Communications were presented by
the Rescue and Independence Fire
Companies requesting Council to
recognize each as a part of the Will
mingtOn Fire Department. Mr.
Reilly presented the communication
from the Rescue Company and Mr.
Spence presented the petition of the
Independence organization. The lat
ter agreed 70 maintain it's own appara-
tus until the next session of the Legis-
lature without any cost to the city,
provided Council would recommend the
company to the General Assembly for
an appropriation. The Rescue COM
munication was signed by number
of prominent citizens and business
men. Both petitions were referred to
the fire and law committees.
Before the election of city officers
took place Mr. Kane moved that a re-
cess be taken for a half hour to dis
cuss some important matters. The
motion was carried and the members
filed into the clerk of Councils office
as Mayor Charles ID. Bird was busily
engaged in his own apartment, tying
a nuptial knot. The mayors Office is
the room in which Council usually
holds its private conferences.
The word was quickly passed that
the slate was going to be broken, but
when the three Republican Councilmen
shortly after went into the room, this
idea was exploded. It then became
apparent that Council was discussing
the Board of Education matter.
Money For Education Allowed.

presented resolution empowering
City Treasurer Mammele to pay the
members of the Board of Education as

National Committeeman Meighcn Writes
His Views to the Wilimar Tribune
Editor Tribune: The comment of
the Tribune on Chairman Buffers dec
laration is to the point.
A thoroughbred populist cannot ac-
cept Roosevelt. / would sooner vote
for Mark Hanna as choice. There
would be no disappointment following
such an act. Hanna does not attempt
men, and says so. Roosevelt occupies
the same position, but attempts to inn
press the people otherwise. Yes, give
me Mark Hanna ahead of sham. re-
former.
But populists will not be forced to
choose between evils. They will ave
candidate of their own, who will
stand squarely upon the peoples par
ty platform.
The majority of the people Of the
country today indorse populist prin-
ciples. The only trouble just now
is, they are being deceived-many of
them-into the notion that they are
going to get populicm without peo-
ple's party.
Socialism is being doomed nowadays
by the plute papers. They hope by
encouraging an impossible movement
to kill off populism-a movement they
will know to be practical and possible.
Populists must not be fooled into de-
serting their organization for the So
cialist party because, as General Booth
of Salvation Army fame recently put
it "You can never have a celestial
condition when you do not have celes-
tial people," No, you must be wise
enough to spend your force fighting for
such reforms as are possible of at
tainment, and you will find hem only
in the platform of the peoples party.
These reforms must come. The peo-
pie must own the public utilities, cr
they will finally have revolution on
their hands.
I wish to congratulate you on the
ability and patriotism displayed in
each issue of the Tribune. / have no:
| had time to write at length, but wish
in word to indorse the statement oi
Senator Butler that the peoples party
must have candidate for presiden.

THE LATEST INSTANCE
The Power to Deny Paper Admittance to
tho Mails Should be In the Courts
Not in Clerks at Washington

The latest instance of totally unwar-
ranted interference with legitimate
second class publications has to dc
with the Nebraska Independent, OF
Lincoln. This is an established week
ly paper, perhaps the most important
and influential of the pouplist press.
During the spring its editor conceived
the idea of making of one OF its reg
ular issues a "Penry George edition,
and this idea was carried out in May.
The special issue differed from the
others only in being devoted to a dis
cussion by many writer's, of the Henry
George idea. Yet the postofiice de-
partment has taken steps which
threaten the existence of the paper.
AS we have heretofore freely discussed
this subject of the second class postal
censorship of the press (vol. v. PIP.
54S, 1876, I'll, 46S, 515, 54S), which is
apparently designed especially to enl-
barrass radical papers, it is not nee
essary to dwell upon these more re-
cent instances of its operation; but
this much at least should now be re-
peated, that there is an increasing
necessity for ta..ing away from the
postoffice department, and reposins
wholly in the courts, the question OF
the right, in individual cases, to sec
ond class mail accommodations.-The

Oregon City, Ore, June 2, 1903
Dear Friend: The first effect of the
referendum in Oregon is the eonpar
ative absence of charges of corruption
and partisanship in the legislature.
The newspapers have generally spok-
ell well of the last assembly or said
rothing, while for the previous ten
years at least, the rule has been that
some bitter things were printed about
the want Of honor and intelligence
among the legislators. Altogether tbs,

good deal of this to the D. l.. amend
ment.
Four referendum petitions were cir
culated; one against the appropriation
OF five hundred thousand dollars in
aid of the Lewis and Clark fair, and
this received $500 signatures. One
against the appropriation of one hun
dred and sixty-five thousand dollars
for state portage railway at The
lilies on the Columbia river, ann this
had 1000 signatures; the Portland
chamber of commerce charged the
railway companies with paying men
to circulate this petition. A petition
against the corporation license tax bill
was circulated by some mining cor
porations, but had only 1922 sigma
lures. A petition against the repeal
ing of an exemption from taxation of
$500 worth of household furniture was
in circulation about three weeks ami

that law must be very unpopular Ii
the people will not permit it to be
tried, when there is no reasonable
ground to believe 1t was corruptly

tives or for personal profit they will

commercial slavery and individual
freedom.
He said the time was ripe, IN his
opinion, for new declaration OF in
dependence. Thus, beginning with the
ccal monopoly, he gave history Of
the immense monopolies planned and
carried out by a few great railroad
companies. He spoke of the great
combinations that are now threaten
ing the freedom and prosperity of the
people. He said that the great trusts
have the assistance of the railroads IN
crushing out small competitors. "The
railroads" he said, must be brought
back to be common carriers" Their
Proper function is transportation
Then he took up the fight of the inter-
state commerce commission, and the
lcng efforts to pass the equal taxation
bill, and the failure of these efforts.
In giving the remedies for the great
evil, that of the influence of the rail-
road companies over state and n4-
tional government, he told of the fight
in his own stat to regulate the taxa
ton of railroad corporations, and to
elect state officials by direct vote. Dur
ing this part of the lecture frequent
applause greeted the speaker and
cri esof Good" "Go on!" followei
cries of Good" "Go ont" followed

And on this the Northwestern com
rented editorially as follows:
DANGEROUS TALK.
BY the report of Governor La Fol
lette's address at Winfield. Kas., print
ed in this paper, 1t will be seen that
our Quixotic governor has turned his
spear against another windmill. It is
now the trusts that are enslaving the
people and the "crime Of 1903" is
greater than the "crime of 1776(?)'
II is time, he says, for new declare
ton of independence" and 'the pres
ent day trusts are greater imposi
tion on the people than quartering TIL,
armies of King George upon them y
AS a true friend of our erratic gov
ernor, the Northwestern reads this
report of his speech with sincere re-
gret because such sentiments are un-
worthy of the governor of great
state like Wisconsin. Bad as the
trusts are. such incendiary talk can
do no good and the only result is to
add to the populistic craze which has
done so much in Kansas and Nehrask
tc bewilder the people and lead them
into insane and revolutionary prac-
| tices. If he was wrongly quoted thu
governor should promptly correct the
statement and if he really expressed
such sentiments, his friends are sorry
for him.
