TIIE MORiMG OREGONIAN. TUESDAY- AUGUST 28, 1906. 14 ORIENTAL LINER Mil S S Big Vessel Leaves Down This Morning With Freight Valued at $213,755. NEARLY A CAPACITY CARGO Greater Portion of Consignment Con sists of 48,903 Barrels of Flour of the Season Arabia to Call at Hakodate. With a carsro of nearly 6000 tons of general freight valued at $213,755. the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Com pany's Oriental liner Numantla, Cap tain Feldtmann, will sail at daylight this morning for Yokohama, Hong kong, Shanghai and other Far Eastern porta. The principal portion of the Human tia's outward cargo consists of 48,905 barrels of flour, valued at 195,620, and which is one of the largest and most valuable shipments of this product to the Orient by any one vessel in recent 5-ears. The balance of the cargo is made up of stoves, .lumber, machinery end other items of general freight, the total of which amounts to about 1000 Ions and is valued at $18,135. Considerable demand is being ex perienced by the agents of this line for space on the steamships Arabia and Nlcomedia, to accommodate large consignments of grain destined for the new Kennie Boiling & Flouring Mill that has recently been erected at Hongkong, and in the opinion of the company's representatives this demand I seems likely to nicrease to such an ex Itent that it may be necessary to place additional vessels on the trans-Pacific run. The first large shipment of the new (rrain season which will be sent to the Orient will probably be the consign ment of 6000 tons, said to have been contracted for by the Rennie mill. It Is reported that the grain will be shipped through Balfour. Guthrie & CO., although the representatives of that firm deny any such arrangement. This shipment will necessitate the chartering of a large steamship. The Portland & Asiatic liner Arabia, which Is the next vessel of this line to arrive here, and Is due about Sep tember 12, will take a new route on her next outward voyage, for she Is scheduled to carry a large shipment of grain to Hakodate, which port is not a regular port of call for these liners. The grain rate to the Orient has been fixed at $4 to Japanese ports, $4.50 to Hongkong and $5 to Shanghai. The gTaln rate Is the same for flour on the regular line of steamers plying be tween Portland and the Orient. INSPECTS WESTPORT JETTY Deputy Collector Dorn Takes Sound ings on Gray's Harbor Bar.

Pays $5000 for 2500-Ton Vessel and Believes He Has Made Excellent Bargain. Robert Dollar, head of the San Fran cisco shipping Arm known as the Dollar Steamship Dines, which operates several lines of vessels along the Coast and to the Orient, was in Portland yesterday on his way home from a business trip to Seattle. Robert Dollar and his three sons con stitute the firm and operate a fleet of nine steamships, all of which bear the name of a member of the Dollar family. The names of the different vessels are: Stanley Dollar, Robert Dollar, Harold Dol lar, M. S. Dollar, Grace Dollar, Hazel Dollar, Bessie Dollar, James Dollar and Melville Dollar. A number of these ves sels have visited the local harbor in the past, and, according to the head of the firm, one of them will be sent here this Fall for a cargo of grain, which she will take to the Orient. Stanley Dollar, son of Robert Dollar, and agent for the company at Seattle, re cently purchased the German steamship Marlechen, which was wrecked off Van couver Island recently, and this craft will be fitted up and renamed and placed on one of the Dollar lines. The marine un derwriters with whom the Marlechen was insured raised the vessel and towed her to Seattle, where young Dollar bid he vessel in for $5000. She Is a 2500-ton ves sel, and the elder Dollar thinks his son made an excellent bargain in securing the vessel at that price, even though she Is an old steamer. "Our business, both along the coast and to the Orient," said Mr. Dollar, at the Hotel Portland yesterday afternoon, "has been Increasing every day, and the addi tion of the Marlechen, which was pur chased at the underwriters' sale at Seat tle by my son, will be added to our fleet when she is fitted up and repaired. Sev eral of our steamers have visited Port land for special cargoes, but we have not had any regular line to this port. The sailors' strike at San Francisco handi capped our line for a time, but we soon overcame that difficulty and are now op erating all our vessels on their regular routes." Mr. Dollar also told of his experiences on his recent trip to the Orient, during which he bid in his own steamer, M. S. Dollar, which had been seized by the Japanese navy while conveying contra band of war to the Russians at Vladivo stok. The veteran' steamship owner en Joyed the trip Immensely, and also ex pressed himself as highly pleased with the Northwestern country. He left last eve ning for his home in San Francisco, and stated that he would probably return north on another business trip about the middle of November. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.

PAYS TEN CENTS FLAT On Point Raised by Frank Ii. Smith Meat Company, It Develops That Lw Demands Bids on Meat Supplies. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 27. (To the Edi tor.) Will yon kindly make public the name of the party or concern who furnished meats to the boats controlled by the Port of Portland? Also give the price at which the meat is being furnished. We have never heard of, bids on meat being called for. Many times we have endeavored to secure this Information, but it is evidently nobody's business outside of the Commission. FRANK L. SMITH MEAT CO. Inquiry at the office of the Port of Portland Commission develops that sup plies for the dredges Columbia and Port land, the only craft controlled by the Commission, is purchased in the open market, the Union Meat Company being favored with all orders for meats under a flat rate agreement calling for 10 cents a pound. About 50 men are employed on the Dredge Columbia and 25 on the Portland. The monthly meat bills ap proximate J250 to 300. It is Claimed by the Port of Portland Commission that there is no provision in the legislative act creating the body whereby It is obliged to let contracts for supplies, but it would seem that such is not the case If the following section of the act possesses any signlftcance: Section 4058. Contracts for work and ma terial must be let by public Wd. With the exception of work done by the said The Port of Portland direct, through its regu lar employes, of ordinary current repairs necessary from day to day, and of cases of emergency, all material purchased t for and all work done In, on, or for the dry dock in this act authorized, or In, on. upon, or for any dredge, boat, bcow. or other ap pliance to be built or owned or operated by the said The Port of Portland, said pur chase being made or said work done by way of construction, alteration, or general over hauling, shall .be purchased or done by or under contract let to the lowest competent and responsible bidder, after due adver tisement of the letting of such contract and the fact that bids were to be received there on. In all manner as is usual and customary In the letting of contracts by public bid ding, and under such general rules and regulations as thereto as the said The Port of Portland may prescribe. . ; . The foregoing represents everything in the act of incorporation of the Port of Portland bearing upon the subject of bids for various supplies, although It may be contended that this provision in section 4636 clothes the body with authority to make purchases in the open market with out consulting the contract feature: "and to make any and all contracts, the mak ing of which is not In this act expressly pro hibited, and to do any and all other acts and things which may be or may become requisite, necessary or convenient in car rying out all or any one or more of the powers In this act, or hereafter, granted to It." OBJECTIONS TO SOCIALISM ONE ADVOCATE MEETS THE CRITICS' CHARGES. Earnest Plea That the Laborer Shall Enjoy Fruit of His Own Work. TjrnnnBTnPK. Or.. Auk. 22. (To the Editor.) I will say thanks to both admirers and critics ot my aj"01!1 on the Socialist programme, for it is from our critics we most often learn, and they certainly wake us up. The objections are not objections to t-o nhiAr.tlons to what Socialism is erroneously conceived to be. A common error wmwu critics of the new order fall Is the n thiii curtain thiners are U.BBUII1 V " " necessarily part of the proposed co- - -KTrt Avon a operative commuuweaiui. --. iiinf 1-vi Vi riTxr nil the innumer able details of the new order will bo adjusted. Inasmuch as mesa win uo the work of the people of that time. It is well to study and thoroughly master principles before worrying about details. Socialism would establish a genuine democracy something that the world has never bad. -More than this. So cialism would establish Industrial demoracy, in addition to the political democracy we theoretically have at present. Governments like France and the United States are not democ racies. They are merely republics, governed not by the people, as Is often stated by Fourth of July orators, but by delegates which the people place in office to be controlled by the dominating economio Interests of the country. These dominating Interests In the United States are the trading class as a whole, composed of what is commonly called the business element, and it is the big: ones of this numerous aggregation, like Standard Oil, etc., that control politics in fact. As to the assignment of employ ments. Our, present Government as signs employments varying in desir ability from that of a road overseer to President of the Nation. We may occasionally get one quail fled for road overseer Into the execu tive chair, or get one qualified for the Presidency into the overalls of a road supervisor, but the Government lives, the assignments are accepted, and the majority seem pleased with the admin istration, from the ' efforts made to apologize for it and combat any pro posed change. A to the nonproduction of high class goods because there "would be no class of people to use them," is It, necessary that the workers who pro duce everything in the way of com modities should maintain a leisure class of unproductive drones to con sume the high-class goods? Are the workers unfit to use the things their hands have made? Must the worker feed the world, but give the cham pagne and porterhouse to idler while he ekes out an existence on a scant allowance of adulterated foods? Must the worker clothe the world and maintain a class of gaudy butter flies to frisk about In silks while he and his family wear shoddy? The So cialist asserts that nothing is too good for the worker whose hands produce It; and that the most of the miserable stuff of present commerce is by far too bad for anybody. "Look about you; the products of la bor are on every hand; you could not maintain for a . single moment a well ordered li'e without them; every ob ject in your room has on It, for dls- tools and the pressure of laborious , hands. But is It not the cruelast in justice for those whose lives are sur rounded and embellished by their work, to bave a superabundance of the money which represents the aggregate of labor in any country, while the laborer himself is kept so steadily at work that he has no time to acquire the education and refinements of life that would make him and his family agreeable - companions to the rich and cultured?" Frances E. Willard. Is-not the street-cleaner, or sewer cleaner, who does absolutely needful work, entitled to as good cheer as the lawyer whose principal occupation Is studying how he can best make Judge and Jury believe black is white, and that the guilty are innocent, or vice versa? Or the preacher who takes his ser mons from the same source he draws his salary; In a very un-Chrlstlan spirit manifests his contempt for the worker in abusive epithets, and bewails lest under Socialism the laborer should be able to have some of the'luxuries that under the present system are enjoyed only by his exploiters and parasites? And after the sewer-cleaner's dirty work is done, why should he not have his bath, and don his broadcloth and white shirt, so that he may feel at home to mingle with the ' rest of society? The worker cannot buy the best to day because he gets In wages only a part of the value he creates. The bal ance of his labor's product is absorbed by the capitalist In the form of profit. When the capitalist system and its means of fleecing the worker is abol ished, the worker will get the full equivalent of what his labor socially produces, and the workers will there fore be able to buy or keep an equiva lent of what they have made. They will be the only ones who can buy. The loafers who now do not work, but claim and get the best, will have to go to work and do their share of the world's work. As to the means by which working people would reproduce their property: They would use the same means that are now and ever have been used to produce property. This is nothing more or less than their labor power, which is the only creator of value, and which, when applied to the resources of na ture. Is the only producer of wealth. Socialism should be investigated be fore making statements as to the dif ficulties It presents. There are difficul ties enough, but the most of them are the result of assumptions made by the misinformed, and not warranted by the reputable teachers and writers on the subject. As a sample of unwar ranted assumption is the statement that one citizen of the new common wealth could not have anything that every other citizen could not also have. Socialism demands that every worker shall have in direct proportion to what he produces by his own labor. If he works hard he will produce much and be entitled to all of it, or all its equivalent. If he prefers to work only enough to provide for his necessities and rest the balance of the time, there 1s no reason why he should not do so. Dut if he prefers leisure to work, his wealth will be in proportion to his un productivity. CHARLES PTE. NEGRO GROWING BETTER AH He Asks From the White Man Is Civil Decency. PORTLAND. Aug. 24. (To the Editor.) Having read with Interest the article in last Sunday's Oregonlan, the "Taught Negro No Good " I pitied the effort of the writer, br cause he admits belnir a Southern man and knows so little of the negro. The gentleman lacks knowledge In this Instance, and it would be a pleasure to enlighten him, show him his mistakes 11 his prejudlee does not predom inate over his better judgment. Negro education bas not proven a failure. Success requires not something new ' To win applause and recognition. But doing that which others do Beyond their range of competition. Forty years of training did not make. Mr. Ooodrlch, but centuries of effort maybe with two and one-half centurlea of negro slave labor supporting him. If It has taken cen turies of training and effort to make a well rounded, civilized individual of him, is tt not reasonable to suppose & little time will be required to make a " a mt -barbarous race' into desirable people T The writer Is too hasty in his conclusions. In six days the Lord made heaven and earth. etc." How long were the days of crude formation into the finished product? Slavery developed the negro into a peculiar people. It made him a child in thought and action. It taught him the stern realities of life. It gave him no religion but "servants, obey your masters." It fostered no home ties nothing higher than the masters' welfare was to be considered the result; the result, the negro, crude and unkempt, the product of Southern Christian civilization, was thrown out, homeless, penniless and friendless. Into the world. To say we have not progressed means the negro la in wore condition mentally. physically, financially today than during slav ery. No student of sociology will say so, and no negro will admit it. Judge us by the good products ot our strenuous life and not by the worse. We do not censure the promoters of the 14th and 15th amendments. During those troublesome reconstruction days ot Ku-Klux and patrollers, who were hanging and killing negroes for mere pastime. Congress saw seem ing protection for the negro by enacting such amendments. If mistakes were made ' the negro did not reap the benefit. ''Social equality can never become a ffictor, for there can be no intellectual affinity' be tween the two races,' says the writer. The negro is not clamoring for social equality. In fact, it la rather hard to understand the term. What does It meanT As a rule, some South ern man having nothing to say uses it for newspaper notoriety. The double standard of morals In the South and generally throughout the country which gives protection to one person and allows no protection and redress to the other Is some of the fruit of' the social equality noise. We want Christian civil decency, civil equality a man considered deserving so long as he conducts himself with propriety, be he black or white, red or yellow. So soon as this sham Protestant creed and codified religion Is set aside and the religion of the Lord, Jesus Christ, is manifest in the heart of every white man and woman, every black man and woman, then there will be no more social equality harrangue in every morning paper about the negro. The writer conveys the idea that the negro Is receiving the lion's share of the educational advantages of the South, viz. : "We of the South cannot give the advantages to our students that are given to the negro pupils in their colleges, etc.," and Implies that the pub lic school facilities are equal and better. This looks good on paper, and to the persons who do not know may make some glad and some mad; but it is always wisdom not to tell all yon know, since it Is not always expedient to tell the truth even if it is true. The negro schools are not yet "out of the woods," and are not equal to the best white schools South. They do good work, but there Is so much they are forced to leave undone; consequently every negro student who can gets all the training possible and goes North or Bast to complete his education. The sacrifices made by negroes striving to obtain an education would sound like mere stories told for sympathy, yet In the face of adverse circumstances, with usually little en couragement, the oultured, . "supercilious' negro is few and hard to find. The truly edu cated man or woman never puts on "simer clllous' airs; It is a sign of a want of edu cation. Delusions make fancies either to be feared or enjoyed, the person morose or happy, according to the same. Why should any part of the South lag behind other sections of this country educationally T Who defeated the Blair educational bill, and why? So long as the clam-llke sentiment in politics and public improvement exists the South will always remain the poor section of this country. "Learning does negro no good." "What they get a smattering of Is soon forgotten." says the writer. We are glad it is, for nothing Is so dangerous as a little learning, and a smat tering of anything can never be useful. The negro as an artisan finds the doors of remun erative employment shut to him by organized labor unions. The South need fear no great labor troubles so long as she controls negro Jclabor against other ssotioos ox this unLwj COULD HOT BEST MIGHT OR DAY With Irritating Skin Humor Whoto ' Body Affected Scalp Itched All the Time and Hair Began to Fall . Out Wonderful Result From APPLICATION OF v CUTICURA REMEDIES "I am never without Cuticura, Soap and Cuticur Ointment ainoe I tried them last summer. About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all tha time, and then I began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for kin humors; but I became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Espe cially at night, just as soon as I would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I did, and the first appli cation helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot . bath very night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body; and I kept getting better, and by the time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out, but I continue to use the Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan druff out and scalp is always clean. I always use Cuticura Ointment on my face after shaving, and have found nothing to equal it. I will never be without it." D. E.

Even the old fox grew tired after trying - all he could to get the irranea Let Mr. Goodrich put himself In a negro's place for a few hours, and figure out the. pre ponderating conditions against the negro and his own thoughts will open his eyes to see things as they are and why they are so. Is the negro a political misfit? Granting that there is a large Ignorant portion of them. Lb it not true that there is a greater and more dangerous foreign element coming Into this country 'dally? Why should the Indus trious black man be taxed without reoresen tatlon and the ignorant white exempt? Such doctrine cannot exist In this democratic gov ernment. So long as the South repudiates the principles of the Revolutionary days and con tinues to vote her dead great grandfathers with wildcat legislation in order to keep an old negro from making an honest living, she will always be behind, like the old cow's tall. The true man never has to proclaim his virtues. "By their fruits ye shall know them" is as true of an Individual as of a race and nation. The black state of Mississippi, where a negro's life la cheaper than an Oregon Chi nese pheasant, can furnish enough evidence of the negro's advancement without writing another word. Ten negro banking institutions in Vardaman ' s state I We are n ot los In g sleep over politics any more; neither have we nailed our faith to the Democratic or Re publican party. The negro the educated negro whose whole system of remembrance is "learn today, forget tomorrow," is not waiting for political parties to do anything for him, but chooses men and measures and parties lest. We are no longer voting a straight ticket, because our great grandfath ers did; neither are we digging up the dead past, trying to nurse into life along with our present-day strivings. Ours is the history of nations and races, the weak always at the mercy of the strong. We would be forced to submit without a protest were we among a "semi-barbarous" people, but when we claim to represent the highest type of Christian civ il lxat Ion. then we stop and ask. What Is American Christianity? Is it not a delusion some hysterical manifestation? Whether Mr. Goodrich believes it or not, w know that the negro under more adverse cir cumstances, with more manifest prejudice to day than that of the "good, old nigger" of long ago. Is making progress that counts. He Is not setting the world on Are with his ef fort, for he Is not an economio factor as yet. He is growing better each day in every re spect, and with constant effort and striving we shall succeed In spite of opposition. DR. J. A. MBRRIMAX.
