Sufficient time has not elapsed since
the decree has been issued against
Catholics retaining membership in the
secret orders to sea what effect it will
have on American citizans who are
members of the Odd Fellows, Knights
of Phythiss and Sons of Temperance
We believe in this emergency the
American spirit of Independence will
show itself in every portion Of the
country. There should be no objection
to a citizen because he is Catholic,
protestant, Mosle m or Buddhisr. The
high moral teaching OF Odd Fellow
ship or Pythianism cannot he inlmlcal
to any chursh organization, and the
secresy inculcated is only sufficient to
insure permanency and unity. These
orders will continue to prosper, and
the broad principles Of the fathsrhood
of God and brotherhood of man will
continue to be the actuating motive OF
the members,

OREGON.

in answer to question from CORES
pondent to state the time and plac'
when Benton was in favor of making
the Rocky Mountains our western
boundary line, pays the following
tribute to DR.. Marcus Whitman:
In 1926, in his place In the United
States senate, Mr.. Benton said:
"The ridge of the Rocky mountains
may be named as q convenient, natura
and everlasting boundary. Along thi
ridge the western limits of the repub
lie should be drawn. and the statue o
the tabled god Terminus should b.
erected on its highest peak, never tt
to be thrown down."
Years after, it is well known. Ben
ton changed his views of the grea,
west, but none doubted what his SEN
tlments had been and how his great
influence was exer:ed. Even as late
As 1s46 Senator Winthrop quoted the
sentiment of Benton and approved Of
ir, and declared that ''this country
would not be straitened for elbow
room in the west for a thousand years.
that neither the west nor the country
at large had any real interest in re-
tanning Oregon" This seemed to be
the sentiment common to American
statesmen clear up to the very date
that the patriotic, far seeing old mis-
sionary, DR.. Marcus Whitman, made
bis perilous winter journey from Ore
gon to Washington in the winter Of
1912 43.
He at that time found the secretary
of state, Daniel Webster, busy nego-
tiating with England for trade of
American interests In Oregon for the
fisheries of Newfoundland. In the
hight of the value of our possessions
upon the Pacific coast today, and what
they did 10 uphold and defend the flag
in the trying days of the war of tine
rebellion, DR.. Marcus Whitman in his
dress of the plains, standing upon bis
ffoz, feet befor. President Tyler and
Secretary Webster, pleading for Ore
gon, richly deserves preservation in
great national picture upon the walls
Of the national capitol. 1t was a
great event in national history. Great
because successful. Great because it
was timely. Had action been deferred
even for year little or nothing could
have been accomplished.
DR.. Whitman was told: "It is i'm
possible to cross the plains during the
winter" His reply was: II must go"
Ali history records no more romantic
and perilous joruney, accomplished
neither for money nor for political
power, nor for any expectation of re-
ward. Thus regarded, it calls for
honors which the old patriot and hero
has never yet received from the Ameri-
can people.
1t is q remarkable fact that from
1900 up to the lS43 the statesmen of
'he land had a very poor idea of the
Pacific holdings. From time to time
introduced bills for the
and protection of these
Instant possessions, but they were al

NEW TO-DAY.
It Is the Only Charge Made by the
Copeland Medical Institute.
Medicines and All Else Are Fur
niShed at This Charge of $5, and
This Is the Season for Curing
Diseases of Any Nature. Read
the Evidence Below.

The system of practieing medicine as inau-
gurated by the Copeland Medical Institute was
not intended to be.a money-making scheme,
but for the purpose of enabling people of small
means to obtain the same treatment that rich
people pay large sums of money for. These
physicians know that they can cure diseases
that strike at nine-tenths of our people, and
they know that by advertising this fact and
treating patients on grand scale they can
afford to charge q low fee to cover cost of serv-
ices and medicines-$5 q month-to all In
these hard times such a fee commends itself to
every one needing medical treatment. and
when the ability of the physicians is vouched
for every week by citizens of high standing
and unimpeachable veracity, who desire others
should know what can be done tor them, it
would seem that the man or woman who seeks
medical attention is wasting time and money
in not going to the Copeland Medical Institute
at once.

Oregon cannot be rated as foreign coun-
try. For a time men who hunted for hides
in the northern part OF the State smuggled
the hides into this City by the railroad,
but this became dangerous.
A short time ago the Game Warden of
Del Norte County astonished the people
by arresting man for selling deer hides.
AS result OF the risk of shipping by rail
and the watchfulness of the northern
Game Warden, the hide-hunters have been
taking their hides to Oregon and shipping
them from the towns on Goes Bay and the
Coquille River. For time they were sue
cessful, but now the Oregon boats as we'll
as trains are being watched.
The owners of the hides seized yester-
day are in peculiar position. In order to
recover their hides they will have to begin
legal proceedings which will establish the
ownership, and this will show, no doubt,
that the hides were purchased, which Of
itself is violation of the law.

the guns which were fired upon
Fort Sumter were echoing in the
ears of men, and while Breckenridge
and Benjamin and Jefferson Davis were
arguing speciously in the Senate against
the power of the Union to preserve itself
by preventing the withdrawal OF it's States.
Bakers genius arose upon sustaining wings
to the level of the occasion, and he de-
livered speech after speech of surprising
power and brilliancy. In one of these he
paid the following tribute to the "Liberty
of the Press" which has been seldom
equaled and never excelled by any orator
of any age:
The liberty of the press is the highest safe
guard to all free government. Ours could not
exist without it, 1t Is with US, nay, with all
men, like great, exulting and ahounding
river. 1t is fed by the dews of heaven which
gushes from the rill as it breaks from the
deep caverns OF the earth. 1t is fed
by a thousand affiuents that dash from
the mountain top to separate again into a
thousand bounteous and irrigating rills
around. On its broad bosom it bears a thou
sand barks. There genius spreads its purpling
sail There poetry dips its silver oar. There art,
invention, discovery, science, morality, re-
ligion may safely and securely float. 1t wan
ders through every land. 1t is a genial, cordial
source of thought and inspiration wherever it
touches whatever it surrounds. Sir, upon its
borders grow every flower OF grace and every
fruit of truth.
Among the several speeches which Col
onel Baker made during the brief period OF
his Senatorial service perhaps the most
powerful as we'll as most dramatic was his
reply to Breckinridge. While Baker had
been attending to his duties as Senator he
had also been engaged in organizing reg
iment in anticipation of the impending
conflict. 1t was known as the California
Regiment, and the soldiers were as
proud of their commander as he was
of them. One day upon his return to
Washington from drill, word was brought
to HIM that Breckinridge was making
great speech upon the "Insurrectlon and
Sedition Bill, which the Kentucky Sena-
tor opposed, but which Baker strongly ad-
vocated. Without waiting to remove his
uniform, Baker hurried TO the Senate
chamber, and heard enough of the speech
to fire his blood for reply. The speech
was impromptu, of course, but is declared
by those who heard it to have been the
happiest effort of his life. In rebuking
the Senator from Kentucky, he uttered the
following words:
These speeches of his, thrown broadcast over
the land what clear, distinct meaning have
they? Are they not intended to animate our
enemies? Sir, are they not words of brilliant,
polished treason even in the capital of our
Coniederacy? What would have been thought
if in another capital. in another republic, and

than the Senator from Kentucky, yet
with the Roman purple flowing from
his shoulders, had risen from his place sur

glory, and declared that advancing Hannibal

The melancholy news of that disastrous
engagement was wired to Washington, and
thence was flashed over the North
and West, causing everywhere feelings of
the profoundest sorrow. 1t was felt
that great light had gone ont in
the land, and when the body of
Baker was received at Washington
his fellow-Senators We'd in eulogy to do
him honor. His lifelong friend, James A.
McDougall, one of the Senators from Cali
fornla, paid an especially touching and
beautiful tribute to his genius. The body
OF the gifted man was then sent home to
California and buried upon Lone Noun
tain with all the honors which loving
people could bestow. His funeral Grafton
was pronounced by Thomas Starr King,
and was itself masterpiece of eloquent
euogy. There his body rests to this day
beneath neglected and moss-grown mar

EDWARD DICKINSON BAKER.
Born IN London, Feb 2, 1911.

silent cities" may see entombing grosser
clay. The condition of the plat where the
body of this illustrious orator, senator and
soldier lies is one of sad neglect. The
granite walls have decayed with age, and
time has withered the unwatered grass,
while the dews and cold fogs rolling in
from the ocean have marred and almost
backened what was once a snow-white
memorial table. giving sustenance to the
unsightly moss which threatens in time
to completely obliterate the chiseled in
scription.
The shapely but crumbling marble urns
are filled with pebbles and broken glass,
while the taole supports are far from solid,
making it possible for passing wind to
sway the slab from it's foundation and
dash it into fragments against the un-
steady stone coping around it.
And now when the landward breezes
come in from the boundless ocean to
grieve and sob among the splendid monu-
ments erected over the ashes of lesser men,
the spirit of that freedom which he wor-
SHIPPED with all the fervor of great soul
droops beside grave almost unmarked,
points reproachfully at the people of Cali

terrogatory of the dying warrior of the
Alleghanies, who is there to mourn for

REV. RABBI SCHWEITZ
Definite Information Received That He
Was the Man Who Swindled the
Railroads in the East.

Four charges of forgery are now regis
tered against Ph. Schweitz, the clerical
impostor, and the police say that several
more warrants will be sworn out against
him tomorrow. His preliminary examina-
ton on the four charges has been set for
Friday next.
The railroad people are taking quite an
interest in Schweitz, from the fact that he
has been able to pull the wool over the
eyes of 50 many of them, both here and in
the East.

dispatch from Secretary Caldwell of the
Western Lines Passenger Association,
giving description of the clergyman who

Deputy Fish and Game Commissioner
Davis yesterday seized four bundles OF
deer and elk hides that arrived on the
steamer Homer from Coos Bay, Or. These
hides were sent to local fur and hide
firm, which will be put to considerable
trouble to recover the property. Many
hides are sent to this City In violation of
the law, which prohibits the buying, sell
ing or offering this class of hides for sale.
Most of these goods are shipped in kegs or
closed packages, which prevents their being
discovered by the officials
Under the old law the possession of deer
hides was illegal, but the Supreme Court.
in the Humboldt County deer cases, de-
clared the law illegal, and the last Legis-

buying, selling or offering for sale any
deer hides, except the same be imported
from Alaska or some foreign country.

THE folly of those in authority, and the
crime against the citizens of municipality in
turning over the franchisesas a gift 10 corpo-
rations, can best be understood when the eorpo-
rations issue stock based on the value of the
franchise that has not cost the corporation a
cent, and levy tribute upon the donors of the
franchises to pay large dividends OIL the stock.
1t has been done in many instances, and will
again be done until the people call their serv-
anst to account in such manner as will convince
them that the people have finally been aroused
to their rights.
