HOTEL BACKER . MYSTERY
Humor Connects Z. S. Spalding- With
Bowers' rrojecU
There Is a rumor In hotel circles that
Colonel Z. a. Spalding, a San Francisco
millionaire, who owna th Spalding
building, th Perkins Hotel and other
properly In Portland, may assist tn
financing th new 'Bower Hotel at
Eleventh and Washington street.
Colonel Spalding aad H. C. Bowers have
been good friends for a number of
years, and It la Intimated that his visit
to Portland at this time is more than
Incidental to the organisation of th
Bowers Hotel Company, which takes
over th Nortonla. March I, and pro
poses to build an annex of lit room
to front on Washington atreet.
Colonel Spaldtng could not be found
last night to verify or deny the report
that he is or la likely to become Inter
ested in th- Bowers Hotel. He reg
istered at th Portland yesterday and
left no word where he could be found
when he departed from the hotel, lie
la In th city and before he leaves. It
waa said yesterday, he will at 'least
be consulted about th Bowers Hotel.
Who la backing the Bowers Hotel
Company In its contemplaied extensive
Improvements of the Nortonla th di
rectors will not disclose, other than an
admission that Hill Interests have
money In It- The fact that Colonel
Spalding owna the Perkins Hotel prop
erty lends color to the report that he
may become interested in the Bowera.
If he has not already don so, as his
present holding has given him an ex
perience In that particular line of busi

United States in th Canadian reciprocity
negotiations.
I am delighted to know," said tne
President, that Brotrr Bridges comes

wer too dignified and too deliberate

These business men have covered th

We hare just undertaken a campaign
of advertising. Portland, Seattle and
Tacoma hav given Southwest Washing

We ar already feeling th result of
this systematic advertising condurted
by th railroads and commercial organi

will talk Washington and Oregon and
point out. the opportunities for settlers
in the two states so near to California
when talking of the beauties and oppor

for the upbuilding of the entire Paciilc

ELECTION OH TODAY
Final Balloting to Take Place
in Seattle March 7.
MANY SEEK NINE POSITIONS
Number of Candidates Connected
' "With Xdquor Trade Is Large.
Women May Play Indecisive
Role in Voting at Primary.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 20. A pri
mary election will be held In Seattle
tomorrow to eliminate all but 18 of the
68 candidates who are seeking election
as Councilmen, the final balloting to
take place March T. Each elector will
vote for nine names tomorrow.
Seattle, nearly a year ago, decided
on a form of government modeled on that
of Boston, power to be vested In a
Mayor and nine Councilmen elected from
the city at large and not from- wards.
It will be practically a modified com
mission government.
All of the present 18 Councilmen ar
candidates for the nine offices, which
will pay $3000 a year tn salary. Many
of the other candidates are little known.
Some belong to secret societies and base
their hopes on the lodge vote.
Others are candidates for the advant
age to be gained by advertising them
selves or their business. The number
of candidates connected with the liquor
trade Is large. The friends of Mayor
Gill, who was ousted from office two
weeks ago by the recall, will vote solid
ly for nine selected men tomorrow, and
are likely to get them on tne ticket.
The women's vote Is likely to be scat
tered among many candidates and thus
to be Indecisive tomorrow, but In the
final voting on March 7 the women
probably will unite on nine men of the
18 to be on the ticket. The total reg
istration Is 72.000. Tomorrow's total
vote Is not expected to exceed 65,000.

The Public Side of Street Railroading
By Patrick Calhoun
President of United Railroads, of San Francisco, CaL
Now it Is clear that If this doctrine can be advanced in regard to
property purely applicable to private uses, it is a much shorter step
to tha practical confiscation of property already charged with public
uses. I believe It to be the duty of the corporate managers of this
country to recognize scrupulously the public duty Imposed upon them
and upon their property and at the same time to defend, not only In
the interest of their stockholders, but of the whole community, every
attack upon the property of whJch they ar trustees, and that no
higher public duty Is Imposed upon a corporate manager today than of
educating the public to the full knowledge that their own liberty and
their own property are endangered when they strike down the limita
tions which guard Invested capital in any honorable enterprise.
A corporation official must today recognize in a way that he stands
upon the outposts and that the enemies of liberty and progress are
making their first attack on him. If his right to participate in public
affairs can be destroyed; If his property can be confiscated, the ene
mies of our Institutions will capture the chief outposts which protect
society. The overthrow of the liberties of the masses of people would
then be easy. In a sense, we se history In our Uay repeating Itself.
In tho fifty years preceding th establishment of th Roman Empire,
more gold was brought to Rome through the conquest of th kingdoms
of Asia Minor than at any other period. This tremendous increase In
the gold supply created great fortunes and great prosperity In Italy,
accompanied by an advance in the cost of living and tremendous un
rest on the part of the people. Demagogue, backed by rich men,
fought for Roman supremacy. In the final struggle with Augustus
Caesar the great senatorial class was entirely destroyed; with them
fell also the power of the tribunes of the people. There was no fore
between the disorganized masses of the people and the imperial gov
ernment which could resist governmental encroachment. And so for
more than fifteen centuries liberty fled from the territory which.
Rome ruled.
Individual liberty was again established In the world by tha slow
process of lopping away the powers of government and returning them
to individuals and communities. So. through blood and revolution, ex
penditure of treasure and of lives, the powers of government were
steadily reduced over the constant opposition of the governing clasa
unil the people themselves passed into fuU control of government
There was never in those strenuous days a single power lopped away
from government without resistance. It was natural that men who
had the power should resist having that power curtailed. But now the
people are In power and they find in the law of the land limitations
against th exercise of power by government which they, themselves,
established in the interests of their own liberty when kings were In
power These limitations are a necessary restraint upon the execution
of the" will of the people, and therefore demagogues assail these limi
tations as the safeguards of corporations and of the wealthy, as if the
limitations which protect the corporations and the wealthy could be de
stroyed without destroying the limitations which protect th weak and
the poor of all classes of society.
It Is -the patriotic duty of the railroad manager, fighting demagog
lcm and socialism on the outposts of society, to stand firmly for the
protection of those limitations which form the basis of the liberty of
the individual. He must learn and he must, teach that our principles
of government did not spring from a written constitution but that our
written constitution, carrying with tt the protection of life, liberty and
property, sprung from principles which were the product of eighteen
centuries of conflict with despotic powr; that the principles that a
contract must be held Inviolable, and that the humblest citizen of a
community,' as well as the richest, has certain inalienable rights of
which the whole of society cannot deprive him, are necessary in or
der that the people may prosper and find liberty and happiness In their
prosperity; that a government of, for and by the people has no place
in it for the political serf or the beneficent ruler; that equal and ex
lOt Justice to all men can only be found under a reign of law. In
this day, when we hear so much of the conservation of our material
resources and every patriotic man wants to see them intelligently
conserved and legally developed I say to you. gentlemen, that the
conservation the country most needs is the conservation of a govern
ment of law. . ' .
