DISCUSSING PANAMA TREATY.

It begins to look as if the admin
plain sailing in the Panama treaty
matter. The debate in the senate has
taken a pretty serious turn Accord
ing TO the position taken by those
senators who oppose the action of the
president there was nc treaty making
power in existence in Panama when
that country ratified the agreement
with the United States. The debate
has gotten beyond the question of
propriety in the undue haste with
which the revolution was brought
about and the new government recog-
nized by ours. Now the more serious
question is whether there was at the
time of the ratification of the treaty
any one in authority in Panama with
the power to make a treaty with any
other country. 1t is evident that the
senate is not inclined to pass the mat
ter over without careful considera-
ton, and before it ratifies the treaty
with the new republic it will want
more information as to events lead
ing up to the revolution and recog-
milton of the new government. There
are hints of a big deal in the grant
ing of the canal franchise; that the
representative of the government of
Panama has other than mere patriotic
motives in fastening the conclusion
of the canal treaty. Some of the
senators want to know what personal
interests Mr.. Bunau-Varilla has IN
the canal scheme. Before the presi-
dent gets the senate to ratify his
hastily negotiated treaty he will have
to give that body more information
on the subject than he has yet seen
fit TO lay before it.

Mr.. Roosevelt is downed by nis
party friends in the house of represent
tives. The administration is very much
opposed to a congressional investigation
of the postoffice frauds. The u
though decided to call upon the post
master genera to furnish one OF lis
committees with all of the papers IN
the case. This though may be =
scheme to prevent an investigation by
the house. 1t may be the intention Of
the majority to get these papers be-
fore the committee and there let them
lie securely hid away from public view.
The strict party vote by which Mr..
Williams proposition was defeated
asking that the information be furn-
ished The house instead of one of its
committees would indicate that some
such dodge as this is contemplated.

THE NORTHERN SECURITIES CO.

The Northern Securities COMPANY
has occupied much OF the attention Of
h public in the last few years. The
fact that the federal supreme court last
week heard argument in the case,
brought to declare it an illegal corpor-
alton. la revived interest in the mat
ter. The suit now pending on appeal
III that court is entitled The Northern
States" although the corporation is the
defendant in the case as originally in
stituted. The decision in the lower
court was against the company and it
took the case to the appellate court on a
writ of error, thus becoming the plain
tiff in the appeal, as is the practice IN
the federal courts. The following edi-
torial from The Evening News, OF
Charlotte. explains the natur of this
litigation. We give it to our readers
because We suppose there are many of
them who do not understand exactly
what the suit is for and Of how great
Importance Il decision for the govern
ment on this appeal would be. This IS
a test case involving the constitutional
ity and effectiveness of the law prohib-
iting he consolidation of rival and COM
petIng Interstate railway lines. The
News gives the case in the following:
The Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific railroads have been for
a long time rival roads and competi-
tors for the traffic in the territory
through which they pass. The North
ern Securities Company was a corpor-
alton chartered under the accommo
dating laws of the State of New Jer-
seY, TO consolidate the two roads into
one. This merger, as it is allied WAS
probably the most gigantic scheme
which the fertile brain of Pierpont
Morgan ever conceived. The plan in
brief was for the Northern Securities
Company to own both roads through
holding a majority of the stock of each
and thus control them under plans OF
harmony rather than of strife. The
capitalization of course was enormous.
No great ~financier eve makes the mis-
take Of capitaliZing on too small a basis.
1t was argued that the sitting of COM
would result in larger earnings
and the new was capitalized
at q larger capitalization than both
the railroads., whose stock was p o.
ably already watered up to the limit.
But here the State of Minnesota To-
tervened. Minnesota had the strange
idea that competition would be better
her interests than combination
would. The United States court before
which the ase was first tried, decided
against the Constitutionality of the
merger. The case is now before the Su-
court and Attorney General
is making a powerful plea for the
unfolding of the lower court. 1t is
really 4 test case of the utmost impoc-
,anca"

a letter from the confederate veteran.
The family has moved to Tallapoosa,

the ripe old age of ninety four years.
What q joyous Christmas this will he

able to have a family reunion, but the
knowledge that the son who was sup

will bring joy and gladness to the
heart OF the old man.

on a retaliatory referendum against

MR.. .GATcH's FRIENDS LOYAL
Marion county Republicans had a
candidate for congress before the Eu
gene Republican convention whom
they would have been glad to have
seen nominated.
They came home feeling disappoint.
ed. but they are not sulking. or disloy-
al to the nominee in this campaign.
They were out in full force at the
rally given Binger Hermann at Salem,
by all odds the warmest reception he
has received anywhere.
Mr.. Catch is unable to take any part
in the campaign on account Of his
health-he is taking a vacation in
Jackson county to recuperate.
But the returns from his precinct
will show that he and his followers
have not the slightest intention OF
knitting Binger Hermann.
Il would be political suicide for any
man having aspirations to party hon
ors in state or district affairs to do
otherwise.
Mr. Catch has a record and reputa-
tlon for being the last to throw down
the regular nominee, especially after
securing the nomination as fairly as
Mr.. Hermann did secure II.

REAMES
TALKS AT
LEBANON
His Argument Ran
Along the Old Free
trade Lines
The Crowd did Not 60 Wild
With EnthuiaSm and it IS
not Thought he Gained
. Votes

The Reams meeting, held at this
place Monday night was somewhat of
frost on the tender Democratic en-.
thusiasm, just beginning to bud. The
meeting was not called to order until
$3.50. by which time there was a fair
sized crowd in attendance. The open
ing address was made by Hon. M. A.
Miller. VINO spoke briefly concerning
ever increasing taxation. He thought
an income tax good thing.
Hon. A. Il. Reames. Democratic
nominee for congress, was then intro
duced by 5. NJ. Garland. Mr.. Reames
spoke at some length on the tariff
question. using the old free trade ar
gument that the tariff is a tax on the
consumer and is in effect wall
around the United States which keeps
out prosperity.
He undertook to tell the people that
the consumer paid the tarif and TO
illustrates his point said that when hay
was shipped from Oregon 10 the Phil.
ppines that II must pay a duty before
entering the islands and that this
tariff reduced the price received by
Oregon farmers for their hay This
explanation may be, satisfactory TO
Mr.. Reames. but most of his hearers
thought chat II proved directly the op.
posite OF his contention He con
tinued by saying that this monster
tariff doubles the price of the coat
on your back" This didn't go down
much better than the hay" for most
people are satisfied when they can get
a good all.wool suit for $40. especially
during Republican prosperity when
they have the money He then talked
trusts for a short time and com.
mended the action taken by President
Roosevelt to enforce antitrust laws
but said Hermann did not believe in
Roosevelt's policy and in substance
said elect me to congress II you wish
to endorse Roosevelt. or course the
voters will agree CD that the way TO
endorse Republican president is to
elect Democrats 10 congress
After he had finished the tariff and
trusts he proceeded TO give "the other
side Of the land question" which con
sisted OF some bare statements that
more than thirty years ago Hermann
resigned from the land office at Rose
burg before the time for which he was
appointed had expired and that he al
so resigned from the general land Of
fee last winter He did not attempt
to give any reasons but tried TO leave
the inference that something was
wrong
He also told few pretty good
stories that brought out some feeble
applause-a thing that had been con
spicuous by its absence during the
greater part OF his remarks.
To be fair TO Mr.. Reames we must
say that he is man OF pleasing ap-
pearance and a good talker, although
no more able a speaker than any OF a
half dozen of the leading Democrats
of this county He made no votes in
Lehanon.-Lebanon Criterion.

great protection in case the valleys are
