BoURBoNs ALWAYS WITH US.

~ NE OF the incongruous things
 in connection with this age of
 progress is the constant pres ence of the bourbon-the man who never forgets and never learns. Ey' ery now and again We meet him. He is the man who thinks reform move ments are passing fancies rather than processes of evolution. With snug selfsatlstaction he revels in thoughts of the day when the old order will re- turn. He is always ready to believe that the time is about at hand again when few superior" men can gath CT in a back office or at club table and arrange the destiny of a State or 9 Nation. He cliugs to the idea that people are coming to their senses and beginning to realize that they are not capable of managing their own affairs and are about ready to syndi- cate government authority again. He sees just ahead the repeal of the di- rect primary and the initiative and referendum laws and all the other laws that have come into effect since the beginning Of the back to the peo- pie" movement.
 In Europe the bourbon always sees the republics about to become man. archies. Just now he is very active over there in predicting that the United States will soon tire of self government and select King. He thinks he sees in the controlling lead ership of the present President in this country an admission of the failure of rule by the masses. and a disposition to place an expert at the head of the Nation
 The bourbon cannot see that Will sons leadership is unQuestioned be- cause he. going to the White House fresh from the people with instruc- tions from them. is striving with might and main and success to trans late the peoples desires into law. No bourbon could learn that because a bourbon's nature prevents him from learning anything. For a century and a quarter European monarchists have been predicting periodically that the American republic is about to become a monarchy. Yet today the country's institutions contain more pure democ- racy than ever before.
 Of course the bourbon is never g careful student of history If he were he would realize that people never surrender rights that they once se- cure. He would realize that fail ures of seIc.govcrument do not result from recessious by the people from advanced positions. Failures have come only when combinations have succeeded in cheating the people and usurpiug powers. The combinations and their methods in turn are defeat. ed when more democracy is applied to the government.

J. Y. c. Kellogg, Charles w. Doyle NEW SIDE TO CANAL TOLLS
 QUESTION.

~ ov. LISTER, of Washington, has
 injected new idea into the dis
 cusslou concerning the repeal of the Panama free tolls provision. He contends that American ships cannot compete on an even basis with foreign ships. Therefore. he says, British Co., lumbia lumber, which can be shipped 10 Eastern American ports in foreign vessels. will have an advantage over Washington and Oregon lumber which must be shipped, if at all, in American bottoms. Gov. Lister thinks the Amer ican umberman of the Pacific coast should be given an opportunity to compete on an even basis with Can adian mills. He suggests, as possible remedies. that American lumber car riers have their canal tolls rebated to them or that foreign ships be permit ted to engage in traffic between Amer ican Atlantic and Pacific ports.
 The suggestions of Gov. Lister are worthy of more than passing notice. The same causes that have operated to force American shipping out of for eign commerce would operate to give Canadians an advantage over Ameri- cans in shipping from ocean to ocean through the Panama canal. However, so far as the lumber trade is con cerned, the objections are more theo- retical than anything else. The fact that American mills have secured many big lumber contracts during the last few years in Western Canada in competition with the British Columbia mills indicate that the Puget Sound lumber industry is not suffering from Canadian competition.

Both Of today's reports are apparently

for him to obtain absolutely positive
evidence of the shooting of Weston

yet all Information he has collected

was In boat on Lake Tamaihua. and

Prominent rebel officials here say
that villa announced before the ulen-

prepared for federal retreat and
predicted that the Huertaistas would

Torreon. This is cause for the be-
lief that hfs forces are close on the
heels of the fleeing column, IL they
have not already overtaken them.
General Pascual Orozco felt the
power of the revolution "Wednesday
when a column of 5000 federals whom
he had led out from San Luis Potosi
against the rebels, were routed by
General AgSerra Torres at the village
of Carovada, about thirty miles north
east Of the capital. Advices to this
effect came today from General Car
ranza's headquarters in Durago.
No mention is made in the dispatch
OF the losses on either side. General
Torres personally led the attack OF
the rebels on the federal positions.

INUNDATED SELF
To SAVE MORGAN
FROM GRAND JURY
Chas. S. Mellen Bares Secrets
of Dead Financier and Tells
How He Was Ousted by
Son

WASHINGTON. May 22.-Charles
S, Meilen. ex-president of the New
Haven railroad, ended his four days
confession before the interstate COM
merce commission today with the
statement that he had subjected him.
self to Indictment under the SHEER
man antitrust law in order to shield
the late J. P. Morgan. This was in
the so-called Grand Trunk conspiracy
on account of which Mr.. Mellen
stands under indictment.
Mr.. Mellen asserted that he wrote
letter TO the district attorney in New
York. assuming entire responsibility
for the so-calleda Grand Trunk deal.
because he realized that Mr.. Morgan 8
health was poor. and that to subject
him to the grand jury proceedings
would probably have resulted in his
death.
Mr.. Meilen disclosed that j r. Nor
gan, Jr., was the New Haven direc-
tor who, after the death of the elder
Morgan, suggested that it was advis-
able for Mr.. Mellen TO retire from
the New Haven. Mr.. Mellen said he
told the younger Mr.. Morgan then
that he had suffered the humiliation
of an indictment for his fathers sake,
and that J. r. Morgan. Jr., turned
TO him and acknowledged that his
fathers health at that time was such
that II would have Killed him.
These remarka BILE statements by
Mr.. Mellen constituted the climax to
his four days of testimony. His ut
terances were delivered under Inn
pressive circumstances, and he gave
evidence of being deeply affected.
The Grand Trunk agreement as re-
ferred to by MIR. Melien was the traf-
fic arranpement entered into between
that line and the New Haven, which
1t was charged resulted in the dis
continuance Of work On the Canadian
roads extension to Rhode Island
Mr. Mellen's final day4 on the wit
ness stand brought forth further in
teresting information In regard to his
dealings with New England politi-
clans. and his methods of handling So
called strike legislation.

There is great excitement at the

American newspaper in 1908. The
article purports to say that there will
be a peaceful conquest of Mexico eff
