"ANARCuN."

A Syracuse educator, subsidized by
a million-dollar donation from Stand
ard oil to his university, has been
calling President Roosevelt an anar-
chist.
1t is a hard name.
But million-dollar subsidy natur-
ally calls for great energy.
The president, declares Chancellor
Day, has attacked corporate and pri-
vate business, has attempted to in
timidate courts and has dragooned
the senate.
The charge that President Roose-
vel; is an anarchist is remarkable in
that it comes only from a man with a
million-dollar contribution. 1t is re-
markable further in that it can gain
acceptance only from other men who
in one way or another have had their
intelligence and patriotism corrupted
by standard Oil money
There is no denying that there is
anarchy in this country. But it is
never found seeking to enforce the
law.
Anarchy is detestation of law.
The clearest type of it is Standard
Oil itself which owes its very existence
to its contempt for and defiance of
the law
The giant trust is anarchy and the
father of anarchy. The men with
billions, like the men with bombs,
recognize no law but might.
The only, remedy is the law. States
have sought in vain to apply it. But
the power of the trust is greater than
the power of any state. It is greater
than any power except that of the
nation.
1t is complained that President
Roosevelt should have left the prob
lens presented by the Standard oil
evasion of the law entirely
to the grand juries to settle. AS if
any grand jury in any court could
seize and overthrow such a giant as
this most ingenious interstate con-
spiracy constitutes! AS if countless
grand juries have not attempted it
and failed!
There is anarchy indeed, powerful
and insolent. But it is not in the
White House. a. -.s

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The Oregon state grange has spo-
ken plainly for radical changes in the
laws of the state. 1t demands an i'm
perative mandate law. by which dis
honest officials may be recalled from
office at once, by the people, and, it
also asks for tn redistricting of the
state into legislative districts, regard
less of counties, thus removing selfish
and local interests, largely, from the
legislature.
These two reforms would improve
conditions in Oregon as much, per-
haps, as any other laws which could
be adopted. The knowledge that the
people might recall an official for
dishonesty or treachery, would go a
long way toward cleansing public
service and forcing from politicians a
recognition of honesty and decency in
office
The redistricting Of the state into
districts. regardless Of county lines,
would largely remove local questions
and issues from the legislative ses-
sions. Much of the valuable time OF
the legislature is taken up by private
matters pertaining strictly to cities
and counties which might be much
more satisfactorily settled out Of the
legislature.
This expression from the state
grange may be taken as an expression
from the SO, 900 farmers Of Oregon.
The grange is not political, but econ
omic, and It seeks, not the elevation
of any man or set Of men, but to i'm
prove conditions in Oregon on lines
Of non-partisan action and spirit
If, by wise laws, the grange can re-

PAYROLL IN SIGHT.

If the Hartman system builds the
Pilot Rock railway and extends two
branch lines into the timber belt as it
is announced will be done, it means
a sawmill for Pendleton of capacity
of 10000 feet daily.
This means the employment of 200
men in such enterprise. These
men will bring families 20 the city,
will own homes, spend their wages
largely in the city, rent and build
houses, fill up schools, increase church
memberships and Sunday school
classes, add to the strength and sup
port of the city, and, taken altogether
it is one of the brightest dreams of
the immediate future for Pendleton.
The East Oregonian urges the i'm
mediate construction of this road. 1t
will be a paying enterprise. 1t can
be operated at very small cost. The
facilities in this city can handle the
branch line business without a very
great outlay for extensions and it is
due that rich section of the state that
it be supplied with better commune
cation with the outside world.
The East Oregonian will take hol-
iday when the first shovel of dirt is
thrown on the PendIeton-Pilot Rock
grade.

COST OF \ MERGER

The property losses at San Fran
cisco are estimated roughly at $780,
900, 900. This is equivalent to half the
water in the capitalization Of the New
York traction merger.
In the process Of replacing their
losses the people of San Francisco
must pay interest indefinitely upon
5000, 100000, just as the people OF
New York must pay interest indefin-
itely upon 100000 900 of water in
the traction capitalization. The earth
quake losses impose tax upon the
industry of San Francisco, just as the
traction water imposes tax upon the
industry of New York.
AS a financial burden upon the
community, one New York merger is
apparently equal to two San Francisco
earthquakes.-New York World.

A LOVERS SONG.

Who has robbed the ocean cave,
To tinge thy lips with coral hue?
Who srom India's distant wave
For thee those pearly treasures
drew?
Who from yonder orient sky
Stole the morning of thine eye?
Thousand charms, thy form to deck,
From sea, and earth, and air are
torn;
Roses bloom upon thy cheek,
On thy breath their fragrance
borne.
Guard thy bosom from the day,
Lest thy SHOWS should melt away.
But one charm remains behind,
Which mute earth can ne'er impart;
Nor in ocean wilt thou find,
Nor in the circling air, a heart,
Fairest! wouldsr thou perfect be,
Take, oh, take that heart from me.
-Jephtha Shaw.

HoAR.s FAvORITE AUTHOR.

The late Senator Hoar, rather
against his win, once found himself
at sort of literary reception. Mem
bers of reading clubs, Browning so
cieties and similar earnest folk were
thick about him. The senator bore up
well for some time, but was finally
forced to seek relief in his famous
bunch of keys. About this time a
lady of the gusher variety cornered
him and began to talk literature"
"Uh- senator" she chirped, "how
dote on Rossetn. Browning, OF
course, I love. and IN prose Walter
Prater, but always I find myself re-
turning to Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
Tell me, senator, who is your favoritc
author?"
"Bill Nye,' came the answer, with
quick twirl of the keys.-Boston
Herald.

Justice Haley of the supreme court
is the first and only member of that
court from eastern Oregon. His ap-
poirtment was generally approved by
the bar and the people of the state,
and his services upon the bench have
been satisfactory, and it is justly due
to him and eastern Oregon from
whence he. came, that he should be
continued upon the bench.

Senatorial Grand Dukes
of America.

Ernest Crosby, the brilliant Ameri-
can writer ON economics, contributes
the following interesting article to
the Cosmopolitan ON the senatorial
| Grand Dukes of America:
County Leo Tolstoy some time age
made the statement that the American
president is as much tyrant as the
Russian czar. This is pretty eX-
treme assertion and it is hardly to be
wondered at that many people
thought it proved that the Muscovite
writer was in his dotage. or at least
that he was totally ignorant of his
tory.
The Russian bear is of course a
beast of prey but we Are not accus-
in the same role.
And yet, as is often the case with
| Tolstoy's apparent exaggerations
there is a grain of truth in his re-
mark. There is nothing of the tyrant
in the personality of the president
but neither is there anything of the
kind in the czar. He is quiet, do
| mestic sort of a man. who would like
to be let alone. Most OF the acts of
performed in spite of him. His fault
is that he happens to be the chief of
a tyrannous and oppressive system
which parayzes such desires to do
right as he may cherish. Clearly
what Count Tolstoy meant to say was
that cZar and president are alike the
figureheads of systems which involve
the evils of tyranny.
Before we can quash this Indictment
we must inquire what the essentials
of tyranny are. People are tyrannized
over when their interests are sacri-
ficed to those of their rulers. Apply
ing this test, can we trutffuly say
that our American system of govern
ing is free from all imputation of tyr
amy? Do not the interests of the
great trusts as surely override those
OF the people at Washington as do
tersburg?
In whose interest is it that the
American people should have to pay
half as much again for steel rails as
foreigners pay for them? Is it in
their interest, or In that of the steel
trust? And If the government refuses
to grant relief in this respect to the
American people, and to modify the
tariff for their benefit-and this at
the behest of the steel trust-are we
not suffering from tyranny as truly
as the. Russian peasant? And so with
our exorbitant telegraph and tele-
phone charges. They are the fruits
of the tyranny of a monopoly-con-
trolled government.
And just as tine cars hands are
tied, when he elIdeavors to Introduce
reforms, so are the presidents. What
has become of the reciprocity treaties
with which President Mckinley in
tended to open the way for tariff re-
vision? Ask the grand dukes Of the
senate. Why are Mr.. Roosevelt's. ef
forts to prevent the building up Of
trusts by railway rebates cmascu-
lated? Ask the same ring OF sena-
torial highnesses. 1t is proposed at
st. Petersburg to clean out the palace
and its selfish and corrupt cliques, so
that reforms, may have chance of
success. We must do something Of
the same kind at Washington! The
senate must no longer be allowed to
block the way of every promising
measure of relief Senators consult
the interests of the trusts because they
are chosen by the trusts. Perhaps
they would consult the interests of the
people, If they were elected by the
people.
