The Captain of Industry Is Entitled to His Reward. f By JACOB COULD SCHURMAN, Pratldant of Cornell Vnlvanity. P to the last century the main functions of government were the protection of life and property and AFTER THAT administration of justice. Hut our nation haa now become 80 complex that the government has been compelled to ex tend ita functions. If anything, I think we are a little TOO MUCH INCLINED TO EXTEND THESE FUNCTIONS. The gorernment now passes lawa protecting the health of the working people. In Germany and other countries legislation has provided for a oompulsory education and the setting up of state banks and insurance companies. No generation can lay down rules which will be binding upon succeeding generations. The conditions and the evils of a gener ation MUST BE MET BY THAT GENERATION. So far as the governmental function is concerned, I am one of those that believe that the lees we are governed the better. But every emergency must bo met and settled according to the exigencies of the case, and, above all, we must see that JUSTICE is done. Public ownership is still an experiment, and I am not aware that the experiment in this country has appreciably advanced the millen nium. I am certainly opposed to government ownership of such utili ties as the railroads at this time, as it is entirely too risky, and I first want to see the results in the smaller field of MUNICIPAL OWN ERSHIP. The government could not afford to invest billions of dol lars in buying all the railroads of the country and then sink other bil lions in mismanagement and political corruption.

Tne oregonian Knows wen enouga that tbe long-haul-grain from the Hill territory will but pass over the margin of Portland's northern lim Ita and never lay for a day within her yards, and that the terminal haul to this port cuts no conspicuous figure In the estimates that have already been made by the men who have sunk 000,000 in the project of getting it here. Portland may ship; she may have the big money end of the great trade; she may enter Into negotiations that will maintain her prestige for all time as the mart for Northwestern grains but she can not effect any com petitive condition that will divert the terminal shipments from- Astoria. And Bhe may take what comfort she can from the perfectly logical certain ty that the channels from Astoria to the sea will, when all things are ready, be In condition as was never yet par alleled on the Columbia above Tongue Point o RUEF HAS PLAYED LIMIT. Abe Ruef, the San Francisco boodler has just about played the limit He Is In court again, with over $100,000 forfeited bonds to pay, and his case badly prejudiced by his own folly and the conniving tactics of a too facile judge who has evoked the suspicious criticism of his professional bretheren of the Bay City. The whole mess Is likely to go to an adverse and disgra ceful conclusion, and the sooner the betterf Schmltz, hlsf running mate, has hedged beautifully, and perhaps successfully, via the late Japanese un pleasantness in San Francisco, and will escape the rigor that is certain to be dealt out to Ruef; but In the public eye and conscience he Is none the less culpable.

The big suit filed in tbe federal court of New Jork City on Thursday last, by the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company against the American Sugar Refining company, the Havemeyer syndicate, the arch-trust in that com modity of the world, for $10,000,000 actual damages, and $30,000,000 tenta tive damages, for having conspired, and succeeded, In driving the plaintiff concern out of the market and pre vented it from engaging In the re fining of sugar at all, Is one of Immense interest to the whole people, since It is likely to be a clear-cut and radical test of the real attitude of the government In the execution and application of Its own laws, the case being docketed under the terms of the federal anti trust law of congress. The contending companies are both immensely rich and are likely to make the Issue historical and of pregnant effect when they shall be determined, and the trial will be watched with great interest by the whole world, since the very future of the trust prin" clple Is at bar for analysis and decree that shall be final and beyond the reach of further appeal. Do Not Crowd the 8eaaon. The first warm days of spring bring with them a desire to get out and enjoy tne exniiiarating air and sun shine. Children that have been hous ed up all winter are brought and you wonder where they all came from. Tne heavy winter clothing Is thrown away and many shed their flannels. Then a cold wave comes and people say that grip Is epidemic. Colds at this sea son are even more dangerous than In mld-wlnter, as there is much mora danger of pneumonia. Take Cham berlaln's Cough Remedy, however, and It al ways cures, and we have never known a coid to result in pneumonia wsen It It be hoped, of the entire section. Rumor was buy yesterday with the pleasant suggestion that T. B.

Of course, these rumors can not be verrlfled as yet, nor is it expected. Operators of this calibre are not given to flaunting their plana in the face of the public; but they are within the possibilities, and perhaps quite as probable as the once vague rumor that James J. Hill had bought the A. & C, and which was so strenuously denied until almost the hour of fruition. Astoria Is in the purview of big men and men of enterprise, and she is will ing to nurse al such rumors Into healthy and potnet realization as fast as she may. i THE TRENTON FirstClass Liquors and Cigars. 602 Commercial Street.
