miLAMETTE BRIDGES.
The bridge question presents sev
eral phases to the electors, all of
which should be carefully considered.
For renewal of the bridge at Madison
street bonds to the amount of $450,
000 have been sold, and the money
now is in the treasury of the city.
Construction is "held up." pending; an
appeal to the electors, which is to de
cide whether a majority would have
the bridge built there or the fund
transferred to the structure" proposed
at Market street. To vote aye on the
Market street project would mean
abandonment of the bridge at Madison
street and addition of J450. 000 more
to the bonded debt of the city ($900.
000 in all for this project) for the
purpose of erecting the bridge at
Market.
On study of the proposition, we
think the electors- will prefer to go
on with the Madison street undertak
ing. The carlines, the streets and the
general movement of the southeast
part of the city are adjusted to this
bridge. Hawthorne is a long and gen
eral thoroughfare, into which all
streets in that quarter of the city are
drawn. This thoroughfare is the
widest on the East Side, and is now
being improved at great cost. The
movement from the southeast part of
the city is towards the central West
Side, and Madison will accommodate
it better than Market. To reach Mar
ket, and pass over to the West Bide,
would cause a . reverse movement of
a considerable part of the traffic and
would cut It out of a direct East Side
thoroughfare. Besides, the addition of
$450,000 to the debt of the city is a
matter, unless there are good rea
sons for it, of a good deal of Import
ance at this time. Objection Is made
to the position of the draw of the old
bridge and its obliqueness to the cur
rent, but that can be remedied In re
construction. Again, It Is objected
that the street railway company, if
the bridge is rebuilt, will Insist on the
old contract, which pays too little to
the city for the use of the bridge. But
the company has offered compromise
on this point, which will materially
Increase the payment to the city. What
legal obstacles may arise in case the
transfer of the fund from one bridge to
another cannot, perhaps, be predicted,
but it is most likely that If the trans
fer is attempted the project will be
delayed by legal proceedings of one
kind or another till the Supreme
Court 'shall pass on the whole matter
at some distant time. Besides, it will
be necessary to obtain the consent of
the authorities of the United States,
and it is uncertain what obstacles
might arise here. On the whole. It
would seem better to go on with the
original undertaking for reconstruc
tion at Madison street.
A remaining South Portland project
Is presented by initiative petition for
a bridge from First and Sherman
streets on the" West Side to East
Sherman and Seventh on the East
Side, with authorization of bonds to
the amount of $1,500,000 for the pur
pose. Keeping In view the fact that
the stream of movement from the East
Side flows in one general direction to
wards the West Side center, this prop
osition at present seems premature.
The bridge at Madison will answer the
' general purpose for a considerable
time yet, and certainly there is no
pressing need now for bridges both at
Market and Sherman, nor even at
Market and Madison. At our present
stage of development the city needs
other things more. We must have
more. water supply. We must sell more
bonds to get money for improvement
of the river channels. The school dls
trivt. with our constantly Increasing
school population, must have more
money. And more money for parks.
So. while we spend here we must save
there. Economy Is not parsimony. It
is a distributive virtue.
In these matters it is general accom
modation of the public that should be
considered, the general welfare only.
No thought of benefit to the property
of any locality or of any group of in
dividuals, should be entertained for
a moment. The credit of the city be
longs to the whole city, not to a part
of it, still lejs to private Individuals In
it. It should be used only for large
general purposes, upon Judgment of
what- is best for the whole of course,
also with Judgment as to the parts in
their relation to the whole.
This leads to the conclusion that
the best thing In relation to the south
ern part of the city Is to rebuild the
Madison bridge. Bridge or bridges
further south may be considered later.
In the northern part of the city
there is a different situation. There is
no ready way for entrance of the
northeast into the West Side center.
The railroad bridge Is insufficient, and
Its location has no relation to the
growing northeast section of the city.
A bridge from the highland of the
East Side, say from Broadway or from
a street near that locality, carried
over the river at a suitable height, so
as to clear all river traffic but top
masts, and to clear also the railroad
yards on the West Side and lead di
rectly to the West Side center by one
street or another to Burnslde and
Washington, is a necessity. If we are
to vote for another bridge besides re
newal of the one at Madison street,
this bridge Is the one now- most re
quired. The greatest -development of
Portland, outside the business center.
Is sure, to be In that north and north
east direction, between the rivers.
This statement embodies the Judg
ment of The Oregonlan on the ques
tion of Willamette bridges as present
ed at this time. It Is submitted to the
Judgment of the iwnnu aI rn-. t .4
whose right and duty It La to consider
and deride. It Is suggested from the
standpoint of the general Interest, as
concerned with the situation at the
present time. The city can't do every
thing at once, of course. These, how
ever, are the things which, as It seems
to The Oregonlan. it should undertake)
now.
THE FRANf Hl-E KKt.KEMrt M.
Certainly, If the people most Inter
ested do not desire carlines extended
out on stub ends of streets or down on
the Peninsula to the vicinity of the
Swift plant, let therp use the referen
dum to arrest the so-called blanket
ordinance. But. If It shall be arretted,
who will suffer most Inconvenience by
it? Parts of the city that desire the
additional facilities or the streetcar
company that now has all the fran
chise that are worth having ami will
still hold them for twenty years?
People who want the accommoda
tions doubtless will vote "Xo" on the
referendum. Others not directly af
fected or concerned, will be Indiffer
ent. Still others whose main Idea is
to vote In such way as they hope will
obstruct the streetcar company or
withhold from It something It -wants
without Inquiry' whether It will be
good for the convenience of the clti
xens or not will vote "Yes."
The great street franchises of the
City of Portland were first given away
to a group of operators and proje-tors
and by them sold for a great sum of
money. The present holders cannot
be dispossessed till the end of the term
of these great franchises.' They occu
py the center of the city and no others
can get in. These little bits of stub
ends of streets, out In the suburbs,
could be used by no others with any
advantage. They may as well be
thrown In with the general enterprise
and used for accommodation of the
suburban portions till the termination
of the main .franchises for no com
pany, except this one. can use them,
either for its own profit or for accom
modation of the public.
However. If it be merely the pur
pose to "show the company that the
people have the power of veto." very
well. Put on the referendum kibosh.
H. H. BOCER.S, MILLIONAIRE.
H. H. Rogers, famous as one of the
leaders of what has been known on
the stock exchanges of every city in
the civilized world as the Standard Oil
crowd, died in New York yesterday.
Money-getting with Mr. Rogers, as
with his associates, was almost a ma
nia. As an exponent of the modern
art of High Finance ha was a past
master. The late C. P. Huntington
once boasted that his course through
life could not be traced by the dol
lars he had dropped, and for similar
reasons the trail left by Mr. Rogers
would not be very plain. Aside from
his matchless skill as an organizer,
and the ability to squeeze the last
possible dollar out of the people who
are obliged to burn oil. Mr. Rogers
will be best remembered for his fa
mous Virginia railroad, which was the
crowning work of his life.
One of Mr. Rogers' most pronounced
characteristics was his utter lack of
sentiment, and to this trait is due
much of the success of the great cor
poration the fortunes" of which were
bullded on the wrecks of comparing
concerns. The elimination of compe
tition. -regardless of the methods nec
essary to accomplish the end sought,
under the skillful guidance of Mr.
Rogers, became almost a fine art.
From his point of view there was
nothing objectionable or unfair In the
proceedings which gradually enabled
him and his associates to perfect the
most colossal and complete monopoly
the world ever saw. Regardless of his
biased Ideas of right and wrong as
generally understood by mankind,
there was very Utile deceit or decep
tion about Mr. Rogers. Vnllke some
of his associates, who garnished in
stocks and manipulated deals for the
stifling of legitimate and healthy
competition throughout the week, aad
led In prayer on Sunday. Mr. Rogers
was thoroughly consistent and re
mained as much of a financier on
Sunday as during the week.
His loss will be felt by his Stand
ard Oil associates, by the people of
Falrhaven, his birthplace, who have
been his beneficiaries, and by the
dwellers along the Virginia railroad,
an undertaking which was almost ex
clusively a Rogers enterprise. As a
commanding figure In the world of
finance Mr. Rogers made his mark,
but the wreck-strewn route over
which he rode to success will ever
prevent his memory from being hon
ored as the world honors that of tho
hero who has made life brighter and
happier for the humbler and less fa
vored class of God's creatures.
THE lOREHTRY DIH.tGRrj.aKNT.
The breach between Secretary Ball,
lnger and Chief Forester Plnchot
seems to be widening, and a settle
ment of their differences now rests
with the President. The trouble Is
said to have arisen over the failure of
the laws governing the forestry matter
properly to specify what could and
what could not be done by the Govern
ment In the matter oC withholding
public lands from settlement or pur
chase. That there should be a radical
difference of opinion between Mr.
Plnchot and Secretary Balllnger. Is
not surprising when the character of
the two men Is considered. Mr. Pln
chot is a very wealthy man who has
made a hobby of forest preservation.
With but little personal experience In
the practical side of the question, his
knowledge has been largelv theoreti
cal. In the Vdst forests of the great West,
he saw only the possibility for great
reserves which would ever remain un
disturbed by the hum of Industry. IJke
the feudal barons of old who razed
cities and towns In order that the land
they occupied could revert to Its nat
ural wild state. Mr. Plnchot was never
bothered with the practical features of
the subject. Secretary Balllnger. on
Ihe other hand. Is a poor man who
has spent the greater part of his life
on the frontier with other poor men
who were endeavoring to wrest from
nature the means of livelihood. To
him the vast forests of the West, many
of them having reached maturity and
being ready to decay and thus become
a total loss, represented cold hard
cash that was needed by the thousands
of settlers that were coming from the
crowded East.
These settlers also needed the land
on which these forests were- located.
They wished to grow ai.pl en. pears,
potatoes and other products, vastly
more useful and profitable than the
growing of pine cones. They needed
the water power to turn the wheels of
their gristmills, to produce light and
I power for tnetr developing Industries.
Secretary Balllnger haa lived and
I struggled among iht people, and he
Known wiut is meant ty Ihe greatest
good for the greatest number." The
difference between Mr. Plnchot and
Secretary Balllnger Is the difference
between the rich and finished East
and the poor and struggling Wwt. The
one grown rU h front the efforts of
that vanguard which fur a century
has been pushing farther and farther
Into the fa.tnr-fseji of the West, la now
ready to rail a hull for no other res
son than that further development
will mar the natural beauty of the
scene.
From the standpoint of the asthetlc
faddist, the Plnchot policy may be all
right, but for the busy, practical West
which has not yet accumulated evuti a
competence. It Is all wrong. President
Taft. being a good deal of a Western
man himself. wl!l undoubtedly defer
to the Judgment of the Western man
on this rxclurivrly Western trsue.

The people of Portland are unwill
ing to farm out the sale of liquors to
any association: therefore, will reject
by a vigorous vote the Initiative peti
tion for liquor franchise to the so
called Gothenburg Association.
The proposal la open to objection on
al! sides. Alike to prohibitionists and
to those who would allow llquora to
be sold under close or reasonable reg
ulations It is objectionable. Its sup
porters are devotees of a theory Im
practicable here. In a city the size of
Portland, sale of llquora cannot be
prohibited perhaps one should say
cannot be prevented: but It must bo
kept under control of officials elected
by the people and be answerable al
wavs to them.
There Is a middle ground, too. be
tween this regulation and the so
called Mi Kenna ordinance, which Is
a far advance towards prohibition. On
these propositions for radical changes
It a 111 be wisest always to vote "Xo."
NAZIMOIA AND IBs EX.
If Madame Xszlmova would only
learn to enunciate English she would
be an everlasting Joy. Lon( experi
ence In suffering has taught the pa
tient theatergoer to expert the "sup
port" to mouth and mumble, but the
bright particular star ought to be
capable of better things. It would
not be fair to say that Naxlmova's
Nora is ruined by her bad utterance
because her acting almost redeems her
speech. Stl'.l. the redemption Is not
complete by any means. One can not
enjoy the fine nuances of her gaiety
and passion while he Is straining to
make out what she says. The perfect
actor trains his vocal organs at the
outset as an athlete does his mus
cles an a pianist his finger. He
trains them so well that they will
forever serve him In alt emergencies
without thought or care. This very
few of our contemporary actors have
taken the trouble to do. Mrs. Flake's
Rebecca In Itosmersholm was marred
by her wretched utterance. Only
those who were fortunate enough to
sit near the front could follow her
lines. It Is sad to compare the slov
enly speech which we hear now from
Ihe stage, tr rather which we do not
hear, with the pellucid articulation of
Mary Anderson, who learned her elo
cution In an older and nobler school.
Madame Nazimova's Nora Is a be
witching creature who probably comes
as near to Ibsen's conception aa the
conditions of the stage permit. The
poet himself complained that the act
ors distorted his characters so badly
that he could not b-ar to see his own
plays In the theater. Even Naslmova,
with all her art. certainly exagger
ates traits In Nora which Ibsen drew
with a tempered Imagination. Ha
may - have Intended to make the
woman careless, but certainly not
heartless. Nazimova makes her heart,
less now and then, or at any rate
too nearly so to be pleasant. For ex
ample, at the beginning of the con
versation, with Dr. Rank In the sec
ond act the doctor says he Intends to
enjoy her society as long aa he can.
This frightens Nora, for she momenta
rily dreads the appearance of the
Sheriff or something else as bad. and
believes that Hank refers to her own
predicament. "What have you found
out?" she cries, grasping his arm in
suspense. "It's all up with me." ha
replies. "There is no help for It." At
this critical point Nazimova. In ex
aggerated relief, turns away with a
careless smile, saying: "Oh. It's you?"
as If his suffering was of no conse
quence. But Ibsen does not carry her
fickleness so far. The stage direction
In the memorial edition Is that she
"breathes easily" and her speech Is
not a careless statement, but a ques
tion which shows real anxiety about
the doctor, though of course she feels
a great deal mora about herself.
It Is hard to believe that Ibsen In
tended Nora to change from an utterly
senseless and giddy girl Into a rea
soning, self-possessed woman In a
couple of days. She must have some
vestiges of sense to start with, but
Nazimova scarcely allows her any. In
the first act everything sha does Is
silly. In strange contrast with her con
versation, which every reader of Ibsen
knows Is shrewd even If It Is un
worldly. These things are but trifles,
however. I'pon the whole It cannot
be dented that Madame Nazimova has
caught Ibsen's conception of Nora
wonderfully well, and that her nor
trttyal of the spiritual transformation
from the clinging vine to the self
reliant human being la a marvel of
acttng. Most of all one admires the
skill with which she avoids the ap
pearance of petulance or harshness m
the closing scene, where Nora leaves
Helmer. In this difficult passage her
Nora Is neither too resolute . nor too
sentimental. It Is easy enough to see
that It wrings her heart to forsake
her children, and thar she still carra
for Helmer. though she tells him that
she loves him no longer. On the
other hand, we are not left In doubt
for an Instant about the steadiness of
her purpose. We know that sha Is
going from the moment she lifts her
eyes to Helmer' s face during his Joy
over the recovery of the forged note.
She starts and returns repeatedly, but
It is not done In vacillation. Her pur
pose remains fixed, and she only
comes back Into the room because
she has something more to say. Mad
ame Nazimova succeeds In convincing
us that Nora had the best of reasons
for deserting a good husband, aa hus
bands go. and leaving her children ta
the care of strangers. To do this In
the face of old custom, prejudice and
education Is no small triumph even
with Ibsen's genius to help her. Ill
effects being subtle, psychological and
often hoetl'.e to our preconceived Ideas,
are exceedingly difficult to render and
are not alwa sure of winning ajm-
pathy no matter how well they a re
achieved. That Madame Nazimova
both produces the err-cta and rum
pels ua to a.-cept the solution when It
cornea aa Ihe only right one Is the
hight-et praise- hl. h a clitic can give
her.
A Chicago railroad man has com
plied figures which pu'nort K show
that while ll.tto Americans emi
grated to Canada last year, there were
&..: Canadians who entered Ihe
I'nlted States. This Is a very satisfac
tory showing If It Is correct. It Is
possible, however, that a large number
of the Canadians who came Into, the
I'nlted States were In reality Immi
grants In transit who came from Eu
ropean countries through Canada to
Ihe I'nlted States. We should Ilka
to believe otherwise, hut In the por
tions of Canada which are now re
ceiving the greatest number of set
tlers ihe American predominate, and
there hat been no corresponding gain
by the t'nlted States of Canadian Im
migrants. For all that. Oregon.
Washington and other portions of
"the lust frontier" under the Amer
Iran Tag offer better Inducements to
the newcomer than can be found far
ther north, and If the Canadians are
also to their Interests they will come
over and Join ta In Ihs development
of the country.
The world move, and I-o. the poor
Indian, moves along with It- The
noble red man has abandoned lbs
time-honored prartlce of going out
with a meat-ax and mussing up the
headgear of the paleface whenever ha
gained the lmpresulon that the (vale
face was not doing the proper thing.
For example, note the admirable ex
ample of James Kaah Kash. Amos
Pond, ..'mapine and poker Jim. of the
I'matilla tribe. Not approving of Ihe
policies of Ihe Indian agent who had
been entrusted with their affairs, and
having learned that the pen is might
ier than the tomahawk, they sent a
written complaint lo Washington. As
a result Ihe resignation of the obnox
ious agent was Immediately called for.
A gool many Indian outbreaks might
have been averted in the past had the
Indiana followed the plan adopted by
Kash Kash and his associates, pro
vided their complaints would have
received the same consideration that
has been given the orfended Cma
tlllaa. The Hols Commercial Club will
start a campaign similar lo that car
ried on by Spokane for the purpose
of securing lower rales from Ihe rail
roads. The Boise Jobbers' Associa
tion is behind the movement, and at
least a few of the points brought out
al the Spokane hearing will justify
'he reduction asked for. Baker City.
Pendleton. Walla Walla. Colfax. Tr
koa and other cities on the llariiman
line between Chicago and Si. Paul
will also enter the field In due sea
son. "The effect of this decision kill
be very far-reaching." said Attorney
Stephen a few month ago when Ihe
Interstate Commerce Commission an
nounced II rinding. It has unques
tionably proven so. It will be so far
reaching that It will place the greater
part of SH'ktne' present Jobbing
business In easy reach of less preten
tious Jobbing centers.
