Senator LaFollette is not a man
who talks at randum. When he says
a thing he believes 1t, and means it.
His Willingness to appear as a wit
ness and give testimony before the
state railroad and warehouse COM
mission. which is holding a hearing
in st. Paul, is characteristic of the
man. He claims to have testimony
to support the contention of the at
torney of the shippers that funds to
defeat him in Wisconsin were FORM
ed out of the gross earnings of the
railroad companies. The people of
Wisconsin have gone on record as
repudiating such interference in their
affairs and the testimony thus far
seems to support such contention.
LaFollette is one of the best of the
fast growing leaders of the people who
are in open and bold revolt against
corporate crimes and corruption.

least cost. President Roosevelt has
met with bitter opposition in his every
step to regulate the railroads, from in
fluential members of his own party.
AS long as the paid Hobbies of the
trusts can handle the national Leg
islators, there will be no regulation.
The only remedy is in the government
taking over the entire transportation
interests of the country. The gov
ernment, through scheming polite
ians, capitalized and built the roads
and then delivered them to the cor
porations, Certainly the same gov
eminent can provide for re-pur-
chase of the roads. How will the
Panama canal be paid for? How
does the construction of a canal high
way BY the government differ from
government owned railroad high
ways?

LONDON'S GILDED YOUTH.

The gilded youth of London repre-
sent class which has received far
too little attention from sordid-minded
people. These young men are usually
sons of very wealthy people. Their
whole and only object in life is never
to do a stroke of work; work to them
is undignified and, must be utterly
tabooed, and they must also spend as
much money as possible in enjoying
life.
An income of $4,000 a year is con-
sidered scarcely sufficient on which to
maintain real respectability, though
some Of them manage to pinch along
on this sum. Incomes ranging from
$40, 900 to $4,000 to 100000 and
even 100000 a year are enjoyed by
large number of the gilded youth.
1t must be said that the London
Johnnie" is, as a rule, manly, and
often turns out we'll after wasting q
few years In betting, gambling, haunt
ing stage doors and entertaining sup
per parties. Your gilded youth mus'
| have its chambers in town, usually ir
or off Piccadilly, must be a member
of two or three Of the best Londor
clubs and keep his motors, horses ant

IRRIGATION IN WILLAMETTE.

The Eugene Guard says of the ir,
rigation experiments being conducted
hy y. P. Stover near that city:
Uncle Sam. through his representa-.
tive. Albert L. Slower. of the irriga.
tion department of the department OF
agriculture, has selected site near
Eugene for experiment purpose of a
trial of irrigation in this valley.
Recently the government set aside
an appropriation for irrigation pur-
poses in the Willamette valley, and
early this morning Mr.. Slower, accom-
panied by $. II. Hensill, A. C. Wood
cock, y. d. Hensill and a Guard rep
resentative,, looked over the proposed
site at the Rossman rapids. near this
city
An investigation of the matter clear
ly demonstrated that the site was an
ideal one, as water could be, taken
by ditch from the river to the top of
the bank Within a distance of a mile
and the effects of irrigation could be
noted on both prairie and bottom
land.
Mr.. StOver was especially elated
over the site and agreed that the
government would unite with the
farmer and make an experiment sta
tion of this place. Mr.. Hensill, who
is an aggressive irrigationist, in be-
half of the country affected agreed to
Mr.. Stoyer's proposition.
The water as proposed will be taken
from the Rossman rapids, northwest
of the Hensill farm, and If the ex-
pertinent proves a success, which 1t
undoubtedly will, it will eventually
mean. that the river water will be
poured over thousands of acres of
land betw cen Eugene and Junction,
adding untold wealth to Eugene and
Lane county.
Mr.. Stover left this afternoon for
Corvilis, but will return to Eugene in
the near future to finish details for
the scheme. Work on the project
will commence early in the spring
and be completed in time for ex-
pertinent work next year.

DESERTER GOES HOME.

A touching story of human interest
comes from La Grande. 1t gives the
account of the desertion of his fam
lily by man named George Clark, in
Salt Lake City % years ago. of the
deserter's wandering and final set
tlement in Wallowa county, of his
ultimate Illness and then of the loca-
ton of his grown-up family and his
rescue from the poor house by his
daughter, who had grown to woman
hood during his absence, in which he
had never written a word home nor
supported his family in any way
The La Grande Observer says of
the incident:
In 1888, George Clark of Salt Lake
City, deserted as fine a family as was
ever claimed by any one. and came
north, locating in Wallowa county.
For nearly % years he has been n
mystery to his acquaintances in that
country. Going and coming, but gen.
orally working at various vocations,
he managed to keep his employers
and others in constant wonder as to
where he came from.
About six weeks ago Clark was
seized with paralysis and being out
Of funds he made public charge.
Immediately after being turned over
to the county, the officials persuaded
the man to tell where his relatives
lived
Finally after much reluctance he
gave the name Of his wife and family
in Salt Lake City. kilograms to that
city brought Clark's daughter, Miss
Emma Salpert here last week and
going to Enterprise she identified
Clark as her father. He was COM
pletely overcome when her presence
was made known.
Regardless of the fact that he

Under the plan of representation
which has been adopted, the gover-
nor of each state and territory may
appoint 10 delegates and not more
than 20.
TIE mayor of each city may name

cceding 10 delegates altogether.

states give the occasion increased dig
nifty and importance.
The week of holiday begun today
means more than period Of relaNa-
tion and pleasure-though that itself
is AN element of value of hard-worl-
ing and tired folk. 1t means also the
setting forth of what has been done
and is being done in this corner OF the
world, and gives one a clear and COM
prehenslve view of the great and
varied interests centered here in their
progress side by side.
It seems safe to say that agriculture
il its different phases has benefited
greatly by the exchange of methods
and results shown at this fair and in
improving the relationship existing
between men in the business.

The voice of the home people is
general and earnest that the visitors

time. that they may find companion

SPEED THE DAY.

Corruption in our politics. in our
business life, in our social relations,
has grown so great; the influence of
wealth, however obtained. so power
full; the respect for successful men,
on whatever rungs they have mounted
to success. SO instilled into the feel
ings OF the masses. that when their
disgust comes, and their contempt and
wrath the exhibition of the scattered
carcasses of this rotten system will
delight for a generation the vultures
which have so long been craving such
a feast.
The American heart has all along
been in the right place. It has too
often and for too long been too pa
tient and too lenient. 1t is time for
the American mind to talk to this
heat and the one protecting the
other, the other sustaining the one
then there will come a dawn of the
DAYS when as in the immortal paper
of the fathers of the republic, it was
written Of all men that they are
equal.
An equality of opportunity is the
basis of republicanism; an equality
of the enjoyment of honestly earned
pleasures are its crowning glory.
Ring down the curtain on public
vice, corporate corruption and politl-
cal subserviency; ring up another
curtain on another stage, where civic
righteousness will occupy the center
Of the group of political and CONNER
cial graces, and by its side will be
popular respect for right
Such a consummation may be ideal
beyond the probabilities of our pres
ent civilization, but in the proportion
that the principles behind 1t Obtain
general respect, will the republic be
better and the people happier.

knew her story.
The story is perhaps without prece-

THE FAIR SPIRIT.

The Lewiston Tribune expresses a
sentiment about county fairs which
has been sincerely expressed by the
East oregonian many times in the
past few months.
The Tribune places the social and
educational features of the county fair
above all others, and in an Interesting
editorial on the subject says:
We, Of lewiston Charleston, think
we are building up here one Of the
most valuable and popular institutions
Of the two states in our county fair.
1t is a work Of which all have lent the
aid Of their hands heartily and cheer
fully--some with money, others with
service and those who have given the
best of their products; the visitors
