COLLAPSE OF THE SHIP'
PING TRUST.
One of the most significant events of the
year ia the collapse pf the shipping trust.
The big, water-logged corporation has finally
sunk of its own weight. The brief, prelim
inary Investigation of Its affairs, which haa
' resulted in forcing the trust into receivers'
hands, haa disclosed the grossest misman
- , agement and an utter disregard by the dl-
v rectors of the Interests of the security hold-
.ers. The following comment by the Judge
before whom application for receivers was
made tells the story:
' ' ; "It would appear that the directors of the
company have abdicated their powers, and
the company Is drifting along without any
' guidance. Not only are the directors not
: striving to relieve the company from em
barrassments, but they are advising the
stockholders to submit to numerous extor
. tlons to procure present funds and threat
' f enlng foreclosure to those stockholders who
. refuse to relinquish the security of their
: mortgages. These people are entitled to the
. protection of the court and that protection
can only be had by the interference of the
court and the appointment of a receiver."
It was notorious, when the shipping trust
; was formed, that Its capitalization was far
In excess of the actual value of the assets
Charles M. Schwab, the steel trust mag
nate, was one of the promoters and he seized
the opportunity to unload upon the new cor
poratlon a steel plant valued at 17,500,000,
for the enormous price of $30,000,000. This
. was but a sample of the methods employed
. in financing the new monopoly. An enor
mous volume of so-called securities was then
placed upon the market and the public was
persuasively invited to buy.
But the market was already glutted with
."undigested securities" as Mr. Morgan has
termed the watered stocks and bonds of the
Industrial trusts, and the public declined to
Invest. The millionaire promoters of the
new trust found to their dismay that the
- crop of "suckers" had suddenly played out.
i Morgan, Schwab, et al. were in the un
pleasant predicament of being forced to as
sume themselves the burden which they had
intended, to fling upon the long-suffering
public. The final result is not surprising.
The- one gratifying- f eatureof the Inevitable
crash Is that the number of small investors
Involved is comparatively small. The great
bulk of the securities Is still in the hands of
the men who originated the trust and who
are directly responsible for its collapse. They
will receive little sympathy from the public.
It will be strange indeed h the bankruptcy
of the shipping- trust la not followed by other
financial crashes even more sensational and
disastrous. The squeezing out of the water
fnay be deferred, but it will inevltubly come
at last.
believe that an Inquiry into the methods
pursued in the Land Office would be fruitful
of results. The smothered scandals of that
bureau should be mercilessly exposed If
there is any real desire on the President's
part to rout out the rascals who have been
using public office merely for the purpose of
despoiling the people.
WHERE WILL THE SCAN
DAL STOP?
Eastern papers are now calling attention
to the persiwtent rumors that the wholesale
corruption recently , discovered in the Post
office Department Is not confined to that
branch of the government service. As yet
these rumors have not taken the form of
definite and specific charges of wrongdoing,
but they are fully as well defined as the in
sinuation which were current against the
Postofflce Department fortwo-years before
the present investigation was begun.
The Treasury Department, It is alleged, i.
honeycombed with Irregularities, and !t Is
freely charged that the enormous Influence
of this" branch of the government has been
freely .used to aid certain favored banks in
the Eastern money centers. The Interior
, department, which haa charge of the Pen-
aJaa., Bureau, the Indian Bureau, the Patent
Office, the General Land Office and other
minor bureaus, has not been thoroughly in
vestigated for several years, though serious
charges have been made against a number of
officials especially In the Land Office and
the Indian Bureau.
' If President Roosevelt has an eye single
to the purification of the government service,
and If he faas the courage with which -he is
accredited, he should' not stop with the in
vestigation of the Postofflce Department?
THE TARIFF ISSUE IN
IOWA.
The efforts of the Iowa Republicans to
agree upon an emasculated tariff plank, suf
ficiently meaningless to be unobjectionable
to both the friends and opponents of tariff
revision, is in marked contrast to he bold,
decided stand taken y the Democrats of the
same state a week ago. In their platform
the Democrats unequivocally denounced the
present tariff as "the creator of countless
unearned fortunes, and the Shelter of huge
combinations of capital organised as trusts."
and they declared that "to the end that the
evils connected with the growth of trusts
may be eliminated we call for the removal
of the tariff from all trust-made goods, and
demand that all tariff schedules be adjusted
with a flew to tariff for revenue only."
This Is a plain straightforward declaration
of principle upon the great issue of the com
ing campaign. It remains to be seen
whether the Republicans of Iowa will dis
play equal courage and equal candor. To
dodge the issue is virtually to declare in
favor of a perpetuation of the present tariff,
which is a tariff for monopoly only.
One of Portland's great needs is an Emer
gency Hospital. It Is doubtful whether an
other city of equal size in the country is
without such provision for "first aid to the
injured." The police station should be
equipped with a receiving hospital where In
stant medical attention can be given to per
sons whose condition or circumstances ren
der it difficult to remove them at once to
private institutions.
Liz, a big elephant at Coney Island, was
visited by the stork last week and became
the mother of twins. The baby elephants,
which weighed respectively 150 and 156
pounds, were named Shamrock III and Re
liance, but three quarters of an hour after
their arrival Reliance died. Believers in
omens may find in this a portent as to the
outcome of the races for tl) America cup.
Sir Thomas Llpton has shown himself a
good .loser, and if Shamrock III should suc
ceed in lifting the cup we can learn how to
demean ourselves by recalling the manner
in which the gallant Irishman has borne his
past reverses.
New York Times: Postrnaster-General Payne stands before the public In a bad light
today. It depends upon himself whether he shall be put In a better light. Ht is not
personally Implicated In the irregularities and misdoings. The country will be thankful
for that. But he has been guilty of serious errors of judgment, and he has spoken of
the disclosures in his department In a tone, at first of Jesting1 lightness, and lately of
complacent satisfaction at the ending of the business, which must lead thinking per
sons to conclude that he by no means appreciates the gravity of the scandal. It was
in the worst possible taste for him to say that "the charge of Mr. Tulloch Is In its
essence against President McKinley and Postmaster-General Smith," and that "Presi
dent McKlnley la no longer living, and Postmaster-General" Smith, who carried out
President McKinley's policy, has answered for himself."
......
The Springfield Union: By allowing the President to appoint a man who haa tha
confidence of the people, Mr. Payne can aid the President. By holding on he can hinder
him In the estimation of the people. It is a duty that he owes Mr. Roosevet, who
has stood loyally by him.
New Tork Tribune: The solicitude which some of the Washington dispatches at
tribute to Postmaster-General Payne for the fame of President McKlnley seems un
necessary. If any one wished to attack the memory of the lata President he might
bo expected to make Just that suggestion that "the charge of Mr. Tulloch Is in its es
sence against President McKlnley and Postmaster-General Smith." '
Of course the Postmaster-General has no such thought, but the suggestion attributed
to him may be interpreted as a hint that the lines of inquiry Indicated by Mr. Tulloch
should not be further followed, lest they reflect upon President McKlnley. Even If that
were to be the result of an investigation, it should still be Mr. Payne's sole concern
to unearth whatever was improper In the department, punish all wrongdoers who had
not secured immunity under the statute of limitations, and expose them to public repro
bation as a warning for the future, even if there were no possibility any longer of
criminal prosecutions. It is not a question of delving Into the records of a former admin
istration, but of following to the end, no matter where they lead, the present clews to
wrongdoing, and of not permitting the chase after rascals whom study of the Tulloch
charges might possibly bring In view to be stopped by the Invocation of a great name.
New York World: Responsibility for frauds and abuses In the Postofflce Depart
ment rests primarily upon the head of that department.
For a month and a half Postmaster-General Payne suppressed the report of Gen.
Brtstow, showing beyond question the existence of gross irregularities and (rauds In
the department. To suppression he added detraction characterising the sustained
charges as "hot air," "glittering generalities," "nothing but words." When ordered by
the President to make public this report he sought to throw the blame for the offenses
upon the dead McKlnley and his Postmaster-General.
In the meantime the affairs of the department under his own management have
been so scandalously bad that eight of his chief subordinates have been either removed,
permitted to resign under fire or indicted for defrauding the government, leaving four of
the divisions headless.
If Mr. Payne knew of these scandals and sought to "hush them up" he Is morally
as bad as the detected rascals. If he did not know how his department was being
worked for "graft" and spoils he is Incapable for the responsible post which he holds.
In either case Mr. Payne Is the "man at the top," and he should be made to go
unless the President wishes himself to assume the responsibility for the greatest scandal
ever developed in the Postofflce Department.
St. Louis Post Dispatch: Postmaster-General Payne has shown his utter unfitness
for his high trust and lost the confidence even of his own partisan friends. The depart
ment is full of rottenness and a clean sweep is demanded. Nothing short of the com
plete exposure and punishment of the rascals, a radical change and a re-organization
will satisfy the country,
Chicago Dally News: Everybody knows that the Postofflce Department at Wash
ington has been used for political purposes by national administrations past and present.
The one expert politician who is a member of President Roosevelt's cabinet Is Henry
C. Payne, Postmaster-General. Why?
Because the Postofflce Department has been regarded even by President Roosevelt
as a mighty machine with which to gratify and reward the political workers of the Re
publican party. Because that department was expected, to do something more than
render good service to the people in collecting, transporting and delivering, the mails.
Because It was run In a way pleasing to the great forces which control the votes cast
for Republican candidates at elections which carry primaries and manage conventions.
It is time to be honest'about this whole business. The Postofflce Department has
been run too largely for polltclal effect. Not one administration alone, but many, have
offended In 'this regard. The nauseating rascalities which have been disclosed
of late could not have gone on except for the lax methods and the demoralizing in
fluences which have sprung up from the political seed sown in that department de
llberately and with the full knowledge of the responsible officials of the government.
Chance did not make Henry C. Payne, vice-chairman of the Republican national
committee, the Postmaster-General. Chance did not make Perry S. Heath, secretary of
the Republican national committee, whose Influence in the department has been victous
to an extraordinary degree, an important factor In postal affairs. It Is dishonest, ridic
ulous, to pretend that the dishonesty and demoralization in the Postofflce Department
"just happened." That department has been used deliberately for unworthy purposes.
The administration is being punished as It richly deserves for permitting partisan poll
tics to run riot in a great and important branch of the government.
Washington Times: H. II. Rand, the Postmaster-General's private secretary, must
be taken care of in some way or other. He is represented, upon the authority of Mr.
Payne, as being engaged in conducting an "Investigation." Of whom, or what, does not
appear. This is decidedly novel a man himself under investigation, Investigating some
one else. But nothing that Mr. Payne does surprises us. Anything to beat the govern
ment and to take care of "friends." If Mr. Rand cannot be paid as "assistant superintendent
of the division of salaries and allowances," because he doesn't perform the work, and
because of certain inhibitions of the law why, we can "detail" him upon the order of the
Postmaster-General to conduct a "special Investigation." Truly, Mr. Payne's mind is
wonderfully fertile!
New York World: A morning paper has a long editorial on "The Duty of Mr.
Payne." Two words will define it: "Get out!"
Wall Street Journal:
, The announcement by the president of the
Lewis and Clark Fair that no woman who
was not a holder .of Exposition stock would
be eligible to appointment as a lady commls
sloner was a surprise, and to some aspirants,
a disappointment as well. However, as the
president very kindly pointed out' a modest
amount of Urns and money would remove
this obstacle. . ' ,-v : ' ..',-'a-vI'
Among those earliest mentioned as able io
fill the position with grace and dignity was
Mrs. J. B. Montgomery, of this city, who Is
one of-.ths two women residing" west, of the
Rockies on the Board of Lady Managers for
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
Mrs. Montgomery received her. appoint
ment In March,. 1103, and since then has at
tended four meetings of the board, some
times crossing the continent to do so, ter It
is regarded as an Imperative duty on the
part of every member of the board to be
present at each meeting.
The first time this body of representative
women met an objection was raised to the
name "Board of Lady Managers."
"We prefer to be called women managers,'
they, declared.
Mrs. Montgomery rose. She Is the only
woman on the board who can claim Missouri
as her native state. She was born In
Springfield, and her father, John 8. Phelps,
represented his commonwealth In Congress
for 18 years, and was Governor of Missouri
four years. '
"Ladles," she said, "do you not. remember
that this board was created by an act of
Congress, and we, as members of this board
were appointed under an act of Congress?
This being the case, further discussion re
gardlng a change of name is needless and
vain. We are lady managers, and must so
remain. Even the President himself cannot
modify an act of Congress."
Perhaps no woman better qualified to serve
the public In the capacity of manager for the
St Louis Exposition could have been found
in this part of the world, at least. Birth,
education, social prominence, ability and ex
perience alike fit her for the able discharge
of the duties of a position which is by no
means a sinecure.
In answer to the question, "Do you. repre
sent Oregon on the Board of Lady Man
agers?" she said, "We,, as members of that
board, are national representatives, yet, if
I may be said to stand for any locality, it Is
the West, Oregon and Washington." ,
But in reality, Mrs. Montgomery repre
sents the whole Northwest from Mt. SRasta
to Bering Sea. From the wave-washed
shores of Clatsop to the summit of the Rocky
Mountains.
"It Is like going home," she remarked with
a smile, "to return to St. Louis." Four years
of her early girlhood were spent In that city
In school, in the Convent of the Visitation.
Afterward she was a year in Mile. Roethan's
school on Twenty-fifth , street. New York.
In less than a twelvemonth from the time
she left school she was married, to James B.
' .4' .
Mrs. J. B. Montgomery.
Montgomery of Philadelphia, who at the age
of 22, had edited the Pittsburg Post. In 1870
Mr. Montgomery brought his young wife to
Portland 'and at once fell In love with the
country. The following winter was spent In
Olympla, but In April of the next year they
returned to Portland and purchased a home
on the corner of Seventh andsMadlaon street
which Mrs. Montgomery, now widowed, s
owns. - ,
As her husband was always a promlnen
figure In the commercial life of the city, so
she has been a leader in society and closely
identified with philanthropic interests.
though she disclaims this. "I have alwava
been too busy," she declares.
Mrs. Montgomery Is a woman after Presi
dent Roosevelt's own heart. Mother of
seven children and still young and attractive,
handsome woman with dark eyes, a fine
figure and graciously kind manner, she is cer
tainly a charming and able representative
of the women of the West. With other mem
bers of the Board of Lady Managers, she
was present at the dedication ceremonies at
St. Louis on the first of April this spring.
Of her five daughters, the youngest is now
New York, the eldest is visiting in Ger
many, and one, Mrs. Walter Burrell, Is a
resident of Portland. The older children
were educated in Europe, in France and
Berlin, Mrs. Montgomery having spent five
years abroad for this purpose. Her wide
acquaintance In diplomatic circles and her
prominence as a Daughter of the Revolution
make her appointment particularly appro
priate. It is to be hoped that the Lewis and
Clark Commission will not fail to profit by
the experience which she will have gained in
her present .capacity.
TWO KIN.D8 OF PEOPLE.
(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.)
There are two kinds of people on earth
today,
Just two kinds of people, no more, I say,
Not the sinner and saint, for tls well un
derstood,
The good are half bad and the bad are half
good.
Not the rich and the poor, for to count
man's wealth,
You must first know the state of his con
science and pelf.
Not the humble and proud, for In life's little
span,
Who puts on vain airs is not counted a man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying
years, v
Bring each man his laughter, and each roan
his tears.
No! the two kinds of people on earth
mean, w
Are the people who lift, and the people who
Notwithstanding the general exoneration of Postmaster-
General Payne from personal complicity in the scandals that have been disclosed, there
is a loud call for his retirement from the cabinet. This call comes from quarters that
are, In large measure, free from partisan motive, and that appear to be an expression
of enlightened public sentiment. The Wall Street Journal Joins In this call, t be
lieves that Mr. Payne should retire voluntarily, thus relieving the President from a
position which must be becoming embarrassing to him. But If he does not
retire of his owh accord, the Wall Street Journal is firmly of the opinion that President
Roosevelt should request him to resign. In saying this the Wall Street Jpurnal speaks
as a friend of the administration.
Even If the Iowa Republicans succeed In
eliminating from their convention all con
troversy over the tariff question, they may
not be equally successful in keeping the is
sue out of the national campaign next year.
An Eastern exchange observes that to be
candidate for the vice-presidency Is get
ting to be almost as much'of a distinction as
to have one's name in the city directory.
It would be rather awkward if Russia
should retaliate by protesting against the
negro lynchlngs which have lately become so
frequent in the United States.
A "TEMPLE OF DIVORCE."
So long ago as 1250 the wife of a Japanese regent obtained from the government
permission to rescue w omen from the hands of cruel, husbands.
The means she took were very simple. A new sect of Buddhism known as the Zen
was Just then being formed. In the temple of the Zen a sanctuary was established for
fleeing wives.
When they wished separation or divorce from their husbands they could claim
protection under the wing of the temple. Once' across the threshold, government
officials would not be allowed to interfere, still less the furious husbands.
This "Temple of Divorce" was supreme umpire on matters of matrimonial dis
agreement. The practice of the "privilege of the temple" was maintained for over
650 years in fact, up to the beginning of the present reign.
Wherever you go you will find the world's

And oddly enough you will And, too, I wean,
There is only one lifter to twenty who lean
And which class are you, are you easing the

Of over-taxed lifters who toll down the road,
Or are you a leaner, who let others bear
Your portion of worry, and labor, and care?

When the old doctor went off on his vacation he left his practice In charge of his
son. who had but a few patients of his own. On his return the old man found the
young doctor quite unhappy. Inquiries revealed the fact that business was very bad;
there was nothing doing.
"But, surely!" exclaimed the astonished old doctor, "you must still have that cranky

THE 8 EC RET OF SUCCESS.
"What have you ever done to deserve the confidence of your fellow Citizens?" asked
the man of severe ideals.
"Not much, I'm afraid," said Senator Sorghum, remorsefully.
"Aren't you afraid of being displaced?"
"No. They .sent a man to this position some time ago who failed to give satisfaction.
Then they sent another who was Vorse. Then they sent me, and they Say I'm still worse,

HAS FIVE CAPITALS.
Here is a common geography mistake cor
rected;
"The educators of the Indian territory
should endeavor to educate the various
school-book publishing companies in regard
to the capitals of the Indian country," re
cently, said Tarns Blxby, chairman of the
Dawes commission. "Every geopfaphy pub
lished has Tahlequah as the capital of the
Indian territory. The maps of the territory
in these geographies show scarcely any
other towns. But Tahlequah Is always
played up In heavy black letters, with the
star representing the capital. It is about
time that authors of geopraphies knew
something of the geography , of the Indian
country, and the educators here ought to
draw their attention to the inaccuracies of
the text books on geography.
As a matter of fact, the Indian "territory
proper has no capital, as it is not a regu
larly organized territory. It Is simply the
Indian territory. . .
. The seat of government is Muskogeel Each
of the five civilized tribes, however, has a
capital. Tahleqtftih is the capital of 4he
Cherokee nation, Okmulgee of the Creek na
tion, Tishomingo of the Chickasaw nation,
Wewoka of the Seminole nation, and Tuska
homa of. the Choctaw nation.

"STEAMBOAT BILL."
(By Henry S. Westbrook.)
Main 4-0 and 9-4-0 are closely related
when Central Is busy and things are going
wrong. Another similarity, both numbers
have a Bill. But the two Bills areSio more
alike than black and white. 9-4- Bill Is
young, handsome, impulsive and the husband
of a pretty young wife. Plain 4-0 Bill Is an
easy-going, ugly, premature, premature-bald-headed
bashful bachelor, who never
thought of marriage, much less of having
some anrfeMc voice call him sweet names
over the telephone.
Mrs. 9-4-0 Bill takes down her receiver.
"Number V asks Central.
"9-4-0. please."
Central frowns and switches her to Main
4-0.
4-0 Bill, the steamboat bachelor billing
clerk, drops a bunch of shipping receipts and
takes hold of "his desk phone. ,
"Hello."
"Hello. Bill, this you?"
"lesL said Bill,: Jooking excited. -
"Now darling, you are not angry wl
me, are you? I am so sorry, Bill, but it w
not all my fault, was It dear?"
"But say don't," stammered Bill, losing
consciousness.
Never mind him, Bill, he shall not come
between us. We won't quarrel over him,
will we dear? You know darling, I love you
with all my heart!'.'
"Well hold on you have" pleaded Bill.
"I know it, BU. I ought not spent $40
so recklessly. But I will work over my old
hat and wearmy old gown to make up for it.
You are not angry with your Patsy, are you
