THE S. P. LAND GRANT.
EVERTBODY knows that the
Southern ; Pacific company
' should be held, should long
ago have been held, to a strict
compliance with the terms by
which It secured a great land grant
in Oregon. Everybody knows, and
all the Judges and lawyers know,
that the Southern Pacific has not
a- shadow or scintilla of , an equit
able leg to stand on In Its conten
tion that It. Is not obliged to keep
the terms of its contract, of which
It was In any event the great bene
ficiary ,s with the government, .
Everybody knows that' It 'there
were "a square. deaL'if thla great
corporation were treated as k poor
private citlien Is treated In the de
partments and the courts. It would
have been compelled long ago to live
up to Its contract or forfeit Its land
grant , The government as been
very busy In recent years holding up
claims of poor settlers to quarter
sections, and requiring ' them to
show full compliance . with the law
and entire good faith, while it has
allowed and still allows; this, cor
poration to defy the law, to hold
millions of acres of land unlawfully
and In plain violation of Us agree
ment, and to hold back tor years
and even decades the settlement and
development of a large section of
the state of Oregon. ' ' .
There Is no "square deal" or Jus
tice about this, and there Is not an
officer . ot the ; government,' from
President Roosevelt down to the
Janitor of the eustom house, that
does not know It. In the face of
such manifest and conspicuous fa
voritism to a corporation, such per
sistent protection of it In maintain
ing Its clearly and indisputably un
lawful grip upon millions of acres
of the public domain, we cannot
blame people of a large portion of
Oregon for answering laudations ot
our "square deal" government with
a bitterly contemptuous sneer.
Senator Bourne and Representa
tive Hawley are working to loosen
the robber grip of this corporation
on these millions of acres ot land,
but we have little hope of their ac
complishing anything. ; The corpora
tions own congress, even the admin
lstratlon has its corporation friends,
and the courts have especially dis
torting lenses In viewing such cases
that changes ' black to white and
makes wrong light.- ; :: ,
. THE PRESIDENT'S ADVICE ;
V' NEEDED. r'.i
WE .v HOPE the ' president,
though full of business,
will not overlook the mu
, V nlclpal campaign In Port
land. Lest he might do so, we sug
gest that some prominent Republi
can write to the president and ask
him, after the candidates are all in
the field, to tell the Voters what he
desires they should do. , Perhaps he
ould not like to discriminate as
In tween Messrs Coffey, Devlin, Kel
laher and Zimmerman; but If he has
any choice,' and. surely he must
1, are, It would be a great help to
H at man and to the voters If. he
a ould express his deatre publicly. '
And after the Republican nomin
ation Is made, if not before,' the
premtdent's Instructions will be rs
rtved with much, favor, providing
b will uneaulTDCavIly lndorac thl
candidate, lt him b warned that
Mr. Thomas la a Democrat, and that
Lane, who mar get sereral Totee,
If be should become an Independent
candidate, la alao! a Democrat, and
let the president be respectfull bat
urgently requested to warn the
rotors of Portland that the sana
tion of the country depends on the
election of Zimmerman -or who
efer the Republican candidate may
be. : " "'
We suppose It would be Impos
sible for Root; Taft or Bonaparte to
come out here to trlre verbal In
struct Ion a, but perhaps Cader Powell
might be granted a vacation long
enough to come down and speak for
the administration. - '
THE PEOPLE. ARE ENTITLED
TO THE FACTS. ,
E!
ITHER the TrusU contributed
to the last Republican cam
paign fund or they did not.
It they did, the people rant
to know it, and how much and what
the money was used for, and whether
promises were made to them In con
sideration ; for such contributions,
and If so, by whom made, and what
those promises were. , All this In
formation the people are demanding,
and they have a right to It. That
some Trust contributions were made
Is known;' but . let us know all
about it , : :: ;
It the Trusts made contributions
to their campaign fund, either Presi
dent ' Roosevelt knew it, or he did
not It be knew It, he also knew
Why the Trusts did so, and about
what they expected. . Though there
was no promise on his part, he knew
that there was an Implied promise
on the part of those representing
him." particularly Chairman Cortel-
you. Hence be can reaairy nnaer
stand Harrlman's inquiry: ; ''Where
do I ntandf? In other words,
Wouldn't that Jar you to be re
fused something you had paid .for?"
If the president knew, yet he put
Cortelyou In his cabinet, and pro
moted him. -, It the president did not
know, he knows now, in .part at
least and yet he keeps .Cortelyou in
the cabinet and does not call on him
to make the facts known. .; ,
The. -president stigmatized Judge
Parker as a liar, when, it seems,
Parker told the truth! If the presi
dent does not "owe an apology to
Parker, he owes an .explanation, or
a disclosure ot the whole truth, tb

A LONG, STUBBORN FIGHT.
I
N THE railroad ..building fever
following the war, , St Clair
county, Missouri, among r many
others, issued county bonds in
aid of a projected railroad. ' The
road was not built, but - through
some legal Jugglery the 'courts held
that the bonds must nevertheless be
paid, and entered Judgment against
the county accordingly In 1876. To
secure the payment . of the Judg
ment H is necessary tor the county
court to order a tax levy. ' This the
court has refused, to do., Each suc
cessive county Judge , must success
fully evade the United .Statea. mar
shals or spend his term in Jail for
contempt of court So far not one
holder of the office has refused to
do what the people expect of him,
and no tax has been levied nor a dol
lar on the bonds paid. ,
This is a fine example from one
point of view, of resisting a wrong,
yet It probably would have been
better for the county to nave suf
fered the injustice and injury and
tiald. According to the Chicago
Tribune, in mentioning this curious
case, tne county )na ,. luuenju,
.... . . . , X
Public improvements have been at
a standstill. Capital has been re
pelled. The rising generations have
grown up to believe that laws are
not binding. ' Court has been held
bv stealth. The county as a whole
and the people . of. it individually
have lost more than the value of the
bonds. When Minnesota paid re
pudiated bonds ths advertisement of
honesty was worth much more than
the expense amounted to. To pay
the St. Clair county bonds would
cost about 15 for every man, wo
man and child In the county. It
would be worth it."
This -is probably a correct ' view.
yet we cannot withhold some meas
ure of ' admiration from those
staunch country people who tor 81
years have successfully resisted, an
unjust Judgment
Frequently we read In the routine
court reports . of the divorce of
couples who have been divorced be
fore and have remarried.. Sometimes
they come back for a' second divorce
within a few months or even weeks
of remarriage. Unless the statutes
compel the granting of such decrees,
they ought not to be granted. Di
vorces are far too easily obtained
already; it has got so that almost
any old excuse, and that in many
cases an invention, will do to secure
a divorce; but couples that have re-
married after knowing all ' about
each other ought thereafter to be
denied another divorce, for) a few
years at least ' -. " 1 '. ' . ,
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. ,
E'
FFORT IS making in the finan
cial behalf of Willamette unt-
verslt. A gift of 5 0,0 00 for
a new building, and another
of
$6,000 for improvement of the
campus, are on a basis that the cur
rent expenses of the year be met and
a suitable endowment be raised by
June 1. Members of the faculty have
contributed 13,000 for the endow
ment, and the students have added
f 1,200. The alumni association has
been appealed to, and loyal gradu
ates are responding generously.
The movement deserves universal
and cordial sympathy. The insti
tution is the oldest establishment
of higher learning in the state. The
history of "Old Willamette" (ls the
history ot Oregon. The Influence
of the TOO or 800 graduates that
have gone out from her classic halls,
and ot the thousands ot undergrad
uates who have : taken instruction
there, has been a powerful agent for
wise and intelligent state building.
There is a reason why Oregon clti
senshlp is substantial, intelligent
and sound beyond the ordinary,
and undoubtedly Willamette uni
versity has been one of the fac
tors that made It so. It is cause for
the alumni association, and tor all
Oregon, : for that . matter, to rally
around "Old Willamette." now that
the hand of an unknown and gener
ous benefactor is stretched out to
aid. -V - " i
The denominational institution
has its place in the plan of education
and it is an extremely useful place.
It is a niche the state and other in
stitutions do not fill. : Because of
this, and because- of what she has
done and yet can do, let the his
toric university with its wealth of
traditions, be generously supported.
Ambassador Bryce says that the
first thing to do to bring about
peace is "not to Induce pride in mil-,
ltary and naval forces,' drawing with
It the temptation ta use armaments
which a country" has taxed . itself
heavily v. to maintain.". This , senti
ment ; will be unpopular in some
circles, but will -gala ground. The
glory of men killing each other
and destroying the people's sub
stance Is losing Its bid-time luster.
It Is reported that jJ'Mr. .Thomas'
candidacy ror mayor nas tasen a
turn for the better during the past
week," . the , reason assigned being
"the Democrats had about made up
their minds that there would be but
one Democratic nominee for mayor
at the coming primaries." That is,
if no other Democrat' is voted for,
Mr. Thomas will be nominated. He
knows of at least one vote .that he
will get.
, Observing what Mr. Carnegie has
done for education and how he does
it, Collier's offers "8100 to any col
lege that will raise 81.000.000 to
ward, a fund, to; be known as the
Collier Education Endowment and
will - use Collier . stationery in its
correspondence from this time on."

The April number of the Oregon
Teachers' Monthly, published at
Salem, contains a large number of
very Instructive articles on various
branches of primary and advanced
education. This is a publication
valuable to every teacher.

i The industrious young burglar
caught Wednesday morning made a
bad mistake in choosing a lodging

Now a disagreement of the' Blnger
Hermann Jury is quite likely. The
prosecution proved a lot of sus-
plclous and damaging circumstances,
and the defendant's good reputation
was vouched for by a large number
of more or less eminent office-hold
era, or exs. . But Blnger has one
advantage over Thaw; he won't have
to go to Jail while awaiting another
trial. ,;
Harriman must go, says Frlck;

found him out as they do now, and
he was good enough for them then.

That Alleged "Conspiracy.
From th Ban Franoisoo Chronicle. '
' That Measrs. Harriman, Rogers, Hill,
Morgan and others are utterly oppoeed
to the renomlnatlon of Roosevelt or
the nomination of any representative of
his policy In respect to high finance is
doubtlesa true.. That among them they
would make up a fat purse to defeat
any such thing ' is beyond question.
That they have formed an organisation
for defeating anyone favored by Roose
velt is unlikely. To suppose that they
have taken William Randolph Hearst
Into their camp la absurd. When H. H.
Rogers saya-that "the strongest con
servatism is needed in our government"
one may be very sure that he did not
have Mr. Hearst particular In mind.
We do not believe in the exlsteno of
any formal conaplracy of capitalists at
tnts esriy period lor ths purpose of
controlling the Republican nomination
for the presidency, becauae w think the
alleged conspirators too amart to en
gage in a conspiracy at this time. We
do not know that the term conaplracy,
by the way. la any more applicable to
a combination to defeat Mr. Rooaevelt's
candidate than to a cabinet or other
combination to nominate and elect him.
we suppose that any number of Ameri
ca cltlaens who agree upon a candi
date or policy are entitled to consult
together, even if very wealthy men,
without being called - "conspiratora, a
term which of Itself implies that peo
ple are engaged tn something pretty
bad leae majesty, for example. - There
are some of the policies with which
President Roosevelt has been identified
to which the people of the United States
ar Irrevocably committed. Among them
is tne doctrine tbat the rich shall obey
th laws and shall not oommlt fraud.
If we understand publte sentiment, that
or Americans Is that it 1 beet for all
that private enterprise shall do every
thing which 1 posalble to private enter
prise, provided ' tbat the great ' fune

The- public la also convinced that the
only way to 'Secure honesty In publio

Closely Watct This
Marriage
"v By Rev." Thomas B. Gregory.-
Th little matrimonial epistle Juat off
the carpet In th City of Brotherly Liove
deserves to be carefully, watched.
Thoma Wllklnaon of New Tork loved
a daughter of Old England. It waa 14
year ago that th Baxon lassl began
to tug away at the .heartstrings of the
Oolham youngster, and ever sine that
time Wilkinson has been dreaming of
a fortune not dealt with la Bradatreet's
or heard of in Wall street - '
In other woras, Thomas Wllklnaon,
soroon as he had mtngled hi glances
with those of the Lancashire - beauty,
had visions of that oasis In th desert
of life called "Home," and. assuming
that lu his case, at least, th coura of
true love waa deetlned to run smooth,
began forthwith to "prepare a place"
for th fair-eyed stranger whose love
look had so transformed bis hitherto
eommonplac existence.

by earing a flower nas no perium.
Charm. In a woman. Is a subtla a thing
aa oerfum tn a flower,
It doe not pertain to peraonal ap
pearance; It doea not pertain to aocom
pllahmenta: It doea not pertain to man
aer, education, dreea or oonveraaUon,
yet It permeates all these.
And without It all of these are ren
dered meaningless.'

. A woman may be fasolnatlng without
being charming, - ,
She may faaclnat with smiles and
ooquetrtea, whloh we know ar instnesr,
but which, nevertheless, hold us in
SPelL '
But th charming woman is almost
alwava en unselfish woman.
8b forgets herself when sn is in tn
presence of others, or shall I say thai
h remembers herself and her duty to
be agreeable. -'
I think perhaps It is this higher eon
selouanesa of self th better self
which makes a large portion of charm
of manner. !. -, ?
Tb charming woman never allow
th eonvereatlon to dwell long upon
herself, and ah never monopolises th
conversation. . .
She lead others ta talk, and Is inter
ested In what others say and do.
The charming woman Is always tact
fuL - - :' -
She avoid th topic tbat ar dis
tasteful to other and Introduces those
which will be agreeable, . - -
;...'..
Ths charming woman' usually pos
sesses a certain amount Of feminine
vanity she like to please, not only to
pleas th mind and the heart but tn
ye.
Bh usually dreesea becomingly and
takes excellent care of bar person, so
that sh xhals an atmoapher , of
beauty, even if sh poass no abso
lute beauty of fao or form.
The woman lamed for ner beauty is
rarely- charming, because sh haa been
ao spoiled and fettered from th cradle
un that her heart la almoet always de
void of tb sympathy which muat form
a strong part of charm. When a beau
tiful woman la unselfish ana sympa
thetic and loving her charm usually b-

It was aald that Madam Recamlar
waa as beloved by ber own sex as she
waa admired by tn opposite.' Sh waa
goodness and charm personified, an Well
aa beauty. A woman friend aald of her
onoe: "First of all. sh 1 good; then
ah Is brilliant; then she la beautiful.
- Ninon -d L Encloa, who . waa not
'good." Ilk Recamler. waa charming.
In aplt of her free and easy morals.

upon th world. Her moral derellotlona
are forgotten in her charm.- ' -

women, and to th age of 14 retained
her hold upon th affections of both
ixea. i -
Charm must spring from an affection
ate, nature and from a heart which de
sires to give pleasure rather than to be
admired.-.' '- v- . - v
But the charming woman, usually re
ceives more admiration than th profes
sional beauty, th great genius, on the
most brilliant of her sex who do not
possess charm.
Of all compliments a woman can re
ceive, th - greatest la to be called
"charming" whan 'goodness" 1 added.
The Portland Way.
From the San Diego Union.
Those enterprising Portland people
hav a way ot aecompllablng results
that la worthy of imitation elsewhere.
Recently, when it was desired to raise
lOO.ooo to complete the isaO.eoe which
Is to be put Into a new building for the
Toung Men'e and Toung Women's Chris
tian Aaaoeution. a' plan waa adopted
that was probably as likely to bring re
sults aa any that could be devised.
Members of the organisation and their
friends had been engaged for many
months In the uphill task of raising the
large sura required, but In spit ot all
their efforts there , was still 1(0,000
needed. Then an appeal waa made to
the bualneaa men of Portland. - They
responded by placing at th service of
the finance commute for six hours
dally 100 of their best solicitors.' Then
th latter went to wora, ana in six
days ralaed th .full tf 0,000, and K.000
to snare. It la aatd that they put in
th hardeat six days of their lives. But
th desired result waa more than
achieved. Moreover, success cam at a
time when th members of th associa
tion were thoroughly discouraged-over
th large sum that remained to be
raised aiter th field seemed to have
been thoroughly canvassed.
It seems that tha Incident baa some
suggestion tbat ar worth considering.
Thar is often difficulty In raising
funds for worthy objects." If the Port
land plan teaches anything. It Is that
when it comes to putting through a task
of this sort, the business men of the
community ar th ones that can bring
rasalts when onci they put their shoul
ders to tha wheel. Of course they ar
not expected to do ao every week or
vary month. But ss a laat resort. In
a desperate ease, they ar probably
more effective than any other means
that can be employed. .
