PLAN TO f ORCE ADVANCE.
Now that the oloctions are almost
out of the way, railroad men are or
gnniziug for a vigiorous campaign to
forne au advance of freight rates.
Their argument is, that nnluss this be
done, wages will have to ba reduced.
It is said they stand ready to dis
charge thousands of employes to make
a bad situation worse if the publin re
fuses to conntenanoe their extrava
gant domand for higlior rates.
Railroads are not doing so muoli
business as in the pnst, but that is
not for the reason that they have been
nlmsod, but becanso there has been a
panic, and it might also be said that
it cannot cause one, either, for pan
ics are a natural development of
growth. They are to tho business
world what growing pains are to
children. The panio which Iirb
caused all the suffering will be over
in a your, and business is already on
the move. The really important rail
road men know this perfectly well,
but undor oover of a pretended bolief
that something must be done to save
the railroads, they are attempting to
fasten on the public a schedule of
rotes that vv ill justify the enormous
pricos to which railroad securities
have been manipulated.
If the United States occupied all
tho North American continent, this
matter might adjust itself and the
disanter caused by such an advance
might be only temporary. But the
Canadian railways are standing roady
to snatch from tho American roads
the cream of East and West transpor
tation business, and ouco thov got it
they will keep it. The supremacy of
New York City as a center of 'com
merce can perhaps nuver be destroyed,
bat it will be soiiouHly imparod if
this scheme for higher freight rates is
successful.
It nust be remembered that the
eanh is round ilko a ball, and that
any railroad in Canada has i shorter
iiaul from the Atlantic to the Pacific
than any railroad in the United
Status. This alono is enough to give
the Canndians a tremendous advan
tage, but in addition to that, the
principal roads of the 'Dominion have
boon-promoted in such a way as not
to overburden them WJth millions' of
stocks and bonds for which no value
came to the property. ' Their fixed
charges are so much smaller than
those of railroads in tho United
States that, with gross earnings equal
to tho fixed charges of the roads in
this country, they can actually pay
dividends and lay up a surplus.
These are stubborn facts and cannot
he controverted by any railroad presi
dent, no mutter though lie he prodded
bv the neeoHsit" for earning onough
money to pay' dividonds on watered
Stock and suuauderol bonds. Tho
law of supply and demand is like the
' ancient laws of the Medes and Per
sians, aud tho earth is just as rouud
as when Galileo died.
"Theodore K. " Tuft has givon out
a statement, sort of a 1 re-olection
bunch ot meaningless expressions, of
what the nation might oxpuct of him
as its executive He snys : " Vlio re
publican victory moans primarily
that tho RonHi'Velt administration is
approved by the American people. In
tlm enormous business development of
the hint twelve years there crept in
corporate abuses, lawlessness of tho
great corporal ions, among tho rail
roads and infidelity to ilimnieal t'usls.
There ciuiio among the people a moral
awakening, a' quickening of public
conscience, and tho exponent of that
folding the man who led public
opinion and who guided its expres
sion was Theoilmn Roosuvelt. He
askod Congress to help him with
needed legislation, aud it did, anil in
a few short years stops havo boon tak
en to stamp out those abuses. A
ohango has oomo over our great liusi
nes corporations aud railroads that it
is hard to overestimate." Can one
explain how tho "whistles of the
trust, shops" can pick up and blow
with very much enthusiasm, how the
the railway magnates can leap to the
proposition of spending at once mil
lions ou extensions, how the financial
triiHts havo any hopes of filling their
coffers, with Taft uttering the abovor
How there can bo such unbounded
enthusiasm with a class of .people
who are to receive their deatli knell
at the hands of our executive, is more
than the "minority" can niidcibtuud,
but it is undoubtedly all plain enough
to the ones interested.
Whistles blowing calling millions of
men to work is the cry of newspapers
from the cities from one end of the
country to the other, and still in
other columns of the siune pa'icrs may
bo found the bead lines of hundreds
of thousands of men idle and children
starving in Chicago and mauy of our
eastern cities. There are a good
many (hat havo not heard the "toot,"
a vet, and they are straining every
nerve to catch the sound.
Uuclo Joe feels awfully bad about
that opposition to his continued
Bcakeisl ip. "Up fo the cannon's

volleying and thundering was all on

The monument to the late Benja
min Harrison, formerly president of
the United States, was unveiled at
Indianapolis October 27. An Asso
ciated Pies dispatch says: "The cer
emonies were preceded by a parade
In which all of the Grand Army of the
Republic posts of the city, numbering
700 men, participated, as well as 600
niemhers of the regular army, 600
national jjoard and 500 of fraternal
orders, The Bpeakers were Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks and General John W.
Noble, Mr. . Harrison's secretary of
the interior, and John L. Griffiths, the
Harrison biographer. James Whit
comb Riley read a poem written for
the occasion. The monument is in
University park, facing New York
street. Miss Elizabeth Harrison's
part in the exercises made the event
unusually pretty. Escorted by four
members of her father's regiment, the
Seventieth Indiana, she walked from
the reviewing stand, on the south side
of the Btreet, to the monument oppo
site. There she pulled the cord that
unveiled the figure of her father. The
veils were two flags, one representing
the army and the other the navy. The
cord pulled by the little girl drew the
flags from around the figure of the
statue. A company from the Tenth
regiment saluted with their guns.
Then the veterans acting as a guard
of honor to the daughter, drew the
flags to the tall flagpoles at each side.
The pole at the right bore the escut
cheon of the army and that at the left
the Insignia of the navy. This done,
the daughter and her escort returned
to the reviewing, stand. President
Roosevelt sent a laurel wreath to be
placed at the base of the monument.
Following the ceremonies the wreath
and flowers were placed on the grave
of General Harrison in Crown Hill
cemetery." .
At the Oregon Agricultural College
alfalfa has been growing successful
ly for several years, and tests are be
ing made by the agronomists with
different varieties to determine which
will suit the conditions best In this
state. The station men are glad at
all times to answer questions In re
gard to its cultivation.
A few miles from Corvallis, Mr.
W. H. Hamlin cut this year 200 tons
of alfalfa hay. It yielded 2V4 tons to
the acre In two cuttings. Before seed
ing to alfalfa the land had been "crop
ped out." In fourteen years fourteen
grain crops had been taken from the
land, and Mr. Hamlin explains that
on richer land'the yield is much heav
ier. He further explains that the old
est stand yields tho best, showing that
It takes several years on certain class
es of soil for the alfalfa to make a
good growth.
It looks as though au alfalfa cam
paign would be worth millions to this
state.
The Portland Commercial Club had
two groat overflow occasions last
week. There were more people pres
ent Tuesday night to get election re
turns than at any time Biuco the new
building was erected. But the great
est event, both in attendance and im
portance was the banquet given Fri
day night to mark tho opening of the
"North Bank Kbad," with the hon
ored guests including James J. Hill,
chairman of the board of directors of
tho Great Northern ;" Howard Elliott,
president of the Northern Paoific;
LouiiTW. Hill, president of the" Great
Northern ; George P. Harris, presi
dent of the Chicago, BurlingtonJ&
Qnincy; Francis li. Clarke, - president
of the 8poKu.uo Portland und Seattle,
aud other officials of national reputa
tion in the railway and commercial
world. A miniature train was part
of tho decorative scheme of tho ban
quet tables.
Unhappy indeed must be. the man
who, because of political disappoint
ment, can not And something in life
for- which he can express his thanks
dally, and his especial thanks upon
the holiday set apart for that express
purpose. While it Is natural that dis-
apointnient In politics, like disap
pointment in love or in business,
should create depression, yet there is
surely something, somewhere, which
will sulllce to more than equallzo the
balance If It is hut brought out and
properly enjoyed. For one think, if
you can not rejoice because your
plans have not been bettered, you can
at least rejoice that things are no
worse.
Cheerfulnes is a habit that may be,
and should bo, cultivated by every
human being. It will help you to bear
reverses with a Binlle and face the
future with hope.

O'Malley lilts Hard.
In the miniature war enacted Satur
day between salmon wheels and gill
nets before the members of the fish
committee of the Oregon Conservation
Commission an organization which
is probing the salmon Btrife to deter
mine the best way of; saving the
Chinook industry of the Columbia
river, the gillnettois wore knocked
down on practically every one of their
contentious by the testimony of Henry
O'Malley of Oregon City, superin
tendent ot the United States hatch
eries in Columbia waters, who. was
authorized to aunounco the opinions
of the Bureau of Fisheries aud of
himself, by H. M. Bowers, commit),
sioner of tho bnreau. The conflict
was especially noteworthy, since it
was the first time that a United
States expert has thrown the author
ity of the government opinion ngainst
the Astoria fish interests, in a public
meeting, and in defense of the wheel
men of the upper river. H. M. Lornt
sen, secretary of the Fishermen's
Union at Astoria, represented the
gillnetters, and F. M. Warren and
F. A. Seutert, the wheelmen, the lat
ter being the biggest owners of that
class of gear. The inquiring com
mittee was composed of Richard VV.
Montague ' and Dr. J. R. Ailson.
Numerous salmon men had been in
vited to attend, buc those present
were H. C. McAllister, Oregon fish
warden, Lomtsen, Warren, Seufert
and O'Malley.
Gillnetters and wheelmen crossed
swords in the old familiar way, on
the following vropositious, and' an
each of thorn O'Malley sided with the
wheelmen. Less fishing in spring and
in August. No fishing ou Sunday.
Regulation off all classes of gear and
abolition of none (meaning wheels.
On none of these contentions coula
Lomtsen cope with the fores against
him. He urgod propagation theories,
characteristic of the Astoria interests,
which O'Malley deolared were at var
iance with the simplest observed
farts. For example, Lomtsen de
clared that many parent Chinook sal
mon live after spawning. He quoted
an unheard-of government expert
named Morl'ut as proof and declui ed
that he had caugTit one salmon that
had come down stream from the
spawning groutidB, stripped of eggs.
Then he confessed that he had never
seen hatchors work nor visited the
spawning grounds. O'Malley invited
him to come aud see the evidence for
himself, and promised , him speedy
conversion.
O'Malley signified indirectly that'
the Chief part of the failure of Ore
gen and Washington to enact aud en
force concurrent legislation is duo to.
Oregon lawmakers and fish wardens,
by remarking: "The Washington
peoplo always have been ettsy to get
along with. Moot therh lmlf way and
they will go the other half. If there
were federal control of the fisheries,
tho laws would be euforcd."

Relief Is not cure; opium will stop

Tho pepsin will help digest the food,

You don't want any pepsin to di

food, If you have dyspepsia or any
salmach trouble, you want to make
your stomach so strong that It will
digest its own food.

strong that you can eat what you

A PREVARICATION PUNCTURED
A Thwarted Attempt to Misinterpret
the Report . of the National Civio
Federation on Municipal Ownerihip.
Even high class monthlies seem un
able to protect themselves and their
renders from writers who willingly
subvert truth In order to advance a
cause iu which they are interested or
to make' their articles palatable to a
public which cares more for seasoning
than substance. The World's Work
was victimized by a writer of this
class, who contributed to Its Septem
ber Issue an article entitled "Our Gov
ernment's Widespread Socialistic Ac
tivities." The Inclusion of a large number of
strictly governmental functions under
the head of "socialistic activities" is
merely a. type of sensationalism which
the ordinarily Intelligent render can
readily discount without referring to
aiiy authority beyond his own common
sense, especially when he is warned by
the editor that the writer does not use
"socialism" in a common sense.
But the ordinary reader Is defense
less against misstatements of fact, a
condition which Is taken advantage of
by conscienceless writers. In the ar
ticle In question, after enumerating all
of the municipal water, gas and elec
tric light plants in the United States,
the writer, one John Martin, says:
"In all these cases, on the word of
the commission of the National Civic
federation, the municipal plants for
providing wuter, gas and electricity
have done far better for the taxpayer
nnd consumer than the private plants
In anything like the same situation.
Prices have been lowered and the
plants paid for largely out of the earn
ings." f
That there Is not one word of truth
In this statement can be ascertained
by any one who will consult the report
of the commission referred to. The
absurdity of the statement Is evident
when it Is remembered that the com
mission investigated less than 1 per
ccut of the municipal water and light
plants iu this country carefully select
ing those that were' considered the
most successful. The commission made
no declaration in regard to the success
of such municipal plants In general
nor even of the few which It invest
gated. ' On the contrary, it declared'
that it was Impossible to make such a
comparison as Mr. Martin cites Its au
thority for' Compare Mr. Martin's
statement with the following state
ment of the commission:
"It is difficult to give positive an
swers of universal application to the
questions arising ns to tho success or
failure of municipal ownership as com
pared with private ownership. The
local conditions affecting particular
plants are hi many cases so peculiar
as to make a satisfactory comparison
Impossible, and it is very difficult to
estimate tho allowance that should be
made for these local conditions."
The Glamour of Paternalism.
In. his heart of hearts the average
American believes in his country and
its Institutions and has faith that it
will successfully work out Its great
political, Industrial and social prob
lems in ways that are in harmony
with individual liberty and a demo
cratic form of government. But that
does not prevent an occasional hank
ering after the fleshpots of the Egypt
of paternal government, whether It is
frankly monarchical or nominally re
publican. We are prone to forget that
such a government Is a very, close cor
poration and one that Is apt to be ar
bitrary In Its methods and, since It
controls the courts, less amenable to
public sentiment than were the private
corporations it supplanted. That for
gctfuluess makes us au easy mark for
conscienceless writers who find it prof
itable to attack our institutions and
Industries by "writing up" the advan
tages of public ownership In other
lands, while preserving a discreet si
lence ns to Its disadvantages.
Municipal Morals.
A judgment for $42,715.30 has Just
been entered against the city of Du
buque, la., for conl delivered to the
municipal waterworks. There was no
question as to tho delivery of the coal
on the formal order of tho waterworks
trustees or of tho price being reason
able, but the city tried to evade pay
ment on the technical ground that the
city was practically bankrupt when
the orders were placed. The court
held that a speclnl tax could have been
levied.
This effort to evade a just debt is
bad cuough, but an even worse fea
ture of the matter. was that In order
to "make a good showing" the water
board had concealed this debt by skill
ful bookkeeping. Dubuque has a new
water board now.

REFLECTIONS ON
"THE ONE-TALENT-MAN"
OPPORTUNITY
"Unto one he (rave five talents, to another
two, and to another one; to every man ac
cording to his several ability."
Into every great city flows a turbulent river. It is
the rush of the Country's young manhoood, the flower
of the Nation into the vortex of strife and contention.
The pride and hope of many a home is borne along
by the pitiless current. One by one they emerge:
a famous statesman, a master of a fleet of ..merchant
men; the head of a great industrial enterprise; a thrifty
tradesman; a successful banker. The talents that
were theirs they multiplied a housand""fold. Theirs
are the names that men glorify.
Beside him who rose many perished. The inexor
able law demands progress; the only alternative is re
trogression; there is no middle ground life knows no
passive state. The ending of growth is the beginning
of decay.
A massive structure of steel and stone stretches its
topmost story into the dizzy heights. In the great
city are scores of them. Above the entrance, inellig
ibly, always a a message is written. Thousands pass
unheeding by. An ill-clad youth passed and read;to
him the message was plain O PPORTUNITY.
He entered. Here was the beginning" of a "great
career. . At the noontideof an eventful .life he stood
at tha entrance again.1 - Over the doorway was another
inscription HIS WAME. He had multiplied the tal
ents that had been given into his keeping he had en
tered info his reward.
Almost every magnificent structure that ornaments
the great city marks the triumphant chapter of a sue
. cessl'ul business'career. They are monuments to con
stanfendeavorysteadiness of purpose, integrity and
industry. None rises to the memory of J:he One-Talent-Man.
Throughout every great city, in every busy mart,
at the portal of every great business house, is written
"Opportunity." The place is seeking the young man
as diligently as the young man is seeking the posi
tion. It is open to him who, with preparation, - has
armed himself for commercial strife. To the self
opinionated young man, whose stock in trade is pride
and conceit, it is closed.
The great city calls' to the villages and country -places.
It invites the rich red blood that brings health
and vigor to congested population. The farmer boy
hears the call from afar. Let no hand restrain him.
No hand can turn the river from its course. When
the call comes let him have on the armor of prepara
tion. Thus fortified he will not live his life in search
of "OPPORTUNITY."
To be continued.
NOTE. The country population contrib- .
utes its full share of statesmen, soldiers, pro-;
fessional and business' men who rise to em
. ''
ineiice. It is a long step fiom thefarm to the
office desk and many a lad falls in attempting.-",'
it. Let him'make the'passage gradually and "
more safely. Below is offered ihe 'opportunity
of coming in personal contact with business
methods of becoming, by' the investment of
a few dollars a part of a business concern.
This opportunity doesn't present itself every
day. It may never have come to you before.
Perhaps your boy's future is giving you con
cern. A little practical schooling takes the
place of a wagon load of books. Give the pro-
position below a'moment's sober iWought.
