A MATTER OF DUTY.
We need not be railroad men to un
derstand that railroad problems in
which the interests of the public are
concerned are many and vexatious,
eays the Telegram. We will agree,
if we are reasonably disposed, with
the man who contends that the public
oftimes complains of unjust treat
ment at the hands of the railroad peo
ple, when the complaint is not well
founded; that frequently there is not
a full understanding of conditions and
the railroad is censured for what it
really cannot prevent.
But to assume that the public is
now and then mistaken is not, by any
means to relieve the railroads from
performing their full duty and if not
their full duty, at least their reason
able duty. It appeals to the average
man of affairs, that if a condition det
rimental to the business of an entire
section has existed for a couple of
years, and if it grows worse instead
of better, there is something wrong
with the management to which we
look for the correction of that condi
tion. If there is no amendment there
is plain ignoring of duty, which needs
attention. The obligation to perform
a duty implies a corresponding right
and when the duty is left undischarg
ed the right is violated.
For approximately two years we
have been hearing of car shortage on
the Harriman lines. The lack of trans
portation on this account has been
serious. There has been promise up
on promise to correct the condition, j
"ft has been urged again and again that
the road is doing all that it can; that
it is for its own interest to provide the
cars as rapidly as they can be procur
ed, and that no one regrets the unfortu
nate state of affairs more than the
management and officials.
We have no doubt thai t,he officials
are doing all -that they Can at least
the officials who are charged with the
specific management of this particu
lar section of the road. But the scarc
ity of cars still exists and is intensi
fied. Instead of finding relief, we are
in worse trouble and while excuses
of the sort mentioned are always on
tap, the business of the entire North
west suffers, with no sign of remedy.
In this matter of the supply of cars
and motive power adequate to the
needs of a section the railroad, eco
nomically considered, is nothing more
nor less than a public servant. If a
man who acts in any capacity, from
track-walker to superintendent, and
that man is unable to correct a condi
tion that hampers the operation of the
road, when the correction is plainly
within his power, he will lose his
place. The railroad manager always
looks for results. He takes no such
excuses as he offers the public when
he is derelict. He has his own rea
sons involving a theory of false eco
nomy which leads him to believe that
as long as dust can be thrown in the
eyes of the public, and his convenience
is served, all is well.
There should be a way by which the
public can put a check on this er
ror. The railroad derives its revenue
from the public. It should be made
to serve the public in return and to
serve it adequately without first con
sulting its own convenience. Legisla
tures have the power to do this. They
have behind them a popular public
sentiment. All that is needed is moral
stamina, courage and intelligence.
'IFS"- IN CUBA.
It is clear that if the revolutionary
feeling in Cuba against the present
government is general, of if there is
enough of it to keep the island in a
constant ferment, the separate repub
lic in its present form can not stand,
says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
President Palma has no substantial
army organization and no equipment
for a large body of volunteers if they
came forward. The government force
to preserve order consists of a few
thousand guards scattered through
the different provinces. They are an
armed constabulary rather than a mili
tary organization. War is costly, as
Spaii found In dealing with insurrec
tion in Cuba, and he United States
expended a vast sum in liberating the
island. Measures for positive pacifica
tion can not be long delayed.
President Palma's . understanding
was that Cuba should be self-governing
through the ballot box, and he has not
provided for the subjugation of revo
lutions. It was assumed that the peo
ple would hold elections peacefully
and respect the will of the majority. If
Palma can not sustain himself, no suc
cessor, chosen by the same or simi
lar machinery, or placed in author
ity by rebel success, could hope for
stability. Cuba is a republic funda
mentally limited by a certain guard
ianship by the United States. Half a
dozen insurgents in each neighborhood
if persistent, would call for an exten
sive military establishment and a
strong policy vigorously followed up.
The situation indicates that interven
tion by the United States will be forc
ed, and perhaps speedily.

It seems but a short time since the
first pilgrims to the Klondike suffered
great hardships in climbing Chilkoot
pass, and now the traveler there is
given a lift toward Dawson by 111
miles of railway. Skagway, its sea
terminal, is a city with steam-heated
hotel, bank, opera house, college, elec
tric lights, steam laundries and first
class waterworks. Alaska is the most
promising base for a steady advance
on the pole.

A good health department's value
is hard to estimate. It is stated that
the cost of typhoid fever in Pennsyl
vania is $14,000,000 a year.

In one respect the political conven
tions of 1906 are all alike they inva
riably declare for the square deal, re
gardless of party.

San Francisco sent a preliminary
$10,000 to Valpariso, and is ready to
supply any numbers of appetising
curb-stone menus.
A careful reading of the rate bill
shows a loophole whereby Rockefeller
can be accommodated with a pass.
Orthography is now supposed to

ways and any old way.

Starving to Death.
Because her stomach was so weak
ened by useless drugging that she
could not eat, Mrs. Mary H. Walters,
of St. Clair St., Columbus, O., was lit
erally starving to death. She writes:
"My stomach was so weak from use
lesse drugs that I could not eat, and
my nerves so wrecked that I could not
sleep i and not before I was given up
to die was I induced to try Electric
Bitters; with the wonderful result
that improvement began at once, and
a complete cure followed." Best health

FARMERS', TELEPHONE LINES.
Representatives of the Pacific
States Telephone & Telegraph com
pany have started a house to house
canvass among the farmers of this
county, offering an extremely low rent
al rate for instruments to be used in
connection with the central offices of
the company throughout the county.
For 8 1-3 cents a month the subscrib
er is given free switching with all
other subscribers connecting with his
central exchange. Under this rate

attendant advantages .especially as
every assurance is given of prompt
and efficient service.
Mr. G. J. Hall is in charge of the
canvass in this county and he states
that he may be seen at the central of
fice of the company in Oregon City,
Oregon, or will visit any community
or organization of farmers interested
in telephone matters. 33eow.
