The On-Ronian's scathing rebuke of
Concressiran Tonjrue ' frivolity in pro
posing a mardl gras exhibition at gov
ernment expense in Portland when the
state is rapidly tending to commercial
decay through ignorance or inatten
tion of the Washington delegation to
needed Improvements of the Columbia
river, ill be endorsed and applauded
wherever the truth of Oregon's present
situation is realised and mourned.
Tongue's nonsensical suggestion ts in
keeping with other manifestations of
the spirit In Oregon which wastes time
and money on frolics while other states
by Industry and thrift are grow
ing great in commerce and trade.
There may be excuse for Governor
Getr's suings around the state in the
pursuit of happy-go-lucky entertain
ment, lot he has probably never read
and docs not deem it his duty to study
the statistics relating to the growth
and development of his Elate, but
Tongue is in a different atmosphere
and surrounded with examples of other
bustling public men who understand
and attend to the wants of their com
munities even before they are appre
ciated at home. There Is every induce
ment and convenience for Tongue's ap
plication to these problems of commer
cial expansion, and he has access to
sources of information and Inspiration
cf which Governor Geer has pt-rhaps
never even heard. The Oregonian, how
ever, is not free from blame for the
state if unconcern and utter indlffer
ence which prevails among some of
those who are considered among the
brightest and most enterprising bust
ness men of the state. That paper has
pursued the mistaken policy of sup
pressing the details as to Oregon's de
eadtnee and has lulled the fears of
many of Its readers by roseate pictures
of the state's standing in particular
line of commerce, where there was no
competition, and with boastful predic
urong
ones
In speaking about Scott's
Emulsion for children, you
should not forget that it con
tains lime and soda, just
what the child must have to
form strong bones and good
teeth. It's this forming time
I you want to look after.
Growing bodies must have an
easily digested tat Just think how
much of it there is in milk, as cream.
Sccii's Emulsion
b even more easily digested than
cream. It's surprising how chil
dren thrive when given H.
Don't keep the children living on
the edge of tkXntu aO the time.
Make them strong and rugged,
plump and hearty. Scotfi Emul
sion of Cod-liver Oil and the Hypo
phosphites of Lime and Soda will do
litis for them.

lions of hat the future might bring
forth. The publication in the Ore
gonian of the plain, unvarnished truth
of Oregon s position in comparison
with California and Washington would
do more good In stirring up Oregon's
people, both business men and politi
cians, than columns of post mortem
criticism on the Incapacity of such
public representatives as McBride and
Tongue, as sensible and much deserved
as its comments on their weakness and
inedciency have been.
OUR WORLD MARKET.
When the United States is furnishing
steel rails to the tune of 200,000 tons,
tor roads building In Australia, It is no
wond-r that the mills should be busy
and prices good. It Is to be remem
bered that up to a few years ago all
the rails used in Australia were made
in England, but the world has moved
since then, and it has moved parttcu
larly fast as concerns the United
States.
But it is not in Australia alone that
we are sending rails. Japan is calling
upon us for the same kind of material,
and so are China and Egypt. The great
trans-Siberian railroad, connecting St.
Petersburg with Port Arthur, Is using
Uncle Sam's steel, and with great sat'
iffaction. Now that the superiority of
our product has been thoroughly es
tablished, and the Inviting character
of the prices we are able to offer has
become fully known, the foreign mar
ket open to our manufactures Is al
most unlimited.
It is quite natural that Americans
Hhould crow loudly and long over the
steel rail situation, as well as our enor
mous exports In other lines of gods.
The situation if a complete vindication
of our economic policy, and a refuta
tion of the prophecies of the enemies
of that policy. May the good work go
on. May the steel rails, and the print
ing pret-ses, and the typewriters made
in free America have some occult In
fluence in the interest of freedom with
those who use these products when
they reach their purchasers across the
sea.
