized corporations of which- he is not a part, must be made to feel his power'and must be destroyed. He says he would face the responsibility for all the suffering and all the hardship, but what would his "responsibility" be worth to the millions of people who would immediately know want add pov erty; if "Frenzied" Lawson were per mitted to earry out his scheme .of re vengej . ' H says: am well aware that the result of "the people's selling their stoeks and bonds. in concert, .and - the withdrawal , of their savings would bring a tremendous dftp in the price of shocks and "bonds. This is, what I am working for, but I am ' proceeding in such; a way that I-believe whea the crash comes the people will be free from their stocks and bonds." ' - How, well that all sounds. Who are the "people" of whom Mr. Lawson speaks f Who is Lawson tEat he should set forth a lot of small holders (which he indicates to be his meaning) and a lot of larger holders of stocks, and refer to the former, only, as "the peoplef' . , - - - Then, again, listen to what this man says: . "i am going to eaii upon ine Anferican people to withdraw their de poaitra savings at the proper time, and the proper time will be that time whea I am, absolutely sure they will s with draw them." This he calls a remedy, but when the remedy, as in this rase, is far worse than the disease, the doc tor should be prevented'by all manner of power in an attempt even to apply it. The time has come for reliable newspapers ' and mags sines to take a sensible stand againt farther discml nation, without proper comment, of Mr. Lawson's vagaries. :: &-"j No doubt hundreds of thousands of weak -minded . and weak-kneed small capitalists ff and " small stockholders throughout the country have swallowed Mr, Frenzied' Lawson's "frenzies accepting it all, believing it all, and are now only awaiting " Mr. Lawson s "call to arms" to rush ia frantically to the stock exchanges to sell their -docks after they Share withdrawn all their balances from the baaksonly to find ao prices offered for their stoeks, no money tiers with which they eaa be bought. Does any one believe the heavy . stock and bondholder eaa be killed and the small stockholder escape anmaimedf Let him think again if he does, for he has a second guess com ing. -f ' r . ( : -, ' - - ; ' TIMS TO FIGHT IT NOW. A petition is out which will be. sub mitted to the county court asking that body to endeavor to take some means -f preventing the absolute destruction jf ' all vegetable 1 growth 1 in what, through' the beneficence of our kindly government, has been , turned into a forest reserve, and which takes up a ;reat part of the eastern boundary 4t his county.. Last year Eastern Ore gon sheepmen, who pay not a dollar of '.axes in Marion county, who help in no way to support our county govera nent, to kecp.onr routes of communi cation in repair, when in our county drove their destructive bands down to the banks of the Breitenbush under icrmission from forest reserve officers, granted in conformance with the for est reserve law. The waters of the streams that lead into the Santiam riv er; were polluted, the surface of the earth became the resting place for the bodies of dead sheepj and a general complaint came from the settlers in md adjoining the forest reserve of the conditions which resulted from this Mliey. It is true 'that the kind fath erly government in carrying out of .his, policy under the direction of a. bureau established through the votes of congressmen and senators who know nothing of the conditions in this state, will soon permit a repetition of - last fear's conditions unless some sort of iteps are taken. How to get at these nds in order to prevent them is hard to tell, but that, they should be prc vnted few peopie in Marion county will question. For it is getting to be, 10 tlonbt, that we will not only have U fight the I bureaucracy, headed by Pinchot of Washington, but also the force back of the sheepmen of Vastern Oregon. ' THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. In view of the energetic action of ffiiers of the government in this state n their attempt to secure convictions if individuals for the purpose of de itrojring the "system" which baa been n vogue here for a great many years in the sale of public lands: in view f the same energetic, efforts to con vict individuals in the beef trust cases it Chicago, also with a view to de stroying that "system," the statement of President Roosevelt that he does not believe that individuals should be prosecuted for the purpose of destroy ing the 'f system " of rebates by rail- srays, etc., is rather astounding. In fact, it is very apt to cause many to magine that his position on this par ticular question has been taken with view to saving one man, and in the other cases with a view to destroying others. It makes a great deal of dif ference whose is the ox. . There is no doubt that the president is right in his statement that the pros ecution of individuals in these cases would do no good, but it would seem that the same stand should , have been taken in other cases where the viola tion of Ibe law has been technical only. In point of fact, there is a grave 'question whether any. technical violation of law should be considered as criminal. - In this particular case of Mr. Morton's, his conviction would simply ruin a highly respected and capable man and have no effect on the system The same thing may be aaid of a great many others of the easels in which the government appears today as prosecutor. Because the con viotion of one man and the letting of countless others go free who have been as guilty .shows more of persecution than it does of prosecution. It were far better -to wipe the slate and begin anew than to ruin a few men and fam ilies who have bad the respect and love of the people. A. SHE LEADS THEM AT.L. Max O'Rell, that gay French wit, lecturer and savant, so well known by his "Jonathan and his continent," as by all his other jworks, says ; that trench women are the only ones who can compare with the American wom an, and be gives the latter the place par excellence for her naturalness of manner, , her , charming conversational power, and her 1 generally attractive character. J Mr. O'Rell has only proven tne greatness of hia character of ob servation by ! this statement. ; The American girl, ? taking her. as -a great group, meeting her on Fifth avenue, or in the old Creole market, ia Talla hassee or Skaraokowa, attending church is the church of Angels, or at the inaugural ball, she is unique, dis- inet,f ditmgue. modest, brilliant. volatile,!; versatile, ; self -constrained. She ia the composite is the ideal worn- n, and Max O'Rell only joins the rest of the world in his 'love, his respeet and admiration for her. ' WISELY BX2X0YED. The president has doue a verv wiaa thing ia dismissing Herbert W. Bowen WZESLY 02ZG02I Z7ATZZZ1A1I. TSTDAT, JUT.rH YOU'RE THE LOSER If yon allow yourself to be persuaded to take "something else' "to place 01 Hostetter'a, on the plea that it is "just as good.ic For your health's sake we advise you. not to do it. The genuine IIOSTETTER'S STOMACH j OITICnS is what you want when you suffer from Foot Appetite, Headache, Kseplesauesa, pXndigestion, Dyspepsia, CosUyenees, Female Complaints, cramps, jsacaacAs or Malaria Fever and Ague. It al ways cures. Try tt and see. ; from ' the diplomatic service o this country." Any maa who is filled with petty jeafousies and spends his : time attacking his predecessor in offiee, who listens to all the scandals which hover round, the eapitol of a Spanish Ameri can republic, has no place in-the dip lomatie service of a country like this. While a certain friendship, or inti macy, if" you will, inust of necessity exist between any representative and the head of the government to which be is assigned, yet it is very, easy for one to. have too close a relationship with the men forming that ' govern ment. That Mr. Bowen listened more to Cipriano Castro and his body ofjing maladministration of the criminal Venezuelan politicians than he did to the necessities of American interests, is not to be doubted. Hsd Mr. Bowen spent as mueh of his time in attempt ing to protect American . interests as he did in his effort to destroy. Secre tsry Loomis. reputation, there would tut leaa talk of trouble between the fiery president of that oligarchy and the United States. CARE OF POSTOFTTSE FOB THE FEOP1E. The postofhee' department will re ject -from the mails as second class matter the ' freak" supplement of Sunday newspapers 'after September, 1905. It also intends to prevent the circulation of guessing contests or. oth er contests for prizes through the mails. I It would seem that the governmen tal protection of the people can 'be made to overstep the' proper bounds of duty, as a great many of these con tests hurt no one, acting simply to in crease the circulation of the paper ad vertising them, and serving to give zest and added interest to life. As for the "funnv." or "alleged" to be funny supplements,. many people will doubt the necessity of excluding tbem from. Ihe mails. They interest many people, and while perhaps they may not interest a man so high as Secre tary Certelyou,- he-might take some of those who have not .become so serious into consideration and still permit the circulation of those papers publishing these supplements through the mails. Notwithstanding the fact that there is a district east of Detroit, in this county, with an assessed valuation of $66,JOO, paying its taxes annually into the county treasury, the county court of recent years has paift bo attention thereto, and now the only-possible way of getting into that district is by go ing into another eoanty, and by train. There is not events trail leading from Niagara to' Detroit, nor from Detroit on "eastward. This is a matter which could well bold the attention of the county court for a f.ime, and while it baa been discussed many times in the past and nothing accomplished there with, this should be no bar to ts being considered and discussed again. Peti tions are now being circulated in all narts of the county, and it is on- dersttKwl will soon be presented to the people of Salem for their signatures, requesting the eonnty" court to make an appropriation of a sufficient amount of money to make a trail, at least from Niagara to Detroit, and on into the forest reserves to these private properties. This is of very"great impor tance, not only to the people who own these properties and who are now shut out from the rest of the world by rea son of lack of eommuifieation facili ties, but it is also of importance to Salem. : , . Dr. Withyeombe is right when he says the Republicans should hold a convention next spring and adopt a platform. If it were possible by means of this convention to satisfy the dis cordant elements of the party, and to suggest candidates to be voted for at the direct primary on whieh a great majority of the party might easily be concentrated, and if at that conven tioa the bickerings and the personal ities of a primary campaign could be waived, there would still be great hope for Republicans in Oregon. Yet while this .convention probably should not same and nominate, there no doubt would be ; a quiet ' understanding . be tween its members whieh could not fail to have an effect throughout the state. Even though -the matter? of a candi date . were . not discussed at all, the convention should be held for the pur pose of considering a platform on which ail eecrid join and be agreed. .With out: a( platform, an expression of pur pose by , party, one individual eandf- uate bears the relation to another can didate, as one, personality to . another personality. - . ' ;.":,.- The Lewiston (Me.) Journal says: The American protective system has won because it has stimulated inven- 3, 1SC3. tion and domestic competition and then helped workers and capitalists. When so perverted as to help capitalists and to bunco consumers, the remedy is not to upset a system that has enriched our people, ;but to remedy its" perver sion under trust conspiracies. It is important that we recall the. great pan ic we had in American industry under "tariff reform" in 1893-1S9& A short memory in this exigency will imperil our economic prosperity. ' Free traders would.be too glad to "divert attention from trust regulation to free trade.

That Oregon can produce the partic ularly French varieties of fruits mors perfectly and in greater abundance than can the native land itself is frankly admitted by George Dalidrt one of the heaviest dealers and pack ers of all kinds of fruits of Bordeaux France, who. stopped off in this. city this week for a day's visit while on a scientific observation tour of the Pa cific coast. Mr. Dalidet was accompa nied by A. U. Dclapenlia of New York City, and is American agent for Mr. Dalidet and other large fruit and com mission houses ia France, and the for mer made an especial trip to the Uni ted States to study the frn it-producing conditions and to compare thorn with those existent in France. While in the city the two gentle men were the guests 'of the Willam ette. Valley Prune Association, and, accompanied by W. T. Jcnks of tie firm of Ii. jS. Gile & Co., drove into the country (to inspect the orchards ia this vicinity. Mr. Dalidet went into raptures over what he saw, especially the Royal Anne cherry, distinctly a French fruit, and he declared tho Ore gon product the largest and most lus cious he had ever seen. He brought a branch of Che fruit to town with him and said be' would give $500 if ho could carry it back to France with him in its natural state, otherwise he feared they would not' believe his sto ries of them. Before leaving he ex acted a promise from Mr. Jcnks to ship him a an of the cherries pre served in spirits for exhibition pur pones. -".'... Mr. Dalidet is regarded as an emi nent authority upon fruit culture and he takes notes of conations wher ever he gor-s, together with all of the pictures be can procure, intending to publish a book getting forth his ob servations. He has already shipprd one trunk load of views and notes to New York City anil has another largo stock on j hand.

Upon complaint' of Josejdi Bartoz, Ross and Leslie Graber, agel respec tively 11 and 15 years, were arreted by Marshal Cornelius yesterday after noon ,and taken before City Recorder Moores, the boys being accused of gen eral incorrigibility. i-e boys live in the eastern part of the city and have figured in police court doings upon several different occasions. Their lat. est offense wys committed Monday af ternoon, when it is said the younger lad went: to the home of the complain ing witness for tne purpose of licking bis boy, who, however, proved too mucn for his -assailant. This brought the older Graber boy to the scene, who pro ceeded to double team on the Bartoa boy. John Brookman, an aged gentle man, saw thj fignt and went to sep arate the boys, and was knocked dow by Leslie -Graber. This general mix--brought about the arrest and after ex amiaing a few witnesses Judge Moore decided to take the matter under ad visement I for further investigation. The Graber boys have been a source of great; annoyance to the p&lice, as many complaints l-ave been msde m the past with refecuce to their con duct, by people residing in East Bslem. They are considered very bad boys, and it is probable that City Recorder Moores will decide to commit thera to the reform school. 0 Legal Blanks, Statesman Job Office.
