E VERY rltfht-rmlnded citizen must agrep that tho closing of the notorious gambling place. known as the Mllwaukie club is an excellent thing. The manner of its closing was somewhat farcical, for Sheriff Beatle seems to hare 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 sat about twiddling their thumbs and wearing the best imitation of injured Innocence that tbey could muster, i But it matters little how the place was closed, provided it is kept closed in the future. To accomplish this, The Journal will do all in its power. Whether with or without the assistance of the Clackamas . county officials, thin paper will . pledge its active aid to enforce the law. In this campaign against the Mllwaukie club, The Journal Has t ; been working shoulder to shoulder wlth the best elements of Clackamas county and of Mllwaukie. For that there is a large and respectable ele ment in Mllwaukie which has been atrongly 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 Mllwaukie and that its suppres eion has worked great hardship. As was to be expected, the Oregonlan 1b made the medium for this plea and several columns or its space were devoted this morning to a 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 Mllwaukie club is a blow to the prosperity of the town is trans parentjy false. No community is really benefited by the money drawn ; from a compromise with crime. 'Portland's progress since the sup ipression of gambling .three years ago has been infinitely greater than be- ifore, and Milwaukie's experience will be the same. No town, no city can suffer from the enforcement of righteous law. powers In the forest reserves, recent ly granted to a powerful corporation with eastern stockholders, a splendid water fall within two miles of the source of the McKenzie 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? How many others are going the same way? A' DISAPPEARING WATER POWERS. ARE OREGON water powers to become the prey of corpora- X tions? As costlier fuel and Improvements in electrical transmission increase the demand for these water powers, will Oregon people awaken to find them all mo nopolized and in the hands of small groups of capitalists who will exact their own prices and control the in dustrial situation? Through list lessness 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 water power Is in cidental or essential? These water powers are an im mense asset for future Oregon. De veloped, they will create a revenue of millions of dollnrs annually. As science advances and fuel grows scarce and costlier, they will become a necessity. Conserved and kept within the rea;h of all comers and all industries, they would be a mighty factor in state building. ! Monopolized, aa is threatened, they will be operated for the selfish inter ests of a few individuals, who will retard state progress. Their im , portance is such, and their conserva- ' : tlon of such general benefit, that it ' Ja possible the state ought to have possession of them and so dispose of end control them that their usufruct , ..might be saved, not for a tew, but . for all the people. a The fact tnat the forest service, hicb, it present, control! the water JUDGE PRITCHARD. S A GENERATOR of 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 Joe Cannon, all the Journeylngs of the Icy Mr. Fairbanks, and all the deep-laid plans 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 seen no court pyrotechnics so overwhelmingly pyrotechnic and so remarkably unjudicial as those of the North Carolina Jurist. When by 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 he invoked the habeas corpus to further his purpose, he was so lawless as practlcaHy to be a Judicial bull in a china shop. To go to such lengths to serve a rail road company at this particular time, when the country is out of patience with railroads was unfortunate. It lends strong color to the charge so frequently made that federal courts are subservient to the corporations. Judge Prltchard was formerly at torney for the railroad that he has gone so far to serve, and his sub serviency to it as a Judge of a fed eral court, only adds to the agita tion. It happens 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. It is also of record that Mr. Roosevelt's secretary of state, Mr. Root, seml-offlc lally de clared in a public address that cen tralization of the federal power could be accomplished, and should be ac complished by federal court decis 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 of the states? Decisions by federal Judges are sometimes as dynamite. It was the folly 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. 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, New 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 Hal- and Taft and Root for toe Asiatic Jopen 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. Ills fbrmula works with ever-Increas ing effectiveness." Out of Alton water he cleared 162,000,000, with which to buy more material to i water. The law will henceforth have much to say to Edward Har rlman. Such men and methods will no longer be permitted to go un checked and unpunished by the American people." Harrlman's answer to the report is that "it Is a political document." The North American defines "poli tics," and says: "The voice of the whole country proclaims it good politics to attack the methods of Harrlman." KICKING AGAINST THE PRICKS. S TRIPPED of all disguises, the opposition of the Oregonlan to Statement No. 1 of the direct primary law means simply that the people shall not be allowed to name the United States senator. In a word, the Oregonlan is opposed to allowing the choice of senator to be determined by the vote of the people. No amount of shallow eoph lstrles, of pettifogging argument, can make this position seem logical or reasonable. If the people can be trusted to elect congressmen, governors, legis lators, why Ehall they not elect the United States senators? And why, If the will of tho people is to rule In the choice of governor, shall It not also rule In the choice of senator? By what right does this presump tuous dictator assume to curtail the people's powers, to fix a line beyond and no individual ! 'guilty will not avail. y It will be said Indeed hat been said by some that Judge Landls In his rulings in this cane, in the im position of the extreme penalty, and in the remarks alluded to, ia "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 bers of people, to the people aa a whole, by these practices, have often been shown up, by nobody better. perhaps, than by Judge Gaynor of New York, and the punishment for this sort of lawlessness, affecting in- urlously as it does, millions of peo ple, directly or indirectly, should be severe, especially as these violations of the law have been notoriously and impudently carried on for 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 of 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 the 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 of the chief of 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. Government Ownership Not an Iasflc I By W. J. Bryan in The Commoner THE BACK YARD. A' which they must not go? ine direct primary law, including t HARRIMAN. W E DISLIKE to talk Harrlman so much, but It seems nec essary. Some think it bad policy, lest he do worse things to us. He cant; were sure of that. Besides, shall tnree-quar- ters 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 or wnai mis 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 anout Mr. Harrlman made by the Phila delphia North American, called out by the recent report and recommen dation of the interstate commerce commission. One man has undermined a fixed ational policy of this government. He shall not be permitted to destroy The transcontinental railroads were created by no capitalist or set of capitalists. The lands of the na tion were given and the faith of the nation was pledged. Purpose and consideration were clearly stated in every law providing for a trans-Mls-sissippi 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 seven years it has been nullified by one man's discovery that the endless chain can be applied to the vocation of the gambler. " 'Water, borrow and buy,' has been the unvarying Harrlman form ula. A convertible bond issue of $100,000,000 by the Union Pacific in 1901 was his bank roll. It .was neither used nor intended for main tenance, trackage, terminals, exten sion Wterments, nor any other le gitimate purpose. It was meant and used to annul the principle, essential to progress and prosperity, that rail-, the provisions relating to Statemen No. 1, 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. The Oregonlan 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 morning: "If the Republican party In Oregon do not. under present conditions, throw to the candidate for Senator a majority vote In a general election, It will not be because the voters of the 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 Home other 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 of the voters did not. 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 or its trance and will awaken to the fact that the will of the people must be obeyed. HOUSEHOLDER'S civic char acter can be determined to 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 dally care of all the home premises, but the average citizen of limited means who has to look after his lot or two with but little and oc casional assistance. The front yard of 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 his 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 taink 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 dition 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 his family, aside from what 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 life." Take care of the back yard. As the campaign approaches It be comes more; and more evident that of the eoonomlo questions, three the trust question, the tariff queatlon and the railroad question will ahnre public attention and theal three really present the same laaue Aetween me general public and the privileged claaaea. Shall the government be administered In the Interest of a rewi mis is me iu presented by the trust question, tne tariff question and the railroad ques tion. flnvernment nwneralilD la not an Immediate Issue. A large majority of the people still hope for effective reg ulation, and while they so hope, they will not consider ownership. While many Democrats believe and Mr. Bryan Is one of the number that public owner ship offers the ultimate solution of the iroblem. till, those who believe that he nubile will finally In self defense be driven to ownership, recognize that regulation muet be tried under the most favorable circumstances b fore the masses will be ready to try a more radical remedy. Regulation cannot be sufficiently rled within the next year, and there la no desire anywhere to make govern ment ownership an Issue In 1 808. Mr. Bryan fully agrees with thoae who believe that it would be unwise to turn attention from regulation, on which the people are ready to act, to government ownership upon which the people are not ready to act To Inject the government ownership question Into the next campaign would simply give rep resentatives of the railroads a chance to dodge the Issue of regulation and deceive the public. Bo far, the railroads have been unsuc cessful In preventing effective federal regulation, and atate regulation has, as a rule, been restrained by the United States courts.

It required about ten years for the courts to find out that the fowera conferred were Insufficient, and hen It took about ten years to secure their support.

A Denver man had a friend from a Kansas ranch in the city Saturday on a business deal and at noon they went to a downtown restaurant and had lunch together. The Kansas ranchman ate his entire meal with his knife. When he was nearlng the end he discovered something. Ho discovered that he had no fork. "Say." he said to the Denver man, "that waiter didn't give me a fork." "Well, you don't need one," replied tne i Denver man seriously "The deuce I don't" came from the the plea that only the corporation S"lwit2rhat am 1 ln t0 Btlr ray All cooperative societies succeed fi nancially when they last long enough to make a fair trial of their efforts. But no society or organization which meddles with the sex relations ever makes a continued success of its exper iment. The moment that idea becomes the dominating one It breeds trouble with an individual or a community. It becomes a fungus growth, instead of a natural plant. Upon whatever theme we concentrate the mind, we develop the brain ceils exercised by those thoughts. Certain organs on the head of a new born Infant indicato whether he Is nat urally endowed with musical abilities. If he is not. ana his parents begin early and work persistently to cultivate his musical taste, by having him hear and study good music, the musical cells will aevelop on his cranium. It is so with every other talent, pro pensity or inclination. Since the foun dation of the universe rests on the sex impulse, all human beings are born v.th tendencies of that nature. To start a colony which has this Idea as Its central one Is certain to Increase the wo: d's sex cranks and monoman iacs. There are two qualities in human na ture that need to be cultivated, and then all the industrial and domestic conditions will right themselves. These qualities are unselfishness and self control. This is an old, old statement. So ia the dawn an old fact, yet every day must begin with it. Unselfishness would end all monopoly, self-control would enable every Individual to direct his mental and physical energies toward the best uses of life for himself and humanity. Men have never been taught self- control. Since they descended from the tree they have supposed that self-indulgence was their privilege and that woman's duty was to keep silent, patient and long-suffering. Physicians, bein men, have helped them along In this faea, and taught them that self-indulgence was their neces sity. But now that woman has entered tho arena of medicine and has learned all that men know by study, and much that men can never know by her psychic and perceptive qualities, a new science Is taking the place of the old.
