An Unsatisfactory Session.

An Unsatisfactory Session.
Judge Goodwin, the veteran and
able Republican editor of Goodwin's
Weekly, sums up the work Of the
special Tor tariff session OF congress
rs follows:
This last special session of Con-
gress has, we think, been serious
disappointment to the thinking peo-
pie of the United States. 1t has
seemed more like company Of mer-
chants taking stock and putting
aside the remnants for u bargain sale
than the work of grave senators and
representatives working In the peo-
ple's interest, on great questions.
The general principles Of protec-
tive tariff as understood in this coun-
try are designed, first, OF course, to
raise revenue, and In doing that, to
guard the intesests, not of u few man.
ufacturers or few sheep raisers, but
the consumers, who are most directly
interested. And instead of proseed-
ing rs statesmen, to weigh this mat
ter item by item. from the frs, many
of the peoples representatives, in
both houses, have seemed to be act
ing as attorneys to guard certain in
terests. A strong analytical argu-
ment has not been heard during the
nearly five months session.
OF course, congressman are ex-'
pected, while serving the whole
country, to look especially after the
interests of their constituents. But
they are national representatives,
and while justified In trying to pro-
tect their constituents against OPP
pressive foreign competition, they
have 10 right, In addition to work i
hardship upon their own country.
men. Right there has been the trou-
BILE.
Manufacturers have grown elo-
quent in beseeching that the stand
ard of American labor shall not he
lowered, and the same men have
weeded out their American laborers
and imported from southern Europe
the very cheapest order of white la
bOrers to take their places. And
when we consider the difference I'M
the cost of living here aud abroad we
doubt If the ordinary factory hand in
the United States can lay up - much
as does the worker at the same task
in England.
When created with right mettxes]
and conducted along just lines indus
trial corporations are good for coun-
try. But it is the duty of the gov
ernment to stand between the people
and corporations when they begin to
exact unjust tribute.
Has this duty been first in mind
during the special session? For an
answer note the newspapers which
use much paper and sell it at the
lowest possible price to the people,
have just received notice that the
price of paper will be at once ad-
vanced.
The Republicans in Congress are
taking a great risk OF being defeated
when they call upon the people to
give them a vote of confidence.
The fathers gave to o~the people the
ballot rs their main defense, and
som etimes the people, as moved by
an irresistible impulse, to decide that
Il change will be good thing.

Solves Senatorial Problem,

'ioVcrner Geo. e Chamberlain
was elected l'li!ed States sela-
t@ on tie first ballet to succeed
Senator Charles W. Fulton.
Although Chamberlain was the
peoples choice for United States
senator and there was enough
members Of the legislature
pledged to elect him, a determin-
ed effort has been made for
months past to defeat him. SEN
ator Charles W. Fulton, whom
Chamberlain will succeed, has, it
is alleged, repeatedly urged the
legislature to elect a Republican
instead Of a Democrat, despite
the fact that a majority of the
members were pledged to the PEG
pie to vote for Chamberlain.
The election Of Chamberlain
solves the problem of electing
senator's by popular vote with
out infringing upon the prOvis-
ions of the constitution of the
United States. While Senator
Jonathan E. Bourne and former
Senator Frederick Mulkey were
elected by a Republican legisla-
ture and under the same system
which is being used in Chamber
laln'.s case, the real test came
for the reason that Bourne and
Mulkey are Republicans and
Chamberlain is a Democrat.
Under the Oregon direct pri-
mary law, political parties nomi-
nate a candidate as the choice of
the party, for United States SEN
atOr. For the nominee of the Re-
publicans in the last election
Senator Fulton was defeated by
Harry M. Cake, Republican, al
I'll opgh Oregon is a Republican
state by overwhelming majority.

Great Bend will in all proba-
bility see a number of new build
ings erected this spring. Mrs.
Hiss will probably put up a new
building where the Hiss harness
shop now stands, and new build
ing is also talked of for the lot
just north of this one and oc-
cupied by the 4-11-44 restaurant
and the Bon Ton confectionery
store. Tony Hartman will put
up a fine store building on his
lot just north of the Frazier
store as soon as spring opens,
-uoo osIs s! Su!pEuq Asu g pur
templated by John Wolf, of FL
linwood, who owns the corner lot
of this block, and which is now
occupied by the Elite restaurant.
Taken all together, there will
probably be more good buildings
erected here during the coming
summer than there has for many
a year.

E. Mcbride has practically com

erection of a modern up-to-date
building on the lots owned by
him on the corner of Main and
Lakin streets and occupied by
Henry Myers grocery store, the
L. c. Miller barber shop and pool
hall, and the remains of the
Putnam restaurant. There will
be three large store buildings on
the first floor, the second will be
fitted up for office rooms, and
it is possible that third story
will be added. The building will
be modern in every respect and
when completed will probably be
the finest one in the city.

mighty interesting history woulo
doubtless be revealed.

The present boundary lines between
