Railroads Will Fight Haugen.

It is said the railroads are deter
mined to make a fight upon the con-
frmation of Mr.. Haugen. When after
the reading of the message, Senator
Munson moved that the appointments
be confirmed at once, Senator Rogers
threatened call of the senate. Rather
than be locked in the senate chamber
through a long hot night, an agreement
was reached by which the matter was
laid over until today with the under
standing that call of the house would
be made at that time. What was VII
tually a call of the house was made
last night but was not enforced on the
members present, the object being to
have notice served upon all absent
members SO that they might return fol
this mornings session.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Haugen's
friends that the work of the commits
sion would be advanced more than a
year by the presence of Mr.. Haugen on
the board, as he has been through the
whole subject of railroad valuation in
his work on the tax commission.
Will Accept Position.
Prof. Meyer is now in Germany, and
the fact that the governor did not send
the appointments to the senate until
late yesterday afternoon is due to the
fact that the governor was waiting for
cable message from the doctor as to
whether he would accept. At about
4:3O in the afternoon cablegram from
Berlin was received announcing that
DR.. Meyer would accept the position
for term of four years.
Later-The senate refused to con
firm Haugen, 16 to IL, and then the
governor named john Barnes OF
Rhinelander. He is democratic
lawyer and defended LaFollette in the
supreme court proceedings last sum

Governor La Toilette late yesterday
afternoon sent a message to the SEN
ate naming Prof. B. H. Meyer Of the
University of Wisconsin, Commission
er of Labor and Industrial Statistics
Halford Erickson and Second Assist
ant Tax Commissioner Nils P. Haugen
as members of the railroad commits
sion of Wisconsin created by the rate
bill which became law Thursday.
DIR. Meyer was named for the short
term, ending February 1, 1909; Mr..
ElIcks0n for the term ending February
1, 1911 and Mr.. Haugen for the term
ending 1913 DR.. Meyer did not care
to take a longer term. He was willing

that time had amounted to but little.
Mr. Erickson took hold of it and pro-
ceeded to lay out plan for the devel-
opment and growth of the department.
1t required new laws, it required an
increase in the factory inspection
force. and these came only after he
was able to demonstrate that the de-
partment was something more than a
Sinecure.
Sketch of Prof. Meyer.
Professor Balthasar H. Meyer was
born May 28, 1866, at Mequon, Ozau-
kee county. In 1893 he was gradual

TO take short term appointment and
give his best efforts to getting the work
well under way. 1t is his belief that
four years should find the most import
ant part of the work well in hand and
many of the vexing problems we'll out
of the way. He did not care to remain
q member of the commission longer
than four years.
Much Comment on Appointments.
1t wass common comment last night
that no commission ever appointed for
any work in Wisconsin represented
the same ability and peculiar fitness
for the work outlined as this one nom
mated by Gov. La Toilette. The nom
nations are praised by every one IA
miIiar with the work and training of
the men named Prof. Meyer, who is
nominated for the short term, ending
Feb. 1, 1909, stands at the head OF all
investigators on railway problems in
this country and probably in the
world The truth of this statement is
attested by the fact that he was cho-
sen by the government to value all
the railroads in the Uniter States for
the census bureau, and by the further
fact that he has been chosen by the
Carnegie Institution at washington to
write the history of the railroads OF
America for the economic history of
the United States which is being pre-
pared under the direction of this in
stitution by the most eminent authori.
ties in this country. Transportation
is his subject in the school of political
science in the University of WiScOn-
sin. He has studfed this subject for
years and has been university lee
turer ON this subject for ten years. He
has written several works, among
others being a book entitled Railway
Legislation in the United States. By
this it will be seen that he is man
of national reputation. He has high
standing not only as an economist but
as a man of practical knowledge.
Regrets Loss of Meyer.
President Van Hise OF the univer-
sity said last night that he deeply re-
GREETED the loss of Prof. Never to the
department of political science and
that he did not know where the uni
versity would find his equal when it
came to filing the vacancy made by
his appointment to a place on the rail-
road commission.
DIR Meyers work here was thor
cugh, careful and of az unusually high
character" he said. "He had a grasp
of the subject of transportation which
but few men in the country had. The
university will suffer a great loss by
his appointment to the railroad COM
mission. and / fear will suffer much
trouble in finding man to fill his
place. He is an investigator of high
character and is recognized as such
throughout the country. He was
highly esteemed by all the members
Of the faculty, and we all regret to
lose him"
DR.. Richard T. Ely, head of the
school of political science and one of
the leading economists of the United
states spoke highly of the conserva-
tive and careful disposition of DR..
Meyer.
CDR. Meyer is, in my estimation, es-
pecially well equipped and peculiarly

ROCKEFELLER AS A scAPEGoAT
Certain Defects in the Righteous At
titude Toward Him.

NeFtdlH OeISCtS IN tne HI9nteouS Al
titude Toward Him.
Outlook.-We object to the present
campaign against Mr.. Rockefeller be-
cause it is a misdirected campaign:
because, however moral are the mo-.
tives which inspire it, the effects are
immoral; because it turns the indig-
nation of the national conscience away
from a national wrong-doing; because
1t promotes national wrong-doing; be-
cause it promotes national pride in
stead Of cultivating national humility;
because it's effect is to make men
plume themselves on their superior
holiness who in fact lack not the spirit
but only lack the ability to make OF
trade a successful war; because it
singles out one illustrious example OF
a pernicious system and leaves the sys-
tenn itself unrebuked; because it thus
tends to pharisaism, not to public and
general repentance and reformation.
The passage the Outlook would like to
recommend to the clergy Of America to
preach on next Sunday is this:-
These eighteen upon whom the tow
er in Sloan fell and slew them, think
ye that they were sinners above all
men that dwelt in Jerusalem? / tell
you, nay; but except We repent, We shall
all likewise perish.
On the great day of atonement in
the history of ancient Israel, the high
priest was to select two goats, and,
sacrificing one, was to confess over the
other '4all the inquities of the children
Of Irael, and all their trangressions in
all their SINS" and this goat was to be
sent off into wilderness to be seen no
more. The modern method lacks one
essential feature of the ancient ritual.
All the sins of the children of America
and all their transgressions in their
sins are put on John d. Rockefeller
but without confessing them as the
sins of the American people, and with
out any self-sacrifice to get rid OF
them. Such a use of the scapegoat
serves no valuable purpose. 1t does
not require much penitence TO say,
You have done the things you ought
not to have done. and you have left
undone tie things you ought to have
done, and there is no health in you.
1t does not require much piety to say,
God be merciful to you sinner. IL
requires very little courage to preach
against the sins of very successful
sinner to a congregation of very mod
erate1y successful sinners 1t Isl
against the folly and the sin which
measures success by the largeness OF
acquisition, not by the greatness OF
service; which says, every day but
Sunday, he that would be greatest
you let him be richest of all,
that the church and the ministry
should bear witness. 1t is against
that spirit Of acquisitiveness which de-
files and degrades and dishonors this
otherwise great age and great people
that the church and the ministry should
arouse the national conscience; and
they should so arouse it that each
man will re-read the record of his own
life, not that of his fellow, and will
hale, not his more successful competi-
tor but himself, before that awakened
for Christly judgment.

The Concordia is a valuable copper property which is about sixteen miles eastward from Hermosillo, upon which considera- ble development work done by Mir. Monteverde has exposed large ore bodies. It is the opinion of those who have examined the ground that with capital and machinery 1t can be made a great producing property It's proximity to the line of the Sonora railway will be of great value.

The TfeyIno clfees.

Yesterday the Trevifio circus which has played very successful engagements at Guaymas, Hermo- sillo, Minas Prietas and Mazda lena, Sonora, opened at Noga- les, Sonora, giving two perfor- manees, daily, which vii be continued several days next week. While not so preientious as many other circuses, which give more show upon their bill boards than inside the tent, this circus presents an array of talent which would be hard to equal anywhere in the world Every act is perfect, and man single acts are so marvellous and finished that the spectator feels that he had his moneys worth in witnessing that alone. Particularly is this true of the slack wire performances of the Robledillos, young man and his sister, the latter sweet little miss but twelve years of age. The little girl is very proficient performer upon the slack wire, but the performance of her brother is some thing wonderful. He seemingly sets at defiance all the laws of equitation, and runs, jumps and dances upon the swinging wire with the most apparent ease, per forming all sorts of tricks, that one could have hardly accomplish ed standing on the g ound, yet con- stantly maintaining his hold upon the slenderand unstable footing giv- en him by the wire His imitation of very drunken man is remarka- ble. He reels, stumbles and stag gers back and forth on the wire at every step seemingly about 10 fall, not for an instant apparently in equilibrium, the wire swaying violently from side to side, yet keeping aloft all the time, and leaving his place only when the act is finished amid the cheers and shouts of the astonished and de- lighted audience. A standing offer of $l0000 is made by Mr. Trevi1o to any one who will excel this per formance.
 To enumerate all the first attrac- tions presented by Mr. Trevifio would fill more space than can be spared. TIE OASIS only advises it's readers to go and see for them selves.
