I noticed recently that Tug
Wilson, a heavy hitter of some
ability, died at Hamilton, o., and
1t called to mind the laugh caused
by Wilson at the expense of the
mighty John L. Sullivan. John
l.. never forgot 1t, either, and all
a thirsty man has to do is to re-
fer to Tug Wilson in Sullivan's
presence to this day to have the
fallen giant buy. II happened
when John L. was In his hey-day,
at Madison Square Garden, in
1882. Sullivan was offering big
money to any one who would stay
four rounds. Wilson took the
contract and would flop to the
floor every time Sullivan looked
his way. This ducking process
enabled Tug to last the stipu-
lated four rounds for which he
received the "crock o. goold.
The occurrence has since cost Sui
Ivan as much as he paid to Will
son.

TEDDY's RoCKING-HoRsE

Teddy had a rocking-horse,
Its name was G. o. p.
He loaned the morse to Willie Taft
Till he could go to see
The big things out in Africa
And take his gun along
And prove himself a true Nimrod.
He proved it good and strong
His gun, OF course, was very large
A regular blunderbuss,
For to be sure it carried a charge
to kill a rhinoceros.
He did not shoot the smaller game,
For Ted's not built that way,
But firmly built his hunters fame
on mighty beasts of prey.
And when he'd killed them by the
score
Until quite satisfied,
He set out for his native shore
With many a curious hide.
And as he reached his native port
The eagle screamed for joy
The nation gave the day to sport
In honor of her boy.
For Ted is not a common lad,
He is both brave and wise;
His fault is that undying fad
He'd rule all meath the skies.
That great canal now being built's
A tribute to his fame;
1t should be called 1.-THE Roosevelt, y
In honor of his name.
OF late he's made one sad mistake,
Though common to most men;
His friends don't think that he should
take
, His pony back again.
He's thrown his hat into the ring
And bids Bill come across.
But Bill will do no such thing
As give him back his horse.

THE PUBLIC SHOULD DO 1T.

Several days ago the East Oregon
ian discussed the evil of large trust
contributions to presidential cam
paign funds and suggested that il
would be better for the government
itself to pay the expenses of the cam
paign after the nominations have
been made rather than to allow the
same TO be financed by such men as
Morgan, Guggenheim and Perkins.
The people are foolish to allow
money from amy old source" to be
used in the presidential campaign be-
cause such money can be used to
distort the situation and bring about
bad results.
Here is a recent sample Of how
the thing goes. Down in the south
the Underwood compaign seems to
have plenty of money behind it. G.
r. Hutchens of Atlanta is the cam
paign manager and writing to ]. E
Gardener of Atlanta, Ga, he gave
the following classic Instructions:
1--WE want you TO give them hell
in Morgan county. 1 enclose you
check for one hundred Cs10O) dollars
81 suggest that you use it for bar
becue and that you get out a good
crowd and rattle the opposition. Or
you can use it in getting the vote
oct.
81 leave it entirely to you"
If the same amount Of money was
sent to each of the other 140 Georgia
counties then some $4,000 was SO
consumed. Where that money came
from is not disclosed, but as Under
wood is a reactionary democrat the
source may be surmised. 1t is sig
rificant that Underwood is winning
out down south.
1t is not from the spending Of the
money that the harm results how
ever. The fault is in the system Of
raising the money. When such
money comes from corporate sources
there IS danger the men who give it
will be unduly influential with those
in charge OF the government. In
other words II the people allow their
presidential campaign 10 be financed
by trust magnates they are liable to
have an administration more or less
under the control of the same men.
The people themselves should pro-
vide. through congressional appro-
priatiops, the money with which to
carry on presidential campaigns. Then

THE PARCELS POST BILL.


The East Oregonian has received
the following statement from Senator
Rourne's office relating to the par
cells post bill that has been introduced
by Oregon's senior senator:
senator Bourne's parcel post bill
introduced few days ago, is designed
to give the people of the United
states as low merchandise rate as
the actual cost of the service will
permit and to base the charge upon
the service rendered. His bill in
cludes what is called zone" sys-
TEN. with rates varying according to
distance This plan gives the advan-
tage to the local merchant. and yet
provides much lower rates for long
hauls than the rates now in force,
For example-the present rate on
merchandise is one cent an ounce,
or Is cents a pound, regardless OF
distance. This is an absolutely un-
scientific rate. 1t now costs, a resi-
dent of rural route 16 cents pound
To have merchandise mailed to him
from his local market, and the limit
is four pounds which would cost GA
cents. Under the Bourne bill the ru-
raj route rate is five cents for the
first pound and one cent for each ad-
ditional pound. or 10 cents for II
pounds, this weight being the limit.
But the Bourne bill will not be
as favorable TO mail order houses as
local merchants have feared. The
proposed rate for a distance such as
that from Chicago or Kansas City to
Oregon is 12 cents for the first pound
and ten cents for each additional
pound or SLIP for II pounds. The
present charge for II pounds made
up in four pound packages would be
S1.76, so that there is a reduction of
64 cents and yet the local merchant
has a rate of Is cents as compared
with SLIP charged on the package
from Chicago. This difference of 81
/ cents because of the greater distance
is believed to be ample protection to
the local merchant and fully justified
sby the cost to the government"
Certainly the bill is right in striv-
ing to fix rates on a basis OF the cost
of service. But whether it actually
does so seems debatable. If a one
round package can be brought from
Chicago to Pilot Rock for II cents il
should not cost five cents TO send thai
package from Pendleton to Pilo
Rock. The rate on local business i!
still too high as compared with tn,
rate on packages from a distance
This may be answered in part no doub
BY saying that the cost Of service
comes not entirely from transporta
tion but from handling also, and tha
a package travelling but a short dis
tance calls for as much handling a
one going a long distance in through
pouch.
If the Bourne bill is given consid
Grafton by congress it seems prob
able that the question as to whethe
or not the rates specified are trul
based on the cost of service will b
the chief bone Of contention.

The scene ends with Higgins welcoming his old vocation as janitor.. Frank L. Wakefield as Kid Wise; Henry P.
