made for the state of Colorado to run
it's own police affairs.
1t is an extraordinary situation
when a sovereign state has to invoke
federal aid to keep order within it's
borders, and this expedient has sell
dom been resorted to in our history.
1t has never been resorted to under
circumstances like those in Colorado.
When the riots occurred in Chicago
in Cleveland's session administration,
the president sent troops from Fort
Sheridan into the streets Of Chicago
only when the United States mails
were interfered with.
There must be something radically
wrong, something rotten, in a situa-
ton where great state has to call
for outside military help. This is no
sudden emergency. The Colorado
mine riots have been going on for
months, and they have been, brewing
for years. The civil and military au-
thorities have had plenty of time to
do whatever can be done to relieve
the situation, but apparently things
have been going from bad to worse,
so that finally it has come to the
point where women and children have
been killed by the mine guards and
militia.
What's the matter with public senti-
ment in the state of Colorado? If
these miners are making unreason-
able demands, public sentiment ought
not to support them, but if public
sentiment were against them it would
hardly be necessary to call in federal
troops.
There's something rotten in the
state of Colorado, and it needs no
ghost in armor to point out what it is.
The machinery of the state has for
years been grabbed" by money
backed politicians. The powers that
be control the civil and military func-
lions, but they are not backed by pub
lie opinion Else why is it necessary
after months of trouble to call in
federal aid?

IN A NUTSHELL.

In the last analysis, the toll ex
emption question resolves itself int
the old question of special privilege
"The Public" of Chicago puts the cas-
briefly and pointedly:
The argument against exemp-
ton of American coasting ships
from Panama tolls is as follows:
ut is our canal and therefore our
ships should go through free"
Congressman who use this argu-
ment are well aware that the
ships are not "ours," but the pri-
vate property of certain corpora
tons. They know that to exempt
these ships is to give these pri-
vate corporations free use of pub
lie property. Consequently the
use of the argument quoted is
rank misrepresentation. How fit
for their positions are the Con-
gressmen who use it?
This being true-and who can dis
pute it.-what becomes of the Jeffer
sonian doctrine of equal rights to al
and special favors to none," a funda
mental principle of the Democratic
party. If a Democratic administra
ton undertakes to allow privately
owned coastwise ships to pass
through the Panama canal free Of
charge, it extends special favor te
certai individuals which is denied tC
other individuals. Would it not be a
violation of cardinal principle Of
Democracy?

PRESS OPINIONS
CONGRESS- SAVES A FEW
DOLLARS,
(Woman's National Weekly,

w oman s NdllOldl W6ChlyJ
/ For many years members OF the
senate and house have been allowed
to draw 20 cents a mile each way for
travelling to and from Washington
City. The actual fare is not exceed
ing 3 cents a mile each way, conse-
quently the members have enjoyed a
perquisite of "a cents a mile. The
further a member lived from the seat
of government the more he received,
which was unfair to brother patriots
whose domicile was closer. Recently
the house voted to limit the mileage
allowance to actual expenses OF mem
bers and the dependent members OF
their families, which will include
sleeper fare and meals EN- route. 1t
is doubtful if much will be saved
by the change. The greatest loss
from official perquisites is in the
abuse of the ranking privilege. 1t
is proper that members of congress
should have the government pay
postage on their official correspond
ence, but the privilege is shamefully
abused by some members who are in
the pay Of interests which seek to
COlllI Vi IAE SONCl ilACAl' "A NV ,
fortunately, very few, members allow
the lobbyists for Big Business the u1-
limited use of their franks to send out
printed matter which should be
both printed and mailed at private
expense. 1t is not the legitimate but
the illegal use of the franks which
costs the government many million
dollars year and which adds to the
difficulty of giving better mail service.
Postmaster Burleson demanded that
one, member reimburse the postal de-
partment $4,000 for sending matter
franked through the mails which had
no claim on free transportation. This
may have a salutary effect and bring
about change of the system which
is wrong in principle and which de-
prives the government OF revenues it
should have.

superstItjons Of Miners.

AS man of perilous occupation. the
miner has many superstitions. one
widespread belief is that to Introduce
a rabbit into a mine is to court disas-
ter. and many stories are current OF
latastrophes heralded by the appear
ance of white rabbit to the men
who were doomed to die. He would be
a bold miner, too, who would whistle
at work for whistling ;s direct in
yitation to disaster. and though miners
are clearly folk, very few ever wash
the small of their back, lest the Tco1
should fall on them

Pine Bluff is remarkably fortunate
in having few "sulkers," yet it is an
unfortunate fact that even Pine Bluff
has a few who may be termed "de-
structive knockers" as distinguished
from constructive Knockers" few
who throw cold water on every civic
proposition because as they explain it
they cannot see where l come in, !"
and a few more who refrain from
taking part in the work that they

criticise is when :. plan is being
formulated. 1t is natural that men
should differ, but the main thing is
to accomplish results. That result
is accomplished in any particular man
ner SO long as it is right, is i'm
material. The proper way is to help
devise the plan, and even though
each suggested is not accepted, when
the whole is adopted, get behind and
push.

has need for at this time, when il
has greater opportunities than ever

With the assistance o. big steam
locomotive and six modern dump cars,
Twohy Brothers, contractors of Port
land, are making the fill on the North
Front sreet combination wagon and
railroad bridge for the Oregon Electric
Co., and the city. The contractors hope
to have the work completed within the
next few weeks despite the fact that
the dirt train is hauling material from
quarry three miles north of the city
and switching to the "Y" on South
Front street, hauling the dirt back
north on Front to the bridge spanning
North Mill creek. The automatic dirt
cars carry tons of fill material and it
will not be long before the trestle work
will be bolstered up with solid bank
of earth. Work on the wagon bridge
has not commenced as yet and it is not
likely that he eity's part of the job
will start until the railroad company
has completed its part.

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Baker. of Port.

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Baker, of Port
land, visited at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. W. Hill at the corner of
Market and Fifth streets, yesterday
evening. Mr.. Baker is a former Salem
man, having conducted a meat shop here
for several years. At present he is
travelling for a monument concern in
the Rose City. While on his trip in
Southern Oregon, Mr.. Baker relates an
incident wherein a tombstone and an
exceptionally large lady are involved.
He stated that he called at the home of
a well known Southern Oregon family
and asked them if they were not dcsir.
Gus of purchasing a monument for de-
ceased relatives. The family explained
that a OmnumCnt was desired for a rcla-
tive who had died recen,.y. Further in
quiry as to the deceased one revealed
to Mr.. Baker that the person afflicted
had been confined in the home for a
year by complication of diseases and
later, when she was able to get out of
bed, it was impossible for her to pass
through the doorways of the residence
and that she spent her last days incide
the house. A nice large monument was
sold to the family oy the travelling
agent.
