sion and ready to receive COmmunica-
tons This was for President TAFT to

the roll had not been called and called
the attention OF the Senate 10 the fact,
The roll was called accordingly and
showed eighty Senators present
After calling the roll Vice President
Sherman stated the resolution TO the
Senate. and in so doing got his parlla-
meaIary language tangled. This is the
first break he ras made since he has been
Vice President. He addressed Senator
Gallinger as the gentleman from New
Hampshire in accordance with the
practice IN the house. he quickly dis
covered his mistake and corrected him
self. using the correct expression. "the
Senator from New Hampshire" Then
he smiled and the Senate laughed and
the incident was closed by the Vice
President nOddinE his apologies 10 the
Senator from New Hampshire
Senators GallinEer and Cuiberson were
named 90 wait on the President. Sen8-
tor PenTOse announced the resignation

Feared for Fuller's Health.
One Of the prime reasons for not hold
ing the ceremonies outside, in fact, was
that it was feared the aged Chief Jus
tice Of the Supreme Court could not
stand the storm. However, the health
Of many others would have been put
in peril, and il was understanding JuA
fact, rather than his own wishes, that
led Mr.. Taft to consent TO holding the
inaugural in the Senate chamber.
one OF the first men to say the in
auGUral date should be changed was
Senator Lodge This is a calamity"
he declared, when it was found the
ceremony of administering the oath
would have to be held in the senate
chamber. He added that the date
ought 10 be made later
Speaker Cannon, Representative Taw-

Everyone Impressed.

The calamitOus experience of this
year. wherein Washington with 10000
visitors in the city for the Inaugural
ton, was visited by the worst storm
of years and cut OFF from all commu-
nication with the outside world. has
impressed nearly everyone with the ad-
visibility Of changing the date from
March until the latter part Of April
or early In MAY.
It has taken years to get Congress
converted to the need Of changing the
Inauguration date. In spite Of many
grievOus experiences. the old date has
been chung to. In previous years the
Senate has twice passed a bill to change
the date. but Il has been killed each
time In the House. But the terrible
visitation Of yesterday, with the con-
seQuent Inconvenience and suffering.

ARE THE CONSUMERS OF
JOSEPHINE COUNTY GOING
TO STAND FOR THIS ?

What seems to be one of the
warmest contests that has been
waged in Grants Pass for many
day Is the merry war that is now on
between the Grants Pass Rochdale
Cooperative Store and nearly all
the other grocery stores in Grants
Pass.
It was supposed a short time ago
that the Rcchdale store was not GO
ing to be able to get sufficient funds
together to commence business, but
by quiet, yet persistent effort among
the consuming class, enough $1,000
membership stock certificates were
sold to make It safe to commence
business in a modest way, and bill
Of goods was ordered and delivered
at their store at All Front street, be-
fore the opposing merchants realized
what had occurred This was a signal
for the conflict which is now being
waged
Pressure was at once brought to
bear upon the general delivery who
delivers goods for all the other
stores, and the Rochdale store was
denied the privilege Of getting their
goods delivered and were Obliged to
put on a rig of their own 1t has
been reported, from reliable source,
that the matter has been taken up
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1886-1927, 1909-05-14

with the wholesale houses to pre-
vent them from selling goods to the
Rochdale store, also the creameries
from selling them butter.
The Rochdale store Is a co-opera-
tive store, corporation whose mem
bers or stockholders are the collec-
tive owners of the enterprise, and
who receive a refund OF whatever
amount OF profits they put into the
business through their purchases OF
goods; also each stockholder re-
ceives his proportion Of the profits
on all purchases made by customers
who are not stockholders. A similar
store was started at Roseburg about
three or four years ago on practically
the same amount of paid-in capital,
and they now carry over a 100000
stock OF goods and is the leading
store of the town. A repetition OF
| their success is feared by the old-
| time merchants of Grants Pass, hence
their determination to crush 1t In
its infancy if possible. The action
Of the old-time merchants is being
severely criticized by not only the
members Of the cooperative store
but also by many who are not mem
bers, and many have sworn vengancC
on the old stores by declaring they
will give the Rochdale store theil
patronage from now on.
The time Is ripe for cooperative
store in Grants Pass to be owned by
the consumers, and the action taker
to crush it will be the means o
awakening the people to the situa
tion they are held in by the grocer!
combination.
