USEFUL CITIZEN GONE.
In the death of E. E. Charman, Or
egon City and Clackamas county lose
a most respected citizen. A native
of this city, Mr. Charman's forty
four years were passed in this vicin
ity where by honorable business deal
ings and sincerity of purpose in what
ever he undertook, he won lor mm
self the high regard and esteem of
the people both in the city and the
county with whom he had an exten
sive acquaintance.
More enterprising and public spirit
ed citizens than was Mr. Charman are
rare. For years he served in the City
Council, taking a live interest in all
questions pertaining to the interests
of the city. Valuable service was ren
dered the commounity by the departed
while he was associated with the
Oregon City Board of Trade in which
he was an indefatigable worker.
It is a matter of public -regret that
so useful a citizen should be prema
turely cut off from the activities of
life.
o
SCHOLARSHIP AND ITS REWARD
In his Harvard address, which
touched upon several burning topics
President Roosevelt briefly referred to
the striking contrast between the re
wards of success in industry and those
commanded by men and women who
devote themselves to science, art, ed
ucation or scholarship generally. Of
course, salaries in private life cannot
be arbitrarily regulated, but Mr. Roos
evelt is quite right in declaring that
in business "nothing could be more
healthy than an immense reduction
in the money value of the exceptional
prizes to be won." When we have
succeeded in abolishing graft, shackl
ing the cunning of "high finance,"
upon directors and proper protection
of all trust funds, a great step will
have been taken toward the change
favored by Mr. Roosevelt.
Meantime it is certtainly important
to render the life of the scholar, edu
cator, investigator, conscientious art
ist a little more attractive in a ma
terial sense than it now is, else the
"strong and virile"will turn more to
law, commerce and politics. The
President pointed out two distinct
needs better provision for the wel
fare of the average scholar and the
establishment of a sort of premium
for the exceptionally gifted and bril
liant. Undoubtedly the intellectual and ar
tistic life, like virtue, is its own re
ward in the end, but the question is
not whether there is serene satisfac
tion or regret at the end so much as
whether the opportunities as they ap
pear at the outset are sufficiently
tempting. If they are not there is
real danger that many will hesitate
to enter the educational profession or
to decide upon a scholarly career.
Since the creation of the Carnegie
fund for aged professors a good deal
has been written on the existing col
lege pension schemes and present
rates of professorial pay. That the
latter are painfully inadequate and
the former either onerous, involving
compulsory payments, or crude and
faulty is generally admitted. Yet the
Carnegie foundation, welcome as it is
as a recognition of a need, has been
severely criticised in some quarters
on account of its "charitable" charac
ter. Far preferable, it is said, would
be the method of bestowing more lib
eral gifts and endowments upon the
colleges, and thus enabling them to
liberalize and extend their pension
systems as well as to raise the salar
ies of the underpaid professors.
The whole matter deserves more
systematic consideration than it has
received, and the President's timely
plea will tend to direct proper atten
tion thereto. Chicago Record-Herald.
assistance. This is the provision
which Lord Lansdowne had in mind
when he told parliament that, whereas
the old treaty was designed and po
tent enough to prevent the spread of
any conflagration occurring in the far
East, the more comprehensive sub
stitute would surely prevent any con
flagration in that region during the
period of its duration ten years. No
power or combination of powers will
within that time venture to challenge
the combined forces of England and
Japan on land and on sea.
In no sense is the treaty a menace
to any country that is satisfied with
its present position in eastern Asia
and harbors no aggressive designs. It
respects all interests heretofore ac
quired and insists only on the open
door and equality of opportunity. In
deed the open-door principle is car
ried even into Korea. Witte told the
Japanese peace envoys that so far as
Russia was concerned Japan might
as well proclaim a protectorate over
the Hermit Kingdom, while the treaty
with England provides that any meas
ure taken by Japan in that "sphere of
influence" must be compatible with
"the principle of equal opportunity
for the commerce of all nations."

THE REPUBLICAN LINE IS SOLID.
THE TERMS OF THE ANGLO-JAPANESE
TREATY.
The text of the new treaty of alli
ance between England and Japan, just
published, confirms the semi-official
summaries previously printed and
calls for no revision of the judgments
already expressed regarding its sig
nificance and intended effects.
As the preamble states, the aim of
the agreement is to preserve the stat
us quo in the far east and along the
frontier of British India. The Indian
feature of the convention is doubtless
the most remarkable of all, since not
many months ago British statesmen
and serious organs of opinion strong
ly intimated that it would be impoli
tic, if not dangerous, on England's
part to stipulate for Japanese aid in
any hostilities arising over any issue
strictly Indian in character. Their
argument was that such a stipulation
would be regarded by unfriendly ele
ments in the great Asiatic dependency
as a sign of weakness, and might re
sult in a distinct loss of prestige.
The treaty provides that it either of
the contracting powers shall be in-
Senator Foraker denies the Demo
cratic reports that he is at variance
with the administration on the rail
way rate regulation question or any
thing' else. He makes a point, too,
which is of some consequence. Ac
cording to the senator, the Republi
cans at Chicago, in 1904, refused to
put a plank in their platform to give
to the interstate commerce commis
sion the power to regulate railway
rates. The Democrats, on the other
hand, have specifically indorsed that
principle. A Republican, therefore,
can oppose a measure on this line
without laying himself open to the
charge of party heterodoxy. But as a
majority of the Republicans of each
branch of Congress undoubtedly favor
some sort of rate regulation, a caucus
may be had on that issue whicl will
bring all the party in Senate and
House into line on it.
It is apparent from the senator's
words in his speech in Ohio, as well
as from his expressions in newspaper
interviews since then, that he is not
immovable in his opposition to the
principle of rate regulation. He will
go with his party on that, as on all
other important issues, as he always
has done. There is no discord on that
question among the Republicans. In
the absence of a platform declaration
committing the party to rate regula
tion, each individual member is free,
as the Ohio senator intimated, to ex
press his views on it. When some
authoritative commitment, like a cau
cus declaration, is issued, then all
the members of the party will stand
ogether. We see already, that a large
majority of the House, led by Mr.
Cannon, who will be re-elected speak
er, want rate regulation. They show
ed this in their vote for the Esch
Townsend bill. At one time and an
other most of the Republican senators
ave come out in favor of that princi
ple. A rate-regulation bill is to be
introduced in the Senate at the open
ing of the session. Previous to that
time, accodring to present plans, there
will be a meeting, not only of the in
terstate commerce committee, but of
all Republican leaders of the Senate,
to secure harmony on the rate-regula
tion issue. Senator Foraker will at
tend ftiat gathering.
. The President, it is said, has ex
pressed the opinion that there will
be no traiff legislation in the coming
session. In this view he is in accord
with the bulk of the Republican lead
ers. Only a corporal's guard of the
Republicans of the Senate and House
favor any tampering with the tariff
in the coming Congress. These two
are the only questions on which there
has been, at any time, a chance for
Republican discord. On both all sec
tions of the party will be in line. The
President, in the preparation of his
message, already under way, is con
sulting with the party leaders on
these and all other large questions.
They know where he stands, and he
knows what position they will take. A
general council of the Republican
chiefs of both Houses will be held in
Washington just before Congress
meets, early in December, and a pro
gramme of legislation will then be
marked out. That overwhelming ma
jority which the Republicans have in
each branch will be effective for prac
tical legislation this winter. Repub
lican divergencies on any important
issue might have an embarrassing ef
fect on the congressional canvas of
190G, which will be opening about the
time that the coming session will end.
There is not the faintest likelihood,
however, of any trouble on this score.
o
OF COURSE THIS DOES NOT AP
PLY TO OREGON CITY.
Under the caption "Be Consistent,"
the Myrtle Point Enterprise perti
nently remarks:
"A good deal is said about people
trading with home merchants, which
is all very well. Local papers always
advocate it, as indeed, it is their duty
to do so. The Enterprise has always
tried to show to the people the advant
age of trading at home and why they
are under obligations to do so. Cat
alogue houses spend nothing in the
county but work a continual drain.
Local dealers buy the farmers' pro
duce, extend him credit when he is
short financially, pay the taxes that
keep up our roads, churches and our
schools. There is never any advant
ages in patronizing catalogue houses
and there is a thousand and one rea
sons why everyone should stand loy
ally by the home dealer who does so
much for the community. But the
agency that does more than all oth
ers combined for the city and com
munity is the home paper. It has al
ways a good word for the business
men of the community; howls itself
hoarse trying to show the people why
they should patronize home dealers.
It is a matter of duty, of course, but
one which the editor does cheerfully
without stint. Business men should
show their appreciatidn of the work
however. Some do; others do not.
Occasionally we run across a mer
chant who expects us to keep ever
lastingly at the people to patronize
home institutions but when he has
some job work which he wishes done
sends it to some San Francisco house
like the man who sends away for
his goods. Perhaps he can save 50
cents on a thousand letterheads. But
does it pay in the long run? Does his
money ever come back? How much do
these houses spend ' with him in a
year? There is no difference in the
man who cheats the merchant out
of what he should have by sending
away than the merchant who cheats
the local paper out of the work to
which it is entitled and the man who
sends away for his printing should be
consistent enough not to ask the edi
tor to say much in his interest. It
always pays to support home institu
tions. Trade at home. Merchants
patronize your home printer and show
your appreciation of his services."

Hon. Qharles B. Moores, of Salem,
was at Grants Pass Wednesday greet
ing his friends and looking over the
political situation in this part of the
First Congressional District. Mr.
Moores is one of the leading citizens
of Salem and is prominently mention
ed as a candidate on the Republican
ticket for congressman at the elec
tion next Spring. From the encour
agement he has received from friends
in various parts of the district Mr.
Moores feels confident that he has a
very good chance of receiving
These same merchants generally
think they are accomplishing a great
saving and exercising sober business
judgment when they refuse to patron
ize the advertising columns of the
home paper. Still they expect the
paper to work over-time booming the
town and its various enterprises. It
is this penurious class of business
men who become indignant if the pub
lisher takes advertising from a mer
chant in a neighboring town, who
handles the same line of goods.
The local paper is the medium
through which to reach the people of
any community. It enters the homes
of a majority of the people with whom
the merchant transacts business and
upon whose patronage , largely de
pends his success.
Advertising space is the publisher's
principal stock in trade and as the
merchant's success depends on sales,
so is the sale of space for advertis
ing purposes essential to the success
ful management of a newspaper. Re
ceipts are as necessary in conducting
a newspaper as in managing the gen
eral merchandise business. The space
is for sale and if the home merchant
has not gumption enough to apprec
iate its worth, the publisher must
make disposition of his stock in trade
to more progressive merchants, even
though they are located in a neighbor
ing city.
It is all right to expect the home pa
per to be loyal to the town and its
interests. But loyaty is a reciprocal
quality aud should be possessed in
some small measure, at least, by those
whose interests are certainly advanc
ed with each succeeding issue of the
well-edited weekly.

One Grandson May Acquire Dissolute
Brothers' Share of an Estate.
If the plans of the agent of his
grsspdfather's estate do not miscarry,
Edward W. McNamara will shortly
find most welcome and convincing
proof that virtue is its own reward.
Several years ago John McNamara,
a prominent Scotchman, died in this
county leaving an estate that was
the , then valued at $3100. The property
was left in trust with John W. Mel- i
drum, of this city, the conditions of j
the arrangement being that the es-
tate should be equally divided between
the testator's two grandsons, Edward
W. and John T. McNamara, when they
attained the age of 25 years, should
they then be sober, industrious and
respectable citizens!
Two years ago the elder grandson,
Edward, attained the required age
and received his portion of the estate.
i John reached the age of 25 a few days
ago, but as trustee of the estate, is is
not Mr. Meldrum's intention to turn
over to the younger brother his share
of the estate. He finds that as a re
sult of wayward and dissolute habits,
John has only recently returned to
his home in Washington county after
serving a sentence at the state peni
tentiary. In disposing of his estate, Mr. Mc
Namara made a further provision to
the effect that in event the two grand
sons became dissolute and other than
representative citizens, that the prop
erty should go to a sister of the tes
tator, residing in England. Assuming
that that' condition of the contract is
rendered void since one grandson
has fulfilled, the requirements of the
testator as to citizenship, Mr. Mel
drum, as trustee of the estate, will
next week petition the court for an
order directing him to turn over to
the exemplary grandson, Edward W.
McNamara, the remaining and unap
propriated one-half of the estate.
