Bully for Mayor Weaver!
Bully for the preachers and other pous people whose

Bully for the newspapers that have pounded him
the head with heavy clubs until he has not his title

Whatever influence is emitted to most credit the main

PORTLAND, June lin spite of
the fact which recently has been
widely published by Eva Emery Dye,
the historian, and author of 1.-The
Conquest" that Meriweather Lewis,
the explorer, died a bachelor, a host
of people are claiming to be among
his descendants. The circumstance
of the Lewis and Clark exposition
being held to commemorate the CEN
tennial of the exploring expedition
to the Pacific ocean of which Meri-
wether Lewis, with Captain william
Clark, was commander, is consider

growth of spurious descendants of
the man who helped save Oregon to
the Union and who never had any

It Is Coming!

Hamilton W. Mabe, the critic makes strong proph-
ecy in recent magazine article
He says the day will come when statues of Lee and
Stonewal Jackson will be erected in northern cities and
when the south will erect statues of Abraham Lincoln
1t is far cry from Appomattox to consummation
devoutly to be wished.
And yet,-why not'
Lee and jackson were TYPES of Americans who heard
what they believed to be the buge call of duty and
not feerean to the CALL They sincere and proved
their sincerity by rsking all that hold dear. They
misguided but that the fault Of their heritage
not of their hearts.
And Abraham Lincoln not hater of the south He
realized in his great soul that the two sections about
equally responsible for the institution of slavery His heart
too big for bitterness. Had he lived he would have
befrended the south He would have saved from that
subverson of its society that with reconstruction and
the travail that followed.
The south is learning this fact
Che charleston News and Courier commenting on Mr.
Mabie's article says:
eff, Mr. Mabie alleges, these Of the views
which gaining wider and frmer hold in 'The New
North, of which he writes the day of perfect under
standing is not yet come but it is coming And has
been frequently remarked the coming has been hast
ened by the Spanish American where of blue and
gray marched together.
The philosophy of history when to write of our
civil will that the clash OF two anagonlstic
civilizations two irrepressble moral forces There
the superior moral force joined to the heaviest batta

And
When the last lingering sectionasm shall have passed
away is it too much predict that the historic figures of
Lee and Jackson shall adom the northern parks and the
homey rugged features of Abraham Lincoln appear the
public squares of the south?

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Reports
are current that Lloyd c. Griscom,
United States minister to Japan, will
before long succeed Francis b. Loom
Is as assistant secretary Of state.
That Loomis Is to leave the depart
ment seems to be the general opinion.
AS to the reason for his departure,
there Is wide disagreement. 1t is va
riously stated that Secretary Hay
does not desire him as co-laborer,
that Loomis is going to enter bust
ness, that he is going to resign on
account of the Venezuelan rumpus,
and that the president is going to
promote him to the post of amba ssa-
dor. Anyhow, he is to change his
job.
Griscom Is touted for the place,
chiefly because of his knowledge of
Japans affairs and the belief that
Japan is going to cut a large figure
in world politics.
