OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF PORTLAND
RICHARD IS HIMSELF AGAIN.
THE PRESIDENT gave a remarkable example of
self repression almost amounting to self ef
tacement at certain periods, of the national cam
paign. The letter of acceptance left nothing to be de
sired in the way of vigor of expression or boldness of
attitude. Then there was a king interim of apparent in
action to be broken like a thunderclap in the closing
hours of the campaign when he called a spade a spade
in his denunciation of the charge that Secretary Cor
telyou, after having got the inside works of the corpora
tions as bead of the department of commerce, used that
. . r r r - ..I,..., I, . . i nl-i.-.rl
knowledge lor tat trying puipuacs whcu
at the head of the Republican national committee. But,
as a whole, he kept himself in the background in a most
surprising manner and those who knew him best could
pot fail to appreciate at the full the effort i must have
cost him. .
But he is making up for lost time. He has already
made at least three formal public addresses, all of them
good, by the way, and now the proof that nothing of his
strenuosity has been lost is made palpable by the cir
cumstance that the esteemed Professor Donovan, the
boxing expert, has been invited to put in an appearance
at the president's home to get Mr. Roosevelt mto phys
ical fettle and incidentally to start one of the boys on
the right road. It was probably realized that too many
evidences of strenuosity during the campaign would
give some color to the charges that in reality Mr. Roose
velt was the modem man on horseback, an impression
which could not fail to do his canvass some damage
among the oonservativa business people of the country.
But what is bred in the bone will come out. Strcn

THE V. 8. A. "AMERICAN."
SIR EDWARD CLARK, of all occasions on a
Thanksgiving day banquet by the American so
ciety in London, grew sarcastic over the term
"American ambassador," as implying dominance by the
United States over the whole American continent when,
as a matter of fact. Great Britain bad a greater terri
toiial power here than those who arrogated the title.
1 When John Hay was sent as representative of the
United States to the court of St. James, some of the
.London papers spoke derisively of the allusion to htm
as the American ambassador. They suggested the con-
,i, miM aria, lirranse the whole hemis
phere, north and south, was American and any state
within its contines na just as mucu ngni ia --
mated American as naa uncie oaro uub-i-.
And yet the fact remains that foreigners are more
to blame for the exclusive designation of the United
States as America than are the people of the United
States themselves. The term "citizen of the United
States" is so awkward in use that most people at once
cut the gordian knot and speak of us as Americans.
English writers do and have done the same from Dick
ens and Mr. TroHope te Kipling, and how uniformly
and painstakingly critical, by the way, they have all
been The dominant nation on this side of the water,
furthermore, is the United States. A Canadian designa
tion fully covers our neighbors to, the north and a Mex
ican our neighbors to the south. In South America the
name of the republic seems always to have fully, covered
the case. By common consent we have fully earned
the title; it is ours by right of pre-eminence, but it is
ours still more by right of usage and handy designation.
But no claim had ever been set up to t until recently
when instructions went forth, and very properly, too
from the state department that representatives of the
government hereafter refer to themselves as "Amer
ican" representatives. There was nothing else for them
to do; circumstances have thrust the title upon them
and no other nation is so well fitted by common con
sent to wear it. American it has been and American it
will always rerasin. There may be others but THE
American lives under the Stars and Stripes.
TWO TYPES OF RICH MEN.

Oa this Occasion he suddenly and unexpectedly called
all at once for $30,000,000, which sent the price of call

COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON INDUSTRY.
THE RECENT REPORT of the state fish warden
is deprived of much of the interest that would
otherwise attach to it, and his recommendations
are likely to receive less consideration than they ab-
..... . ,J i- a: a
stractly deserve, Because, as everyoouy Knows, n.
not enforce, or make any attempt to enforce, the closed
season law last summer. The result was a fairly large
instead of a small catch of chinook salmon, but other
results are following. One of them has already ap
peared in a scarcity of eggs at the Ontario and other
hatcheries, which must necessarily result in a decrease
of salmon entering the Columbia river within a few
years. The situation is a grave one, and worthy of most
careful consideration by the next legislature. If last
season's record is to form a precedent, if we cannot hye
a dosed season on the Columbia then, in all probability,
it will not be many years until this royal fish, the best
food fish that swims, will disappear from these waters
even as his cousins disappeared many years ago from
north Atlantic coast streams.
The excuse made by the fish warden is that fishing
is carried on on the Washington side of the river, over
which he has no jurisdiction; that the fish warden of
that state habitually neglects to enforce the closed sea
son law there; and that therefore to enforce our law
would be a great injury to Oregon fishermen without
protecting the fish. Tbs is peculiarly the Astoria view
of the case, and it makes, an influential if not convincing
appeal to most of the people of the state, not including
the owners of fish wheels up the Columbia. Yet we
think that even under the aggravating circumstances
mentioned by Mr. Van Dusen, he is not excusable for
not enforcing the law. As a stfcte officer, charged with
the enforcement of the law, he haTbut 6ne line of duty,
and it-was simple and plain. He is not responsible for
the misfeasance of the Washington warden, but only for
his own acts, and. to merit final approval they must be
acts in support and execution of the Oregon law. He
need look no further than this; -he cannot be censured
for the consequences if he thus acts.
Repeated, indeed almost if not quite biennial efforts
have been .made for the past 16 or 18 years to secure
the co-operation of the Washington legislature and
authorities, but so far without much success. They
seem to think the Columbia river an Oregon stream,
1 fi.kitio therein an )reron industry, and
aiiu oa 1 n.w 1. ........ b 1 1 11 . -
that whatever Washington people can catch is clear

A GREAT AMERICAN ARMY.

--1 t. .t,.n,.,ivM In all our cities there are a con
siderable number of children, especially those of foreign
born parents, who do not attend school, or do not attend
enough, and they need looxing axter.
While the total number attending school last year
was 18,187,9x4, ss stated, the totsl number of children
between 5 and 18 years of age was 2a.500.ooo, showing
that over 4,300.000 did not attend school. This is
partly accounted for by the absence from school of those
over f6, who have gained the rudiments of an education
and have gone to work, and by those a little over 5 who
are not considered quite old enough to send to school,
so that the showing made is a good one, is one that
cannot be made by any other people in the world's
history; and yet the percentage of non-attendants
should decrease in future. Give all the children at least
the rudiments of an education; nay, compel them to
acquire the elements of information and knowledge im
parted in the public schools.

pound married life gives this advlos to young
womsn:
Don't marry a man to reform him. It
can't be done unless hs ts under '23.
Ths women who permits her heart to
rule her head makes a sad mistake.
If a girl loves a man. no matter how
selfish or dissipated he may be, ahe
plunges Into matrimony with bsr eyes
closed.
No woman should ever depend entirely
on her husband for happiness. It is
folly, and leads always to heartache A
married woman should have a life apart
from bsr husband.
Let her ksep sweet and true and lov
able, but beyond a certain point she
should not venture, lest she lose her In
dividuality In her husband'e, with the
reeult that he will Impose on her.
Beware ot a man with an ungovern
able temper, and almost all men are en
dowed with this quality.
Shun ths man who drink to excess,
for It Is a habit that leads to wretched
ness. Avoid slso the man who la selfleh, the
man who considers always his own inter
ests before those of his wife
All men are fickle, and It depends on
the wife's power to held them,
