Bryan's Welcome

Never was a private citizen given a
larger and more enthusiastic greeting
than VIM. j. Bryan OF his arrival in
New York on Thursday after his trip
around the world. The welcome was
first conceived and arranged by the Com
mercial Travellers Antitrust League,
who have been over-shadowed by the
big political leaders present.
Democrats were present from all
parts of the country, and more than
10000 persons, including Governors of
States, United States Senators and
Representatives, national and state lead
ers of the party, legislators, Mayors and
hundreds of staunch party men cheered
the N~ebraskan, making one of the most
notable demonstrations ever witnessed
i'll Madison Square garden.
In his speech he said: My heart would
be flint indeed if it were not touched by
your demonstration. My heart would
be ungrateful beyond measure if it did
not in return consecrate itself to your
service.
The paramount issue in the minds of
a large majority of the people is the
trust issue.
No party can eXterminate the trusts
so long as it owes its political success to
trust contributors.
Our motto must be, ga private mon
opoly is i~ndefenslble and intolerable.n

Why Not Sunday Every Day ?

The Newark 'News'' believes that
the Bishops law is a good thing and
ought to be enforced. We quote:
Until public opinion changes and
Sunday law are reported, liquor dealers
must conform to the one and obey the
other. The sole purpose of the "Bis-
hops laWn was to abolish infamous
and immoral back rooms and to coun-
SCI obedience to Sunday laws.
'"This much must be said with refer
elce to the effect of the new act. Many
Il ma who never before knew what it
was to spend Sunday at home and take
dinner with his family has had a novel
n pleasant experience. Many anoth-
er who formerly hadn't a cent when
Monday morning came, now knows
what it is to have a dollar OF two left
over. Many a place that was the scene
OF Sunday orgies is now quiet and de-
cent. Many children who never spent
an hour with their fathers on Sunday
now know how kind they are when not
full of beer, and many thousands of
men who thought they could not do
without their Sunday beer, find that
there is more than enough lawful pleas
ure to compensate for the deprivation.
1.-THE Bishops law isfast commend
ing itself to many thousands of people
who at first denounced it. If it is Civ
en- a fair opportunity to work out it's
W beneficient results it will not be
repealed. This fact seems to be realiz-
ed by the brewers and liquor dealers,
else there would not be such frantic
Efforts through bogus reports to work
up a sentiment against it. If it were
bad it would show bad results, and it
isn't working in that way"

Tint Was ALL.

A young girl who Is always trying
some new thing was present once
when the doctor set q neighbours bro
ken arm. She was sure that she knew
exactly how it was done and rather
anxious to put her new knowledge into
practice. Some time later a hen out
in the chicken yard broke its leg. The
girl directly announced that she meant
to set it "and make It as good as
new" Accordingly it was put into a
plaster cast and left for the proper
length of time to knit. When the day
came to take off the cast the girl ran
out to the henhouse in great eagerness
to see the result. Presently there was
a scream that brought every member
of the family to her side. The chicken
was jumping miserably e the ground
sidewise instead of directly forward.
You know a hens leg has a crook.
Well, she had crooked it the wrong
way, that was all.

Sharks Tail For Luck.

Attached to the extreme end of the
bowsprit Of a sailing vessel there may
sometimes be seen a piece of some ma
terial that looks remarkably like leath-
er. This seeming piece of leather Is
really a sharks tail. 1t is placed there
because the sailors think that it augurs
good luck, believing that pleasant voy-
ages will be their lot while it remains
there. Instead of the bowsprit the tail
is at times nailed to the top Of of
the masts.-London King.

police power, discriminating against
some and favoring others, is prohibited;
but legislation carrying out a public
purpose, although limited in its appli-
cation, if, within the sphere of its opera
tion, it affects alike all persons similar
ly situated, is not interdicted by the
fourteenth amendment.
We do not find any ground upon
which the act of April 10, 1906, can be
said to be unconstitutional and hence
the resolution of the Excise Board Of
Jersey City, brought up by the writ in
this case, is a valid exercise of the pow-
Ell conferred by the statute, and is sus-
tanned with costs.

WHEN WILL 1T END?
Portland Oregonian.

portland Oreg0n1an.
Seattle has declared it will not per-
NIT entrance of railroads into that
city to be obstructed and defeated by
its intrenched and arrogant railroad
monopoly. The city election Tuesday
demonstrated clearly that Seattle pro-
poses to take the municipal machinery
from the hands of the railroads and
to place its own independent and ac-
credited representatives in control.
Seattle has done much for the rail
roads, and the railroads have done
much for Seattle. 1t has given much
-everything--to the railroads, be-
cause its commercial greatness de-
pended largely, if not wholly, on rail
road competition. Therefore it de-
livered itself over to them-that is to
say, to the Great Northern railroad
body, boots and breeches.
The Great Northern was the savior
of Seattle. 1t became the owner.
Seattle did not know that the trans
formation had occurred until Mr.. Hill
inspired his city government to in
terpose every sort of obstacle in the
way of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad. Then the town woke
up. It defeated the Hill candidate
for mayor in face of normal repub-
lican majority of 5000 or more. II
all but defeated the councilmen- lat
large who, more than any other, had
been instrumental in carrying out the
Hill policy. 1t upset the entire Hill
scheme of municipal government and
brought the city council to realiz-
ing sense of the force and power of
outraged public sentiment. So the
council got together and at once ar
ranged to give the st. Paul railro ad
its franchise.
The Oregonian thinks the Seattle
episode is of profound significance and
value to the people of Portland.
Here we have the reigning powers
trying to keep out the North Bank
Railroad. The people welcome Mr..
Hill-not as politician or as the
owner of the town, but as the builder
of great railroad system and the
chief developing influence of many
states. We can have no fear, under
conditions here, that he will ever essay
to control our political, social and
commercial affairs as he does in Seat
tie. Our only concern is that the
efforts of an inspired and unjustifi
able opposition will not succeed il
keeping him out of Portland. Every
body knows what the North Bank rail
road means to Portland. Everybody

THE SILVER LINING,

Thank you, little girl, you have given
me knock
That will last me for many day;
It's just the sort of blow, in fact, the
very kind of shock,
That man can remem ber alway.
Long ago learned that a woman
can't play fair;
She doesn't know the ethics of the
game;
But you--you seemed so different, you
seemed to have an air
Above the usual halt and lame.
You brought to mind a woman
strange vision of my past
Who never had an untruth on her
name,
The only thing in petticoats, of all the
slow or fast
l ever saw, who deemed lie a
shame.
I took your word; I clean forgot the
experience of years,
lDdt WOn0u uU HOJ huOM OhO 0OAu
en- Rule;
actually believed your vowl And
now these few last tears!--
Did anyone ever see bigger fool?
'Tis not so much the loss--I could
bear that stolidly.
Love, if wholly lost, is still divine;
What hurts is that it's you who caim-
ly lied to me,
And placed no value on your word
or mine.
Turn back, old man, to safer paths.
Bank up heart fires tight;
A girl can never keep her promise
whole.
The world is full of women, and other
toys, and light;
Take it as it is. Lock up your soul.
Still it is true that If, perchance,
she'd come to me and say
She did not know the wound her
acts incur,
I'd bless her. and forgive her, and
ever after pray
That promise ne'er be broken unto
her.
"A. H. Ballard.

Socialism is dream that will not
stand the test of real life. But social
ism is force which asserts itself in
ever widening circles of public opin-
ion. Its increase in votes, its growth
in popular sentiment are signs of the
times. Our politicians will do we'll
to look for the cause. The Evening
Bulletin of Walla Walla, in discuss
ing the growth of socialism, says:
''The most apparent reason for this
phenomenal development of social
istic ideals is the disregard of the law
by our corporations and moneyed men.
For them there seems to be no au-
thority. H. H. Rogers refuses to
answer pertinent questions. He re-
fuses defiantly. The Chicago packers
do the same thing. Our insurance
robbers go to Paris. The railroads
disc inmate against the smaller man

wall. All of this would not make SO

much difference IL public opinion
were not suspicious Of the legislative
bodies. There is widespread impress
sion that the senate is owned by the
railroads, that large numbe of its
members have such close relation
with the large corporations that they
cannot act independently. This may
be all wrong, but the fact remains
that the public opinion is suspicious.
The football methods Of the senate re-
lative to the Hepburn rate bill have
not helped to eradicate this suspicion.
This measure so strongly endorsed by
Roosevelt looks like common sense.
The breaks should be turned ON when
the big corporations endeavor to
tyrranize the country. Public service
utilities should not be made graft
machines for the few at the expense of
the many. And yet the senate dis
cusses the problem at such length
that it looks very much as il the
Hepburn bill will die of too much
CAB. If these matters will keep up
the present tempo, the country will
soon be prey to 'plutocrats. But be-
fore the American people will toler-
ate such usurpation in the land of the
free, they will quietly step in and
take possession of their own"

ATHENA, MARCH. ). .13, 1906

Athena offers a bid of $500 and
the material for constructing the mile
of experimental macadamized road to
be built in Eastern Oregon this year
by the government With this offer
is included the best location for prac-
tical road making to be found any
where in Umatilla county, or, for that
matter, in any county in the whole of
Eastern Oregon. In the one mile of
road which Athena offers the govern
ment for practical test in road MAX
ing, there is embraced all the known
character and elements in soil form
alton that is encountered east of the
Cascade mountains. Here, within
the distance Of one mile, the prac-
ticabiIity of macadamized road max
ing can be put to a thorough, econo-
mical test over a roadbed including
formations of volcanic ash, hardpan,
clay, alkali, sand, gravel and heavy,
black gumbo soil of the creek bottom.
IF THE HIGHEST BID SECU RES
THE LOCATION FOR THE EX-
PERIMENTAL ROAD Athena may
stand the chance of losing the road.
But if the BEST INTERESTS OF
PRACTICAL ROAD MAKING ARE
TO BE PUT TO THE MOST RIGID
TEST POSSIBLE WITHIN THE
DISTANCE PRESCRIBED BY THE
GOVERN MENT, AND AT ECONO-
MICAL EXPENSE, then Athena g
offer, after fair and impartial investi-
cation, will surely be accepted.

knows that the war on the Swan
Island bridge is not made in good
faith, nor through any real desire to
protect the interests of the port.
Everybody knows that Mr.. Hill him
self, if he shall establish terminal
here, will have an interest in building
up great port at or near Portland
that will require him tojoin in any
proper plan to increase its Importance
by maintaining an unobstructed chan
mel to the sea. Everybody knows
that twenty citizens of Portland are
for the Swan Island bridge where one
is opposed, and the twenty voice the
sentiment practically of Portland's
entire commercial community. Every
body knows that, if the people at
large. including nearly all our bust
ness men, had an opportunity to ex-
press in an election their will in this
most vital matter, the obstructive
majority-or is it minority?--in the
Port of Portland Commission would
be wiped out of existence. The an
noying and inexcusable delays by the
Port of Portland Commission, and the
unreasonable and unfounded objec-
tions it has made to the Swan Island
bridge, are in the line with the his
tories of the reigning powers here,
which want everything themselves
and nothing for anybody else.
1t is the greedy game of grab, for
ever played by our local plutocracy,
through another of its vehicles, the
Port of Portland Commission. When,
oh Lord, will it end?
