;. SELF-HELP BETTER.
Out from the discussion of Rebecca
Harding Davla'-remarks on Eastern de
partment stores and the effect of the Jew
wages paid therein, comes a sequential
phase in the form of as question: "What
sort of , Institution wlU most effectually
eurreut' the evils that result from the
avarice of such department-store kings
aa John Wannantaker and his ilk?"
The question goes to lines of reform
work and all effort that has as its ulti
mate end the correction or prevention
of sin.
Cannot some basic principle be ascer
tained which, when applied, will make
for more intelligent expenditure of re
sources in the hands of churches, socie
ties and cults that aim in this direction?
The mistake made by most people of
charitable inclinations is that they vio
late the self-respect of the person they
desire to help. They give instead of
prompt to self-help. They pauperize In
stead of merely assist to the, application
of one's own energies, thereby to
strengthen independence anil' prepare to
obviate repetitions of the circumstances
calling for assistance.
The great majority of people never un
derstand" this truth, hence Injure by out
right donations when it would be pos
sible to help by merely helping one to
help himself.
There are In New York and elsewhere
institutions In which girls working for
the starvation wages paid by Eastern
department stores may live and know
that the small sums paid meet all ex
penses and that they therefore are not
.t
subjects of charity.
Even the churches might manifest wis
dom by utilizing this principle, and
prompting to self -struggling against sin,
instead of exerting the almost entire en
ergies and power of their wonderful
organizations In teaching people to de
pend on an Omnipotent Being to the
exclusion of one's already conferred
powers.

NEW YORK'S DISCOURTESY.
It Isn't any of our business out here
on the Coast, but one cannot resist the
temptation to utter some caustic remarks
on the boorishness of New York news
papers during the recent visit of the
party of Cnicago Aldermen to Gotham.
The Chicago Aldermen went to New
York to look into matters pertaining to
Ihelr official duties. They were received
by the New York newspapers in a spirit
that, if representative of the consensus of
thought and feeling, is such as to stamp
New York as the moBt impolite city in the
world and New Yorkers as the most Ill-
bred.
A wild Alaska Indian, untutored In the
arts of civilisation, will respect the law
of hospitality. Apparently, to the mind
of the New Yorker, the better one be
comes and the higher on the scale of
civilization he rises, the more inhospita
ble he should be.
At any ratevthe New York newspapers
treated that city's guests In a manner
to disgust ladles and gentlemen.
Out here on the Pacific Coast such
affairs "could not be. Were a town's of
ficials hereabouts to go to any other, as
did the Chlcagoans, there would be noth
ing left .undone to make the visitors re
tain a pleasing impression of the place
and compel the concession that there had
been an honoring of that which was lin
planted in man's breast by Nature kind
ness to the stranger who is within the
gates. Let those Chicago Aldermen come
out to Portland. We will treat you so as
to make you want to remain here.

j HILL ET AL. IN POLITICS.
t : :
(Uy a Start Writer.)
SEATTLE, Aug. 6.-Poilticlans are
quit eagerly discussing the probable ef
fect on the coming campaign of the con
ferences at Davenport and Colfax be
tween Presidents Hill of the Great North
ern, Mohler of the O. R. & N., and Mel
len of the Northern Pacific. That there
are political leanings and 'possibilities in
the meetings cannot be denied. A party
of well-known men were talking It over
here yesterday. They had previously In
'tfttned to the belief that the real con
trolling forces of the roads were not par
ticularly anxious on the subject of the
proposal for a railroad commission for
the State of Washington, but that hard
and fast legislation passing a fixed max
imum rate bill wouiu be prejudicial to
what they regard as their rights. Th
previously held views seem not to have
been altered. They believe the hrae pres
tdents really care not bo much if a com
mission be formed. Such an arrange
ment Is flexible. The properly constltut
ed commission has powers sufficient to
force just rates, but hus leeway to pro
vide for contingencies. A statute fixing
maximum rates would be absolute.
IMPROVEMENTS PROMISED.
The officials promised some Improved
service in the handling of freights by th
construction of connecting link be
.tweeh the Washington Central branch of
the Northern, Pacific and the Great
Northern. A lower rate on the wheat
of Washington approximating 25,000,000
bushels Is also promised to be effective
for the present harvest.
This is Interpreted by Seattle people,
if the Post-Iiuelllgencer correctly re
flects sentiment, as meaning that Seattle
will thus gain immense' advantage over
Tacoma In the trans-shipment of grain
However that may be, it cannot be' de
nied that It Is slgnlflcent of a disposition
on the part of the roads to concede to
the people better facilities, and, If noth
Ing more came from Ihe agitation, now
going on In this state for railroad legis
latton, there will have' been Borae gain
It will have been to an extent the tri
umph of public sentiment over the tend
ency to lug in giving to producer tne
needed facilities for the currying of stuff
from the interior to tidewater.
PORTLAND IS INTERESTED.
All this interests Portland, and is writ
ten for the moment from the Seattle point
of view. Portland Is interested, vitally,
too, watching the attitude of the railroad
companies toward her rlvuls. Under ad
verse conditions, Portland is the middle
piece of a commercial sandwich, or, is
between tho upper and nether millstone
of Puget Sound nfld Sail Francisco. Th'
Hill system on the north and the ilar-
rlman system on the south could leave
Portlaud in a bad condition, were they
so disposed.
These are unwelcome truths, yet they
must bo considered. Portland cannot ig
nore them. Every time the Puget Sound
cities are granted advantages over Port
land it means enough to Portltind to
warrant the latter in grVing It some very
earnest thought. Tlie same is true of
Saq FranciBoo and Portland.
EVEN CHANCE WANTED.
Of course Portland cannot Justly raise
objections to the Puget Sound cities re
cerving concessions that come as re
sponses to demands of geography and
other legitimate considerations. But an
equal chance Is deserved and Portland's
representative men should Insist that
such chance Is given. No fair-minded
man would attempt to deprive the Sound
of her ritfhls in transportation. But
Portland will do less than her duty U
there be no strenuous Insistence that
Justice be done.
THINGS NKK1) DOliW.
Those who study Into the problems of
wholesaling frum Coast cities will un
derstand the grave bearings of this ques
tion. The man who merely buys a ticket
occasionally to p:tss over a road will not
have 'elucidated to his understandingthe
vital necessities of the present railroad
complications. "Look to your laurels'' Is
quite good advice at this Juncture of
the city's history. Look to them with
determination ni:d bravery and persist
ency, Is what should be dinged Into the
ears of every person In Portland who
can wield any influence and contribute
something toward Portland's working out
her commercial salvation.
PERHAPS SOME POLITICS.
While most of us are not willing to re
vive railroad commission agitation in
Oregon, there may arise contingencies
such as may make it necessary that the
people gently remind the companies that
in this great and glorious land states are
sovereign to large extent and that the
right of eminent domain does not carry
dissolution of the power of the state, to
regulate ail matters pertaining to tariffs
and charges' and the giving of facilities.

TO PUT A STOP TO FAKK ADVEK
TIBING.
The member of the Board of Trade
of" San Bernardino, Cel., a few days ago
struck a blow at the "fake'' advertising
schemes that are the bane of the busi
ness man's life, and It Is now up to th
members to enforce the resolutions,
and there will be few "directories" and
catch-penny plana of onj itind and
another to take the business man's
time, all of bis patience and a part of his
money. A. W. Barnum Introduced the
following resolution and moved Its
adoption:
"Resolved, That we. as Individual
members of this Board of Trade, re
fuse to support or contribute to any
J subscription oc scheme of advertising,
except newspapers, unless the same has
been indorsed by the board ot direct
ors."
"That's Just building a barbed-wire
fence around yourself," suggested J. B.
Frith In the running comment that fol
lowed; "but put it high enough to keep
"em out,' " he continued. The discus
slonjwas participated in by half a dozen
members, none of them objecting, and
the resolution was adoprea without ob
jection. A REALLY GOOD WAY OF ADVER
TISING. There are various ways, of advertising,
and the ingenious .ways that gome seek
ers after publicity have of Introducing
themselves to publicity are worthy of be
ing chronicled. It seems there is in tho
City of Chattanooga, Tenm, a staff of
eminent physicians and surgeons from
the Hritish Medical Institute, they have,
at the urgent solicitation of a large num
ber of patients under their cure in this
country, established a permanent branch
of the institute In tnat city. These emi
nent gentlemen have decided to give
their services entirely free for three
months (medicines excepted) to all Indi
viduals who call upon them for treatment
between now and July 23. These services
constat not only of consultation, examina
tion and advice, ' but also of "ill minor
surgical operations.
The object In pursuing this course
is to become rapidly. and personally ac
quainted with Uie sick and afillcted, and
under no conditions will ;'.ry charge be
made for any services rendeied for three
months to all who called on or before
the date named. The doctois treat all
forms of disease and deformities and
guarantee a cure in every case they un
dertake. THEf ADVERTISERS OF THE FUTURE
The future Is a book closed and sealed.
Yet the past projects some light through
its covers, and one may read Its pages
dimly, here and there. Much has been
written about the future of advertising
and sofne have been so bold as to predict
that all forms will give way presently
to the newspapers. One falls to see, how
ever, how this can' be. None can deny
the newspaper Is the first, and far and
away first, as a means of publicity that
this Is likely to be the case as long
as newspaper reading is general. But
advertising is publicity, and' all means
of publicity will contipue to be used by
those who have things to sell. The bill
poster, the street cars, postal cards, the
traveling man, circulars and the writ
ten letter, booklets and novelties of vari
ous kinds must be used more or less by
advertisers just as long as such means
conduce to the end desired. The belit
tling of one means does not strengthen
another means. Each will do its work,
and that will do best which minds Its
own business and lets other alone. The
newspaper as, a means of publicity never
was so popular as now. It is used by
those who never used it before, All things
indicate that it will become more and
more popular. But is popularity is not
enhanced through belittling other means.
The newspaper Is so far ahead of all
others that it can afford to be generous
to the extent of letting alone the others.

COUNSELS REFUSING THE BEWARE
To the Editor Should Mrs. Waggoner
be paid the full amount of the reward of
fared for the "capture and return, dnd
or alive," of David Merrill? I have real
The Journal's statements that she should,
and I think I know the argument made
as to why she should not.
The bills offering the reward plainly
set forth that the money Is to be paid
'for the CAPTURE and RETURN, dead
or alive," of the criminal. The officers
here hold that the reward Is offered as
an Incentive for persons to take Ihj risk
of going out and hunting for the prison
er. It is naturally ' supposed that men
will hot risk their lives for sheer amuse
ment. The capture of a criminal "cannot
In any 'possible sense be applied to ac

Mrs. Waggoner risked nothing. She
merely found the body of Merrill by ac

have been killed by Tracy, do you sup
pose it would have offered any rcwa.d

And his body?
The case has few precede its and the
question' Is one of conscience with Su
perintendent Lee. Were it his own affair.
It would be different; but he Is acting
for the state, and Bhou'ld he have paid
the reward In full he would have been
blamed, just as freely for utterlv ignoring
the word "capture." The "capture" was
a part of the service required In earntng
the reward. Indeed, It was far the most
Important part. Mrs. Waggoner did not
perform It. Accidental discovery Is not
capture.
People do acquire vast sums of money
by accident, but a great commonwealth
could hardly afford to indulge the im
pression that It is right.
The fact that Mrs. Waggoner is a lady1
lends sentimentality to the case and
goes far In convincing some that the re
ward should be promptly paid. She
should be paid amply for her expense,
time and trouble and she no doubt will
be.
Had Merrill been captured, the money
would Have been promptly paid, and there
are few who would Bpare considerable
pains to demand the reward should they
capture Tracy, even though they were
ever so sanguine that the state would
not keep Its promises because it failed
to pay Mrs. Waggoner the full amount
of the reward offered for Merrill.

TURNER, Or., Aug. S. (To the Edi

OBJECTS TO STREET FAIRS.
PORTLAND, Aug. 6. ( 4 o the Editor.)-
Referrlng to the Elks' carnival, permit
me to say that the exposition should not
be held on public streets. There Is much
dissatisfaction among the citizens in this
respect, and there may be lawsuits
against the city if the fair takes place
on the streets. There was much 111 feel
ing against the Elks on acTonnt of the
blockade of Sixth street two years ago.
There are other places for the fair than

SHORT PERSONAL STORIES.
Prof. William Norman Guthrie, who Is
doing the best he can to remove from the
earth the stigma of being a vale of tears
and who lectures at the University of
Chicago with success in that direction,
has come out with the declaration that
love demands lyric poetry.
The members of the,, class smiled faint
ly at the utterance. For although
they are taught to write lyric poetry
while you wait, Just as they write odes
and dramas, still love with them is on
the blacklist. If they marry during their
school term they are fired. This unfor
tunate state of affairs made them pay
more attention to the professors' opinions
on poetry than to his panegyric on love.
It is admitted on all sides that the pro
fessor's contention that love demands
lyric poetry la correct. As witnesses a
couple of love lyrics popular Just now
might be subpoenaed.
"I Just Can't Help from Loving that
Man," "Come Home, Bill Bailey," "In
Good Old Summer Time," will do.
The love in them is as good as the lyr
ical Quality and , vice versa, Nand wjjat
more can be asked?
Oh, and fa It any wonder that Judge
Robarts gave Mrs. Mary Cox 'a divorce
from her husband, Solomon?
Do you know what that Solomon Cox
used to do? Well, we won't take the re
sponsibility for saying it. We repeat JU3t
what Mrs. Cox told the Judge and that
was that her husband used to stop at all
the saloons oh the way home and then
go back and do It over again, being
afraid that he had missed a couple.
And when he got home Mrs. Cpx says
he used to walk through the house on
tip toe, declaring he saw alligators and
snakes and. putting his fingers In his
mouth as 4F charm against them.
But now -he will have to take his pri
vate menagerie elsewhere, and wjll have
