before it died down some re.
markable wagers were made.
One enthusiastic admirer of
Senator Lee bet $50 60 S25 that
the Senator would be the next
Governor of Maryland. Another
man bet $40 to $50 that Con-
gresham Tom" Parran would
not be renominated. Still anoth-
err bet $40 TO $50 that the next
Congressman from the Fifth

and then some one came along
and wanted to bet that Roose-
Welt would get the vote of the
Maryland delegation. Alto
gether it was a very exciting

When you receive it, or before you

mistake, and it would be impossible

The Difference Between Cheating in
Public and Cheating in Private.

The Difference Between Cheating in
Public and Cheating in Private.
F. p. Dunno, writing the Inter
prefers House" in the December
American Magazine, says in part:
What we have to do is to make
people feel that political dishonesty
is as disgraceful as private dishon-
esty; to force upon men who regard
themselves as leaders of human
progress the conviction that they
must play the game fairly, and that
bribe-giving and bribe-taking are as
shameful as forging notes, or cheat
ing at cards, or pulling a horse in a
race. OF course, there is no compari-
son between the crimes. A man who
would slip an ace up his sleeve or
bribe jockey to put horse in a
pocket is a gentlemanly sportsman
compared with the man who will SOW
corruption through the whole body
of a community in order to gain an
unfair advantage in the game of poll
tics. Yet decent people who will
shun black-leg of the race course
or the card table will not hesitate to
take their dinner publicly in the COM
pany of man VINO is avowedly cor
rupt in his relations with the govern
ment.
"A card sharp is kicked out of the
game. One lapse condemns him for
ever. We have known of brave and
1--WE Think honest man who was pur-
sued to his grave by the mere rumor
that he cheated at cards. Yet a man
may cheat at the far greater game
of politics, he may sell his hand to
an opponent, or throw away the
stronger hand for a bribe, and be
none the worse off in the opinion of
the public. He cant live down a
peek at his neighbor's hand, but he
cannot only live down but he can
thrive on bribing a Judge"

BILL is UNDER FIRE
MedfOrd Rate Law to Be EnjOined
in Federal Courts if Rail-
roads Can Do 1t.

Portland, Dec. 16.-Charging that
the so-called "Medford rate bill, !"
enacted into law by the voters of
Oregon at the general election of
November 5, is not only unconstitu-
tional but discriminatory as well
anI fraud upon its face and upon
the people, railroad attorneys in the
United States district court today ar
gued strenuously in their efforts to
show cause why the court should is
sue a temporary injunction against
the enforcement of the law.
Attorney General Crawford held
that the rates fixed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission are in nowise
interfered with or altered, and fur
ther that interstate commerce is not
affected by the bill.
That the petition which resulted
/ nhaving the rate bill put on the
ballot was circulated by jobbers of
Baker and Medford to a selfish end,
was charged by o. C. Spencer, attor-
ney for the O.-W. R. & N. Co.
w. NJ. Hart, representing the Hill
railroad interests, attacked the new
law merely on the point of its con-
stitutionality. He said that rate men
for the railroad companies have been
trying to fix up schedules in keeping
with the provisions of the new law
but that they have had little success
because of its ambiguity.
