TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1902. , ' , "' TRACY AND PSYCHOLOGY. Thar la a phrenological them in the Trac affair that illustrate whals tbe psychological moment, of which we leam In Ue works upon mental science. Cer tainly Tracy appeared at the psychologi cal moment Had he come upon the tag of criminal action earlier, or had h delayed his debut until Congress was ' In" session he would have won scant at tentlon. comparatively. As it was, he bald the boards, and enthralled the news- . paper readers of all the continents on - the e-lobe - , wherein , newspapers are printed. , , The 'silly season," familiar to all news paper veterans, waa on. The newspaper forces, were depleted, vacations were In vogue. Editors were -"covering" two desks apiece, and reporters md corre spondents and ,?genius men," and news editors and those at telegraph desks were suffering from a famine of news. Things imply would not happen. The whole world Appeared to have reformed, and to .have turned to the trivial business of en- Joying - life. Aeaalde correspondents. - usually looked -dew upoebyther mem bers of newspaper staffs, were almost Important as war "commissioner," ' and ' the heavy political man in Europe was out of a job. - "What shall . we "play up" this after Ebon or' tonight was the wail of the laves wto toll that people may have , each day news of interest and profit Tracy and Merrjin break for liberty, kill - three guards, and are. not captured. though many hunt them. . Like a hawk upon a hug, the news edl tor jumped on that story. ,Tby ran : to-polaf beaallnes across 'the top pages f 4jph;jpi.M4ptoyHp the whole matter as the feature of the day. It caught the public eya It was a sen satioa at a time of year when usually there are no sensations. They followed - the pathway of Tracy as thoy would fol low the campaigns of a Napoleon bound for Moscow to capture the Caar of all the Xlussias. It was the psychological moment. It made Tracy important to everyone . around a newspaper ' office. MEN'8 RUIN THROUGH PANAMA HATS. The advent of the Panama hat has ' .wrought changes in the relative status of the two sexes such as seriously to affect - the future of the race. Heretofore men . have been able . truthfully to charge against women that the latter were ex , travagant The purchase of a new hat .wts occasion for the husband to read a leeture to the young wife on the abso lute financial profligacy of the average - women, who would spent tlO to $13 for a hit of millinery out of a $15 per week 'salary. There was no defense, and , , therefore It was that the never-falling subject of hats was the means whereby young husbands' maintained their suprem acy as the head ef families and the con trollers of the domestic destinies. , The Panama hat craze struck America, - aad (he young husband Instanter lost his -? vantage .ground, for 'be was compelled, v- it. he would keep In the procession, to purchase a $35 Panama, or, at least. If , he bought a S3 Imitation, pretend that his chapeau cost him a quarter of a hundted dollars. There is then no longer the possibility of" reproaching- the wives for their extravagance, and there Is ss a consequence a reversal of the relations ; of the two regarding- the matter of un ne dispensing of the family funds. Ver ily, the Panama hat has wrought sig nificant changes in the social world. HOWf ' ANTI-EXPANSION SENTI- ' :: MENT AROSE. Various newspaper writers of this coun try are eajraglng in comment over the Questleil as t4 how anti-expansion senU txent was created. ' The answer might be variously made, but here is one truth in this connection, that will appeal to all fa ir-m laded persons' as obvious: It was crested ss .imich as by any -other by wii aad newspapers that at first, when the issue came up, excoriated the reten tion of the Philippine ' as .fc' proposition squinting st subversion of the foundation principles of the Government Let the following illustrate it: At the present time certain Coast news papers are attempting to brand as trait ors all who hesitate to accept the extreme of expansion, and who honestly believe that it is unwise to retain the Philip pine Islands. They who believe thus, so The Journal contends, are incorrect. This paper holds that the islands are ours and must remain ours at least,, until Conditions have been better learned and the future shall have indicated what is best to do." But, at the same time, it is right to ad mit that people may differ from our posi tion, and to credit them with decency In J their citizenship. In short, tolerance is demanded by all excepting those who are bigoted and arrogant. Having created an anti-expansion senti ment In the days When first the issue came before the American people, these newspapers and men now assume to call traitor anyone who retains the views he held then. They assisted to create a sen timent which they jiow' denounce. They have simply climbed Into the bandwagon. They thought that expan sion was popular, and they quickly turned their coats and became expansionists. The point should not be overlooked. It Is one of the parts of the story of recent political events affecting the Nation. . A RING AND BRYAN. It transpires that the recent state con vention pf the Missouri Democrats was ocasion for victory of the old political ring that ruled that state for so many years. At the same time. It was occasion for the unqualified Indorsement of Mr. Bryan. The two are not consonant with our ideas of the elevation of politics through loyalty to the principles advo cated by the Nebraskan. Wo have all along been led to think that whatever Mr. Bryan stood for was in no manner referable to the objection able practices of which professional politicians were guilty. The reforme stood for betterment of methods. He was always a voucher for higher conceptions of the dignity of the electoral system He meant to his followers, if he meant anything, the separation of elections from the selfish alms of the political grafter. Have we heen deceived T Have we after all, conceding that the Nebraskan was often mistaken In his economio views, yet clung to a chimera when we looked upon him as one who was above the sordid considerations that move men to make politics a business, and who de baucliiW the voters? The Missouri ring has been as bad as any in the United Btates. It has fre quently out-Tammanled Tammany, put Matt Quay to blush, and caused the cor- ruptlonlsts of Chicago to look like sorry specimens of the vile In politics. They have been the limit of political wrong. Yet, Mr. Bryan was 'Victorious with them, while the other elements in Mis souri politics in the Democratic party were trampled in the dust of convention defeat. The two do not harmonise. Their relationship does not align with precon cetved notions of the exaltation of the man from the River Platte. ' A young woman writes a labored trea tise on: "Shall there be humor In ad vertising ?" And she ponders it deeply and concludes that there should not Isn't it as sensible as to debate whether men should wear overcoats or Panama hats, when anyone knows that they should wear these articles of apparel ac cording to the needs of the hour? . Some times there should be humor, sometimes not. Humor in s railroad timetable is absurd. Humor In a railroad write-up of a resort might be very rood. Bt Louis officials find that 600 houses are unsafe for occupancy. But nothing is done to compel that .they be made safe. And that is a sample of the average elil clency of1 city officials. - Bryce asserts that America has solved the problem of representative government upon the large scale, but has : failed deplorably In ap plying the principle to. Cities. Bryce often wrote truths. Cleveland's forme- right-hand man. Vilas, opii'es that the Democratlo party must take up the tariff and the trusts. Mr. Vilas Is right, but he must not in sist that the Nation take up Cleveland along with these other issues. The peo- le are witling that the Man of Destiny remain in seclusion at . Princeton, and read pedantic essays to College students.. They think they can run the political business without him. ' Hobson is to marry;- Think how jeal ous his wife will be. LIKES HIS OWN NAME. Lamar It Holmes, of Springfield, Mo., has refused to, adopt the name of Fris ble, though for doing so he would have received $12,000. Louise Friable, his aunt. left him that sum on condition that he make the change, but he refuses to do so. He had a. year to consider the matter. - .FttEPROOF TRAINS. All the new trains on the Central Lon don railway are to be ef fireproof con struction, steel and asbestos being large ly used, Other precautions for the safety Of passe eg era are being taken. ' ' ' THE BOYS OF SEATTLE I -: ft SEATTLE, July 30 Four things ; are most noticeable in Beattle te the Visi tor: 'Seattle Is a remarkably lively town. Seattle is a remarkably dingy town. Seattle is an important commercial point Seattle is run by young men. This last mentioned characteristic is all the more conspicuous to the Porttander, because there the young man has hereto ."ore been regarded as unworthy to handle, the affairs of a community. Portland has believed in "old men for counsel, young men for war," and has Insisted that the young mah must submit to what the old er heads said was wise. 1 remarked this to a Seattle business man, and be told me a story: EVIDENCES OF BRAINS. "I remember once that the younger Pitt was sent from England to France to rep resent the government tn an Important mission to the French monarch. He was barely 20. and had no beard. He made his appearance before the French King, who was amated to see a mere lad be fore him, and said: , " 'What, do they send a beardless boy to cope with me in matters of state?' . "'Sire,' answered Pitt 'if hair "were evidence of brains, they would have sent you a dog.' " This story of the- Seattle man, I con fess, was somewhat disrespectful to men of years, and quite shocked the ffatfner. tt comported not with Portland's ideas, and was yet exactly characteristic of the Seattle situation. , Young men are In the saddle here. Tbey run things. NOT MUCH WEALTH. It Is true, too, thut the results that may be shown by Seattle were secured by working with shortage of- capital There is not much money In Seattle, cOmparecf with Portlund. Or, perhaps. It would state it, more accurately to say that Seat- , tie has ac-cumuluted little wealth in the hands of a few persons, and that the money possessed here Is In the hands of everyone. While there are people who might find convenient use for a more liberal store of earthly wealth, there Is a very general distribution - of wealth here. Everyone has some of it. The boomers of Seattle have therefore worked without great capital at com mand. They have had to make their money- as they went along. Thy have had to forge Seattle to th front against adverse influences. It has been a battle of young men against older men else where who had immensely more capital These young men have done well. They have built a city upon the ruins of fire and financial depression. They have somewhat to show for their efforts. THEY'RE HOSPITABLE FELLOWS. These young men, too, are hospitable fellows. They never miss an opportunity to show off their town to a visitor. Drop Into Seattle for a few hours, and the chances are two to one that within -the end of one of those' hours your will be seated In a rubber-tired buggy being driven about the place to see what Seat tie Is doing to work out her commercial salvation. They are enthusiastic people, and loyal to their town. They look at you with blank- amazement when, having conceded several points of superiority for Seattle over Portland, you In turn cite some ob vlous advantage possessed by the Oregon metropolis. The idea Is, unsponken, yet expressed by manner and countenance; "You do not realy mean that Portland has ono point of excellence that Seattle haa not In greater degree!" The Seattleite looks at you with pity that sUch a fallacy ever got into you mind. He hastens to correct, your wrong impression. THOSE BOYS ARE AMBITIOUS, TOO. It Is apparent, too, that those boys are ambitious, and propose to do many things for their city that have not yet been given out to the world. They do not doubt that theirs Is the best town on the Ccast, and they know with a knowledge approaching certainty that itwill always hold this alleged first place. San Fran- Cisco does very well as a town for story writers. But It is not in. tbe class with Beattle. Portland is solid, has lots of money. Is backed by a fine country; but compare It with Seattle! Is an angel's dream to be compared' with the vision of a friend? Much more sensibly than to in stitute comparison between the City of Destiny end the chief town of the Co lumbia and Willamette Valleys. The future Is glorious to the expecta tion of the Seattlelts . He believes that when God made the universe He planned some temporary towns farther south, per mitted them to exist for & season, but in tended and Intends to move them all up to Seattle, and wipe them from the map. These young men believe this, and they would be disappointed were a guest to suggest otherwise. BUT THEY'RE DOING WELL. It is obvious, however, that these young men are doing excellently In the upbuilding- of a great commercial mart. They are full of life. They are possessed of enthusiasms. They, believe in their town and they believe In themselves. They have a faith that becomes know ledge, and they "go out to conauer for Seattle and for Seattle people, with a courage that compels admiration from anyone who comes here to see. this City of Destiny. The Portland man smiles at their scorn of his home town, enjoys the tremendous energies that move things up here, and goes away with the idea that the young man of Seattle Is It There are no old men in Seattle. L. THE STAGE ENGLISHMAN Talking of typical Englishmen, I am pleased to see that the type of the stags Englishman has changed. It has just begun to dawn upon stage managers that Britons no longer wear ginger-col ored whiskers, large white ; bat and green gauxe veils. Gentlemen , 'of this type are now replaced by burly, red faced Individuals with drooping mus taches, and who wear loud checks. Wc have not quite, reached the perfection In the art of representing the' typical Eng lishman, but - this is, at any rate,' a. change for the better. Paris Correspond ence of the London Globs, ' GAVE HIS LIFE. T1t is a positive relief to iurn from the daily accumulation of stories about crime and cruelty as between men to an offi cial report from to Philippines which reads as follows:, - J see . t The death of Private Joseph G. H. : t - Biseman, hospital carps, U. 8. A., is t t announced. . Print IWseman was : t detailed to faos death as a cholera .: I nurse for .one of pur comrades and : t died of the disease, caught from his ; : charge; an example of devotion to : t duty to be held up tor all men to t : emulate. - Does not tbe Great Teacher say that no greater love can be shown than for a man to lay dowa his life for another? And can any nobler Inspiration be given to our sons and daughters than through examples of brave self-denial and heroic devotion to duty like this? Why not play up these stories stronger In the news papers and help the waning faith in hu man nature, which the swful record of dally crime Induces at tlmes?-Mlnneapo-lls Tribune. FROM OTHER VIEWPOINTS. TARIFF AND Tllt'STS. When the steel trust Is able to furnish structural iron cheaper in Europe and Africa than It will supply the same ma terial here in New York; when American sewing machines cost less In Englaud than they do at the factory doors; when the food trust raises the price of meals to famine figures because it 1 secure against" competition of Canada mutton and Mexican beef, the potency of the element of duties In their monopolies ret quires no further demonstration, though the refusul to give Cuba the reciprocity we owe her, at the behest of another trust, is cumulative evidence of the same thing. New York American. THE FINANCIAL SITl'ATION. So far as New York is concerned the present ease of mopey is assisted by tho removal of the war tuxes, result ing In heavy excess of Government ex penditures over receipts. The market thus far during the month has gained inofe than $12,000,000 from this source. As an advance In the rate of Interest on time leans to even 6 per-cent .would doubtless turn the exchanges In our favor, there seems no reaHon to fear any important eftlux of gold at this time. New York Herald. AN ILL-NATURED FLING. Mr. Bryan speaks of those "who brought defeat on the Democracy." Well, he took charge,, of the party In im and It has been defeated ever since. The way for Mr. Bryan to find out the very features of the man who' defeated the Democratic party Is to look in Jhe glass. And much about him suggests that he is tho sort of man who would like to look In the glass. Brooklyn Eagle. Thomas Hood (1799-1845). There were two sides to Hood's poetical character, either of which would have given him distinction, but his great and unique rep utation rests upon the performances In vhlch they appeared in combination. As apoet in the more conventional and re stricted sense he was graceful, delicate and tender, but not very powerful. As a humorist Ve was exuberant,'and endowed with a perfectly exceptional faculty of playing upon words. FAIR IMS. Oh, saw ye not fair Ines? She's gone Into the West, To daxzle when the sun is down, And rob the world of rest She took our daylight with her, The smiles that we loved best With morning blushes on her cheek, And pearls upon her breast Oh, turn again, lair ines, Before the fall of night. For fear the moon should shine alone, And stars unrival'd bright; And blessed will 'the lover be That walks beneath their light. And breathes the love against my Cheek I dare not even write. - Would I had been, fair Ines, That gallant cavalier Who rode so gaily by thy side, And whispered thee so near! " Were there no bonny daffies at home, Or no true lovers here, That he should cross the seal to win . The dearest of the dear? I saw thee, lovely Ines, Descend along the shore. With bands of noble gentlemen. And banners waved before; , And gentle youth and maidens gay, And snowy plumes they wore; It would have been a beauteous dream. If it had been no morel Alas, alas, fair Ines! She went away with .sons;," Wl,th music watting on her steps. And shoutings of ths throng; But some were sad and felt no mirth But only music's wrong. In sounds that sang: - "Farewell, fire- well, -; To her you've loved so long! Farewell, farewell, fair Ines I That vessel never bore - So fair a "lady on Its deck," Nor danced so light before.

X warft to congratulate you on the success of The Journal in giving this city and state an enterprising and Inde pendent, paper. You save filled one of "the - leagwfett wants and' every citlsen Should feel and most of them do feel deeply Interested In the success of your enterprise. , A city the sise of Portland and a stats with future before It such as Oregon has have diversified Interests that n4 to be looked at from all sides, and that need to be discussed from the widest possible point of view. A few men and a few interests cannot make a great City, much less a great state.' It takes the co-operation of a whole peo ple with united and best efforts to ac complish such results. That there may be oo-operatlon of effort, backed by pub lic opinion and public spirit there ( must be freedom of speech and consultation among ,th entire population. It will (not work well for a few men to" get together in a corner, map out en terprtsee which are often largely con duclve to their own personal interests, and then so far consult-the public as to ask'' It to foot the bills. That plan has been tried often and in many places, but It has not been conducive to public wei-' fare. A few may have profited by It. The better way is to consult the whole public. Interest the whole public and all pull together for the common good. To reaah this desirable end there must be diversity of newspaper interest, and toleration of honest differences of opin ion, on all public questions. In no other ' way can public opinion beUeveloped and ' co-operation secured. Tliene arthe great i needs of Portland today, vlx: I'ubllo ! opinion on all public questions and co- j operation In pushing every interest of the city. i The impression has been carefully made ! here for many years that another news- j paper could not succeed, because it could , not get the news, It was said. You have proved that this statement was a mis erable scarecrow designed by Interes'ted parties to frighten timid and unthinking people. You have secured the news and yon have published It, and tnat, too. In advanqe of the constantly bepralsed pub lic channel. It has been constantly iter ated and reiterated and put into the pub lic mind In a thousutid ways that you must have the news given out by "The Associated Press," or else you rnulrl not publish a newspaper. There is a great deal far behind this statement that may not have occurred to -everybody. It means much to the public. Is tbe "As sociated Press" a wholly disinterested party. Does it give ail the- news with out bias? It may about lires, robberies, ! divorces, elopements, suicides, and such personal matters, but how about broad questions of industries, trade, finance, legislation, International policies and the like? There Is not a crowned head tn the civi lised world Who haft not an agent of the Associated Press at his elbow, ready to do his biCdlng and to give the public hia aluo f any public question that may arise, while any other side may or may not have a heeriner. a:, circumstances may determine. It Is in this way that certain interests tire always isrnsting themselves In the face Of the people, while others are neglected. And so It is with all frreat public questions. News respecting such matters is . constantly shuped and trimmed to suit certain patterns. It is so In finance, in manufactures, In trade, In politics, so that It has become a ques tion with Intelligent people whether l is not'best to get their new outside of this charmed, interested circle. At least, it is best to get some of It in that way and The Journal la furnishing a fair oppor tunity In that direction, to the citizens of Portland and the State of Oregon. In my Judgment It Is worthy ' of support by every enterprising citlsen. .. FAIRPLAY. PAPERS OF THE DAY. - The afternoon newspaper Is the paper for the people who want to read the news, both early and leisurely.- It prints flrsfc, the greater proportion of the fresh Items. It reaches the average render at an hour when he has time and inclination to peruse it thoroughly. Newspaper reading is a habit formed largely by the occupations of life. If the whole day be filled with details of business and the individual has but a short space, to devote to keeping himself Informed as to the progress of the world But the great majority have a period of rest, -and In the largest number of cases this period oc curs after the hurry of the day is over. A few decades ago the evening paper was" regarded as the echo of the morn ing. Now the morning paper Is the echo of the paper of the previous afternoon. Washington Star. The newspaper of the future will not be a dally. It will be a continuous news paper." It Will be published morning and evening,' whatever there Is anything to print that Is of public Interest During the recent excitement over the ex-convict, Tracy, the Seattle Star pub lished IS issues in one day. That is a common occurrence With the up-to-date newspaper. . The continuous newspaper will go on every train, and on Us .own means of conveyance by land and water, and the newspaper will be first to utilise aerial transportation. The touch of modern journalism will make the whole world kin. Salem Jour nal.

Nlbley, who is at the head of the Sumpter Valley Railroad, running out from Baker City, thinks the recent order temporarily setting aside lands In Eastern Oregon will operate to the re tarding -of the lumber Industry. Mr, Nlbley. at the Portland Hotel, talked thus on the subject "I believe that there Is a middle ground between the two extremes the extrem ist on the forest reserve idea and the man who would incontinently devastate the country of all of Its timber. There us ually Is sensible middle ground, and ex tremlsts are usually wrong. "It cannot be denied that It Is unwise to remove all timber from any region Climate is affected, and all conditions modified. There Is much good sense in the forest preservation movement, and we who are Interested In timber industries do not want to be classed among those who would destroy our forests. "On the other hand, there must be lumber If we would . have development, an if there be lumber there must be logging and milling. "The problem, therefore, .' is to harmo nize the two, and this is what must be done in this instance. Find the middle ground, and stand upon that, is my view of the question."- Mr. Nlbley stated to The Journal that the Sumpter Valley road would build probably next year or soon at' least to Prairie City, but regarding the final des tination of the road he had nothing to say. It has been the impression gener ally that the road had plans that Involve considerable building.
