Opposition Already Develops TO
Proposed Reapportionment
of congressman.
BIG APPROPRIATION BILLS
RUSHED TO PLEASE TAFT
President Wants His Legisla-
tive Programme to Have I'm
mediate Consideration.

WASHINGTON. Dec. IA week Of
congress has not cleared the atraosuhere
as to whether there will be any sertous
effort at tariff tinkering While many
pills have been introduced for the repeal
or duties on lumber. food products. coal
and many raw materials, they have come
from tho Democratic minority and ara re-
sarded as indicating the intention OF in
dividuals next session when the Demo-
Gratis Will be in the majority.
In the senate the only tariff activity
has been In connection with the proposed
amendment OF the rules presented by
Senator Cummins- The change suggested
Is designed to permit revision hy sca1ed-
ules and prevent consideration OF su,Srsd-
ments to schedules other than those 5pe-
cially under discussion.
Gall It Objectionable Clotura.
The opposition to tho proposed change
in the rules insists that IL involves cio-
ture In a form that has been re-
pugnant for a hundred years. Friends
of the C,immins scheme point 10 Presi-
dent Taft's Endorsement Of tariff revision
by schedules and declare such a rule IL
necessary II the presidents plan Ia to
carry.
The passage through the house Of two
OF the large appropriations was an un-
heard Of thing In the history Of con-
gress. especially when IT was considered
that they were the Indian and rivers
and harbors bills. both Of which have
precipltated controversies and long de-
bates heretofore.
1t is expected the pension bill Will be
reported from the committee on appro-
priations Tuesday. and that the lcgisla-
tive, executive and judicial appropriation
bills will be brought in Thursday.
Doing Presidents Bidding.
Chairman Tawney has promised Speak
er Cannon and Republican Whip Dwight
that he can report others OF the big
supply bills as rapidly as the house can
handle them. The rush Of these meas
ures through the house at the iustiga-
tion OF the administration 20 open tho
field for tho presidents legislative pro-
eramme promises TO break all records
At the same time there seems TO be an
impression among members that the ses-
sion will prove barren OF results so far
as general legislation is concerned.
Much opposition Is developing against
the passage OF bill to provide for re-
apportionment based upon the thirteenth
census II this should go over until next
session some interesting debates would
result Reapportionment legislation. as
a rule. offers advantages TO the party IN
power but next session the house Will
he Democratic and the senate RepUbli-
can, and many members think II would
be impossible to pass a law under such
conditions unless a compromise is hit
upon.

expression to this idea with the fol-
lowing:
"In brief our program should be
a general revision of popular politics,
OF common counsel, of responsible
leadership. We must supply efficient
leaders and eschew all the lower per-
sonal objects of politics. 1t is case
Of must as we'll as case of may
case of necessity as well as a case of
privilege.
"A new day has come Men and
measures are being scrutnized as
never before. For myself, veritably
believe that we are upon the eve of
new era Of political liberty, when more
literally and truly than ever before
we can realize the ideals of popular
government and of individual privi-
lege."
The most conspicuous apostle of
this same idea is now travelling in
Europe. He calls it the square
deal"

WILL IT BECOME GENERAL?

1t is reported that the 1900 acres
of Morrow county land belonging to
the late ]. A. woolery, will be cut up
into small farms and sold to actual
settlers. The land was recently pur-
chased by a syndicate of North Da-
kota bankers for the sum of $780,
coo.
Now should the new owners of this
land be able to colonize it successfully
their tactics may be followed by
others and we may have general
movement looking to the recoloniza-
ton of the dry farming sections OF
eastern Oregon. Such a movement
would be sure to follow the adoption
OF intensified farming methods in
eastern Oregon. When close farming
is practiced small farms are more pro-
ductive, in proportion to the invest
ment, than are large farms.

CLEVELAND'S WAY.

In 1885 when Mr.. Cleveland came
into the presidency, the Kentucky del
egation in congress, along with many
other influeptial persons recommend
ed b. Thomas for commissioner of
internal revenue. He was most pop
ular and highly qualified man. His
friends grew more urgent in the face
of delay Finally, they went in a
body to the White house and made a
rather peremptory demand. Mr..
Cleveland, more considerate to insist
ence then than later on, parried and
pareyed for awhile. and then he
said:
Gentlemen, has not Mr.. Thomp-
son a brother engaged in the busi-
ness of distilling?"
The answer was that he had.
Now gentlemen" said Mr.. Cleve-
land, that settles it. l will not APP
point him. Find some other place in
the public service and l will gladly
give it to Mr.. Thompson. 1 want to
be nice to Kentucky and
want to be nice to you and him. But
1 will not make him, or any Kentuck-
ian presumably in sympathy with the
production of whisky, commissioner
of internal revenue"
Mr. Taft would have shown wisdom
and forecast had he applied such a
test to Mr.. 'Ballinger. Mr.. Ballinger
had been commissioner of the general
land office. Having drawn a line up
on the good things in the land law
business out west he had resigned
his post in Washington and gone tc
Seattle and put out a shingle. Pros
perity followed, of course He be-
came at once a great land lawyer
That sufficiently disqualified Mr.. Bal.
linger for secretary of the interior. Al
the rest was evitable.-Louisvlle

CAN THEY KILL BEVERIDGE?

From indications there is to be
Eight ito the death" between the
regulars" and insurgents" of the re-
publican party. Quickly following
the bold declaration of Senator Bever-
5de and his insurgent followers in In
diana have come equally strong state
rnents from the other camp.
First comes the announcement from
Washington that President Taft is
6ispleased with the Indiana republi-
cans and to show his displeasure will
mark Indianapolis off the list of cities
he Is to visit on his coming tour.
Whether or not such a punishment"
will drive the Indianans into line re-
mains to be seen. From a stand
point of the party's welfare it might
De better for the president to visit
Indianapolis and talk to the Bever-
idgeites.
But the most severe criticism of the
INDIANA republicans comes from Rep
-esentatives Payne and Dalzell, both
recognized regular" leaders.
Il cannot see how any self-respect-
Ing republican can vote for single
candidate on the Beveridge ticket or
support'the Beveridge PLATFORM" Rep
resentative Payne is quoted.
Il call it the Beveridge ticket be-
cause it is in no sense a republican
ticket"
Representative Dalzell, Of Pen
nsylvania was equally condemnatory
III his remarks.
81 believe now that the democrats
will carry Indiana" he said, "and
what's more, 1 hope they will. l be-
Eeve the next Indiana legislature will
be democratic, and that it will send
to the senate real democrat in place
of Beveridge. II we are going to have
democrats in the senate, let's have the
real thing"
This is party loyalty indeed. If it
Is fair sample Of the harmony that
now reigns between regulars" and
insurgents then the harmony" is
OF a peculiar brand. The outcome Of
the election in Indiana will be await
ed with interest. The regulars" are
trying desperately TO kill off Bever-
idge should they succeed the progress
zive cause will have lost one of its
ablest advocates.

TACTLESS.

NJ. Pruger. the former manager OF
the fashionable and gay Savoy Hotel
in London, has come, at a salary OF
$4,000, to conduct restaurant in
New York.
Discussing success with a reporter
of the St Louis Globe-Democrat, NJ
Pruger said:
Success, leaving aside through
practical ability, which we may take
for granted-success depends on tact
sympathy
I'll illustrate this with an episode
"a Manchester man took. his wife
to the Palace Music Hail. The Palace
girls came on and did their notable
danse aux jambes dams 1'air, or dance
of the uplifted limbs as one might
say in English.
"The Manchester woman, regarding
this dance, shifted
well, that beats me- she said.
Without either sympathy or tact
her husband chuckled:
"'You bet it does!'"

4 FASTIDIOUS CHILD.

He had lemon colored curls and a
nose like a pink button, and his age
was close to four.
He came into the drug store accom-
panied by his mamma and was lifted
on to stool at the soda water coun-
ter.
His mamma ordered two chocolate
dips, and Immediately thereafter the
youngsters face wrinkled amazingly
and he uttered an indignant "Waw-
aw-aw-" His mamma bent over him.
Make Algie's a chocolate soda,"
she said.
The orders were filled.
"Waw-aw-aw!" shrieked the infant.
Again the mother. bent down.
"Algie wants a plated holder for
his glass"
The holder was provided.
"Waw-aw-aw" howled the little
customer.
"Algie wants straw" said NAM
ma
Algie got the straw.
There was a moments silence, dur
ing which the little angel intently
scowled at the clerk.
What is it, dear?"
"Waw-aw-aw"
Once more the mother bent down.
"Algie doesn't like your face" she
said to the clerk, will you please go
away a little while?"
And the clerk cheerfully went
away.-W. r. Rose in Cleveland

PRINCIPLES VS.. POLITICS.

In the early days Of this republic
people paid more attention TO prin-
ciples than TO petty politics. In pub
lie life there were fewer practical
politicians than at present and more
men who were sincerely devoted to
working in broad way for the coun-
try's good.
At this time there are many indi-
cations Of a return to that sort OF
democracy. The public conscience is
aroused against government in behalf
of special interests and against that
corruption in politics that makes priv
leged legislation possible.

Elizabeth. N. J., President Woodrow
Wilson of Princeton university gave
