A Good Appointment.

President Roosevelt has Just been
guilty Of a frightful heresy in the
eyes Of the members of his party.
He has appointed Francis E. Luepp
to the the Office OF Indian Commits
sioner Mr.. Luepp is lifelong
Democrat and has for years been
Washington correspondent OF q
Democratic newspaper. Mr.. Luepp
was appointed q member of the In
dian Commission by president
Cleveland, resigning after several
years service. He has been the
special investigation of numerous In
dian scandals and has not only stu
died the problem Of handling the
Indians bat has the best Interests OF
the Indians at heart. That, OF
course makes no difference to the
partisan politician. Mr.. Roosevelt
should have appointed q Republi-
can. Fitness for the Office should
nave been purely a secondary con-
tideration- Mr.. Luepp succeeds
Vim. A. Jones, one Of the best In
dian Commissioners who ever filed
the office, and and Republican.
Mr.. Jones was formerly Republi-
can Member OF the Wisconsin state
legislature. When Mr.. Jones ham
ded to the President his resignation
Mr.. Roosevelt asked if be could
suggest q good man for his success
sor, Jones replied Yes, Francis E.
Luepp Mr.. Luepp is a democrat
replied the President. Il know
that, but If there is one office in
the administration which should be
filled withou. regard to party poll
tics it is the one | have the honor OF
resigning, and to Mr.. Jones credit
it may be said that he always placed
the interests Of the Indians and the
good OF the service before partisan
considerations.

The Panama Canal and the Railroads
Fight.

When Congress reconvenes there
is TO be made terrific fight on the
Panama Canal Commission. An
effort will be made to cut its mem
bership down to three and other
changes will be advocated. The
existing Commission may be open to
criticism, probably il, but those
who believe 10 an Istmian canal will
think twice before they endorse the
attack. The onslaught is to be led
by Representative VIM. p. Hep
burn Of Iowa chairman OF the COM
mittee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce. Mr.. Hepburn is the
protege of J. w. Blythe, national
committeeman for Iowa and Coun-
sci for the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railway. An examination
OF Mr.. Hepburn's record shows that
be has always fought any isthmisn
canal. that he, with others whose
sincerity was questioned espoused
the Nlcaraguan route that be al
most succeeded in killing the Pan
anna Civil Government bill in the
closing hours Of the last session and
so delaying all work on the canal
Tor year. The c. B. & @. is vir-
tually a trans continental road.
The trsnscontinental roads dread
the competition OF an isthmian can
al because it will inevitably lower
trsnscontinentsl railway rates. Be-
fore endorsing Mr.. Hepburn's at
tack the wise man will reflect for a
moment on the sdsge, Beware Of
the Greeks bearing gifts"

He was readily taken. and every
thing was done for his comfort. II
was APPARENT, however, that he was
thoroughly appreciatiye of the atten-

everyone. Realizing that he had but a
short time to live, he expressed de,
sire that his doctors and his funeral
expenses should be paid, and made a
further earnest request Of the hospital
trustees to accept donation Of $50
for the use Of the institution.
Many thousands of dollars have
been poured forth for the Salem hos

Of which it is so proud to-day. Surely
