DIR. WISE ON CONGRESS

ON SECRET SERVICE.

Appoach dying Lion.

The Rev. DR.. Stephen s. Wise rabbi of the Free
Synagogue. at No. 142 West S1st street. in adj
dressing audience that crowded the large hall
of Cooper Union last night supported President
Roosevelt's stand for the Secret Service. When
he announced that he would say a word con-
corning President Roosevelt. man in the audi4
ence called out:
Alas only fifty-two days more"
DR.. Wise asked the speaker to repeat 1t, and
when he did so DIR. Wise himself repeated it,
and said:
"Amen"'
He may have made a mistake said DR..
Wise. referring to the Presidents Secret Service
message. but he made the mistake of an hon
est man. How many of his accusers in the
Senate could make the mistake Of an honest
man? The trouble is, they thought they had
in Theodore Roosevelt what they want in q
President. rubber stamp but instead they
got in him a man. know something about the
Secret Service. I lived in Oregon once. re-
member when Francis Heney came there to
prosecute the land fraud cases. You will re-
member that United States Senator from Ore
gon was sentenced TO prison and that others
were convicted
President Roosevelt has served US in seeking
to know the character OF the men in the Senate
They wouldn't dare to attack him If he were not
leaving office He is dying lion, officially.
In Africa the body of a dying lion is approached
only by the craven. The people of the United
States believe Theodore Roosevelt to be an hon
est and incorruptibe patriot. I blame Presi-
dent Roosevelt for one thng-he has been too
tolerant. He has done the peoples work and ac
cepted the congresses, instead of five years ago
breaking them He compromised with Cannon
ism when he had the power and opportunity TO
break up Congress and submit the questions to
the American people
DR.. wise was thought to refer TO Richard
Croker when he said
NO district attorney ever dared TO convict
man who as a leader of a great political
ganization debauched the city of New York for
twenty years and made it Il kissing and a by
word
At the same time DR.. Wise referred in guarded
language to big financier and railroad man,
who, he said, had been mixed UP in the Oregon
land frauds and had had a tiff with the Presi-
dent.
In closing DIR. Wise said:
The people singulary fortunate in having
a man at Albany who will not faIter. bend nor

Port Huron, Mich, Jan. 10-That the cause of
all the events at Rattle Run which have been
magnified into a murder mystery was the half
insane desire of the Rev. J. H. Carmichael to
obtain an interesting plot for a novel is now
believed, and late evidence strengthens the the
ory that both principals in the supposed tragedy
are still alive. That Carmichael and Gideon
Browning, the supposed victim were seen to-
gether in a Grand Trunk train. bound for the
West, was the statement made to-day by Miss
Clara Wagner and her sister Annie. who lived
for several years near Rattle Run and who
were acquainted with both men.
Eve boarded the train at Goodells, sixteen
miles from Port Huron, Thursday night" said
Miss Clara Wagner, "and we saw Carmichael
and Browning sitting opposite each other each
wearing heavy fur overcoat. 1 think that Mr.
Carmichael recognized US, for he turned up his
collar
When we reached Port Huron Went inside
the station. and few moments later Carmichael
came in, gave US a searching glance. and hur-
ried out again l heard Carmichael preach
sermon only three weeks ago. and do not believe
that / could be mistaken
1t is believed here that the minister planned
the whole affair with Browning to get material
for book Of the dime novel sort and the fact
that he had written book of this kind recently
strengthens the theory. 1t is thought that the
pastor wished to try his wits against the police
officials of the land. confident that any novel
written by him after eluding them would have
an enormous sale An effort to trace the move
ments of the two after their arrival Thursday
night will be made. 1t is thought that Car
michael doubled back on his trail after reaching
Chicago.
This afternoon Drs Ney and Hanson dis
sected the trunk of the body found in the church
stove Both physicians expressed themselves as
positive that il was the trunk of man who had
died very recently This precludes any possi-
bity that it might have been a cadaver that
was burned in the Rattle Run church

pIBLIC OPINION RULES.

Each year one of the leading uni
versity teachers OF Germany comes to
this country and lectures at Harvard
and Is known as the Kaiser Wilhelm
- professor. In exchange each year the
students at the University of Berlin
have and opportunity to hear lectures
by the Theodore Roosevelt professor
from America. This year, President
Benjama Ide Wheeler, OF the Uni.
versity OF California, Is the American
representative. DIR. Wheeler has a
very good knowledge OF politics and
public affairs in general. A few
weeks ago he delivered a lecture at
the great German center Of learning
and the Kaiser eager to understand
American democracy, was present.
The opening sentences OF the lecture
were these:
"Ihe origin of all power In the
United States Is public opinion. The
outward machinery of government,
whether it works at expressing public
opinion or keeping 1t In check, is
never for any length of time power
itself. Public opinion is a power
which often slumbers, and more often
lacks definite direction, Is not In
focus, as we say, but 1t Ia always
there In the background, ever ready
to awake from its slumbers, every
ready to assume speedy shape and
expression. Once IL il stirred up
becomes clearly conscious OF Its
destiny, no statesman dares to with
stand 1t, or should he dare, he van.
ishes without compunction beneath
the wheels of it's chariot"
Now read those sentences over
again. Thre is great deal of truth in
them. When you get most of it.,
ponder the last sentence for a NOM
ent. Now, If you would have proof
that the American professor IL right,
You need not travel far from Hood

TILE CITY ELECTION.


Next Tuesday the voters Of the city
of Hood River are called upon to elect
three Councilmen, Recorder and
n Treasurer, there has been but one
nomination for each office to be hlled.
The nominees are the men who at
present hold the offices to be fled
and, even though there will be no
other ticket in the field, 1t is the
duty OF every voter to go to the polls
and cast his ballot. The citizens
should show their appI eciation to the
three oounciImen who have sacrificed
their time to administer the affairs
of the city and, with hearty endorse
ment, start them on their new term.
Probably the most important work
which ever confronted the city coun-
Gil will be handled next year and the
city fathers should be made to feel
that they have the people behind
them. The officers who come up foI
re- election have administered their
work honoraby and oonscIentiously
and they deserve the approval which
has been shown by the fact that there
is no opposition to their continuance
in office.
Another reason for every voter cast
ing his ballot at the regular election
is that he thereby gets his name on
the pOllbook and is not liable to have
his vote challenged at su bsequeDt
elections. At the recent bond elec-
tion many legal voters had to swear
In their votes because they had ne.
elected to vote at previous elections
and did not have their names on the
poll book.
