NAMES ROOSEVELT
FOR THIRD TER NJ
SENATOR DEPEW MAKES NoMl-
MATING SPEECH TO CHAMP
CLARK, WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE
HE COULD BE PERSUADED.

Washington, March 7-(Special )-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was nominated for third
term this morning by Senator Depew OF
New York. The senator had just called
upon the executive, and he made the
nominating speech within two minutes of
the time he left the Presidents office.
Representative Champ Clark of Mis-
souri,, who preceded the senator into the
Presidents office by ten minutes also
named the President to succeed himself
but attached a strong string TO the nomi-
nation
There is no capitalization upon any
other man than Roosevelt" said Senator
Depew. HE is the strongest man in the
country.
HE may take the nomination. said
Congressman Clark, but I'll be sorry
to see him do SO, for no man will ever be
elected President for the third time until
this republic is on its last legs and that
time is long way off,
The New York senator said that he had
seen only two other instances where po-
litical thought conferred upon one man as
1T does upon the President now, a whole
year in advance of the convention. These
instances were when Grant and McKin-
ley were nominated. All other campaigns
had meant a good hard fight with several
candidates in the field. But now there
is no one else in sight," said Senator De-
pew. 'If 1t were known that the Presi-
dent would accept another nomination he
would be nominated by reclamation"
II believe that the President was hon
est in his statement the night of the
election in 1904 that he would not accept
anOtb nrpaidpnfia1 OOD1ina tiOn.' said
Representative Clark, land l do not be-
lieve that he could be persuaded in the
ordinary acceptance of the word persua-
sion to accept another nomination, but
1 do believe that if he can be convinced
that unless he is nominated some reac-
tionary will be nominated, then he will
accept"

Seldom has there been such a va

In many cases It will not repay the

are almost as cheap as she could

said they all; and Mildred could give
no reason, though she felt instructive

she suggested, 81 will go"
"Oh, moi" they cried, then who

"Who, indeed?" echoed Mr.. Bland,

Mildred gave It up. She saw that
IL would not do to be too anxious to
go out with him without a chaperon.
Out in the hall, Teddy Bland began
to think hard, as instructed. The
first thing he thought about was
whether it would be possible to find
the nursery without making unduly
impertinent inquiries of the servants.
If Willie would only give a hint as to
the direction by crying out again
Little Willie seemed ready to oblige.
| Most distinctly it was a sob-but the
| nursery must be very near-or it was
a most penetrating sob.
He stole on tiptoe to the door OF
the room known as the library, be-
cause all the other customary names
for rooms had been used up, and
otherwise it would have been name
! less.
In the darkness there was some
| thing white. 1t was too large TO be
little Willie but it sobbed again.
Softly he stepped in, shut the door
and turned on the electric light. Wini-
fred raised red and fearful face in
alarm, gave a little shrek, and looked
round for the door. Then she blew
her nose and went casually to book.

Facing the bookshelf, she was do
ing her best to clear up the tears
and wondering how red her face was

wasn't as angry as you were?"
She gave up the attempt to hide
the truth and looked at him with un
concealed gratitude.
Twenty minutes had passed, and
Mr.. Bland was still thinking.
"Mr Bland. are you going to take
all night?
Sorry" cried a distant voice from
the darkness of the library. "Just
coming. Much more difficult than
thought"
"Do hurry up!'
And in a minute he sauntered into
the room. He was followed immediate
ly by Winifred.
Mildred seemed surprised.
Are the children asleep already? p
she asked, haughtily.

INJUSTICE TO RAILROADS.

While the press is holding up the
abuses practiced' by the railroads up
on the public, the abuses practiced
by the public upon the railroads are
often forgotten.
In justice to the railroads it is prop
er TO mention some of these flagrant
abuses at this time, while the subject.
of railroad legislation is rife.
In the large railroad centers, Port
land included, hundreds of cars are
held for weeks by shippers who pre-
fer TO pay the demurrage rather than
provide storage room for their goods.
There is no way in which the rail-
roads can force these shippers to un-.
load. They can only collect the de-
murrage.
While these hogs of commerce are
holding cars on side tracks, rather
than furnish warehouse room, the
public is clamoring for the cars. The
railroads are powerless to relieve
Fuch a situation. There should be a
law compelling the unloading of cars
within a reasonable time, as we'll as
reciprocal demurrage law.
One firm in Chicago which handles
about 5000 carloads OF coal per
month, has no central warehouses
but holds cars on the side tracks while
it peddles out its coal to the consum-
er. The president of the company
when asked why this was done, said
It was far more economical to pay
the demurrage than to rent or build
warehouses and bins.
There is a case where the railroad
is not to blame for the car shortage.
There are many larger hogs in COM
merce than railroad companies.
The railroad companies are often
forced to deal severely by the very
selfishness Of such shippers as this
coal company.

THE COST OF ARISToCRACY.

The Thaw trial from beginning to
end, will cost the state of New York
about s25O,OOO.
This sum will be taken out of the
public treasury. Society must pay for
supporting the luxury of an aristoc-
racy of idleness. Had Thaw been en-
gagged in some useful vocation, the
state would have been spared this
enormous expense.
Had he been taught in youth to do
something beside indulging his lusts,
his life would not have drifted into
the channel where Evelyn Nesbits
and Sanford Whites embroil the pas
sions of society.
1t is far more dangerous to the ma
ton to support an aristocracy of idle
ness than 1t is to permit the growth
of the idle mob. The mob can be
dispersed, but the aristocracy has a
firm grip on its perch and Is beyond
the reach of laws or regulations.

DYKING LAW NEEDED.

Without going into details. it seems
that the dyking law proposed by the
people OF Milton and Freewater is
meritorious measure and should be
enacted.
A territory comprising about 1000
acres OF extremely rich land, several
costly county bridges and considera-
Bile county road, in this proposed
dyking district, is subject to overflow
and damage by high water with every
rise in the Walla Walla river, in its
present condition.
Something should be done to safe
guard that district and it seems that
the measure proposed is a practical
solution of the subject
The bill provides that dyking dis
tricts, like road districts, may be
formed for the purpose of building
and maintaining dykes in the state
Of Oregon where needed. The dis
trlct cannot be formed except upon
authority Of the county court after
competent estimates have been made.
After a district lie established, the
county lie authorized to issue warrants
in payment Of the expenses. taking
q bond on the property of the district
for go per cent of the cost, the county
