leading members of the legal pro-
fession in the Pacific Northwest held
at the American Inn on the Portland
exposition grounds Thursday even,
ing, Aug 10, a notable address was
made by Hon. w. e. Borah of
BOISE, on the "Tyranny of Graft. 5"
In part Mr.. Borah spoke as follows:
To-day we are passing as d nation
through period Of shame and chagrin.
In 26 states of the Union fraud and cor
ruption have been uncovered in high
political circles, and investigation IS ac-
tually in progress. At least four of the
great departments at Washington are
honeycombed with rotteness. Twelve
United States senators are under a
cloud. The great names of finance,
those who count their wealth in mil
lions or tire aud cease to count at all.
are associated in organized pilfering
from the widows and orphans of the
land. The guilty and the innocent are
all in the cesspool together. In sack
cloth and ashes the people are PAYNE
the forfeit of their crime--indifference
to the obligations of citizenship. For
30 years the mass of people busy in get

ted to be easily called into the street
have forgotten that we have form of
government which calls for the vigil
ance of all the people all the time. The
siren voice of partisanship has talked
of loyalty, and the business world has
talked of conservation until we have a
saturnalia of shame and crime which
reaches from one end of the land to the
other. Loyalty has too often meant
the protection of peculators. and con-
servatism. of which the laughing fraud
of New York was the most noted disci-
pie, has been the cover for his paltry
