For many years Oregon has expected some savior to arise who should suc cessfully meet the original problem of joining the two parts of the state which Nature left asunder. Pending so great a deliverance, people have done the best they could by taking railroads as fast as they were built, wagon roads where railroads were not, trails where wagon roads did not exist Into the desert places he 6ettlers have, some how or other, gone in. Every rule of railroad building into new states, adopted by men like John L Blair in Iowa, and formulated by J. J. Hill in his territory in recent years, has been suspended or violated in Oregon. Pros pects and possibilities, even certainties. of traffic did not suffice here. Men must pack their goods, and haul their families, and drive their stock, and set up, their homes. The family must at tract and develop the community, and tne community must grow into the town. Farms must be fenced and plowed, crops must be raised, orchards planted, stock must multiply, schools and churches be built, wagon roads opened, post routes established, tele grapn wires stretched, newspapers printed, even county seats fixed, and then? The cry of these people must go unheeded for years and years, until the pitch was reached which assailed even the ear of the one man who, under the strange circumstances of the hour. could give relief. And, his policy being always to let well enough alone, nothing was even then done until the attention of some one outside the magic circle of the "Harrlman lines' was gained. First, then, came promises. The outcry might thus "be stopped and the previous condition of inertia be resumed. "When promises lost their force, the next step was to send a few surveyors Into the disturbed district, and get a right of way from somewhere to somewhere, the longer the better, as more people would be reached by the cooling shadow of the possible railroad. Thus years might be consumed, while the piling up in the treasury of profits from the Oregon system might go on to provide funds for the. new enterprise, in meal or in malt But one fine day news would come that some other corporation had been organized, some other surveyors had "begun work, some other right of way was being got Presto, the scene changes. The new word Is given outt VCome, fill up my cup, and fill up my can; come, saddle, my horses, and. call out my men." Like Chinese armies, Ihere was a great shaking of banners and firing of guns in the air, that, per chance, the foe might be frightened and run. AJ1 of which is amusing to the on looker, but death to those who are tired of talk of railroads, 6lck of. promises, surfeited with news of surveyors and rights of way, but ivhose livelihood de pends on the actuality of a road which should follow close on -the heels of these advance guards, but does not. Past experience causes us to cast wary and distrustful eyes on this new starting of an, engineering party from Eugene eastward. It seems now that a new company, the Oregon Eastern, has been organized, by men whose names are generally unknown, but are now said to be identified with the manage ment of the O. R. & N. The engineers refuse any further means whereby they may be identified, but state that they expbet to -be for some months engaged between the summit of the Cascades and Eugene. But, though starting from a Southern Pacific point, neither heads nor employes of the party admit con nection " with that road. Meanwhile some of the chief officials of the O. B, & N. and the Southern Pacific Com pany In this city have a charming trip to the Klamath country, entering It by the new line now being rapidly extend ed Into Klamath County from a South ern Pacific Railroad point in California. a we have read of the proposed new line during the last lew days, most of us have compared It "with the map. It Is Eugene to Ontario; southward branch to Klamath and Lakevlew. But was it not at Xakeview that the Gould line was to enter Oregon, on Its way to Portland? "Was it not the Gould plan to cross this very Klamath country. run northward to the Deschutes, open the Irrigated lands to railroad, cross the timber region, of the Cascades, enter the "Willamette Valley, and so on to Portland? If this new Harrlman line Is to ie a reality. It might so occupy the great field as to destroy the local traffic Inducements to the Gould prop osition. If it is meant for a Chinese scare, it might possibly work with some people. If It Is meant so to oc cupy the district as to be an effective stopper on any attempt of Mr. Ham mond to get capital to extend the Cor valls & Eastern across the same terri tory why, that is a conceivable pur pose also. Anyway, it Is .a shrewd move. A TROPOSED HALL OF FAME. It has' been remarked that -n-hpn a. stranger visits a city, those to whom toe repute 01 meir civic norae is a ear do not take him to the slums and stews. They conduct his carriage to those quarters which the genius of the architect has beautified with noble structures, where fountains play and parks spread their verdure to please the eye and solace the mind. So far as inanimate things are concerned, it Is our practice to exhibit to the way faring stranger the - best and most beautiful the city contains. He is led In ways of pleasantness and guided In paths of peace; but of the city's real treasures, those possessions more pre cious than cloud-capped towers and gorgeous palaces, more desirable and lovely than Orient gems of these he sees little or nothing. Cornelia, mother of the Gracchi, when her friend had finished boasting of her diamonds and rubies, led in her two boys and proudly said, "These are my Jewels." But, no matter how many strangers there may be within our gates, our civic Jewels. our citizens whose godliness and wealth shine pre-eminent, remain secluded in their banks or offices and are visible only by chance or not at all It is pro posed to remedy this state of things. At a conference of Christian canltal- ists where the matter was -oraverfullv debated there was much doubt about the best expedient to adopt; it was even urged by sqme of a pessimistic turn that the whole question should be left in the hands of the Lord; but finally one of our leading pastors arose and made the followintr which was unanimously adopted. Let a platform be erected, he urged, at some beautiful 6pot in one of the public paries, ana covered with a canoDv of purple silk. Upon the platform place seven chairs, or thrones, of white mar ble, though of course the seats shouM be cushioned. The purple will signify majesty, the white marble, purity. Here let Beven of our civic Jewels -who shall be found worthy exhibit them selves dally; not all at the same time. perhaps, but each at some fixed hour, so that those who desire thi ty,at and spiritual satisfaction of gazing upon some particular Jewel need never be disappointed. This sujrcMtlon no above remarked, was un.inimmi.it. adopted, and it was also agreed to place over the seats, or thrones, this inscription In very large, clear letters: .aiarK the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." "Whether such a hall of fam iqhnll serve the lofty purposes of which it might be capable, or not. -win nf course, depend a great deal upon the qualifications established for its oenn- pants. Judiciously chosen, thev wiir not not only glorify the city In the eyes or visiting strangers, but also and this is really much more Import antthey will be a perpetual inspira tion to the young. In the first place. uie occupant of a seat In our chip hall j of fame should come from a rjrain station In life. There Is a difference! uKiween goia ana ciay, and it Is not desirable to use clay In an exhibit of this character when gold is available. If, as Jefferson held, it takes three generations to make a gentleman, cer tainly It mUBt take tWO to make .1. nlMnr of society. "We want no such renronch cast upon our hall of fame as Mark Twain threw at the French They dwelt In perennial doubt, he said! who their fathers -v -kv. r -!-. v owui UUUUl shall haunt the occupants of our hall 01 lame. What their fathers were rtnt not so much matter. Ancestors are re markable among commodities for the fact that their value Is Independent of their quality; and if we bothered our selves too much about the characters of the fathers of our civic Jewels, the chairs In the hall of fame would all re main vacant. Much more important are the charac ters of the Jewels themselves. The Spartans used to set up a public drunk ard much In the same manner, but our purpose is to teach the vounsr and th stranger what they should Imitate, not wnat tney should abhor; therefore it goes without saying that the first requisite In the characters of our exem plars Is godliness. In no other way could the utility of this quality be so happily emphasized. Godliness Is es sential for the highest success In the modem world, and the young cannot be made, to feel it too deeply. The Widow and the orphan will intrust their little all to a godly man much sooner than to one of the worldly-minded. He can glean In many rfch fields. Men in articulo mortis will appoint him trus tee of their estates; the simple will take his word In a bargain. Thus he. -may garner abundantly from the fields of the wicked and the unwary and multi Ply his power to glorify the Lord. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto ypu." Edifying and truly blessed is the spectacle of one who has availed himself of this promise, like Mr. Rocke feller and others; with the gold he has gathered from the unwilling hands, of the weak and the wicked he can pro mote the. cauae. of righteousness In all ' directions. He can endow academies and colleges; he caji confer benefactions. upon ie xoung -atens v;nrisuan Asso ciation; he can contribute richly to the preaching of the word. The godjy use which he makes of his wealth atones for all the, eccentricities In his meth- ods of acquiring it. Just as what would otherwise have "been crimes In Captain Kldd were excused by the fact that "his heart was true to PolL" The end Justifies the means. H can also consistently take a, -ptand for righteousness on public questions. He will support gdly. candidal for theJHy6naIty and other c-fficw; ke "will not countenance Sabbath-breaking ex cept Toy street-cars and by thtra solely to convey the Lord's people "to' and. from the sanctuary and by hotel bar- rooms- To the church he is a boon be yond value. His prayers rising to heaven mingle harmoniously with the sound of the golden harps. He makes the church respectable, giving It an air of cultured leisure vastly more pleasing to the Lord than the presence, and smell, of the maimed, halt and blind. These are some of the qualities of the spirit which an occupant of a chalc in the local ball of fame should possess. Are there any men of such exalted ex cellence among -us? Sodom had one, but he fled away, leaving his wife be hind. If Portland has one, let us all pray that he may not flee, but remain with us and inspire us by his example to lead better lives. CKISIS FOR CENTRAL OREGON. The retirement of President Lytle from the Columbia Southern and the sale of the road to the Harrlman lines is a matter of regret which can only be softened by a change of policy on the Part of the new owners of the prop erty. Mr. Lytle, in the. face of odds which would have discouraged a less energetic man, pushed the Columbia Southern to Its present terminus and blazed a trail to Central Oregon. The building of that road into a country generally regarded as next to worthless was ridiculed by men who stood higher than Lytle In the railroad world, and naught but failure was predicted for the scheme. But the excellent Judg ment of Mr. Lytle was vindicated, and a new trade field partially opened for Portland. A big stream of traffic poured out of the field as soon as railroad facilities were provided, but great as this traffic has become, it Is much smaller than that which will come Into existence with the extension of the road to the vast timber and grain belt of Central Oregon. No man knows the possibili ties of that country better than Lytle, and it is the possession of that knowl edge that has made him so desirous of extending the line through to the southern part of the state. If he had turned over to the Harrl man Interests with his road some of the enterprise, which enabled him to score a success where naught but failure was predicted, all woud yet be well In Cen tral Oregon. If, on the contrary, Mr. Harrlman decides to continue working one lone pocket or velnlnstead of open ing up for exploitation the main lode of this great mine, Oregon will -be a dis tinct loser by Mr. Lytle's retirement from the road. THE FOURTEEN LEBANON MERRY MAKERS. Fourteen citizens of Lebanon, de scribed as "among the most responsible and. prominent residents of Linn Coun ty," are under arrest because some of their neighbors think they have no right to assemble and enjoy themselves by taking a drink or two In a "dry' precinct' The. fourteen were found to gether behind closed doors and were bagged together. This large number shows the surprising popularity of the resort where these responsible and prominent citizens were entertaining themselves, and It shows, too, that there Is an emphatic division, of opinion in Lebanon as to the Justice and effi cacy of the so-called local opfton law. The Lebanon Social Union was the name of the "club," and the citizens were all. "members." No doubt there are others who occasionally dropped In to see what the occasion and the place had to offer in the way of entertain inent and refreshment. Divested of all disguise, the Lebanon Social Union Is a co-operative saloon. Its primary purpose is to defeat a med dlesome statute which seeks to declare that a man's neighbor, and not himself. may say what his personal conduct shall be, and that no man shall be per mitted to attend to his own business or regulate and control his own affairs The law says in substance that liquor shall not -be sold. The Lebanon Social Union says that a man may drink his own liquor. Any one has a clear con stitutional right to do what he pleases with his own so long as he preserves the peace and Interferes with no other: and it would thus seem to be up to the Municipal Association, or Lebanon Blue RIbboners, or whatever they call them selves, to prove that the fourteen prom inent and responsible citizen? have Hed and that the liquor is, or was, not theirs, but "Steward" Andrew Jen nlngs'. There be merry times in store for the harmonious Linn County, com munlty; but it may be hoped that as a consequence a great constitutional question will be solved, whereby any one may get drunk peaceably or stay sober noisily, as the case may be. FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE OF TILE WEST. "Contrary to wht has ben expect ed, there is still very little demand for crop-moving money," says a "Wash lngton special to the New York Jour nal of Commerce. Similar observations have been made by Eastern financial papers for the past month, and yet the crops have begun o move, and the "West seems able to supply all funds necessary for handling them. Until a short time ago the "West had been so largely dependent on the Eastern fin an clal Institutions, whenever it was neces sary to finance any large undertaking, that the East had begun to. regard this demand for crop moving as a fixed event which could be depended on to appear simultaneously with harvest time. There is, of course, some of this demand for money still noticeable in the Middle "West and Northwest, where two years of unsatisfactory crops have 8omewJbat Impaired the resources of the farmers; but in the Far West, and especially in the Pacific Northwest. there will be. no special demand for croo-movlnsr money. A dispatch in Sunday's Oretronlan gave derails of the, organization of a bank at Colfax, "Wash., with a capital of J100.000, 70 per cent of which was subscribedoy the farmers. This is per ha.ps th.e, npst Important transaction p( mis nature int oas. yet peejn, men; tioned." but tWefVlg. T?at, capps and high price of thjj pasj. few. year.? have placed hundreds of farmers hi Oregon! "Washington and Idaho in the position of directors, stockholders or depositors In healthy, well-managed .banks wh,lch have plenty of moriew to loan to the less fortunate farmers for crop-moving purposes. The best feature of this easy-money situation is In the fact that it is not confined to one Industry or one local Ity in the great Pacific Northwest The, millions which the Alaska mines hay poured Into Seattle and other Pncet Souad ciUw save wifvtd ut hundreds 9i wortxagM whiok. formerly m&dt suck a heavy drain 'on the very life-; blood of the Pugt Sound country, and much of the X as tern money thus re leased was diverted into other channel where it was useful In creating more new wealth. The Portland sawmills are turning out more than $10,000 worth of lumber every twenty-four hours, and dozens of other mils In near-by terri tory are making proportionately good showings. All of this new wealth Is trickling through a score of channels and arteries, and aiding In building up the available supply of funds which may ie needed for moving the crops. Even with a partial crop failure. which is a remote contingency, the Pa cific Northwest will never again be de pendent on the East for financial as sistance to such a large ex'tent as It has been In the past. The accumula tion pf wealth is a much easier matter In this new country than It Is In the older-settled states east of the Rocky Mountains, where the struggle for either wealth or a bare existence is much more intense than It Is In the sparsely settled "West. There are. of course, plenty of opportunities for em ployment of Eastern capital in the de velopment of new business, and this capital will be welcomed and can earn handsome dividends; but It is no longer necessary for the "West to approach the East in humble attitude and ask for money for "crop-moving" or for any other purpose connected with the trans action of business already established. NOTABLE NEWS SERVICE. For nearly a month the attention of the world has been centered on the con ference at Portsmouth. Universal in terest in this meeting of envoys went deeper than the battles of Mukden and the Sea of Japan. Every nation watched every movement. The agency that sup piled the world from hour to hour with news of peace negotiations was the Associated Press. No thoughtful reader of The Oregonlan can have failed to note the thoroughness of Its reports, the absolute truthfulness of every state ment It sent out. the calm. Judicial tone employed by its corps of corre spondents, the dignity that marked every dispatch. No great event in the world's history was ever more fully and accurately reported. Not only was every act at Portsmouth recorded and transmitted at once to the furthermost ends of the. earth, but through the same agency there was carried the views of Inter ested nations' rulers. The Associated Press kept in closest touch with the thrones of Russia, Japan, England and Germany, as well as wlthN President Roosevelt Not a thing which bore on the question of peace was overlooked. "Within an hour after any movement the world knew it through the Assoc! ated Press, and, now that peace is all but proclaimed, we know every step that led to It This service is without a parallel. "Ten years ago, when I was invited to assist in making peace between China and Japan, I noticed that Japan was happier over it than the Chinese themselves," says John W. Foster, dip lomat. The fact that China was re quired to pay Japan a large sum of money, and make other concessions. may possibly have had something to. do with it It seems to be expected that the Japanese people will not view the Portsmouth settlement with satis faction, possibly because the Japanese have lately had throgs pretty much all their own way; but inasmuch as his serene, renowned and honorable maj esty himself told the Japanese, pi en I potentlaries what to do. and it Is the Japanese fashion to ascribe all victories to the Illustrious virtues of their Era peror, it would seem but fair that his obliging subjects take the same pleas ing view of this Portsmouth business, Nodoubt they will. The September option in the Chicago wheat market dropped to 77 cents yesterday, a decline of more than 16 cents per bushel from the high point reached in July. The Liverpool market Is also steadily dropping away from the fairly high figures which were scored early In the season. "With a big crop of wheat In the grain fields east of the Rocky Mountains, there 13 no prospect for any Eastern rail business such as made high prices for the Ore gon and Washington farmers last sea son. In spite of the decline in Chicago, that market has not yet reached an export basis, and If the Liverpool mar ket should continue to weaken, the great American wheat crop must neces sarily sell for lower prices. The inex orable law qf supply and demand is sometimes balkedInj- operation, but it can neve.r be ignored for more than a brief period. Emery McGlnnls, a prominent busi ness man of Belllngham, Wash., is the first mistaken-for-a-deer victim of the season. These tragedies are always distressing, but this one, which opens the season In the Pacific Northwest, is doubly so from the fact that the slayer was a son of the victim. The young man is, of course, to be pitied, and will suffer a lifelong sorrow over the trag edy. This, however, will not prevent some other careless hunter from blaz ing away at "something moving iri the brush," and as the season advances these tales Qf bunting accidents will he more numerous than those, of any other kind of killings. An Illinois speculator who swindled widows and orphans out of $100,00d -was yesterday sent to the penitentiary.

He had knocked Joe. down, walked on his quivering carcass, danced a Jig on his left shin and other wise used him up. The whole village was gathered to witness the fracas. Finally Shorty paused for breath, and Long Joe laboriously got up and sat blinking and blubbering. "Nufft" he spluttered. "All right" said Shorty, "we'll come to terms. How much Indemnity you goln to pay me, Joe?" "Nary a kopek. Shorty." "You hain't? Well, then, I'll Jlst take it out o yer ornery hide; I'll" "Look out. Shorty 1" cried Long Joe.

In the Far Eastern village of New Tork. the other day, a man went up into the air attached to an airship. The village was stirred to Its foundations. Nothing so startling had taken place there since the race riots or the time when Mulvaney's goat butted the Mayor. It was the first airship evolution ever attempted in New York and the excitement was too much for the town. In the language of the new reporter. Intense excitement prevailed and the scene beggared description. The New York Times tried to describe It, and here Is a small portion of the attempt: He had not been up five minutes -when It seemed to those on the tower of the Time: building that none but invalids and cradled babies could have remained Indoors In the Borough of Manhattan.

Chicago Tribune. In a circular Just sent to all the promi nent physicians of New York under the seal of professional secrecy, the announce ment is made by the Isew York Post Graduate Hospital of the discovery of a egctable Quid which has been accented as a positive euro for consumption. Most of the vegetables in market enter into the composition of the fluid. The circu lar to the profession thus describes the method of preparing it: Equal parts by weight of raw vege tables scrubbed with a brush in fresh water, then mixed and chopped until the particles are small enough to go into the receiver of a grinding machine, where the mass is reduced to a pulp. From the pulp are collected the Juices, which are squeezed out through a coarse muslin cloth. The machines are designed to tear and grind the mass" rather than to cut It up.

Summer squash, tomato, spin ach, radishes, string beans and green peas with the pods. This Juice is prepared every day at the hospital and kept on ice.

This is Seattle week at the Lewis and Clark Exposition In Portland. A3 many Seattle people as possible, all who can, should go to Portland this week, If only to show their appreciation of the great, the splendid, the successful work that our neighbor citizens have accomplished this year, not only for themselves, but for Puget Sound and Seattle, and for the entire Pacific Coast, from San Francisco to Victoria. Sanguine as the expectations 'of many Coast residents wero regarding the suc cess of the Fair, they" have been more than fully realized by the magnificent re sult. Strangers from every part of the world, not from the United States alone, have visited the Coast from one end to the other and have been educated and en lightened as to the character, the climate, the wealth and tne resources of the Pa cific Slope. They were led hither by the strenuous, persistent and effective efforts of the men, the city and the state that 'vtn o conspicuous an evidence of Western energy and such testimony to Western ability; by the people of Portland and Oregon. Seattle is glad to have been able to lend a helping hand to bring about this result, and' Its citizens should be pleased to show by their presence tills week how deeply Interested they have been and are. From tho inception of the Exposition it has had the sincere, the strenuous and the consistent support of the Puget Sound cities and of the State of Washington. In season and out of season, until the Fair became an accomplished fact. The press of this state urged continually that the Fair should be held. Our delegation in Congress gave loyal and upstlnted aid to secure Federal legislation favorable to the Fair. Tho people of this; state appropri ated a large sum of money for the rep resentation of the state by a creditable building and for an exhibition of the products of this state. The counties and cities have supplemented this. Whether the work and aid thus lent have been sat isfactory to Portland or pot. It is for that city to say. Disagreeable rumors have reached bs city to the effect that some Portland people think that Seattle and the Puget Sound cities have either been Indifferent to or opposed to the Fair. Such an Impression Is purely Imaginative. So far from Seattle having been opposed to the Fair being so, this city has done everything that It could to aid In its suc cess; because every Intelligent man here knows that" the more visitors' go to Port land the more cbme" here, lo our mutual ad vintage and profit." Scattlp ghould do everything that it can tM3"wevkf& dlss'lpafe any Impffirslon of thVkln'd. If It exIstsV ' Sound Chinese "Logic. (Exchange.)

"All right," said the Admiral. Then he added: T suppose you will put a lot of food and sweetmeats on his grave, as they do ia China?" "Allee same China," Chow replied. "How.

CONSUMPTION CURE cures In every Instance. Eleven patients who, on beginning the treatment, wero sufferers from the disease, have been dis charged as fit subjects for a life Insurance risk, and 60 others still under observation at the hospital are on the high road to recoven-. It is believed, moreover, that this may lead to means by which everybody may be rendered lmmuno from the deadly tu bercle bacilli. Just as vaccination safe guards from smallpox. It Is expected the Post Graduate Hospital will advocate that the fluid eventually be bottled and placed "on tap" at stations throughout the city and In drugstores at soda water fountains. The vegetable Juice has been in use at the post-graduate hospital's annex for the treatment of consumption since January 7 of this year. Betwen January 7 and June 20 the records show that eleven pa tients have been discharged as cured after being examined by a specially se lected board of specialists, none of whom Is Interested In the experiments. The greatest number of cures ever ef fected by the hospital in a year was thir teen. In other words, almost as mani cures have been made in a little more than five months under the vegetable Juice treatment as under the old method were made In a year. This represents a leap of 100 per cent in the proportion of successful cases. The report which the hospital authori ties are circulating among the physicians is the one submitted to the executive committee by Dr. John F. RusU, who has had charge of the tuberculosis claas In the dispensary since Its Inception in 1593. The vegetable compound 13 Dr. Rus sell's discovery- Notwithstanding the substantial nature of the tests to which it has been put. he will commit himself only in the most modest claims to his discovery. "I am convinced," he says, "the vege table fluid Is a valuable addition to the diet, but feel that six months' observa tion la not a sufficient period of observa tion to Justify me In speaking positively of Its full value. As an investigator merely. It would be more agreeable to wait until the end of the year, but I do not feel Justified In withholding longer on account of Its use In these experiments, because the results .so far are so favor able. The number of persons suffering with pulmonary tuberculosis Is so enor mous and the need for relief la so press ing." The principle upon which Dr. Russell's treatment of consumption Is based Is that this dread disease primarily Is due to malnutrition, which is to say. the con sumptive's body does not absorb the ele ments of food it needs to create normal blood. The problem of weight-gaining having been solved already. It remained neces sary to And some food which would re store the blood to Its highest efficiency, and It Is believed the vegetable juices will do this. Dr. Donald M. Barstow and Dr. Thomas VT. Blckerton, who were appointed a committee by the hospital authorities to observe and report on Dr. Russell's ex periments, were much Impressed with the results obtained from the new diet The treatment still Is In an experi mental stage." said one of the commit tee, "and Is not accepted as a positive cure for consumption, but I will say that I am much pleased and surprised by the results obtained. They are better than I supposed possible in pulmonary disease under the existing conditions of life in this city. The new remedy does not work a cure In every Instance, but It at least Is good food and may work a complete revolution In the treatment of the disease, although I hardly expect that to happen. The extent and certainty of the cure de pend upon the progress of the disease. The new cure can heal up a wounded lung or cause it to heal, but it cannot make new lung tissue. The only posi tively incurable case arA thnn TuVilot. have been allowed to go without treat ment too long. If people would only get the Idea that consumption Is curable and not dodge the Issue and pretend they only have a hard cold or catarrh, thev t,u 10 a. aoctor at once for a cure, and nearly all could probably be saved." According to a member of the Investi gating committee, the entire treatment costs about J6 a -week In addition to tho usual cost of living. DOWNFALLOF ADDICKS. Washington Post. According to apparently trustworthy re ports from Delaware, the 17-year fight of J. Edward Addlcks is at an end. He is no nearer the United States Pna he was at first, and he cannot keep up the usni, as nis only argument money Is lacking. The best accounts are tn th effect that Addlcks' supporters are drop ping- away irom him as iron filings drop irom a magnet when the current Is turned off. The attraction of gold is lacking. The routing of Addlcks marks the end of one of the most interesting campaigns in American Dolitics. It out test, from first to last, of corruption against decency for the highest office In Delaware. Addlcks was never regarded, even by his frlendi. as a fit man to suc- kcu m rcii. euus 04 ueiaware in tne United States Senate. His sole strength was money. So long as his money lasted he employed It with . tenacity of purpose that made him notorious. Such persist ence In a better cause -wontrf havn a.-nn him fame. His tireless quest of the Sena- torsbip. in view of tht methods he em ployed, made a nuisance of a homely vir tue. If It be true that his eclipse is filial, a sigh of relief will go up from many states where men of the Addlcks stamp had taken heart from his astonishing per tinacity. The 3ran Left Behind.

Alas, the time for his departure ar rived, for. be It knpwn. the Man was the best-paid employe In a large establish ment and also subject to Its rules.
