ceived at the hands of the plaintiff and
others on June 23, 1904.
Plaintiff mas resided in Gervais for

above defendant, in company with sew.
erar confederates and abetters, not all
of whom are known to plaintiff, and,
being actuated with malice and i'll
will towards plaintiff, accosted him
upon the public streets of the city of
Gervais, in front of his premises there
in, and said to Plaintiff in an angry
and threatening manner Come on,
and go with us. You have got to get
out of tow"
That the plaintiff was on his way to
the Southern Pacific depot in that
place at the time, and proceeded on
mis- way, but was followed by defend
ant and others. who repeated his de
mands, and led his companions in an
assault on plaintiff, knocking him
down, beating him and kicking MIN in
the side, fracturing several ribs, and
injurlng him internally. That he was
carried by force to the city Jail, and
there confined for 16 hours without
food or water or medical attendance,
and that none Of the parties were Off.
GERS of the law, or acting by or under
authority Of law"
The defendant is a merchant of Ger.
vais, and has considerable property.

this change will give him over double

One of the substantial improve.
ments of the year for Salem is Just
completed, and, Like many other such
evidences of substantial growth, it has
come to completion so quietly that few
people realize that Salem has a new
$25, 900 bAick block in its midst Ref.
erence is made to the handsome new
Breyman building, just completed on
the site of the old t~umble-down shacks
so long in evidence adjoining the old
White Corner. The first room to be
occupied is the main floor and base
ment. adjoining their former place
of business, tine White Corner store,
by j. L. Stockton & Co. This gives
that firm a magnificent double store,
ticent to accommodate full stocks.
Their show windows are also CORE
Spondently increased, a most desirable
consideration in these days of window
displays. Their new office and cash.
ier's desk is situated in the rear of
the new building and under a skylight,
where business can be transacted in
the light of day. They have one of
the most efficient system of cash car
riers in the city, and, withal a decid-
eddy up-to-date place. New furniture
has also helped to brighten up the
appearance, such as show cases, racks
and stands for displaying goods. The
capacity of their store is now practic-
ally doubled, and the better facilities
for handling goods also greatly in
crease their ability to serve the trade.
The new store is also supplied with
steam heat, aad many other modern
conveniences. The firm is now en-
abled to carry a large reserve stock,
and thus to buy to better advantage.
They are also introducing a stock of
higher grade lines than they have
been able to carry in the past, thus
enabling them to meet the demand of
the enlarged and better trade that is
coming to Salem stores. They are
planning for the heaviest fall business
ever transacted here, and will prob
ably have no reason to regret their
heavy purchases. Every department
of the store is under the direct super.
vision of the ~proprietors, and only the
best help %obtainable is employed in
each of the branches. Thus Stockton
& Co. will be better able than ever to
serve their trade. The main floor of
the new store will be occupied chiefly
with mems clothing. shoes and fur
nishing goods, the stock having been

THE IMPERIALIsrIc SPIRIT.

Clearly members of Mr.. Roosevelt's
cabinet have become infected with inn
perialism. Their association with the
chief executive has made them feel
they are not amenable to the Iaw-that
they are above the law. Instead of
setting an example for the people IN
the matter of showing respect for the
law and its officers they are quick TO
resent efforts to make them respond
TO the laws demands.
In our dispatches yesterday from Chi
cago it was stated that when con-
stable served a summons on Postmas-
ter General Payne in that city on Tues
Gay the latter told the constable with
show of anger that he would not
obey it. and when the usual fee was
rendered him he threw the money in
the constable's face, thus showing his
contempt for the law and its represen-
tative.
What are the American people to
infer from such actions on the part
of a member of the administration?
Can they draw any other conclusion
than that the Postmaster General
takes the position that the law is for
the common people and not for such
high officials of the government as he
Is? They will probably think he mas
been reading Mr.. RooseYelts speeches,
especially the one in which appears
the adage speak softly and carry
big stick"
If the constable had been rude to the
Postmaster General there would have
been some excuse for his conduct, but
it doesn't appear that he was otherwise
than courteous 1t is true the suit
was against distinguished Republican
senator and the amount sued for was
comparatively small. but these facts
were not justification for treating the
summons with contempt and insulting
the officer who served it.
1t may be said that the Postmaster
General would have acted in the same
manner if he had not been a member
of Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet. 1t is
doubtful If he would. He wouldn't
have felt himself to be such an impor-
tant individual. Besides he wouldn't
have been imbued with the spirit
which seams to animate the Roosevelt
administration, the spirit of imperial
ism, the spirit that brooks no inter-
ference or opposition.
1t is being said that Mr.. Roosevelt
is a dangerous man to have in the
White House. What better evidence
is needed than is furnished by this in
cident of the treatment of the Chicago
constable by the Postmaster General?
The Postmaster General would hardly
have acted as he did If he had not been
Influenced by the teachings and exam
pie of the President in greater matters.
Having witnessed the readiness with
which the President steps outside his
constitutional limitations what more
natural than a cabinet officer should
treat with contempt a constable of a
little Chicago court and the summons
il Issued?
