that it had to be run in several sections.
As an instance OF the enormity of this
system, it is stated that recently in
the first section 221 passengers left
Washington and at Baltimore the
conductor found he had vised 2l5
passes, taken in two half-fare tickets
and four full fares. Sometimes Con-
gressmen would "run down" to New

Congressman dare to begin again

The Presidents Dilemma.

II is said at Washington that the
...;.erlying reason for the Presidents
q ire for Taft to so on TO tue supreme
bench is to shelve him from Presidential
possibilities. 1t is becoming more and
more apparent that Mr.. Roosevelt is
determined to fulfill some promises he
has made in regard to curbing the
rapacitv OF corporations, even if he has
10 accept another term to do 80. He
will either name bis successor, or if
urged, as a non-partisan" candidate,
accept the position on the plea OF patri-
otto duty. 1t was, Of course, unex-
pected that such contingency would
arise, when flushed with victory, he
announced that he would not, under
any circumstances, be q candidate for
another term.
Some time ago, the President bot.
tied up Secretary Shaw by arbitrarily
demanding that he retain the Treasury
portfolio, but that plan has not worked
on Root, who brought back with him,
on assuming higher position in the
cabinet than he formerly held, all that
strenuosity which marked his course
as Secretary OF War. As q straw,
which shows the trend of the Presi-
dental mind, il is reported that Mr..
Roosevelt lately remarked to an init.
maet friend, in plaintive voice, "Some-
times l discover evidences that Mr..
Root imagines that he is President"
1t is really an instance in which
"Greek meets Creek" but the Presi-
dent has that invaluable aid, diplom.
acy, which is wholly wanting in his
opponent, as time is rapidly developing
to be the fac.
In the meantime, there has to be, of
course, a scape. goat, and that lately
was, and probably is yet, Speaker Can
non, for the aid given in support of his
Congressional programme. The ele.
ment OF doubt is noted from the fact
that the President is now so "chum.
my" with Tillmap, and it would not
be stranger than happened when the
Democrats nominated Greeley for
President, to favor the Man with the
Pitchfork, and both factions now seem
to be in about the same straits which
then suggested that new and some.
what unexpected alignment.
Those Republicans who fear Hearst's
nomination declare that Roosevelt
will have to run to save the party"
an acknowledgment that nobody is as
near the people as the journalist. ex.
cept it be Mr.. Roosevelt, but it 10 very
doubtful whether the President ever
will be a strict partisan hereafter. He
has grown out of party lines, and he
exemplifies in an eminent degree the
adage, pledged to no party's arbitrary
sway" whether or not he has fully
determined to "follow the truth,
where e'er che leads her way" With
Mr.. Roosevelt it is the unexpected
that is continually happening, and
just now he is on the right track,
which traverses Democratic ground,
and that party is honest enough to
recognize and approve fair, sincere
and truthful support Of principle
wherever it is found.

PROPOSED DESTRUCTION OF A Re-

from destruction the famous old land.
mark on the Columbia, known as
Castle Rock, which Dan Kearns is
arranging to blow to pieces and sell
the fragments for filling of the As.
toris jetties. As our State owns the
shore lands it has what is believed to
be legitimate grounds for protest, as
to the liability of damage to tho land,
nor can the rock be removed without
actual trespass on State lands. The
rock belongs to the estate of the late
w. 8. Ladd, of Portland, and it is by
direction Of the heirs, who expect to
derive several hundred thousand dol
lars from sale OF the stone, that vandal
hands are to be laid upon the rock.
Work has already begun, and tunnels
have been bored on the river side, in
which it is proposed to explode 160
tons of blasting powder. It is ex-
pected that about 100000 tons of
rock will thus be thrown upon the
State land, and it is feared that it
will result in irreparable injury. 1t
Is expected that legal process will
issue for suspension Of work until such
time as the State will be enabled to

II Is PROBABLE THAT THE STUDENT
VOTE CARRIED THE SEATTLE ELECTION.
AS the votes of the University stu
dents may, with the small majority
accorded the successful candidates,
have turned the result III the Seattle
municipal election, the opinion OF the
attorney General" may be scruti.
nized little more closely than under
ordinary circumstances. His affirma.
tive decision WAS based upon the intent
of students to make Seattle thereafter
their permanent home, after their
school life had ended; an easy means
for qualification when the Lille of bud
ding manhood is so vague and unde-
fined. Doubtless most of the State Uni
versity boys think that if they can fall
into fat places, on entering the active
plane Of life, that Seattle presents
about as many opportunities as any
other city of like size and renown,
and it does not require much stretch Of
conscience to declare q intent, that
may be changed tomorrow, next
month, or next year, by different Cir
cumstances. There is, of course, moth
ing definite or binding in such state
ment, or oath. Such elections, in
volving largely local and private in
terests, are not correct expression
of the popular will, which is the
very essence OF free government.
Our own city had an evidence OF it
last month, when no question as to
qualification was asked of anybody,
while saddling another large levy upon
a tax-ridden people, and maintaining
it by threat of ostracism from that
terror to some people, coerced public
opinion. There will be time, how
ever, when this system of boycott will
become too heavy to be borne, and then
such unjust rulings as open the door
to reversal, or defeat, of public opin-
ion, will be tram pied out of existence
by those who believe that the tax
payers, and not the tax.eaters, should
rule on all questions of public econ.
omy.

With nearly all medicines put up for eale through druggists, one has to take the makers say-so alone as to their cnra- tive value.

COTTON MEN TOMEET
THEY WILL GATHER AT THE COURT
 HOUSE TO-DAY.
Messrs. vandiver and Seymour VIII speak of the Commiffec Meet
 ing Held Last Week In Hot

Mainly for the purpose of hearing ad-
 dresses from W. F. Vandiver and w. II. Seymour, President of the Alabama Dt-
 vision of the Southern Cotton Associa-
 tion, both of whom are members or the Executive Committee of the Assocation,
 which met recently in Hot Springs, Ark, a mass meeting of the farmers. business men and other citizens of Montgomery County. interested in the cotton situation, has been called for II o'clock this morning at the County Court house.
 The meeting was called by W. H. Vaughan. President of the Montgomery County division of the Southern Cotton Association and a large attendance is expected.
 Mr. Yandiyer and MT. Seymour will
 address the meeting on the work ae- complished by the Executive Committee at Hot Springs, which was in session
 three days.
 MT. vandIver returned from Hot
 Springs Sunday, and Mir. Seymour
 reached Montgomery yesterday morn ing.
 A sentiment to form a company for the purpose of taking care of the sur plus cotton crop each year, said Mr. Seymour, was put on foot He thought the time was not far distant when such a corporation would be organized for the purpose of taking the surplus cot ton off the market. He, however. did not know whether the company would be formed within or without the Asso- citation. though more probably outside the Association.
 Mir. Seymour said the committe had found that the cotton crop had deterior- ated and was still deterioratjag, but as to how much, they could not determine accurately enough to estimate the yield for hi ha rfo a lid fixed at 10 cents. and the committee worked night and day for three days. While the addresses will be the most important part of todays program, there will be other matters of import anee for discussion.
