DEMOCRATS HAVE MADE GOOD
IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

tinued by the committees after the ad-
iournment, and their reports will be
made at the next regular session.
Ready for Wool Revision.
Now, the Democrats h5ye unant-
mously placed themselves behind a bill
revising Schedule K of the Payne-Al-
drich tariff, efelting a reduction in
the duties on wool Of about ~ per
cent. Their caucus action clears the
path for this bill and it will go to the
Senate in about wo weeks. When it
lis finally out of the way the House
decks will be cleared.
1t is not the intention of the
House Democratic leaders to take up
at this time a revision of the cotton
schedule They believe that they have
accomplished at this session all the
country expects Of the party and that
to attempt anything like a general re-
vision of the tariff schedules would
be unwise, particularly as it would
tend to prolong the special session Of
Congress and keep business conditions
in the country unsettled
The adoption of the Underwood wool
bill was the GROWING achievement Of
the Democratic forces in the House.
Ut was upon this rock-the tartff-that
the split in the ranks was predicted,
and for a while after Mr.. Bryan got in
to the fight it looked as if the predic-
ton would be fulfilled.
Perfect Harmony Prevails.
That out of all the bitterness and
discord which Mr.. Bryan succeeded IN
creating by his denunciation of Demo,
Gratis who did not favor free wool there
should ensue as complete a degree OF
harmony and good feeling as exists
the Democratic elements today
is regarded as a singular tribute to
the spirit animating Democratic Con-
gressmen here
There cannot be found today a single
kicker" The leaders of the free
wool fight are as enthusiastic over the
harmony as are those who opposed free
wool and won. There is not a break
in the lines, and when the bill is voted
upon week after next it will have the
support of a solidifed and satisfied
Democracy.
The settlement of the wool contro
versy transfers the interest wholly to
the Senate, and from now on that body
will monopolize the limelight
In striking contrast to the two
months record of the House the Senate
in that period has done absolutely
nothing save adopt a resolution order
ing reinvestigation of the Lorimer
case. All of the big bills passed by
the House have been lying in the Sen
ate committees for weeks, with the ex-
ception of that providing for direct
election of Senators. The Finance
Committee has been holding intermin-
able hearings on the reciprocity agree
ment, but the other measures have
not even been considered by their re
spective committees.

Washington, June THE last link
in the record Of the Democratic House
for the special session Of Congress OF
1910 has been forged.
The action Of the caucus in unani-
mously adopting the Underwood Wool
bill solves the last big problem before
the Democratic leaders and there are
row no breakers ahead
SO far as the House is concerned,
their work is practically complete and
they are entitled to the commentator
Of the country for the broad-minded,
statesmanlike, wholly creditable way
in which they have met their respon-
simbiIities and acquitted themselves.
Their refusal to play small politics
and the decision, promptness and SOL
idity with which the Democrats have
acted have unquescionably strengthen
ed the party throughout the nation and
increased the confidence of the people
in it's sincerity Of purpose and respon-
siveness.
1t is doubtful whether any previoua
House of Representatives has achieved
a record that equals the one construct
ed by the Democracy in the two short
months of this session. In the begin
ming OF April a legislative program
was mapped out in a Democratic eau
Gus. 1t was an ambitious and progress
sive program, and was received with
bowls of derision from the Republican
camp, where the conviction was then
firmly lodged that the Democrats could
be depended upon to destroy them
that the Democratic party was
incapable of constructive action and
lacked the cohesive power to hold to-
gether over any great question.
Topped on Useless Employees.
The Democratic leaders quietly went
ahead with their work. The first thine
they did was to lop off the public pay
roll nearly 100 utterly useless employ
ss, placed there by Republicans. By
refraining from filling these places
with Democrats they save about $780,
300 yearly of the peoples money. Then
the House settled down and did these
things:
Passed the Canadian reciprocity ag-
reement.
Passed the bill providing for public
ity of campaign contributions.
Passed the resolution for direct ell
ection of United States Senators.
Passed the Free List Bill, removing
the tariff duty from many necessities
of life.
Passed the bill admitting Arizona
and New Mexico to Statehood.
In the intervals between the passage
of these measures it inaugurated in
yestigations into the various depart
ments of the Government, with a view
of checking extravaganza and prevent
ing waste, and it likewise started in
quiries into the history and habits of
some of the more impressive of the
predatory trusts.
These Investigations will be con-

STATE HIGH SCHOOLS
SHOW GREAT GROWTH

University of Oregon, Eugene, Feb.
24.-The state high school system of
Oregon has shown marvellous growth
within the last ten years. There are
now close to one hundred fifty schools
with work above the eighth grade.
against six in 1900. OF the present
number, eighty-eight have the full
four years state high school course.
These schools are accredited at the
University, their graduates being ad-
mitted without examination.
In 1SSS there was but one high
school in the state, which was at
Portland. A second one was estab-
lished at Astoria in 1892 and a third
az Medford in 1895. Eugene, Baker
City and Salem rapidly followed with
high schools. The period of greatest
growth began when the University
abolished its preparatory academy in
1904. In the succeeding four years
the total number of high schools
jumped to about seventy, with thirty
one schools offering the four years
course. Since 1908 the list of &C.
credited schools has trebled.-U. oi

Especial Correspondence, !

Hermiston, Ore. Feb. IA let
ter has been received by the Umatilla
River Water Users association from
the honorable secretary of the inte-
rior TO the effect that the department
will take appropriate action during
the coming spring to shift the charges
for the project so that those which
are due on December l should become
due on March l Of the following year
with the understanding that there
shall be no general postponement of
time for cancellation for failure to
make payments as required by the
law. This will leave all the STOCK
holders of this corporation in a po-
sition 10 vote at the annual meeting
which will most likely be changed
from the last Saturday in November
to the last Saturday in February of
each year, when all will be qualified
voters who pay their assessments that
are due.
William H. Skinner is expected to
arrive in Hermiston this week from
Washington, D. c., where he has been
in the interests of the desert land
holders of this project. He writes
that he hardly expects to receive ia
vorable rulings at this time, but that
1t will certainly become a law as soon
as the amendment can pass the
house, and in case of an extra ses-
sion he is sure that the amendment
to the reclamation law in regard 90
patents issuing to desert claims will
be passed Mr.. Skinner also has
been looking after the project inter-
ests in regard to graduation of pay
ments. 1t seems that the secretary
of the interior can use his own judg-
ment as to the need of any project ror
q graduation Of the payment, and
only those who ask for same will it
be given.

Use of the Aeroplane i'm Future Sieges


There now exists one open avenue
OF escape to the beseiged that will be
difficult to close: for a blockade of
the air above a surrounded city is
hardly conceivable, and under cover
of darkness or storm it is very diff
cult to see how the escape of balloons
aeroplanes or. dirgibles could possibly
be prevented. Just as those balloons
were carried out of the city of Paris
by the winds. aeroplanes could easily
land within the city bringing news
from without. This fact will have a
very important bearing upon the fin
al result of military sieges; for if
you give man in prison communica-
tion with the outside world his hope
will be revived and kept alive, and
while there is hope there is life"
quite as well as where there is life
there is hope" The best compari-
son yet expressed, and one that sug-
gests great deal in regard to the
future of flying is that the aero
plane will be to transportation what
wireless telegraphy is to communica-
tion."-August Post, on Military
