land in his second term, has already
found several cases I'm which he is
confronted by IA condition and not a
theory" and some of the conditions
have come into violent collision with
each other.
One of them is a deficit i'm the
treasury. Another is the presidents
desire for a rapidly growing navy. TO
cost S114.OOO.OOO next year. A third
is the desire of congressman for ex-
pensive improvements that will gain
them votes in their districts. A fourth
is the popular demand for tariff re-
vision, seconded by the need for more
revenues, the duties being now in
many cases far above the revenue
producing point. fifth is the de-
termination of the chief protected in
terests not to permit any revision
that would lessen their profits. A
sixth is the anxiety of the president
and the public for legislation regu-
lating trusts and railroad rates. A
seventh is the repugnance of the fl
nancial elements so potent I'm the re-
publican organization to any effective
legislation of that character.
In an effort to reconcile some of
these irreconcilabilities, the president
called a conference of the leaders of
both houses at the White House re-
Gently. Four senator's and five rep
resentatives attended, but 1t was i'm
possible to secure a general agree
ment on any of the points in dispute.
A strong sentiment developed in fa-
vor of cutting down the presidents
naval program. On the question of
tariff revision opinions were almost
evenly divided The one definite re-
suit of the discussion was AN under
standing that the republican members
of the ways and means committee of
the house, with the help of other re-
publican leaders should study the
tariff question during the spring and
summer and try to agree upon
measure to be presented to congress
at an extra session in the autumn.

Tom Watson vitalizes everything he
touches. He is no electric eel. nor

The quality of this inert, obese

them at Washington. This was well

HITS THE PEDDLER HARD.

House bill No. 1863 introduced by
Representative Kinney. of Sherman,
Wheeler and Gillian counties. is a
solar plexus blow to peddlers of all
rlasses of domestic or agricultural
<ares.
The bill provided that all peddlers
sf agricultural machinery, stoves.
ranges, wagons, buggies, carriages or
S1rries, or other similar vehicles,
zhaIl pay in advance to the county
rlerk yearly license of $500, and in
1heir failure to do this, upon convic=
non shall be fined 500 for the first
atfense and a like amount for each
succeeding offense, including all costs
Of the action.
The bill designates as peddlers any
persons who, after shipping any of
the named wares to the state of ore
gon, shall proceed to distribute them
BY samples. or solicitation, among the
residents of the state.
The bill is good as far as the ped
der is concerned, but what about
she people who persist in patronizing
geddlers? Peddlers would not come
INTO a county where they were not
invited by ever ready patronage.
This is a phase of the peddler issue
which the legislature cannot reach.
The people must quit patronizing
Deddlers of their own volition. They
must build up home institutions by
spending their money with home peo-
pie. This must come through home
pride and patronage of home institu
tioIis. This is the most successful
way in which to Danish the peddler.
But the Legislature can help ban
ish the peddler by placing a prohibi-
tive license upon his business. While
Il may seem unjust, yet it is the right
thing to do. The peddler sweeps into
the country without bearing any of
the responsibilities reaps harvest
from the legitimate fields of trade be-
longing to the resident merchants,
white the resident merchant loses this
trade, and is yet taxed heavily to
support the government.
The legislature should pass the bill
without a dissenting vote.

ROCKEFELLER'S .RELIGION." /"

The methods of Mr.. Rockefeller are
interesting. The Tarrytown cores
pondent of the Philadelphia North
American, referring To Mr.. ROckefel-
Ter, says:
For three years he has vainly en-
deavored to buy John j. Melin's prop
erty in Briggsville, village near the
oil magnate's large estate here. Me-
lin keeps a tavern on the road to the
Standard Oil kings home 1t is OBJ
noxious to Rockefeller. and he has
frequently tried to get possession of
the land He has even attempted to
get Melin's license revoked, but Me-
lin has beaten him.
When Rockefeller realized that he
had failed to bulge Melin, he decided
to take the tavern keepers business
away from him. He proceeded to buy
up Briggsville. If Mr.. Rockefeller
purchases the whole village and Gusts
the tenants there will be nobody to
pntronize Melin. who must then close
out at ROckefeller's price. Rookie
feller's many purchases have had
their effect on Melin, whose business
has dwiRdled until he is losing money
