AN OREGON VIEW.
How Democratic Success in the State
Would be Interpreted.

How Democratic Success in the State
Would be Interpreted.
The country is watching Oregon. A
democratic victory here in the June
election will mean several things OF
far more than local Importance
For one thing, it will signify to the
eastern plutocrats that their assaults
upon President Roosevelts ability, mo-
tives and character have profoundly
affected the people of the nation and
that he has forfeited public confidence
For months they have carried on a
systematic propaganda to produce this
effect, and democratic victory in Ore
gon will convince them that they have
succeeded and will hearten them fol-
more vigorous efforts Of the same
kind Readers of certain eastern pa
pers have seen the assertion reiterated
day after day and week after week
that the president is not as popular as
he was year ago. His failure to con-
troll the Senate has weakened his
standing with the nation, it is said
while at the same time these sneering
organs with beautiful consistency
abuse him for seeking to secure the
enactment of the rate bill. A distinct
and definite campaign has been waged
to discredit Mr.. Roosevelt, and demo-
cratic victory in Oregon will be under
stood that ii has succeeded.
Such victory will indicate to the
people of the East that Oregons stands
with Aldrich Standard Oil and the
railroads against the President. How
else could it be interpreted? Mr.
Roosevelt's policy is before the nation
for Judgment. Approval or censure will
be indicated by the result of the cleo
ton. The sentiment of the people is
shown by the way they vote. They
have no other way of showing it. And
if, at critical time like this, they
vote against the party of the President
the meaning can be nothing else thar
that Mr.. Roosevelt himself has offend
ed the country by advocating rate re-
gulation, control of corporations and the
square deal in general. Can any can
Gid man deny this? Will the election OF
democratic candidates express approval
of the President?
1t is idle to say that the June cleo
tioH does not concern the President and
his policy. There are times when To-
cal elections should turn ON local is
sues purely, but this is not one of them
For Oregon to desert the President now
would be as base as for a regiment to
desert it's commander when the fate OF
a battle hangs in doubt 1t is all-im-
portant at this moment to convince the
plutocratic enemies of the President
that the country is with him heart and
soul.-Portland OreGonian.

Not a Christian Science Member or

To Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
A cablegram just received from a
London England correspondent gives
the following information concerning
DIR. Adcock, who, according to Lon
don dispatch to your paper, is said to
be under arrest for manslaughter in
connection with the death of Major
John Nicholas White:
"Adcook was treated for the habit Of
using morphine He processes an in
terest in Christian Science, but is not a
member of the church, nor was he a
practitioner in the White case"
From this it is evident that if the
charge of manslaughter has been
brought against Dr Adcock it must be

rate smoker forty years. Last Christ
mas he quit both habits and has not
touched particle of tobacco since.
Quitting the habits of lifetime shows
pluck and stamina in a man of sixty
six. The commissioner has been in
public life so many years that he IS
looked upon as the Nestor of Connecti-
cut politics. His knowledge of political
management is unequaled. Commits

shattered four years ago, has become
fairly rugged and he can endure more

upon some grounds other than that he
was attempting to practice Christian
Science. Furthermore, the erroneous
nature OF the report, which saVs that
DR.. Adcock is a Christian Science prac-
titioner, is established from the fact
that his name does not appear in the
list OF accredited Christian Science
practitioners which is published month";
ly in the Christian Science Journal. The
public needs no further information re-
specting the standing of this man, with
relation to Christian Science, than to
know that his pockets contained the
poisonous drug to which he was adj
dicted. Thanking you for your courte-
sy, yours truly,

THE QUIGLEY TRIAL.
BEGAN BEFORE JUDGE TYNER
IN CITY COURT YESTERDAY.

Many Witnesses Examined for the
Prosecution in Order to Show That
QuigIey Was the Responsible Party
Defense Fighting the Case Tooth
and NaiI--Many Disputes Regarding
Evidence OGered--Court Drops First
COunt-Case VIII be Resumed This
Morning.
The trial of Edward F. Quigley on the
charge of gaming and keeping a policy
shop was begun before Judge Tyner in
the city court yesterday morning. 1t
will be remembered that Quigleyts
place was raided several months ago
by the police, who found plenty of evil
dence to warrant the arrest of all con-
cerned. Quigley, who was the alleged
proprietor, skipped town, and the police
were unable to locate him until few
days ago, when he walked into the
city attorneys office and surrendered
himself. When the case opened there
We're number of witnesses at the
trial, and many legal points were rails
ed by Attorney Pond for the defense,
which prolonged the proceedings. Fol-
lowing We're the witnesses: Sergeant
Tighe, Detective Ward, Deputy Sheriff
Fisher, r. j. Woodruff, Alonzo Derrick,
Thomas Vincent, William G. Manning,
J nrad Greenwood and James O..
Jones. An effort was made to get Ed
M4lu l.. Dupaul, but it was stated that
he was in the city of Boston and would
not zoe in New Haven for week.
Prosecutor Woodruff testified to go
ing to Quigley's office, also to his resi-
dence, and what he found. Various
points in dispute were raised by coun-
sci for accused, and the arguments over
them took up considerable time Of the
court.
Mr.. Woodruff described finding $500
in silver, $15Oo in 81 bills and $4,000 in
large bills. He then described finding
some money in envelopes, which were
written on by some one besides Mr.,
Quigley. The part Of the statement as
to the writing not being MIR. Quigley' S
was stricken from the evidence as TAX
en- by Miss Ely the stenographer,
| Witness also described the finding of
sheets of tinted paper, as might be used
in the policy business. He also stated
that Quigley had $3.50 under his pillow,
and $50 in his pockets, when he visited
the house.
Alonzo Derrick, janitor of the build
ing in Orange street, testified as to
Henry & Co. and Quigley's office. He
borrowed money from Henry & Co.
An objection from Mr., Pond. 1t was
stated by Mr.. Simpson that he offered
the note of Derrick to show that
Henry & Co. was Quigley.
James o. Jones of Ashmun street,
who served 9 term in jail, testified he
knew Quigley.
| Several other clashes between coun-
sci for defense and prosecution occur
red Other evidence was produced by
the prosecution to show that Quigley
was the responsible partss and that the
paraphernalia found in the rooms were
part and parcel of the gaming business
OF which Quigley stands accused, and
that the money found was also part
of the transactions. When the court
adjourned the evidence for the prosecu-
ton was all in. The cert decided to
drop the first count charged, that OF
I gaming, and the other two charges
were not proceeded with as the wit
| nesses We're not on hand.
