ROAD OFFICERS

Agents Of O.-W.R.&N Are
Pleased With Conditions
on Crays Harbor

That freak legislation is largely re.
sponsible for the inactiveness of many
roads throughout the United States, is
the belief of William McMurry, gen.
eral passenger agent of the Oregon
Washington Railroad & Navigation
company, who in company with H. E.
Lounsbury, general freight agent of
the road, visited Aberdeen Thursday.
Speaking Of the railroad conditions
throughout the West, Mr.. McMurry
referred to the bill which will soon be
decided upon in Oregon The bill is
called and initiative freight rate mea-
sure and will practically set the rates
that the company is to pay 1t was
worked up by the citizens of a small
town in Southern Oregon because the
courts and railroad companies could
not see the way clear legally. to give
them a discriminating rate over sur
rounding municipalities.
Mr. McMurry's visit here marked
his first trip to the Grays Harbor
country and he was highly impressed
with the prospects and possibilities of
this district. During his stay here
he was taken about the city, introduc-
generally entertained.
81 like Grays Harbor, and an
stuck on Aberdeen remarked Mr..
McMurry. when asked regarding his
trip here '"The city here is a hum
mer"
Speaking of the threatened car
shortage, Mr.. Lounsbury declared that
it is not as serious as had been en-
pected and that his road is using
every kind of available car to move
the great grain crops either to Port
land or Puget Sound or for Eastern
delivery. Much of the grain is being
carried on fats and gondolas, covered
with tarpaulins.

Scored Reviews Con-
vention Proceedings

What is termed by the staunch and
loyal supporters of the Republican
party as one of the most decisive
blows struck during the present polit-
ical campaign against their opponents
and an event which is generally RI
diculed by the Moosevelts of Aber-
deem, occurred Friday night when
Tom Fisk delivered an address at the
Republican headquarters on Heron
street to an audience of 1856 people.
The audience, it is said, was com.
posed of both Progressives and Re-
publicans, and it is even intimated
by supporters of the new and untried
party that the majority Of his hear
ers were Progressives. OF course,
this is denied by the Republicans
very strongly denied Anyway, Mr..
Fisk seemed to have considerable diff
ficulty in raising to the proper pitch
of enthusiasm, because of his oppo-
nents applauding when there was
nothing to applaud for and refusing
to encourage him with hand-clapping
when he drove home his principal
points. However his address was sin
cere, STRAIGHTFORWARD and as it SEEM
ed to please the followers of the old
rank and file, there should be no COM
plants worthy Of notice. To those
who heard the recent address of Hon.
George Fred Williams, Democratic
congressman from Boston, Mr.. Fisk's
speech was not disappointing, for the
noted Republican orator from Mason
county hurled the lie in the teeth
of his defamers." came through with
the usual pleasant compliments of
liars, thieves, etc., punched Mr. Poin-
dexter few severe jabs under the
belt, and In fact did all that was ex-
pected Of him by concluding his re-
marks with a rousing viva la Re
publicanism." He also won many
friends and admirers by terminig Alb

lecture. r3

Mr.. Fisk said few things about
Miles Poindexter, which made de-
cided hit with his admirers. He call

man Warburton also got his. After CIV

labor organizers on the Pacific coast
featured the annual tuberculosis day,

Mr.. Cases address was interesting
and instructive, for he revealed tha
truth in reference to the great whfto

victims the dread disease claims an

his auditors sight into the inside

WILLIAMS MAKES
LOGICAL ADDRESS
Democratic Orator Greeted
by Monsterous Crowd at
Grand Theatre
REVIEWS PARTY PLAN
Orator Does Not Engage in
Personalities, But Simply
Tells the Truth

Despite inclement weather and the
fact tnat the noted speaker had de-
cided to visit Aberdeen on the spur
of the moment, as it were, the larg-
est and by far the most enthusiastic
audience yet assembled in Aberdeen
during the present political campaign
greeted Congressman George Fred
Williams, one of the best known ora
Grand theater, Thursday night. The
attendance, it is conservatively esti-
mated was 900 and included large
number of women. 1t was the biggest
political rally, the hugnest success
of the campaign year. And every
body was satisfied.
Refusing to engage in personalities
and confining his address principally
to Roosevelt's and Taft's record, shat
tering the Bull Moose principles, lay
ing bare his record and finally TAX
ing up and discussing Democracy, its
principles, doctrine and qualities, Mr.
Williams address was profoundly log
ical. When TIE orator concluded his
remarks it is safe to say that hun.
'dreds of votes were swung to Will
son, scores of the rank and file of
undecided" voters, convinced of the
pitiful and hopeless struggle of both
the Republican and Progressive pres.
idential candidates followed the only
plausible path-the democratic high.
way to peace, prosperity and con-
tentment.
Introducing the speaker John J..
Carney made a short yet humorous
and interesting address. Mr.. Car
ney urged those in the audience to
not overlook their voting privilege,
that it was their duty as true Ameri-
can citizens, regardless Of political
belief, to 60 to the polls on Novem-

he said, was up to each individual
voter and the great silent vote,

FOR GOVERNOR
ERNEST LISTER
Democratic Candidate Has a
Record Of Which Any Man
Might Be Proud
BEGAN AS A WORKER
Has Always Made Good in
Whatever Position He
Was Called to

SEATTLE, Oct. 27.-To rise from
the ranks of labor to such a posi-
tion of eminence among his fellows
as to make him available for elec-
ton as chief executive of his state
is not proof of a mans greatness.
But to rise thus with becoming
modesty-to rise without bombast;
resorting to the vaporings of the de-
magogue; without that modern ad-
just of popularity, press agent
to rise without nauseOus display Of
any sort and in the face of deter
mined opposition of the powers that
prey-to rise, depending solely for
popularity on merit and a record OF
efficient, faithful service in public life
and unpretentious effort in private
affairs-to rise thus from the hum
bic position of a toiler is to be dis.
tinguished as a man.
Such has been the rise of Ernest
Lister. What stronger proof of his
elements of greatness?
Beginning life as an iron mould
er, he had so distinguished himself
among his fellows that while still
hardly out of his teens" he was Sc
lected by his associates in the Iron
Moulders Union of Tacoma in 1891,
as a delegate to the International
Union meeting at Detriot. He was
recognized as the youngest delegate
ever admitted to the floor of the ma
tional body.
He was still employed at his trade
when he first entered public service
as a member of the city council Of
Tacoma, and it was his standing with
the organized working men that was
responsible in large measure for his
election.
His popularity grew with his pub.
lie service, and in 1896 he managed
the campaign of John r. Rodgers,
who was elected the first end only
democratic governor the state has ever
had. Rodgers appointed Lister Com.
missioner of the states institutions,
and when the law was changed at
succeeding session Of the legislature
SO as to provide for a board of con-
troll, Lister was appointed chairman
of the board and served until 1903,
so that for six years, approximately
he was practically in charge of all
the public institutions of the state.
No fair minded man, be he repub-
lican or democrat, who was a resi-
dent of the state at that time. will
deny that the administration of Gov
ernor Rodgers was the best the state

of the majority of the House Elections
Committee No. 2 in unseating Con-
gressman Theron E. Catlin as justi-
fed by either the law or the evidence
adduced in the contest brought by his
Democratic opponent, Patrick Gill,
pointed to the result of the primaries
in st. Louis yesterday as a vindica-
ton Of Mr.. Catlin.
According to advfces received by Z.

for Mr.. Catlin in st. Louis, Mr.. Gill
was defeated by a plurality of 1890

was renominated without opposition
by the Republicans.
The Democratic State supreme court
and Legislature of Missouri dismissed
all contests brought by Democratic
candidates for State offices when Mr..
Catlin was candidate because of
lack Of evidence of fraud or corrup-

Necessities, Say
Officials.

Advice Is offered by the Health De-
partment in its weekly. bulletin made
public today to persons about to enter
upon their vacation. Particular atten-
ton. II is stated, should be directed
toward the water and milk supply
"Clear, sparkling water is not always
pure water" says the bulletin. Water
from shallow wells situated near stables
is often polluted. Lakes and shallow
streams into which sewage Is deposited
are quite likely to be polluted, and II
IL, therefore, safe when visiting the
country or seashore to use only boiled
water for drinking purposes Bathing
In streams or lakes near sewer outlets
Is dangerous.
Attention should be given the milk
supply. Find out where II comes from,
tainers are clean. II any doubt exists
as to its purity, Pasteurization is a wise
precaution.
Files are another source Of danger.
These pests and filth are always asso-
ciated. Screens. fly killers, fly poisons
sticky paper, and other traps are safety
devices at summer resorts and in the

California Senator Says No
Other Meaning to Treaty
. Is Defensible.

Discussion Of the Panama Canal bill
was continued in the Senate today. Sem

could be no other construction of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, he said. than
that which permitted the United States
to permit the free passage Of it's own
vessels.
Any other Interpretation would be un-
favorable to our own interests. He be-
lieved the Government should be hon
est in dealing with other nations.
Mr.. Works opposed the payment of
tolls by the Government.
THAT would be nothing but rebat-
:ng,' he said, "and rebating Is not very
Popular in this country now"
An alleged protest by the San Fran.
cisco Chamber Of Commerce agains,
rans-oceanic railroads-owned vesseel
being forbidden through the canal was
taken up by Mr.. oWrks. He said good
faith had not been observed In this mat.
ter. The 800 kilograms constituting the
protest he said, in one sense represent
the viewH entertained by the chamber
of commerce and some of them were
not authorized. He detailed the origin
Of the kilograms and read letters to
demonstrate they were obtained under
misapprehension by representatives oi
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
Their purpose. he said, was to have
the Objectionable provision eliminated

PATENT LAW SCORED
AS MONOPOLY Of
ALL MONOPOL|ES'
Reforms Wanted Which Will
Prevent Suppression of
Competition.

Declaring that the patent laws as at
present construed by the United
States Supreme Court give owners OF
patented articles such an unreason-
able control over the resale of unpat-
ented accessories that "a commission
merchant can fix the resale price OF
eggs by delivering them to the groc-
cry man In a patented crate" Con-
gresham Oldfeld of Arkansas, chair
man Of the House Committee on Pat.
ents today submitted a report on his
patent reform bill.
Anyone can patent an ornamental
design to be placed on his goods" con,
tinued Oldfield; then the goods are pat,
tented. The resale prices on articles
| that have been made and sold for 10t
years can be fixed by making use Of q
patented design.
THE question Is not what use ha.
been made. but what use will be made
of this newly declared privilege. II
easily can be converted into plausible
justification of commercial practice,
that have been outlawed in every State
in the Union
The reforms contemplated in the Old
held bill propose to wipe out the patent
big combinations Of capital. according
to Oldfield. to wipe out competition and
thereby set up monopoly of monopo
lies" A compulsory license law is pro
posed, 1t is provided that any vendor
of a patented article who is engaged
| in a combination In restraint Of trade
| shall not be permitted to use his paten
in suppressing competition in some othe
article to which his patent does not ap
ply.
The report declares that the bill will g,
far toward protecting the rights of bot
the Inventor and the public by pre-
venting trusts from abusing paten
privileges and opening competitiv
| markets for inventions, but claims tina
full benefit will not accrue until a cour
Of patent appeals Is established an

cases Is abandoned.
