Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because II
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in q pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
1907. package it is because he ha.
stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

FOR REGULATION
CONGRESS SHOULD CONTROL IN
TERsTATE COMMERCE.
so SAYS CARFIELD'S REPORT
Alleges that the Bureaus Of the Com
missioner Of Corporations Furnish
Means by Which People Engaged
in Interstate Business Can Be Con-
trolled.

WASl1INGTON-The first annual
report of the commissioner of corpora.
tons was submitted TO congress We'd
nesday by Commissioner Garfield He
says no satisfactory reform is to be
expected under the state system of
Incorporation; that the federal govern
ment has at it's command sufficient
power to remedy existing conditions
in its control of interstate commerce
He therefore suggests that congress
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of enacting
law for the legislative regulation of
interstate and foreign commerce un-
der a license of franchise, which in
general should provide as follows:
The granting of federal franchise
or license to engage in interstate com
merce.
THE imposition of all necessary re-
quirements as to corporate organiza-
tion and management as condition
of the retention of such franchises or
license.
THE prohibition of all corporations
and corporate agencies from engag
ing in interstate and foreign com!
merce without such federal franchise
or license.
The full protection of the grantees
Of such franchise or license who obey
the laws applicable thereto.
THE right to refuse or withdraw
such franchise or license in case of
violation of law, with appropriate right
of judicial appeal to prevent abuse OF
power by the administrative officers"
Commissioner Garfield says the
bureau under the direction of the sec
rotary of commerce and labor, affords
the appropriate machinery for the adj
ministration of such law.

RUSSIA ANXIOUS FOR TREATY
Hope United States viii Not Aban-
don Arbitration

ST. PETERSBURG Considerable
surprise is manifested at the foreign
office regarding the reports from Eng
lish sources representing the Wash
ington government as disposed to
abandon the RussanAmerican arbi-
tration treaty because of the char
acter of the notifications proposed by
Russia. Emperor Nicholas is sincerely
anxious TO conclude a treaty with the
United States. 1t is pointed out that
the notifications proposed are direct
ly modelled on the arbitration treaties
provided for by The Hague cOnveu-
ton, slightly simplifying the Anglo
French model. which practically con-
fines arbitration to the Interpretation
of treaties and juridical questions.
Russia has already negotiated similar
treaties with Belgium and Sweden
and Norway and desires to make
others with the larger European
powers.

WASHINGTON-The Post says:
Senator Mitchell and Representative
Binger Hartmann of Oregon left Wash
ington last night for Portland to APP
pear before the federal grand jury and
face charges which they have been
advised implicated them in Oregon
land frauds.
Both Senator Mitchell and Mr.. Har-
mann declare in most positive terms
that they are absolutely innocent and
have nothing to fear from returning
to Oregon. Both assert with equal
positiveness that the time has come
when this outrageous persecution
must stop" They will insist upon their
right to go before the grand jury and
make answer TO all charges that may
be made against them, confident that
they will be able to establish their
innocence. They expect to have
hearing on Saturday.
When asked last night why he had
decided to return to Portland at this
time after declining to go as a wit
ness when summoned by subpoenas a
week ago, Senator Mitchell said:
Il was advised yesterday by tele-
grams from Portland that it was re-
ported there that Puter, Watson ana
others of the gang had made confes-
sions duplicating me and that there
would be an effort made to indict me
and Hermann before the jury which
meets tomorrow. A week ago. when
! was called as a witness, | had no
intimation that it was claimed that
was implicated in any way and l did
not feel 1t my duty to go and sacrifice
public business. but the moment | was
advised that | was being attacked
personally | concluded | was justified
in sacrificing public business and
everything else to go and defend my
character against assaults that | know
to be without any foundation what
ever"
Senator Mitchell sent this telegram
Yesterday to District Attorney Hall
and Assistant Attorney General
Haney:
Il will be in Portland next Satur.
day. | demand thorough investigation
before grand jury or all charges, II
any, against me. | also demand right
to appear as witness before grand
jury"
Representative Hermann before
leaving made this statement:
Information having been received
that there was a probability that an
attempt would be made to involve
Senator Mitchell and myself in the
grand jury investigation as to land
frauds in Oregon, | believe it to be
my duty to proceed to Portland and
there ask the privilege of meeting any
charges which may be preferred"
Both Senator Mitchell and Mr.. Her
mann say, continues the Post, that e
movement against them has been d-
reced by Secretary Hitchcock and at
tribute it to his personal hostility to
ward them.

Attraction OF Afdnrtr.,.

People who believe in "afinities" ar
que that it is impossible that the per-
sons akin to one another should never
meet. Their theory. which no one'can
deny to be pretty, is that the power OF
thought must bring such persons to-
sether. Thoughts, they say. wander
through space, like electric messages,
and IL we think about a-person we
shall affect that person in some way.

Nebraska Pension Bills.

WASHINGTON-Every member of
the Nebraska delegation has intro
duced many pension bills during the
congress which will close March 4
with satisfactory results The few
bills which have passed this month
were some of the holdovers introduced
last winter. 1t is safe to predict that
none Of the pension bills introduced
this month will pass both houses
this session. and in that case every
bin introduced this session must be
reintroduced next winter. Possibly a
verv meritorious bill NAV succeed.
