The Cannon boom Ih doomed to col lapse. "Undo Joe" lion long been n prominent flguro In national politics imil lin mnny admirable (inilltlrB nnd traits tin a statesman, but a national Itepuhllran convention, while It wilt Klvo him n good complimentary vote, and will cheer him "to tho echo," will not nominate him for President, One reason Is, he Ik miliar too old. In 1909, when the iuxt President will be Inaugurated, he will bo 73 years of age. II Is true that many men at Hint ago have not appreciably deteriorated mentally; that there are several sena tors much older who nro apparently entirely capable of performing their duties; that (Hailstone, Dedessops, and mnny other noted men, did some of their best work when much older, nnd Hint quite probably Cannon might live out his term, nt the end of which ho would be 77, ami conduct the otllco with vigor nnd wisdom; but for all that it man at 73 Is rather too old to carry the very heavy burdeiiH necos ititrlly ImpoHcd upon a President who does his duty well and thoroughly. After having Roosevelt for President for seven and a half years, the conn tiy Is not going to take the risk of nominating so old a mnn as Cannon. Another reason Ih that Cannon Is too much of a standpatter. 'While Iho He publican party Ih firmly nnd positively committed to protection, It Is, or should not be committed to tlm per petuntlon of tho Dlngley or nny other turlff Inw. A grent many HepubllcniiH fully mid vnniCHtly belovo that tho tnriff should bo occiiHlonully rovlHed, nnd Hint the time has Indeed paused when the work of rn vision of tho pres. out tnriff law ought to have been taken up, mid not allow (ho DeniocrntH, un der tho Irad of Hrymi, to use stand put Ism as a club to break the Hepubll can partyV back, as they are likely to do unless the Ilepubllcnus make a genuine revision In Hie Interests of the people before 1908. A pretense of revision and reform won't do; tho peo- plo want such a revision nH will mako protection more bennllclal to the peo- jilo generally niul loss bencllclnl to tho 'triislH than It Ih now. Hut Cannon Is n standpatter from Rtnndpattersvllle, and ennnot sue tho necessity of doing what ought to bo ilium now, Instead of waiting till tho people, when perhnpH In Hie near fu ture they uro not quite so prosperous iih now, will condemn the party for not doing It and turn It out o'f power, which would bo a national calamity, iih the election of a Democratic Presi dent ami congress always has heoi mid always will he. Tho "logical candldnte" Ik Tuft, and It Ih believed that tho President clear ly perceives IIiIh. Hoot Ih n very able man, but would not bo popular; Fair banks would arouse no eutliiiHliiHiu: Tuft Ih not only an able nnd reliable constructive statesman of a high or der, but ho Ih nlso "n Jolly good fel low." which counts for n good deal sometimes. The chnnees look- better now for Tnft tluiu for any other man. had made no complaint; ho was al- Tho mntter ought not to he nllowfd ready paying as high wnges ns nny-to drag along. Now It Is "next year'' body; but ho said he believed they When next year comes It may still he earned more and was going to give It to them. Mr. Pence wns for several terms "next year." With some peoplo "next year," like tomorrow, never comes. Wo think the Southern Pacific Intend representative In congress from Colo-. to make this change, and of course It rado, and a very able one, gaining n tniiBt hnvo a reasonable time in which to no su, mil nui an imrcasonnii' national reputation. He Ih a practical miner and nn expert civil engineer, nnd n practically educated mnn In many ways. He Is moreover nn agree able companion, and a mnn with a big heart as well as a big brain nnd big purse, nnd It wuh a good thing for Portland when ho "struck tho town." This city has long needed men of such enterprise and talent, along with plen ty of menus, ns Mr. Pence. Long llfo mid nhundnnt success to Lafe Pence. THI5 COI.UMntJS EXPOSITION. Some people, In both the North nnd tho South, though the nssertlon is more frequently heard In tho South, claim Hint on account of his rncc, tlm Negro Ih Incnpnhle of ndvunccmont, of becoming self-sustaining, reliable citi zens. et n few days ngo there was held at Columbus, Ohio, a great col ored people's industrial mid educa tional exhibition, which wuh In Itself proof that people who make such n statement are egreglously mlstnken, In scope mid management It was equal to any similar exposition that could be mude by nn equal number of average wMto people. It was conoid crod mi affair of sulllclent merit ind consequence for Vice-President Fair hanks to attend, mid he mid Hooker T. Washington made addresses from the same platform, and they lunched to- gethor -which will cause another howl from the negrophoblHtH. We are not eulogizing unreasonably the Negro race In America, mid we know that they have an Immense amount yet to learn and accomplish. Wo know, too, that many of them are too Idle mid "shiftless" but tho same might he said of many white people; look at the thousands of hobos who won't work at high wages at any thinghut that a great number of colored people are doing fairly well In all respects nnd nro no disgrace to their country, and that they are mak ing steady ami sure, If slow, advance ment along Industrial nnd educational linen, no well-Informed mid Impartial obaorver can deny. time. This matter haH beep under discussion a long time, nnd tho com pany must hnve known long ago that It would hnvo to tnko the present traf fic off Fourth street for we do not believe nny court in tho land would hold Hint old permit to tho original rnllrond compnny was a free grant In perpetuity of the use of tho street to all that company's successors. Meanwhile It would do no harm to pass tho Vaughn ordinance mid re pent the old franchise or permit. This would be a proper official declaration that tho company was tiBtilng the street only on suffernnce, nnd would he expected to move ns soon ns con veniently possible, or bo moved.

A HKNKFACTOK QV I'OHTLAND. 1'roliahly no one man, iiiiIohh we ex cept .laiiiea J. Hill, Iiiih ilouo ho niueh In the pant two yearn to heuellt Port land, or Ih likely to ilo so much for VuiiH to come, ami 'hat with no loud Mare of tnnnpeln or series of puffing wilteupH, as Ijifo Penee. Ho catno to I'ortlaiul only two or three years iiko to remain nnd ctry on hU Rrdnt lUoJeetH, though 10 had heen hero, hefore, nnd with keen perception had looked over the wound, noted no only the peculiarly ndvantUKcouB situation of this city, hut examined Its physical niul commercial features thoroughly. Satisfying hluiHcIf that there wns a rich Held for tho employment talents and capital, Mr Pence niiliilrliiK certain water right leges and other properties, having fiom the beginning hn-gc piojects In view which he Is gradually developing. As everyhody now knows, one of them was the lUIIng In of the low lauds adjacent to Guild's lake hy dltt washed by hjdraulle process from the over looking hills, to the great advantage of both. Prom this locality ho is con htriictlug an electric railroad to J.liin- Tho trouble with the lynching of Negroes Is thnt It becomes n habit, a mania. A good many peoplo nre nn the lookout to have a hand in lynch ing a "nigger" If ho linn committed any kind of a crime, ami nnnie of ll.em don't care much whether he tins committed any crime at nil or not. Four colored men wero lynched In South Caroll'ia within ten il.iy. an I several others In the South during the Hiime period. We do not blame men so very much for lynching colored men who assauljt defenseless women ami girls, though even they should hnvo it legal trial and conviction, tho same ns a white man who commits the sniiie offense. Hut In many cases the crime, charged was perhaps ncvor committed; there Is often no real proof of it. An accusation Is sulll clent, Suppose n woman or girl has n grudge against a colored man for any reason; supposo he has only icrb ally Insulted her, or oven made n re mark that offended her; all ahe has to do to get him lynched Is to charge him with nn nssnult nnd Identify him, and that is tho end of him. 'We know that there have been altogether too mini genuine cases of such aasuults, and no punishment though It should bo n legal punishment -Is too severe (or the assaulters; but a good many Negroes have been lynched who prob ably never committed the crlmca with which they wero charged. Hut besides this, tho lynching of Negroes for this offense lends to their lynching for almost any offense, for tobbory, for assault .upon men, for burglary, for oven leas crimes. White men are committing these crimes nil over tlm critmtri m-nrv ilnv nml nn. of "labody thinks of lynching them; there i".1 ift,',.wll' lynch tho colored men? m'v''. Merely because of n barbarous race r.ud color prejudice: It is this und not the especial heluousness of the crime, generally, thnt prompts white men, to lynch colored men. LOOK FOR LABEL ON MEAT. How Government Inspectors Will In dicate What it Good, Washington, Aug. 31. Owing tothe new meat inspection law, tho number of Inspectors' labels used will bo more than doubled. Already the Agnail total department lino contracted to supply 10,000 or tho month of Sep tember, and alter the law becomes effective this number will bo increased to 16,000. The tag ia about one and one quarter Inches rquaro. It is a thin sheet o( gelatine, wltln few threads running on it. There is printed in blue letter a legend Iiko this: "United Statts. In spected. Passed 207." The number at the end la that o( the abattoir in spector, who simply slaps the little tag on a piece of meat and the heat and moisture of the (realily-killed meat makes it sticx. In a short time too gelatine dissolves, the linen threads rub off, and there la left nothing but the print of those blue letters in tbe meat. It cannot be removed, except by cutting. It Is absolutely harmless, THK S, P. AND FOUHTH STItKKT. Again It Is reported In the dally newspapers, this time with appear ancu of the Infnruiatlon coming from Planning Immense Dam. Denver, Aug. 31, Papers have been filed with tbe state engineer o( Colo rado which have for their purpose tbe redemption of nearly 1,000,000 acres of arid lands, the largest irrigation proposition that baa ever been under taken by private capital, Frank J. McCarthy, a civil engineer of Denver, is now drafting plans to. build a reser voir that will cover 24 square miles, have an average depth of 35 (eet, -and use the entire surplus water of the Platte river. Heretofore, it has bees estimated that 88,115,000,000 cable feet of water was wasted yearly in the Platte river, water which, if properly tli verted and used on land adjoining, would initiate 1,000,000, acres of land and wouM support 100,000 people.
