Incompetence. neglect of duty, waste OF
public funds and many other wrong doinss.

power. and with their usual lack Of
well. Hardly a month ago the Demo
cratic Speaker-designate announced that
he was heartily in favor of the Tariff
Board bill. and not sonly voted for it. but
led considera ton portion Of his follow
ing in the House to do so. To-day the
Democrats. led by Tammany Repre-
sentative, defeated the hill by iilibuS-
ter. Now keen observers are wondering
II this carly overthrow of the leadership
of Mr.. Clark is prophetic OF his entire
term as Speaker.
Just month ago the Republican, m
Surgen,s and the Democrats formed a
coaltca IN the Senate TO force consid-
ration Of the Borah popular election of
Senator'S amendment. and oNerthrcW the
regular Republicans, and ever since there
las been uncertainty and turmoil and q
Woful lack OF leadership III the upper
house. OF which the affirmation OF the
validity Of Senator Lormer's election
was direct and the defeat of the Tariti
Board bin i'm the House an indirect re-
suit. The transition in the House was
OF course. foreShadowed by the NoNem-
Ter elections.
From now on tho Democrats vii, enjoy
an opportunity TO show for the edifca .
!ion OF the country their ln1DbltN 10
work with unity and their incapacity FOR
constructive craftsmanship. Conditions
in the Senate, doubtless, are IN transi-
ton period. What the end will he no
man can foretell. old and experienced
Senators have been defeated. and, in
some instances, at least. successors of a
dcmagogic type have been chosen. II
the session Just closed is to be accepted
as a criterion, the Senate is destined to
depart far from the traditions and the
principles which have in the past made
it the most respected deliberatiVe body
in the world

or certain patents owned by both com
panies. and was TO run for fifteen years
since then. however. an arrangement has
been entered into between the two COM
panies under which they are licensed to
use each others patents. including those

S. P. DEMURRER 0vERRULED
No Final Decision, However, in
Shit To Recover Land.

Ex-Judge Robert 8. Loyett. head OF the
Hartman lines. said yesterday that there
had been no final decision by the federal
court AT Portland. Ore. In tho government
suit TO recover 100000 acres OF land from
the Southern Pacific Company. The court
ne sail. had merely given an opinion over
ruling the companys demurrer and the
latter had ninety days In which To make
answer before the case came up for trial
on its merits.
After the final decision is rendered by
the District Court the appeal will lie direct
~ 20 the Supreme Court OF the United
States.
In answer to the governments suit the
railroad contends that the Supreme Court
has frequently held that the lands were
earned by the company under the govern
ment grants as fast as the adjoining line
was completed.
The Oregon & California Railroad sub
sidiary Of the Southern Pacific did not
complete it's line within the period orig
inally stipulated by Congress and the coin-
pany agrees that had Congress acteo
promptly Il was within its right al tha'
time 10 withdraw the land grant.
Instead Of so doing the time limit Tor
completion OF the road was extended. ana
the condition was added at the time OF
this extension that the lands must not DC
sold for more than s. 30 an acre or in plots
Of more than 100 acres. The company con-
tends that this condition subsequently az
tached is not binding.
