Goes to Portland.

The cabin used by President Roose-
velt In North Dakota. during the time
lie was pursuing his career as Il deputy
sheriff and stoclSman, will be brought
to Portland from St Louis, where it
was on exhibition, for the Lewis and
Clark exposition.
Considering that in Il Short few years.
PRESIDENT Roosevelt, tho then unas-
suming young stocl<man. has changed
MS abode from IL crudely constructed
log cabin situated in the heart of
North Dakota, to the palatial White
House at Washington, this exhibit
should arouse unusual interest among
the visitors to the Lewis and Clark
Centennial
Tho North Dakota appropriation
now amounts to over $50, 900, and as
the exhibit is being steadily increased,
1t bids fair to snrpass any Of the state
displays Several excursions will be
run to Portland from North Dakota,
and the state commits on is striving to
have the number of visitors registered
from that state by the turnsitlcs equal
ii not exceed, all others. AS soon as is
practicable, the Roosevelt cabin will be
shipped in parts from st. Louis,
and erected at the ut the Lewis aud

LEADS KANSAS FIGHT
GOV. HocH,s CRUSADE AGAINST
STANDARD OF COMPANY.
Executive Declares State Only Wants
Fair Play and Seeks No Injus-
tics-Re6nery Bill Plain
Business.

Topeka, Kan.-Gov. Hoch, . county
editor with high ideals. elected to the
governorship last November, began the
big fight now on between the state Of,
Kausas and the Standard OIL company.
He started 1t in his message by asking
the legislature to establish a state re-
finery. This he followed with q speech
demanding that the Standard company
be "throttled." Then came charges in
the newspapers of attempted bribery of
legislators. Recently the Standard COM
pany. announced it would accept no more
oil from the Kansas fields. This, in
stead of bringing the state to time"
seems to have had the effect of uniting
the people on the project for a refinery
to be owned by the state.
The legislature took up the war begun
by Hoch and made an appropriation
for state refinery with capacity of
2.G00 barrels day. Gov. Hoch's record
and convictions insure fair trial oft
state refinery enterprise. He is close
to the people and has just entered Office
free from corporation attachments and
even from obligations to a political ma
chine.
Gov. Hoch's chief concern in connec-
ton with the crusade against the Stand
ard Oil company is to make it clear that
the state refinery project is not the re-
suit of socialistic outbreak in Kansas.
He insists that it was not the outcome
of desire on the part of the state to
go into the Oil business. but that the
action was taken because it appeared to
be the most effective way of destroying
a monopoly pa
These are new times. and we are
confronted by new problems" he says,

public and she can view with compla-
cency the coming of even such potent
personality as Mrs. Fairbanks. The con-
junction will only mean that the social
participation of the two women will rem
der the second Roosevelt administration
one of the most brilliant, Intellectually
and socially, in our national history.
Mrs. Fairbanks will not for the first
time come out prominently before the
president. She was prominent as the
wife of a United States senator, and she
has been conspicuous figure in national
affairs since she came here, almost IL
years ago. But her proposed course,
now that she will be the second lady of
the land, is of intense interest to women
from Maine to California and from the
Canadian boundaries to the gulf. AS
president general of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, Mrs. Fair
banks has, perhaps, the widest acquaint-
ance with the American public possessed
by any woman in official life, not ex-
cepting the wife of the president. She
has held the supreme Office of this pa
triotic organization for four years, and
she will be the first president general to
leave the society without having created
factions in it's ranks.
Mrs. Fairbanks is a type of woman
who does things. rather than one who
announces many projects in advance of
action. People can only surmise that she
10 Mt iorr, frN,r
the assiduousness with which she has
attended to every social duty since her
husbands election. Mrs Fairbanks will
have an advantage over Mrs. Roosevelt
in that the greater latitude is allowed
the wife of the vice president, whereas
the wife of the president is hedged in
with innumerable traditions and re-
strictions
1t is not generally known that Mrs.
Fairbanks holds three collegiate de-
grees. She graduated from the Ohio
Wesleyan university, at Delaware o..
in 1872, in the same class with her gifted
husband. She was married to him few
days afterward and at once began the
study of law, also with her husband as
classmate. She received the degree of
bachelor of laws and afterward took
full course of international and parlia-
mentary law at the Western Reserve
university, of Ohio. During the in
fancy of her children. Mrs. Fairbanks
studied medicine, and one of the most
charming traits of her character is her
sympathy and generous aid to sick and
ailing children and old people. 1t only
remains to be said that in spite Of these
varied accomplishments the coming
second lady of the land is one of the
gentlest and most lovable of women and
is infinitely removed from the type
known as the strong-minded or the club
frequenting woman.

Senator Reads Dime Novels.

Senator Plat, Of Connecticut, belongs
to the dime novel reading class of SEN
ators. Like the late Senator Hoar, Of
Massachusetts,, he often seeks mental
relaxation in reading the yellow backed
thrillers. One night not long since
Mr.. Plat was unable to sleep. Finally
he rang for bellboy and told him to
go to the. room of Secretary of Com
MERGE Metcalf, who lives on the floor
below Senator Platt, at the Arlington
hotel. "Ask him for some dime novels"
said the senator. In few minutes the
boy returned with several choice pieces
of literature, among them being "Ante-
lope Abe, the Awful, Antagonistical, An
initiating Avenger Of Alvarado, Ari-
zona.'' Another was called "Diamcad
Dick, the Daring Demon Dead Shot De-
tective." A few chapters from these
intellectual works had the desired effect

A Bad Buck.

A travelling man mounted way
freight at Grafton to go to Bathgate.
Some switching was done, and at last
the entire train got under way. A
section laborer s.ood by the track, and
the travelling man who was on the
steps of the caboosc, undertook to stir
the laborer up IL little. ''Get to work! r.
he shouted, you slaI-sided. orncry
critter!' And a volume of choice cpl
thets poured from his mouth. The
laborer stared with surprise, and then
began to dance with anger. Then an
awful thing happened. The train
slowed down and stopped, and during
the fifteen minutes that elapsed before
it started there was as pretty an OBJ

Reign with Helpmeet of

W0shingtOn.-Mrs. Charles w. Fair

president of the United States will mark
an epoch in the social annals of the ma
tional capital. The reign of two such
women as Mrs Theodore Roosevelt and
Mrs. Fairbanks is without parallel. To
express the situation in few words. 1t
is the case of rival moons shining in
the social armament. 1t is all in vain
that the friends of both these distin-
suished women repudiate the idea OF
rivalry. The fact that one is the wife

1T is not socialistic,' says the gov
ernor, referring to the state refinery
project. "but the reverse Oft.
The state refinery and the supple
mentary laws that have been enacted
will promote competition. We are not
trying to drive the Standard Oil company
out of the state Or to deprive 1t of legit-
innate profits No one denies the right
of the Standard Oil company to own Oil
properties or to deal in oils. This COM
pany has invested vast sums of money
in Kansas, and certainly no one has OBJ
jected to these Investments. They are
entitled to the projections accorded to all
other investments. 1t is not the pos
session and exercise of these property
rights, but the abuse of them, to which
objection is made.
!. 1T is an attempt to compel the Stand
ard TO treat the state fairly. These new
laws will safeguard Investments in oil
property in this state. They will pro-
mote the erection of refineries. The
state is not seeking monopoly. Its
object is to make possible competition,
which has been stifled by existing con-
ditions.
The fight Kansas is making is fight
for fair playa fight to restore COM
petition and to relieve great and grow
ing industry from the grasp of Industrial
despotism. We hope to prove by actual
demonstration that the Standard Oil
company has robbed the oil producers
on one hand and the consumer on the
other. BY engaging in this battle as
state we hope. first, to encourage the
location Of independent refneries, and,
second, to enlist other states and the
general government in the battle against
monopolistic tyranny. The proposed
state refinery is simply a means to an
end. and not the end itself.
when these good conditions have
been made permanent the state will not
only be willing, but will be glad to re-
tire from the refining of oil and leave
that, as well rs other lines of industry,
in the hands of private competitors,
where it legitimately belongs, but where
it is now impossible on account Of the
greatest socialistic corporation now do
ing business on earth, the Standard Oil
company"
