A 8 TI d. nj 8 THE JOURNAL has suggest- It will do only barm, not an good, to indulge In frantic or feverish verbal or printed attacks upon tbe officers and direc tors of the suspended bank. What lias been don cannot now be un done, and "there is no nse in crying ' orer spilled milk." Besides, the In dications are that the failure will not torn out to be a disastrous one, ' and there 1 ground for hope that alt depositor will be paid in full. But there Is nothing that they can do to benefit themselves except to . . wait with what patience they can for the outcome. ' Yet a word as to methods of bank- - tng Is timely. Every such failure " . ought to be a loud, clear warning to all bankers to conduct a surely safe and conservative business, and never to forget to realize that they are custodians and trustees of other people's money. Thousands of peo- - pi implicitly trust the officers and directors of a bank, especially a sav ' Ings bank like this, and many of ' these are poor people, the loss of whose savings falls upon them as a terrible calamity, a dire tragedy, causing great and prolonged suffer ing and injury, and in some cases 1 rain and even suicide. For this reason, the trust accepted by bank 3 ers Is an onerous and most sacred ' one, and they have no right to take any risks whatever with other peo- ; pie's, especially poor people's, money. - ;AJ1 this, at greater length and more forcibly, has been said many ' times, but its repetition after such an incident as the failure of this bank onght not to be entirely In vain. In making their Investments though intending no wrong, these Officers were not careful enough, not considerate enough of the thousands of poor people who must suffer if the bank's plans failed, as they did The first principle of sound banking J Is to take no risk with others' money E arity. from Portland to Eugene, Water' la th tru means of transportation, because by far to, cheapest, always and everywhere..

If Willamette valley people want an lneihaustlM and' an oamonopo- llzabl transportation, as well as the cheapest of all transportation they can get It. bat they will have to knock, and knock hard at the door of congress. Forty year of waiting- must have shown us that It wont come otherwise. PARTY AND THE PRIMARY LAW. FOR OPEN RIVER. I T IS of consequence that the pro Ject for an open Willamette river be not forgotten. Many a noble enterprise has failed through neglect at the moment when success seemed achieved. It Is not enough ' that the legislature of Oregon has made $300,000 available as half the um requisite for ridding the river y of the toll-taking at Oregon City The congress of the United States . has yet to be dealt with, and some times congress mores in a myst . rlous way, its wonders to perform It might take vast effort to Induce that body to aid the Willamette project, and even vast effort might fail. Tncre win be reasons wny con gress might hesitate. An open river will mean an Instant reduction of 50 ', cents per ton, not only by river but by rail, on freight In and out of the region, and that Is a loss the rail roads will seek to prevent. An open and Improved river to Corvallls and Eugene will mean a revival of steamboatlng, a better river service, and a far greater loss than the 50 cents a ton to railroads. For;these very important reasons, the railroads will be mortal foes of the Willam ette project, and they have always ' been powerful In Influencing con gress. They have assassinated many f a noble measure by a blow In the dark or a stab in the back. It may take every bit of power the state can muster to counteract the influ ences these foes of open rivers will ,v; Invoke. : The Importance of the project is .enormous. Oregon is almost bound hand and foot by the Inadequacy of her railroad facilities. She is at the . foot of the list In railroad mileage, i In that; respect, only three states in the nation are so pauperized. It is holding-her back enormously In de velopment and population. Nor la there apparent bop for the future. A quick : and ure remedy for the .'. Willamette reglen Is the splendid rivef. It should be studded . with targes and steamboat a.11 the way A-SFEAilKH DAVET makes a plea in his paper, the Harney County News, for prty or ganization, for party solld and for a Republican conven tion that shall be a means of bring lng about such a reap It. He pro fesses not 'to be antagonistic to the primary law, but intimates that it that law is responsible for the defeat of Republican nominee in any case, then it Is a bad law and must be an nulled. The tone of his plea shows that he considers party success the main thing, the most Important thing. Whether the people are well served, or worse served because of party solidarity, seems to be with him a matter not worth discussing. He wants means taken which will re sult In "a re-cementing of scattered forces, and a gathering back of men who have been led astray," so that there will be an entire "disappear ance of Democratic hopes," for he says that the anxiety of Democrats for the puBllc welfare rests solely on their "greed for office." As to this last proposition. If It be true of Democrats, why may it not be assured that It Is also true of Re publicans? On the whole, are they not very much alike? Mr. Davey as sumes in this remark, It It means anything, that Democrats are goats while Republicans are sheep; that Republicans are of entirely different clay and caliber from Democrats, that the motives and purposes of these are altogether selfish while hose of the others are wholly pa triotic. It is this narrow-vlsloned and pharlsalcal partisan spirit which Mr. Davey invokes and would rein carnate. But It is too late. The old fetters can never be re-formed and re-fastened. But what right has he to assume that the voters who have chosen to vote for a Democrat as against a Re publican occasionally "have been led astray"? Who constituted him or any one else their political mentor aad critic? They don't admit that they were "led astray," or "led" at all. They did what seemed, and still seems to them, right and best, and they see no damage that It has done, except to the schemes of some self seeking machine politicians. Mr. Davey wants a "re-gatherlng" an(t a "re-cementlng of scattered forces" that Is, a great majority of voters blindly and supinely following the dictation of a few leaders and bosses, who will parcel out the of fices and emoluments, reorganize the forces of graft, and grow fat on pick ings and plunder at the expense of the people who are foolish enough to surrender all political Independence and "fall In line" and "stand shoulder to shoulder," for whatever the bosses decide on and decree. This Is the program and the pur pose, and If the primary law inter feres, It Is a "bad thing" that must he gotten rid of. The argument for government by party, a single party, Is being sub jected to scrutiny and criticism which it does npt stand well. Mr. Henry Watterson recently declared that we are not living under a gov ernment by publio opinion, as was Imagined, but under a government by party organization. This has been partly changed by Roosevelt, but he Is an exceptional party leader. Com menting on Mr. Watterson's remark, the Minneapolis Journal, an inde pendent Republican paper, says If Mr. Wattersom intended to become a voles crying In the wilderness he is belated. The wilderness has long- been vibrant with voices of those protesting against party corruption and behind ev ery tree trunk lurks a potential Moses ready to lead the people into the prom ised land of political, freedom and hon esty. If there is any one tendency in Amer ican political life today that is strongly marked it is the tendency away from blind partisan action. Never was tbe power of public opinion over party ac tion stronger than at this moment. Never was the American people less ready to follow a leader or adopt a course of . action simply because man or movement bore the party label. The independent voter Is abroad In the land. Time was when, we were cursed with party government deaf to the voice Of public opinion. There are vestiges of mai insensate system ot parts in tAie union still. But laey are rare indeed. We are not herein combating the make that th Republican party nearer right on national Issues than the Democratic party. Even If this be true. It has nothing jto do with state politics. To coalesce national tat, county and city politics and put them all In the hands if one party and one organized set of lead era or bosses all along the line would be manifestly dangerous; the people will not Indorse such a pro gram. Mr. Davey would not have a single Democrat elected In the state of Oregon not a single member of the legislature, state officer, county officer, or city officer, down to dog' catcher; every officer should be a servant and beneficiary not of the neon la at large, who are lost sight of, but of a party, an or ganlzatlon, a machine, that has al ways Its own selfish and sinister pur poses. The people won i agree wun htm. TRAGEDY BEHIND STRIKE. S THERE a tragedy behind the curtain in the telegraph strike? What Is the standard of living of the operators? That Is the test of whether they are adequately or underpaid. Have they home com forts and wholesome social sur roundings? Do their salaries af ford a balance for self-Improvement, for educational privileges and for a cheery view of their own world and lot? Are its environments such that they have a pride In their call ing and cherish a hope In Its future, such as men ought to, and must, In order for society and the world to be what It ought to be? Do salaries of say $60. $70 or $80 per month that we hear of, provide these things In Portland? If not, are the opera tors automatons, parts In a huge telegraph machine, working as cat tle, devoid of man-making and man elevating aspirations, moved here and there at the will of the tele graph overlords? It Is now, It always has been, and It always will be, human nature for the strong to oppress the weak. In animal creation, the stronger brutes eat the weaker ones. In human life, It Is habit for might to take every penny It can wring from the puny. Life Is a contest for survival and It Is Inevitable that If men have the power they will use It. The tele graph Is a monopoly, powerful and unopposed. Only the unsophisti cated suspect that It does not take every cent It can from the opera tors. We are told that after prom lsing Increase of wages. It used the sliding scale to beat wages down Of course It did. The operators were powerless to prevent it, be cause not a sufficiently disciplined mass, and the monopoly took from them as It fancied. It took, and will continue to take until the operators become powerful enough to resist force with force, fire with fire. It is the misfortune of the operators. It is tragedy be hind the curtain In the telegraph strike.

Change , -' V A Pitiful, Hopeless FirfureTher Ar Human Being's Lit It s Over at Vancouver two boys, aged 12 and 10, ran away from home "to make their fortune," but were soon caught. They were armed with two rifles, which along with a lot of ammunition, a dealer had sold to the elder boy, he having some money of his own. We do not know whether such a business transaction Is legal or not In Vancouver, but even If bo, there Is a big moral transgression Involved in It. How, often must It be said that boys of that age have no business with a gun of any kind? 4 New View of Taft. Editor Journal The papers are full of William II. Taft as a possible candi date for president. He Is shown up as wonderful man, just, generous, pro gressive, able; nothing unjust or dis honest can prevail In his department. The truth is that "Bill" Taft la fat. ovlal, easy-going politician, bent on nis iwn personal piuaaures ana too iaiy 10 merest himself In anything Jn par- Icular. The writer worked for two ears right across the hall from secre tary Taffa offices and worked quite a while In Taft's department and had an xeellent chance to Know wnat nyinner f man he Is. He would never investi gate anything In his department. l- ays refer the matter back to tne ou- reau from whence it came ror aeitie- ment. He was seldom on duty, usually off on some trip at government expense, but the department was Detter oir wnen he was away or Just as well off, for e was and is nothing but a rigureneaa. He has no more interest In the weal or woe of a common man or a subaltern mploye of his department than you ave, Mr. Kdltor, In the signs of a Chl ese restaurant He of all other men that I ever met during the many years that I lived In Washington, is least de serving of the high office of president. He may be nominated and elected but he would not be if ha was understood. It Is safe to say that he would not get a half doaen votes out of the 1,(00 men working In the war. state and navy buildings.

Copyright, 107, by American-Journal examiner.; Tou are standing In a narrow and dirty city street. One of the poorest streets, one of the narrowest and dirti est It Is noon, and ths very hot sun shines cruelly on the dusty pavement and sidewalks. In the doorway of a cheap restaurant there stands a big metal can holding many gallons of milk. And against this can. wistful, deject ed, dusty, forlorn, leans a poor little black cat. It Is sitting down behind, and stand ing up in front, as kittens do, with Its thin tall curled around the outside of us hind legs. One dusty ear Is turned forward, hop ing that good news may develop In that quarter. The other Is turned backward, fearful of harm. The worried little eves onen and shut rapidly. Its stomach is tucked In tlrht nothing in there. There isn't very mum nie or vitality left in that poor nine innaoitam or a great City. The crowd rushes bv unheedlns the little black lump of mlserv. Men hurrv into tne restaurant wltn acuta hunger. They hurry out again with acute Indi gestion, and the little animal at their eet cages away rrom them, respect fully, as they pass. . If you choose, you can see in that kitten of the city a picture of humanity as a whole, and of every unfortunate as an Individual. In the milk cart beside this kitten there is the wealth, the comfort, the beautiful white milk that would realise all of the kitten's dreams, giving It health, strength and life. But the kitten doesn't know that it Is there, or if it does, the knowledge does no good. For the can Is high and the top Is on tight. Is it any different with humanity? This earth Is our milk ran. Its wealth Is unlimited. Its possibilities are unlim ited; humanity nlnetynine one-hun-dredtbs of human beings, suffering, poor and worried about the future lean against this great round earth, this wealth unlimited.

The people of First street are to be congratulated on their movement for paving that thoroughfare. Not withstanding the westward growth of the city, First street continues to grow In importance, and occupies an impregnable position as a business thoroughfare. The paving of First street will be a paying investment. The Journal cordially Indorses the views of that excellent weekly, the Spectator, on the needlessness and worse of the fire alarm bell and its frequent clanging. Every time it rings It announces that Portland is not a large modern city, but a vil lage yet. Senator Foraker boasts ot having helped frame and pass the Elkins law. But Imperfect as that law Is, it is suspected that its makers builded somewhat better than they knew. Saving Portland's Reputation. Portland, Or., Aug. 23. To the Editor of The Journal The editorial In your valuable paper of Thursday under tho heading "Lend a Helping Hand." is a splendid suggestion and a practical one.

No one but an outsider can feel the amount of damage to the reputation and business Interest of a community tnat such a calamity causes. It echoes and reechoes In wider and wider circles, off setting the good work done In advertis ing this splendid city and state. I am not personally Interested, but will gladly subscribe to such a runa.
