The city politicians might as well make up their minds that there is a demand for more of a people's program in tcity af fairs. The way sewer matters are muddled up there is no way out of a square issue on that matter that will clear title to property. Anyone who will read the pleadings in the sewer litigation will come to the conclusion that there was very careless work. All bond issues in the past but the water bonds, have been voted down because the popular loan plan has been abandoned. The old system by which all fees in state cases went into the city treasury has been switched, and in electing a new city marshal that should bo borne in mind. The people will get nothing they do not fight for, and the of fice holders should be asked to give the people some pledges. These pledges are pretty well outlined in the resolutions adopt ed at the South and North Salem meetings. i . . . i What ails Portland? Streets quiet. Hotels restful with hun dreds of empty rooms. Many, many houses to rent. Many, many stores empty. Business men cutting down forces of em ployes. Public officials driving nails in the coffin of the pub lic service corporations. No street car lines being extended. Let up in the building trades. Speculative franchises being cracked through as the last profitable industry of the agitator in office. Sorry for you, but come to a city that is growing by leaps, and where everybody is not doing it to the corporations. THE THIRD PARTY SITUATION. All admit that the third parly convention at Salem committed hari-kari, but there is no proof yet of who queered the situat ion. It is certain that men like Kcllaher, Joseph and others have quietly withdrawn their support of the- slate program. The bitter roasting of Bourne and the denunciation of Olcott, direct primary and presidential preference leaders did it. There is not only no newspaper support of the third party, but pretty general condemnation. The only strong man on the ticket is Campbell, for congress, and be openly repudiated the action of the convention in turning down I'.ourne and Olcott. There continues to he columns of reports of quarrels and dis sensions in the ranks of the "Bull Moose" party in this state. Those- quarrels have grown so bitter they have so injured the effectiveness of the campaign being put up by the third party that on Friday evening the Daily News of Portland, which has largest circulation of any paper in the state, openly supporting Teddy Roosevelt, admitted for the first time that Roosevelt might be third in the race in this state. It said many other things under the caption "Teddy, You Are Double Crossed." 'Theodore Roosevelt was the choice of this state for Re publican nominee in the primaries last spring. Put if Theo dore wins in November it will be a wonder. It is alxnit thirty days to election; if the leaders of the Orgon Bull Moose parly make as many fool mistakes in the next thirty days as they have in the last, Colonel Roosevelt will not run second, hut THIRD in Oregon. Either the Bull Moose party in this nock of woods is go ing to wake up or the most awful slamming a ticket ever got is going to be handed out. Like all new parties, the Moose party is suffering from the demonstrations of machine appetite on the part of the leaders. The Astorian tells that, town a lot of wholesome truth, and gets little but curses. The Capital Journal prides itself on giv ing the city advice to which it can always refer with pride and pat itself on the back for afterward. It advised the acquisition of Fairmount Tark, the Northwest Stovo Works and the Falls City lumber plant. ' 1,1 Western Oregon is famous for its long-wooled sheep, and the ease with which the politicians pull the wool over the eyes of the people. INCREASING RAILWAY RETURNS. Current reports of the revival of railway traffic are verified 1v the official returns for the month of July, compiled by the Bureau of Railway Economics from reports to the Interstate Commerce Commission covering 220,000 miles, about 90 per cent of the steam railway mileage of the country. The increases in net revenue were not, however, universal. For the Eastern group of railways the increase over July, was 10.9 per cent, or $2.01 per mile of line per day; for the Western group 1(5.4 per cent, or $1.29 per mile of line per dav. The net revenue of the Southern group decreased 5.5 per cent or 41 cents per mile of line perday. Taking the average per mile of line for the month for the country as a whole, total operating revenues increased $89 or 8.7 per cent ; operating excuses increased $5,'? or 7.6; while net operating revenue increased $1)5.89 or 11 per cent. Taxes amounted to $ 15 per mile of line, an increase of 8.5 per cent. The aggregate of all net operating revenue for the month was $80.197,7 -in, an aggregate increase og $9,0:57.010. This net operating revenue per mile-of lino for the seven months of the calendar year continues less than for the corre sponding seven months of 1911. Net operating revenue is the amount available for taxes, rent als, interest on bonds, appropriations for betterments and divi dends. In the midst of numerous prosecutions in Linn county, the blind pigirers seem to multiply. Brownsville is especially affect ed, and the governor may have to order a troop of cavalry up there armed with pickaxes and jimmies to break onen the vari ous illicit establishments and get after the pigs. That city has struggled hero'cidlv for twenty years to suppress the illicit traf fic engendered by its citizens, seme of whom regularly take their drinks and vote the rest of theconnnunity dry, as a kind of a bacchanalian joke. The town has appealed to, the sheriff and county courts and officers in vain and now the military of the government alone will save them. Stack the grain next vear, gentlemen. Get ready now. Se lect a place, and put in the rainy days making racks to haul the grain to the stack. Ben Olcott is attending to his duties as secretary of state, and the people will see to it that he is elected. The Bull Moose convention threw away great opportunities in Oregon by not renominating Senator Bourne and Secretary of State Olcott. But some of the leaders preferred to paw the air and bellow to using their brains, which seems to be a Bull Moose privilege.
