Douglas Demo crat, thus vindicating the Judgment of Seward and Thayer that Oregon would stand by the Union and reject slavery. .

The bridging of the Columbia River for public travel ls a great achieve ment. It is the only structure of the kind spanning the broad stream be tween Oregon and Washington. It is an important link In the Pacific High way extending from British Columbia to Mexico. It ls definite physical evi dence of the spiritual, commercial and political union between two sov ereign states. It ls the splendid prod uct of the enterprise of two active" and growing communities. It ls in itself an engineering triumph, a mas terpiece of the artisan's skill and -the laborer's energy, a supreme adorn ment of a majestic river. It ls a day for congratulations be tween Oregon and Washington, be tween Multnomah and Clarke, be tween Portland and Vancouver. The long and energetic campaign to aban don primitive ways of crossing the flowing waters and to Install a mod ern vehicle of continuous and easy passage, has' ended. The dream ls realized and the interstate bridge ls finished. DON'T BOTHER 'EM. "Why should the legislature want te in terfere? Which can best decide as to whether Mr. Tucker should be on the com mission the majority of the Legislature or the majority of the Port commissioners, tne latter of whom have been for many months Intimately associated with Mr. Tucker as a fellow Commissioner? From the Portland Journal. Why, Indeed, should the Legislature, which, created the Port of Portland, or " the people, who create Legisla tures, bother or annoy the august Port board when it seeks to exercise its sovereign right to control the suc cession? V A few years ago It was discovered that the Legislature of the state had so fixed the charter of Portland that the Police Commission was a per petual body, electing its own succes sors, and thus exercising complete domination over police affairs. There was so great a, public uproar over, the finesse of the astute politicians who had achieved this wonderful coup seriously restricted our action la" case of war, and they made an errort to compromise, the difference with ua In regard to submarines through the Swiss Minister, but it came too late. Unless they would accept and live up to the terms of the Sussex note, the President would hold no further dis cussion and would be guided in hi future actions by Germany deed. The consternation In Berlin which followed Mr. Wilson's action, the moves to undo it and the fears of drastic hostile steps, all combine In bearing eloquent xtestimony to the ef fectiveness of prompt and decisive ac tion In averting such Imminent dan ger of war as now hangs over the American Nation. They confirm what The Oregonian has often said that the surest safeguard against war ls not the betrayal of nervous anxiety to avoid It, nor a series of written pro tests extending pver months; It ls a prompt and firm assertion of our Na tional rights, followed by vigorous ac tion to maintain them if violation con. tinues. It consists not In easy-going confidence that our rights are so plain that no nation will venture to en croach upon them and that no prep aration to maintain them ls neces sary: it consists In constant vigilance and In Immediate warning to any transgressor that he desist or face the consequences, also In readiness to follow up the warning with effective force. The President's stern rebuke to Germany has had most salutary ef fects in inspiring not only that nation, but all nations, with respect for the United States. It would have been still more effective if it had come earlier, and would have savfid many a life which has been lost. How to Keep WelL By Dr. V. A.
