So far neither Uncle Sam nor
Judge Landls have Indicated that they
have an aversion tor tainted money.
It Isn't the automobile that la a
menace to the farmer or pedestrian;
It's the reckless running of the ma
chine by a man who rarely knows any
better.
A Dallas, Texas, man Just returned
from a Job at Panama asserts that the
canal will never be completed. What
an Importance that man has In his
own eyes.
If the Moroccan soldier believe they
will go direct to heaven If killed in
battle why did they run so hard when
the French soldiers chased them a
few days ago? . . , . .
The Eugene Register wants the gov
ernment to build wing dams in Wil
lamette so that the river may be
made navigable the year around as
far up its source as that city. ,
Negro women are said to be very
bitter against President Roosevelt.
As they can't vote, and the President
don't want a third term anyway,, we
fall to see how they can injure him.
They are to have a new prison Ir
New York that will cost three mil
lions. A screw is loose somewhere
when it is necessary to spend so
much money to keep transgressors in
line.
An exchange thinks that because
Caleb Powers has been in Jail seven
years, charged with Goebel's murder,
he has been inhumanly treated. B"
how about Goebel, who has been dead
these same seven years?
A recent utterance by the physician
of John D. Rockefeller establishes the
fact that Wm. Rockefeller, the father
of the Oil King, is still alive. Why
in hiding? Is there a family skeit
ton hanging about the neck of the
old man?
In California outside of cities where
charters protect them, men convicted
of felony may continue to hold office
just as long a3 some Judge can be
found who will grant an appeal. Nice
state of affairs: keeps the criminal
at the public crib Indefinitely.
Standard Oil officials are using the
word liar promiscuously. Certain
testimony given by Standard officials
in years past, when the Government
had no data to refute it, leads observ
ing readers to believe that Standard
officials suspect others of their own
game.
Friends of Governor Fo'.k of Mis
souri are taking steps to have William
Jennings Bryan announce his inten
tions relative to the Democratic nom
ination for. President, and In case Mr,
Bryan Is at all shy in his declarations
they Intend to go after the nomina
tion for" Mr. Folk. " " "
The Eugene Sunday Register comes
to our desk a sixteen-page paper, fill
ed with handsome advertisements.
As Eugene is no larger than Oregon
City, and can have but few more bus
iness houses, it 13 plain to see that
they are ail hustling for what business
there la in that neighborhood.
It is estimated that it costs $1200
a year to support a criminal who is
locked in prison. This in . itself
preaches a strong sermon in favor of
a revision of our penal laws and meth
ods. Advocates of public playgrounds
and industrial schools claim that they
will largely decrease the number of
criminals. 1
If President Roosevelt can make
that Standard Oil fine stick, and land
on the Chicago & Alton in about the
same place, it won't make any differ
ence whether the trusts subscribe to
his campaign fund or not; he can
have almost the unanimous vote of
the common people without any cam
paign fund.
Ex-GovernorW, L. Douglas of Massa
chusetts, who is better known as the
big shoemaker, is a good judge of ad
vertising mediums, for he has tried all
that are going. In speaking of news
papers and -magazines he gives prefer
ence to the former. To find an ad in
a magazine is like hunting a needle
ln a haystack. A well built ad in a
clean newspaper is right in front iof
you. You must read it because there
is no way to get around It.
GOING TO BE GOOD. .
i
' Word is passod along the line that
the big corporations have docldvd to
be good and will turn in and aid the
President and his advisers In, an ef
fort to straighten out the tangle into
which business has gotten on account
of the evasions of certain corporations
in the past, and the effort to force
them into line, which has been made
In recent months.
This Is good news, If true; and
that It Is perhaps true we are led to
believe from the fact that conditions
had become such that something must
be done, and that soon; and the fur
ther fact that about tno only thing
which could be done to save the day
wss to lie good.
The corporations and the men at
the head of them' have not changed;
this shift in conditions and attitudes
has been made not in deference to
the will of the people but because of
the fact that the people had risen
and were determined to have their
rights respected.
The attacks made on corporations
in the past few months have done
great damage to stock prices and to
stock dividends. This has been true
where even the better class of stocks
were concerned. These slumps in
stocks made the men who were finan
cing the corporations sit up and look,
and as a result these same men now
manifest a willingness to aid the
President tn his campaign so Tar as
It will restore confidence In their
stocks, at least.
But It is not necessary for the
President to cease his vigilance Just
because a few who have been caught
with the goods on them weaken.
THE INLAND WATERWAY.
Many pages have been written on
the subject of inland waterways, but
so far there are doubting Thomases
who profess to think there is little
good in spending money to Improve
natural conditions.
In this part of Oregon there are
hundreds who think well of our rivers,
but there are not as many enthusiasts
as there ought to be. It is true that
combinations between railway and
river operatives may minimize the
good we might receive from water
ways, whether improved or not, but
what would be the result In case
there were no waterways or they
were not In shspe for navigation we
can only imagine.
Under the caption 'Trelght by Sea
and Railway." the July bulletin of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
gives the followlngstrfking" Illustra
tion of the enormous difference be
tween the tariff on freight by water
and the tariff charged by the railway
to the shipper, and paid, in the end,
by the consumer.
"Consul R. B. Mosher, of Port Eliz
abeth, Cape Colony, reports that a
ton of galvanized Iron Is brought from
England to Natal. 7,000 miles, for
$6.07, costs by rail from Natal to
Johannesburg, 483 miles, $26.77. From
and to the same places a barrel of
cement costs 98 cents and $1.78 re
spectively." This is an impartial statement
from an impartial official who is sup
posed to tel! things as he sees them.
We may be inclined to smile at the
Idea of the Willamette River keeping
down freight rates to a city so near
to a center as we are, but there is
little doubt that the Willamette works
for our benefit or that It might be
made to do even more If the citizens
of Oregon City were alive to their
privileges.
BOLSTERING UP ITS CASE.
The Standard Oil Co. is out in a
pamphlet in which the attempt is
made to excuse Itself. The circular
claims that the lower courts are bi
ased, that in an effort to punish the
Standard rights of individuals were
trampled on and it claims that the
higher courts are sure to reverse the
verdict.
This action of the Standard is not
to be wondered nt That the company
vould fight to the last ditch was ex
pected, and that any and every menos
would be used to influence public
sentiment and the action of the high
er court was a foregone conclusion.
And that thousands of dollars will be
used, if an opening is seen, to buy
the court can be depended upon.
What the public should do is to as
sure any judge and any court that
sells to the Standard that life won't
be worth living If even a suspicjon of
crookedness finds lodgment.
The case against', the Standard
seems conclusive, and the public are
(1ftrm!r.e'1 that v.o stillty nan must
escape. The people of the United
States, regardless cf politics, ehould
insist that powerful law breakers be
given as severe sentences as the
smaller offender, who has been sent
to jail In the past for stealing so much
a3 a loaf of bread. And as long as
the Administration persists ln punish
ing the big offenders it should have
the united support of the whole peo
ple. On the first page we print an Inter-
I view, by Fruit Inspector Reed. Mr.
Reed's picture is highly over drawn,
we doubt not, but It will make good
reading nevertheless. A sharp criti
cism does not hurt an honest 'man; 'It
causes hlnvNto stop and see If there
is Just cause for criticism which Is
often the case and it spurs him on
to better efforts In the future. While
It Is not true that ClHOkamas county
cltlxena are as slovenly as Mr. Reed
Infers, still It won't injure them to
be severely scored. Good work will
prove Mr. Reed to have been mistak
en; good work will put ine laugh on
him.
Senator Foraker Is out In a denial
that the American people a ant the
tariff revised. When ne 'under
stands that Senator Foraker Is a
trust lawyer, retained on a salary of
$50,000 a year, it Is easy to see why
he opposes President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft. The "American peo
ple" whom he represents In all like
lihood do not want tariff revision.
But how about the thousands who are
contributing to the trusts through
the tariff? Do not a large number of
them wish for tariff revision?

President Roosevelt is Burely msk-
Ing friends among the peoplo of thla
great republic, it cannot be other-
wise when one reads what he says
regarding the administration of laws

and every American citizen to hold up
the hands of the President as long as
he continues to follow out that policy.
What Is Harrlman in Oregon for at
this time? Has he lost his grip oa
the transportation problem of the
state? Are we to see a competitor
and has this new prowpect made It
necessary for Harrlman to hurry to
Oregon to devise some plan whereby
he can placate the publie and hold
the major portion of the transporta
tion business of the state? These are
questions one hears these days, and
they are questions hard to answer.
Germany and Prance not only
spend millions on natural waterways,
but also on canals. Canals are ail
right in their place but when a state
has two natural waterways, like the
Columbia and Willamette, it is nig
gardly not to Improve them as fast as
commerce demands It.
The President's recent utterance
relative to continuing the fight on the
same old line even If it does "take all
summer" to get the trust barons,
leads many people to think there is
certain to be a necessity for Mr.
Roosevelt to run again.
Cut the catalogue houses out and
patronize your home merchants. In
this way you help to build up ' the
country and Indirectly yeu get back
ln Increasing values for your home
products more thsn you spend with
outside firms.
Portland humanitarians are up in
srms over Governor Chamberlain's
defense of flogging prisoners In the
state penitentiary. The charge is
made that such a method of punish
ment is but a relic of the dark ages.
This Taft boom may possibly hold
the Roosevelt admirers Into line un
til the last moment when the whole
country decides to draft the Presi
dent for another term.
