Owners pay no rent, hence no injustice would be caused by their removal. There is no reason why part of the business community should be forced to improve prop erty or rent quarters, competing with another portion that enjoys free rent, without any appreciable, investment. But if injury to shippers is likely to follow removal, the date could be set months enough in advance to afford am ple time for other arrangements. At least the space not occupied by shippers could be parked and beautified. It is to'be hoped that some action will be taken by the council looking to the bettering of conditions on the rail road right-of-way. THE CHANGE AND ITS SPONSER. SI NTH people began asking the questions, "whore did you got it," "how did you got it," rather than bowing in reverence before you because you have it, there has come a wonderful change n the attitude of the people to ward the xvvy rich. !No longer is wealth blindly worshipped. A commercial ly mad nation, wo are deserting the shrine of the golden calf. Tho so-called "Captain of industry" whoso industry consists in exploiting the money for the benefit of the few, who by hooks and turns along devious and crooked paths, lands in tlio seal of the mighty, no longer wears his halo. Tlio niuekraker lias done his disillusion woric won m tlini Iip liny uicmtwrl the fiimcl lYmn llic kino of finance. ,..........,.,.,,..!,,,......, and awakened in the nation mm iiiniosi iorgoi irii.

The knoll of the jxditieal boss and the corrupt ionist has sounded and the purification of politics is Ho longer pessimist idy hold an irridescont dream b)V its awakening, the nation is largely indebted to Theodore Ixoosevelt, guest of Oregon today, and because of it, his many short comings are overlooked, his many glaring deficiencies forgotten.
