It must be that be and the big secretary of war do not realize what is going on along the coast. Why doesn't General Funston speak upT Will not General Greeley rise gloriously to the emergency? For things are doing. Several scores of Japs are In Mexico, armed with Jack knives. In Honolulu a lot of Japs have stored up Beveral bags of rice. On two or three occasions of streams will become more val uable. Mr. McGee suggests that Bull Run, besides supplying drinking water for Portland, could also be made to supply the city with power for various purposes at a compar atively small additional expense, Bonds for an additional pipe line have already been authorized, and might this not, as Mr. McOee sug gests, furnish enough water not only ippeJi to Letter From tkc People Unconstitutionality of Baloon license Portland.

I increment, is indivisible, and should I hen ,t WM nearegt th earth tne ps applied ior tne Denem oi me whole. The$elif d are .worth $60 or $100 or more per acre, and since they belong to the public it would be wrong ln principle to take them away from all the public and confer them upon a small part at $2.60 per acre. The fact that such might be contemplated would vastly weaken the case of forfeiture and vastly strengthen the hand of the railroad, It is of infinite concern to Oregon that this grant question be wisely adjusted. The 3,000,000 acres ln the grant form an empire of possi bilities for the state. Forfeited, Its usufruct devoted to the common school fund would rear a school sys tern of transcendent value to the state. Forfeited, its Increment ap plied to the roads would give Ore gon a system of highways that would be a source Of perpetual thrift and blessing to all her people. Or, if the proceeds, from-it could be ap plied to roads and 'Schools, there would be enough for each to make Oregon a monument of progress and civic splendor. F SENATOR FULTON, as seems to be indicated by his Seaside remarks, is for Fairbanks and against Roosevelt or Roosevelt's choice for president, and If, as seems even more certain, Fairbanks Is the candidate of the "Interests" which Roosevelt has to some extent at tacked, what will be the effect on Fulton's candidacy for the senate next year? And can Fulton, if he desires and tries to do so, send a Fairbanks and an anti-Roosevelt delegation to the next national Re publican convention? The delegates will be chosen by a state convention to be held next spring, and can Ful ton, as a Fairbanks supporter, if he should become such openly and de cidedly, control that convention? And if he cannot, will not that spell probable defeat for him in the pri maries as a candidate for senator? It surely would if the Roosevelt and anti-Fairbanks people could unite on a single opponent to Fulton, but of this there is no present proHpect. Fulton might thus be beaten in the convention and yet carry the pri maries. And what ln the meantime, will Roosevelt's Oregon Fidus Achates Bourne, be doing? Some thing, we may be sure. Fulton as a Fairbanks man will give a little in terest to Oregon Republican politics. . upon thla subject tomorrow (Saturday) , ana mere ng-ht t the First Presbyterian church, a revenue of I nave not heard It, but from the re-noi-u a-lven hv thoae who have heard ft. 10 per cent can be derived from thel we are assured, that for a masterly pre- i a . , tit.- .

Thus far ws have considered chiefly what is spent ln Newport on luxurle and superfluities, but of course there re also th necessities of life, and it la interesting to see how much the fash lon&ble rich manage to spend on such homely things as meat and groceries. There la an old French cook, now the keeper of a quiet hotel on Bellevue avenue, who has lived ln Newport for over u years, and who points with pride on his register to the best names ln our money aristocracy the Astors, Vanderbllts, etc. He has known them all. In and out of season; he has known their chefs and the details of their food supply, and he assures me that J800 a month Is not an exaggerated estimate of the meat bill for a rich family dur ing their stay tn Newport. This In cludes meat, chicken, fish and vege tables for the regular household rou tine, but not for special entertaining. Borne families, he says, spend much more than this thus the meat bill of old Cornelius Vanderbllt used to reach 11.800 a month. And he tells ot a vcrv rich South American, afterward ruined, whose monthly meat bill came to J2,000. The bill for groceries Is about one third of that for meat. It goes without saying that there la enormous waste ln such households and wholesale plundering -by the chefs, but lers, housekeepers, etc., who all receive large commissions from the tradesnen- ple. A general Impression of the cost and complexity of a quiet Newport estab lishment may be obtained by glancing over the following specimen payroll: Yearly UCCUDatlon Unlarv Special chef from Paris : 6,ooo Beoond chef i 200 Private secretary to the lady J.000 Private tutor . nun Ooverneas 1,000 Two nurses 1000 Housekeeper l'ooo Five maids 1,200 Head coachman 1200 oecona ana third coachman i !nn Chauffeur l!ooo Rutler 900 Second butler too Head aardener i nnn Four helpera 2600 ...it uiii! . ini m. atud farm! 1V.UI nv.w - sn nmminar un the year for one OI our multl-mfllionalrea. we may set down the main Items, thus: , Tearly Estimate.

And we know what a Total 1300,000 Three hundred thousand dollars a year; without counting gifts and chari ties, doctors and trained nurses, new horses and automobiles, new furniture and Jewelry, pet dogs with fur-trimmed coats, talking dolls in lace aresses at 1100 each, and numberless Other things. not to omit various lollies, possmiy gambling with thousands or dollars rlskeu by the ladles at "bridge" and tens of thousands by the men at faro, roulette and baccarat! After such a statement we begin to understand the attitude Of a well known Newport couple (the O. H. P. Belmonts), he with an Income of $60,000 and she with an Income of $320,000, who recently admitted that they could scarcely make both ends meet on $1,000 a day. and were so aesperateiy driven to pay their bills that they actually Issued a statement to the newspapers to n uncase clamoring shopkeepers, in deed. It is a matter of common knowl edge that some of the richest and most lavish families of Newport are far from punctilious In paying what they owe. How can they pay what they owe, when they are constantly spending more than their incomes? No doubt ambi tious people, with only $1,000 a day to spend, feel poor when they see rivals spending $2,000 or $S,000 a day, for such there are, and some who might spend $10,000 a day and keep within their Incomes! Perhaps they, too, will soon be complaining that It Is ImpoHsL ble to live properly on $10,000 a day!

The Merest Mention. BULL RUN WATER POWER. S ECRETART M'GEE of the in land waterways commission, who has been in this state for several days, has made an important suggestion with reference to the use of Bull Run water. The commission's business is to invest! gate streams not only with reference to their use for and adaptability to purposes of navigation and transpor tation, but also to discover and sug gest their potentiality as sources of power. The country is gradually awakening to the tremendous Im portance of streams for this purpose, and private individuals and corpora tions are rapidly acquiring or seek ing to acquire exclusive rights to non-navigable streams for the pur pose of "harnessing" and selling the power they afford for transportation. lighting, manufacturing "and other purposes. The people of a city or state as a whole, therefore, should be on the alert to reserve the streams, as far as possible, from cap ture by private and corporate inter ests, for It is clear that as time passes and population of both coun try and cities increases this power But in Germany a Jury is not so im- From the Astorlan.

William January is about to be released at last, and the country congratulates film and his wife and baby. We refuse, however, to al lude to him as "the modern Jean Valjean." His case bears very slight resemblance to that of the hero of Les Miserables. A Detroit stargazer predicts that in five years the United States will be at war with the whole world, which this country will lick. Now will our Jingoes and would-be heroes be satisfied? There's no treaty or law against Japanese laborers having a military drill in the woods is therot who understand the requisites of such an affair and its omission Is hard to account for when it Is remembered that the hero of the hour was the second man ln place, officially, ln the country. and the actual representative of the head of the nation wherever he may be ln a pubiio sense. Joseph Chamberlain's Birthday, Joseph Chamberlain, the eminent Eng lish statesman whose health for some time past has been a matter of grave concern to his friends, was bom July 8, lvi. ln London, when 20 years old he removed to Birmingham and engaged in business. In 1863 he began his po litical career. For five years he was an agitator, chiefly ln support of a national education entirely free from denomina tional control. In 1878 he was unani mously elected president of the Bir mingham school hoard. Thrice elected mayor of Birmingham, he reformed and set ln order the municipal government. deservedly earning the highest reputa tion as a municipal administrator, ite entered parliament in 1876. In 1886 Mr, Chamberlain was president or tne local :overnment board ln Mr. Gladstone's cabinet, but resigned owing to disagree ment with his leader on home rule for Ireland, unon the elevation of Lord Hartington to the peerage Mr. Chamber lain became the leader of the Liberal Unionist party ln the house of com mons, tils greatest reputation was ac aulred as secretary of state for the colonies, which position he filled from 1895 to 1908. in lass Mr. uaamDenain was married to the daughter of W. C. Endlcott. who was secretary of war ln President Cleveland's first cabinet From an Addreea by Cardinal Gibbons The question may be asked. What is the greatest need of our tlmea for the betterment of society? Is lt churches7 Temples of worship are Indeed very necessary at tlmea They bear evidence of the faith and devotion of the people. But they are not the moat essential thing for our day. The primitive Chris tlana worshipped Ood in the catacombs of Rome, and some of our forefathers adored their Lord ln seoluded mountains and ln recesses and caves of the earth. And they, we know, were most exem plary Christians. Is it hospitals and sanitariums that the times specially call fori hospitals, indeed, are the land marks of Christian civilization, and contribute Immensely to the elevation of human misery. But hey do not con stitute the greatest need of the day, for they relieve onlv a small froMinn me meraoers or tn commonwealth.

And external pomp does not augment the dlarnltv nnr tha Influ ence of our hierarchy. Tou ought to see what a splendid episcopal bouse we have for our bishop," remarked a clergy man to a brother priest some years ago w 'v"u mo clergyman, ought to see what a snlendid hi.kr, we have for our episcopal house." It Is not the dwelllnr that annnM.. ik. bishop, but lt Is the bishop that en nobles the house. Is lt schools and col leges that are moat needed? Christian schools, like Worcester college, are in deed Indispensable for the moral and mental development of the rising gen erations.

This edince la tne casket; you are the gems that are set in It You are the Jewels that are destined to adorn and delight fair Columbia, the mother of us all. I will now tell you what is the great est need. What the times call for is men sturdy men. endowed with the oourage of .their convictions. We need men who are controlled by conscience rather -uan by expediency, who are guid ed by principle rather than by popular ity, who are influenced by a spirit of pure patriotism rather than a desire for political preferment. Above all, we need men of strong Christian faith, whn re prepared to uphold their religious uuuTiuuuua in mo zace or popular prej udice. In a word, we need men of up right character. If you reveal to me your character as above reproach, I will reveal to you your destiny. It Is prob able you will not be presidents, or gov ernors, or senators, or bishops. But the attainment of these offices Is not the test of genuine success. The true test of success lies ln the fulfillment of duty, if you are faithful at the post to which Providence will assign you, no matter what that post may be, you will be successful ln life; you will merit the esteem of your fellow-citizens; you will enjoy the testimony of a good con science, and above all, you will have the approval or neaven.

But this fidelity to moral and rell glous principles in the face of obloquy and insult demands of you no small measure of moral heroism. Many a sol dler who fearlessly rushed to the can non's mouth, has quailed before the shafts of ridicule and the shouts of popular prejudice. The man who calmly fulfills a duty against dudIIc clamor. displays greater courage than the cap tain who captures cities. Daniel O'Connell, the great Irish tri bune, accepted ln his younger days a challenge from a gentleman named D'Esterre, whom he killed ln a duel. In his more mature yeara when sobered by religion and reflection, he refused to accept .another challenge. Now, O'Con nell displayed greater manhood in de clining a second duel than ln engaging ln the first one. For, ln consenting to fight, he yielded to a depraved Dublin opinion against the voice of conscience, while ln refusing the second .challenge he obeyed the dictates of conscience in defiance of popular clamor which brand ed him as a coward. If Plato gloried ln claiming Greece as the place of his birth, how much more should you rejoice ln being born and nurtured ln a country so free and enlightened as the United States of America!
