THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,
THE CALAMITY BOWL.
There is an effort on the part of
some Democratic newspaiiers and
a few blatant orators to create
lack of confidence in the public
mind by saving the country is
going to the bad; that great in
dustries are shutting down; that
the railways are retrenching, in
stead of improving roadlied and
equipment; that no new factories
are being constructed; that thou
sands of working people are idle
and that Republican prosperity is
a myth. These statements are, so
palpably false or so greatly exag
gerated that intelligent persons are
not misled by them, but there is
danger that when the canards are
reiterated by the calamity howlers
a few people who do not keep
closely in touch with industrial
and commercial conditions may
be led to believe them.
Any man or newspaper that de
liberately attempts to create dis
trust in the financial or comnier
cial world is little less than crimi
nal. Some 6tates have punitory
law framed for the purpose of
sending to prison persons who cir- j
culate untruthful rumors about
banks and trust companies. If
the man who causes a run on a
bank by spreading a false report
is a criminal, is not the man or
newspaper that attempts to make
political capital by . destroying
public confidence also a criminal?
And, by the same reasoning, is not
the party that permits or indorses
the utterances of the calamity
bowler and spreader of false rum
ors an enemy of the law?
Suppose the Democratic party
won a victory at the polls through
destroying confidence in com
mercial and industrial circles,
would not capital, which is always
timid in the face of uncertainty,
begin to hide? And when capital
.is distrustful what happens? In
dustries lag or close, trade of the
retail merchant falls off, the jobber
and wholesaler suffer, railwav
traffic diminishes,
damage suits might follow. Busi
ness men who forget engagements,
girls who wait vainly for lovers
that fail to come, borrowers who
neglect to repay small loans,
politicians who promise and for
got, and political parties which
bid for votes and never meet their
obligations all these might be
liable for damages if the Denver
plaintiff's suit is sustained. And
what a mountain of cases might
be piled up against Democracy if
the statute of limitations did not
prove to lie a bar.

There are two important lessons
to 1 gleaned from the success of
the Open River Commission as
regard the construction of the
portage road. The first, and per
haps the more important, is the
fact that when the people make a
movement in any given direction
ir generally succeeds. For over a
year the state board delayed this
road, and we believe unnecessarily,
until the people came to the con
clusion to act. At the 0ien River
convention in this city a commit
tee was appointed, and this com
mittee has gone to work and mat'
ters have so progressed that the
construction of the road will begin
almost immediately. The second
fact in connection with this sub
ject is that the state U a unit re
garding any public improvement,
and this means a great deal in the
future growth anil development of
our resources. These two great
lessons will be for future guidance.
Acts of the legislature will not re
main dead letters, while the peo
ple can meet in conventions and
manage affairs for the public bene
fit. Then, the new era that has
been inaugurated to impel the
progress of the common wenlth
means unified action. hen it
comes to a matter of public utility
there is m Eastern or Western
Oregon but a united state that will
bend all its energies and efforts in
any direction to accomplish the
purpose. Dalles Chronicle.

No political party that counten- replied. "Why, I stood right

ances the creation of distrust is
worthy of the people's confidence.
It will be a sorry day for the coun
try when the calamity howlers
succeed in reversing those benefi
cent policies which the Republican
party has put into effect and which
have resulted in an era of the
greatest prosperity any nation has
ever Known.
That industries and business of
all kinds continue to prosper there
can be no doubt. The few strikes
in the building and other trades
are not indicative of depressed
conditions. Wage earners do not
strike in times of panic or waning
prosperity. Strikes aie generally
for higher wages, and no toiler
expects an increase in wages when
work is scarce and thousands of
his fellows are idle.

CAUSE TO KICK.
A Denver man has sued a
restaurant for damaging his
stomach. He says the restaurant
solicited patronage on the ground
that it served good food, but that
the promise was not fulfilled.
The food, he asserts, caused
stomach trouble, from which he
suffered greatly, and he fixes his
damages at several thousand dol
lars. This case will be watched with
interest, for it opens a new field
in the damage suit line. It is
usually easy to Becure compensa
tory damages for losses caused by
broken promises, when the plain
tiff has a written contract to back
up his demand, or if he has wit
nesses to a verbal contract, but it
is not always possible to Becure
redress when the promise is of
such a nature as is alleged to have
been madnby the Denver restau
rant. '
Suppose the Denver man had
won his case. An avalanche of
