SELF-MADE BYRD.

Chancellor Byrd is receiving some
very complimentary notices and res
OlutiOns at the hands of his old CON
stituency whom he has been serving
the past few years and no doubt the
judge appreciates all that is said about
him. He is not only capable of such
things, but he is built that way and
has heart III him as big as barn
door. By the way Judge Byrd is a
self-made man and he did fine job

he felt assured that some other parts
of speech he used during the day,
especially while blowing in new
ground, were adjectives that carried
with them the strongest force The
judge will make a fine congressman as
he has made fine chancellor, but as
railroad constructor he is not a
blooming success. He has not vet

MANGLED BY TRAIN
KNOCKED OFF THE TRAIN BY AN Ex-
PRESS TRUCK.
A Mississippian Meets With Fear
full Accident at Union Depot.

V. B. Eaton a bookkeeper, 80
years old, unmarried, whose home is
in Hattiesburg, Miss, fell while try
ing to catch the Texas IL Pacific
passenger train that left at 4 go yes
terday and rolled under the train,
where his left arm was severed from
his body, his left leg broken in two
places, and numerous wounds in
f1icted on his head. He may die as
the result of his injuries.
Eaton has been working as book
keeper at the Ball saw mill, about
ten miles from here in Grant Parish.
A few days ago he secured position
paying him $I00 per month ut Tex
arkana, Texas, and came to. this city
today to leave for that point. He
arrived at the depot late, and had
just finished checking his trunk as
the train pulled out. He ran to
catch the middle coach. A truck
was standing on the platform close
to the train. AS Eaton swung for
the train he struck the truck, which
broke his hold on the handrail, He
fell, and rolled under the train. with
his arm thrown out directly under
the wheels. 1t was cut off clean at
the shoulder. Just how the other
injuries were received is not known
on account of the cloud of dust
which arose. When he was taken
from under the train, in addition to
the arm being cut off it was found
that his left leg had been broken at
the ankle and just above the knee.
There were also Il number of con-
tuSions upon his head.
He was stunned by the shock, but
recovered consciousness in a short
time, and told who he was.
The man stated that he was un-
married, but had relatives living in
Hattiesburg, Miss. A telegram was
sent later to that place.
Owing to the nature Of the wounds
the doctors were unable to state
definitely whether the man would
live or die. but owing to the fact
that but a small amount of blood was
lost, the mans case is not as bad as
cases of this nature usually are. The
left leg may have to be amputated.

was was resting easily and the pysi-
clans attending HIM expressed the

and which she is selling at two dol

gun used at the beginning of the war
and in the boil Of the spoon is the
picture of Beauvoir with these words

A convict who is blind and serving
a sentence i'll the penitentiary wants
a pardon and he should have it. He
cannot again violate the laws of the
state to any great extent. He cannot
see how to shoot man and thus com
NIT murder, or run off with the funds
of the county treasury or shoot craps
or whip his mother in-law. He
might possibly be able to run a blind
tiger, but he would be doing no more
than thousands of others in the state
are doing, except that the tigers are
not blind. The governor should
pardon this blind convict at once.
The governor knows himself how it is
to be blind on some subjects. If he
does not the people do. Therefore he
should consider the appeal of this
blind convict with the greatest con-
sideration and give him pardon be-
fore breakfast.

In its reckless determination to
further enrich the tariff barons Of the
east-perhaps as the price Of its own
existence-the republican party has
not hesitated at overriding the con-

ers Of that party operated under
cover, hoodwinking the people with
the cry Of protection to infant indus
tries and TO American labor; but,
now, driven to the wall as to those
fallacies they raise the black-fag Of
protection for projections sake and
openly tell us that the determination
has been arrived at to continue loot.

raised in this country but for the
workings Of protection Concentra-
ton of wealth has builded up a class

for more; and, worse than that, are
aping the customs Of monarchies and
knocking for admission at the doors
of royalty. Purse-proud through this
unjust and dishonest accumulation Of
wealth and blinded to all sense Of
patriotism, these favored classes scorn

Because Gen. Miles testified ito
truth before a congressional inyestiga-

which be had been subpoenaed, the
president is seeking an avenue thro'
which to relieve him Of his commits

destined to learn that suppression of
truth will not be tolerated by the
American people-at least it will not
be condoned. 1t seems that the at
tempt of Mr. Roosevelt to bride the
tongue of justice in the Schley case
was but a beginning only to end with
humiliation to every officer in the
navy and army who will not become

pied the presidential chair since the
close Of the civil war.

LOWERING THE TARIFF WALL.
~ H.nrrr W. sOorr- Editor Of the oregonIan.

BY HARVEY W. SCOTT, Editor of the oregOnan.
Least possible legal interference with the course of industry and o
commerce, least possible obstruction by law, Isl the policy suggested by
reason and approved by experience.
Every interference by government is in one way or another an
obstruction, even when the avowed object is to aid industry and COM
merce, because such undertaking disturtS the course OF things IN nat
unl movement; and, while it may give advantage in certain directions
it will interpoe checks upon the natural movement in others. Inc
freest possible movement, on lines naturally offered to the production
and exchange, is the sound principle, Its not a sound principle to
use the power Of the government to force one industry, or set Of indus
tries, to carry others, or to establish others. All the protection"
that one sort gets another sort must pay for.
1t is inevitable that the United States should move in the drc-
ton Of freer trade. Development within and advancement into the
outer world are making this course a necessity. Hence the call for
reciprocity, :" which, however, is only a first step. IT. a sign OF un-
rest, indeed, rather than a step; for even the proposal to take it pre-
cipiates an acute conflict between protected and unprotected interests
and the question is asked whether cruder products and the materials
of manufacture from foreign countries are to be let in free of duty
while finished goods are still to have the favor of a protected tariff.
Thus reciprocity, so called, brings up that old burning question of our
tariff debates.
The citadel of the protectionist position Of the West and espec-
tally Of the Pacific States, is wool; but a strong outwork is fruit
Large numberso Of our people feel that these interests must be taken
care Of, - and for this reason they will support a general protective
policy to a far greater extent than they would be inclined otherwise to
do. The sheep and wool interest is of high importance in our arid
and mountain regions, where there is little else; and the yastness and
variety Of our fruit production, and the still greater possibilities of it,
up and down our Coast States from British Columbia to Mexico, bring
this interest into a position Of the first rank in the demand for
protection.
But the policy of protection will ultimately strange itself The
domestic market will not suffice: the foreign market must be entered;
and yet we shall not be able to get the benefits of the foreign market
without free Or frer exchange. We cannot continue to sell commod
tiles abroad in large quantities unless we consent to take commodities
from abroad in return.
Here in the Pacific States we want to trade with Asia, but we
cannot have it on an extensive scale unless we take Asiatc commod-
titles; nor can we build up a trade with the Philippine Islands, or even
keep the Philippine Islands, unless we allow the introduction Of their
products into the United States on terms free. or substantially free.
