ANOTHER COMPLAINT
BY the Lumbermen Against the Pa
Cific Roads.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE third
complaint of the Northern Pacific
Lumbermen and Manufacturers asso-
citation against the various railroads
was filed today with the interstate
commerce commission. The case is
that of the Western oregon Lumber
Manufacturers against the Southern
Pacific and the oregon and California
railroad. II is alleged that the de-
PENDANTS have increased the rates on
general forest products from the Will
lamette valley, oregon. to San Fran
cisco Bay points on an average Of
about forty per cent The railroads
il asserts. gave as a reason for the
increase that they desired to particle
pate in the prosperity enjoyed by the
lumber producers. The complaint al
leges that the Southern Pacific con-
trolls and operates the Oregon and
California under a lease and that the
freight situation on the Pacific coast
is such that there is practically no
competition among the various lines
handling lumber products. Their
charges, it asserts. are excessive. I'M
just. discriminatory and prohibitive.

CALEB POWERS BOOK
WIDELY SCATTERED
A Sensational Discovery Made While
Examining Prospective Jurymen.

Georgetown. KY. Nov. l5.-During
the examination of special veniremen
at the Powers trial it developed that
Harrison county had been flooded
with Powers published book con-
tanning his speeches and his account
OF his trials. out OF twelve prospective
jurors half had received the book
through the mail from some unknown
source. 1t had been sent to various
precincts from which the veniremen
had been summoned. The discovery
caused decided sensation In court.
The day closed with five qualified
jurors who are yet subject to a per-
emptory challenge by either side. The
prosecution regards the distribution as
the work of some one acting for the
defense while the defense sought TO
show that the book was distributed by
the republican campaign committee in
answer to a number OF pages Of matter
in the democratic hand book. devoted
To the Powers case as an issue IN the
campaign just closed.

mittee of their number, Father Coffin,

defend them against the barbed-W1re
monopoly, MIR. Cummins was retained
as their advocate. They won the fight
and have their attorney to thank for
much of it, You did not stop then to
ask whether Governor Cummins was in
favor of prohibition or high license, but
had he the ability to succeed against
the able attorneys employed by the
barbed- wire monopolists? Your good
Judgment wisely governed your action.
In great contests for the correction

selves to the use Of saints alone, but In
order to be successful we are COM
PEELED to use such material as is most
available for the purpose. Such APP
pears to me to be the case at the pres
ent time.
President Roosevelt, in response to
IA general demand from the people from
all parts of the United States, has in
augurated measures which he deems Of
paramount Importance, and in which
the rank and file of the people of the
country at large, regardless of former
party utilization agree with him;
measures upon which the future well
fare of the people of Iowa largely de-
ponds small step forward has been
taken in this work by congress, under
the influence of the "big stick" for It
is an open secret that a majority of
both houses of congress that passed
the act were really opposed to the
measure.
only commencement has been made
in this important work, and that much
yet remains to be done. He will make
further recommendation as to legis-
lation that is needed, and he will in
sist that congress shall provide proper
measures for the effective control of
public service corporations, and that
they be restricted to their legitimate
sphere of work. until the rights of the
people are entirely safeguarded.
1T is matter of general notoriety
that the people of this country are
calling for increased support In the
halls of congress for the measures
and policies Of President Roosevelt,
and I am quite sure that the rank and
file of the people of this state, whether
republicans dem ocrats OF prohibition
lists, believe that the president is en-
titled to the best help that can be Civ
en- him.
Governor Cummins Is thoroughly in
sympathy with this work. He IS not
timid but has courage and ability to
meet the ablest men in the service OF
the corporations, whether they are in
or out of congress. More than that
he has a way of accomplishing well
whatever he undertakes. He is not
revengeful, but he is persistent.
with all Difference to other candt-
dates it appears to me at the present

| people so valuable services in the
United States senate as he can, and II

gard for you. Father Coffin, remain

AS Il candidate for the senatorship
however. the same people will find lack
of definiteness in the senator's speech.
The statement that no one questions
the advisability of changing the tariff
to protect domestic concerns leaves
more unsaid than said. If it means
anything, what does it mean? That Is
the question that revisionists and
standpatters alike will ask. Tariff re-
vision has been made a direct issue
by Taft and the administration. 1t
will be the leading issue in the next
campaign and the platform stand Of
the party on that issue will predicate
largely defeat or success. 1t is pity
than outlined tariff issue.
1t is rather late in the days work
to take a firm stand" in favor of reg
ulation of interstate commerce and
enlargement of the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission. 1t is
too late by two years to make this a
leading issue. The battle was fought
and won long ago, and we are now in
the reconstruction period. When the
venerable senator's speech is anaylzed
by the voters they are likely to regret
that he found it impossible or mad
expression when this note upon his
trumpet horn had been worth a thou
sand men. And this will be in line
with the senator's plea for fair mind
ed criticism of public men.
Perhaps a completely fair minded
and sympathetic criticism of the sem
ator's speech and past few years
services would pass him by to rest on
those who have urged and are urging
an old man of IS forward to assume a
leadership far too stern for his
strength. The movement for rate reg
ulation was seismic. Old fashions,
customs, privileges and CRAFTS fell into
crushed ENHANCEMENT in the upheaval.
1t was not place for an old or weak
man. The questions that are to be
settled in the next six years are of
similar character. A man at so could
hardly begin the struggle and at the
close o fthe proposed term at Sc he
would have been worth no more than
he would have been In the trial of a
great criminal case in court.

THE INNuMERABlE CARAVAN.

The report of the adjutant general
of the G. A. r., offered yesterday at
the grand encampment, forecasts the
time when the caravan that moves to
the infinite shall have carried with it
the last survivor OF the civil war. The
report Is record Of mortality. In 1890
the membership of the order was at
its hi gh mark. 4O9,4s9. Yesterday the
figures read 222,74s.
The, falling off In membership is at
tribut able only to death. Few MEM
bers of the Grand Army drop their
membership until they drop all other
earthly ties. The soldier stays with
his order How rapidly death is mus
terin.s out the veterans is evidenced
by the figures Of the past years NOR
tally. Nine regiments of 1000 men
fell out and lie sleeping under the
green tents until the final reveille shall
be sounded.
It IS a long look back to the six
ties. In the light of history and ac-
compIishment, a long, long way. We
have done SO much, grown SO great,
solved so many secrets and uncovered
SO much that was hidden. Science and
art and invention have added much to
life. We have gone forward cycles of
old time in the forty-seven years
since the Grand Army came into exis-
tence to begin a. new epoch. II the
limit of mems years shows the day of
depar ture near, the marvellous things
that have been done, the glory of ac-
.cnmpishment, The strides of human
ADVANCEMENT set the day of begin
ming long way back. The men who
are to die have lived long in deeds as
in years. Time is only an incident in
human life. What men do for men is
the true measure of their years.
The time shall come when the G. A,
r. as we know 1t, shall meet no more.
But the time will never come while
the republic exists that the memory
and influence of men who made up the
order will cease. The Grand Army has
written itself into the history of human
liberty and can never die.

ALLISON AT DUBUQUE.

Senator Allison came out of his res
tirement to speak to about forty news
paper men of the editorial association
which met at Dubuque this week. He
is reported from Dubuque to have
dwelt at length on the tariff. saying no
one questioned the advisabilty OF
changing it so as to protect domestic
concerns. He declared that the great
issue of the day is interstate COM
merc,e legislation, on which he took a
firm stand in favor Of regulation. He
declared that progress was the keynote
of American history as now in the
making and closed by urging fair
minded criticism of public men,
The people of the state of Iowa, ir-
respective of party lines and outside
of politics, will be gratified that the
venerable senator Is physically able to

pearance before the editors aWakens a
lively interest as did John A. kasson's
letter written at the age of Sc and

lend an ear to her grand old men who
have seen long service and glad to
learn that aside from the inevitable
weakness of extreme age, they are well
in body and mind. So the state at
large will receive with pleasure the
fact that Senator Allison has recov-

BLOCKING THE PRESIDENT.

1t is announced from Washington
that Congressman Payne of New York
chail'mln of the house ways and means
committee, and Joseph Cannon, the
speaker of the house, will see to it
that very little reform legislation gets
thru the house this winter, even tho
Pres dent Roosevelt may urge certain
measures with all his might. Here W..
have another typical case of longevity
in office. Joe Cannon is past Il years
of aye, has served in congress thirty
one years, or until he is justified In
thinking that he owns 1t. Serene
Payne is past Ga and has served his
clients, the protected interests, in con-
gress for twenty-one years. These men
are both old enough to believe sim
cerely that the past has been better
than the future can ever be and they
have been reelected to congress SO
long that they may be pardoned for
believing that the public is incapable
of knowing what it wants Longevity
is beautiful thing. We all admire 1T
and respect it in others and hope for
it for ourselves but longevity in office
breeds obstructionists and always
blocks progress. The world is driving
past the man who is 20 years old. If
he is a wise man he acknowledges it
and accepts the situation. If he hap
pens to be an office holder he tries to
block the whole highway and keep the
procession down to his pace until
something runs over him, He does this
because the average voter is top in
different to care what is done.
