The New York Legislature hAs just au thorized its much-discussed bond issue of Jo0.pi0.000 for the Improvement of state highways, an enterprise for which the Kirst Assistant Fostmaster tieneral has been co-operating with the state officials for the last two ears. In Massachusetts a system for support of state hirhways. by special revenues, has long been In use; and the Legislature has just passed & bill providing for a, special diversion of 5 per cent from the appropriation for state highways to help those districts which are least able to help them selves: with still further considera tion to those that mak spoclal effort in their own behalf. We cannot yet imitate this policy in Oregon, where population is sparse, d'.stsmces great and taxable values yet liiuiteai; but we may do so at a later day. Rural mail delivery will everywhere be a constant help or Incentive to im provement of tha country roads: and the day may com when the automo bile may accumulate a balance of good will In its favor, on the aame account. There is a possibility that Sir t7il frid Laurier used the wrong dream book before he made that "sup pressed" war speech a short time ago. 1: would require quite a wide stretch tf the Imagination to predict any con flict in which England would be found in an alliance with Japan against the I'nited S-ates. lr would not. however, be very difficult to imagine what would take place in Sir Wilfrid's particular bailiwick in stu h an event.

THB IDI.K RICH. In some recent remarks President Roosevelt classed the idle rich and the hobo together. Roth of them, he said, were useless to the world and one was about as undesirable as the other. The New York .World takes exception to his judgment, and in doing so utters some peculiarly "Worldly" doctrines upon political economy. It thinks that while the millionaires are wast ing their wealth they are at least out of mischief, and rather advises the President to let sleeping dogs lie. "They are distributing their money." says the World. This sounds a little more fascinating than U reaily 1a. What the idle rich distribute, and waste in the distribution, ts not their capital, but the income from it. And that income is produced by a multi tude of people whiise- lives are thus da-voted to the support of the rich idler in his luxury and prodigality. We submit that the lives of these peo ple might be better employed. As for the indolent millionaire himself, let htm go his waTt with our benediction. Vh by what right does he keep a donen or a hundred other men busy supplying material for him to squan der? To be sure, he pays them for their work, but other people would pay them if their work were directed to useful ends. The truth is that the Idle rich man diverts a vast quantity of human en ergy from useful tasks and sets it at work ministering to his pleasures. His pleasures are too dear at that price. Let him he as idle as he likes, let him waste his capital if he wishes. Rut President Roosevelt certainly seems to be justified in wishing to de prive him of the power tat make other men the eonseiams air uncatnscious min isters to his luxury anal vice. The World should learn that wasted wealth is not so benetlclal to Sa-vclety as that which is consumed praiductlvely. The truth is an old one. but it takes some newspapers a long time to mas ter if. Y.4I.VB OK THK HORSK SHAW. lcal horse shows, such as those re cently held in Willamette Valley t.iwns. are chiefly valuable because of the interest they araiuse among farm ers. No hairseowner with a spark of pride, appreciation of beauty or un derstanding of value could witness a parade aif the best hairses In the Wil lamette Valley without feeling a strong desire to possoss stocV of a little bet ter grad than the horses he already drives. Xo Intelligent and observing man coulal witness such a atlsplay of hairses without thereby becoming a little better judge of what constitutes a good draft or driving horse. The horse show is therefore a means of education and a source of inspiration. It will be protluetive of valuable re sults to the horsebreedlng Industry of Western Oregon. Horseraising, like poultry-keeping, will always be an adjunct of general farming operations. While a few men may make a success of horsebreedlng as a separate and distinct occupation, they can do so only if they produce stock for sale at high prices for breed ing purpatsos. The man what raises the draft horses for sale to the gen eral buyer for work purposes cannot hope to secure prices that will warrant his keeping mares that yield no return except the colts. The farmer who has work on the farm for his mares through the season aif farm work, and what gets Caialts besiates. can m3ke a good profit raising horses for sale at Slot) to $1100 at two to three years old. The conclusion to be drawn is plain. The farmer who must keep a team for the seeding, cultivation and har vesting of his crops should make it a paiint to keep mares, ami gaiod ones. Whether he be a grain farmer, a hop grower, an orchardist or a dairyman, he can do ail his farm work with a team of mares and get a pair of colts after the wcirk season is over. F-y adaiptlon of this policy the farmers of Willamette Valley will increase their own profits and materially Improve the livestock conditions of this unsur passed livystaick region. TH.IAMOOKS KAXOTCAP. The Oregonian continues to receive letters of protest against the unsatis factory transpfirtation service between this city and Tillamook. Since the extension of the Elmore's route to Partiand there has. of course, been some improvement in the condition In which -freight has been received by the Tillamook merchants, but the same old charges of high rates and discriminatiain are still coming to hand. "If Portland wants to hold the trade of Ti'.iamoaik County until the railroad is finished." writes a promi nent merchant, "the business men of Portland must encourage the putting on of an opposition boat." This let ter mentions among other grievances that merchants have had to pay as much aa J 7.4! for 500 pounds of freight from Portland, or at the rate of 130 per ton. It is also charged that freight re ceived by the steamship company last October did not reach Tillamook until March. But even the exorbitant rates exacteai have no stability, according to the Tillamook people, and a freight tariff on which goods may be sola! one trip is not infrequently advanced 50 per cent on the next trip of the steamer. The impossibility of doing anything like a satisfactory business nnder such circumstances can only in a measure be understood by mer chants more fortunately situated. Some excuse may be offered for the Irregularity of the trips In the Winter time, when heavy weather disar ranges schedules: but even in the Summer time, when rough 'bars are seldom encountered, there has been no material Improvement in the service. Perhaps the strongest arraignment that can be made against the present unsatisfactory service is the fact tha; in the dozen years in which the own ers of the Elmore have enjoyed a monopoly on the route, Tillamook, in spite of its wonderful resources, has been unable to show a gTowth in keeping with other Oregon cities. During that long period of poor serv ice many people have been lured into the country by these wonderful re sources only to leave in disgust after a few months' experience witlj the woe fully inadaaqume transportation facili ties. In no other locality, except Oam tral Oregain. has there been so slow a growth in comparison with other parts of the state. The standing excuse put forward by the owners of the one lone hAat that has served this territory so many years is that the business is unprollt able and will not warrant a better service.. Anal yet every effort that has been made to establish an opposition line has been met with a drastic cut In rates and a fierce fight for retention of the ntainopoly. It will be a arrest day fir Tillamook and also for Portland when the completion of the railroad will release that rich country from the commercial bondage in which It Is held. Meanwhile It Is to the interest' af the Portland merchants tai aid in every manner paissible tn the Improve ment of the service by the encourage ment of oppaisltiatn. AN rNJI-ST PISCRIMIVATION. About five years ago, when the In ternational Sailing-Ship Owners" Union levied a ditTorential of 30 cents per ton on freights against Portland and in favor of Ptiget aoonnil, this- port was handling about two-thirds of the wheat business of the Pacific North west. In the three years following es tablishment of this ditTorential. condi tions were reversed anal Puset Sotintt shipped nearly two-thirds of the wheal. Then Portland woke up, and, after nearly a year of patient effort, succeeded in removing the einhargvi. Rut we have not yet .regained all of the traalc lost while the differential ws in force. It i coming back grad inlly. and with the coming of the North Rank road we shoulal soon be again In communal of the 'situation. I'nfortunateVv, at this time we are confronted by another differential which is in a fair way to damage the port fully as much tvs the troublesome freight differential. There Is a dif ference of 33 per cent, against Port land and in favor of Puget Sound, tn grainhandlers' wages, anal, regardless of the approach of a crisis which will be precipitated by completion of the Harriman linas to Puget Sound, an ef fort is being made in certain quarters to perpetuate this differential. .s the wheat-exporting business Is handled by the sajne firms in both ports, it is, of course, unreasainable tai expect them to pay 40 cents per hour for grain handlers In Portland when they may have the same labor performed In Ta caima and Seattle for 30 cents per hour. Naturally, the effect of continu ation of this differential will be diver sion to Taooma and Saiattle of an im mense amount of Wheat which other wise would be put afloat at Pairtlanat. The O. R. X. Co. ha-s assumed the burden of free bar pilotage to meet the same conditions on Puget Sound. The Pacific Brldgt Company has agreed for one year to fiandle ballast free of charge to the ship, to meet the same conditions on Puget Sound, and the Port of Portland is spending about j;S0.ti0O per year to keep a channel to the sea that will admit of giving ves sels as good dispatch as they receive on Puget Sound. It now appears that there la one more ' differential that must be taken care of. The exporters, regarding the matter strictly from a business standpoint. . of course have less interest than any one else in re-' moving this 15 per cent handicap against the port, for It Is to a con siderable extent a matter of indiffer ence whether they ship from Portland or from Taooma. They can force the railroad to de liver the wheat wherever they order, the ship. Put the shipping brings with it considerable money as well as prestige for the port, and, when we drive It away by making the port more expensive than those ports with which we come In competition, there is a loss not only to the men who actually per form the work of loading and unload ing the ships, but to the community as a whaile. The Issue Is plain, and it must be met as other issues in which the welfare of the port was involved have been met by placing the port on an even basis with the ports with which we are in competition. rR. JORDAVS rjKA. Although Lir. Oavid Starr Jordan gives fair warning that his plans for transforming the scat of learning at Palo Alto into a genuine university are only tentative, still they are Important. They Indicate a trend In the educa tional eTort of this country which we believe to be wholly desirable. As dis tinguished from a caillege. a unlversity is a school where professional instruc tion of all sorts can be obtained. Xetther a law school nor a medical school is In Itself a university, but both are necessary parts of such an institution. It must include also de partments where one may. learn all there is to know about Greek, Latin, cuneirbrm inscriptions, compartlve re ligion, and so forth, and. besides that, prepare himself to teach those sub jects and extend the bounds of knowl edge in them. The scope of the uni versity includes the acquisition of knowledge and the mastery of practi cal power. It is a trade school on a mammoth scale, though the trades it deals with are those in wjiich the brain is concerned a great deal more than the hand. Still -he university teaches hand work of incomparable delicacy when it trains a chemist for his experiments or an astronomer to trace on paper the revelations of his telescope. The college, on the other hand, is not in any sense of the word a professional school. When limited to its proper function it does not prepare stndents for active life and makes no pretense of doing so. The habitual language of college graduates on commence ment day that they are "now ready to begin the battle of life" iB absurd. If the college has done by them as it ought, they are very far from being fit for the battle, as they call if. They have acquired a gTeat deal of general ized information, a certain amount of culture which fits them to live in civil ized society, they have become more or less familiar with great thoughts and noble deeds: but they have not mas tered a trade, they have not learned a profession. They are as destitute of practical aptitude as they were the day they matriculated. And so they ought to be. People do not go to college to fit themselves for the struggle of life, but to participate in the good things that have been created by the struggles of others. The college is emphatically the school of adolescence. -Its term should run from about the sixteenth to the twentieth year of life. The stu dent should not be expected to know a great deal when he enters, and he should not be persuaded to devote himself exclusively to a specialty while he Is there. The function of the col lege Is tai turn raw youths Into edu cated men and women. When It Is done with them, when they are licked into shape so far as may be. then the university should take them and train them for the "battle of life." That-Is. it should teach them how to make themselves useful in some way, the particular way is natt of much conse quence. It may make siime man a master of electricity anal some woman a mistress of differential equations, like Sophia Kowalewsky. Roth results are admirable, but neither one of them is suitable for a college to think of Imitating. We have had one or two attempts In this country to found a university dis tinct from a college. Johns Hopkins in Baltimore was at first Indifferent to caillege students. It tolerated them but did not desire them. Or. Oil man's purpose at the outset was to establish a genuine university where professional work of the highest character should be done, and Utile else. Rut lack of funds and other causes somewhat marred the progress of his plan, and today the college or "undorgratiuate" idea Is paramount, perhaps, at the ramous Baltimore school. When Clarke I'ntverslty was founded, no college students were ad mitted. President Hall determined that all the fund, and energy of the ftmiidatlain shoulal be expanded upon "graduate" or profossional work; hut hia purpose was presently Interfered with by a board of trustees who cared more for paipularlty and less fair edu cation than he did. Clarke University now has its undergraduate depart ment, very much tho same as our other mongrel schools. It is neither fish, flesh nor fowl, and, like all the others, has many of the faults of the three, wlih loss of tho merits of any than one could wish. There Is no university in the United Slates, though there are plenty of schools which min gle university, high school and college work. Dr. Jordan's scheme is to sep arate the three distinct species of ed ucational effort and confine each to its proper period of life, its proper aim and method. Ho would also provide that each gratlo of school should have its proper government and dis cipline. He is entirely right In saying that the discipline of a university Is un sultetl to a college: anal where the same Institution Includes both gmdes of students, neither class can be dealt with on sound principles. University students shauld enjoy the considera tion, liberty and respect of men. Col lege students ' are" neither boys and" girls uor are they men and women. They are partly mature and partly chilalren. They require peculiar dis cipline. They must be managed with peculiar wisdom. The university taacher should be a person of special ised learning. The college teacher should posses general, not special, culture, and his character is of a great deal more importance than the amount of his knowledge. Dr. Jordan's plan Is af Immeasurable importanyo to our educational interests. What there is in it can only be hinted nt here, but it may mark the beginning of an epoch. The retirement from Congress of Representative Ljltletield, of Maine, will be a haral blow on the ship sub sidy forces. Littlcfield, coming from a region where in the old days of tho wooden vessels shipbuilding was the leading Industry, was much better in formed on the subject than any of his colleagues. This knowledge enabled him to steer clear of many of the pit falls of ignorance in which Humphrey, Galllngcr and other subsidy boosters have fallen and still further weakened an already weak cause. Mr. Littlcfield pleaaied eloquently for a ship substdy for the same reason Uiat the Pennsyl vania representatives plead for reten tion of the present high tariff on steel and iron products. Similar consist ency is noticeable among the Southern Senators and Representatives when ever there is talk of reducing the tariff on sugar anal tobai'co. A Philadelphia boy who was arrest ed for burglaries has confessed, and says that three or four policemen helped him in his operations. This is not at all surprising, since the boy and the policemen had before them the example of eminent officials at the state capital who Joined with contract ors to rob the state out of millions of dollars by means of Statehouse con tracts. It would be only fair to give the boy a sentence bearing the same ratio to the sentence of the capitol robbers that the amount of his thefts does to the peculations of the larger gang. And he ought not begin serv ing his term In prison until the greater criminals begin serving theirs. What reason have the Title Guaran tee Trust Company officials to be lieve that they will find a more favor able jury in Marion County than in Multnomah. Didn't the people of Marlon lose their savings in a bank mismanaged by a man who made great pretensions to religion, and who, though declaring that his bank was solvent, never paid his depositors more than 35 cents on the dollar? But of course men who made this contri bution of 65 cents on the dollar to the banker would not be eligible for serv ice on the Title Guarantee & Trust Jury. Before being too severe in censure of the police department for not cap turing the delegation of highwaymen who held up a grocery store in a, prominent part of the city Saturday night, it should be remembered that the department was covering; itself with glory about that time by break ing up a pinochle ame between two strangers in the city, who were un aware that the two-bit stake for which they were playing brought their recre ation under the ban of the law. Wneat suffered a 2-cent break in Chicago yesterday, and the July option closed at the lowest point of the rea son. Where, oh where, is the Ameri can Society of Equity? It would seem from the depths into which the prlte Is sinking that a little "night riding" was in order in the wheat belt as well as in the tobacco districts. It is remarked by visitors at the' horse shows that the colts show up better than most of their sires. That is not at" all surprising, for the sires are imported animals while the colts were raised in a state possessing an ideal climate for livestock production. As a possible balm to sore spirits, be it remembered that in the champion ship year Portland lost the first five games straight, F.I.ECT orncEns Will Vote for Xn Candidate Vnfavoi- able to Soliifrs.

(CrttivrtH-tit, tuns i POHTI.An AWn TILLAMOOK THinr, I.otid Complaint About Methods of Ps elAe sjaviaraa-tnai CnmpMny. TPT.T.A MOOK. Or, April 5. (To Ihe Edi tor.) If Portland wants to hold the trade of Tillamook County until the railroad is finished, the business men of Portland must encourage the putting on nf nn opposition hoat. The people of this county, almost to n man, are determined to bresk the "cinch" that Ssmuel El more and his confederate have had on this county for about nine years. The causes of complaint are almost too numerous to mention. I was shown freight bills today where a merchant paid 57.40 from Portland to Tlllnni.nik on fiOO pounds of freight or nearly J-'iO per ton. This was not perishable stuff. Another's freight bill was for freight received by the Farlllo Navigation Cmn panv on October -V 10O7, Rnd delivered In Tillamook In March. 101S. When I asked these men If they put In com plaint, they both told me .they did not dare to do so, for if they did they would be discriminated against In every way that A mean company could conceive of. Their freight, would be left behind: It would be very much overcharged: and would come In a damaged condition; then they had no recourse. So all they could do was to smile end look pleasant. There is A very general complaint against the agent of the Pacific Navigation at Tillamook City. He is said to be very coarse, vulgar and lin gentlemanly In his dealings with thn puhlle. One Instance came under my per sonal observation. A merchant nf Tilla mook lind a shipment of freight on the Elmore, plainly marked for him. He was very anxious for the freight and wns raariy to pay his freight hill, hut the agenj: had It In for him on account of some past offense he had committed In registering a "kick" against an over charge, anal simply because he could not produce a shipping receipt showing the goods had been shipped to him. he could not get his goods. Other merchants got their goods without producing a reeeipt, but this merchant needed to he disciplined. The motto of the Pacific Navigation Company seems to he "the public b'i d d." and "put on all the truffle will bear." and "if a man kicks, raise his rate": "leave his goods on the dork"; "treat the klaikers in an ungentlemanly manner." or anything else. No regular tariff Is maintained. One trip a certain class of merchandise is charged one rate, the next trip the same class of merchan dise is charged 50 per cent more for the. same service. In fact, the conditions are such that they are an abomination. No sense of Justice, fairness or right enters into the consideration of the Pacific Navigation Company, only Avarice, greed end vul garity, and the good people of this county are determined to get out from under tha yoke.
