Congress today will devote an hour
20 hearing eulogies of the late Thomas
II. Tongue. congressman for four
terms from the first Oregon district
who died suddenly during the past
month at his post OF duty
A public man writes the only endur-
ing eulogy Of himself by his works for
hts constituents. and that inscription
engraved ON the public mind by his
services will last for several genera
tionB.
Many beautiful things will be said
Of him by his colleagues, as Is the Gus
tom on the demise OF a member Of
that distinguished national legisIa-
ture, and they will be well deserved,
though some may be oyerdrawn.
Congressman Tongue was a man
who grew In stability and character
as the years rolled along. and this is
probably as high praise as can be Civ.
en- any man--that he shall endure the
corroson OF circumstance. and i'm.

public conflict
Mr.. Tongue was a man who did not
fawn after or cringe and cater 10
any man or group OF men, or even
10 public opinion or hostile influences
He rather relished a fight, and opposl.
ton spurred him to better effort.
Ills greatest services will never be

AN ORDERLY CITY.

A number of visitors. who noticed
such things, commented on the fact
that Salem is the most orderly town
for It's size in the state.
Even when the legislative lobbies
crowded the hotels to the utmost. one
policeman by day and one by night
kept perfect order and security.
There we're almost no pocket-pick'
lngs or burglaries recorded outside Of
the state house, and there the Salem
police have no jurisdiction.
The last night OF the senatorial con.
test when y train load of Portland
politicians swarmed into the city
peace and order prevailed.
Codes were stolen from the desks
OF the members and legislators had
small losIes Of reputation, and made
bah records, by no fault OF Salem.
Salem well deserves the sobriquet
of the city Of peace and order, OF the
homo Of security and good govern
ment.
II cannot be said that no vigilance
Us required. because Chief OF Police
Gibson aud his subordinates are mon
who will not permit criminals TO prey
on helpless citizens
The few Salem policemen are sum
cient for the protection Of the citi-
zens. because there Is very little
crime, and no encouragement for any
forms OF vice and crime by the mass
of our citizens.

GAUGAS ACTION BINDING
DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S WILL
ACT AS a UNIT.
This is Decided by n Big Majority
Senator COckrelI Opposes the Mo-
ton.

Washington, December 1.-THE DEM
i~ocratic caucus today, after considera-
bile opposition, passed a resolution de-
Clearing that caucus action of the party
hereafter should he binding aud thai
all members should abide by such eau
Gus action. The caucus will assemble
tomorrow, when II is expected the Pam
anna treaty will be taken up.
The resolution TO make the caucus
binding provides tina any action so en-
idorsed must ave a two-thirds vote.
The Panama canal situation was dis
icussed and it was developed that a SUI
icient number Of Democrats would
vote for the treaty to insure its ratifi-
cation. The Democrats will insist that
certain amendments be Incorporated in
1.-THE treaty, n that these amendments
will have the caucus approval.
The action OF the Democratic caucus
in making the future DEGREES Of the
caucus binding was not unanimous.
Senator Cockrell opposed the PROPOSE
ltion. saying hat during the past fifty
Years such a proceeding was not re-
lgarded as necessary by the Democratic
party
To this, reply was made that Demo
cratic party had been in power, but
very little during the past fifty years.
ISenator Stone, of Missouri, took issue
with his colleague and favored firm
Icaucus action. When the vote was
taken Senator Cockrell, on account OF
