lied to the trust question. and the re-
duction of the tariff furnishes an easy
means Of limiting the extortion which
the trusts can practice. While absolute
trust impossible, still it is proDaple that
very few manufacturing establishments
would dare to enter into the trust of the
president were empowered to put on the
controlled by a trust. While / shall take
occasion at an early day to consider the
tariff question more at length. l can not
permit this opportunity to pass without
pie empodied in the protective tariff has
been the fruitful source of a great deal
of political corruption, as well as the
support of malS of our most iniquitous
trusts. 1t is difficult to condemn the
manufacturers for uniting to take advan-
| tage of a high tariff schedule, when the
| schedule is framed on the theory that the
Industries need all the protec lion given,
and it is not likely that the beneticiaries
of these schedules will consent to be re-
formed by its friends.
Tariff and Votes.
But one of the worst features of the
avowed purpose Of protection. is that it
fosters the idea that men should use their
votes to advance their W financial inter-
ests. The manufacturer has been assured
the congressman who, whatever theiI
opinions on other subjects may be, will
legislate larger dividends into his pockets;
sheep growers have been encouraged tc
believe that they should nave nc higher
aim in voting than to raise the price OF
wool, and laboring men have been urged
to make their wage their only concern.
Fat Frying.
Fol a generation the fat has beer
fried out of the manufacturers by the re
publican congressional committee, ant
then the manufacturers have been REIN
bursed by Legislation. With the publ
conscience educated to believe that thii
open purchase of legislation was %entirel!
proper, no wonder that insurance. compa
MES have used the money of their polio!
holders to carry elections; no wonder tina
trusts nave FASTENED to purchase i'm
munity from punishment with liberal do
nations. Nor can we draw a moral dis
t%inction between the man who sells hi
vote for five dollars on election day an
the manufacturer who sells his politica
influence for fifty or a undre thousan,
dollars, payable in dividends? How ca
we draw a moral line between the senate
and congressman elected by the trusts t
prevent hostile legislation the senate

tion? The party which justified the on

condemn the other.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.

interviewer With the Trust Question.
The railroad question Is also interviewer
with the trust question. Nearly all the
private m%onopolies lave received rebates,
or secured other advantages over compet-
itors. Absolute equality of treatment at
the hands of the railroads would go far
toward Gripping the trusts, and ! rejoice
that the president has had the courage to
press the question upon congress While
the law, as 1t was finally distorted by the
senate, is not all that could be wished, it
deserves a fair trial.
A New Danger VI
Rate regulation was absolutely neces-
! sary, and 1t furnishes some relief from
the unbearable conditions which previous
" existed; but we must not forget that
the vesting of this enormous power in the
hands of the commission appointed by the
president introduces a new danger II an
appointive board has the power to fix
rates, and can, by the exercise Of that
power. Increase or decrease by hundreds
of millions Of dollars the annual revenues
OF the railroads, will not the railroads
feel that they, have a large pecuniary in

TELEGRAPHERs REUNION.
Several Societies Are in Session al
Washington, d. c.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 9.-The
26th annual reunion of the old-time
Telegraphers' and Historical associa-
tions, and the Society of the United
States Military Telegraph Corps COM
the night of the 11th, when the dele
gates will set down to a sumptuousiy
arranged dejeneur. AS the "Old
Times" number in their ranks many
men who have helped to make Amer
lean history and many women who
have done no small part in making
their mark in telegraphic annals, the
landmarks in the country's advance.
1t should be mentioned that the two
associations hold their annual meeting
at the same time and place, though
their business meetings are held sep
arately.
In connection with the appointment
of Washington as the meeting place II
strikes one as being peculiarly appro-
pirate for was not this city the home
of the telegraph? For this city Prof.
Morse devised, planned, struggled and
finally accomplished his far reaching
work uniting the countries of the
world without dividing line. In
Washington also the telegraphic acts
is the right arm of the government in
times of war and is now considered
the handmade of all business transac-
tions. All honor therefore to the
"Old Timers" who have arranged
ments at this, their annual reunion.
The full program both as regards
business and pleasure was arranged
by william H. Young, manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
and Colonel BILLY" Watson, president
of the Military Tel graph corps.

Arthur C. Aston, Miss Corcoran's
manager, has secured the unrestricted
rights for the United States and Cam
ada, direct from Charles Frohman.
Miss Corcoran has starred for the
past two seasons in Pretty Peggy"
and the splendid impression she made
in the play is bound to bring out a
capacity audience for her here when
she presents her newer vehicle. Miss
Corcoran's leading support will be
James NJ. Brophy, and the balance of
the cast will be one of great excel
lence. The play gives Miss Corcoran
excellent opportunities for her comedy

BOUGHT UNION DEPOT SITE.
$50, 900 Paid by Northern Pacific and
o. II. & n.

Yesterday the Northern Pacific
Railway company paid 100000 for a
site in Lewiston for handsome pas
senger depot that will be built by that
road and the o. r. &c y. company in
handling the traffic through the Lew
iston gateway that will be diverted
here when the joint roads, now be-
ing constructed, are completed, says
the Lewiston Tribune.
The tract secured is known as the
DIR. F. j. Boston property, located on
the north side of East Main street,
opposite the county court house, and
the deal was carried out on a cash
basis
Adds to o. II. & n. Mystery.
The expenditure of 100000 for a
passenger depot site, i'm carrying out
OF the joint construction arrangement,
adds to the mystery OF the move of
the o. r. & NJ, who the past week
placed surveyors along the Clearwa-
ter above Lewiston. There was a
strong inclination on the part Of the
public to believe that the joint con-
struction arrangements had fallen
through and that the o. r. & n. was
proceeding to act. Independently.
1t has at least been positively
learned that the move OF the o. r. &
n. has come as a surprise to the
Northern Pacific. Still the joint con-
struction work proceeds along the
original lines and the action Of the
o. r. & n. seems logically therefore
to relate to issues Independent of
those which resulted in an agreement
for a joint road to settle the Lewis
ton gateway controversy.
Speculation along many lines con-
tinues, with views expressed that the
o. r. & n. is arranging for a branch
to reach the Clearwater timber belt
and for a branch to meet a road that
is to run from Pennington through
the Palouse country to the Clearwater,
connection to be made with. the joint
road near Spalding.
Many also still cling to the view
that the survey now being made will
connect with that run by the Milwau-
kee from Montana to a point near
Peck and that the o. r. & n. will
carry the ned road through Lewiston.

Don't be frightened if, when passing

a harmless phonograph singing Chi
nese songs, and you have no cause to
fear, says the Boise Statesman.
Have you heard any of of the Chi
nese phonograph records If so, did
,the sound crate on your nerves? If
you are one of those who do not like
to hear Chinese music you are up
against a hard proposition, for Boise's
representatives from the Flowery
Kingdom have just commenced to pro-
vide themselves with this form of
amusement and they are taking to it
like ducks to water. Chinese records
are new in Boise. The celestials will
probably never tire of hearing them.
however, and the concerts will con-
tinue to the delight of the Chinks and
to the displeasure of many others.
1t takes from 10 to 20 records to,
make a Chinese song complete and
nearly every song deals with histori-
cal events in the lives of Chinese rul-
ers.

MEEKER AT SIOUX CITY.
Old Pioneer Is Nearing the End of His
Journey.

Ezra Meeker, who is marking the
trail across the continent, has arrived
of Sioux City, Iowa. A dispatch from
that city says:
Starting from the Pacific coast and
driving an OK team, behind which he
hitched wagon, in every detail like
the prairie schooner with which so
many people crossed the Rocky noun
tains in the early sos to seek gold
and homes in the west, Ezra Meeker,
aged 75 years, of Seattle, Wash, has
just completed a return trip to Iowa
and he states that he has stood the
trip SO well that he now proposes to
travel all the way to Ohio and the
east with the same outfit.
After winding his way through and
over the various ranges of mountains
he entered the state of Nebraska last
week. He followed as closely as possi-
BILE The old Oregon trail. From Col
lins, Neb., he followed the North
Platte river to Payne, Ia, on the
Missouri river along exactly the same
road as in the SOS.
The old wagon which he used many
years ago was partly represented on
this trip, for he had made new
wagon from parts of a number of
cast-off wagons. The woodwork was
all new except one locust hub, which
was found 10 be sound, and was a part
of a front wheel. The axles were
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-10-09

wood, and of the same pattern as were
the prairie schooners of so years ago.
Beneath the rear axle hung the ia
miliar pail of tar. 1t is impossible to
use grease on one of these wagons
without finally loosening the spokes
in the wheels so tar is used to pre-
vent this. The wagon bed was made
tight, as were all the wagons of the
old days, and the one Meeker used
served to ford streams several times
The trip of Meeker began February
2, and he was continually on the road.
with the exception of two weeks, when
in Idaho he was held by a mountain
torrent. His oxen were yoked, and
he travelled exactly in the style of the
travellers of so years ago.
