" , .We do not believe there Is the least doubt of it TPorP land has never made any extravagant claims either of population or advantages. That has not been Portland's style. Indeed we have been too much inclined the other .way." But that will.no longer do. What Portland is en titled to, that it must be accorded. It wants no more futit will take no less. If its population is 135,000 itjwill pot stand for .it to-have a. nominally .official, census jgo forth giving it a population of 110,000. . ' : The people of Portland owe a duty to themselves to i resent such a 'census and the proper body to take steps - to remedy it is the chamber of commerce whose duty it Is to see that Portland gets a square deal i Now jthe two .paving companies are at loggerheads, tf nnc sets a contract the other will apply for an injunc tion restraining it from doing the work, and vice versa.

Witte cannot speak English is that accredited to the Tananeaa-envova.that they hoped the nego tiations would be carried on in English, because they could hot apeak French. : Except that so, well informed a newspaper aa the. Washington Post treats the statement seriously we would have supposed it was. some para grapher'a or reporter's Joke. It seems absurd that a dip lomat, a 'leading one of his country, one sent an such a mission as this of Japan's' should , not be able to speak French, the diplomatic language ot tne worm. xnsi Witte fcannot sneak Emrtfth is remarkable; that Komura cannot speak French, if these reports be true, is aston- For centuries the French has been the favorite, it might almost be said the exclusive, diplomatic language of the world.' 1n no other language, -we have been led to suppose, can a courtier pay so well-embellished a com pliment, or so disguise' bis real meaning.- i was-a Frenchman,' Talleyrand, who said that language wasa means of concealing ideas. !

In the first half of the last century no one could make a satisfactory tour of the continent unless he could speak French, bui now this mcnuirement is not necessary. Most of those, to whom the tourists need to "address themselves understand and sufficiently for practical purposes speak English. These foreigners have indeed in large measure learned their Enirlish from American, employes ;and tourists. In Germany the English language ia considered an essential nart of a business education. Knowledge of our lan guage is spreading thrdughout Europe; next to their own it is the favorite in Japan; the activity of the British ia Africa. and India has spread their language in those vast regionsr and wherever an Englishman or American may go, except in remote or rural districts, he will hear or at least can be understood in, his mother tongue.-. But to come back to the envoys, it will be a little em barrassing, one would suppose, for the envoys of two nations to discuss the grave matters to be considered i when none of -them of one nation understands any lan- guage known to tne ouier. -wuie can pc. m ruih and French, Komura in Japanese and English.

WHERE EVERYBODY CANT MARRY. - I NDIANA has a marriage license law that it might be "well for legislators of other atates to consider. Ap .'nlicant for marriage license in Indiana have to answer a good many pointed and perhaps pertinent and proper questioned Besides , exacting statements as,, to age, birthplace, nativity of parents, etc., the Indiana law goes farther, and asks whether any prior marriage or marriages have been dissolved, and, " if so, how and when? Then the contracting parties are asked if they have any contagious or transmissible disease, as, epilepsy, tuberculosis, etc; also as to their mental condition. An other line of questions propounded ia whether either party has been an inmate of any county asylum or home for indigent persons within five year,.- The male appli cant is asked if he is able to support a family, and, if so, whether he is likely to continue to be able to do so. If he lias no occupation, he is asked point-blank what means he has ta support a iamilyThese question must be answered and sworn to, and the license is issued only in case the answers are satisfactory. - ,v - i Tq many.people seeking to enter the state of matri mony these questions will seem impertinent if ribt in sulting, but since so many persons marry who are not fit to become parents of children, to say nothing of mak ing a respectable showing" as husband and wife,. we think the Indiana law is a good one for other states to adopt Marriage among persons fit to marry is to be en couraged, of courie, but the chances arc many to one that the person who cannot fmwser these .questions sat isfactorily is not fit to marry, and that their progeny will 'cost more. thto Jlhey come to." ' contention Mary should get her decree.. Charlie can doubtless cite many instances of white men -whose ex ample he is following, who while laughing at women s vanity demand that their wives shall abate nothing of Fashion's decrees, and other who go farther and require or desire that their wives shall be diligent and ambitious enbugh. to earn the requisite ' of civilization for two. But these cases are not the rule, nor on all-fours with Charlie's, and Carlisle did not make him a good philos ophef.- If he wants Mary Yellow.

Marie, -or as, , , popularly called for short the -"Soo" canal, was celebrated. This canal is. the gateway of traffic from Lak Superior to the other great lakes,-affording; con tinuous water navigation from Duluth 'to Buffalo and to -the Sf Lawrence river. ." Dug through impassable rapids, vthe canal has a .larger traffic passing through it than any other water passageway in the world, and is an impressive demonstration of the vast value of .water com munication wherever possible. ? c -V 1 ; The first governor of Michigan, Stevens T. Mason, be gan the agitation for this . canal as early as 1839. He sucwrted-hr getting a' state' appropriation,' but'the .pro- Tec t was stopped --by-federal authority because of tres- ' -i . . f . . . . r, . pass on a military rescrvauon. Aiwr ycr oi. inuri, congress was induced to grant 750,000 acres of govern ment land in aid of the canal, and it was begun in 1852 by the state. The two locks necessary for a navigable passage were constructed within two years at a cost of less than a million dollars, and were then the largest in the world, being 350 feet long, 100 feet wide and 13 feet deepV ' Iu 1881 the canal was transferred, to the federal government, and a new lock 515 feet long, 80 feet wide and 16 feet deep was built: at va, cost -of $2,18Q,000.-"Fiv years later another lock 800 feet long, 80 feet wide and 21 feet deep .was constructed- -In -1895 th. connecting Canadian canal with its 1,000-foot lock was completed, making a complete exchange of traffic without discrim ination or tolls. . The traffic in the decade 1855-64 was 1,200,000 tonsrin the ' decade 1895-1904 it was 253r- 000,000 tons The freight chsrge per ton per, mile has been reduced from 23 mills to .81 mills since 1887. . The principle early, freight was iron ore, which" had been discovered in the upper peninsula of Michigan in 1844, the first shipment being 132 tons, to Cleveland. The amount shipped the first year was 1,449 tons, the second year 36,346 tons, in 1860,114,401 tons, in 1873 over one- million tons, in 1881 over, two million' tons, and the amount has been steadily increasing, so that one third of the total shipments since iron ore was dis covered have been 'moved through' the canal within the past five years, and three fourth of it all during the past 10 years. -' -. ,'- L' . ;' v ; .

S1 HOUtD A MAN determined to be idle be made to ' work if he commits no positive crime f Idleness is not a crime under the law, though persistent and chronic idleness may be a large element in the Crime of . vagrany.....Tboretically 11 men able to .work should work somehow, but many will not. , If a man who will not work has plenty of money to live on. he is not only tolerated but envied and admired. But if a man who will not work has "no visible means of support,", arid exists as he can off the world without paying for the few simple' necessaries for his subsistence, he is a hobo and is told to move On, and sometimes is made to workon a rock-pile.- In hobo ethics this may seem unfair, providing th hobo does not-actually steal, only asks for things which cost the -donors practically nothing. H might argue, not without considerable plausibility, that he has aa good a Tight to live jn idleness-if he. does not steal a tha rich man who will neither work nor use his money profitably to society; and that so long aa nobody who helped him to eke out a humble existence made any spe cific .complaint .against, him his hoboism was none of society's or the law's business. He might go farther and urge the argument that hoboism was a benefit to men who want and get moneybecause the more men there are who will pot work and do not atrive for more than a dime or quarter occasionally, the better chance there is for the men who want to work and those who want much money. ' So. he might conclude that the more hobos there are the better off, workers and money maker are, and that therefore they should be kind tojthe idle poor and appreciate their value in th ' country. ,T" i '.". J, . Having thius given the hobo a fair hearing, and pre sented hi side of the Case, we are still inclined to think that the physically strong man who persists in idleness, in . loafing, in trampingandsponging, ij?, supplicating handouts and. dimes for bed or beer, at a time and in a region where he can not only obtain work at good wages but when and where his work is needed, should be treated, aa a vagrant, an evil creature that should be made to work by the" authorities and permitted to. starve by people with food and money.; " - TV ; f i : l ! ; . , For one thing, the chronichorx of which there are welV defined classes or grades, each with name in hobo dialect will steal if he gets a chance and is . very hungry or dry. Not much, perhaps, only some article of slight value, but this is theft all the same; and the brighter and more audacious of them will pass from this to pick pockets, burglars, and perhaps hold-up men. - But even if thev-remain in the lower and more innocent ranks of hobodom, they are more or less a nuisance, and form a large dirty spot on that cosmopolite and conglomerate mass known generally as Society. ?',: .''-": ". i :'' fust now there ia an urgent demand in the Willamette valley, .in the .mountain' regions,- in eastern Oregon' and Washington and indaho, for stout men to work. v And in every town of considerable (ice may be found a con siderable and in some instances a large number of these unwashed and unrespected defiers of the law: "In the sweat of thy brow ahalt thou earn thy bread." . - -The Spokane Chronicle says: ."In spite of a brisk and urgent demand for labor, there are aaid to be hundreds of idle men in Spokane.

Charlie Smallman, asksjbr a divorce on the ground that he requires her to wear corsets and high-heeled. ahoesnd other articles of apparel worn by white women, which she ay fthe.wiU not do. , , From , this incident the inference may be drawn though ; one1 awallow doesn't ; make .. . a , , summerthat hinder Charlie's education -converted him to the white man' tastes and habits more than Mary Yellow Calf .educa tion did to the tastes and habits of her paleface sister. It would be interesting to investigate this and ascertain whether thi be he case as a -rule.
