To the tem pcrate, reasoning mind, this cannot be unf sort of real love at all, for lov is ready to protect., defend and honor its object, even to the extent of self- sacrifice and self-abnegation. But the vounff mind that supposes itself in love is not always temperate or rea tollable, and may be for the time quit unbalanced so that it jumps precipe tstely from .. fierce , love to frenzied hatred, 'and then murder is likely to follow, and . suicide frequently .sue ceeds the murder.

If he truly loved her, he would prefer her happiness to his own. or if he could not "so so far as that he would reason truly that to gain a Woman who did not love him would not make him happy; and so, sensible though in love, he .would carry his ."broken" heart oft, the Iield or oeteat ana let Dr, Time knit it together again, as he soon would do,' and would find consolation ere kmgm the love of some woman "just as good," very likely better. .

' This; too, we suppose, is a form of insanity. In a multitude of cases no hody, and an alienist no more than anybody else, can tell where sanity ends and insanity begins. There is a sense in which a young man who enacts such a tragedy is surely insane, bat we think he is not in a sense that should excuse him from his crime. But in this "sad , case, as ' in many others, the love-craxed youth relieved the doctors, and lawyers of determin ing whether he was at the moment legally . sane or not, H e paid th e highest possible penalty for his crime, and all that the world cart do is to show what sympathy it may be able to express to the two grief-stricken families in this time of their heavy affliction."--', '. -- - -.. v- .'.". ANOTHER EMINENT PREVARI ,'.V CATOR. : 1 - HWa 'HE PUBLICATION of an old ; letter of Mr. Harriman's about that tnuch-diicussed .Republican campaign fund of 1904, in which he says, that he contributed $50,000 of a suddenly raised rot of $200,000, at President Roosevelt's request or sug- wthat any such statement is "a deliber ate and wilful untruth by rights should' be characterized by shorter. uglier word.? And the president add "I never requested Harriraan to raise a dollar for the 'presidential campaign fund in 1904." In brief, Harriraan was a liar, like so many others who have come into contact in one way or an other, with the president. . As between the president and Har nman, we suppose the country will give the former the benefit of any doubt that may exist though, there appears to be no reason why . Ham- man should hare written these false hoods to Webster in a private letter, never intended . for. publication; and ic must be admitted that' the presi dent's list of , liars is becoming long and heavy., i It was denied that the insurance companies contributed to that cam paigrt fund, but it was proven that they did, and some of the money has been refunded, not by Cortelyou, but by : Perkins. That Harrimaa has played a very active part in New1 York ndjjtigsl , politics, wrlLlcnowry and it would not be at all surprising if he had rustled up $200,000 for boodle fund in a supposed emergency but the president denies that this was done at his request and in considers tion of certain action on his part, and we will have to believe him, though we sometimes fear that he forgets what lie has said and done. . Whatever the facts in this instance, the president would save the people the strain of having to swear by him so often if he would confine his activ ities more .strictly to his great duties and not meddle so much in political campaigns. People become a little tired of having to believe that so many people are liars on so many occasions. Just, before the 104 elec tion the' president denounced Judge Parker most savagely as a liar, but tt turned out later that Parker substan tially told the truth. We could find it possible to believe that Harriman might utter a statement not Strictly conformable to truth, but if is strange indeed if he made such statements with no foundation for them. THE GREAT WHITE PLAGUE. A' DDED - HOPE . is 1 being held out for consumptives in a new treatment , by. vaccine vinocula tion reported from Tufts col lege, and said to have been used with much , success. In the treatment the vaccine stimulates the action of the opsonins in the' blood and enables them to more firmly. , resist the tubercle bacilli "when" the latter af tacks th vital organs. '" ' :'"'v The' report makes doubly interest ing the announcement of Dr. von Behring of Berlin that -tubercle ba cilli mostly find lodgment in the hu man body in the babyhood period, and that they cojme from .mothers' milk or from the milk of tubercular cows. Dr. von Behring is the dis coverer of 1 diphtheria antitoxin and equal ' authority on ' tuberculosis with Dr. Koch, discoverer of the tubercle bacilli. : Dr. von Behring claims that the bacilli remain inactive in the body until conditions appear that are favorable to their develop ment, when they become active and begin a deadly attack on the vital organs. A source of milk infection may not only be front tuberculosis cows," but there-4s-lika-danger from milk exposed to the open air and approached by consumptive persons. An episode that emphasizes Dr. von Behring's contention is that a Royal commission on tuberculosis after .six years of investigation has reported that, in a majority of instances tuber culosis is contracted through use of infected milk. , The Koch theory that thtxhief avenue Jor contracting the disease , is through dried sputum floating as dust in the air, is rejected by Dr. von Behring, who, "however, wooded 'land lying neafV large "city will remain, but instead of being private .demesne of some ' roulti millionaire, sedulously guarded round against the ingress of tresspassers. it wtir be thronaed" daily and- espe cially on the weekly rest day with all torts and conditions of. people, who will there find rest and recreation and be .benefited in body,, mind, and souL .If Mr. Rockefeller would spend his millions in doing the ssme . for other cities, we are not sore that he would not do more good in this way than by giving his money to the col leges. However that may be, Cleve land, has a right to regard him as a good and great friend, as any city must regard any rich man who makes a like gift. -. . A RAILROAD MAN'S NOTABLE . STATEMENT. : k M R. B. F. YOAKUM, chairman of the' board of , directors of the Rock Island 'system, re cently made a statement con cerning the railroads relations to the public - that - is - refreshingly- in con- trast with the utterances of some of the railroad presiddtits and managers. He said, in part: A railroad haa no mora cause to be at the merer of the stock Jobbers than i aavinga bank or a life Insurance com pany. The lAmarlcan railroads are or should b aa much publlo trust as theae IniUtOttona. Whan tha publlo In alsta that they ba run boneatly thay will basin to fulfill ' thalr rtshMul daatlny. andj too, thay will ba mora prosperous than thay hare ever baen. I will ba rrank. - The people are not without Justification In their belief that the railroads have bean systematically robbing them. It la not altoe-ether fair to put It lust that way, but navartha lass tha publlo haa for rears been pay- Ins out a areat deal of money for some thing it did not always set. No one la to blame for tha present anti-railroad sentiment but tha railroad managers themselves. Now tha day of reckoning; haa coma, and It will prove a blessing- not only to the nation, but to the railroads. ' For In almost every case where there have ben illegal operations they have bean la the Interest, not of the roads, but of the men who control the roads. Very often the roads have Buffered heavily, frequently they have been, wrecKea. v Mr. Yoakum went on to say that he did not believe any' lasting damage would be done the railroads by the criticism , to - which they are . being ubjected. The properties exist, are in good physical condition, and their earning capacity was never so. great What is needed is a return of public confidence "based on a real and open hange in methods." Speculation, he said, should be ' in : actualities, not hot. ... air-fWater 4a. bound r to-be squeezed out The paramount prob lem is the control pf rates, and with .practical plan of. federal supervis ion in operation most ... managerial abuses would , vanish. Mr. Yoakum does not believe in government own ership of rsilroads, but he does be- eve "in the ownership of tha rail roads by the people.",'. This he would couple with strict federal supervision. Mr. Yoakum the more readily turns federal control because he "does find tome , cause for uneasiness in possibly radical and diverse state leg islation, but aside from this consider ation his . talk is of the right kind, and shows that he has a broad, firm grasp of the situation and dares to state It . fairly and truthfully.' He frankly acknowledges the wrong do ing of the -railroads, and says it must be corrected. They must put them selves, right before the people and then they will have no trouble with the people; It -may-very-aafely' be assumed that if 'railroad presidents, managers - and Financiers generally had . been men like Mr. Yoakr-' all this furore would have been avoided. But he is only one among many. and as the subject had been long and thoroughly discussed, it musl be sup posed the people have considered the matter vwell and .will go ahead to carry out this policy. If well man aged, we, believe it to be a good one, and that Eugene will not regret the step taken. ' . ' ' ' ,' Now President Roosevelt has added to his long lift of liars the most-eminent figure of them all E. II. Harri man. . We would not say that Mr. Harriman couldn't tell a lie, but his story and concurrent events have good deal of manifest verisimilitude. Since the president is so greatly in favor of the ship subsidy bill, it "will probably be passed by the next con gress, which ought to. render several hitherto solidly Republican western states doubtfuL . 1 I So far, however, ex-Senator f Bur ton has not been admitted to the So ciety of National Muckrakers. .

A 'That two sarbaaa crematories are needed in Portland, was tha opinion ex pressed by Councilman John Annahd at the meeting of the health board yes terday afternoon... Mr. Annand believed there, should ba one crematory on tha wast side and another on tha aaat aide. Dr. A. J. Gtesy, one of the commis sioners, thought a new crematory should ba built on tha wast . aide first, and others built as necessity required. ' Mr. Annand stuck to his opinion that tha east aide should have a crematory. and upon motion of Dr. Esther C Pohl of. the board he was Instructed to find a suitable site for such an establish ment. Mr. Annand agreed to perform tha task. It is - not probable that an aaat aide crematory will be built, aa all the funds available for , tha - purpose amount only to $110,000, and 10000 of this suss will' go for the construction of the west side crematory. ; curious coins M DM MUDS 'V Contest for Honor of Owning .
