Edward H. Harrlman made
this statement in a public address on
the occasion of his last visit to Port
land, two years ago. He was ad
dressing a gathering of the most rep
resentative men of the city and state,
and his statement was received with
unbounded enthusiasm. It was re
garded as the definite, authoritative
assurance that the railroad into cen
tral Oregon, for which the people
had been waiting for weary years
was at last to be built and as quick
ly as the vast resources at Mr.
rlman's command could accomplish
It.
That statement was made Augus
8, 1905. Two years have elapsed
and Mr. Harrlman Is again visiting
Portland. What has been done to

ple of Oregon? Practically nothing

- Today is peculiarly Labor's day. It
. Is a holiday declared by law for La
; bor's celebration;, for rejoicing In
Its triumphs, proclaiming Its import-
; ence, considering Its grievances and
seeds, displaying Its strength and
; tone, emphasizing its proper po3l

advance to a still higher place in
the world's thought where It will re
ceive a clearer recognition of its
rights, as compared with those of Its
' partners. Brains and Capital.
This annual holiday ought to be
beneficial to society in general. It
. ought to afford a proper pause In
1 which all these three partners should
' think," and resolve to strive together
for Industrial peace, for the better
ment of society, for the literal es-
n tablisbment of the "square deal" all
j around.
l It will be well for everybody who
can to join In and help along this
. holiday. Make It as far as possible
' a real one.- Hats off to the brawny
arm of Labor, that harvests the
crops, that mans the ships, that oper
ates the trains, that delves In the
nines, that converts the forests Into
1 bouses, that builds cities, that makes
the wheels of all Industry turn. And
jdon't forget that there are plenty of
brains In the laboring ranks, too.
UNCLE JOE.
U'
NCLE JOE CANNON is an In
teresting public figure. In
many respects he is a like-
able old fellow. He Is
brunt, brusque, yet Jolly; "off
hand"; outside of politics, Demo
cratic; and withal Is a man of
touch shrewdness, legislative ability,
and, according to his lights, of pat
riotism. But his "lights" are wrong, dim, j
out-of-date. He Is of the old
achool of Republican politlclajfe, that
came Into power soon after the war,
and has been thoroughly tainted
,wlth the political vices of the re
gime that Roosevelt is seeking stren
uously and yet with some grievous
jnislicks, to end. The protective
tariff has been the breeding nest of
this brood of civic vices, and when
a tariff for revenue only Is substi
tuted for It they wfll disappear or
become greatly diminished.
But "Uncle Joe" has lived, moved
and had his being so long in this
; tainted atmosphere of legislative
L crookedness and corruption, robbing
i , ; ,the many for the benefit of the few,
fjT n one wav or another, that it is
i" now the very breath of political life
to him; and what are really great
national wrongs he has come to re
gard as all right. He thinks that
i - the tariff and the trusts and the
' criminal corporations, and enormous
y . fortunes acquired through the opera
Is tlon of unjust laws, are proper or
necessary, and has no svmnathv with
V. any efforts or demands for any
... changes. Jge scorns all attempts and
; arguments for reforms of any kind,
announce any plans for building a
railroad into that part of the coun
try," and he adds that until the
various routes have been surveyed
and the results compared, nothing
can be determined as to the con
struction of the line.
The people of Oregon will find
but cold comfort in these vague and
unsatisfactory statements. There Is
a widespread conviction that Har
rlman will do no railroad building
in this, state except where forced
to It by the imminent danger of I
competition. When the people see
his construction crews actually in
the field, then they may begin to be
lieve that a road is to be built, but
In the meantime they will build no
hopes upon his Indefinite assur
ances.

greatly reduced, and the capacity of

HE ASTRONOMERS can tell us,
they say, Just how fast that
comet Is traveling some
thousands of miles a minute,
Is It? And It may have been travel
Ing there for thousands or millions
of years, and yet so vast is its orbit,
if It has an orbit, that since the earli
est earthly records It has never ap
peared In our solar system before,
and Is not expected ever to appear
to us again. These statements sug
gest to our limited minds space In
such terms as to be utterly Incom
prehensible, distances of which we
can form no conception.
We think it useful, however, for
adult people occasionally to look into
and refresh their memory by read
ing, if they have forgotten, a few of
the simple yet tremendous facts that
the science of astronomy has gleaned
that our own sun is but a star,
and one of only moderate magni
tude; that there are thousands of
such suns visible even to the naked
eye, millions discernible by the tele
scope, and for aught we know bil
lions and millions of billions of such
suns, each perhaps with Its planet
ary system, beyond our ken, and
each of these suns tens of millions
or billions of miles apart and when
we have time to grasp a little, dim,
vague realization of all this, think
that it, the utmost that we can imag
ine, may be only a little patch of the
Universe of God.
Yet we are prone to think that
the earth is the main thing in the
Universe, and that mankind on this
infinitesimal speck Is the master
piece of the Almighty'B handiwork.
Such contemplations should tend
to keep men duly humble and pre
vent them from becoming absurdly
egotistical; yet we must necessarily
be chiefly concerned with and ab
sorbed In our immediate environ
ment, and so have a right to re
spect and admire out species, on ac
count of the relative height to which
It has climbed and the remarkable
things It has wrought out.
The -article of President Buchner
of the Oregon and Washington Man-
facturers' association, published re
cently In The Journal, fairly and con
vincingly set out the vast importance
f the lumber Industry in this re
gion. It needs no very prolonged
or deep investigation to see that the
prosperity of this Industry is bound
up with that of great numbers of
people of different occupation, not
only many thousands of employes of
the lumber manufacturers, but farm
ers, merchants and others. Nobody
wants the lumber manufacturers to
be otherwise than prosperous, and
they have ground to protest against
the raise of rates ordered by the
railroads Yet lumber consumers as
such are to be considered and they
too have a right to protest If they
have cause to believe that a lumber
manufacturers' combine is making
exorbitant profits by charging un
reasonable prices. What is wanted
Is a "square deal" all around.
