The Fourth
in Tazewe!l

Yesterday was very quiet here
looked like Sunday. The banks and
stores were closed. The only sign
of anything unusual was a game of
baseball between the colored teams
of TaZewell and Elkhom, which
game resulted 8 to in favor of
TaZewell.

No More c. O. D. Liquor.

Hereafter no &c. o. D." liquor will GO
into the dry" sections of the Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia Peninsula, and a
new plan will have to be followed by
persons living in those sections who have
been accustomed to paying for the
packages when they were received.
Notice of the change was served on
Monday by the Adams Express Company,
to Wilmington liquor houses, that in
the future all liquor shipped to the local
option counties of Maryland will have to
be paid for, the company having discon.
tinued the custom of acting as collect
ing agent for the shippers.
Wilmington papers report that several
liquor wholesalers in that city have done
large business on the Eastern Shore,
chiefly by sending the goods upon order
and having the packages paid for when
received. but under the new plan when
persons in dry" districts order liquor
they will have to accompany the orders
with money or make arrangements with
the shippers to pay the bill, with the
understanding that settlement is to be
made later.

speech i'll California stating that large
part of the Atlantic fleet will winter in
Pacific waters, Secretary Leob has come
out with the temporizing announcement
that the fleet will be made ready for such
an EXPEDITION but that no one knows just
when it will be dispatched. This is of
course gentle way of backing out of his
denial of last Tuesday that the feet
would go at all. 1t is protested every
where iE official circles that the sending
of the warships is merely matter of
routine but it is incredible that the present
time would be selected for this particular
routine if it were not felt that the Jap.
anese situation might at any moment
become critical. 1t is not believed here
that the Administration contemplates as
probable war with Japan but as the
surest way to preserve peace is to be pre-.
pared for war it is in the interest of con.
cord and harmony, perhaps that the feet
will be sent around the Horn. This ad-
ministration and for that matter none of
the Governments of the world are likely
to soon forget that Japan does not wait
for the unfurling of much diplomatic red
tape when she gets ready to strike and
that only by preparedness and foresight
could we be able to prevent the great ad.
vantage she would have in the case of a
sudden determination to fight. 1t is
regarded as unfortunate that so much
should have been made of this movement
of the war ships for all of the pacific
protests of our officials will not be able to
convince the Japanese jingoists that we
are not preparing for war, and if we are
ever to engage in struggle with Japan
some such censorship of the news as was
practiced by Japan during her war with
Russia to prevent the giving out of val
liable information to the enemy should
be practiced. There could be no wish
to deceive the people here but there
might be an occasion when all praise of
free press to the contrary, silence would
be the highest form of patriotism.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has handed down its opinion in the
Georgia Edwards case involving the
right of interstate railroads to dlscrimi-
nate between negroes and whites in the
facilities furnished to both races.
The decision is important to the entire
South inasmuch as it upholds the "Jim
Grow" laws of the South. The decision
holds that "Jim Grow" cars are perfectly
legal provided there is no discrimination
and similar service is rendered both the
whites and the blacks.

Far-ReachIng Corporate Influence.

The investigation which has been going
on during the last few years have brought
to light many iniquities. The. source of
corruption funds has been exposed and
the inner workings of high finance re-
vealed. Some day the investigation will
learn whether the judges who preside at
the trial of corporations have any pecuu-
larry interest in the cases which come
before them-not necessarily in the
particular case, but in the result which
follows important decisions. 1t is now
more than ten years since Senator Petit
grew, of South Dakota, in speech in the
United States senate, called attention to
the fact that when suit was brought in
New York for the purpose of dissolving
the Joint traffic association, it was fonnd
that only one Judge out of the eight
judges in that circuit was qualified to try
the case because of the others holding
stocks or bonds of some of the railroads
that were defendants. The far.reached
influence of the great corporations is not
fully recognized. 1t is not easy for a
Judge to be absolutely impartial when his
decision may effect the value of his own
property. One of the objections to allow
ing watered stock to be issued is that
when issued, it gets into the hands OF
people who regard themselves as innocent
purchasers-even though they might have
informed themselves by Investigation
and such persons regard any attack upon
the corporation as an attack upon their
vested rights.-The Commoner.

In addition to being doomed for At
torney-General, Judge Austin L. Croth-
ers, of Elkton, has been suggested as a
candidate for Governor, the friends of ex'
Governors Jackson and John Walter
Smith being back of the move, and who,
it is claimed, would give him the sup.
port of the Eastern Shore.
II is asserted that the Eastern Shore. in
consequence of the political strife of its
leaders, has lost its importance as factor
in democratic State politics. 1t used to
have one of the United States Senators
and fair share of other State Offices
now Baltimore has both Senators, the
Attorney General and practically the
Governor.

Eugene E. Schmitz, thrice elected
Mayor or San Francisco, was sentenced
Monday by Judge Dunno to five years in
San Quentin Penitentiary for extorting
money from keepers of French restaurants.
Before passing sentence the judge made
Schmitz stand up before crowded court.
room, and scathingly denounced him as
rascal. The audience cheered.
Schmitz issued formal statement pro-
testing his innocence and asserting that
he would. be candidate for Mayor this
fall to seek vindication at the hands OF
the voters.
When Schmitz was last elected he ran
as an Independent Labor candidate
against business man supported by
both parties and all the newspapers.
Schmitz is still subject to trial under
four indictments for accepting brides, but
it is thought that these cases will not be
pressed.

Gan analysis of the figures on Oil Trust
finances given in the testimony at
Chicago Saturday reveals some astound-
ing facts. The capital was given at
sos, 800, 900; dividends in three years as
approximately $I2o. ooo, 900; net earnings
for 1903 as $SI, 300, 900; for 1904 as SOL
SOC, 900. and for 1905 as So, 200, 900.
"The dividends on 1913, 800, 900 in three
years amounted to more than the capital
stock, and, including the dividends for
1906, to two.thirds as much more than its
capital stock.
And this is called legitimate business
nowadays, under.trust domination Of the
Government, whereas it is highway
robbery pure and simple.

BOOSTER COLUMN.

Editor Glacier Il congratulate you
on having established a "Booster"
column, believing that it will be found
of great benefit to oui city and valley.
There is room tor boosting and work
for all the boosters.
IL seems to me that a good begin
ming might be made by trying to in
duce some OF the property owners
along Oak street, who at present are
barnacles en- the ship of Progress, to
either erect business buildings on
their property or sell to some one who
Will do so. This class of property
owners are doing more to injure our
city than all other causes combined.
Some of these men reside in Portland.
others here, but none of them are do
ing much but holding the city of
HOud River back with their dog in
the manger policy. 1t Is to be regret
ted that the property held by these
speeulators cannot be taxed at the
prices they ask for it. The writer
believes that they would be willing to
relax their grasp on the throat of the
city IL this could be done.
There Is demand here BY our busi
ness men for rooms to do business in.
but as long as those who own the
property can collect exorbitant ground
rents, we cannot hope for the erection
OF many good buildings. However,
these gentlemen will probably succeed
in forcing the business men off Oak
street down on Cascade avenue, unless
they change their short sighted, sell
fish policy very soon. The goose that
has been laying the golden eggs on
Oak street will then be too dead to
resurrect.

Christian Church Begins 10 Bnild.

The workmen are now at work exca
waiting for the new Christian church
that is to be built opposite the Hood
River high school, Definite plans
have not yet been decided upon. 1t
is thought however that the building
will be 40x40 feet square in the main
auditorium, with an addition Of
23x40 feet on the west side. The pul
pit will be in one corner of the build
ing, and the main auditorium will be
seated with circular seats. A taptis
cry will; also be built in the rear OF the
pulpit. 1t Is estimated that the build
ing rs 1t shall be finally decided upon
will cost approximately $4,000. When
completed 1t will be very handsome
structure and credit to the city.
The Christian church has made rapid
progress under the leadership of the
popular pastor, the Rev. W. A. Wood.
They have been worshiping in the
X. of P. hall and are entitled to more
convenient quarters.

The Hood River Band,

The Hood River band discoursed
some very good music last Thursday
at the memorial services held In the
opera house and on the streets in the
evening. The band is in good hands
rs long as Prof. Hill swings the baton.
The boys ale to be congratulated In
having volunteered their services to
the q. A. K. on Memorial day. Ihs
Salem band held the old soldiers up
for a price that they were unable to
pay. Consequently the old yetel ans
were compelled to match to the ceme-
terry without single strain of music.
This attitude of the Salem band has
incurred the disspprohstion of every
citizen of the capitol city. 1t does
not pay for band to be stingy with
its services.

Our demand for a letter telephone
service will never die out until 1t has
born it beneficial fruit. As citizens we
are impartial as to what company
may desire to furnish us with first
class service. If the present company
desires to bestir itself and provide us
with service equal to our needs, we
believe that it is the desire ofsssll in
terested to discourage the advent OF
the second company into the field.
However, II the Pacific States compa.
ny can reasonably hope to retain the
field, they must do something at
once. Past promises must be placed
into speedy effect, or Hood River will
contribute its aid to the perfecting of
a new company.
We do not want two phone systems.

more to discover the foolishness Of So
called telephone competition. Cen
orally, the citizens make the discov-
cry after experiencing the actual dou-
BILE burden and double nuisance.

The Rabbitville (Dalles) Chronicle
goes off at some very queer angles and
tangents in it's spasmodic efforts to
say some thing smart about Hood
River. In recent issue Of that sheet
it states: Compliant comes from
Hood River that the body of the Ia
borer drowned at Columbus and found
in the Columbia at Cooks landing
was dumped into grave without a
coffin or any covering save the loose
earth" We doubt II there was any
complaint from any responsible per-
son in Hood River sent to Rabbit
vile. We are safe in saying that there
are not two persons in the city who
have ever given the matter the least
thought. However, the Skamania
County Pioneer has become highly In
censed over the alleged complaint and
says: "Before Hood River airs itself
too freely they had better find out
under what conditions the coroner OF
Skamania county had to deal with the
body above mentioned. We desire
to say to the Pioneer that this slush
from the Jsckrabbit Chronicle Is In
no sense the feeling OF our citizens.
This method OF perversion on the
part of the Chronicle is further shown
by the statement in a recent issue
that it would require 300 berry pick,
ers to pick the strawberries of the
present season. This article was
copied by the East Oregonian Of May
%. How ridiculous. Ii will at least
require 1000 pickers to harvest the
crop this year.
