An uncompromising resolution must
be framed and passed, ana this, ac-
companied by the endorsement of ev-
cry corporation. firm and man Of
business in Clatsop county, must be
presented, under proper auspices, to
the Interstate Commerc Commission,
and the plea must never be abandoned
for an hour. for this thing Is among
the extraordinary essentials of COM

wrought her discontinue along other

tention, the embassy went on to the
national capital, to take the situation
by storm and compel Mr.. Roosevelt
and his cabinet to yield them the last
of their demands in the crucial prem

turn to the Pacific metropolis and
take the toll Of grateful common
wealth for duty we'll and boldly done.
"They came, they saw and (were)
conquered" The Rooseveltian charm
beset them most hamperingly; the
Rooseveltian argument soon disarmed
them the Rooseveltian doctrine of pla-
eating common sense environed and
subdued them to a point Of complacen-
cy never dreamed of when they start

are returning happy in having diso-
beyed the home injunction and lent
themselves to the larger and graver
program for the common good.
