DEMOCRATS Will PROBABLY

Not only will there be a stiff con-
test at the republican primaries in

Gratis will have a candidate in the field

the democratic nomination. Raley
has been talked Of for some time but
has given no definite answer to those

in some circles that he will not run

! election would entail upon the firm

the contest, while Bishop, in a letter

GOLESWORTHY FOUND NOT
GUILTY IN WEIGHT CASE
JURY DELIBERATES 10 MINUTES
IN CHARGES INVOLVING
GRAIN WEIGHT.

1t took a jury only about ten min
utes yesterday afternoon to find c. F.
ColeSworthy not guilty of the charge
of making false statements regarding
the weight of grain purchased by him
from Manning and Keller Under the
definition Of the word false. as ap-
piled to a statement, contained in
supreme court decision. it was neces-
sary, under the instructions of Judge
Phelps, to find that the defendant
made a designedly untrue statement,
that is knowingly and with an intent
to deceive or defraud gave out incor-
rect weights.
The case was peculiar in that,
seemingly Judge Phelps reversed the
decision he made in the previous case
against Mr.. Colesworthy when the
facts We're stipulated. In that case
the defendant admitted having used
false weights and the state admitted
that the defendant had no knowledge
that the weights were false and that
he did not intend to defraud At that
time the Judge held that it was not
necessary for a knowledge or intent
to be shown to make the defendant
guilty.
The difference between the two
cases is that, in the first, he was
charged with using false weights"
and in the second he was accused Of
making false statements" The su-
preme courts definition of the word
false applies only when it refers to
statement. This definition was cited
and insisted upon by Fee & Fee at.
torneys for the defense, and its appli-
cation to the case at issue was so evil
dent that Judge Phelps instructed the
jury accordingly.
! The evidence Of the state tended to
show that the grain in question had
been weighed at the Willy Welsh store
and afterwards at the Colesworthy
store and that there was a difference
of several hundred pounds in the
weights. Mr. Colesworthy testified
that his scales had been tested and
sealed by the official sealer, and that
he believed them right

AS NEW YORK SEES 1T

"A straw that shows how the
II political wind is blowing
is furnished by the demo-
cracy of New York. In state
convention assembled the New
York democrats endorsed
peace above all things, but not
peace at the price of national
honor" Going on the conven-
ton heartily commended the
attitude of the present admin
istration.
The significance of the stand
taken lies in the fact the New
York leaders do not like Will
son. Tammany Hall has never
liked the president. He was
nominated for president direct
ly against the wishes of the
boss ridden Tammany dele
gates. He has never had their
friendship.
But the New York demo-
Gratis know that the presidents
capable and fearless attitude
on international and national
subjects has endeared him to
the people. He has the pub
hes confidence and support,
He is going to be a winner and
a winner is someone politicians
endeavor not to overlook. The
New York leaders foresee that
the 655,475 votes cast for Will
son in New York four years
ago will be repeated or i'm
proved upon. 1t commands
their respect and their readi-
ness to swear allegiance is
splendid proof they think he
will be reelected. Otherwise
they would be organized back
of some other candidate.

THE SUREST ROAD TO
PEACE

support of the administra'
- ton yesterday Chairman
Flood of the house committee
on foreign relations said:
If we yield to Germany we
will have to yield to the allies;
the whole fabric Of interna-
/ tional law will crumble."
That is a point the East Ore
gonian has previously mention
ed and it is important. Were
we to make sacrifices to the
kaiser we could not in fairness
refuse concessions to England
without antagonnzing tha-
country.
Had congress and the coun-
try failed to back up the presi-
dent in his insistence on Am
erican rights the United States
would have found itself on the
Itoboggan with complications
almost inevitable.
The fearless policy of vii
son is our surest road to peace

because they have an immense
wheat crop each year that has
to be hauled many miles up hill
to a railroad when that wheat
should logically go by a short
.er route to the river. If a paved
road cannot be built to Cold
landing then provide
enough money to construct a
.macadam road or a we'll built
road of some other class. The
situation calls for relief for
those people.
The East Oregonian bases
the foregoing suggestions on
the belief it will be important
for Umatilla county to get in
line for the establishment of
transportation on the river. We
are not alone in that belief. Mr.,
]. n. Teal, who knows much
about the transportation prob
lem. urges such a course. The
Portland journal has long con-
tended for the use of the Co
Ilumbia and the Portland Ore
gonian is now in line upon the
same subject. The Oregonian
recently said editorially:
We need but to use in
the most economical, up
to-date manner and to its
full capacity the great ma
vigable channel which eX-
tends 400 miles inland,
and the inexorable laws
of nature will nullify all
man-made laws and de-
crees which have been
placed in the way.

We can demonstrate
that an inland waterway
can be used in successful
competition with a rail-
road and that a port which
so uses a waterway can eS-
tablish its supremacy over
all rivals. A line of tugs
and steel barges can be
established to carry grain,
wool, fruit and other COM
modities from up-river
ports for transfer to ships
at Portland. Port COM
missions can be establish
ed for the construction of
modern wharves with all
up-to-date facilities at up
river ports. Up-river
counties can construct
paved highways to the in
terror, over which motor
tractors can haul trains of
wagons to river ports. To
save handling, the bodies
of wagons could be made
detachable, so that cranes
could lift them bodily in
to barges to be unloaded.
At the spectacle of this
competition the railroads
which follow the water
grade would either con-
sent to pro-rate with wa
ter lines in order to secure
a share of the business, or
would themselves demand
the right to base rates on
water-grade cost of oper-
alton without a like re-
duction being made by
mountain roads.
Here is vista of reduced
freight rates and greater pros
perity for our people. W.

benefits from the open river

BONUS SYSTEM PLANNED
FOR DETR0IT'S FINEST"

DETROIT. Mich. October James
Couzens, Detroit's i-millionaire
police commissioner. has announced
the establishment of bonus system
for members of the Detroit police force.
The bonus provided personally by Mr..
Couzens will amount to about $4,000
annually. 1t is believed to be the
first of its kind ever established in the
United States.
Mr.. Couzens receives $4,000 from the
city for being in charge of the police
department. He says that his entire
salary will form part of the bonus
which he intends personally to dis
tribute.
This bonus will be paid out at regu-
lar intervals. probably every three
months, Mr. Couzens said.
A record of the efficiency of each
member of the department will be kept
and distribution of the bonus Will be
| based. to a great extent. upon this
record.
| 1t was stated by Mr.. Couzens that the
bonus might enable some patrolmen to
earn more than some of their captains.
