': PREVENTED IT IS THROUGH NO FAULT of. the Oregoniari that the proposed amendments to the city charter were not forced oil Jhe people of IhJ city, by legislative 7Zinctment:' instead of being submitted to popular vote. Shortly before the countyr election Of last year it be--came known that plans were-em foot, to make some Im portant amendments to the charter by act of the legisla-lure,-without .a reference to the people. -The Journal promply enterel a strong protest against all such charter .tinkering" by the legislature and "demanded that all pro "posed changes in the charter must.be submitted to the Toters for adoption or rejection. - .irj -'7? In pursuance of. this end The' Journal called upon tvery candidate' for the legislature from this county, httheTi Republican or Democrat, to. show1 his 'colors on ' this issue. Through the columns of this paper the peo - j'C: 'er ..warned, of '.the scheme that was. on foot, and ; public" sentiment was "quickly aroused."" In a " mass fneeting held in 4tre; Empire theatre .a resolution was adopted that "all amendments to the charter. before be- coming effective, should be submitted to' a vote of the ' people oMhecityiorjidoptiOn 6r - - .fait of The Journals campaign, in defense of the charter, all tut five of the 37 candidates for the legislature were "placed on record and from the great majority of them i pledges-were secured that- they would oppose charter tinkering by the legislature. " j-.. """-"What:' was' the "attituderbrUie" Oregonian?Tlt-had ' Openly advocated a' legislative amendment changing the ' time of city elections, and that, too, without 'submitting the amendment to popular vote.; When the legislative . candidates were called on to show their colors and to say hetherJhey.'weTelQt)r against legislating changes-into ""jthe charter, the Oregonian termed it "impudence and gall to make such a. demand upon themT It had only sneers for the people's demand ithat changeainthfc. tharter should be made by the voters, not by tlje legisla ture, So far as the Oregonian was concerned, the legis lature might tinkcr-with the charter as much as it chose, Tti-ampling at willpn the. peopled rights.. .:, CARNEGIE'S HERO FUND MANY EDITORS and paragraphers pokefunat the Carnegie hero, fund scheme when U-was an-. . ,.T,." Bounced last year, and 4t was assumed that the list of applicants would be such a numerousand motley lot that tip design must fail because of jtt, own inherent absurdity; but Mr. Carnegie is a coot-headed as well as a long-headed business man, and had planned more thor oughly and skillfully than his critics were aware. He appointed a commission to determine who 'were en titled to awards, which met last week at Pittsburs-and -considered- all cases presented and madehine" awards. The commission outlines the specific acts of 'heroism nhich it r.ecogniie.s as entitled to rewards of medals or. money, pr both, and its report indicates careful investi gation and discerning judgment.. Here are some of the .cases'::'; r... , : ''.'X::.";. Gideon jCIng 'fanll, a f ai i1 ml r i fii !

A silveTpmedal was ( awarded to his widow,, and she was paid $500 with . which to liquidate a mortgage upon her home, Mrs. ' Lucy D. Leighton was awarded a' bronze medal and' $600 in recognition of the. heroism of her hus- . band. Seymour J. Leighton, who., was drowned while, ""trying lo save two girls who had been swept over ' a waterfall in a' canoe near Lawrence, Masachusetts. . ' Miss Ernestine P. Atwood, a schoolgirl of Melrose, ' ' Massachusetts, was awarded a silver. medal and $500 for educational pnrposeifor -; sisvinj-the life of a " bather in. the ocean i at -North- WeymouthMassa ". . chusetts. ' Mrs. Cora B. McCann, of Portland, Maine, , received a bronze medal and $600 with which to pay )' .off a mortgage, her husbjtnd having rescued a boy - from drowning at the cost of his own life. 's j ? fiieitt, cases indicate the generaHntention joLMiu Car regie and the scope of his scjieme.l. Surely it is a praise worthy sort of charity to, aid a por widow whose husband lost his life in a heroic effort to save others. Certainly there must have been more than nine almost equally de- serving cases within a year, but the commission probably selected as a beginning only those they deemed best en titled to the benefaction.

Centennial Exposition has been auspiciously opened. The management, if vested with that privilege and power, could scarcely have devised and ordered a'more perfect day, especially as it followed a day and night of heavy clouds and rain; " The opening program was carried "out without any inopportune incident. The speakers were all in good form, spoke well, and their great audience all who could hear and even th3se who cpuld not were in sympathy with them. The grounds are in good shape, and most of the exhibits and attractions are in order. Those who have attended the opening of other expositions at "Chi cago, Omaha, Buffalo and St. Louis say that none of ' 'them were so nearly feadytjn such a condition of com pleteness, as this -exposition wasyesterday. - " - ' A good many states were there, the nation was there, officially.

SOME of our , -esteemed Republican state corw temporaries are grumbling and- growling a good deal, about the "persecution" of certain Oregon statesmen,, the removal of "faithful" federal officers, the controlling influence of "carpetbaggers," and the prej udice and implacability of Secretary Hitchcock. These newspaper brethren, who have run faithful organs for many years, see everything crumbling about them and are surprised if not wroth. - Dear brethren, did yovL hear. aboutthe-5quareJDcal? Ym. Rut ynu didn't know that a square deal in many cases in Republican, circles meant aKewI)ealr No. no Square Deal with thre People except through a New Deal of Republican office-holders. Try to comprehend that fact.. So thinks one Theodore Roosevelt, evidently. Now, brethren, every time you censure the new. deal you are attacking not Ileney, nor Hitchcock, but the president of the United States. 1 The illuminations at the fair grounds last evening have never been surpassed at any exposition ever before held in the country. It was not alone the illuminations but the surroundings of water casting back their .reflection in myriad variations that conspired to present a scene of beauty which was absolutely bewildering in its enchant ment. "Portland left nothing to the advantage even of Buffalo which made of its electrical features its greatest drawing card and when this is said nothing further is left to be said in-praiseDf what has beeri'done at the Lewis and Clarlc fair. ...-'i - ; 1 - -' ...

The many navy officer who make the Occidental hotel, their headquarter ar taking keen Interest In the three scout cruisers which, have Just been- ordered built for Uncle -Sam' navy. They are of a type which have never before been constructed In the United State and It I only lately, , these navy officer say, that they have been- introduced into the British navy. The navy officers eay the new vesael must have a high rat of speed, for It will be their duty to touch and run, so to speak, or to observe and then flee beyond the chance or pursuit. Their place will be In front of the armored cruiser line, and their duty to search out and keep In tmteh with the- enemy, note hlB strength snd formation and signal by. wireless or convey tali Information o the armored; cfaiaetg, which la turn will signal it to the battle- hi atlll fiirlhar in tha rear. ' Between the 'three American scouts and the eight which Great Britain na projected there I a marked difference In appearance and design. The British vessel is smaller, . carries much less coal and becauea of tt low freeboard tonBHtcauu ' than ttiu 1 tJP adopted en thla aid of the Atlantic, Whether the former will prove- the faater vesael remalna to be aeen. ' The British" type vessel of thla' class, they state, la the Sentinel, a 1,000 racer, which haa the appearance of an en larged destroyer. . The American scout type, on the other hand, resembles an armored cruiser of the Brooklyn type. The higher freeboard of the American type, which I to be la feat forward and 21 feet afr, will render' it far more eon aptcuous than the British seouts, but It I said that tha ' American racer, will have a greater degree of tanchneea and an ability to- keep the aeaa longer than can their prototype, building In the Eng. Hsh shipyards. ! ( HALL CAINE ON HALL GAINING- - y Ambrose Bleroe. " (0rrlf htJ0(V . bj tha - Smar)caa-Jeeraa t' .Buminer.)
