stated Oregon's light is spreading:'
The Sunday Journal has undertaken
the task of telling the news of the
state's ereatness to the world, and
has begun the publication of a series
of articles on What. Oregon Towns
. Are Doing to Attract Immigration.
The articles are free; -they are given
space in this paper because we believe
Oregon has the best climate, the fin
est land, the. greatest diversity of re
sources, and the largest amount of
undeveloped wealth of any state in
the anion. "-v.',:; ;.jr'.,''"' v.: '
Already Albany and Irrigon have
told what they are doing to get their
share of the desirable class of im
migrants headed . for the Oregon
country. Their stories are interest
ing and instructive. Albany has
churches and schools and parks and
rew sidewalks . anlllowtaxeindl'
cheap lands, and openings for. profes
sional and business men, chances for
farmers, and work for the industrious,
and she : welcomes ;-all-with heart
warm greetings. Irrigon's story is a
evelatl6n-a 7 desert waste some
months age, a beautiful, productive
garden today, where live many happy,
busy people, contented with' the pres
ent and splendidly optimistic of the
future. The short history of Jrrigofl
and the. annals of her people make
one glad that he is a citizen of a state
where such opportunities for growth
and development are' so numerous.
Today Jefferson tells what she has to
offer the homseseeker, and to: the
easterner the list of attractions, in
cluding fine climate, good schools,
cheap water power, highly productive
land at low prices, openings for small
capital, should prove of advantage. .

CHICAGO-rdispatch ' tells us
that 10,000 freight cars have
been purchased by Mr. Har-
riman for delivery on his Jines before
the heavy; freight season next year.
Similar reassuring ; dispatches will
doubtless be received with reference
to. car purchases by other roads, - '
It is all well enough in its way, but
the hews comes too late to serve the
purpose of deflecting the legislature
from its duty. Too many thousands
of dollars have been lost in the north
west, too many industries have been
paralyzed for months at a time, too
many warehouses " are " running "over
with products that cannot be shipped
for Jack of cars,grlthe' state againjo,
be found in position where it cannot
defend itself against a car shortage.
" We are a growing commonwealth.
We must have room. We must have
facilities and conveniences. When
Our mills and factories and farmers
snake contracts for. deliveries of what
they, h ave to. el V they must be. cer
tain that there will be. adequate car
facilities for the deliveries to be
promptly made. The extension of
our commerce and the spread of our
industries depend primarily upon cer
tainty lia these matters. Without
such certainty, satisfactory business is
impossible and more or less stagna
tion and loss is the result '
If we give to the railroad the priv
ilege of doing the transportation of
tht state, the railroad must give us in
return such facilities as we may. re
quire It is an obligation the rail
road Cannot shrink or blot Out It is
an obligation that the railrttaa has so
persistently tailed to meet in the past,
that we must safeguard against op
portunity for it to do so in th future.
This means that the legislature should
rite to the emergency and give otir in
dustries, our ; farmers, and v all our
shippers a statute .' that will be ef
fective, and that will prevent recur
rence of the ugly, delays and .costly
postponements of the past.-.
Though the legislature will be told
the contrary, a la w compelling cara to
be furnished cannot' do the railroads
harm. ., Harm cannot com to them
from a law that .will require adequate
Iacilities.wDich" in turn will "increase
the. company's business. Especially
will harm be impossible if, as reported
from Chicago', an adequacy of cars is
to be supplied anyway.- The dispatch
is all the morereason for legislators
to go; ahead and do their duty by pro
viding by, statute for reciprocal de
murrage or some otlier safeguard that
will stand as a future barrier to prev
alence of the present car famine with
its paralysis of many industries.

rTTHB RESULT of the .con-
. I - gressional campaign
"-' throughout the country is
exceedingly gratifying to this com
mittee," says Chairman Sherman of
the Republican -congressional . cam
paign ' committee. ' , And he adds:
"The result shows that, the people
emphatically indorse the administra
tion of President Roosevelt and ap
prove the work of the first session of
the Fifty-ninth c6ngrest.'T,,'"'';.V
The Republican ' majorjty in the
present house, is 114; in the next one
it will be 53, a Republican loss of 56.
And this notwithstanding the most
strenuous efforts of the administra
tion to prevent any Republican loss.
If a loss of 56 members is "exceed
ingly gratifying" and an "emphatic
indorsement," how badly scared and
eonscience-stricCen the Republican
managers must have been; Another
such indorsement would give the
Democrats a majority of over 50 in
the house,, and while this was hap
pening would elect Democratic state
tickets in most of the northern states,
and several legislatures. If ' Mr.
Sherman feels so lafed over the re
sult, what does he expect will happen
when Teddy's name loses a good deal
more of its conjuring power?
KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF.
HAT ONE thinks he
, knows, he believes, but
' one may believe many
things that, he cannot, surely know.
Such is the nature of not only most
of people's religious belief," of re
ligious faith, but of much belief and
faith of other kinds. Paul admitted
that we only""know in part," and de
fined faith asJhe evidence 'Of things
not seen," that is, not apprehendable
by the physical senses. Not only re
ligiously, but in politics, in commerce,
in finance, even in science we have
to believe much that we don't know
to be actually true; and that as a
matter of fact is not wholly true. (
. What ' is needed in . the business
world, we are told, is confidence. If
people think a country's finances are
on a solid basis, everything moves
along' for awhile just the same as
though this were so, even though it is
not so. ' And the same is true to a
large extent of a corporation, firm or
individual. For all practical pur
poses believingr a ; thing to be so
makes it so, in many cases. This is
so to -tome little extent in the phys
ical world, as seen in phenomena of
the power of theTnTnd over the body.
Belief concerning the body can ren
der it well or ilL Positive faith cures,
negative faith kills.' In a thousand
ways we may witness the power of
faith, belief in what we do not know,
often in what we cannot and perhaps
never try to find out We cannat re
tain the simple and absolute faith in
others that the child has in' parent and
teacher, yet the most doubting and
cynical are constantly prompted'ty
unconscious faith summarized in the
phrase, "Faith In God and faith in
man. .
One of two political parties, one of
tworoadson oUwO-cboicjtaofall
sorts of objects, from an overcoat to
a life companion, ' may .not be ab
stractly the better, but the certitude
that it is so i makes, it so to, the
chooser. His belief, his faith,' based
on things unseen t6 'others; makes it
essentially truth to him.

The germ of the tiny mustard seed
whence springs a ' tree " in whose

of fakh in' the soul. . By jan
impressive figure it was represented
that a strong enough faith would re
move mountains. ' So it wilt mountain-heavy
burdens resting on the

Don't imagine that a person must

that he can prove it ' ' The world
would soon lapse into social chaos
and anarchy If-it had to rely wholly

HEARSTS POSITION.
w
E. REALLY
BELIEVE
that " "the defeat of - Mr,.
Hearst, since it was not
overwhelming but by a comparatively
narrow margin, was a better result
both for him and for the Democratic
party, and for the people generally,
than his election would have been.
The election showed that notwith
standing President Roosevelt's tre
mendous personal prestige and influ
ence, New York is a Democratic, or
at least doubtful, state. The big Re
publican majority in the, legislature
is the result of a vicious gerrymander,
by which Democratic ' communities
are denied their share of representa
tion. The vote on - state officers
clearly shows this. Hughes is re
garded as an exceptionally worthy
man, and was the president's nominee,
yet he pulled through by only a very
moderateTnajority, while the rest of
the Republican state ' ticket was
beaten. Hearst was defeated by the
knifing, of Democratic boodlers and
corruptiomsts whom he had most vig
orously and mercilessly attacked and
exposed. . But it won't be long till
these men will lose most of their
power, and the rural voter will begin
to understand the merits of " the
Hearst movement, which is essen
tially a Democratic movement '
As governor, Hearst could not have
accomplished . all that would have
been expected of him he might have
made mistakes; he would have been
the object of every imaginable species
of open and' secret attack, and he
would have aroused antagonisms and
kept the Democratic party in a state
of eruption or disruption. But now
Hearst can do most effective work
along the lines that he has been pur
suing and also within ttte Democratic
party. Already Jerome, Croker and
others are "patting him on the back."
McCarren, Cyan, et al., are afraid of
him, even more so than if he were
governor, for he Ss free from official
responsibility and can concentrate his
efforts on swinging and thrusting his
lances as he chooses. He was not
beaten badly enough to be discred
ited; his friends are in important po
sitions; the campaign being over peo
ple will not be so prons to doubt his
sincerity or disbelieve the barbed
truths he tells; the Democratic party
mugt recognize , him as a powerful
leader, and altogether he is on higher
vantage ground than he would be as
governor pi istw zora. ;
As an executive Hearst might fail
in part; might become discredited;
might be weakened and injured by
enemies; but as a private citizen and

Mr. Garfield, the present head of

and let us hope ht will make a good
one; but the announcement that his

he rendered in busting the beef trust
must be regarded as a bit of presi
dential pleasantry. It Is remembered
that he so operated as to render the
members of the beef trust "immune,"
and no exposure to punishment is of
the slightest danger to them. ; .
A careful consideration of the vote
in New York discloses the fact that
while Hearst was not elected, the
Hearst ', idea was overwhelmingly
sdopted. Every man on the ballot tf

clentlflo experts of tho department 'of
agriculture of Washington.
Secretary Wilson has sent out word -that
even th freshest eggs msy under
certain conditions cause illness by com
municating some parasite.
"It it possible," he says, "for an egg
to become irfected with micro-organisms,
either before It is laid or after.
Th shell Is porous and of fera no
greater resistance to mlcro-organlama
which cause disease than It does to
those, which cause tht egg to epoll."

A curious bet that partakea of thi
nature of a practical Joke went, to th
court in th town of Dole, France, in
1614. A citlaen of the district offered '
to pay on of his countryman 14 francs
In advance if he would agree to furnish
him with a number of gralna of millet
Irt proportion to tha number of children
born In the town with a yar. On
grain of millet waa to b given for
the first, two fori the second, four for
the third, eia-ht for tha fourth mnM mh
Accepting the apparently cenerous
offer, the unlucky Frenchman attempted :
to carry out tht provlsiona; but SS '
children wart born within th specified
time. Ht waa astounded at the enor
mous quantities of grain required tb:
fulfill the contract, and appealed to th
fourte for annulment of th wager, on -he
ground that it waa founded on an
Impossible condition. ' ,
Tht Judget granted his appeal; but "
ordered him to return th 14 francs ha
had received and to pay 14 In addition. .
