HE RAILROADS have shown
their horns and claws again by
refusing to grant reduced rates
to the deep waterway conven
tion to be held at Memphis next
month, perhaps on the plea of pov'
erty though any one can see that
they would make money by granting
reduced rates. The real reason Is
supposed to be that the railroad of
flclals are not in sympathy with the
objects of the convention open and
improved waterways. Some railroad
men, however, Mr. J. J. Hill, for ex
ample, take a broader view of the
suMMi-aed pereelv that such wa
terways would heir and not dam
age railroads. Such picayunlsh ac
tions as this only serve to force the
people of the country to believe that
the railroads are their enemies, and
that public ownership is the people's
only recourse. The Chicago Tribune
truthfully remarks:
Rallrnad men are tn favor of the Im
provement of harbors, but they would
have the activity of the national gov-
rnment stOD at the coast. They do not
approve of the betterment of thp rlvera,
their old time rivale, which thv have
pretty effectually put out of business.
But a point has been reached in the de

REPUBLICANISM IN FRANCE
Small Ckangei
By John Dennis Jr. , '
' Paris, Aug. 1.The seventy-fourth
semi-annual "revolution" has corns and
gone in France, the "rebellion" . in tbs
Midi baa subsided, the impending "civil
war" has been averted, the terrible
spectro of riot and bloodshed no longer
terrifies even the English' newspaper
correspondents, the desperate wine
growers that were to shake down the
republic and establish a monarchy seem
to have determined to do nothing of the
kind, peace reigns once more in the
Rue Royale, and it is generally con

haa not been a time when some per

state was certain to fire rebellion; the
May day movement ot lfos made an vtp
rising inevitable; the winegrowers'
grievances were the signal for the entry
of a king.
And so on, with tiresome repetition.
Yet all the time there haa been no
more chance of a revolution in France
than there is this moment of a revolu

more channa that the French people
would ever tolerate another king than
there is that Mount Washington will

If there la one thing that can be as
serted with confidence about any people
in the world, this can be asserted with
confidence of the French that the only
changes they will tolerate in their gov

and more perfect democracy, and away

this means of shipment save the

more broadly important, it will dem

much greater advantage of an en

Advice.
From the flomervllle Journal.
If doesn't pay at all, my friend, to be
a pessimist.
If you've acquired the habit, I advise
you to desist.
The wise man always takes, you'll find
a cheerful view of things.
And ho is happiest, they say, who
wtiisties and who sings.
The doleful man Is beaten by the opti
mist a block.
It doesn't make you happier to knock,
arid knock, and knock.
It pays to be contented, even when
things don't go rlrht.
And when the sky is clouded make
yourself believe it's bright.
So cheer up, everybody, and pretend
that you are gay.
Hake your mind up that tomorrow will
be brighter than today.
Conslatent optimism may not help you
gain your ends,
But really it won't matter, and you will
not bore your friends.
Pointers for the Saloon.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
All the liquor traffic has to do to save
itself from extinction is to submit to
such reasonable regulations as exist in
Germany, a land to which we are so
often cited as one of personal liberty.
In Germany saloons are not loafing
places, provided with chairs and tables
for idlers. Chairs and tables are to be
found in gardens, but; nowhere, either
in gardens or saloons, is card playing,
pool playing or any form of gambling
permitted. Saloon licenses are not is
sued to other than reputable and dii
creet men, and such a license Is in
variably forfeited by any sTich violation
of the law as the sale of drink to
minors or to drunken men, or any other

this is perhaps the most lmnortant ilia.

Portland in the Early Days.
Albany, Sept. 11. To the Editor of
The Journal The effort being made to
clean up Portland's waterfront recalls
some pioneer Incidents that took place
in the early sixties.
At that time I was living in Scoggins
valley west of Forest Grove, Washing
ton county, and had a dairy herd, mak
ing butter and cheese which I sold in
the Portland market. During the spring
months butter was often down to 15
and 20 cents per pound, so I often ped
dled from Mouse to house, getting 25
cents per pound. I made a trip by
wagon to Portland every other week,
hence my knowledge of the following:
My recollection la that the people of
Portland wanted to keep the waterfront
for a DUblic levee but G. -W. Vaughn.

Care for Legislative Evil.
Croy, Or., Sept 18. To the Editor of
The Journal In your editorial, "Fulton
and the Legislative Conscience," you re
fer to "that illustrious legislature that
assembled at Salem, that howled and
boodled through the corridors of the
state house for 40 (45) long days and
nights, and never organized, leaving
the state's bills unDaid. disgracing the
name of the state and humiliating every
man, woman ana cniia in it
Though a memoer or tnat -inusiri
ous" body or men ana proud or tne
record I made among 'that howling
and boodllng" legislature, 1 think it
possible you may De wining to grant
space in your widely circulated paper
ror one or tnat crowd: to express nis
opinion of the main cause of why such
scene occurred.
I agree, with you that such a scene
was a disgrace to the state, and not
only to the state but to the United
States and to Christian civilization.
If we do not want such a scene to
occur again we must change, our con
stitution whereby it is made possible
for such scenes to occur by giving a
minority the power to hold up the leg
islature. That Was not the first scene,
and for a few days the same scene has
been enacted Blnce, and it may occur
train and again, nd that when there
is no senator to be elected.
xi is un-American in my opinion lor
constitution to provide that one more
than one third of either house shall
have the power to break the "quorum,"
thus preventing an organization, es
pecially where there are no plain pro
visions to compel absent members
elect" to attend.
The history of this state plainly
shows that "senatorial contests" are
not the only cause of disorganization.
The best preventive of all such
scenes would be a proviso in the con'
stitutlon making it impossible foi any
organization,, or after organization by
number so small by absence to prevent

A woman victim of that modern tor
ture rack, the surgeon's table, found
herself so utterly broken In body and
mind that she sought help from one
of the many healers to be found in New

Many oMhese "healers" perform re

But this healer began by assuring the
invalid that she must make herseir pos
itive against the evil thoughts of any
one toward her. She must deny their
power to harm her.
Now. the Door little sufferer had nev
er In all her life Imagined that any one
entertained an evil or unkind thought
toward her; but, being so weak and
broken and so lacking In vitality, the
Idea that the "healer" put into her mind
took root and for months she suffered
miserably with the fear thai some one
was sending her "evil thoughts."
She was not healed, of course, by
such a "metaphysician." That meta
physician or scientist, ought to be put
out of practice as a charlatan.
