Farther south of us, extending from Salt Lake, is the new Western Pacific which George Gould fathers and on which nearly all the construction contracts have, it is said, already been let; Thi Jmtu,would parallel the old Centrals Pacific into San Francisco. Its eastern terminus would .land .into 'the Rio Grande, a Gould road, at Salt .Lake, or possibly the Moffat road now building from Denver - which is the shortest and most direct route to the Mormon capital, therefore 6 me thing to take into consideration in these days .when quick time is so important a consideration. Out of Salt Lake funs the San Pedro road to Los.An- ; sreles. Originally projected by Senator Clark of Mon tana it was believed to' have passed under the practical ' control ot the Harriman people for a . term of 10 years. It looked for a time as though Clark had been eliminated and just what his actual status now is with reference to the road is not entirely clear. These two facts- are eer itatn, that the relations between? Clark and Harriman are Do longer cordial and that Clark has 'emerged from the .eellarand apparently become as great a factor as hejrver "eras' n thetontrotTif thtrroad. IfthirT true another interest inimical to Harriman is created that, working in conjunction' Irith the Western Pacific and the .Moffat road out of, "Denver, would give the shortest routes from the Colorado capital not only to San Francisco but to, Los Angeles as welI.';?v1,v-V ','.."

Its natural outlet on the coast is Portland. Siearfilv it has been edging in this direction.' .Now that so many other railroads are awakening it would not be at all surprising to see the St. Paul show some signs of genuine activity.- - . .

GLADDEN AND TAINTED MONEY. E R.5 GLADDEN will get quite hearing yet, even it some other preacher quoted the threadbare .hriic that "the incident is closed." Mr. Glad den made the atrongest possible i presentation of his taie, and one not to be either ignored or despised, wnen lie said; The rnisaionary board most not solicit sub scriptions from persons who are conspicuous enemies of ociety.;,It is a bitterutBUiatsucn a ciass crisis THE HARVEST MONTH, HE VACATION SEASON Is ended for the average vacationist. The summer -is past, and the , harvest ended or nearly so.

Rockefeller for: if not. technically' a Doctor ot Divinity, we believe he is somewhat of a re ligious or each er and teacher. And if Dr. Gladden had been possessed of Dr. Rockfeller's talents and ambition for acquiring money, might not Dr. Gladden have been as rich a man as Rockefeller, and in the same way? And if Rockefeller had become a preacher instead of an 'oil king, might he not then have sneered. and scoffed at proffered Gladden money? v ; . ' A great deal depends on the, point of view, and the circumstances that have shaped the v point. " But we think that nearly everybody looking for gifts will con . tintie to take money from any and every source possible, and will make no inquiries about the sources and chan nels of its acquirement.

' All this is so true and so important that Dr. Gladdeh I entitled to-a considerate hearing ;. yet be sayi that only solicited and conspkuous contributions are tainted. He" here betrays the lack of logic almost universally exhibited by preachers. If a gambler, a courtesan, a robber; puts in money. to the cause without being so licited, it is clean enough; but if-the same person is "so licited" for the money, and it iapubjiclx secured, it is tainted," and must be rejected.

APTAIN HENDERSON, of the Star of Bengal suggests that the ocean tugs at Astoria should cruise outside the bar, as is done elsewhere, for the benefit of the incoming ships. He is-' not the first toakfclhioametfticisntrr only or the worst criticism alleged. When sailing vessels arrive off the mouth -of the river the fact is signaled in to Astoria but no signal comes in response from the light- house to the vessel. ' It has no means of knowing the condition of the bar or whether or not the tug is coming out All that it can do is' to hover about that vicinity until nightfall and then hurry out to sea. -In some in stances several days are lost in this way, not to mention the worry and annoyance to the captains and the crews.

Preparations for this event have been painstaking and thorough." If any one has conceived the notion that it is an easy matter to ar range a great exhibition of horses, cattle, sheep,, hogs and other animals, from the four quarters of the earth, let him interview M. D. Wisdom, manager of the coming. show, and learn better. ; - ,' ' - For months Mr. Wisdom and his staff have been work Ing actively in the interest of the livestock show. There was a vast amount of detail 'to be looked after.-; From the outset the jgeneral public has shown a deep interest in th'e. enterprise, and-stockmen have become convinced that their present opportunity lies here. A a conse quence,, there is now gathering upon the neck of the government peninsula at the exposition grounds, where the show is to be held, the most notable array of fine horses arid cattieyer jeenesljDHheosVX-rnountains. These are- not .merely western horses . and tattle. Though the great west noted for its fine stock, is fit tingly represented, there are important entries from the east and the south, .and even from the north as far up aS the thriving cities in British Columbia. : ; . Horsemen in . particular appear to have become con vinced that in this show lies their chance to win golden laurels. They have, sent to Portland their finest speci mens of horseflesh. In. the big exhibition arena these handsome animals will be put through their paces for the delectation of the -crowds assembled, and forlOjdays there wiiresdmeth ing doing alithe time'Hri tlve way of horse shows. A horse show never fails to bring out soeiety peo'ple-in:all-4heif-plendorrnd theHoneat-Port- landtsexpected to be no -exception to .the rule. . But those who probably will get the most enjoyment out o: the show are the average people who love horses for their own sake, to whom the sight of a splendid animal either in repose or action is something of an inspiration. The horse-lover, male and female, from city and from farm, will be in Portland during the coming 10 days. All classes of cattle are entered for. the 'competitions, and amongst the number are some, famous specimens. The competition tor prize will be close and exciting. Portland bids cordial welcome to all the horsemen and cattlemen who ' hjYe brought their best specimens of animals to participate in mis nig -snow, tne greatest ot its kind ever held in tne west. i spice of life. It is fragrant of fruits, redolent of autumn wine, tinged with the burnished glory of a departed summer, magnificent with dower of the frutrile earth, musical with voices that sweep the seas and make the land tremble.

It is important that the law prohibiting the sale of liquor to minors be observed by saloon-keepers. Many saloon-keepers, most of them, we hope, would hot sell liquor to minors. . But there are those who do, and they should ,bejiejd to a strict accountability for this criminal and vicious act. In' a case tried .Friday - in - the municipal court a saloon-keeper was convicted of. this serious offense, and hjj attorney gave notice that he would appeal the case and rh a higher court seek "to beat the ordinance pro viding that a saloon proprietor shall be responsible for the illegal acts of his employes. . It is clear that this is a good and necessary ordinance, and ought to stand. The defendant and his attorney in this case have a right to test the ordinance it is for the higher courts, not for a newspaper, Jo decide and declare the law; but it is entirely clear'to The Journal, as'we think it must be to every -intelligent. crcditabUcitiaenthat-the-ordfnance should oe sustained. . If a saloon proprietor is not to be held responsible for the criminal acts of his employes, then this and every other ordinance for the regulation of the retail sale of liquor are practically dead letters. A millman, a mine owner, a railroad corporation, are held responsible for the -CTinTmaf oTeven -negligent acts orerelictions';of duty of their employes.; why opt the saloon-keeper, whose .business is recognized to be so dangerous that special laws have to be passed for its regulation? - The saloon proprietor, not the public., employs his bartenders. He is supposed to give them instructions sjrictly to observe the laws regulating the conduct 'of a saloon. Whether the bartender is not thus instructed and is ignorant of the law which none,of(them are or whether the employer viciously snd criminally instructs his employes to 'violate the law, is immaterial. . It is the proprietor, the man who deals with the public and gets a license, who engages in business under certain con ditions, who is' responsible, and must be held responsible if the law js violated. k ' We are not instructing or advising the courts, but we know that reason and right' demand that this ordinance FRANCIS B.

In course of tlmo thia dafact wit; remedied. He married a woman who was very well to do. and from that time bagan. to plan to get Into the gov ernment service. He Anally succeeded in becoming min ister to Venesuela, It waa while he was serving in thia capacity that the United States came to the verge of a clash with Venesuela over the asphalt trust ease. Mr. Loomla' dlspatohea to hia government eapouaed the truet'e aid of the case, and were mainly responsible for the aomewhat bullying attitude which the United States waa led Into taking at that time."

He aaid at the time that he had taken the poat because he waa tired of Venesuela, and the climate did not agree with him.-, It waa understood at the time that' ha" was persona non grata to the Venesuelan government because of hla support of the aaphalt trust. For a long time he had no opportunity to distinguish himself. One came when the Panama revolution waa Incited from Washington. The . telegreme from "Loomla. Acting," , became celebrated. Hla seal led him to Indiscretion, how ever, for he committed the error of noti fying the American diplomatic represen tative that a revolution waa proceeding some houra before It had actually begun. Next he, delivered a speech In New Tork which waa apparently Intended to please Roosevelt Thia speech eulogised the president's Panama policy, but It waa ao exaggerated aa to draw forth a chorus of ridicule all over the eountry, for in It Loomla told how the violent establishment of the republic of Pan ama was necessary to prevent a general European war. - - ' " .

"Walt until the rea-lmenta in Man. ehuria begin to come back to European nusnia. nee wnat win happen then! The present atrlkea and riots are mere bonfires compared with the conflagra tion which the returning soldiers win set going." Thus Spoke one of. the "revolutloners" that I met in 8t Peters burg. Others who are not "revolution era," either paaaive or active, are also fearful of what will happen when the Manchurlan soldiers' return. They any: "These men have seen the world and beard much. 1 They have alae- suffered. Scattered again among their different villages, and free to tell of what they have been through, they will become firebrands In districts , already over heated. Whether the government will then be able te hold the revolters In Check is doubtful. The army once In fected with seditious ldeaa, the csar end his whole retinue had better pack up and clear out." I do not agree with thoae who think that the return of the Manchurlan armlea will mean revolu tion. It will mean a change, to be sure. In the methoda of .thinking of millions of people; but I believe that even the new methoda f thinking will not deter the soldiers from quelling riots and In surrections when ordered to do so. The Russian soldier is an automatie crea ture;" hla mind and body act by order. The war In the east will hardly have been sufficients to change him so com pletely that . henceforth- he -will -disregard commands. -On the contrary, It may very easily have accentuated his submission to rules and regulations. These are the essential Indications against' an immediate revolution which my preliminary surveye of the situation In Russia have brought to light: The "revolutloners" with whom I conferred passed, lightly over them. They think that the signs of coming trouble are1 much more readily seen than are those of peace and quiet. They do not attempt to aay when the revolution will break out In full fdree.- "It may not come for IS years," one of them, admitted. But that' something Is coming, some day.
