seductive pamphlets; with hungry
newspapers here and there needing
| financial help, and with Senator
Chamberlain and united Democratic
party to stir up Republican discord,
we have the best organized and most
powerful political machine the State
of oregon ever saw, as any Republican
Senatorial candidate will soon discov-
er if he marches out singlehanded
against it.
The old-time manipulators are sim
ply sailing under new flag, adapt
ing themselves to new conditions, and
adopting more devious and seductive
methods. Palaver and caramels and
soft soap were never more in evidence
and the air is resonant with the rau-
cous yawp of the demagogue about
,'the majesty of the peoples will" !"
"our fmperilled liberties, and the dan
gerous schemes of the politicians who
would insult the intelligence of the
people"
Against these methods we interpose
the advice of tried and trusted leaders
like Hughes and Roosevelt and George
II. Williams. Almost the last public
utterance of George H. Williams was
protest against the present method
which reduces our politics from an
orderly system to a mere scramble be-
tween individuals for office in which
the most blatant demagogue or the
man with the most money would be
the most likely to succeed"
Governor Hughes tersely says: Il
believe in party organization, and de-
sire to see 1t strong, efficient and rep
We shall still require po-
ltical leaders, those who by sagacity
and knowledge Of men command and
deserve a following and blaze the trail
of political action" Then, urging
by party committees, he |
declares that If such nominations are
corrupt or obtuse they would be read /
lily marked and easily opposed" Nom
nations by this method, he says,
would tend largely to reduce the
number of candidates, as the presence
of an unworthy candidate would unite
opposition on the most worthy oppo-
sition candidates"
This week, in a signed article, Theo-
lore Roosevelt declares the Cobb bill
well nigh free from all objections"
and says that there and there direct
has been applied in too
rude shape" so that" while abolish
ng certain evils, it has produced or
blow at Statement No. 1 by declaring
hat voters should be guaranteed the

BETRAY ELOP|NG
GIRL AND WAITER
Coal Dealer OF NorristOwn, Pa,
Declares He Has Located Pair,
but Demands Reward.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10--Demand-
ing $4,000 as his price for revealing the
hiding place Of Miss Roberta BUST de
Janon. the missing heiress. and her
companion, Ferdinand Cohen, the
Bellevue-Stratford waiter, an oil dealer
in Norristown, Pa. whose name the
police decline to give, today declared
he had located the couple.
He said that a man and a girl, an
swering Ia every way the description
of Cohen and Miss de Janon, had been
living in a single room in Norristown
for the last ten days. They had not
been outside of the room, but sent for
the meals which were cooked by the
man.
The oil dealer %telephoned to Assistant
Superintendent of Police O'Leary. and
that official at once sent two detee-
tives to Norristown. which is twenty
one miles from Philadelphia. The man
refused to give any Information to the
detectives until he had received the
$40. 900. Chief OF Police Rodenough, of
Norristown. who was consulted by the
retectiyes, also failed to force the
oil dealer TO talk.
Robert Buist, the millionaire grand
father OF the girl, said he would not
promise any reward in advance.
Mr.. BUST said today:
II have been grieved and surprised
at the belief evidently entertained in
some quarters that my granddaughter
had been restored to me and / had at
tempted to conceal the truth. Nothing
could be farther from my purpose.
when Roberta is hack with me

fore loag-I shall not hesitate to let
the whole world know that she is mine
again and that I have forgiven her.

SENATOR ELKINS TO FATHER
RAILROAD REGULATION BILL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Senator
Elxins. chairman Of the committee ON
interstate commerce, will be the in
strument of the administration in pre-
sentilg to the Senate the administra-
tion bill for the amendment of the in
terstate commerce law. He has not
decided just when he will introduce the
measure, butt will go in within the
next day of two. The Senator is
known for his conservatism in the mat
ter of railroad legislation, but no has
indicated to President Taft his willing
ness to support this measure. Although
1t is along somewhat advanced lines
Mr.. EllSins has reached the conclusion
that it fairly represents modern
thought.
He says that public opinion demands
the government regulation of the rail-
roads and does not consider this OBJ
~jectionable so long as it stops short of
governmental management. He thinks
the bill will be enacted into law during
the present session.
