RITINO TO The Journal In
commendation of Its editor
ial urging the Importance
of an early 'completion of
. the Celllo canal a prominent busi
ness man of walla walla says
"Ton hare touched a chord which
Ylbrates In the breast of every man
Who lives and labors -In the great
Hnc-BOrthwest. - At least -The
Journal hopes It has helped to
' arouse a renewed and more lively
Interest In this vastly Important
project. The "chord" of an open
-: Columbia river should surely "vl
brate" harmoniously In the minds
. of all the people of this region, and
more particularly among all those
.living In the great Columbia basin
Of which Walla Walla Is the largest
city, if we except Spokane.
v It may be asked what the people
, can do in the matter. Every com
v munlty, however small, can help to
swell the Impression to be made on
congress next winter. Every news
paper, 'With however small a con-
stltuency, can add to the demand to
be made. Every commercial club and
development league and city council,
and many influential individual cltl-
i ens as well, should be prepared to
make s an irresistible appeal at
" Washington. Every possible effort
may be seeded. Some friends of
this region will not be in the next
congress, , aa they have been here
tofore, and new men will have to
be "shown.'V Congress may be play
ing politics considerably, and this
corner of the country is considered
fsafe" without giving it any appro-;
prlation. Persistent and energetic
work may be necessary, and we
must prepare to do it
The stake is one of great im
portance. The Journal has repeat
edly pointed out how and why.
.What Is wanted is to get such an
appropriation for the Celllo canal
as will begin the work at once and
carry It on continuously and expedl
tiously, and to this end have it put
in the continuing contract class.
With this done, the canal can be
completed in two years. Otherwise
It may take ten. Every year of de
lay costs the people of this region
that this Is the "paramount Issue" or
object of administration, Mr. Jleney's
position is perfectly natural and log
ical. Other men who are nnd will be
hereafter Republicans or Democrats,
according to the trend of events and
the accomplishment of the party in
power, while admiring President
Roosevelt greatly for much that he
has done and attempted, may And
large and mysterious flaws In the
record and rjjay think ' some other
matter, the tariff, for instance, is of
paramount Importance, and so will
not declare themselves so positively.
Still others who would be glad to
support Roosevelt for another term
are not entirely willing to assume
that Taft would fill Roosevelt's place
In Important particulars.
Mr. Ileney is a Republican, but
not a Republican of the old, ronven
tlonal, stand-pat, thlck-and-thln
yellow-dog type. Partisans of this
type are becoming beautifully less
Men want something more now than
party name and platform prom
ises and partisan phrases; they want
performance. And we rather think
that having had a taste of Roose
velt's performance, they will demand
more of the same sort, and along
broader and more extended lines.

this is certainly worth fighting for
' earnestly and enthusiastically. But
beyond this is to be considered the
' advantage and prestige this great
open river would give Oregon all
over the country. As an advertise
ment it would be Worth millions
more.
So The Journal hopes that there
are many influential men In the
upper country who feel as this
prominent Walla Walla man does
who understand and appreciate the
Importance of this project, and In
whose breasts the chord of an open
river vibrates strongly.
HB NEW YORK WORLD is one
of several Atlantic coast news
papers that are loudly scolding
President Roosevelt for sending
the navy to the Pacific coast next
spring. The World says that the
president, "from pure love of display,
In addition to the powerful naval
force already on the Pacific coast,
Intends to assemble there every first
class battleship and every armored
cruller In the navy" the last phrase
in Italics. By next May there vA
be gathered on the Pacific coast 22
first class battleships and six armored
cruisers, whose names the World
gives, and then it says:
For tha purposes of his naval parsd
and political paotacle, within a faw
wefeka, Mr. Rooaevalt proposes to atrip
both tha Atlantlo eoaat and tha Philip
pines of every first-rate warship and
leave them unprotected for at least
year. Could folly carry him farther In
hla reckless enterprise?
But what is the trouble? Is there
any danger of the Atlantic coast be
ing attacked next year? If so, by
whom? And if Japan is the nation
particularly to watch, would It not
be better to have the navy in the Pa
cific than the Atlantic? As for the
president's motive being parade and
loveof display, for political pur
poses, he needs to gain no votes on
this coast, and according to these
criticisms stands to lose some In the
Atlantic region.
Why not some "parade"? Since
there Is no war, and happily no pros
pect of one soon, why should not the
battleships make a long ' cruise
rather than loaf around Atlantic
naval stations continually? Of
course the point of view counts for
a good deal. We of the Pacific
coast would like the battleships to
come here for awhile; some people
of the Atlantic coast dislike to lose
their presence for so long. But
whether or not there is any very
good reason for sending them around
here we have so far read no good
reason for not sending them. Wall
street and Fanulel hall will be quite
safe in their absence.
which a few years ago would have
been rapidly absorbed on a 4 per
cent basis, but now are neglected on
a 6 per cent basis."
It Is no doubt true that money in
large amounts is not so easily or
cheaply to be bad as a few years
ago. A greater amount of money is
needed urgently la a multitude of
new or increasing Industries, and to
obtain it stocks are thrown upon the
market a great quantities and at
depressed prices. Of course this is
only one phase of the stock and
money situation, but it Is a large
and Important one and does not fur
nlsh much of a basis for pessimism
OREGONIANS NEED TO WAKE
UP.
hk. Kb; ia a good aeai o
truth," remarks the Med
ford Tribune, "In the asser
tlon that Uregonlans are
prone to wait for others to do their
development for them," and It con
tlnues:
There Is money enough, business
enough, resources enough In Oregon for
the people of thla state to build telr
own roads. I here la little sympathy
wasted where a commonwealth of
million people alt supinely by and
meekly wear the yoke and take the
dictation of a Wall street speculator,
who la only after the coin.
There is money enough Idle in the
banks of Oregon to flnanoe almost any
legitimate railroad scheme, yet the
owners and users would rather. wait for
outstders to take the Initiative and do
something than to do It themselves.
They would rather profit by the exer
tions of others than take any risk them-
telvee. .
What applies to (Tie state applies to
moat of the cities.
We cannot -quite agree with the
statement that there is money
enough In Oregon to finance needed
railroads, in addition to other works
of development, yet we do believe
that the state cannot afford to wait
very much longer upon Mr. Harrl-
man's will or whim about building
railroads through neglected portions:
of the stae. One or more state
railroads may become a necessity,
and It may be none too early to be
gin considering a constitutional
amendment with that end In view.
In general, the Medford paper's
criticism is well founded, but we
think there has been a marked Im
provement, an awakening, during the
last two or three years, and that the
spirit of development and progress
will grow in temperature, activity
and effectiveness. There are various
Blgns, in different localities, of this,
but the movement needs to be ao-
celerated and broadened. The peo
ple of Oregon, with the resources al
ready in their hands, can work won
ders within the next five yeare, even
if Harriman refuses to lift a finger.

Now a woman faddist advocates
a system of female dressing that
will not expose the curves of a
woman's form on the ground that
they are "Immoral." She says "a
thing can't be beautiful that is in
decent." This is affected prudery
carried to the point of idiocy. None
but a' vile mind sees anything "in
decent" in a woman's form decently
clad that is, neither unduly to ac
centuate or disguise its curves. It
Is beautiful, but can be "Indecent"
