She Wa. a Real Orator.

Senator Beveridge during q recent
visit TO Portland talked about oratory.
The campaign" he said. has given
Us oratory more remarkable for guam
tity than quality. True oratory is that
which brings results. is that which
converts an audience OF supporters.
Such oratory is rare.
Il have a friend whose wife, 'suf-
tragette,' is great orator. Her
speeches from the platform are won
derful, and her husband the other
day gave me an illustration OF the
efficiency Of her private speeches.
IAN agent called on my wife this
afternoon he said. and tried to sell
her a new wrinkle eradicator.'
"'And how did the man make out!
said l.
"'He left in half an hour was the
answer, with a gross OF bottles oil
wrinkle eradicator Of my wife's own
manufacture. that he had purchased
from her."

VIII Roosevelt Be eusY7

In the assertion that Mr.. Roosevelt
will be exceedingly busy for a few
weeks we find room for exception. The
cause of his unusual activity is given
as the arduous task OF preparing re-
ports for both the house and senate on
the secret-service resolutions and the
reply TO the Foraker resolution.
II Mr.. Roosevelt were in the habit
OF dealing with such harsh and hard
things as facts we might agree with
the story. The collection and eolloca-
ton of actual information is neither
an agreeable nor an easy matter. II
requires patience, persistence and the
exertion OF arduous effort.
But Mr.. Roosevelt as a supreme fact
hater will not be hampered by such
obtrusiye and annoying features. lie
will take his stenographer In hand and
out OF the depths Of his fancy dictate
reports which win be marvels OF
homiletics. What has omniscience to
do with mere facts?

People Demand Consideration.

The plea of the trust barons is for a
continuance Of the present regime OF
high prices. 1t can be nothing else.
For If ii were not that. the interested
industries would not be begging for
tariff favors. They are not begging
for something which will do them no
good, but for something which will do
them a great deal of good. But it can
only do this good by keeping up
prices-that is. by compelling the peo-
pie TO pay the difference between the
cost OF an article in the foreign mar
ket and the tariff-made price at home.
The very presence Of these men in
Washington is an admission of every
thing that has been charged-namely.
that protection does raise prices; that
the consumer pays the tax. and that
the question involved is one of privil-
ege and not OF right. There is not one
representative OF industry who has
asked for high protective taxes on the
ground that they would reduce prices.
II these people thought that this would
be the effect OF a high tariff they would
turn free traders tomorrow. There is.
however, a right in the case, and that
is the right of the people Whether
that win receive any consideration is
yet TO be seen.

USE OF HARRImAN's MONEY.
President Roosevelt Must Have Known
How II Was TO Be Spent.

-Four years ago in the last week Of
the campaign Edward II. Hartman
went TO the White House at the in
vitation OF President Roosevelt to con.
fer about the political situation In New
York.
As result OF that conference Mr..
Hartman returned TO this city and i'm.
mediately raised 100000. which was
turned over TO the Republican national
committee for use In this state.
Mr.. Hartman. In a subsequent letter
10 Sidney Webster. declared that as q
result OF the fund he raised, at least
$4,000 votes were turned in the city
OF New York alone, making a differ
ence Of 100000 votes in the general re-
suit"
This money In the last hours OF the
campaign could not have been used
for any legitimate purpose. Mr.. Harri-
man did not pretend that II was used
for a legitimate purpose. On the con-
trafy, he took pride In the fact that
$4,000 votes were changed. making Q
difference OF 100000 votes in the re-
suit. In other words. Mr.. Hartman
boasted that his campaign fund pur.
chased for the Republican candidates
$4,000 votes that otherwise would have
gone to the Democratic candidates.
Whether or not Mr. Roosevelt had
the slightest intention of respecting
the moral obligation" TO Hartman

HIS PLEA NOT GOOD
scHwAB's APPEAL FOR STEEL
TARIFF UNREASONABLE.
Opposition 10 Revision Based Upon Fu-
ture Needs-Present Generation
Has the Greater Right to
Be Considered.

The views expressed by Charles N.
Schwab before the ways and means
committee are susceptible Of no other
Interpretation than that the steel In.
dustry. n not exactly an infant, Is In
q transitional state and until II settles
down TO a firm basis the tariff should
remain as II is This Is contrary TO
n former expression Of Mr.. Schwab's
and directly opposed to the position Of
Andrew Carnegie.
Mr.. schwab justlfies the tariff by ex-
planning that the open-heartk process
OF steel making Is succeeding the Bes-
semer process and that the German
electrical method will succeed all 9th
ers In n few years. These changes ne
cessitate the introduction Of new ma
chinery and the abandonment OF the
old at practically a dead loss. In other
words. protection-high protection
Is essential not only to the fostering
OF an industry but to it's continued
modernization. which 10, OF course, TO
say that a tariff is always necessary
and always win be.
The strange thing about these new
processes In that. while they produce
better steel. they increase the cost OF
the product IL will be a distinct de
parture In tariff making II an attempt
Is made TO anticipate such future
needs. Tariffs, when honestly made,
are designed TO ft existing conditions.
The Dingley law has had longer life
than any OF its predecessors and Il was
long ago obsolete Its most voluble
friends. in acknowledging its antiquity
never fail TO discuss the changed In
dustrial conditions and assert apollo
getically that Il was a good law when
passed and fitted the conditions which
existed at that time.
AS for a revised tariff on steel, con
gress need not concern itself about the
future II is enough II IL takes &C
count OF the present. And the present
is the time when the steel trust has
perfected economies and reduced the
cost Of It's product so that II is almost
without a rival in the markets OF the
world where Il sells steel at a much
lower price than at home. There Is
such n margin between the foreign
and domestic prices of its products
that fear OF the expense attendant on
the Introduction Of new methods OF
manufacture may be dismissed. The
present generation. which has contrib
uted heavily to the success OF the steel
interests. feels that II is time Il had
some OF the benefit of the sacrifices II
has made.

Nalnahle conoh Shells.

The conch shell is highly priced In
India. In many Of the temples they
are blown daily to scare away the ma
lignant spirits while the god receives
his daily meal. A conch with the
spiral twisthigs to the right instead OF
to the left is supposed to be worth
its weight in gold. Some years ago q
conch of that description was offered
for sale in Calcutta, with a reserve
price OF a lakh OF rupees placed on It.
