THE INTERVENTION . of I the coast ; Jcbben, t presented - by Mrr Tealrte a . Teryclear revelation to the commission, and to the railroads, of tba whole situation. Spokane cannot expect to win, or to deserve to win, ita con- tentlon on its representation of only one phase or feature of the complex problem.. Mr. Teal , clearly shows that to grant what Spokane contends for wou'i be not only unjust to the coast cities, bat Inimical to the rail roads. Th'ey have already1 favored Spokane, with respect to westbound freight, - ceyond any other Interior city, and Jiave helped 'Spokane al most to monopolise the Jobbing: trade throughout a large surrounding re gion. Now, if there la to be any reduction In rates, it should be in hauls from the coast cities to interior points, rates that if not actually raised . have not Been lowered tlnce the railroads were built. ; With low rates from eastern centers and high rates from Portland and sound cities to 8pokane that town has been get ting the larger portion tot the "pork" for years, but bow it ; wants the -"whole hog." ; If the railroads' cannot success fully defend themselves against the demands of Spokane, they will find themselves, losing the local traffic from our eeaporta.,to the interior. for the water- route Is always open. and In the cse of most of our im portations can be utilized.

Trust, i the Coal Trust, the Sugar Trust, the Oil Trust, the Tobacco Trust, the Steel Trust, the Insurance Trust, , the National Banks and the six great ' Railroad Trusts contributed to Mr. Cortelyou? It meant Mr. Cortelyou as chairman of the national . Republican ; com mittee. 'V. -A V'V'V .:'. Mf Cortlvou. then as toow, was silent. Mr. Parker, Democratic candi date for president, charged that these trusts - has contributed to ina , ite publican campaign fund, as an invest ment, of course. ' President Roose velt hotly denounced Parker as a liar.: Since then it has been shown that at least the Insurance Trust and . the: head of one great Railroad Trust did contribute large sums, ot money . to Mr. Cortelyou. And it is not unfair to , assume that the pther . trust named, except one, did the same, y Nevertheless the president has not dona just whst some of these trusts would have 'had done, or has done some "".things that t. displeased fhero. Perhaps hc really did not know oi their contributions, except in the ease of Mr Dear Mr. Harriman." He says any such contributions, if made. have not influenced his .administra tion and this seems to be borne out by th facts.. The people are willing and ready to trust him far, ana win not condemn , him i if without his knowledge these trusts did contrib ute ta the Republican xampalgn fund that year. But they do want to know and have a right to know the facts, hence the World makes only a rea sonable demand when it asks him to compel Mr., Cortelyou to "open up the books," and let the people know the facts. .- v v P; ; , The resident, the World notes, has already answered as to the Tobacco Trust, the statement having - been made with apparent authority by the president tbat,th trust and indepen; dent manufacturers being in a con test, contributions were refused from both: or at least $70,000 offered by the independents was declined. But how about tha other trusts! II they did not contribute, the president and Mr. Cortelyou. .should, be glad to make that fact public If they did, how much, and for what? ' Are all of them which the president has attacked or ' threatened repeating Mr.' Harrt- man's amaxed inquiry: "Where do I stand?" , ' " ', The facts as to th contributions of all these trusts ought.to be made known. Let us know hoax mush they gave to help elect Roosevelt whom they could not thereby buy after all. and then we may figure a little on how much they might probably; con tribute to elect a.maa -wLom- they could own. "Mr. Cortelyou is ailent. The books .are tightly closed. But the president can make him open up the hooks. Let the people know, Mr Cortelvou. where tine money came from and how it was used. , v BUT IT CANT BE DONE. AFTER quoting in full a recent - editorial of The Journal, the jCjLj Hood River News-Letter says: i"We wonder why The Journal did not coma right out "boldly and say Just what It knows to be facta regarding the liquor business instead of asking 'does it pay?' It is folly. tha News-L'Uer says, to talk about eliminating the lfquf r traffic slowly or by graduations, but it must be crushed put tuddenly... "This talk of killing a rattler by cutting oft Its buttons 1 1 nonsense. Cut tha head off. . Eliminate tha Internal revenue, the saloon license, the government 'protection' and "ee how aooa the debauching traffic will cease." The illustration might be improved. For instance: If an odious moun tain were to be raxed and its material distributed over an adjacent valley nobody would attempt to do the Job by butting into the mountain . and trying . to knock it over bodily and at once. One would at the outset recognise its sixe and solidity, and proceed to move it by degrees. V i The Journal does not advise at tempts to j exterminate the liquor traffic by one fell swoop because it knows such an effort would only ex haust and disappoint those engaged in it. and accomplish nothing. ' We have watched the prohibitionists for many years and observed that as such they have . accomplished little, because they could not arouse public sentiment to back tb em, and could not tret the otes to enable them to do anything. And they are getting proportionately no more votes, as a prohibition party,' than they , got 20 years or more ago. J V To carry out tha News-Letter's program, we must have itate legisla tures. contTess. all the chief execu tive officers of the country, and the courts,- And to get these you must first ret the votes. It is tnaniiest that the votea to make a battering- ram that will knock the mountain over at a tremendous blow can't be obtained, but- the votes to raxe the mountain piece-meal can be and are being obtained. . . Admit all the facts claimed about the evils of the liquor traffic, and the question is not changed. This is a country of law. and there are only two ways, to change laws, by votes 6f by revolution. - Aad if the votes are not obtainable, a . revolution: must needs fail This i a very practical matter, and 'must be treated and should be discussed along practical lines. The mountain is not mist, but solid. It is built up largely of what we all value if not worship, money. A mouhtainof money and varied lnT terwoven industries and interests is not to be blown over by small swirl ing currents of hot air.' , , ' ' r ! A FLIMSY ARGUMENT. I OUR MORNING contemporary urges the constroction of a new Bull Run jipe line, to cost, per : haps $3,000,000, but attempts an argument against meters, saying that with them many people would not use water, enough. Thia has very little fotce' when the total cost of all the water necesaajry to be, used in an ordinary household would probably cot exceed 50 or 60 cents a month. That people to save five or ten cents a month would not wash themselves but would prefer to become filthy and diseased is not an argument like-, ly to appeal to many. But without meters the-great and almost unlimited waste, will go on, and increase. With another $3,000,000 pipe Una and no meters, ' the waste will amount to many millions of gallons daily, and it won't be many years till still another pipe line, to cost even more, will be required, and perhaps another source of supply besides Bull Run must .be found. Meters will eventually be a necessity, and the Sooner they are made a part of the water system the better. With them, a second pipe line will be all that will be necessary fof many years.- ' f , , ONLY ONE ROOSEVELT. P HE Philadelphia' North Ameri- I , can is not m tavor ot Koorevelt X for another term, a third term as some will hsve it, yet after quite an extended inquiry it Finds that a very large majority of the peo ple questioned are unequivocally for him for another term, while less than one per cent expressed hostility to ward him.- Large numbers of people, the North American says, "are so strongly for Roosevelt that they can fee nobody else." Hundreds expressed the opinion that . "he alone can be trusted to carry on the work that he has begun." If this be true, it carries with It a rather severe reflection upon several Tother . prominent Republican leaders. And this "amaxing popular strength," the North American says, "has been won -against odds. From the dsy ; he took office President Roosevelt haa been opposed by the most powerful leaders of his party. With ever-Increasing foice have the huge resourcea of the corporations been brought to bear against him. State machines have secretly and openly maneuvered to his hurt." Then how inconsistent it is for a convention or a committee to praise Roosevelt and the Republican party in the sam breath. The people trust and rely on him, it seems, because he haa broken loose from the Republican leaders and. bosses. Odell, For.ker, Fairbanks and others or seems to have done so to some extent. It ap pears that, the more he wbacka the chief leaders and financial aupporters of the Republican psrty, the stronger and more popular he becomes with the people. . ' The Philadelphia paper, however, while greatly admiring Roosevelt, and standing "read; to back him to the limit," thinks that "his pledges against accepting a nomination in 1908 could not be disregsrded( without a fatal loss of 'dignity and feputstion. And we are persuaded that there will be no necessity lot such action. IIow cver sincere and capable President Roosevelt may, be,, there are other men of aufficient integrity and force to continue the policies which he haa inaugurated. To deny this would be to cast grave doubts upon the effi ciency and stability of the republican form of government." ' k ? It ia easy to say this, but when the field .is looked over, where and in whom will the North American find another republican Rooaevelt? , Aa we remarked a few days ago, there is but one in sight the senator from Wis consin; but Jhe president does not seem to have picked on him as his successor. .

The' proposition of Ella Clews Par sons la her book, "Tba Family," to make marriage a trial ceremony, seems to suggest unnecessary troable and ex penae for man and women.
