REPRESENTATIVE c. A. BARRETT
SAYS He WILL KEEP HIS PLEDGE

Athena, Ore, Nov. Especial. J
In an interview with a representa-
tive of the East Oregonian today. C.
A. Barrett, representative from this
county. declared himself strongly up
on the subject of the senatorship. He
is statement No. man and declares
that he will stay with his pledge re-
gardless of the efforts now being
made to influence statement men to
the contrary.
According to Mr.. Barrett, he be-
lieves that the antistatement agitation
that has been on for the past few
weeks is largely in the nature of a
reconnaissance to find out the
strength of the statement No. 1
proposition. He believes they will
find that the statement men are all
going to stay with their pledges and
that when the fact is ascertained the
opposition to Chamberlains election.
will melt away.

Governor Chamberlain was chosen.

on their pledges without being dis

London, Nov 20.-Another sensa-
tion was created here today by the
publication Of what purports to be the
exact interview secured by DR.. w. B.
Hale on board the imperial yacht at
Bergen, Norway, from the kaiser July
19, and which was announced to ap-
pear in the Century magazine but
was suppressed.
The story printed here says the en-
peror is very bitter against England
and is full of yellow fever He de-
clared England was a traitor to the
white mans cause and predicted that
she would ultimately lose some of her
colonies through treaty with Japan.
That the invitation to the American
fleet to visit New Zealand and Aus
tralia was intended to serve notice on
England that those colonies are with
the white man and not with the rene
gade mother country.
The emperor declared that Japan
was even fomenting an insurrenction
in India. He said there was a COM
plete understanding between him and
Roosevelt on this point and that they
intended to divide the east against
itself by becoming the recognized
friends of China.
The negotiations have been pro-
crossing favorably for months and a
high Chinese official, the emperor
said tvp,,ld Snnr ha ,,ici+ipn rarr,o
ny and the United States. Later
terms were to be made. guaranteeing
protection for the integrity of China
and the open door.
Every statesman now realizes, he
declared. that Russia in her great
struggle with Japan, was really fight
ing the white mans cause. Fighting
it miserably.
He expressed sympathy with Rus |
sia, remarking how different it would |
have been if the burden of carrying |
the white mans standard had been !
placed upon his invincible battalions. !
The emperor has been keeping |
friends with the Mohammedan world. |
even supplying them with rifles. be-
cause they are devils in a fight and |
between the east and the
west, wheer they can break the first
force of the attack.
The emperor declared that he be-
ieved the United States would be
forced to fight Japan within 10 years
and he poured a steady stream ot
upon England for two
lc urS.

ness. III he were merchant he
would not be entitled to credit from
wholesale men or bankers or anyone
else.
The movement to get statement
No. men to go back upon their
pledges is really an insult to those
men because the whole thing is based
on the idea that the statement men
may not be honest enough to keep
their pledges"
Not only is Mr.. Barrett strongly in
favor of voting for Chamberlain be-
cause he received the popular vote.
but he also has much confidence in
his senatorial ability, despite the fact
that he is a democrat. According to
Mr.. Barrett. the governor should
make Oregon a very creditable sena-
tor. But regardless of whether he
will or not he should be elected be-
cause the people showed by their
votes last June that they wish him TO
be senator.

Regarding the organization of the
legislature Mr.. Barrett declared il
yet too early to say much He says
the statement men are keeping still
and are allowing the antis to talk
upon this subject. However, he inti-
mates strongly that should the sena-
torial question be brought into the
organization that fact will force the
statement men to unite for their own
defence.

The oft-repeated claim that the deal
ers in futures help sustain the mar
ket when the cotton season is at its
hight is being answered by the
farmers in practical way. If their
financing plans succeed, they will be
able to tell the Spectator that his aid
If it ever did any goods super
fous.
Whatever good comes to the cotton
growers by reason of the existence of
the futures markets is from the alb
ility of the exporters to hedge against
advance sales to spinners If this in
turn enables the exporters to pay a
better price when cotton was coming
in at its greatest volume, it is some
advantage. But as exporters are
prone to buy as cheap1y as possible,
the benefits of this arrangement so
far as the farmers were concerned
were triae vague, at least.
When the day comes that the farm
ers can hold back their cotton and
sell it evenly throughout the twelve
months, the ideal state will have been
reached. The Dallas convention is
wrestling with that problem. If the
scheme can be worked, cotton grow
ers will save for themselves millions
of dollars every year.

CRITICISING ALDRICH's BILL

Former Secretary of the Treasury
Lyman ]. Gage, in an address before
the House Committee on banking and
currency, characterized the Aldrich
financial bill as only patch at best
and as a narcotic whom would lull
into a false security On the other
hand he thought that the Fowler
bill before the House was a compre-
hensive measure, which reached the
fundamentals. Prof. Johnson, of the
New York University, followed along
the same line.
One of the benefits claimed for the
Fowler bill is that under its pro-
visions the treasury's connection with
the money market would be termina-
ted 1t would also tend to give bet
ter control of gold movements, and
bring the banks of the country into
more sympathetic touch.
By general judgment, the financial
system of this country is considered
the worst of all the world powers.
Hesitation to break away from plans
put into effect when the nation was
young has held back reforms, while
ignorance among the people Oh the
subject of finance has prevented an
urgent demand for a change. Thanks
to recent unpleasant lessons, the
people are becoming more widely in
formed on such topics and are urging
relief from dangers of such a crisis
as recently prevailed in the money
market in the midst of material pros
perity.
Senator Aldrich is regarded with
suspicion as being the mouthpiece of
the combination which Tom Lawson
has dubbed the System" The num-
erous criticisms to which the bill is
subjected would seem to indicate to
the lay mind that something better
might be found

DON'T NEED FUTURES MARKETS.

An argument on the functions of a
legitimate cotton exchange was made
before the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton at Dallas on Wednesday by Pres
ident Thompson, of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange His remarks, as
might be surmised, were intended as
a defense of the trading in futures.
His speech provoked many questions,
but little enthusiasm.
Following the speech by Mr.. Thomp-
son a delegate declared that the diff
erence between an exchange and a
bucket shop was about the same as
that between tweedle-dum and twee-
dle-dee. Another delegate suggested
that the meeting proceed to make
arrangements to warehouse and f.
nance cotton, and that what some
body in Liverpool, New York or New
Orleans may write on piece of tbs.
sue paper about the price of cotton is
no concern of ours"
As indicating the temper of the
growers, such side remarks were not
very comforting to the visiting speak.
er. ANY reflection on the value of the
New Orleans market of course applied
with much greater vehemence to the
New York market, which as a gamb,
ling concern has the Southern futures
market beaten to a finish
Certainly it is a good sign when
cotton growers are planning to elm
mate the Spectator, who in the ma
jority Of cases would have about as
much use for a bale of cotton as for
garden patch in the wilds of Africa.
