PORTLAND'S GREATEST NEED,
frTHE GROWTH of Portland in
. I -the past year has killed civic
'jV.' ., pessimism and astonished
'optimism. - Wherever one looks, evi
dence of a '. remarkable - progress is
seen; great business blocks are taking
the' places of the structures that were
. considered magnificent 'a ; few years
' ago; the waste places .have become
the sites for beautiful homes; and
new caarthes and schools are being
: built as fast as armies of men can
' make foundations and lay bricks.
. All this is encouraging. : It shows
that advertising when a man of a
firm or a city can deliver what is ad
rertised pars, j Portland ' is . all th
advertisements said she wasand
' more; and there is room-and busi
ness for myriads of new people and
industries here. But what can we do
-to improve the city, keep the corriirfg
. .hosts, and induce others to cast their
lots with us? The Journal is trying
to find out, and is asking the men
who might be supposed to.be best
qualified to give expert opinion to tell
what is Portland's greatest" need
'..along that line.; A,,-.' ;?'"'.
X .The members of the executive
board have been in office long enough
to know what would be best for the
city; in what particular itjcouldjbe
proved;whatlTtsweak points- as
: 'a municipality are;ahd. how v they
' could be strengthened. Each will
4ell. jn his own way what he thinks
should be done 16 improve PofflandT

judgment of which is best and when

The"public should watch; this' page

CONSULS AND COMMERCE.
THERE seems ; no reason to
doubt that the American con-
,T:- sular service has been great
I y-improved within"TUe ,". past'few
i years, and is becoming of much value
t from a commercial point of view and
; otherwise. " Americans rule have
' not taken ' Sufficient eain lo oWae
AT
' foreigners in the manner' of putting
American . srods , n t!
market
I abroad. .Their price lists and other
I printed matter, for instance, are us
! nally printed in English only, and
; English terms "designating weights,
measures, etc, are used,' and foreign
' merchants do not wish to bother with
. translation and the reduction of num
bers to terms of the metric system,
; which is in general use abroad. The
American . shipper also usually de-
; tnands cash on delivery, or even in
advance of shipment, while the Ger
man or other foreign manufacturer or
' Jobber extends ' the same credit in
.other countries as in his own... And
consuls have occasionally reported
ases-wher-gooda have noTbeen""up
to the standard represented, where a
' trick has been played on the foreign
purchaser, who of Course will be in
clined after that to buy no more
American goods and will influence
others not to buy them,
i Along the line of instructing and
.cautioning. Americana who seek to
Mil goods abroad the American con
suls have in recent years done good
. work, and alto in working up trade
, .for American concerns. They are
also furnishing the' country with a
great deal of interesting and instruct
ive Information on almost all sorts of
subjects about the countries in which
they are severally located, which is
published daily by: the . government
and 1 sent free to any one desiring
these reports -..i '- , '..1
v The policy of the government, in
stead of changing , consuls, with a
change of administration , and ex
changing experienced ' for- inexpe
rienced men, merely to pay political
debts,' I to keep; the same men in
the service, promoting such asare
"most meritorious, and now it i pro
posed to psy them somewhst better
and in the principal cfties to provide
them with residences, which should
ta doae, , The great American repub-j
Hc should not make a shabby or
cheap appearance abroad. " ; -
: The protective tariff system-is an
other reason why Americans are
somewhat handicapped in the matter
of foreign commerce, because it en
ables the'Amcrican to ignore the out
side worldUe in-many cases is pro
tected from competition, and so can
place a fancy price on his goods sold
in this country, so that he has no
great incentive to sell abrqad. If he
does sell abroad he must do so, as a
rulefor lower prices than he obtains
at home, and as long as the tariff
laws enable hinvtaJitlLfo his coun
trymen at a large margin of profit
he is not as anxious as he otherwise
would be. to, find a market overseas.
' : Meanwhile the country is prosper
ous and -the 7 people .-generally are
making ; no great complaint : about
protective and trust prices; they are
so -used to these prices that they pay
them las a matter of course.- How
long this ' will continue no one can
say, but fortune seems bound to stay
with us for awhile yet. ; Reports from
Europe Indicate that the wheat crop
there will be 150,000,000 bushels
short, while the crop in the United
States will approximate 700,000,000
bushels, leavmgv a large-margin tor
export.' The corn crop will be at
least three, and a half times larger
still, .and the yield of other cereals
will be up to or above the average.
As long as. Americans are producing
more foodstuffs than they can con
sume, and other countries are short,
they must buy of us or starve, so that
the "balance of trade" will remain for
the present largely " in '.: our favor.
But our prosperity is in no wise due
to protection, is rather in Spite of the
high tariff, but is due principally to
our great crops, and short otet in
some other countries of large popula
tion. But our foreign commerce,
though ' but ' a small fraction of do
mestic' trade, is gradually increasing
in spite of the handicaps mentioned,
snd our consuls are doing consider
able In aid of itv Americans have the
greatest amount and variety of ma
terials and the most productive labor
in the world, and there is no reason
why they should not build up a con
tinually, growing : foreign commerce.
l EVOLUTION IN . RUSSIA.
IUSSIA has brought upon her
self the present J troubles.
The grist of the slowly - but
surely grinding mills of the' gods is
flowing-oat mostly red' liquid stuff
under a canopy, of powder smoke
end to the music of bombs. '
It is the inevitable result of genera
tions of tyranny and misgoverntnent
of a people, who have been raised in
ignorance, poverty,.- credulity, filth
and disesse.t7WhOcan "wonderrat
those , who, somewhat awakened and
slightly enlightened, cast bombs
among their oppressors?
We are seeing a sample of evolu
tion in v. Russia today,:' pinching
into a ;crux. The government
will . go down in a whirlwind
of terror, a , storm of passion
we, snaa.see a period, ot. anarchy,
tens' of millions of people in. an up
roar, seeking and striving for' they
scarcely know, what.' Ultimately,' but
perhaps long hence, will come a re-
generated and enlightened people, in
telligent, church-free, patriotic and
self-governing; but there is a terrible
price to. pay, for this, and only, a
small fraction of it has yet been paid.
' A few days ago The Journal printed
the following "squib": "Over two
years and three months of Bryan,

or eight years more of Bryan. Give

successfully lead the people in the
great battle against ' graft, robbery
and fraud. ' Admitting all he ssys, the
point is that a two-years' "boom is
more likely to become tiresome and
collapse than one of briefer duration.
It is something like some prolonged
engagements to marry; the courtship
becomes stale. But the people know
pretty much all about Bryan already,
to perhaps Bryanicitis will not do him
or them any hsrm.
Wyoming, .whose widely advertised
desire , for immigrstion - has been
shown in Istch-string-always-outsids

about a graceful rebuke.

who hay so much pocket money they
can afford to spend it on stray fancies,
Ths,-nw idea is to select a favorite
flower and use In lieu of a orest oa sta

has selected the violet ' and to her
