The Turks have invariably been the az

have been invariably received compelling
them to stop just short of the complete

FORM.

Washington, April 2G-The Republi
cans are more and more disposed to stake
their chances for future success upon the
tariff bill. They are satisfied if the bill
is instrumental in improving conditions
1T shall alone gain the credit According
TO some OF the leaders, the present legis-
lation is to be the final and supreme test
of protection as measure of domestic
benefit. They believe in the efficacy of the
proposed legislation, and even if thev
lose the next Congressional elections. they
hold that before the camraign of 1909
the effect of their bill will have justified
the faith they place in it.
While there is considerable feeling on
the Republican side of the House in favor
of the passage of the bankruptcy bill. the
influence of the Speaker ard the leaders
who are in accord with his views seems
to have been sufficiently powerful to
cause II material abatement in that re-
spect. The probability now is, therefore.
that any pressure of consequence i'm favor
OF action OH the bill must come from the
Democratic side and cannot he made
effective.
1t is anticipated 10y the Democrats that
in the event of Republican defeat in the
next Congressional elections the Repub-
llcans VIII not endeavor to make the tariff
issue paramount in the Presidential cam
paign to follow, but may increase their
Efforts to secure international bimetallism
ana general plan of currency reform
which can aid them in the fight 1t Is
surmised tina. the apparent UNIV illinpness
oil the Republicans to attempt any cur
rency Legislation for some time to come
Is due to their anxiety to have some other
question to bolster up their tariff conten-
ton in case their bill fails. While there
can be no hurry over the matter. from
the nature of the circumstances, it is evil
dent the movement for n monetary com
mission will not be allowed to grow cold.
The course pursued by Mr.. Bailey and
his followers in the House has been criti.
eised by Senator Jones, Senator Morgan
and other Democrats of the Senate l,ut.
they are in thorough accord with the
House Democratic leader in their willing
ness to accept the challenge of the Repub.
llcans and make the next fight before the
people upon the tariff question alone.
The Democratic policy of both houses of
Congress will probably he to quietly await
developments and prepare for n fight in
1913 upon the Republican tariff doctrine.
Mr. Bailey has declared for those DEM
ocrats he represents in the House that, no
matter what Efforts are made by politi-
clans, the question of paramount import
ance to the country is whether there is to
be n protective tariff or one for revenue
only, ana that, no matter what the plat
form declarations are, it is this issue that
will be next upon trial. The course ad-
vocated by Mr.. Bailey should have the
effect of harmoniziEg the Democratic
party in the next campaign, and it will be
fortunate both for the party and the
country if nothing is permitted to divert
attention from the tariff Question.

IN MEMORIAM.

Many Portland people will recall this
bright and lovable young man, who left
cur city about eight years ago to seek
for health-that sad will-o'- the wisp
chase that has led on so many doomed to
an early death-in the milder climate of
california. From his mothers family,
it seems he had inherited much of in
tellectual eleverness, of pleasantness and
grace OF manner-indeed, any of those
qualities that go to make enes person
ality interesting to ones fellow men.
All over this state were well known the
distinguished talents, the rare charm and
The old-fashioned courtesy of his grand
ather, the Hon. Bion: Bradbury; while
The executive power, the ready wit and
social tact of his grandmother were hard
ly less widely recognized. The grandson
himself had quick, bright, intellect, n
keen sense of humor, d genuine love OF
good books and reading-a taste which
served him we'll through all his long and
most distressing illness. Through this
hard-fought struggle for life, even un-
der the gentler conditions OF that far
western climate, amid the wealth OF
flowers and luxuriant beauty, to read of
which was, to our stern New England
thought. like some wild tale of the
Arabian Nights; so marvellous the con-
rast to our bleak wintry airs and Arctic
nows-through 'the long wear of pain -
always soothed by the tenderness of
wife and mother and loving friends-the
poor invalid bore all most patiently and
sweetly, with courage that makes much
of our conventional heroism seem poor
There was assuredly in him something
unusually lovable, something of genius
for loving and being loved, for he had
many friends, and he was devoted to
them. One old Portland companion
writes: ''His good nature, his bright and
pleasant disposition. the energy and spir-
1t with which he entered into everything,
made him favorite with the boys, and
he will be greatly missed by all those
who knew him. ;"
That energy of mind and heart threw
him impuIsiyely into each new enterprise
or seeming opportunity-fro which,
alas, the weakness of the delicate physi-
que must too often drag him away, just
as ne seemed upon bhe engrance ol 1alc
career. But from each new blow of fate
he rebounded, and stood patient and
cheerful as before.
The sheath was too fine for the keen
sword; the poor body not strong enough
to hold the larger spirit. After long ILL.,
ness, marked by all those painful alter
natives of hope and discouragement Incl
dent to the disease, hopes, so much sad
der than despair, of an impossible recov-

ties of kinship and affection, to mourn
his going from us.
