Conditions Had Changed.

The conditions had greatly changed
since my former employment. largely
because OF the prosecutions against the
company under the ElkIns law. which
I had helped to frame; Furthermore the
employment proposed was different In
its character from that which I had
previously accepted. That Is to say,
instead OF being an employment, as the
former employment was, to aid the
company In complying with the orders
OF the courts and the statutes OF the
state, II was TO be an employment to
resist suits and prosecutions instituted
by the state
submit that these proofs Should be
sufficient to show to any fair and un-
prejudiced mind that was never en-

anything that was in conflict with my

nothing. of the European station, and
is entirely familiar with all the condi-
lions that will arise as the fleet CON
tinues its cruise to the far east.
Admiral Sperry is a native of Brook
Ign, but his family moved to Connecti-
cut when he was youth, and in 1852
he was appointed to the naval acad-
envy from that state. He had no op-
portunity to take part in the civil war,
as he did not graduate until 1866. Dur
ing the next 20 years or so he served
on the Pacific and European stations.
In 1893 he came to Washington and
was attached for two years to the bu-
reau of ordnance, as he was an ex-
pert on such matters. In 1894 he be-
came a full commander, and from July,
1895, to May, 1898. was stationed at the
New York navy yard. Then the Span
ish war came, but still Sperry did not
get his chance to get into fight. He
was attached to the Yorktown as COM
mander Of the vessel and started
across the Pacific to the Chinese sta
ton. But by the time he reached the
other side Dewey had wiped out the
Spanish fleet in Manila bay and there
remained nothing in the fighting line
for Sperry to do. He became a captain
in 1900 and a rear admiral in 1906.
In a technical way Admiral Sperry
has been prominent. For two years he
was a member of the general board of
the joint army and navy board which
considered the question of fortiffca-
lions for the insular possessions of the
United States. Last summer Admiral
Sperry served as one of the American
delegates to the peace conference at
The Hague.

PRESS ASSOCIATION MEETS

AT the meeting Of the editors
Of Oregon held in Portland dur
ing the past week were discuss
ed subjects of great Importance,
such us the future attitude of
the country press which is ex-
planned in the resolutions:
Whereas the association is
now organized upon thoroughly
business basis. be it resolved
that every editor and publisher
so recognize that fact, and from
this time forth pledge to himself
and those dependent upon him,
that his respective newspaper
shall be recognized in business
circles as a business institution
run on strictly business lines in
addition to dissemination of the
news"
Another matter which took up
a great share of the time of the
editors present, was the present
Libel Law and the case of Geo.
Putnam. Following closely as
it did, the recent conviction of
George Putnam, editor of the
Medford Tribune" says the Or
egon Journal, ION a charge of
libeling the grand jury and de-
putty district attorney, the asso-
citation naturally took up and dis
cussed the libel laws of the state. |
AS vindication and a tangible
expression of the sentiment of
the association Putnam was ell
ected vice-president of the assoc
iation by acclamation and the
following resolution passed:
Whereas, The libel law of
this state is unfair and unjust to
the press, be it resolved that the
legislative committee formulate
new bill to be submitted to the
next legislature for enactment,
and that the press of the state
back up said committee in secur-
ing said enactment.
Judge Hanna, who held that
the findings of a grand jury are
infallible and refused to allow
Putnam the privilege of intro
ducing evidence to prove the
truth Of his alleged libel, was
made the butt of much criticism.
While ! am not satisfied with
the ruling of Judge Hanna"
said E. Hofer, editor of the Cap
ital Journal, "as is the feeling
of everyone here, at the same
time his ruling may be right, and
if that is the case the law should s
be revised, and it cannot be done !
too quickly. The libel laws of
this state are so antiquated that !
they are classed with the Oregon ]
boot and other relics of barbar-
ism that existed in our early
period history. There is abso-
lutely no remedy against an un- t
friendly Judge under this law, \
