Mr.. Foraker replied: "And prohibition.
l have always been of the opinion that
there is difference between regulation
and prohibition as to everything to be
transported by the common carriers of
this country, but of late years the Su-
preme Court of the United States has
been making some distinctions and some
Determinations. l will not take the
time to 90 into that now, but my own
opinion is that it is not competent for
the Congress, in the exercise of its power
to regulate interstate commerce given it
by the Constitution, to prohibit trans
portation in commerce of any commo-
dity of legitimate character, as COM
merce in coal or any other legitimate
commodity"

THE AUTOMOBILE.
DEATH CLAIMS TWO AUToIsTs.

New York, June /. - Whirling up
Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn at a speed of
80 miles an hour early today, big tour
ing automobile containing a party of
merrymakers who had spent the night at
Coney Island crashed into tree, bound
ed into the air, turned turtle and fell
upon the occupants. Two men were
intantly killed, and two were so severely
crushed that they may die. Two other
men who were in the car escaped almost
without a scratch.
The dead are William H. Goubeaud,
Thomas Nolan.
The injured are Victor Brandes, James
McKenna.
All four live in Brooklyn. The acct
dent is believed to have resulted from a
sudden disarrangement of the steering
gear. Goubeaud and Nolan were instant
iy killed when the heavy car fell upon
them and Brandes and McKenna were
so severely crushed that they were I'M
conscious when they were removed from
the wreckage.

How the Color Sergeant Took Com
mand of the Regiment.
An incident which occurred at the
battle of Dranesville, Va, had a mix
ture of the tragic and humorous that
makes 1t worth relating. The color
sergeant of Colonel McCalmont's regi-
ment was Frank Alexander, a fellow
not counted particularly clever. but
one who was infatuated with his Of
fee and his flag. While the battle was
raging and we were slowly advancing
Frank in his enthusiasm got far in
front of the regiment.
Bring that flag back to the regi-
ment" shouted Colonel McCalmont.
There was no response, though 1t
was evident the color bearer had dis
tinctly heard the order.
Bring that flag back to the regi'
ment" again shouted the colonel.
Sol durn you, bring the regiment
up to the fiag!" shouted Frank furi-
ously, and the colonel obeyed the or
der
When Frank was afterward taken
prisoner he managed in some way to
wrap the flag which was so precious
to him around his body under his
clothes, and so carried 1t with him
until he was exchanged.-Philadelphia

Congressman Fosters attention was

PROUTY TACTICS.
of Press Bureau to Discre-
dit Stanton.

j. A. Chaplin, prominent citizen of
Middlesex, writes the Montpelier Jour
nal as follows:
Editor Daily Things must be
getting pretty desperate in the Prouty
camp when they think best to put out
such rot as the recent article attacking
Stanton as a corporation candidate. This
seems to have all the earmarks of paid
matter although appearing in the Free
Press as communication. They attempt
to prove by inference something of which
they show not an atom OF proof nor can
show. Naturally Mr.. Stantons friends
are somewhat indignant about it.
1t seems a pity that the Prouty mana
gers should have thought it necessary to
descend to such politics.
Everybody that knows Zed Stanton
and there are quite lot of them, know
that from year to year he pays taxes of
large per cent on the dollar-$2 and up
on all the property he owns at legal val.
uation and that he will insist on every
body else doing the same, corporations
and individuals. 1t is the merest twad-
die to attempt to fool farmers and work
ingmen with such stuff as the article in
question and it would be a kindness tc
the Prouty boomers if some friend would
advise them to suppress that line of ar
gument.
Mr.. Stanton's friends have confidence
in him and they are not putting out com
munications which, because of their
scurrilous character, they feel compelled
to hide behind such "nom de plumes" as
Tax Payer, Farmer, ETC., and they re-
sent such anonymous articles.

several men in a group Of takers.
None of them recalled ever having
noted this action and marveled at
the statement that a watch was never

the first whistle is sounded, which is
five minutes before the performance
begins, until the last race is run on the

not need timepiece.
1.-THE first whistle is followed by the
second one five minutes later, and
after that time any one connected with
the show can tell just what acts are
on, even if outside of the tent. The
band is the timepiece with a circus.
Any employee can tell what Is going
on by the tune the band is playing.
The band leader knows just what is re-
Quired when he arranges the music,
and it is unusual for any changes
whatsoever TO be made. The grand
Introductory pageant requires a certain
kind of music. The high school horses
require a cakewalk. Acrobats want a

FRIDAY, JUNE S, 1908.
ANOMALY IN OREGON.
Republicans Sweep State, Demo
crat Named for Senate.

Portland, Greg, June 2.-Gov. George
E. Chamberlain, Democrat, is the choice
of the people of Oregon for the United
States Senatorship to succeed Charles w.
Fulton, Republican, and a Republican
legislature has been chosen to elect him.
Chamberlain majority over his oppo-
nent, Henry NJ. Cake, Republican, will
exceed 1000, It's believed.
Chamberlain's victory is a personal
triumph. Oregon normally is Republic
can and in 1904 Roosevelt's plurality was
42,424. Chamberlain has twice been
elected governor of this State.
HOW CHAMBERLAIN WINS.
The selection of Chamberlain by the
people is preliminary step to the Sen
atorship. In Oregon candidates for the
legislature align themselves either in the
Statement No. l" column or in the
"Anti-statement No. 1" column. Estate
ment No. l" is a pledge to support in the
legislature the candidate having the in
dorsement of the people, and the ants
prefer to elect Senator of their own po-
litical faith.
The legislature, as indicated by the re-
turns, will be almost unanimously Re-
publican, and it will probably be the lot
of a Republican legislature to send a
Democrat to the Senate. Already there
is talk of defections from the ranks of
the Statement No. /" legislators, and it
is not impossible that in the seven
months intervening between now and the
date of the next session of the Legislature
some plan may be devised to defeat Cham
berlain and send a Republican to the
United States Senate.
MAJORITY Is BOUND.
From the figures at hand it would ap-
ment No. l" men in the next Legislature,
1t requires forty-six votes to elect.
Prohibition was an important feature
in the election, the nti.saloon element
making a surprising showing. From the
returns at hand it is believed that nine
teen counties voted dry" in doubt. four;
now dry, one; partly dry. three.
The following Republican candidates
are known to be elected:
Representative, First district-Willis
c. Hawley; Second district, w. R. Ellis
Justice of Supreme Court-Robert S.
Bean.
Dairy and food commissioner. w

Railroad commissioners-Tho R
