HARRIMAN. ytHE REASONS given by Mr I Harrlman for postponing the building of the central Oregon railroad and for pushing the construction of the Oregon & Wash Ington railroad from Portland to Everett seem Inconsistent. He says railroads cannot be built on 7 per cpnt money. Yet the Oregon & Washington is being built on bor rowed money, loaned by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company. Up to June 30, 1906, over $10,000,000 had b-en loaned this company by the Navigation company at some rate of Interest, and during the past year these loans have Increased. Half of this sum would have built the road across nntral Oregon and opened up 40,000 square miles of territory to settlement. The building of the Oregon & Washington, however im portant strategically, will open up un new territory, but will simply di vide the business. To the ordinary man it would seem that If one proposed railroad of a system can borrow profitably, an other proposed road of the same system could do the same thing. In the ear ending June 30, 1906, the surplus of the Navigation company was 1.1,157,152, enough in the one year to have built the road across central Oregon. It may be that Mr. Harrlman has from his standpoint a i better use for this money than build ing roads in Oregon, but It will be hard to get the people of this state ; to agree with him. We fear when , H Interest rates drop there will be ' j sorae' tftber reason. i In speaking of building the road ;to Putfetsound Mr. Harrlman la re i wrlti Jitt iavinig irtate4 that "the HE EXTREME of criminal vio lence to which Insane fanati cism operating in the name of religion will go was illustrated in Chicago, where Ave persons, two of (hem, son and daughter of the victim, moBt cruelly and horribly tortured to death an old woman. bedfast with rheumatism. They twisted her "limb, out of Joint, and similarly maltreated the helpless creature for hours, until death hap pily came to her release. They acted upon the insane religious theory that they were operating on devils with which the woman was possessed, their leader having told them that sickness and pain were proof of the presence of devils in the body of the sufferer. This, though an extreme case. Is only one of thousands Illustrating the ease with which weak-minded or Ill-balanced people allow what they consider a religious, divine or super human conviction to draw or drive them Into insanely ridiculous, dls gusting, cruel and criminal perform ances. To a normal mind It seems Inconceivable that such horrible and violent exhibitions of lunacy should have their source In a religious quest or desire, yet so It Is. Some person with a considerable stock of vitality, gab and "magnetism" picks out here and there texts of Scripture, pon ders upon them and the ideas they uggest to his narrow and diseased mind . uptll he becomes a mono maniac; gathers about him a band of followers wfth less natural In telligence than himself, and success fully inoculates them with the virus of his Insanity, and the result is Dowieltes, Holy Rollers, Holy Jump ers, langlea jonguers, Parhamites nd the rest. These murderers of hat- poor old woman were probably sincere, thought they were doing God's service; they could not real-j ze that if there were any "devils" in the case it was they and not the old woman who were afflicted with them; In a word, they are religiously craEy. - What to do with such creatures is a hard problem, because no distinct, exact line can be drawn between sane and insane religious belief and action.
