TO AID THE CAUSE.
Hinger Hermann to work fOr
Rivers and IsarbOrs.

Binger Hermann, Representa- We to
Congress from the First District, left
for Washington last night over the
Northern Pacific, says the Oregonian.
He will hurry straight through so as to
90 before the House committee on
rivers and ha,bo-s, which will adjourn
the end of next week after having pre-
pared recommendations for river and
hal Dor appropriations.
Unless Oregon shall be fully repre-
sented before the committee, appropri-
atoms for rivers and harbors in this
state may be pruned even lower than
the Chief of Engineers has cut down the
Inmates of Major Lang tt. Though
the Columbia River does not touch his
district, Mr.. Hermann recognizes it's
,eds as the most important that the
Oregon members of Congress will have
to u ge at the National capital. Luck
lily Congress is dispo ,ed to be generous
with the Columbia, no doubt because
the river IS one of the largest IN the
United States Thus testified Mr.. Her
mann last night. and added:
'It has always been paratively
easy to yet appropriations for the Col
umbia Riyer. 1t is great stream and
Congress is aware of its importance. A
very kindly spirit prevails at Washing
ton as to the Columbia"
Mr.. Hermann spoke of the pruning
given to the estimates of Major Lang
fit by the Chief of Engineers as 've y
unfortunate" and as requiring the i'm
mediate presence of the Oregon delega-
ton q. Washington. But for tie fact
that his testimony was required yester
day in this city in the lsnd-fraud trials,
Mr.. Hermann would have started East
earlier. Senator Mitchell is probably
there now, as he intended to eat
Thanksgiving turkey at Washington.
Senator Fulton will arrive Monday.
"It is customary" said Mr.. Her
mann, "for the House committee, in
drawing up the river and harbor bill, to
TO low the recommendations OF the
Chief of Engineers; indeed, it is al
most an unwritten law that his esti-
mates shall not be rased."
''Then, will it be impossible to hav;
the Chief OF Engineers estimates for
the Columbia raised? was asked.
No." responded Mr.. Hermann, Il
do not say that. 1t may be possible 10
raise the House figures in the Sc ale.
In the House, however, the recommen
dations of the Chief of Engir eers MY
be reduced in order to keep down the
total of the appropriations to the srm
that the House leaders deem ex-
pedient."
Mr.. HERNIA IN dos cot forget the
lesser harbors on the coast of 0 egon.
such as Tillamook and Coos Bay and
the Siuslaw River, and SAYS that he
will bend bis energies to have them
recognized in the next river and harbor
bll. He is thoroughly convinced OF
the efficacy of dredging and Il en-
.avor to secure appropriations for
small sea dredges for the lesser harbors.
He is Of the opinion that the dredge
Chinook has done more toward deepen
ing the Columbia bar than has been
credited to it.

The Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Republi- can paper. has this to say on a present interesting subject-at least 1t is interest ing to those concerned.
 The halo that encircles a Senator's g head in the presence of Senatorial in- vestigatng committee disappears when he is haled before a jury of twelve hard headed common men in St. Louis and he is hustled and tostled by the lawyers and his feathers trimmed just the same az though he was an ordinary member of the Missouri Legislature.
 Undoubtedly there Is quite a difference between haloing and haling, when the principal character is a Senator of the United States. We imagine there is a good deal of shrinking in the mans esti- nation of himself when he sees that he is the peniteniary. That comes of needing n1oney-'and taking 1t and getting caught.
 It is also interesting to compare the above case of Senator Burton. who is the man referred to. with that of Senator Dietrich, who was guilty of the same In the case of Dietrich all sorts of itechni- cal schemes and dodges were resorted to and he not only escaped punishment but retains his seat and evidently stands high with the administration. for he has of late received important consideration from the President. He is, as The Journal ex- presses it, washed winter than snow" Burton made the mistake, from the Re. publican point of view, of standing his trial squarely Possibly he thought that Senatorial halo was sufficiently effulgent to blind the eyes of justice and send him forth as white As Dietrich.
 There is where he fell down, to use a common expression. He should have em- ployed a sharp lawyer and resorted to all the technlcalities and loop-holes which our somewhat elastic laws kept in readi- ness for such cases. He stood his trial and will go to prison while the other holds up his head without visible official stain and will continue to be one of the pillars of the Republican Party and the admins | tration It doesn't seem exactly fair, but there are many things in politics that do not seent fair Probably If Dietrich had happened 10 be Democrat the case might have been different. We can't always tell about such things.

The child has been i'll for some time; first, having pneumonia, fol- lowed by measles. but she was improv- ing, and apparently on the road to health. Last night her heart became affected and an alarming sinking spell occurred Medical aid was quickly summoned, but all effort to revive the patient were of no vail and at 6 o'clock the little life went out. The body will be carried to Montgomery tomorrow morning for fin. torment. Captain and Mrs. Bunkley have lost three young daughters.

should stand on its own bottom. rely on it's own principles. and fight for its own faith to victory or defeat.
 Fusion in politics always means com promise. and comprouiise always means that one or both sides must surrender some portion of faith. We are of those who believe that Democracy Is right. and. believing that. we hold to the doctrine that adherence to principle is the duty of Democrat. Our Party has. as The In ter Mountain declares. tried fusion with everything that would fuse with us. and we are heartily tired of it., If we ever gain any advantage out 1t. 1t is only tenn porary and We suffer for it afterwards. In this good year we sincerely hope the Party will get back to genuine Democ- racy. both in ticket and platform. and stick to it. Then if any one wants to fuse let them fuse into our Party on our own terms.

 Decatur, April 5.-(special.) .)-The candi- dates for the various county offices ad- dressed the citizens of Decatur on Bank Street last night and were listened to hv' a large crowd.
 The primary will take place next Mon- day, and for this reason there Is much enthusiasm on the part ot the numerous candidates. The vote of the county will doubtless be very small. as the people generally are taking but little interest in the contest. A great many men of the county, who could have done so, failed to register and others who were registered failed to pay their poll tax and are therefore not entitled to vote The farmers are Eeatly behind with theiI work and if election morning dawns faiI and bright the vote in tho rural dis tricts will be greatly reduced, as the farmers will not quit their crops to go to the polls.

While statesmal- ship in Europe and America is doing all in its power to preserve neutrality. to cireum- scribe the area of war. yellow journalism is doing all in its power to increase the excite ment by means of every kind of exaggration and invention. The extravagances of this kind of journalism have been marked even m England since the war began.

Pensacola, Fla, April 6.-tSpecial)- The brush of the police and sailors last night seems to have been more serious than at first reported. and the way the story was told in the police court this nn6rnin9 showed that serious trouble was narrowly averted. The deputy mar shAl, Milton Frank, who responded 10 the oficer's assistance, stated that when they went after the fighting seamen they had to use strenuous means 10 forestai' serious dificulties, and 1t looked ike they would be mobbed for time. Otner police from other beats responded. and 1t required careful handling to stop what might have proven bloodshed. The oni- cers were supported in their story by the defendants themselves. who gave at an excuse for their conduct that they were ashore for the first time in SIX months, and that whiskey had a bad ef- feet on them.
 One of the sailors had his head badly scared from having run against the club of onicer Simpson. and the conduct of that ofieer has been commended by the chief, who thinks the man preserv' ed his temper to a wonderful degree.
 There were a number of seamen fr court this morning, one Of them badly bruised. His name Is White. Last night Officer Spottswood arrested him for drunkenness. When the patrol wagon started with him to the police station White tried to leap and run away. h falling, his body plunged between the wheels, and the vehicle passed over him injurins hts spine and hip. On account oi this condition. no fine was imposed this morning.

A NOTABLE CAREER.

All Boston and Cambridge have been celebrating in the dignified way that be- comes the Hub of the Universe, Presi- dent Eiiot's seventieth birthday. It is notable career they are giving an account of and 1t has been particularly so by req son of the mans contributions to the so- cial and political thought of his time. We have never been much impressed with his idea that science is a better discipline than literature and especially the litera- ture of the Greeks and Romans; nor have we any fancy for his notion that young man, or boy, rather. of sixteen or eigh- teen, is a better judge than his parents or a college faculty of what will for him be the most profitable course of study. Un- doubtedly the Cambridge President has exercised powerful influence in estab- fishing science in opposition to the so- called humanities in the college and uni versity courses of, the United States. Those who admire this are at liberty to cheer him. We ourselves prefer to look on another side of his public career. He has repeatedly during the last twenty years proved he had a sort of heroic cour- age for a man now occupying his posi- ton. Brought up a Republican. he broke away from his Party to vote for Cleve- land and was not content to be silent voter. He spoke out It is his habit 70 speak out and boldly. For several years he has divided his public addresses be- tween the enforcement of his educational ideas and the proper relations between capital and labor. He believes the politics of the future will revolve about the ques- and labor. In 1896 he inaugurated a cam paign and he has kept 1t up until this day in favor of the right of every man to labor, if he chose to labor, and had been offered employment. free from control or interference on the part of any union. In 1sse he made bold to say he regarded a ''scab'' as "a good type of American hero" This was not specially remarked at that time, but when. in 1909, before the Economic Club of Boston and the Colo nial Club of Cambridge he pronounced the seab and strike breaker a good type or the modern hero, a storm broke over his head. He, however, reaffirmed his creed in Buffalo in 1908, and during the current year before the University Club of Brook lyn he went further and declared the unions had left Americans with less lib- erty than they enjoyed in 1776. This in a way brought on a challenge that he should speak his sentiments before body of' workingmen. He accepted the chal- lenge and went before the Boston Central Labor Union and in Faneuil Hall he reit- erated in full all his reproaches aimed a, what he called the tyranny of the unions and defended the right of the scab and the strike-breaker to live and work un harmed. Whatever one may think oi President Eliot's notions on the subject he is now making his own, 1t must Q, plain he presents a question all thought full men, whether members of unions oi not. must more and more face as labol consolidates it's strength,

ABOUT PRACTICAL FUSION
The Butte (Mont) Inter Mountain files this rather severe indictment against the Democratic Party:


 this rather severe indictment against the Democratic Party:
 Democracy, since the civil war. has tried fusion for exhibition purposes. for points, and for a finish performance. Ii has fused with Liberal Republicans. with Greenbackers, with Populists, with Silver Republicans. with Prohibitionists. It has cast longing looks in localities at the Seventh Day Advehtists, at industrial or ganizations and at the throngs of fans which adorn the bleachers at baseball games. Today 1t Is seriously considering a large variety of propositions designed to assist 1t in the great task of getting together and fusing with itself.
 Democrats can'l plead mot guilty" tt the charge, for 1t Is lamentably. true. w. have tried fusion in all its varying mood; and tenses. and a poor return we've hat for it. In almost every instance our Par ty has been the loser. either in votes ol loss of confidence afterwards. We ma, be permitted to hope that there hal been an end of it.

Athens, Ala, April {, 1904. Editor The Advertiser:
 Captain Kolb's friends are saying that in the triangular race for President of the Railroad Commission that MT. Conner is the acute angle, MT. Smith Is the ob- tuse and Captain Kolb is the right an- gle. That sounds right we'll and some think 1t states the proposition correctly. and we expect the 11th of April to dem onstrate politically, as 1t was long ago triangle, that has an obtuse angle there can be no right angle. This statement of the case suits us in another way. and that is, that the obtuse angle is always greater than the other two angles in the triangle, and we expect this to be dem onstrated on the 11th. by the obtuse an- gle.

EfSects Sent Home.

Last night the personal effects of the late Lieutenant Commander Warburtor of the Maine, were sent by express to the dead officers wife in Philadelphia, The last vaatige of property belonging to the oficer was expressed to the wife, and his name taken from the ships ros- ter.
 The small boats crew, who brought the several trunks ashore, were about as sad in handling the trunks as they were Saturday when the casket was taken from the same boat and sent to the train under an impressive military escort.
 Liberty to the Maine's crew has been generally denied since the suicide of last Friday, this decision being taken to mean in some respects to keep from the pub lie the general information regarding the suicide.
 The information comes from the ship however. that liberty will be granted during the next few days. and that the crew will be given a chance on shore before the ship leaves.
