AN AP FALLING MOVEMENT. "A
mouse on q Portland street car the
other day developed a scare of confu-
sion seldom witnessed amid the most
exciting scenes of life. The little ro-
dent had been chased up tree by a
cat, or dog, or the workman in the
street, and had gradually worked its
way out on the end of a branch over
hanging the streetcar track. AS the
car came along the trolley flew of,
struck the limb on which the mouse
was clinging. and shook it loose. The
mouse dropped to the roof of the car,
darted into q ventilator and dropped
onto woman's lap. II then took a
short cut for the pocket in her coat.
Two or three women screamed as
they saw the mouse drop through
the ventilator and cried mouse. "
That was all that was necessary. Wo-
men grabbed their skirts. pulled them
close about their ankles and were
soon tiptoeing on the seats and cram
ing their necks to discover the horrid
intruder. In was then the lone man
in the car cast his newspaper, and
walking up to the woman who had
the mouse in her pocket. said: Il
shall be pleased to extract that ven
turesome little mouse without the for
mality of an introduction, if you will
allow" AS he did SO the women
clasped their hands and unanimously
exclaimed: Isn't he just the dearest

Two Brands of Republicans.

\ standpatter used to be Il bold
and loyal Republican who was salts
fed with the traditions and princi-
plies of his party; the highest measure
OF protection for the benefit of the few
to plumber the many Now the stand
patters are on the defensive, or have
crawed into their holes and are wait
ing until the political cyclone blows
over. On the other hand, insurgent
Republicans are very much in evil
dencc and proclaim themselves favor
able to tariff revision downward, but
they also declare they believe in the
principle of protection " with a dash
of the Roosevelt New Nltionalism
thrown in to give the protective prin-
ciple a more popular flavor.
Judging from samples OF the two
brands of Republicanism now before
us, there is not much to choose be-
tween them; but if obliged to take
one or the other, the Taft brand seems
to have the better taste, for Taft has
tried to do something-even on the
tariff - whereas Teddy did nothing
but tell what he was going to do.
Always big things promised for the
future, changing as the political
weather vane alters, is the COlOnel's
plan of campaign. .t
Whittier would Roosevelt lead US
with his New Nationalism, that means
one thing in Kansas, different thing
in Indiana, and still different things
in New York? There must be stabil-
ity about political principles, or we
would ever be on an unknown sea
with crazy pilot. which means ship
wreck of our hopes OF reform. For
seven long years was Roosevelt Presi-
dent of these United States, and he
kept the country in turmoil; so
much so, that business was disturbed
and the worst panic on record was
the result. Not a reform was accom-
plished. Not one malefactor of great
wealth was nearer a Jail for all of the
Roosevelt raving.
If you hire a man for a certain
work at which he processes to be an
expert, and he shows no good results
in seven years. what do you do? You
bounce him, and do not care to act
upon his advice thereafter. That
is what sensible people have done
with Roosevelt. He is too erratic
to follow; he breaches too much, but
his deeds do not match with his words.

Is ROOSEVELT A POPULIsT Jacob
S. Coxey, of "Coxey army" fame,
says: Roosevelt is populist and
is simply stealing most of the thunder
BOLTS that some of us have been ham,
mering at for the last % years. If
the American people were thinkers,
they would realize how ridiculous are
the claims he is making on conserva-
ton. Why, he only tried conserva-
ton after everything worth conserv-
ing had been stolen or given away.
Those who are called prOgressives to-
day have the same programme the
populists had 16 years ago." How
is this, Colonel? Is Coxy to 60 into
the Ananias club, or do you admit
that his statements are practically
the facts?

TRAINS DELAYED
WRECK RUMOR

Rio Graude trains Nos. and -
were delayed eight hours today by a
wreck on a preceding train at Lark
spur. Colo. ap uint 40 miles this side
Of Denver. The wreck, about which
little particulars were received here,
was reported to have been a bad one
but no injury was done to the passen-
gers or to the train or engine crews.
4 second accident occurred when
freight train No. 65 had two cars de-
rallied above GlenwOOd Springs but
the latter did not delay traffic.
Reports from the eastern slope
state that between Denver and Pu-
eblo the country has been visited by
heavy rains and on this account all
trains have had to run slow and this
is probably the cause of the wreck
near Denver.
The Fountain river between Eden
and Piniou is swollen considerably,
making it dangerous to trains on that
system and a close lookout is being
kept by all trains being run cautious
ly.

RUSSIA TO ANNEX BOKHAPA.

St Petersburg. July IA note
has been sent by the imperial govern
ment to the British foreign office to
inquire whether Great Britain has
any objection to the annexation of
the Kuanato of Bokhara by the cars S
empire.
This note is a mere formality; the
projected annexation was one of the
eventualities implied in the Anglo
Russian treaty of 1907. The reasons
given for the present action are the

Shiite movements. his favor shown to
Persians and certain elements in his
army and court which are all dis

denial Of the charge that he had OBJ

senate through bribery and corruption

William Lorimer Of Illinois. Soon after
the assembling Of the senate Lorimer
arose to question Of personal privi-
lege and began his reply to the charges
that have aroused wide interest. His
statement upon the floor of the senate
had been eagerly awaited by his col
leagues, of whom there was practically
a full attendance, and earnest atten-
ton was given him.
Foremost in the answer Of the sena-
tor to the charge stood his assertion
that it had been formulated by The
Chicago Tribune with the purpose Of
destroying a new banking association
in that city which Lorimer has organ
lied.
Concluding. he offered a resolution
calling for a senatorial investigation OF
the charges against him, this resolu-
ton being as follows:
Resolved, That the committee on
privileges and elections be directed to
examine the allegations recently made
in the public press chal ging that
bribery and corruption were practiced
in the election of William Lorimer to
a seat in the United States senate, and
to ascertain the facts in connection
with those charges and report as early
as possible, and for that purpose the
committee shall have authority to send
for persons and papers and to employ
a stenographer and such other addi-
tional help as it shall deem necessary"
