EVIDENTLY OWNED STILL.

Washington. March 27.-In the house
this morning Richardson, the democratic
leader offered resolution calling for the
appointment of committee TO nvesti-
gate the charge made by Captain Won
Christmas agent of the Danish govern
ment. who claims to have made secret re-
port to his government, setting forth that
he is entitled TO 10 per cent or altogether
about half million dollars of the price
to be paid by this government for the
Danish West Indies, part of which was
used In bribing members of the United
States congress and other citizens and for
substituting the American press. The
resolution was adopted despite the OBJ
Jections by Payne, the republican leader.
This calls to mind the charge
made three years ago The Danish
agents, while voyaging to our shores
to carry on former negotiations for
the sale of the islands, were met in
mid-ocean by H. H. Rogers, the
Standard Oil Acknowledgement Cop
per Co., heller and official. Rogers
boarded the vessel carrying the Dan
ish Embassy and requested that the
Standard Oil Co. be permitted to act AS
middle man in the deal and receive
proper commission. The Danes
deliberately declined and Rogers in
towering rage said, 1--WE (theStand-
ard Oil Co.. control 16 United States
Senators, and we will show you that
you can make no deal with the United
States government without our assist
auce. On arriving at New York
the embassy gave the incident away
to a leading paper of the great city.
There was a demand that an investi- \
CATION be made to ascertain what
sixteen senators were owned by the
Standard Oil Company, but, with the
of the controlled senators.
the business was suppressed and the
public has never been enlightened. |
But the sale fell through, according
to Rogers threat, and the Danish
people were no doubt duly impressed
and knew how to go at it this trip to
pull the trade of in good shape.
The Rogers incident is almost
guarantee that all charges are true in
this instance, however lightly they
will be laughed off by those who
jerk the string.

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE

The proposition of reciprocity in
trade matters with Cuba is strictly a
democratic measure and is as near q
free trade proposition as the party
can be charged with The principal
is correct, but the purpose is in line
with majority legislation of the past
forty years, and is as base and mis-
leading a measure for alleged public
benefit as was ever devised. 1t Is
intended solely for the advancement
of the interests of the sugar trust.
and in order to do this the whole
force of the present administration
is being used to paralyze new Amer
lean agricultural industry, and take
money from the national treasury
and give it to a foreign people for no
consideration, simply to advance the
interests of class of land grabbers
and trust politicians-al all eminent
campaign fund contributors. You
will have to take your medicine, but
vol don't have to say Won like it.

TRANS-CONTINENTAL ROADS.


The latest proposition for sddi-
tional trans continental Transports
ton is announced, and will connect
Denver and Salt Lake. The route,
as specified in general way, by the
Denver and Salt Lake papers, is prob
ably the very best obtainable from
the plains country of Nebraska and
Kansas west. OF this fact there is
hardly doubt, and why it was not
adopted by the Union Pacific is to
this day one of the unsolved mys-
teries of railway location and con-
struction 1t is far enough south to
avoid all the disagreeable baroness
of western Wyoming, and passes
through country of immense and
varied resources and many natural
attractions. That the new enterprise
will be prosecuted vigorously seems
assured, and with such Denver back
ing as Walter Cheseman, d H. Moi
fat and other parties of well known
local financial ability, and who are
not given to chimerical undertakings.
The successful financing of this EN-
terprise, in territory where more
or less competition must be met. is
certainly strong argument in favor
of the Eureka x Eastern, road that
will pass through a territory far more
extensive, and with no present ade-
quate railway facilities, in Idaho,
Oregon and California, and with a
western terminal on the Pacific where
exists harbor facilities equal to all
possible demands for foreign and
domestic commerce. AS matter of
fact, the line adopted by the Eureka
q Eastern penetrates the most valu-
able unoccupied field for railway en-
terprise now open for occupation in
the United States, and the develop
ment that Will follow construction
will surpass any similar advancement
of former times. A geographical
feature worth noticing is that a
straight line drawn from Butte, Mon
tana, to Eureka, California, passes
direct through Weiser. The mathe-
NAUTICAL definition of a straight line
is, the shortest distance between two
points land in view of this and many
other favorable conditions, all nat
ural, the prospect is almost certain
that Weiser in the near future will be
called upon to meet greater respon
siblities as an important point on
two transcontinental roads.

Mr.. Roosevelt, president, of the
United States by accident, has an
nounced in advance that he will veto
the irrigation bill, if passed in its
present form. No doubt he has had
a bunch that deferred action IS
needed in order TO allow the privil
eyed gang to get in and secure the
desirable territory, on the most fa-
vorable terms after which it can be
reclaimed at public expense. A trust
for this purpose is no doubt IN order.
Scratch any of these alleged acts in
public interest, and as soon as the
epidermis is removed, the coarse
texture of a shiny trust saurian is
visible.

PREM EDIATED CRIME.

Lord Roberts to Lord Lansdowne

IN MEM0RIAM.

There is something rather out of
the usual in the proposition of Gen
eral Miles to inveigle the rebellious
Fillipinos into submission by the use
of diplomatic methods. The mill
tary members of the National Auat
omy are not supposed to think:
There's not to reason why,
There's but to do and die. I"
No doubt if the suggestion had
been offered by Colonial Gov
ernor Taft, it would have met
with favorable consideration, as be-
ing means to prolong the disturb
ance and provide sinecure positions,
of no earthly use except as aids to
dispose of the treasury surplus that
threatens to burst the confines of
the national treasure vaults land that
should have remained in the hands
of the people.)
But, coming from Miles, the sug-
gestion was of no more force than
the acts of the Peace Commission
devised by the Gar of Russia as
preliminary to his invasion of China.
But the people of the United States
should need no surer guarantee of
his honesty of purpose and military
ability, than is given by the studied
and persistent persecution, instigated
by Mckinley, continued by Roose-
welt, and carried out in detail bv
Root and Chief Martinez Corbin and
other tin soldiers. All that remains

Washington dispatches are to the
effect that a provision for the pur.
chase of the friars' land in the Phil
ipplnes will be made in the bill pro-
viding code of civil government
for that archipelago, which is now
being prepared by the senate com
mittee on the Philippines. The pur
chase is to be made through the is

not expected to exceed $1,000, 900.
The committee has so far reached
no conclusion regarding franchises.
Of course with surplus of about
half a billion in the treasury no
funds are available, and bond issue
that will fix permanent tax on some
one somewhere is always in order
for favorable consideration by the
majority party.

ROADS TO SUCCESS.

Salt Lake and Denver papers are
not backward in admitting that to be
fully prosperous, and to attain the
growth, natural to points of such i'm
portance, they must have direct lines
of railroad. Branch or stub lines
are fatal to any extensive develop
ment, and while towns so situated as
to be beyond the possibilities of main
line benefits may attain limited de-
gree of Importance commercially and
otherwise they eventually drop into
that slow decline that presages com
mercial death, but leaves, as a re-
ward, a social condition as beautiful
to contemplate as the graceful coming
of old age to lovely woman.
