; MR. HARRIMAN OBJECTS. .
' v I r for - non-interference , with
. .. the railroad; he wants the
government to let them alone. Rail
aoad men, he complains, cannot build
and operate roads successfully and
satisfactorily when they are being in
terfered with and regulated, and when
all sorts of complaints are being made
- about them." Hence he is opposed to
any species or degree of government
or public ontrol or regulation, and
candidly says so. "' j '. v v"' s?'.
-' But whence arose this clamor and
'demand, for, government control, go-
. ing in the case of many intelligent
and reasonable people to' the, extent
of advocating government ownership?
rora wrong treatment of the people
and persistent infractions of reason
able laws by the railroads. If the
railroads had 'been ' reasonable and
honest and law abiding, and had
ought ta advanceheir-ewtHnterests
by simultaneously advancing the in
terests of the public, which is-the ;
only proper and reasonable polity, the
railroads would have been let alone.
The public is not hankering after the
responsibility of controlling or reg
ylating them. . . .
. But many of the big railroads have
adopted a policy and practices that
have become intolerable, tndthe pub
lic is forced to interfere in sheer self
idefense."rThe railroads have given re
bates byv the wholesale to favored
hippers,? notably the great , trusts;
bsve submitted to-if not inaugurated
Iheindefensible" privafe'caf" systemf
have shown gross partiality as be
tween persons, firms and places; have"
'divided territory and maintained mon
opolies therein, so as to be able to
charge all the traffic would bear; have
prevented the building of lines- into
regions awaiting development, while
refusing to build therein themselves;
stocks, to the cost of the small stock
holders and the public; and have in
numerous cases charged excessive
freight rates; and so the public has
been obliged to, devise some means
for self protection.' :'.;
' Mr. Harriman may still believe that
a railroad is and of right ought to be
wholly a prirateTyersonah-; concern,
like a sawmill or brewery, but he will
have to abandon that view of the case,
as many others have doner Courts,
congress, legislatures and executives,
as well as the press and the public
generally, have fully concluded that
railroads are public rather than pri
vate concerns, and must be treated
accordingly.i.:!(i?i LjjXt -
- Railroads should be run on the
principle and in accordance with the
policy of mutuality of interest be-
JjejLhjMTjLandhepuhlic
were done the public would be glad
to forego control, regulation or inter
ference. But the policy and system
of Mr. Harriman and some others
high op in the railroad world have
forced the people to take a hand in
the business, and they are going to ef
fect some important changes before
they quit, regardless of Mr. Har
riman't protests.
USE THE RIVERS.
fERHAPS no public gathering
- -yl1rfnahisea
the congress itself, has been so
important as the Trans-Mississippi
congress in session this week at Kan
as City. It will voice as could have
been done in no other way so effect
ively the popular sentiment and grow
ing demand for river and harbor. im
provement It is not only a trans
Mississippi or to tis a cis-Mississippi
congress, but one in which many
people .east of that river have a. vital
interest. . s
North-and-sbuth traffic in the Mis
cinsippi valley as well as cast and
west continental traffic, is becoming
a large, live subject, especially since
Mr. Harriman , has acquired control
of" the prihcipatline from -Chicago to
the gulf. That great railroad, the Il
linois V Central, practically .ended
ateambnating on the Mississippi river
though river traffic has begun ,to
revive a little. With the river traffic
nearly suppressed and the river al
most abandoned, : the' railroad had
, control of the traffic situation. " This
means that Mr. Harriman, or tht
combine which h works for, holds
the people of the Mississippi valley in
a certain degree of bondage; the river
closed, he can charge "all the traffic
wjll bear.", :; .
What are those millions of people
to do?...Either open upline river and
resume traffic on it again, or build
competing lines . of north-and-south
railroads under such 'guarantees, that
they could not fall into the hands of
the railroad trust. In any event they
mustave or control roads touching
the river at all principal points, in or
der to maintain river traffic. '"
The Mississippi river, and the Co
lumbia, and other large aavigable
stream?, are,; great, ' free highways.
Natura provided them; - the people
own them; the people-ought to use
them or make - them to serve as
freight regulators in every ca.se where
this, can be done; and in no possible
way can the people's money be better
expended by the government than in
opening up and keeping open these
highways and regulators. For ey,ery
million thus expended many millions
will.be gained.' .And the railroads will
Inot suffer, either, for production and
trf fie-ilUaa-uicte ast JLh at-th C0f3V'iU-
have all they can do.
Better open rivers and good har
bors than a navy equal to all the
navies of the earth. Thetime has
passed when there is any danger of
any other nation attacking the Amer
icans at home. We do not say there
should -not be a good,-big navy, but
for every million spent on a battle
ship there ought to be ten millions
spent in encouraging and aiding pro
duction, transportation, . commerce
the arts of peace. r-'-'""::. "'7'""
MARRIED WOMEN TEACHERS.
HE FIRST SQUAD of the 500
British teachers who are com
; ing over to study the educa
tional system of the United States ar
rived last week and are investigating
schools of eastern cities. They are
mostly women, "as" teachers: in this
country are, Tut a large proportion of
them are married women, as would
not be the case if a lot of American
teachers went to England. In New
York and Boston, and in some other
American cities, there is a rule against
married women teachers, but in Lon
don, if not in other large. British cit
ies married women are not only not
barred but are welcomed as teachers.
Half the women teachers of London,
it is said, are wives, a large propor
tion of whom are mothers who re

duties.'; ' V': -? -7 '''
r n London teacher are not so plen
tiful as in our large ciriesi so that it
does not necessarily follow that married-women
teachers are unobjec
tionable, but we think a rigid rule
against them is neither necessary nor
wise. It depends' on the woman, and
her domestic circumstances, whether
if married she should be allowed to
teach or not While as a general rule
is may be well to employ only single
women,there are - many--xception,
as is admitted and recognized in this
city and in many other Americao
cities. ' If a woman can, and will and
does do good work, the fact as to her
being married or single should not be
considered a matter of first import
ance. - '. . -7 ' ' '

Portland, Or., Npv. 20. To the Editor
of Th Journal Som years ago. while
on a walking tour In the Lake dis
trict of' England, that favored spot en
riched not only by some of nature's
fairest scenes, but also by Its associa
tions with English literature, our wan
derings led us around tnree aides of one
of the smaller- hills, winch, according
to our map was named Helm crag.
It summit waa crowned by a huge
pile of granite rocks standing out in
bold relief against the skyline. .

THOUSANDS' OF PEOPLE -

Public Sentiment - Crowing Against

When Heavy Traffic Is Passing
Over the Bridget.
At T.40 o'clock thl morning, when
th rush fit travel from East Portland -to
th west side was at' Its height tb
teamer , Ocklahama. with a tow boat
atarted through th bridge, towing a
large chooner loaded with lumber from .
on of th mill, above th city. Eleven

freight wagon were held up at the
Madison stieet brldgo. where the draw
wne-el-w,.-44 -4nttta. -Tbeotbar
bridge opened In turn, and Morrison :
treat wher the travel la heaviest,
waa blockaded for block while th
lumber achooner crept by.'
-Well-informed persons declare there
la no reason why th lumber schooner
should not have -got away before th
morning rush of travel over the bridges
begin. .
Th only reason that can b advanced
for starting at the hour selected by th .
steamer Is that of the personal convenl-
nc of the steamboat pilot or captain.
It Is declared that the pilot is mainly
responsible for choosing the hour of
rush travel over the bridges, and that
the only person accommodated by th
election of that hour I tb pilot "
Counting aU the bridges, the-people -who
were held up 14 minutes thla morn
ing numbered thousand. t
Only a few people,-who wish to catch
a train or fill an appointment ar ae
rloualy put out when the bridge ara
held - open - at any other time. Xluu,
steamers hav praotlcally II hours of
th II each day to carry on their busi
ness without grievously- discommoding'4''
th general working public, and It la
argued that steamboat pilots should ao
manage ineir anairs as to avoid moving
heavy tows through the drawbridge ,
between the hour of 1 and I o'clock
In th morning and also between 6 and
o'clock p. m. Ultimately th county
oourt may be compelled by publlo sent!,
ment to doe the drawbridge an hour
