Forest Grove, Or. July IA
Forest Grove narrowly escaped a
great catastrophe Friday night
about 10 o'clock, when the tele-
phone line got crossed with the troll
ley wire of the new electric car line,
thus sending over $50 volts over
the telephone wire, burning out
the switch and fuse board at CEN
trail, setting the Office aGre in pla
ces, raising havoc with over 500
private phones, starting a blaze in
Schultz's butcher shop and raising
a great disturbances in general.
The rope holding the trolley arm
down and In place became detach-
ed. The arm flew up and caught
on to the telephone linz, which
crosses the trolley wire in front of
McNamer's butcher shop. This
tore the phone wires from the ;nsu.
lators and brought them in direct
contact with the entire voltage re-

mess and didn't think about rip

have prevented most of the dam
age, but instead turned the hose on
the burning switch and insulation
and caused a continuous current
over the whole affair, as water is a
good conductor Of electricity. The
water covered the Office floor and

Manila, July 23,-A detachment

on the Island OF Leyte, yesterday
morning. Lieutenant Worswick,

. Los Angeles, July 20.-Sacrifice
by fire is the latest symptom of fa-
naticism, of which the Holy Rollers
have given evidence. Immolation
of the oldest children is the pro-
gram, unless the authorities inter-
fere. This extreme manifestation
of religious frenzy has aroused the
little town of Monrovia to degree
that Marshal Miller has made it bis
business t. attend the meetings of
the sect every afternoon and eve
ming, not knowing in what form
the frenzy will break out next.
Neighborhood gossip has stirred
the townspeople because of the ru-
mors that the eldest children
of certain families of the faithful are
being segregated to 60 through an
ordeal of purity, later to be paschal
lambs of slaughter.
A wave of Holy Rollerism has
swept along the Pacific coat, but It
remained for Monrovia to reach the
radical stage. Two of the best.
known adherents of the faith are
known to have kept their oldest
children locked up at the home for
some time, and out of this has
grown the story that sacrifice of
children will happen if the author
tiles do not stop the fanatic ele-
ment.
Laet night the sermon CT Evan
gelist Cook advocated self-immalu-
ton by fire. He said that it was a

to make himself a. living sacrifice

4 Triumph of Injustice.

The refusal of Governor Stokes to
recognize the certificate of Sheriff
Charles Il. Close, declared on a re-
count under the supervision of a sd
preme court justice TO be the legally
elected sheriff of Monmouth county,
is characterized by the Long Branch
Record as "a triumph of justice.
The Record, commenting upon the
governors action, says it means THAT
Sheriff Francis will serve out his
three years term"
The Records idea Of "a triumph of
justice" is strangely perverted. The
justice of permitting a politician to
hold his Office for a full term after n
supreme court judge has held, under
the law, that he is not legally entitled
to it, is the justice that a political
machine may be expected to laud, but
which the people will never endorse.
We have a belief, however, that
perhaps Francis wont hold this Office
for the fun term of three years.
There's many a slip between the cup
and the lip, even though a complais-
ant governor is conveniently thrown
into the breach.-Asbury Park Press.

try attractive only to the enterpris-
ing, energetic and fearless of all ma
tons, and the result was an aggrega-
ton of people of a comparatively
high grade. Certain races predomi-
mated, but this description applied
generally to all. Working together,
these representatives of many races
produced an American type of hui
manity and civilization; they also
produced success. The laws and Gus
toms were distinctive and SatiSfac-
tory. The immigrants attracted by
American conditions during the first
century were of a higher class than
the average which has prevailed dur
ing the last half century, and espe-
cially during the last twenty years,
during which the steamship cOmpan-
les have taken charge of the immigra-
ton business, and by hopper and pipe
line methods have drawn from the
substrata of foreign nations instead
of %decanting from the top.
The numbers now coming in a
constant current are forming aggre-
cations of aliens in all populous cen
ters, and these are affecting local
habits and transitions, and affecting
them as a rule i%niuriously.
Some means should be devised to
insure the distribution of the aliens
and thus provide for their assimila-
ton. 1t is not good for the nation,
nor is it good for the aliens, that they
form colonies, using their native Ian
guage, retaining their foreign hab-
it's and acquiring the right of Ameri-
can citizens to reduce the scale of
living and water American habits and
customs.-Jersey City Journal.

Influence on

SATURDAY, APRIL Fl.
By HERBERT s. HADLEY. Attorney
General of Missouri

N EHIND the political boss is the industrial boss, the captain
EsAG of industry If you will search for an explanation as to
how and why it was that the city council or state legislature
%~ has been bribed, you will, in the great majority of cases,
find that some business interest has been seeking some
SPECIAL PRIVILEGE OR DISHONEST ADVANTAGE which
it could not secure by the honest Judgment of the representatives of
the people.
The explanation of the unfair railroad freight rate, the midnight
tariff, the drawback or rebate, is that some commercial interest repre-
sents Il power and an influence in our industrial life strong enough to
demand AND SECURE such unlawful privileges.
To my mind the vital problem that confronts the American people
today is the question as to whether these great commercial enterprises
can CONTINUE in open defiance and violation of the laws of the
nation and the state.
1t IS q conservative statement, fully sustained by the investigations
of those familiar with our economic conditions, that a large portion,
if not the greater portion, of the trade and commerce of this country
is controlled by corporate interests WHICH ARE UNLAWFUL
either in the plan of their organization or in the method in which their
business is conducted. j
| do not believe that such conditions a continue to exist in our
national life. l do not believe that our industrial and commercial sys-
tenn will be overthrow or destroyed. 1 do not believe that Socialism
OR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP offers a solution o a remedy.
But l do believe that our industrial system cannot continue to exist
HALF LAWFUL, HALE Ibelieve that the Amer
lean people will see to it that the unlawful shall cease and conform
itself to those laws which represent the experience of centuries and
the moral judgment of 100000 people. (
And I believe that this will be accomplished as the result of
an aroused public sentiment AND CONSCIENCE which will re-
quire that men who would be respectable must be honest; that those
who would be respected by others must respect the rights of others,
which will require that lawyers cease to be accessories to violations of
the law and be true to the principles and the traditions of their profess
sion, which will require that courts shall learn that time is the essence
of litigation and cease to place THE FORM ABOVE THE SUB
STANCE and the method above the right. ~-4-.- ~--~-~.w.. -
In the solution and the settlement of these great questions Missouri
will endeNyor to do her part. She will proceed without prejudice
AND WITHOUT PASSION. She will proceed with caution and
deiberation. e.
AND SHE WILL PROCEED IN SUCH A WAY THAT NO ONE
CAN TRUTHFULLY SAY THAT WITHIN HER DOMAIN A SINGLE
DOLLAR INVESTED IN AN HONEST BUSINESS ENTERPRISE HAS
SUFFERED DlMlNUTIoN IN ITS VALUE OR THAT AuaAT OF
PREJUDICE AGAINST WEALTH, AS SUCH, DIRECTS HER ACTIONS.

"LEADER"sTRONG's REPLY.

tftN p. H..
Senator Strong, the republican boss
of Middlesex county, has replied to
Mr.. Fordyce's announcement of his
canaiaaqTo state senator and in
an attack upon the Dayton man he
accuses him of lots of things, and in
cidentally let's it be known that he
has selected Senator Jackson as the
machine candidate for the nomina-
ton. This is interesting. II is prac-
tically an announcement that the
people need not go to the primaries
this fall to send delegates to a
ty convention as the party leader
has already selected at least II man
who is to run on the republican ticket
Aand it may be taken for granted that
the rest of the slate will be arranged
by the leader" so that all the dele
gates will have to do is to carry out
the letter of the law by going through
the forms of a convention. the men
named by the Header" will be nomi-
mated according to program. the
ring papers will tell about the great
republican harmony and all will be
well.
At least. it would be well for the
machine if the people would not both
err about choosing their own dele
gates, naming their own candidates
and having men in the assembly who
will represent them and not the party
bosses who are controlled by the big
corporations. But this is the year
when the people come into their own
in Middlesex. IT is not for a party
boss or Header" or II other one
person to say who shall be the candi-
dates. 1t is for the people to say.
BY Senator Strong's statement pub
lished today he lets it be known that
he has chosen Senator Jackson for
his candidate. What are the people
going to do about it.? It is mp to the
citizens. Are you going TO let one
man run the county and nominate its
representatives to suit himself, or are
o. going to claim that right which
the constitution gives TO every citizen
of this country and be your own
boss? Mr.. Fordyce looks to mo- man
for his nomination. He appeals di-
rect to the people. 1t is up to them.
Senator Strong, in his attack on
the young mar from Dayton, quotes
the state constitution, Evidently he
has been studying that document
since his bad break owe the assem-
bly, districts in which ne attempted to
