No National Incorporation.

 will not pass a national incorporation bill, nor is 1t probable any Congress would take so radical step without having some assurance that it would be supported by a preponderance of public opinion. It can not get this assurance unless the plan is made an issue, and since MT. Taft has rejected the propo- sition, 1t could become an issue only in the event MT. Roosevelt himself should be- the Rominee of his party. If such a contingency as that should arise, Mir. Bryans record on the sub je6t would embarrass him if the Demo- cratic party were to nominate him on a platform denounclng the proposition to require all corporations doing an in terstate business to take out a national charter. Some of Mir. Bryan's friends declare that the President filched this issue from Mir. Bryan. If that is so, We are glad to know that Mir Bryan Is not disposed to replevin. the property"

.Bacleror Buttons.n

New York Evening Post
 There is complaint in Oregon because the Department of Agriculture in It's seed distribution. has sent out packets Of the seed for "bachelor buttons" This plan" says The oregonian with disgust, 'is simply the French pink, the pest of wheat-growers throughout the Willamette Valley. Acres of wheat have been plowed up in the early blooming season of this plant in the hope of preventing the seed from ma turing; other acres have been sum mer followed in the equally vain hope Of killing the plant by uprooting it In the dry season. The allegation that the Government sent cactus and cas- sava seeds to Maine. and Labrador shrubs to Louisiana, has been public~ ly made. but we had believed 1t to be groundless. Here however. are spe- clhcations of the charge Laws have been utterly unequal to punishing the men who deliberately introduced tho English sparrow and the gypsy moth or Inadvertently the boil weevil and the Hessian fly But we can mete out vengeance to the public man who sends with the Government passport the very nuisance which the citizens are try ing to eradicate. Fines for each sep arate offence would pile up faster in the case of a prolific plant than in that of an active shipper at Illegal rates. Perhaps simpler revenge would be for oregon to vote the Democratic ticket on the bachelor buttons, issue.

SPEECH BY Mr.. ROOSEVELT.
At Dedication of Monument to the
Rouqh Riders.


President Roosevelt made speech
on patriotism and good citizenship at
the dedication recently Of the monu-
ment erected in the national cemetery
at Arlington to the memory Of the
Rough Riders of the Spanish-American
war. Mrs. Allyn X. Capron, widow of
Captain Capron of the Rough Riders
regiment, who fell at Las Guimas,
pulled the cord holding the American
flag that covered the monument. Rev.
DR.. D. ]. Stafford of St. Patrick's
church made the dedication address.
The monument Is the design of Mrs.
Capron. It is monolith and stands
IA feet high on a base 6x6 feet.
The memorial bears the names of more
than 100 members of the regiment who
died either in Cuba or after the re-
turn of the regiment to the United
States. The main decoration is a
bronze tablet bearing the regimental
device and the inscription:
First United States volunteer cav.
altry. In memory of the deceased mem.
bers of the First United States volun-
teer cavalry, Spanish-American war
Erected by members of the regiment
1906"
President Roosevelt, who was col.
onel of the regiment, referred to the
peculiar qualification of himself and
his comrades in this memorial and
enunciated his we'll known views on
the duties of citizenship.

SPOKANE RATE
Case HEARING

The hearing by the interstate com.
MERGE commission at Portland is await
ed with keen interest. 1t is realized
that this is the first fundamental issue
raised by the new rate law, going to
the real question as TO rates rather than
as to discrimination. 1t is claimed that
a decision favorable to Spokane would
compel a radical alteration of the sys.
tenn of jobbing and haulage from Chi.
cago westward. The decision in the
Denver case that railroads can not lie.
gally charge an Improbable rate for
transcontinental freight, is taken al
promising concession to Spokane OF
at least that the roads must give her
tho same rates as charged through to
the coast ports.
Spokane and her jobbing territory
are paying annually to the transconti.
mental railroads serving them over g..
100000 more than the same service
would cost il these goods were deliver.
ed at Portland or Puget Sound points.
This startling evidence is compiled
from the testimony Of the railroads fl.
ed with the interstate commerce com.
mission at the hearing Of the Spokane
rate case before Commissioner G. A.
Prouty, at Portland, Ore.

FOUND
GUILTY
STANDARD OIL SAID TO
HAVE TAKEN REBATE.
ARE LIABLE TO FINE OF NEARLY
THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS
IN FINES.

Inc STANDARD Oll company OF In
diana, which has been on trial for the
last six weeks before Judge X. M.
Lands in the United States district
court on a charge of having received
rebates from the Chicago & Alton on
shipments from Whiting, Ind, to East
st. Louis, ILL.,, was found guilty on
1853 counts Of the original 1903 in the
Indictment. The remaining 40 counts
were dropped from the indictment on
account of errors. II the verdict is
sustained the oil company is liable to
a fine of $29,260,0OO, as the Elkins
law, which the indictment charged the
company with having violated, pro.
vides a fine Of $1,000 to $4,000 for
each offense. Pending a motion for
a new trial. which John 8. Miller.
counsel for the defendant, announced
would be made Immediately, no &C.
ton will be taken by the court to-
ward collecting the fine.
The indictments charged that in the
shipment of 1903 cars of oil over the
Chicago Terminal Transfer and the
Chicago and Alton railways from Whit.
ing, Ind, to East st. Louis, ILL.,, by
way Of Chappell, ILL.,, the oil company
accepted a rate Of cents for 100
pounds, when the published rate was
10 cents. Early in the trial attorneys
for the defense endeavored to have all
the counts in the indictments thrown
out on technicalities, but the court or
dered that each count be considered
separately, which was done.
The jury was out less than three
hours and reached the verdict on the
first ballot.
The courts charge left the jury a
discretion as to how many of the
counts it might find the company to
have been guilty. A motion by its at
torneys to limit the number of offenses
to one will be argued next week by
agreement. The company's lawyers
contend that but one crime, If any, was
committed, and the multiplicity of
counts amounts to persecution. They
declare the corporation will be ruined
If the prosecution procures any such
Interpretation Of the law. Judge Lam
dis agreed to permit the jury to find
a verdict this week so that it's vigil
of six tiresome weeks might end. He
will rule as to the number of offenses
next week.
If he limits the offenses to but one
crime there can be no greater fine
than 100000 and possibly the defend
ant might escape with fine of $1,000.
The ruling will be most important
in federal jurisdiction. 1t will deter
mine whether or not the federal laws
against railroad discrimination are en-
forceable.
