WAR TALK.
V V.
af4H0UQH a war cannot, be caused
I entirely by foolish talk, thla
, .. A may be one cause of a war, If
v one should ensue. High public
officials who Indulge In bombastic
. and belligerent talk are enemies of
their own country more than of the
"other. Military and naval officers
of high degree are prone to verbal
belligerency; war is their trade, and
they neither get killed nor pay the
: taxes, but may gain promotion and
"glory." Some politicians nd so
called statesmen are also volubly
warlike; they have nothing to lose
and possibly something to gain.
Wartime if always a time of great
'f grafts.
The press Is a power for or against
; war. It la supposed to voice public
sentiment; it does so partly, and In
such a case partly makes public sen-
ttment, too. The press should speak
: ' for peace, not war. The press cannot
1 advocate supine non-resistance to in-
- suits and unwarrantable aggressions,
" of course; but It should be slow to
' advocate resort to war, as one should
.Jj .""low to. wrath."
' i kAs to Japan, nothing has occurred
as yet' to Justify any serious talk of
war In consequence. The efforts of
' press and public men should be to
. help plan such future arrangements
. with Japan, and with other nations,
aa will obviate war, or any menace
of war on alight provocation.
War. that. byany. reasonable ar-
rangement or mutual concessions
can be avoided is the height of crim
inal tolly. .. Let the Influential people
of the nation address' themselves to
the problem of such arrangements
and concessions, rather than begin
bristling up and talking, war every
time some trivial unpleasantness oc-
:cura.rv'I
i , War-thought and war-talk are not
-an exhibition of patriotism, though
come strutting officers and pseudo
: statesmen may imagine it so; rather
the contrary. The true patriot will

HE JOURNAL recently alluded
to the decision of Judge Mc-
Pberson of the federal court,
assuming jurisdiction of the
state two-cent fare law In Missouri,
expressing the opinion that the fed
eral oourfr had exceeded its proper
functions In this action. Governor
Folk In his Fourth of July address
at Evansvllle, Indiana, took a similar
view, saying:
Nowhere Is thla ancroAchment on tha
rights of the atate more marked than
in the wholesale nullification of the
tate lawa by federal courts without
hearing and before trial. The reault
la, unless the consent of a railroad can
be obtained to pending legislation, the
atate becomea pownrlesa. No good cltl-
en dealres to be unjuat to rail road a,
but that they must be regulated and
that the states should not be left aa
mere Subjects of thejr benevolence all
must admit -No one could object to a
court, state or federal, declaring the
statute unconstitutional, if found to be
so after hearing. But there should be
protest against statutes of the atates
being auapended aa presumptively bad
until the case Is determined. This Is
like punishing a man first and trying
him afterwards. A number of Impor
tant lawa of the state of Missouri aro
now embalmed by the federal Injunction
veto. In the couraa of years, when the
cases are tried, the court will probably
bold they are valid, but they might as
well be killed aa to be chloroformed by
Injunction until their vitality la gone.
It seems to us that this criticism.
though caustic, is well merited and
timely. And in saying so we do not
deny or controvert the proposition
that the federal government must be
the main agency in regulating and
controlling railroads. This must be
so because most transportation that
needs regulation Is Interstate, and
this the states, acting severally, can
not regulate. The federal govern
ment should take the lead, and states
should legislate with reference to
and In accordance with federal laws.
But It does not follow that atates
cannot or should not legislate to
suit themselves, and when they do
so It aeems to be Incontrovertible
that the state courts and other state
authorities should adjudicate and
execute state laws. If the question
raised Is one of the constitutionality
of the law, then, as Governor Folk
says, a federal court may properly
assume Jurisdiction, under certain
circumstances, but In the Missouri
case the question of constitutionality
was not raised. Judge McPherson
proposes to test, himself, by experi
ment, a state law and decide upon
the result, not whether It Is constltu
tional but the question of fact
whether the two-cent fare Is reason
able or not.
As to the two-cent fare laws that
have been passed by a dozen states,
we think they are not well consid
ered or wise legislation. The people
are not complaining much about
fares, and In the case of many west
ern roads we think three cents a
mile is low enough. Aside from this,
It was poor policy. These laws gave
the railroads a cbance to say they
were being persecuted, and an excuse
to raise freight rates and give poor
service.

Gold Wearied Multl-Millionaires
RAILROADS IN CANADA.
C
ainaua is relatively developing
and prospering more than the
United States because the gov
ernment in part owns and ex
erclses control over the great Cana
dian Pacific railway system. That
great railroad is not owned or con
trolled by any Harrlman, who can
sit in his office In Wall street and
prevent its extension into fertile, re
sourceful territory, but the govern
ment at Ottawa sees to it that the
road is not only run in the interest
of the people, but that extensions
and branches are built far out into
fertile provinces, almost before set
tlement begins, and that settlers are
thus guaranteed transportation facll
Itles as soon aa they can produce
anything to ship away.
Right here In Oregon are thou
sands of square miles of country,
perhaps as good or better, all thlnga
considered, than that which Is being
settled up so rapidly in Winnipeg
and Manitoba, but people will not
go to It and develop It and raise
products on it because Harrlman will
neither build railroads nor allow any
one else to do so. Perhaps If the
government had bad a controlling
voice in the matter Oregon would
have had hundreds of miles more
railroads and hundreds of thousands
more population than It has today.

Over In Washington two boys of
10 years of age, armed with a re

shoot an older youth shot and seri

Isn't a revolver or rifle a fine thing
to place in the hands of boys of this
age? Yet many such boys are taught
to think It Is "smart" and manly to
carry or become familiar with

dreds of tragedies are enacted in

"I think it is a stunner," said the editor, with glee,' . ,., .

For, even in the states, a name like 'Jump' is queer).
So the rival fsogs were matched. The betting grew quite hot,
And the stratfger in the bustle poked the champion full of shot.

And one, in solemn accents, ssid: "Well, and Where's the joke?"

more aghast than ever, and the English
