ACCEPTED By CONGRESS.
Ambassador Jusserand. on Behalf of
French Citizens, Presents the
Bronze Replica Of the Original Mar
bic Bust of Washington.

Washington. February 2a-Ambas-
sador Jusserand presented to the Con-
gress today the bronze replica OF the
original marble bust OF George Wash
ington, which was destroyed by a Are
in the library OF Congress In 1851 The
ceremonies took place i'm the rotunda
at the capitol, where the bust was un-
yelled in the Presidents room, in the
Senate wing, where speeches were made
by the ambassador on behalf OF the
French donors and by Senator wetmore
of Rhode Island, and Representative
McCleary Of Minnesota on behalf of
the two branches of Congress. Presi-
dent pro tenn Frye of the Senate pre-
sided
Madame Jusserand drew aside the
veil, which exposed the replica and its
gerlanded pedestal. This act provoked
the only applause of the ceremony.
NJ. Jusserand said in part:
"A great nation never forgets the
great deeds and examples of its ances-
tors and no man indeed in any country,
better deserves grateful remembrance
than George Washington. He was. in
truth, providential man: no other
of your many great men would have
been able to do 50 well what he did; !;
and he, appearing at any other period
of your history, would not have prov
ed such a useful citizen He would
not, perhaps, have fulfilled Lincoln's S
task so Well, but he fulfilled Washing
tons; the noblest that could be imas-
ined. The noblest; for the question was
one then of life or death; the question
was to know whether the attempted
revolution would prove the cradle or the
grave of American liberty.
For his mighty task, he had all dhe
needed, and rarely united qualities; pa
tience which was not inaction, readi-
ness and fortitude which We're not
temority, cafmness which was not IN
difference, kindness which was not
weakness. Far above all the rest, his
soundness of heart, of mind, of sense. >
Senator Wetmore said: BY a strange
coincidence, at the time French citizens
in 1903 We're uniting for the purpose of
Offering a bronze bust of Washington,
modelled ON the original mold the Con-
gress of the United States was also con-
sidering the purchase of marble repi-
ca of the bust of lafayette by David,
executed for Mr.. Charles Manigault. OF
Charleston, S. &C., (which has since been
acquired.
Thus this Congress after a period cf
more than fifty years, will again have
i'm it's possession. rephcas of the Dus.s
of Washington and La Fayette by
David Dangers
Representative MdCleary spoke Of
Washington's human side and told q
number of stories showing the humo~
that coursed through his veins in the
face of the difficulties he encountered.

BEEF TRUST CASE.
Commissioner Garfield Has Not Yet
Completed His Investigation.

Washington, February 22.-Comnis
14ations, has not yet completed his Tt-
port of the investigation of the beef
trust Five important chapters of the
report practically have been finished
butt the detailed figures of the remain
der have mot been obtained. inspectors
of the bureau are now working on TINS
part of the report, and it iS expected
that the information will be in the
hands Cf Commissioner Garfield next
week.
It is not certain whether that part
Of the report which has been comp ct
ed will be submitted by the President
to Congress at the present session.
There are reasons why all the inforna-
tfon obtained should not be made public
at this time, but it is possible that
some Of it may be sent to Congress ne-
fore Adjournment. Under the law 1t is
discretio nary with the President Wheth-
er the reports submitted to him by the
commissioner of corporations shall be
made pubic in their entirey.
In directing that the operations of the
beef trust be investigated by a special
grand jury, A ttorney General Moody has
acted upon facts developed by the i'm
vestigation conducted by Commissioner
Garfield. This information was pre-
sented to the department of justice
through the President.
1t is not desired by officials of the
government to publish at this time the
concre,e results of the inquiry, because
by so doing, the hand of the govern
ment in any prosecution of the opera
tors in the TRUST would be disclosed
in a measure ait least. The OIL trust it,
quiry Will be begun actively next week,
Commissioner Garfield now being en-
gagged in preparing his plans for it and
outlining the work to be done.

While it is pleasing to note that
the governor has seen fit to ap-
point a young republican to the
position Of associate Judge in this
district, it is with regret on the
part of his many friends that the
appointment did not fall on our
fellow townsman, E. R. Bryson,
a staunch republican. If the
governor had seen fit to adhere
strictly to precedents Of a parti-
san character, then it would have
been very agreeable to have seen
WIS McFadden appointed. How
ever, this sentiment is no refec-
tion on the present appointee,

from the State University with
honors in 1898. Later he at
tended the law school at Ann
Harbor, Mich, and was admitted
to the practice of law in 1897.
Those who have observed his
work agree that he is a young
man of ability and skill in his
profession, and it is expected
that he will bring honor to the
position to which he has recently
been appointed. Mr.. Harris is a
republican. He was elected to
the legislature from Lane county
and by his associate members
was elected Speaker of he House.
He discharged the duties of
speaker with ability and gave
good satisfaction. At the last

A RIGHT SENTIMENT.

A right or wrong sentiment !;
may be said to enter into all
things. An intelligent person
with right sentiment may safely
be trusted with the discharge Of
any duty which may fall to his
lot in life and which is within
the limit of his capabilities. But
person possessed of wrong SEN
timents, no matter how great his
ability may be, can not be relied
upon to do the right and honora-
BILE thing at all times. A wrong
sentiment sometimes creates bad
men. One thing is certain, 10
bad men are over-endowed with
good sentiments.
Sentiment enters largely into
the makeup of all of us. Edu-
cation is splendid thing, but
when accompanied with a false
idea of things it is possible that
it may prove rather more a curse
than a blessing to its possessor,
as we'll as those who may be af-
fected by his acts. For instance,
should u man, because by chance
his parents gave him opportuni-
ty to acquire an education become
possessed of the idea that he is
too good to perform his duty
which may soil his hands or pro-
hibit his wearing good clothes, it
is plain that he has not the right
sentiment. No honest labor is
degrading. For your own COM
fort you may not desire to do it,
but should circumstances; place
you, for the time being, without
the power to choose your employ
ment, do that which is at hand
to the best of your ability and
you will not be degraded. Mer
and women whose opinion is Of
value, will uphold you.
Many hundreds of young peo.
pie are leaving our educationa
institutions each year. A large
percentage of them go forth intt
the battle for an existance with
the feeling, or sentiment, tha1
they are too good to do this, that
or the other thing. Some are for
tunate and succeed in life, many
may be considered failures 1
few are worse. Instead of doing
that which may offer in an hon
orable way, a few drift toward
"sharp practice" and develop in
to criminals. These lack righ
sentiment.
A successful business mai
once stated that when h
heard a man say that this or tina
job was beneath him, he al
ways felt convinced that the EN-
ployment offered was too goo'
for him. And there is mucl
truth in what this man thought
It is as much the duty Of an in
structor at an educational insti
tuition to develop a right an
healthy sentiment, as it is t
teach any branch of learn
ing. Neglect this and his edu
cation will likely be of no benefi
to the student or any other per
son.
