EACH FACTION SATISFIED.

The railroad bill as passed by the
senate ought to operate as a great
harmonizer within the republican
ranks. The insurgents supported it,
stating that it was just what they
wanted. Alirich and his faction sup
ported it, saying, too, that it was sat
isfactory to them. This getting to-
gether on the long and short haul
clause OF the railroad bill may be the
forerunner of more harmonious &C
ton between the factions of the re-
publican party. But to the uniniti-
ated it might appear to be an attempt
on the part of both factions to add a
mite to their campaign thunder.
There are some mighty queer devel-
opments in politics sometimes and
this incident may prove to be no ex-
ception.

From Tacoma comes the story of
Tacomaite who died and in due
time went to the other world where
he was ferried across the Styx by
Charon.
Going down a scorching lane the
Tacomaite thought he could discern
some distant trees. Nearly overcome
by the terrific heat, he managed to
crawl and writhe across the burning
sands, and as he neared the distant
place was gratified to note that
things were growing cooler. He
persevered and toward the evening
hour came to a stream of limpid wa
ter There he refreshed himself and
rested through the night. Bright
and early in the morning the pilgrim
started on his way again and trav-
eled through verdant country-the
well-kept roadway lined with trees.
At noon he reached a city and discov-
cred that it was peopled with a col
ony founded by party of late We

rapids in the Styx and had He'll

WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES.

New sensations continue to develop
in the canvass of the Ballinger in
quiry now being made by the con-
gressional investigating committee.
At one time the adherents of Balm
ger use clerk in Seattle Office to
impeach the motives of CLAWS, and
at another time a stenographer is
used by the opposition to make dis
closures which even reflect on the
president. Throughout the course of
this whole inquiry inconspicuous per-
sonages holding merely clerical posi-
tons, have been used to substantiate
or refute grave charges which only
principals should have anything to do
with AS result the whole proceed
ings have perplexed the public mind
and whatever the verdict of the COM
mittee, there will always remain a
bad odor to this unfortunate political
incident
While there is a disposition gen.
orally to attribute the best of mo-
tives to President Taft, at the same
time it is recognized that he made a
monumental blunder in the manner
in which he handled the Ballinger-
Pinchot incident. Knowing the atti-
tude of the Roosevelt administration
on the conservation question, his un-
qualified endorsement of Mr.. Balm
ger at the beginning of his western
tour last summer without further in
quiry into the real causes of the dis
agreement between Mr.. Ballinger and
Mr. Pinchot was indiscreet, to say the
least His pronunciamento with ref

judicious as his endorsement of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill when he dill

VIEW POINTS OF THE PRESS,
Kent His Pledges.

The principal objection to Con-
gresham Miles Poindexter on the
mart of those who berate his char
acter. seems to be that he went down
to Washington and did just what he
said he would do. In other words,
he redeemed his pledges to his con-
stituents, which is more tina the
rest of the republican party did. II
would appear from this that passing

nrime requisite of republicanism, ac-

The West in the Saddle.

The west has broken with Presi-
dent Taft. 1t is looking with hope
and expectation for Roosevelt's re-
turn, as the only man who can re-

west, but in his hands it Ill not be
the old republican party, but an en-
tirely new concern, made up of many
new factors, but all radical in a high
degree.
When it happens, as doubtless it
will, all the radical elements of the
democratic party will join the move
ment, and there will be an entirely
new deal.

our splendid section the power and
prestige it once enjoyed in national
affairs.-New Orleans Picayune.

knocked off his feet by people who

he feels that the years of effort have
been thrown away. The local editor
shrivels him up by writing a LONG
turgid editorial, addressed to him
pointing out his responsibilities and
urging him to shoulder them manful-

reverend gentleman who delivers the

Portland has its Festival of Roses
because nature has been kind, even

They find growing in the yards and
blooming almost throughout the year,
roses such as are dollhouse marvels
elsewhere. Today the annual Festi-
val of Roses is the great holiday event
of the northwest, ami one of the most
unique celebrations in history.
So Many Roses.
Truly, in Portland there are "Roses
fragrant, roses rare-roses, roses
everywhere" as the official motto
tells. Whereas the carnival of sister
cities and the old world often turn
chiefly to levity and revelry, and arti-
fetal flowers and paper confetti, in
Portland the only profligacy is in the
use of roses, 100000 of them, gar
landed, massed or flung broadcast in
the gorgeous parades. The country
side and the towns for miles about
are abloom and the air is sweet with
blended fragrance of garden and field.
Rose Festival week arrives and,
properly enough, 1t begins with Sun
day, when pastors render sermon
tributes to the beauties OF nature,
most highly symbolized in the rose.
The rose offerings are scattered
among the hospitals and sick rooms,
that the afflicted and the unfortunate
NAV first of all have their rose day.

Primary Elections Prevent Corruption


The more completely the bribery
scandal concerning Senator Lorimer
Of Illinois is exposed, the more fully
is the value of the direct primary for
the choosing of United States sena-
tors realized A direct primary law
in Illinois, under which every men,
Der of the legislature would be ex-
pected to vote for the party candidate
for senator chosen at the priamries,
would have avoided this scandal.
Until the federal constitution is
amended United States senators must
be elected by the various state leg
islatures. The only method where
by the people can control such cleo
ton is through primary law. A
majority of the states now have pri-
mary laws of one kind or another,
although some of them are not sat-
isfactory in the power they give the
people in the choice of United States
senators. Practically all the states
without direct primary laws are con-
sidering the adoption of one. The
New York legislature has no less
than five primary bills pending. one
of which is almost certain to be
passed. A general demand is being
made in Illinois for such a law there
as will prevent a repetition of the
Lorimer trouble.
Members of state legislatures in
those states where the primary laws
exist seem to consider themselves
under obligation to vote for the man
for senator whom the voters of their
respective parties select at the polls,
In several states, Washington includ-
ed. there is an optional pledge which
may be taken by candidates for the

Following the vote refusing to seat
the conference-elected members, Bish
op A. w. Wilson rendered his resigna-
ton as a member of the board which
was accepted and the vacancy filled
along with the others. BY refusing
to recognize the selections made by
the Methodist conference, the board
of trustees put itself on record as
standing for self-perpetuating board.
The board at its meeting this morning
repealed clause in the bylaws which
provided that elections to its mem
bership must be approved by the gen
eral education board of the Methodist
church. In taking this step the ma
jority Of the board claimed that the
clause had already been nullified by
the general conference through the
course pursued at the Asheville meet

The gentlemen refused recognition
by the board of trustees today have
not intimated what course they expect
to pursue in the matter, but those in
position to possess information say
they would not be surprised to see the
institution of mandamus proceedings
to compel the board Of trustees to
recognize as members those men des-
ignated as such by the general confer
ence. The subcommittee to whom
the matter was referred yesterday re-
ported against recognizing the three
men by a vote of to 1, Major Mill

PLANS
FOR MANEUvERS
The Two Regiments of Infantry, One
Troop Of Cavalry and Battery of
Field Artillery Will Participate.

Adjutant General Arthur Fridge is
nearing completion of his plans for
transporting the Mississippi National
Guard to Chickamauga on June Both
to take part in the regular army ma
nuevres for a period of ten days.
Owing to the fact that Major Gen
eral Keesler will not be able to at
tend the maneuvres, the governor has
designated Gen. Fridge as the COM
manding officer, and he will be in ac-
tive command of the two regiments
of infantry, one troop of cavalry, bat
terry of field artillery and a company
of signal corps. General Fridge has
designated the following officers as
the brigade staff:
Maj. Gen. 8. H. Magruder, Adjutant
General Maj. Edward Nall, quarter
master; Maj. Gus Aaron, commissary;
Maj. George e. Hogaboom, inspector
of rifle practice; Col. Chas. LeBaron,
surgeon with rank of major; Lieuten-
ant w. w. Routen, aid-de-camp. The
following are extracts from a general
order issued by Gen. Fridge relative
to the event:
1.-THE period of camp will be from
July LIST to July 10th, inclusive, but
on the account of lack of funds, all
pay will be limited to ten days.
"Col. John P. Mayo, disbursing Off
Ger, will attend for the period of the
camp to perform the proper duties of
his office. ..
"No company will be permitted to
attend with less than thirty-eight en-
listed men.
Each company will be limited to
1000 pounds of personal baggage
packed in small cases and plainly
marked.
"Only authorized officers and boni
fide enlisted men of the organizations
and the officers named above will be
permitted to attend"
This order, it will be noted, cuts
out from participation in the event
the stats of the Major general COM
handing and the governors military
staff, composed largely of men with
little or no acquaintance with military
matters, and who therefore have been
the state encampments and
the full pay of their rank.
While the elimination means less gold
braid and brass buttons than on for
mer occasions, it is hardly probable
that the enlisted men and line officers
will indulge in any grief or lamenta-
ton.
