LET US HELP OURSELVES. I ' N PROPORTION to their prora- " iaea the performances , of Mr. Harriman and hi subordinate managers have been alow and few in Oregon. It ia announced at lait that work ia actually to be begun .at once on the Coos Bay road, which , if true will count for a good deal to Mr. Harriman' credit,, but there are other matters in which he is exaa i. pcratingly alow. Building a railroad i a big job, but chartering two or three iteamera ought not to be ao dif ficult. u '.y ;;. .vv Many month ago Mr. Schwerin ;wasgoing to add several .ateamers to . the Portland-San ' Francisco ser , vice, almost right away. H had the vessels chartered, or knew where he could put his hand on them, and was : going to make that movement di r rectly. We could almost see " them teaming along the Pacific, headed for Portland. But that is the last that has been heard about it. Hiv ing a monopoly railroad. between here and San Francisco, Mr. Harriman was in no haste about putting on more ' steamers. And if we wait for him we nay wait many months or even years 7 for the . additional vessels urgently ; " needed On that route. i ," ; The business men who are agitat Ing for an independent line, or rather cne to be operated m connection" with the Northern Pacific, ara making the right kind of a move. Mr. Schwerin L has apparently forgotten all about the '-, mattery Portland should proclaim a declaration of independence of Mr. ' Harriman, and form an alliance else where, unless this need is aupplied at Once. Patience has ceased to be a virtue. ' All the commercial interests ' of the city should unite to relieve the . city from the tyranny to which it has too long been . subjected in this ' matter.'.' . - ' -; .,,t, THE IOWA IDEA. HE IOWA TARIFF plank is careful to declare, and to re iterate, us trainers' adherence to "the American system of protec tion." Duties on foreign imports, it ays, "should be levied not for rev enue only, but so as to" and.it runs through the usual list of alleged bene fits of jvototjoohenjtjcontfnues: . ' "Wise and unselfish tariff laws, maintained in the interest of the gen- eral welfare, equally opposed to for eign control and domestic monopoly, - are essential to our commercial and Industrial prosperity. - We believe : that all inequalities in the tariff sched ules, which inevitably arise from . changing industrial and commercial - conditions, should be adjusted from , time to time; and, condemning with- : out reserve all assaults upon the pro tective system, we favor auch reason- able and timely changea at will keep the tariff in harmony with our indus ;: trial and commercial progress." ' The Tlowa Idea" is contained in i c the declaration in favor of "reason l.' able and timely changes," and in the ' heretical phrase . 'domestic' monop oly." ,The standpatters objected to :the phrase "wise-and unselfish tariff " laws'! as conceding that a tariff law might be unwise and selfish, and even . Suggesting or hinting that the p'res , ent law was so. No good Republican, Mr." Perkins Insisted, should utter the faintest whisper of an admission or a ; hint . that the sacred Dingley tariff law is in any degree unwise or sel fish,' or tends to create . "domestic . monopoly," : Yet these expressions ' are very mild and guarded, and eco nomically no protectionist can reason ably object .to the statements made. The "Iowa Idea" is in itself only a faint tfmld voice, a very, alight, feeble and innocent little thing, as far as it could be considered inimical to the Dingley tariff law; but the mischief in it, from .the standpatters' point of -view, is in the veiled nd implied as sertion it makes that the present tariff ia unwise and selfish and conducive to - "dmestk-monopoly" and . this is tuvly. rendered tba not obvious bjr the reiterated protest that the party in Iowa is sorely and solidly in favor Of protection. , Well, the "Iowa idea" doen ap parently amount to much, but it will grow.- ; ' i J NOW ANOTHER CROP. I T EEMS but a very short apace Ol time since snips were carry ing away to foreign ports the wheat and flour bfv last year's crop that was brought from the . upper coUntry to Portland, and again the revolving year has brought around the time -When another crop will soon be coming in, with which to fill the ships now on their way for cargoes of the chief breadstuff of the Cau casian race. The inland empire is now in"thevery midst or its harvest, for. though great trains of wheat will soon be rolling into Portland, away up in the Palouse. country and in northern Idaho the harvest Will not be finished for several weeks yet. ' A wonderfully interesting study is this of the wheat, but no one except that . literary genius, Frank Norris, who died untimely in his youth, ever thought of writing in fiction form its epic, as he did, with marvelous power and insight, in The Octopus and The Pit, leaving the third work of hia contemplated triology unwrit ten, and never to be written, for there will not be another Frank Norris. Old Father Time -pauses not, and we acarce aee the sails of the last of one year's grain carriers depart on the highway of the ocean till we hear the rumbling of the trains that bring in another crop.

This fact has developed o unexpect edly-earlyi-so-prematurely-it -might be said, that the Republicana have been stirred up to active interest. in the matter of their candidate, .the great question with those not candi date themselves being: , Who can moat surely beat Bryan? V It is acknowledged by Repub licans generallylhar1fryand6ei not insist on harking back to free silver at 16 to 1, which he acknowl edges liimself is a "dead horse," he will be a formidable candidate, one difficult to beat, and there are many Republicana who believe that there Is only one man of their party who can beat him, and this man haa repeatedly declared that be would not be a can didate. If Roosevelt adheres to this determination, in spite of all the pres sure that may be brought to bear upon him, the next question is:" Who is most like him? For the Repub lican would need a man of Rooie veltian characteristics to beat Bryan. The trouble is that there is no one at all "like" himrthouglr-Taftprobably comes nearer than any of them to filling the bill , - ' Uncle Joe Cannon may show up strong in the convention, but he and Fairbanka are likely to kill each other off; Root is a very able man, but a corporation lawyer; where i the man like Roosevelt with ' whom to beat Bryan? . Immediately after the czar an nounced that he would take a trip after his hard and confining work, the price of bombs went to a point at which it is impossible for the un fortunate poor of Russia to buy more than a mere handful. : Therefore, the demonstration along the little fath er's path will not be as loud a usual.

This little formality ahould have bean gone through in the light of the young lady's age, she coyly confessing to only 17 short, sweet summers. It was the law's attitude upon this point which caused the minister to decline the honor of making them man - and - wife - and which also caused him to lose a fee. Tha couple, happy In anticipation, ac companied by another young maa and woman,, came from Philadelphia and Srocured a license ' at the office of laaistrate Broman. They then pro ceeded to the Rev.

Letters ' WataJoom Question. Portland. Aug. . To the Editor of The Journal I have noted several artlclea In. the Portland papers calling In question the Justice of -the local option law In Its provisions for the call ing of elections, In that the temperance people might vote each year to put the saloon out. but the liquor , men might not call a vote for two years to bring the aaloon back. Thla charge has seemed to me so manifestly Illogical that . I have expected ' each day to see, from tha pen of some temperance man, a clear-cut anawer. Such aaaerttona ara ao mlachlevoua' In their character, for some people take their oplnlona aa they buy their clothing ready-made that I have ventured to send this communica tion. . No less an authority than a supreme court Judge haa said that no man has an inherent right to deal In intoxicating drinks.' The license law in Itself is a recognition of this truth. The people are under no possible ob ligation to grant any place to the bual neaa, but hitherto have elected through the greater part of tha state la -grant the privilege (always a privilege; 'never a right) under restrictions. In these later days, presumably be cause they consider it safer for ' the commonwealth, they have elected to in crease these restrictions. ' The saloon' keepers naturally were not pleased and have appealed to tne people for greater privileges under the local option law. The people have unequivocally answered them at the polls, and now we have this hu and-ery of tnjustiee, which"! am amaaed to learn la seconded by some who are not interested in the liquor business. If the people have twice spoken, giv ing to the saloonkeeper the privilege of appealing every two years from tha de cision of a county or municipality, while reserving to themselves the right to put an unwelcome business out after . one year, who shall be so illogical aa to say that they tha people are unJuatT Ia this statement I am not considering the question of morals, but abstract Justice, As well could the saloonkeeper argue that because legal recognition haa mads hia bualneaa a legitimate one. he should be bound by only such restric tions aa are applied to other business. To this, the clear-headed citlsen will an awer that the saloonkeeper should ac cept with due thanks any privilege ao corded him, but that ao far aa restric tions touching his business are con cerned, the people have a right to throw auch safeguards around tha aaloon aa they deem needful. -. Falsa swearing, buying of votes, col onising voters and the us of Intoxicants are methods that do not commend themselves to the conscience ef the re former, but methods through which he haa often seen his cause defeated. - If then the good men of Oregon have de cided that they will not put the peace of their homes in Jeopardy by granting a privilege to the saloonkeeper to call a vote leas often than each two years, all eredlt to them. If they have elected to reserve to themselves the right to call vote to Insure safety to their home each year, it la unquestionably 'their light to do that. The saloona ahould be duly grateful for the grace granted tham, for they are likely to have leas. . ' " APA WALLACE UNRUH. 8amuel Sloan's Age. .- From the Nsw Tork World.
