I V with the, -events of the past four yeara in Portland un deratanda full well the animui of the Oregonian's " utterances con cerning public utility franchise end the framing of the present city charter.' No intelligent man can en tertain for moment the idea that the Oregonian is actuated by seal for the public welfare or by indignation at wrongs committed against the com munity. The hollow hypocrisy of its pretenses ia almost . too ' patent to ,: need statement. - - . ' Truth and sincerity and honest deal ing hare no part in guiding the course , of the Oregonian. No corporation ' and no individual was" jever more hamelesly grasping, more recklessly indifferent to the rights f " othefsT v For a generation the people of Ore gon hare been robbed by this journal istic brigand in ways too numerous to enumerate. A notorious instance was ,. the. huge steal which it accomplished half a do-en years ago when in a aingle year it wrung from the people ; of Multnomah county over $30,000 in ' delinquent tax advertising, every dol lar of the money , being virtually stolen from the taxpayers. -"v . The city, charter which the ' Ore gonian ia now assailing is the same city charter which Harvey W. Scott helped to frame, of which he said in public four years ago that it was the result of 'thorough and conscientious laborT- and. which the Oregonian in doraed in the following .unequivocal language! The charter to be Submitted to the voters of Portland In Monday's elec- .. tion should not be overlooked. It is a product of careful study, of pains taking, disinterested and intelligent " industry. It 'embodies the results of in municipal government, end the Oregonian be lieves it, as a whole, worthy of the acceptance of the people." It ia weak and childish folly for the Oregonian to pretend now that ia waa , deceived as to the provisions of the city charter. , The deliberations of ' the charter; board extended over nine - - months and - the proceedings were published at length in the columns of the Oregonian and its evening edition, then the only papers in Portland. It is' equal folly to pretend that the charter was framed by any clique, ma--chine-or politicalfactionrf6rthe t charter board was non-partisan and included the moat jepresentative cit izens of Portland, men of all parties . ' and of widely divergent views. ,;; The franchise which . the ' Ore gonian is now fiercely denouncing : were granted in January, 1903, after ' being before the council and under discussion for . about four - months. . The Journal waa the only paper in Portland to raise a . protest against - granting such valuable rights without more adequate compensation to the city. ' The Oregonian. with full knowledge of all the facts, with pre ' sumably H juster appreciation than " the average-ekieen-eould-possess of the possible value of the franchises, .' . said . editorially: w--V-?-;' 1 ',,,::,..t "The blanket franchise agreed upon , between the city authorities and the Portland Consolidated streetcar sys tem is one that will be looked back upon with pride by. every participant in its framing. : The city officials have served the public well, and the streetcar people themselves have set an example which entitles them to the honor of pioneers ia an inevitable era of profit sharing by the city in cor-J porate enterprises." . ). What is the explanation of the ex traordinary change which has taken place in the Oregonian's view of these - - important matters! The reason is Jo plain that it hardly needs to be stated. ' ' Three-years ago the. Oregonian be lieved itself securely supreme In the , field which it had occupied for half a century. ' It feared no rival, it dread ed no critic. It counted upon the in definite continuance of its huge profits. But in these expectations it reckoned without The Journal " ... ' Year by year, month- by month The 'Journal has forged steadily ahead, v,5.ile the Oregonian aa stesdily has I -t ia business, la circulation end ia public esteem. The grafts by which Mr. Scott and Mr. Pittock have been enriched, have been unsparingly ex posed and the public has learned to know the true character of the news paper which they run. Smarting under-exposure and disgrace, angered and dismayed by the heavy inroads which .The "Journal is ' making, Uney have turned upon every man who has in atay way aided In The Journal s progress or shown his friendship for it This and this alone is the cause of the Oregonian's venomous attacks, and no man familiar with its past can be deluded into the belief that it is actuated ' by any higher or better motive than the sordid desire for re venge, . , !. . : ::.V. THE "DROWNED" NOT DEAD. T TOW LONG may a man He in n" the water, "drown," and then " be taken out and resuscitat ed?. We do not know! seafaring men do not know; and doctors say it "just depends." But the lite-saving service keeps statistics: and some are of much importance in this, the drown ing, . season. ; Every season reap its harvest of , lives; but ' now when thoughtless childhood and foolhardy youth brave an element with whose moods they are unfamiliar, the crop is larger than at any other time, and it is for the saving of those, as well as of their elders who, through accident or carelessness, arc thrown into , the water, that this is written. I'V'-V'-..;.'.;. The life-saving service says a man who has been in the water for . 10 minutes, and-, who appears to be as dead as a herring that has been out of the water for that length Of time, is an easy subject for resuscitation. A man-who,fter a terribleitf uggie with the waves sinks and remains un der the water 23 minutes, is not a hopeless case; and the victim of 25 minutes' immersion has chance for his life. a U--- The 10-minute-man was taken out. and after a full hour'a hard work with the common mechanical respiratory movements, waa set on his. feet by his friends, and staggered - to . his bath house and put on his clothes. It took over 24 hours ot extraordinary work to revive the man who , had been "drowned" for 23 minutes. ? A doten times those who were trying' to re suscitate him . were on the point of giving him up, but love and experi mental curiosity urged them on, and the "drowned" was restored to life. , These cases are interesting to us here; and if they suggest the grisly thought that some of the people who 4 have been taken from the Willamette ;tO-lheir-gravesnn5ght have been re vived, they will inspire the friends of those who may be "drowned" in the future to make every effort to restore air to the water-filled lungs. , ? . NEW ZEALAND; HE-PREMIER of NevTZia i. land," '"Sir. , Joseph , George Wood, who has been visiting thIscouhtry; confirms reports fre quently, published about the -entire success of the socialistic form of gov ernment in that country. - The gov ernment owns or controls everything, and nearly . everybody . is contented and happy. No .enormous wealth, in few hands no pauperism, no trusts, scarcely any Idleness or crime, no governmental favoritismor corrup tion. It is a pleasing picture, even if acritk- might find tome defects and evils below the surface, and Socialists seem to be justitiea in pointing to New Zealand proof of the sound ness of their theories.- : . ; Yet the argument of New Zealand ia not conclusive as applied" to this country. While New Zealand con tains an area of more than 100,000 square miles, somewhat larger than the state of Oregon, it has a popula tion of less than a million, and its largest city has only about 50,000 in habitants. 'It is, to a great extent' an isolated, country, and its inhabitants are exceptionally homogeneous in origin, general character and political traditions. ' . What could be accom- plished-th by an extremely pater- J nal government could not be duplicat ed in a vast country of 85,000,000 peo ple, with its complexities, concentra tion of population, diversity of ele ments, and seething commercial and industrial activity and rivalry, auch as theXJnited States.' . - ; ', ' ' That paternalism, amounting almost to a demonstration of socialistic doc trines, has proved a success in New Zealand cannot with the evidence at hindte-deniedr butrtdoea-notfoi-f low .that it could be established and maintained in this country. IS IT A FARCE? UR morning. ..contemporary - argued or rather assumed , the other day that the gov ernment's action against the Northern Securities company had accomplished wonderful things and had given Port land the benefit, of railroad compe--tition.

But has' that de cisioaJa anyway altered or bettered tn conditions complained off ... To all intents and purposes is not the great railway merger a fact today as patent as when J (a. destinies were directed and controlled by the Northern Se curities company? Are not the two great transcontinental lines of rail way,' the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, together with the Burling' ton system, today as absolutely con trolled and dominated by Mr. Hill as when he wai president of he North era Securities company? After win ning in the courts '.'a ; victory that thrilled the heart of the Republic, haveL. the people enjoyed one single fruit ot that victory? -Beyond compelling Mr. Hill 'to affix two signatures where formerly one would suffice,'as he has himself publicly stated, the great mer ger, victory has been ..a triumph of principle only, where the vanquished retained possession of the citadel ajtd merely hauled down his flag." ; ' This, we imagine, will be about the sum of the, president's tilts against the beef trust and Standard Oil. ; He goes on the theory that only the cor poration, not the men composing it, can be punished; he honored, , pro moted and praised a noted violater of the law, Paul. Morton; we should not be much surprised to see him make Rockefeller secretHry of the treasury yet i T'-t.- V V; - We do not say the president is in sincere; we think he is' entirely sin cere, but that he imagines that he is accomplishing about ten . times as much as he really is accomplishing.

Such a' contest is generally harmful to many, beneficial to few if any. ' Let us have peace. The belligerent inatinct that drags crowd to every corner where there is a street" brawl may.afiimate some of the newspapers in their efforts to aggrayateJbe dispuiejnd irritate the v t i disputants in the street railway troubles, but the people find little pleasure in contemplating a fight in which they will be the chief sufferers. . i ' :.;:.. 8chool in Llmeatona Cave.

At subsequent meetings it has1 been a teple for dlsousslon and In every case the talk haa been to. discountenance ' speeding ef , all kinds. It is this at titude of the elub that has prevented races being held here, for tbe elub end lte officials felt that racing, even on a track, would give drivers - a taste ef peed and they would probably continue to speed on the public streets when- . ever en opportunity presented Itself. ' .. "The offlcera of the Portland Auto mobile club," said R. D. Inman, presi dent of the elub, fare opposed to, all kinds of speeding. It ts not right for -, any driver to exceed the speed limit . and it any do they ahould be punished to the full extent of the law. The elub eondemne all kinds of speeding and I ' feel that it any member of the elub did soeed end It became known he would be called before the club, given a aharp reprimand and if the .offense wae re peated he would be expelled . from the J OlUb. - ... f J. "We know that reckless , or speedy drlvtne. nrodUces - a strong prejudloe against the care and aa the object of ' the club Ie to promote the use of motor care for pleaaure, convenience and bust- nees, we cannot afford to have the pub lic prejudiced against tbem. therefore 17 feel that all the members agree that speeders should be cea.lt with without fear or favor.. . ' ', ' 1 think, if it la Investigated It will be found that the real apeedlng comes from the chauffeurs of the livery mi- chines, which stand on various street corners. In the majority of-the cases these drivers are young fellows, and ae every passenger, counts,: they -want to get from place to place as quickly as possible. Their patrons. I think, are also t blame, for they frequently urge . faster driving. The kpetrone ef these livery care are, aa a rule, persona nut for a lark or a -good time and want to experience new sensai lone, and one of these they long for Is a quick, swift ride, and tbe driver to accommodate them apeeda the car beyond the limit I know this to be the case frequently in the trips of these livery care from river resorts. . for. some of. them talk about making the trip from Claremont to Fortlvid In 10 minutes, ana ono young fellow waa boasting the other day that he made the trip from Clare mont to the Portland hotel in II or 14 minntaa. It is. I feel certain, these livery care that are responsible for the complaints of speeding, and the auto mobile elub will try te regulate them.r Some men look upon home as merely . 4rti the latter nart of the night and the early part of the Cash Purses pob iznimi totax Oram btm seseeteeaeeesee vm, si a Mr hur id .1 a 7 "X " '-M.
