The proposed advance In insurance rates In the business centers of all of the great cities to enable the insurance companies to recuperate for their losses at San Francisco Is unfair and unjust. It is a well-taiown fact that fire Insurance on the Pacific Coast has always been a highly remunerative business, which has returned large profits to those engaged In It. Rates have been very high and losses until this time comparatively small. When the premium-paying public objected to the excessive rates, the objection was always met with the explanation that they were necessary to provide a sur plus fund to take care of abnormal losses which were liable to occur.

Here Is a neat compliment that will make Oregonlans feel kindly toward the enterprise which the Gopher State Is the Democratic interest, helps along powerfully tlie Democratic cause. Wc have no great fault to find with the Governor for his administration of state affair?, though we think It Is not better, nor -woree. than the average.

At the same time one can not help but feel that -Minnesota has set herself a difficult task a task too great for a people less enterprising than those who live around the headwaters of the Mississippi." The special purpose of the exposition will be to celebrate In 108 the semi-centennial of the admls sion of the State of Minnesota to the Union. The State Fair Commission has decided to ask for a state approprla tlon of $500,000 and believes that $200,000 can be added to this by private sub scrlptlons from citizens of the Twin cities. Should the exposition be held, as planned. Oregon will undoubtedly be there -with an exhibit that will be an effective reminder of the beauty and excellence of the Lewis and Clark Fair, which so many Mlnnesotans visited.

This much by way of introduction to consideration of an address delivered last night by Governor Chamberlain In opening his campaign for re-election. The substance of the Governor s ad' dress is printed elsewhere In this paper and is entitled to full and fnir consld eratlon from all voters. In it Mr. Chamberlain sets forth the policies he has. advocated and will advocate, and the Tesults he claims to have accom pllshed during three years of his In cumbency. Having ?erved as chief executive of tho state for the greater portion of one term,' he has a record that Is open for discussion and he is entitled to all the advantage he can gettout of It. If the people of Oregon want him for Governor another four years It is their .privilege to elect him.

The Japanese war. with Its fearful train of disasters, cost Russia much In blood, treasure and prestige, and, when this was followed by revolution at home, before which the hated autocracy went down with a rush, the Czar was weak, tame and ready for peace. But with tho Little Father It seems to have been another ! cape of "When the devil was sick, the devil a monk would be. When the devil was well, the deil a monk was he." Feeling "cocky" over possession of the millions brought in by the big loan,- and believing that this money and credit brought with them security In any policy which he might pursue. the Czar has practically refused to abide by his promises for reform, and all the sane and sober efforts of men of the Witte class to form a new sys tem of government have been nullified.

Buildings and contents burned like paper, and from them fled fright- crazed yellow men carrying their chll dren. moneybags or such of their stock In trade as they could seize as they ran, and grotesque-looking women, some of whom hobbled painfully.
