FRIDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1905
CONGRESS IN THE LIMELIGur.


For several years past there has been
q growing conviction among the people
OF the United States that their Senators
md Representatives. in Congress are
engaged more OF less openly in the ser
vice OF Two masters, and that of the two
they care far less for the wishes and the
interests OF their constituents thnn
for powerful private or corporation
interest.
When a man draws 5000 Il year from
the United States and $4,000 a year
from some company that is very se-
riously interested in matters that are
frequently presented for Congressional
consideration, il is not difficult to decide
in what way his vote will he influenced,
for even though he may make an effort
to be impartial. it is sure that no really
honest and honorable man would accept
a public position OF this kind and at the
same time continue to receive n salary
or fees from a company that has Il
direct financial interest III pending
legislation.
Tho coming debate and vote on the
railway rate bill will give the people of
the United States a better opportunity
than they have had for many years to line
up their Senators md Representatives,
and to identify them as belonging
among the corporation attorneys or ms
among the representatives Of the people.
1t Is already evident that lie division
on tie railway rate bill will not be
along party lines, and some Of the
Democratic newspapers are going go far
as to assert that President Roosevelt
will get "a larger measure OF support
from the Democrats in Congress than
he will from the members OF his Own
party. But however that may be, the
division Will run across party lines, and
the corporation Democrats and the cor
IoratlOn Republicans will stand to-
Gethcr i'll opposition to the united for Gee
OF those Republicans and those Demo.
Gratis That believe TINT the corporations
have assumed aud are nov exercising
too much power that properly belongs
only to tho Government, that il to say to
the representatives Of the people.
The struggle in Congress over the
rate bill Will be watched w7th greg.
interest by the people Of every State.
for all tho people are directly concerned
in its OUTCOME, and they will not fail
to approve or to condemn their Senators
and Representatives, in accordance with
their position for Or against the priu.

THE HLooDLESs SENATE.

The following from the East Oregon
ian scores the United States Senate for
its failure to honor the memory oil
Senator Mitchell and expresses the cs-
TEEN in which he was held by the people
OF Oregon:
Engaged in it, selfish ana secret cor
r%uptions, the blooiIess United States
senate will not take time to honor the
memory % Senator John II. Mitchell,
although he served with that body for
almost IA quarter OF Il century and Wis
one Of the most active and aggressive
members during all his long career.
But because misfortune came to the
old man at the last, and a cloud
Swallowed his official life. this aristo-
cratic, Phari-aical cotcric Of bIoodlcss
politicians and pIutocrats, refuses to
homer his memory, and will take notice
Of his death, which rs "A natioral sorrow.

Mitchell was Il sa'nt compared to
dozens Of raIcals o serving in the

man, although he had opportunities for
making money in all kinds Of ill"giti-
mate ways which were thrust upon him.
Others who now aroru to take official
notice OF his death are rich beyond com
pution, through the most illgrant,
b]loOdless and corrupt methods of legal
robbery, which they. as officials and
servants Of the people have planned
with skillful dishonesty and duPlicity.
Living Mitchell WINS the peer Of any Of
them. lie was "A power which they
respected and an equal to whom they
paid their fawniug courtcsics; but dead
he is officially snubbcd by the cyclists,
many Of them who are unworthy to tic
his shoe lace.
There is nothing human in the United
States senate. 1t is drifting farther and
farther away from the common people
and the practices Of Common lie. Be-
forc the masses know it they will be

dcities 1t refuses to bend from it's
cOldly selfish dcmcanur to observe even
one Of ;ho comnoncst dcrrucics in life.
Mitchell docs not require the official
recognition % the SENATE to complete
his life. But it is n misfortune that

courtesy to a dead statesman are not
