Washington, Jan. 12. Greeted by
applause iroiu the galleries when he
entered the senate chamber to reply
to President Roosevelt's remarks in
respect to his connection with Oiegon
timber land, Senator Tillman read his
prepared remarks with little attempt
at oratorical effect. lie was accorded
careful attention by senators on both
tides of the chamber, the public and
private galleries being taxed to their
full capacity.
He declared that the president had
been actuated by motives of malice
and revenge In attacking his course
in connection with the Coos Bay

was guilty of no action inconsistent
with honor or his obligation as a n-m

misquoted the Inspectors' report Tuk
ing up the president's statement con
ccrning Dorr, a land agent, making his
filings through Reeder & Wntkins ot
Marshfleld. Ore., Mr. Tillman fcaid;
Says Dorr Was a Swindler.
"It will be noted that I accused Dorr
In the senate of being a swindler, ami
asked the postolllce department to Is
sue a fraud order against him. Duir
declared in his circular: 'So sure ts
Senator Tillman of our success that
he has subscribed and paid the neces
sary fees for a quarter section for him
self and ten other sections for ten ot
his nearest relatives.' It was this bold
and outrageous falsehood mainly that
caused me to denounce Dorr as a
swindler as well, and to declare In the
senate that he had no warrant for the
ansertion.
"Let us suppose for a moment that I
was guilty of a falsehood In declaring
that I had not undertaken to purchase
any land. What did that have to do
with Dorr's transparent and open use
of the malls to Induce men to send
blm money to purchase land? Dorr's
declaring that I had paid the fees is
an absolute falsehood, and the postof
rice Inspectors, while they searched
the records for entries at Coqullle,
'noted that Reeder & Watklns hud
Died seveial hundred applications,' but
nowhere mentioned that any had been
filed lo my name or for ine. There

which can be proven by an examlna

lying. My letter of Feb. 15. of which
the president has secured a photo
graphic copy, antedated by four days
my statement In the senate that I had
not bought any land or undertaken to
buy any, and the president considered
this positive proof of falsehood. I did
not say I hud not considered the put

contemplated the purchase of land, be

disingenuous, but n mcinent's thought

that, as 1 hud nut signed any papers.

nobody's receipt, the usual process by
which one 'undertakes' to bnv land, I

TAFT ON PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Says Time Has Come When Line ot
Limitation Must Be Drawn.

Elect Talt was the guest cf the local
bar association iast eight Mr. Talt i
remarks on the United States supreme
M.n fa'.trat'.ei much attention. In hU
. Mr Taft asserted that the su
yraaa it it pf cur present civilization
tn ccme in the present and the
' ceding decades in the form ol
. survival or destruction of the right
it private property.
"We have reached the time when
we must recognize certain limita
tlons," he said, "which previous condi
tions did not require assertion of, in
the form of a statutory law upon the
use of private property wherever it is
represented in combinations of cap
ital. We must recognize that those
combinations may be hurtful and it
must fall to our profession, with argu
ments in the courts by the Judges
themselves, by the arguments of law
yers in the legislatures, to lay down
the line of limitation which shall In
terfere as little as possible with the
Individual freedom of property on the
one hand and shall stay tho progress
toward injurious combination and in
Jurlous monopoly on the other.
"This problem is now on and there
fore I state it with solemnity and se
riousness. We have got to work it
out more or less by experiment, but in
that working out we have got to de
pend' on the clear headed, both at the
bar, on the bench and in the legisla
ture, to reach a solution. And I have
no doubt it will be done."

He described In detail the Influences

palgn fund, an army of government
employees drawing their salaries from
the treasury; three-fourths of the
newspapers or more against us, and
the coercive power of concentrated
wealth."

permanent Democratic clubs in every
county, the establishment of a Demo

tne continuation of the educational
work as the things necessary for fui
ure Democratic success.
