While Massachusetts legislatures have been censurable for various things, and have not been free from corruption, Massachusetts leads every other state In its watchfulness of labor and education and in legislating In their Interest. It is also foremost in Its care for the public health, treatment of the unfortunate, im provement of highways, care of for ests and beach resorts, protection of the people's savings and ballot re ferm. So .when Massachusetts takes up this subject of worklngmen's pensions, or insurance, her action is worthy of notice. We believe no state has passed "milked" Oregon.

He has been twice elected mayor of that .city, the last time by some 7,000 majority, and the people seem to like his style of public service. He is a Democrat, but entirely aside from politics he has fought some notable battles for the people of that city, i He has defied the traction companies ' and battled like the giant he is for years for 3 -cent fares on street rail ways and for other reforms. If he has been a notedly good mayor; if he has done and can do more for the people of that city as mayor than any other man, as a majority of them think, is lt not a wrong thing tor the national administration, in pursuance of a partisan purpose that properly las nothing to do with the local affairs of Cleveland, to bring all its possible pressure to bear to defeat this man, peculiarly a people serving manf , ILlfeaxJm.

This is a myBtery, unless lt may be explained as we suggested in the first paragraph of this article. It seems to shape up as a fight of the people of this country against men of the Hijrrlman type, and of the people of Oregon against him In par ticular. The people don't want such a fight, but they can't become abject slaves to the Harrlmans. He has a barb wire fence around cen tra) Oregon, nearly all Oregon, and sneers at us by saying that in these phenomenally good times he is hard up and cannot build roads in this re gion. At the same time he can spend millions to "buck against Hill" by building to Seattle. We think the legislature of Ore gon will have some very important propositions vto consider a year from next winter along the line of a state 0' aepUooally.good and capable ttaaj railroad across Oregon unless some-J NE OF MR. HARRIMAN'S ex cuses for not building more railroads in Oregon at this time is that lt is difficult to get money for that purpose. Even at a high rate of interest, he pleads, he cannot secure funds necessary for building a railroad through central Oregon. Some well known facts render this representation of doubt ful validity and little force, If they do not serve to dispute lt altogether and put lt in the light of an Insult to the intelligence of the people of this state. The reports of the O. R. & N. company, the section of Mr. Harri man's road between Portland and Huntington, show that its surplus earnings since he came into control of lt amount to over $24,000,000. It would take not more than one third of this amount to build a road across eastern Oregon from Vale to Detroit, or an equal amount along other routes. This money was earned in Oregon; it is profits poured into Mr. Harriman's coffers by the people of this state, that he has so shamefully neglected; and yet he says he hasn't and can't get the money to build a railroad through central Oregon. Even if this be true he thus confesses a grevious moral breach of trust. What right has a Wall street financier so to conduct a public business in this state that he makes $24,000,000 net profits out of our people and then refuses to accede to their Just and urgent demands for an enlargement of that business on the ground that he has spent the money elsewhere? This Is not robbery as defined by any statute, but lt is a species of robbery nevertheless. .We know where some 'of the So he asked, "Where am I at?" The president called him a prevaricator and an undesirable citizen, and "the incident was closed." But because the World has pub lished the names of the contributors and the amounts, the administration admiration syndicate had one of Its nightmares, and the other day sent out the following as "special" news It le believed here that Oyster Bay which thus far has treated In silence the revived stories of corporation partlc lpatlon in the 1904 campaign, sees In them unmistakable Indications that the financial Interests most bitterly arrayed against the present administration are endeavoring to poison the public mind When dirt some 01 aim. The policy of railroad regulation is to encourage competition, not stifle it. But when this runs coun ter to the plans of the railroads but little attention la paid to lt. Al though the Hill and Harriman sys- fJ.J terns are rar from friendly In many directions, when it comes to rates they have no difficulty in reaching an agreement so long as it is an agreement for a raise. A recent raise In rates was most harmoniously arranged. We -are bound to assume this was not the result of any con cert of action or price arrangement, but one of those curious coinci dences which are so hard to ex plain, but with which we are all familiar.
