IHERATt BILL.

The Democratic leaders have, for
the last several years, demanded ma
tionaI legislation regulating rail-
roads while the masses Of the peo-
pie, Republican and Democrat alike,
took up the cry and the demand for
relief from existing conditions be
came so universal that even the G..
%. p, or that faction represented by
President Roosevelt. decided that it
was a good thing to further the
strenuous ones interests. And at
the converting of this session of Con-
gross, the President became an &C
tive advocate for railroad reform.
AT the time the President took up
this Democratic battle cry he prob
ably believed himself sincere in his
desire to furnish that medium Of re-
lief demanded by the people, but
subsequent events have proved hat
he is not the man that his friends
claimed that he was. lie is not the
aIl-powerful, infaIlible. On the con-
trary, he is very human and is eth
cr suiect to radical change Of mind
or goes upon the theory that a sol
der should obey orders eminating
from his superiors, for that he has
obeyed the dictates of the trusts
there is no question. President
Roosevelt is a man in whom the peo-
pie of the country had probably
more faith than any other public
official, but the recent expose Of Mr..
and the denunciation Of Mr..
Bailey-these gentlemen making
charges that the President has not
satisfactorily answered. placed
him in a most ludicrous position be-
fore the World-he Is a humillatlng
spectacle.
After taking up the trail and, led
by Democratic statesmen, Mr.. Roose-
welt, when he had the fight practical
jy won for railroad reform, yielded
to the mandates Of the Senators,
known as representatives Of the ''in-
terosts,' and the rate bill passed by
the Senate Friday is a reform meas
IRE in name only, as it was so
amended as to meet the approval of
the railroads, and the people can eX-
pect little relief through the meas
ure. The Democrats voted for it
because it was, as Senator Iillman
said, the best thing they could get
enough at that.
Mr.. Iillman, in discussing the
measure, said that, but for President
Roosevelt, there would have been no
rate regulation, but that he was not
father Of the idea, which was purely
Democratic, and II tins does not
meet the requirements, a better one
can no DaCcpI

How People Lose Their Money

By concoaling it about their person.
BY hiding it in mugs, jugs and rugs.
By sewing it up in stockings and ticks.
By hurying it in cans and putting ttany old place
These are some of the ways in which people
sometimes lose their money and often theirliyes.
Having money boarded up in the house encour-
ages robbery, and this often results in murder.

u. OF 0. GLEE AND
MANDOLIN CLUB
Will Appear at the Opera How Sc
Saturday Night. De-
cember 22nd.

Great interest is being manifested
in Grants Pass in the appearance of
the University Of Oregon Glee and
Mandolin Clubs next Saturday even
ing at the Opera House. From the
time the curtain goes up on the first
number till the end Of the sketch
which closes the program there is
something doing all the time. When
you get 80 college boys together in
concert something has got to hap.
pen and things certainly do happen
in the coming concert. With old col.
lege songs, mandolin music. funny
stunts, killing monologues, solos, late
song hits, and catchy instrumental
music, the audience has no chance for
a breath. The program opens with a
group of two songs to ''Oregon, "
which are sung with all the spirit
and patriotism Of University of Ore
gon Students One of these songs,
Hail to Oregon was composed this
year by Mr.. Henderson Of the club,
and has already become favorite in
the hearts of the boys. The program
then proceeds with Mandolin Club
selections, monologue by Kelly, a
solo by Billy Neal and the Glee Club,
more Mandolin Music, then a solo by
Prof. /. NJ. Glen. This number de-
serves special mention. Prof. Glen
is known all through this part OF the
state on account of his excellent work
in connection with the Chautauquas
at Ashland. His solo will be the
Prologue to Pagliaci, number which
shows off his rich baritone voice in
great style. He will doubtless be
welcomed by his many friends in a
most er thusiastic manner.
Roy Kelly then comes on with a
shriekingly funny monologue. His
work is of the droll sort that takes the
audience by storm. and if you haven Z
had a good hear y laugh lately you
want to hear him Buck" as he is
called among the boys has a grin"
that is irresistible.
The program ends with skerch
portraying scenes in college life. 1t
goes off with snap aud ginger that
only college boys can put into it In
it are introduced all the late song
hits as well as some old college songs
that all the old college people love.
In the sketch also are lot of indi-
vidual stunts by members of the club,
notably Van Dusen, whose work in
magic and as the hypnotist is very
clever.
On the whole the show is a dandy.
II gives you young feeling again
and you take home with you a taste
of real col 'ege life.
Rene nber it's Saturday night, De-
cember %, at the Opsrs House.

he has property. After disposing of
his interests there he will go to Gold
