has passed by large vote. a measure
compelling the railroads to furnish
free passes to certain classes of state
and district officials.
This IS giving the people a "whack
on the head" with a vengeance. From
an anti-pass law to compulsory pass
law is a long stride, and the people
viii evidently have to take the matter
in their own hands.
The Freeman bill which passed in
tho house by a vote of A to 1S. makes
il compulsory on part of railroad
companies to furnish free passes to all
members Of the legislature. all dis
tric: officers and county judges and
sher!ffs
Ii seems that as Oregon is earnest
ly seeking relief from alleged abuses.
that tine legislature should not accept
this sop in settlement.
The legislature has no right to leg
isl1te the property of the railroads
away from them. Transportation to
railroad companies is just the same
as flour and sugar and salt to the
grocelyman. or boots and shoes to the
merchant, or blankets to the woolen
mills, or beef to the butcher shops.
1t would be Just as reasonable to
provide by legislation that the Salem
butcher shops should furnish steak to
the members of the legislature, the
supreme court, the district attorney
and the sheriff as to force the rail-
roads to furnish free transportation
TO these officials.
The people will not be satisfied with
this settlement of the free pass evil.
The legislature should provide some
reasonable remedy or the people will
perhaps provide some extreme meas
ure

GEARIN'S OPPORTUNITY.

The Oregonian highly compliments
United States Senator John NJ. Gear
in. Of Oregon, whose term has just
expired and who has returned to his
home in Portland after most sue
ccssful term in the senate.
Had John NJ. Gearin deserted his
most in the senate last summer to
have taken part in the campaign in
Oregon, he would now be serving a
six-year term by popular election in
place of Jonathan Bourne. Ten
speeches for Gearin would have turn
ed the tide for him in the popular
election. it is believed.
But Gearin has made a record
which will make him eligible for the
place In future. He remained at his
post in Washington and attended to
the duties of his office, when he had
the assurance of friends that a brief
campaign would secure him the in
dorsement Of the people.
To be defeated upon such grounds
is complimentary, for he considered
the peoples interests before his own

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The subject of Abraham Lincoln's
life and career will never become too
threadhare. time-worn nor hackneyed
to be uninteresting TO the American
people. on this day, February IL,
the nation celebrates his birth and
recounts his thrilling history. 1t is
a theme of perennial freshness and
interest
Eva Emery Dye, in "The Conquest"
gives a thrilling picture of the rescue
Of I.incoln's father from horrible
death by savages. Providence seems
to have saved him to become the
father Of his illustrious son.
Let Mrg. Dye tell the story. In a
wild forest Of east Tennessee, at the
beginning of the 18th century, the
savages hive chased a family from
an isolated cabin home. The children
have beer murdered, the mother es-
capped by flight and the youngest son
is kneeiing before a husky savage
who is ready to plunge tomahawk
into his head.
Before the blow descends, perhaps
but a second before the arm of the
savage should send death to the kneel-
ing boy, bullet from his brothers
rifle pierces the heart Of the savage
and the arm which was ready to
murder him. strikes out wildly in the
air and the savage falls dead in front
Of his intended victim.
That kneeling boy, so near to a
horrible death, lived to become the
father Of Abraham Lincoln.
How slender the thread upon which
hangs some Of the worlds greatest
climaxes is shown in this thrilling IL
lustration.

a BISHOPS VARIED CAREER.

Bishop John NJ. Walden, of the
Ne tho6ist Episcopal church, was born
IN Lebanon. o., February IL, 1881,
and spent his early life on a farm.
He entered Farmers college, gradu-
ating with honors in 1852. Two years
later ne entered journalistic work.
Going to Wyandotte, Kan. he started
and published paper during the
troubles in that state. He soon re-
turned to Ohio, however. and for two
years was a reporter on a Cincinnati
paper.
In 1860 he was licensed as pastor
0f Cincinnati church, and for some
time he was engaged in promoting the
Interests of the "contrahands." Dur
ing the civil war he was colonel of
the famous Cincinnati regiment
known as the squirrel hunters"
Later he became corresponding Sec
rctary of the Western Freedmen's Aid
society.
In 1890 he lacked but a few votes
of being chosen as bishop. Four years
later he was successful, and ever
over since has been prominently be-
fore the church in publishing inter-
este, and in the legislation of several
| conferences. He has been a prolific
writer on temperance and education
For more than 40 years Cincinnati
has been Bishop Waldon's home city

ROCKEFELLER'S SOP.

The sane and intelligent manhood
of the nation will take as an insult
the offer of John D. Rockefeller of
S82 ,OOO,O 900 for public education.
The methods by which Rockefeller
has secured his enormous wealth are
vicious, unfair, criminal and oppres-
siye and have been practiced against
the will of every thinking citizen of
the nation. He has debauched courts,
defied laws, throttled industry and
created havoc in every spot which he
could not control The people have
pleaded in vain for a square deal
from him and his minions-now the
people will not stoop to be appeased
by the sop which he has thrown to
them.
The only reparation which John D.
Rockefeller can made in full salts
faction for his past oppression, is tc
call off his hounds of commerce, give
his competitors a square deal. ask fol
the repeal or modification of the law:
by which his robberies have beer
committed and before he dies, stanc
before the nation with something akir
to a clean and honest motive.
What are s32,OOO,OOO compared tc

to get away from the popular meas
ures passed by the people through
the initiative and referendum. An
anti-direct primary sentiment, anti
abatement No. l sentiment and sew
eral sentiments against the popular
