THE COST OF LIVING.

There is no agreement how the
cost Of living may be re inced, pui
there is agreement that the causes
of its increase are worldwide. l,
seems % follow that any inquiry In
to the ways and means Of making
both ends meet more eaisly ought
also to be worldwide. No country
can hope to reduce its costs alone,
but much might be done by o-opeia-
ton. A bill for an international in
qui y as preliminary to action upon
any agreed course has passed the
Senate, and Is not oppo ed in the
House. Indeed, it would be difficult
to imagine any good reason for OPP
position, but there is dans er of neg
lect in the customary flood Of legisIa-
ton in the closing days Of a 6ns.

the LINCOLN MEMO .lAL

Those who are advocating the plan
Of an ornamented highway from
Washington to Gettysburg as a more
approprIaieand adequate bYexpressive
method Of concentrating the m m
cry Of Lincoln than by the proposed
plan Of Greek temple overlooking
the Potomac, EN- 20 be winning
the attention which the highway
nlsn should lie given. When the
question il freed from the traditional
prejudises which are committed to
the conclusion that a memorial to
'.reat man must necessarily be some
sort Of mausoleum, it should readily
appear that grand Lincoln highway
from the National capital to TIE Ma
tional battle-ground Park, where the
great President made his most fam
Gus idress to the Ameri an people
Is Of far more stately and dignifed
impressiveress than any Greek tomb
would be, no matter how big and
costly.
II requires an imag natl Of some
thing above the commonplace order
to grasp the ultimate significance of
the adyccsted Lincoln way. In time
this highway would become the most
beautiful avenue in all the world
such a road way as could he fourd in
no other country. Il would proper.
~ be made continuously perked
way The rip Of land constituting
the way should not lie ,tss than $50

prevent any erection Of rad houses
or privately owned structures close

strips would make room for tree
planting and continuous ornaments

White House officials announced
tonight that President Taft expects
to observe one Of the ancient Gus
toms Of Inauguration day, abandoned
by his predecessor, and will ride back
up Pennsylvania avenue, from the
Capitol to the White House, with

broken by Mr.. Roosevelt four years
ago when he hurried from the Capt.
tol to the Union Station to catch
train for Oyster Bay, leaving Mr..
Taft to make the journey back up
the avenue with Mrs. I aft at his side.
At the direction Of tee President,

REPUBLICAN PARTY UNITE. YES.

REPUBLICAN PARTY UNITE. YES.
The question Of the amalgamatiou
Of the Republication party and the
disgruntled element thereof who
with less judgment than common
sense, supported Roosevelt in his
wild and reckless game Of rule OF
ruin, is still the talk on the tapis. 1t
is the proper thing to ccme together
Otherwise the Democrats will con-
tinue in power and if the policies Of
that party are the best We had az
well support that party in straight
forward way instead of by indirect
ness. The Republican party is the
same grand old party it always has
been. History proves its policies to
have b en- best for the country. His
tory shows it to have been aggressive
and history shows it to be progress
sive today. The CO.. ditions Of the
country are always changing ami The
Republican party has studiously COM
pretended every situation and met
every emergency consistently and
effectively to the good Of the coun-
try as they have arisen. As it has
doneko, so it can be relied upon to
do in the future. Some of It's policies
now may have out run their useful
ness in the march of progress.
II SO theRepublican party, not having
heretofore shown any unwillingness,
can be relied upon to change its pro-
gramme on public questions, for the
best interest of the people, at any
time. OF what greater force IN
the National welfare could it have
been: what more benign purpose can
be asked of party? Roosevelt
would have taken ;hs II rublican
nomination If he could have gotten it
on the platform Adopted by the con-
ventIon. 1t is Of no use for him or
any Of bis surviving votary to deny
the fact. Is this not shown concIu-
sively by the strenuous effort he
made to get it. Was his acceptance
conditional npon the character vf the
platform adopted ? Certainly not
He made a rough and tumbled fight
and was defeated, and be had not the
moral courage to stand up and take
his misfortune. Then, if the previous
policies of the Republican party were
right and the policies adopted by its
last National convention were proper
" by was there bolt? II was bad
ness, pure and simple, all assertion to
the contrary Notwithstanding

NO DAMAGE RESULTS
FROM PANAMA QUAKE
REPORT OF COLONEL GOETHALS
SAYS CANAL is ABSOLUTELY
SECURE.

PANAMA. Oct. Absolutely no
damage was done by Wednesday
nights earthquake to any part of the
canal"
This signed statement was issued
by Colonel George w. GoethaIs, chair
man and chief engineer Isthmian Ca
nal Commission.
The canal officials are pleased over
the fact that within the space of one
week the Gatun locks have been CALI
ed upon to respond to two supreme
tests, and in each case proved equal
to the demand.
On Friday last il was demonstrated
beyond question that the lOck-oper-
ating mechanism works perfectly and
that vessels can be locked through at
Will. While the earthquake test was
not figured on. the event came oppor-
tunely, inasmuch as It has showed to
the world that 1t viii take more than
the ordinary earthquake to cause Ir-
reparable damage TO the lock struct-
ures and dams.
Lieutenant Colonel Sibert went over
the greater part of the Batun locks in
person and satisfied himself that there
had been no damage. Colonel Goeth-
ais was assured early that the canal
works had suffered no injury and be-
fore noon on the lsthmus practically
every one knew the fact.

DEFIANCE HURLED AT
JUDGE HUMPHREYS.
SEATTLE JCRIST SENTENCES.
OTHER JUDGES ISSUE
HABEAS CORPUS.

SEATTLE, Wash, oct. AFTER
Superior Judge John Z. Humphries
had sent II men and six women TO the
county jail for contempt of his court,
consultation OF other judges of the
superior court was held and Thor
wald Siegfrid. an attorney. who had
previously complained to the Bas AS
scciation Of Judge Humphries' ex-
cessive use Of the writ of injunction,
was sent for by the judges and re-
quested to apply for writ of habeaa
corpus for the prisoners.
Siegfrid applied to Judge Smith for
the release of Glenn Hoover attorney
for the Free Speech Defense League
and ex-Assistant Attorney General of
Washington, and G. NJ. Hodgson. one
OF the signers of resolutions of pro-
test" against Humphries injunctions,
and they were released on their own
recogniZance.
Both men, short time before had
been sentenced TO pay fines for con-
tempt and in addition Hoover had
been forever disbarred" by Hum
phries. Hodgson's fine of s400, his
jail term SIX mOntnS.
Judge Smith said he would release
all the prisoners who sought freedom
or writs Of habeas corpus. Judge
Smith said:
1t seems to me that the petitioners
clearly are entitled to their liberty
pending further hearing. They have
raised a question on which they are
entitled to be heard There is no oc,
casion to allow these men to lie in
Jail pending such hearing"
Judge Humphries was wroth when
he heard of the consultation of his
fellow judges and the release of two
of the prisoners. He called upon a
newspaper office and made state
ment 1enouncing the other judges.
My fellow members of the bench
have conspired against me and have
| fought me from the first They were
against me in my campaign and they
are against me now. Judge Smith had
no right to shove in on this. The righi
o: habeas corpus does not apply ir

K. OF P. CHANCELLOR
BACK FROM A TOUR
JAMES H. GWINN REPORTS
LODGES IN FLOURISHING
CONDITION.

James III. Gwinn, grand chancellor
OF the knights of Pythias. has return
ed from the Coos Bay country where
he attended the district convention of
his order and he is now preparing to
ettend the state convention which
will be held in Portland on October
lS, II and 10.
With him on his trip to the coast
was L. r. Stinson of Salem. grand
keeper of the records and seal. and
he reports an extremely pleasant trip.
Two incidents OF unusual note occur
red while they were there. one being
the start of the over-the-ocean flight
OF Ed Steele from North Bend to va
quina Bay and the other the return
of DR.. Leach, the alleged anarchist,
who was run out of the country re-
Gently.
Mr.. Gwinn declares he was much
surprised at the conditions in the Coos
Bay country. Marshfield he says, is
a very prosperous little city and the
air OF prosperity extends over the en-.
tire countryside. The small dairy
farms and the immense timber belt
makes the country very rich in nat
ural resources, he declares, and he
looks for a great development there
as soon as the railroad, now under
way, is completed from Eugene.
In Portland, the grand chancellor
found. great preparations being made
for the state convention of knights.
The event will be the first of it's kind
ever held on the coast. as Fred L.
Wheaton, supreme keeper of the rec
ords and seal, will come from Mime
apolis to administer the obligations,
He will bring with him the Bible
which was first used by the founder
of the order, Justice II. Rathbone, and
will use 1t in comforting the obliga-
tions of the Page or initiatory rank
upon class of $50. Another feature
of unusual interest in connection with
the convention, he states, will be the
presentation of the play, Damon and
Pythias" in which the historic
friendship upon when the X of p.
order is founded, is the theme.

S0UABBLE MAY CALL
HALT TO BIG GAMES
NATIONAL COMMISSION OPPOSED
TO PLAYERS WHITING
ARTICLES.
(By Hal Sheridan.)

NEW YORK, oct 5.-Discord be-
tween members Of the National Base
ball commission and members of the
Giants and Athletics continued here
and in Philadelphia today The trou-
BILE follows an order from the COM
mission prohibiting the players writ
ing newspaper stories or allowing
their names to be used. The players
declare they intend to carry out their
contracts.
IF the players make good their
threats" replied the commission, the
series will end with the first game"
bers individually for losses if the Sc
ries is stopped
The commissioners side of the
quarrel was given by President John
son of the American league, a mem
Der of the commission.
The purpose of the ruling" John
son said, is to stop the players from
taking. If players rant to write
bona fide articles. let them go to the
headquarters of the commission after
the game where we VIII furnish them
stenographers TO whom they can die
tate We will keep copies of the stor-
les and if the newspapers print them
without substantial changes, the COM
mission will withdrs its objections. y
Hugh Jennings. manager of the De-
troit Tigers, believes the commission
is in earnest and has cancelled his
contract to write for a New York
newspaper. The Giants and Athletics
players are standing pat and follow
ers of the game believe that serious
clash is certain to come. Many be-
lieve the quarrel will result in the
adoption of some plan to determine
the worlds championship other than
the present series or games. 1t is
pointed out that only few clubs have
shared in any worlds series money
since the games were started in 1905.

SCHMIDT Is CAUSE
OF A NEAR PANIC
FILINGS ROSARY AT CORONER
DURING INQUEST ON DEATH
OF GIRL.

NEW YORK, oct. 3.-Without a
show of violence, which IL he is
shamming insanity was marvellous
piece of acting, Hans Schmidt con-
fessed murderer of Anna Aumuller,
nearly caused a panic among specta.
tors today at the inquest over the
fragments of the body of the MUIR
dered girl.
A pitiable object. Schmidt sat hud-
died in a chair when Coroner Fem
berg announced that the mangled
corpse would be buried in the Pot
ters field unless someone furnished
funds to lay it in consecrated grounds.
At the words, Schmidt leaped to
his feet, Jerking something from his
pocket. He wrapped it in a rosary
and hurled 1t at the coroner. The po-
lice seized Schmidt and held him. The
rosary was unwrapped and it was
found to contain a two dollar bill
which he evidently intended to con-
tribute toward the burial.
Several witnesses were examined,
including detectives who made the ar
rest and Attorney Koelbe, Schmidts
legal adviser. who denounced Fem
berg after the inquest for a statement
concerning the girls burial
"As a matter of fact" he said. Miss
Aumuller had more than 5000 in a
bank at the time she was killed and
the coroner knew 1t, as he knew also
there was not the least danger of the
girl being placed in a pauper's grave
He made the statement for effect
When he did so someone in the court
room Uttered which was responsible
for the unfortunate scene which fol-
lowed. My client and regret 1t deep.
ly. My client and / regret 1t deep
him what was the matter ana he re-
piled; These fools had no right to
laugh at me-"
Schmidt sat quietly in his chair af-
ter his attorney had calmed him. The
coroner's jury found verdict that
Schmidt was the murderer and he was
ordered held for the grand jury. II
is expected that an indictment will be
returned shortly.
