The membership of the league it loads up of the atate's sixty ..odd toards of trade; chambers of com merce, promotion committees and fether bodies whose object is the de velopment of Oregon; its purposes ire manifold, but the essence . of all tl them is a better, bigger,' more populous' Oregon, v . r ; $ ;, V'. y , Oregon today has more to recom- . tnend her to the homesecker, business rnsniitcoet orroiessioaal man than has any other state m the anion; "She is enjoying a splendid and con- tinued. prosperity that .aofinaacial stories of the east can disturb. She jias ' the most fertile " fields " in the svorld whose one. need to make them gardens oj productivity is water, and she has more money for irrigation than has any of her sister states. She lias the twotreatesf"; commercial rivers west of the Father of Waters; lias - many . fine harbors and water power great enough: to make whirl with new forge every wheel that ifiives a. shaft, in this country.

HE GOVERNMENT ownei amp oi railroads ts a very large question. Mr. Bryan 'is in favor of ownership-of trunk lines by the federal government and lines wholly within states by the several states, snd he - does not speak posi tively on so very important a question without having stuided it carefully. Before condemning his proposed pol icy off-hand, he should be given a patient and unprejudiced hearing, and his arguments should.be well con sidered. V. That the railroads, or many of the big pnes, have been defiant of law, have adopted indefensible methods. have considered themselves superior to the government, federal or state, which gave them charters, have in solently wronged the public In many ways, is known to everybody. . That they must be regulated and brought under strict -control and 'must "b obliged to cohfortn to 'the laws, most people now 'admit'" But government ownersh ip , is quite . anoth er matter. We : do not believe that; as yst, at least, the people are prepared to adopt There are' many difficulties' in the way, but the greatest one is the prob ability if not the inevitability of the railroads under government owner ship becoming1 a part or an adjunct of ; a great,; corrupt, tmaccountable political machine. We have had many object lessons in the recent past, of the diseased condition of American politics, of the prevalence of graft, of the low standard of official morality. And what immensely increased oppor t unities would government ownership give the grafters, who seem to con stitute the majority of office-holders, at least in Wafhington, D. C . ' Look over' the senate, with its Piatt and. DepewAita Ellcins and Scott, its Aldrich and Dupbnt, its Forakef and Dick its members from New Jersey, New England, Michigan, Illinois, Cal ifornia and elsewhere, and .coAsider whether this great power and oppor tunity should be pfaced in their hands. And in the - house - thet leaders are Cannon, Dalsell, Payne and others of their ilk. President Roosevelt com pelled them to do something of s reformatory character, but where is there another Republican Rooseyelt? And once in office,.and with a mighty temptation' before them, would the Democrats in congress, if in the ma jority, be or do any better? A- man like Bryan as 'president 'would .be above luipicion, of course, but a pres ident is not the whole thing, and if he had a congress on his hands that wss opposed to hira pobticallr, he would be blocked or checked in every movement e-made to steep the' raxil- rosds put, of politics, . ?y. ,, It must .be considered slso that employes of thegovernfnnt 'selddM tin.

Humanity Is not gaining In comforts and leisure, but fs losing. of an individual, firm-or corporation.

'"' V '-. : "'. Again, if s new railroad to develop a region, say in Oregon, were need ed, one" that perhaps would connect with snd become a part of a trans continental road,, might we not have to wait for it longer than Mr. Harri man made us waitf 'How much red tape would there be in securing it? And would not the. powers that be require a diwyr 1 '. 1 1 ; Bat : aside from these objections, would it be safe . to . entrust ' such a gigantic. business, in which so great sn srmy of voters sre employed, to our public servants in the present state of political snd official morality? Should we not wait and see what at tempted regulation and control will do, and until the moral standards of official life are raised much higher? So it seems to us, snd ws think that on this question Mr. Bryan will not be sble to convince jnore then s small minority of the people .that govern ment ownership of railroads in the near future is a wise or safe policy. ... ' mimmm THE NEW CANADIAN ROAD. HILE Mr."" Hill and Mr. . Harrimsn arc bending all ''their energies and exer cising all their wits in rival railroad buitding in t the7Pscinc"n6'rthwesf, Canada is. not idle, and is pushing ahead her project for a new transcon tinental railroad. We say "Canada," for though a vast amount of private capital will be invested in the enter prise, it will be in part a government- owned road; - the - Canadian govern ment will build the eastern half and will lease it to the corporation that is building th western half. . .' The new- line 'will be the most northerly on the continent, yet will not traverse an exceedingly cold and inhospitable country. ' As they trav eled northwesterly, ithe '..engineers found the climate last winter and spring milder the ice moving out of the Saskatchewan s month earlier than it did from the St Lawrence at Montreal.

ANYTHING or , snybody de I serves an especial formak holi- day it is Labor and the indue trious, fsithful laborer. The preach ers snd teachers snd officials have thcif long vacations; prosperous em ployers can afford to take a month or two off in the summer time . for vscstion; the hobos' make holidays out of most days of the year, but the steady workers1 holidays are not many, and they are well entitled to one especially on their own account Leaving the hobos snd idle rich out most of us are workers, of some sort and it would be well to join in to such sn extent as is prgcticablc in making Labor, day a real 'holiday, and en couraging the spirit which prompts its observance by what are popularly known as workingmen. ,. Labor applied to natural resources is the source of all wealth; -without labor there would be no capital, or it would be inert worthless; labor, brains and capital are the great in dustrial trio that cirrus, .the world forward- and upward.'and n a Isrge sense the greatest of 'these is labor. : The faithful workingmaa ought to be well paid snd ought to have time to read and study some, snd be com' fortably sociable with his family. He ought to be sble to get s home of his own, give his children s common edu cation, and take his proper, place as an intelligent American citizen. And to further", these objects is the prim purpose of Labor day. . , - There arc newspapers thst frequent ly pitch into the tariff, and the trusts, snd the railroads, and monopolies, and ''privilege," snd graft, but as soon as Mr. Bryan' proposes-some definite means of correction they balk; U .. .

Bryan, bases hi ad vocacy of government and state own ership of railroads on the ground that the railroads are practically t mo nopoly. Combined aa they will prob ably be before long, they will be a monopoly, and in conjunction with Standard Oil and some other trusts will own the country, soul, body and breeches. . ' v".V'.. Well, the country has been clamor ing for suppression of railroad, and other monopoly rule, and as soon as Bryan proposes the real ultimate rem cdy there is a great outcry of protest Perhaps most of the . protesters sre satisfied with things as they are, 'or have been.
