AmSIICdu idDOT anu Capital. we Ue-
lieve unlawful combinations of cap
ital and rapacious trusts can and
should be regulated by law and we
therefore doubt the expediency of re-
ducing prevailing tariff schedules.
Tariff revision usually promotes dis
aster by affording the manufactur-
ers of cheaply made foreign products
an opportunity to unload their sur
plus stock upon the American market
and thus throttle our home indus
tries to the inestimable disadvantage
of American enterprise and la
bor.
Inasmuch as the Cuban Reciproci-
ty law enacted by Congress some
three years ago, has continuously
worked to the disadvantage of this
country, we believe the repeal Of this
law would be in harmony with sound
business judgment.
We oppose further reduction of
| the tariff rates on imports from the
Philippine. Islands. This Government
has been and is now treating the ma
! tives of those Islands with marvellous
liberality, and is refunding to the
Filipino Government, all duties
collected upon goods from Filipino
ports. We hold that further conces-
sions will prove harmful to home
agriculturalists and wagearners, be-
cause of the enormous discrepancy
between the rates of wages here and
there.
We approve the manner in which
work is being pushed in the construc-
| tion of the Panama Canal, and be-
lieve great benefits will result from
the completion of said work.
We commend the President and
Congress for recent I liberal legis-
lation in behalf of the remaining
members of the rapidly decreasing
Grand Army of the Republic.
We believe that the money OF
America should continue to be the
equal to the best in the world.
We heartily commend our Con-
gressman, Joseph w. Fordney for eff
ficient efforts in behalf of his consti-
tuents.
In view of the reiterated refusals of
President Roosevelt to permit the
use of his name in connection with
the next Presidential nomination,
for that high Office we recommend
to the delegates elected by this con-
vention, the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon,
of Illinois, who has so ably supported
the policies of President Roosevelt.
Four years ago this district was
successful in naming a delegate at
large to the National convention
largely through withdrawal from the
race by Hon. F. w. Gilchrist, in favor
of Mr.. Loveland, therefore be it re-
solved that we pledge our support to
F. w. Gilchrist, of Alpena, in his
candidacy for delegate-at-large to
the forthcoming National Convent

poration what they would never do
for themselves. This is literally true.
Public service corporations have
become so enormously wealthy that
they bid successfully against the gov
ernment itself for the best men. This
was startlingly shown when the gov
ernment attempted to employ en-
gineers to carry On the work at Pan
anna.
Man after man was employed, only
to be taken away from the govern
ment by private corporations that Of
fered better salaries. once such men
fall under the shadow of corporation
domination, even the best of them
take on a tealty to the corporation
that is past the understanding of the
mere citizen who sticks to the old
fashioned ideas of common honesty.
This feature of cooperative control
has developed until now in America
the best minds are engaged in schem-
ing to nullify the laws in the interest
of corporations. Not unfrequently, as
in California these master minds stoop
to the vulgarity If ordinary bribery.
The notification of the law, the cor
ruption of public servants eats at the
foundation of the institutions of the
republic. These loyal servants of the
corporations, then, become traitors
to their country more to be dreaded
than foreign arms.
Under a saner system, where the
people should own and control the
monopolies, private ownership in
which makes the predatory corpora
ton possible, the servants of the cor
poration would be the servants of the
people.
Men who waste their lives in be-
trayal of the people in the interest of
the corporations, would then work
for the interests of the people; in
other words, for their own country.
Where now they spend their lives
pulling down and destroying all that
the patriotic American holds sacred,
they would be engaged in building
up the industries of their country,
thereby Strengthening. instead of un-
dermining, its institutions.
The waste of resources and of
wealth under private ownership has
been enormous. But the greatest
waste has been of men, a waste that
no people can afford.

MILTON EAGLE FOR THE PEOPLE

The Milton Eagle, which is recog-
nized as one of the foremost country
papers in eastern oregon, believes in
statement No. l, and commends the
East Oregonian in its demands that
the candidates for the legislature next
year subscribe to this pledge. The
Eagle says of the recent discussion
of this question by the East Oregon
ian and the Pendleton Tribune:
Some of our exchanges are again
threshing out the statement No. l
proposition. This question was pretty
thoroughly discussed during the last
campaign and very few newspapers
nowadays, we believe, will have the
temerity to openly oppose it.
To us, the matter appears to resolve
itself into a question of belief. Those
who believe that a majority of the
voters of the state should have the
right to choose their representatives
in the United States will favor state
ment No. /.
Those who would prefer to have
their representatives chosen by pro-
fessional politicians will oppose it.
The Pendleton Tribune is one of
the few papers which are opposing
it, but in the case of Editor Geer
il is possible that a personal element
enters into the controversy.
1t is popularly believed that our
genial ex-governor has senatorial as
pirations, in which case we would
commend his judgment in preferring
to take his chances of controlling a
majority of the legislature to trust
ing his hopes on the whim of an un-
grateful people, forgetful of past ia
vors.

SKETCH OF SENATOR WARREN.

Francis E. Warren, who has rep
resented Wyoming in the United
States senate since 1890, with the eX-
ception of the two years from 1898
to 1895, was born in Massachusetts,
June 20, 1874. He was a poor boy
but was able to get a common school
and academic education. He never
went to college. When he was IS
years old he enlisted as private in
the FoIty-ninth Massachusetts volun-
tcers and served throughout the
civil war. He was presented with a
medal of honor by congress for gal
lantry on the field of battle.
He has lived in what is now Wy
om!ng since 1868. After figuring
prominently in Wyoming politics as
member and president of the senate,
member of the council and territorial
treasurer he was appointed COVER
nor by President Arthur in 1885, and
removed by Cleveland the next year.
In 1889 President Harrison reap
pointed him. He served until Wy
oming became a state, and was elect
ed its first governor. In the United
States senate he was one of the fore
most supporters of the irrigation act
and has often been called "the father
of irrigagtion." He was also the au-
thor of the Warren amendment to
the statehood bill, which was de-
nounced by the people of Oklahoma
as an attempt to deplete the school
fund by allowing oil and mineral
claims TO be located on school lands

PORTLAND AT HER BEST.

The people of oregon never before
saw the city of Portland at such a
good advantage or in such a pleasant
mood as during the rose show and
fiesta of the past week.
Not even the Lewis and Clark fair
gave the metropolis such a spirit of
joyousness, such an abandoned air of
jollity and good cheer.
This spirit was everywhere. 1t was
not confined to those participating
in the actual events of the fiesta, but
it was noticeable in the business
houses, in the offices in the
people on the streets, in the crowds
gathered everywhere for fun and COM
panionship.
Los Angeles ana Pasadena can no
longer monopolize the flower carni-
val spirit. Portland has outstripped
them in the first attempt, for Port
land produced and wore her own
IOSes' oHS ulu 'iOt snip III CdIIOduS
from hundreds of miles away. She
wore no borrowed glory Haunted no
throughout. 1t was a product of Port
land soil. the conception OF Portland
people and carried out in Portland's
own unique way.
And to crown the fiesta there was
the noise and song of virile growth
and expansion ringing clearly and in
sistently above the din of the carni-
val. In the heart of the big city
everywhere, are rising steel build
ings, six, eight, ten stories in height.
On every street is the sign of i'm
provement. Everywhere is the token
Of commercial expansion.
Portland is growing as never before.
She is filling out her widespread
borders. She is erecting some Of the
most substantial and costly buildings
on the coast. Her little old struc-
lures, which were magnificent In their
day, are giving place to modern
buildings, twice, three times as large
as the old ones. And every new
building is filled 10 the limit as soon
as completed. There is scarcely
vacant room anywhere.
For these reasons, the people of Or
egon never saw Portland at such a
great advantage ls during the fiesta.
The sight OF the big lusty city inspir-
ed new confidence, gave Oregon a
new inspiration.

AN EASTERN VIEW OF
THE FOREST POLICY

The New York Sun says of the for
est reserve policy of President Roose-
welt:
\ few days age the Sun copied
from Colorado paper an editorial
article declaring that "the entire west
is justly indignant at President
Roosevelt's forest reserve policy" be-
cause, in addition to other alleged
evils, 1t establishes a system as OBJ
noXious and oppressive as English
landlordsm in Ireland" Let us see
how this complaint works out along
the line indicated by the complaint.
Our Rico contemporary admits
that the ostensible purposes of the
forest reserve act is ito preserve the
forests and conserve the water sup
ply" 1t is difficult to see what rea-
sonable objection can be made to
such a purpose. Our forest areas
and our water supply are matters
of vital Importance to the entire
country.
But this complainant, assuming
the right to speak for "the entire
west" declares that in the practical
application of this act "the govern
ments chief purpose seems to be to
squeeze every cent ii can out of the
settlers who have made homes in the
vicinity of the forest reserves" They
are charged a fee If they Craze their
cattle on government land, charged
a fee If they cut government timber,
and are charged "a fee for this and
a fee for that, and these fees go to
swell a surplus in the national treas
ury."
These poor victims of government
oppression have obtained their home
steads from the United States on
easy terms. They are now indignant
because they cannot pasture their
cattle on the public lands or cut
trees in the public forest without pay
ing for the privilege. The principle
involved is entirely clear. If gov
ernment land and public forests in
Colorado or any ether part of the
west are free for the use of residents
of their vicinity so are government
lands elsewhere. The logical extern
sion Of this proposition would give
the people of Washington the right
of free pasturage for cows in the
White House lot and permit them,
without charge or fee, to chop down
the trees on the Mall for firewood.
Our forest laws and our public
land laws are greatly in need of re-
vision. The people are coming, al
thoughiy slowly. to realize this fact.
The moverent in the direction of such
revision encounters bitter and deter
mined opposition from those whose
interests, in some cases merely sell
fish and in other cases merely crimi-
nal have rrofited by the laxity and
the confusion of the laws as they now
stand.
Among the opponents of legislation
in the public interest are these peo-
ple who arc so "Justly indignant" be-
cause they are not permitted to take
or Use government property without
paying for It.

We Americans are coming to face
the fact that our forestry resources,
once so great, are almost depleted.
The high price of lumber tells the
story. And along with the disappear
ing timber comes the drying up of
streams-and consequent sudden
floods. Indeed, the face of the con-
tinent Is being changed by the cut
ting of the forests. We have acted
as IL the bounteous provisions of ma
ture would last forever. We have
been wantonly wasteful in destruc-
tion.-Springfield Journal.

THE WASTE OF MEN.

One Of the saddest features Of pub
lie exposure OF the grafters is that
some of the ablest men in San Fran
cisco are found marked with the
muck Of the scandal says the San
Francisco Star. Men whose lives
should have been devoted to good
citizenship, the upbuilding OF their
city and their state, and the strength
ening Of their country, are discovered
bribing public servants and under
mining national institutions that
Americans have been taught to hold
sacred.
AS all roads lead to Rome, SO in
our day does the road to the cause Of
anything unnatural and out Of the or
der OF things in public life lead to pri-
vate ownership in natural monopolies.
Such ownership results in the first in
stance TO vast corporate wealth, and
in the second, to fealty to corpora
tions instead Of to country on the part
of even the strongest Of men.
II is a common saying that the d.
rectors and captains Of q public serv'
Zee corporation will do for their cor.

FREE RIDES CURTAILED
POSTMASTER BARNES oDRER RE-
GARDING LETTER CARRIERS.

Benjamin F. Barnes, who presides over
the destinies of the city post office. today
issued an order forbidding letter carriers
to ride free on local street lines except
when on official business. The order was
issued as the result of brief but spirited
kick from George II. Harries, vice president
of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company.
Some years ago the Washington Railway
and Electric Company entered into an
agreement with the post Office authorities
to transport all letter carriers without pay
ment of fare, when such carriers were on
official business. Heretofore the test of
official business has been the wearing Of
the carriers uniform. But Gen. Harries
learned according to the kick he made to
Mr.. Barnes, that many carriers riding
back and forth between their homes and
the post Office and riding about town on
personal business without paying fare. Mr.
Barnes order Is intended to stop that.
Folks in the post office are wondering
what good the order Is going to do. They
would like to know, in the event of con-
ductor not asking uniformed carrier for
his fare, or being diSinclined to take 1t.
whether 1t will be considered good form for
the carrier to assault the conductor, fell
him to the floor of his car and insert the
refused car ticket In his inside coat pocket.
The result of the order Is being awaited
lieved. however. that the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company will Immediately
note an appreciabe difference in the gate

RESPITE FOR HARRINGTON.
Folk Grants Bogus Lord Stay Of
Execution.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. July 23.-Gov.
Folk today granted respite of thirty days
to Lord" Frederick Seymour harrington,
under sentence to be hanged at Clayton.
Mo, July d for the murder of James P.
Mccain.
Gov Folk gave as his reason for granting
the respite to harrington that he desired to
have time to investigate fully and consider
the petition presented by State Supreme
Judges Graves and Valiant for commu-
tation of Barringtons death sentence.
Many communications have been received
by Gov. Folk urging executive clemency
for Lord Seymour harrington. Two were
received last night from Judges Valiant
and Graves of the Missouri supreme court
asking for a communication of sentence.
The first was the following telegram from
Judge l.. r. Valiant:
In my opinion the state of Missouri can
not face the world with that record and say
she gave harrington a fair trial"
The second is In the form of a petition
signed by Judges Valiant and w. w.
Graves. 1T reads
1--WE believe the ends of justice will be
better by communication of the
death sentence now imposed upon F. Sey-
mour harrington to imprisonment for life
than would be his execution. and we there
fore recommend such communication"
Judges Valiant and Graves were the
Judges who handed In a dissenting opinion
when Barripgton's came before the
court. Gov. Folk promises a decision in the
matter today.
