The manner of lta closing was somewhat farcical; for Sheriff -Beatle aeema to have taken every possible precaution to avoid-the necessity of making any arrests or confiscating any gambling Implements. Ample notice of the so-called "raid"' had been given be "fore hand and when the sheriff at last arrived on the appointed hour , the place was as decorous as a Sun day school, and the gamblers, touts, markers, dealers and operators aat about twiddling their thumbs and wearing the best Imitation of injured Innocence that they could muster. ; But it matters little how the place ' was closed, provided it is kept closed in the future. To accomplish this. The Journal will do an In its power. . Whether with or without; ; the ; assistance , of the Clackamas county- officials, this - paper will pledge its active aid to enforce the 'law. In this campaign against the Milwaukie club, The Journal Das ; been working shoulder to shoulder "with the best "elements of. Clackamas " county and of Milwaukie. . For that there In a large and respectably ele ment In Milwaukie which has been strongly opposed' to the continued - existence of the club cannot be truth fully denied. ''An" effort' is being ..made to make it appear that the club was an unmixed blessing to the town . of' Milwaukie and that Its suppres sion has worked great hardship. As was to be expected, the Oregonian 'la made the medium for this plea, and several columns of its space were devoted this morning to t de fense of the gamblers. ' It is not sur prising, for the law-breaker who has .money can always find an advocate. .' The pretense that the suppression of the Milwaukie club is a blow, to the prosperity of the town is trans parently false.. No community is really benefited by the money drawn jfrom a compromise with crime. ;P6rtland's 'progress since the'sup- 1 pression of gambling .three years ago has been Infinitely greater than be- tfore. and Milwaukle's experience will ?be the same. , , No. town, no city can suffer, from the' enforcement of righteous law. oowers in the forest reserves, recent ly granted to a powerful corporation with eastern stockholders, a splendid water fall within two miles ot the source of the McKenile river, within a few miles of the very summit of the Cascade mountains, is mighty sug gestive. Why at this time acquire water power so far from civilization T How many others are going the same wayT ; . '..'.; JUDGE PRITCHARD. ASA OENEKATUK Ot live po litical issues, Judge Prltchard of North Carolina Is a mar vel. If he is not soon squelched, all the wanderings of big Mr. Taft. all the longings of Uncle Joel Cannon, all the Journeying of the icy Mr. Fairbanks, and all the deep-laid plana of the man in the White House, will be as mists in the morning. They cannot survive many Judicial ebullitions by the efferves cent Mr. Prltchard. , The country has s,eennoxourt pyrotechnics so overwhelmingly., pyrotechnic ana so remarkably unjudicial - as tnose 01 the North Carolina Jurist. ; When br injunction Judge Prltch ard annulled a state law without a hearing, he was not only on ques tionable ground, but was actually tyrannous,; and even laymen know it. When be Invoked the habeas corpus to further his purpose, he was so lawless as practically to be a Judicial bull In a china shop. To ko to such, lengths to serve a rail road company at this particular time, when the country Is out ot patience with railroads was unfortunate. It lends strong color to the charge so frequently made that federal courts are subservtent to the corporations, Judge Prltchard - was formerly at torney for the railroad that-he has gone so tar to serve, and his 'sub serviency to it as a Judge of a fed eral court, only adds to the aglta tlon. ' . It nappens that Judge Prltchard is an appointee of Mr. Roosevelt. It Is also history that Mr. Roosevelt in public addresses and otherwise has advocated a . more centralized gov ernment with' abridgment "of .the powers of the states. 1 It. Is also of record that Mr. Roosevelt' secretary of state, Mr. Root, semi-of f totally de clared in a. public address that cen tralization of the federal power couw be accomplished, and should be ac- comDllshed by federal court decls ions.- Was Judge .Prltchard'. acting on these hints, and did he in so act ing, overstep the bounds of decency and a proper respect' for the rights nf the) states? ' decisions by federal judges are sometimes as dynamite. It was the folW and - freak decisions of federal Judges that became a powerful Influ ence in the hands of Jefferson in or ganizing the Democratic party. It was the Dred Scott decision by fed eral judges, more than anything else, that made the public sentiment out of . which the Republican party, was born. . " 1 . '' '. ' ' : ,.' '' ' DISAPPEARING WATER POWERS. A' RE OREGON water powers to become the prey of corpora tions? As costlier fuel and .Improvements In electrical k transmission increase the demand for these water powers, will Oregon - people awaken to find them alt mo- r nopolized and. in the hands ot small 'groups of capitalists who will exact their own prices and control the in dustrial situation? , Through llst- 1 ess n ess and Inattention, are Oregon people permitting the foundations to be laid by which a few men will con ' trol the electric lighting, control the , electric power, control the electric 'roads, control every , Industry to which transmitted water1 power is In - tldental or essential?,. These water powers are an Im mense asset for future Oregon. De veloped, they will create a revenue of millions of dollars annually. As science advances and fuel grows scarce and costlier, they will become a necessity. Conserved and kept1 within the reach of all comers and! , all industries, they woujd be a mighty ' factor in state building. I Ifnnnnnllsawl. aa fa lhrMt.nu! '.I. I . . . IUCJ will be operated for the selfish inter ests ot a few individuals, who will retard state progress. Their im portance Is such, and their conserva tion of such general benefit, that it ' Is possible the state ought to have possession of them and so dispose of sod rontrol them that their usufruct .might be saved, not for a few, but for all the people. , J . ' ... . The fa-t tnat the forest servloe. t!(h, at present, controls the water HARRIMAN. roads shall not acquire parallel and competing' lines. With road after road, the plan of 'water, borrow and buy,' was applied, until today all transportation lines between New York and China are at one man's mercy, "Draw a parallelogram with Chi cago,' Portland, New1 Orleans and Los Angeles as Its corners, and with in that territory Harrlman is abso lute master." And his control , ex tends to the ocean lines. "All the work of Hai and Taft and Root for the Asiatic (open door terminates in the control of Harrlman. All trade with' Hawaii and the Philippines pays him what tribute he chooses to com mand. . He has closed his grip on the strongest route of commerce be tween the great lakes and the gulf. His formula works with ever-Increasing effectiveness." Out - of Alton water he cleared $62,000,000, with hlch to ' buy' more material to water. "The law will henceforth have much- to say to Edward Har rlman. 8uch men and methods will no longer be permitted to go unchecked- and unpunished by' the American people." -. '. . Harrlman's answer to the report is that "it is a- polltical document." The North American, defines "poll tics," and says: "The voice of the whole, country proclaims it good politics to attack the . methods ot Harrlman KICKING AGAINST THE PRICKS. ( E DISLIKE to talk Harrlman 1 Af "r much, but it seems neo- f f essary. .Some think It bad policy, lest he do worse things to us. Hv can't; we're sure of that. Besides, shall three-quarters of a million people in a state that would have had twice as many If he had treated It right, be dumb, supine, servile, in fear of what this man may-do or not do? No, we shall talk Harrlman until he gets busy In Oregon in the right way and until more roads take the place of rumors, reported projects, feints at surveys and half-way promises. But for variety of style and utterance let us" quote a few- remarks- about Mr. Harrlman made by the Phila delphia North American, called out by the recent report and recommen dation of the interstate commerce commission. ' , . ; . Ona man has undermined a fixed national policy of this government. He shall not be permitted to aestroy it. The transcontinental railroads were created by no capitalist or set of capitalists. The lands of the na tion were a-lven and the faith of the iatlon was pledged. Purpose and consideration were, clearly stated iu every law providing for a trans-MIs- slsslppi trunk line. Great values were given to secure the development of new territory. The policy of the nation Is expressly approved In the constitutions of nearly 40-states.' In even vears It has been nullified bT. one man's discovery that the endless chain can be applied to me vocation of the gambler. ' ' 1 'Water, borrow and buy. nas been the unvarying Harrlman form ula. , A convertible bond Issue of f 100.000,000 by the Union Pacific In 101 was his bank roll. "It .was neither used nor Intended for main tenance, trackage, terminals, exten sion betterments, nor any other le gitimate purpose. ' It was meant and used to annul the principle, essential to progress and prosperity, that rail- STRIPPED of all disguises.- the . opposition of the Oregonian to Statement No. 1 ot the direct ' primary law means . simply that the people shall not be allowed to name the United States senator. In a word, the Oregonian Is opposed to allowing the choice ot senator to be determined by the vote eft the people. No-mount of shallow soph istries, of . pettifogging i argument, can make this position seem logical or reasonable. i ' It the people can be trusted to elect congressmen, governors; legis lators, why shall they not elect the United States senators? And why, if the will of the people is to rule In the choice of governor,, shall it not also-. rule in the choice ot senator? By what right does this presump tuous dictator assume to curtail the people's powers, to fix' a line beyond which they must not go? ' ; If i.: ' The direct primary l.w. Including the provisions relating to Statement No. , was adopted by vote of the people of the state, and they ratified It by an overwhelming majority. In so doing they declared that hence forth, in Oregon the people shall rule not a boss, nor a machine nor even a party. If the party seeks to rule In opposition to the will of the whole people. Any Individual, any news paper, therefore, that seeks ' to thwart the great purpose of the law Is false to the people and a traitor to their cause. " ' 1 , V : The Oregonian advances the extra ordinary argument that the people do not mean what they say by their ballots, when they vote for United States senator, Read "this drivel, which appeared in the course of an editorial published this mornings- "If the Republican party In Oregon do not, under prnnt condition, throw to tha candidate (or Senator a majority vete In a B-eneral election; It will not be because the voters of tha party do not want a Republican Senator, or do want a Democratic) one, but because they don't want that particular man for Senator, and expect the legislature to elect soma otner republican." . , Of all the varied contributions to this discussion there has been noth ing more Inane,, more childish, more silly, , more untrue. As well say that when George Chamberlain was relected governor the majority ot the voters did riot want him to serve an other term, and merely voted for him as a Joke. The argument is too absurd to deserve serious considera tion. Sooner or later our venerable contemporary will come out ot its trance and will awaken to the fact that the will ot the people must be obeyed. JUDGE LANDIS' DECISION. JUDGE LANDIS not only fined the I Standard Olt 'corporation the I limit of the law, amounting to $29,240,000, but he directed the summoning of a grand Jury to consider the cases against the rebat ing railroads, particularly the Chi cago ft Alton, which must have been equally guilty with Standard Oil In violating the law. More than this, Judge Landls expressed the opinion that the fines imposed were not a sufficient penaltybut that the guilty persons . should be Imprisoned, though this Is not provided for under the Elklns law. But under the new rate law Imprisonment as well as fines may be Imposed, and Judging from Judge Landls remarks he will not hesitate to Impose botli penalties If It can be legally done. And there Is little doubt that the Judge will be able to find the right parties, or that the plea that only the corporation and no Individual la guilty will not avail. It will be said Indeed haa been said by some that Judge Landls In his rulings in this caie. In the lm position ot the extreme penalty, and In the remarks alluded to, Is "play ing to the galleries," Is seeking no toriety. Is catering to popular but unreasoning prejudice. Nobody has a right to assume this. The great Injustice and damage to large num- oers oi peopie, to me people aa a whole, by these practices, have often beon shown up, by nobody better, perhaps, than by Judge Gaynor of New York, and the punishment for this sort, of lawlessness, affecting In Jurlously. as It does, millions ot peo ple, directly or Indirectly, should be severe, especially aa these violations of fhe law have been notoriously and Impudently carried on foe 20 years. It was quite time some judge arose who would regard this persistent and heinous crime as .no light offense. nor be ready to listen to any sort ot excuse for it, .but who, on the con trary, would let not only these habit ual lawbreakers but the ' general public know that only severe punish ment fitted tne case. . , ' Justice, not persecution, must be, the end-kept In view, and the pre sumption Is that the Judge has not allowed any prejudice or bias to ob scure the . ultimate ends of Justice. As one ot the chief ot lawbreakers, defiant" and insolent. Standard Oil needed a severe Jolt. And the coun try Is to be congratulated that It has at least one federal Judge who com prehends the enormity of this cor poration's offenses, and makes the penalty, as nearly as the law will al low,' correspond. .; THE BACK YARD. A HOUSEHOLDER'S civic char acter can be determined to rt, some extent by the condition of his back yard. We do not mean the wealthy man who has a retinue of servants whose duties in clude the daily care ot all the home premises, but the average citizen ot limited means who has to look after his lot or two with but little and oor caslonal assistance. The front yard ot some such citizens kept ' clean, neat and attractive, may be decep tive;' to ascertain whether one is liv ing up to a proper civic Ideal- and doing lils duty as an urban citizen, look into and over his back yard.," The condition of the back yard helps to make a man's reputation. and is Indicative of his .character. Because it is hid from the view of passers-by on the street, he need not tlink Its condition is unknown. . The groceryman, the milkman, the veg etable man, the laundryman, and the near neighbor, see and at least men tally comment on it.-, It Isn't a mat ter of enough Interest to gossip about much, yet somehow the' con dltlon of a man's back yard becomes generally . known throughout the neighborhood, and he Is Judged ac cordingly. If It be slovenly and dirty, while the -front yard Is clean and neat, the. estimate of the owner Is that he is insincere, puts on ap pearances to deceive observers as to his true character. Every citizen owes it to himself and 1ils Tamlly.-aside trorawhat the neighbors may think of him, to keep his back yard clean and tasteful. This makes the premises . more healthful, and the family more con tented and cheerful. Every one of the family can 'take more pride in the home: It is a pleasanter. place for all of them. So to a little extent life is rendered happier; and we all learned when small that "little things, aye, little things, make up the sum of lite."

"I do not an- ?rove of this glorification of tha sex mpulse or of those periodicals and people wno - devote tnemseives to xnat subject. It is a purely personal mat ter between a man and a woman; and when we. develop the beat men and women the subject of sex will . taks care of Itself." . Mrs. Huntley expresses my views per fectly. With the proper training for tha first tl years of life, beginning at the cradlo, any child not born an Idiot can be de veloped in normal, healthful ideas on the great underlying principles of life. Given tha right Industrial conditions and proper occupations and ambitloas after that age, Ihe sex question will re sult In ths way -nature Intended, and for the- best- lntereets--f - society-. In stead of thought, time and money wast-, ed on attempts to start new "Love Or ganisations.' and to "free" women from old ideas or marriage. It would Tietp the progress of the world more effectually to concentrate on freeing tha world fttn monopolies of God's gifts to men earth, sun and air and in organising an educational Institution on the linea laid out by Luther Burbank In his "Child Life and Plant Ll(e," It would do more - for the nation if President Roosevelt would appropriate money to present a copy of that book to every mother in America than all his whole sale advice to increase tha population. see AH cooperative societies succeed fi nancially when they last long enough to make a fair trial ot their efforts. But no society or organization which meddlea with the sex relations ever makes a continued success of its exper iment. , " The moment-that - Idea- becomes - the dominating ona It brseds trouble with an Individual or a community.

The Democratic farty must meet the Issue presented; t must resist tha encroachments upon the authority of the states. It must Insist upon the exercise of federal power for the regulation of interatate commerce, and it must insist upon the exerclae of stste authority for the the exercise of all of the power veated In the stste.

The republican narty la as Impot ent to regulate the railroada as It Is to exterminate tha trusts and to reform the tariff.
