The Origin Of the Pork Barrel''

Washington, July 23.-Arthur w.
Dunn, for years in charge of the leg
islative work at the national capitol
for the Associated Press, now repre-
senting the Lewis publications In this
city, reminiscently discussed the origin
of the phrase pork barrel as has been
applied to omnibus appropriation bills
Tom Clunie was responsible for the
expression pork barrel" said Mr.
Dunn. 1T was in the fifty-first con-
gress, the famous Reed congress, that
1t happened. In those days they did
not have omnibus public buildings bills
nor omnibus claims bills. Dave Mer-
Ger, of Nebraska, invented the omnibus
public buildings bill when he was
chairman of the committee on public
buildings and grounds. l do not re-
member who was sponsor for the ON
nihus claims bin, that measure in which
a large number of claims are punched
In order to get the legislation through.
AT all events, omnibus bills are becom-
Ing more and more fashionable, and
the last congress saw omnibus light
house bills, omnibus Indian bills, oirl-
nibus bridge bills and omnibus pub
lie land bills passed. Years ago, / am
told. river and harbor improvements
were appropriated for on the piece
meal plan, each project standing by it.
self. Then there was the omnibus river
and harbor bill, In which all meritor-
ious projects were cared for.
"But to return to Tom Clunie and
the expression pork barrel That was
a wonderful session, taking 1t altogeth-
err, and one of the interesting features
was the public building legislation.
Two days were set apart for the con-
sideration of public building bills. II
1t doubtful whether Tom Reed would
have allowed that time If Seth Milliken,
of Maine, had not been chairman of the
committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds and had everything cooked up
to take care of the Pine Tree state
ahead of all others. Men who had been
fortunate enough to have their bills re-
ported called them up one after an
other and, although the economists

gifts beyond the ordinary. The aud
fence of the late Prof william J.
Rolfe was enormous; but more sig

their knowledge. He, was an editor
more concerned with making his COM

rade of his erudition.s The youngster
in the high school made the discovery,
to his intense surpflEe, that the

has written one-line and two-line COM
ments on certain passages in King
Lear" and Macbeth" that break over
scene and situation as sudden shafts
Of sunlight spring a whole countryside
into feature and color. This Is the
work of literary artist quite as much
as that Of a scholar.
His free omissions from the texts of
the plays have been held to lessen the
value Of his work. 1t is equally true

sages to be expurgated he was, like
all expurgators, inconsistent. It is
much easier, none the less, to find an
unexpurgated text, than another com
menator as pithy, pointed, illuminat-
ing and exact. Professor Rolfe has
contributed to the education of thou

He has added to the pleasure and
profit of thousands more to whom his

or support If the support was
equal they would each poll 10,
600 votes. This causes a split
of the peoples or the anti-ss-
semtlyites' vote and assures sue
cess to the corporations. If the
people centered their vote on
the strongest man in their ranks
they would poll the entire anti
assemblyites vote which would
then give them 80. 900 votes and
nominate their man.
This is a fine and shrewd
game that the corporations are
playing. They have divided the
republican party into two wings,
took their half and held it to-
gether, but made the other half
scrap between themselves, and
will step in and take the prize
which is the bone of contention
and then give them the horse
laugh. But then we are not
bright enough to select candi-
dates so that doesn't make any
difference they tell US.
The primary law was made
for the purpose of giving the
people a square deal, and con-
templates no such g shell and
balll game as is often practieed
at circus tents to catch the IN
wary. The republican party al
ways stood for the welfare of
the masses as against the class
es. But the classes have gotten
into politics and into the repub-
lican party and are determined
to rule or ruin as is shown by
the assembly movement which
has torn the republican party
wide open. The supporters of
each wing of the republican par
ty will soon be called upon to
show which element they will
support. They show in no un-
mistakable way whether they
will stand by the anti-assemly.
ties who represent the interests
of the people, or whether they
will support the assemblyites
who represent the corporations.
One means corporation rule and
the other means people rule.

ARE THE PEOPLE GAINING P0wERi

The eyes of the people of the
United States have been turned
upon the Insurgents of the West.
It is many years since such a
keen interest has been shown in
politics by the masses of the peo-
pie.
The first wave of insurgency
was like a rifle upon an ocean,
but it soon increased to alarm
ing proportions and was then
pounced upon by the corporation
body-guards and the naughty in
surgents read out of the republi-
can party. But to be read out
of the party by those who repre-
sent the corporations was one
thing, and to be read out of the
party by the people was another,
which as has clearly been dem
onstrated in the political fight
carried on in Iowa by Cummins
and Dolliver, in Kansas by Bris-
tow and Murdock, and Johnson
of California. They swept ev-
erything before them like a cy-
clone. The combined forces of
the corporations were hurled
against them, but of no avail.
The insurgents represented the
interests Of the people and I'M
der that banner they were car
ried to victory.
Will the anti-assemblyites lin
surgents of Oregon) carry the
day against the assembly (rail-
road and other corporate inte-
rests) ? Will the corporation
candidates, disguised in poor
mans garb, be able to fool the
people? In other words will
Canncnism and Aldrichism win
against the people? The citi.
zens of Oregon will soon answer
these questions.
