MUST BOLD OB LET LOOSE. 0 NE THING that the people of Oregon, and of other parta of the country, too, must set about doing, In some way. Is to prevent any railroad corporation , from Belxlng and holding natural and strategic railroad routes, not to ' build railroads along them them elves, but to prevent other corpora- tions from doing so. This Is one of Mr. Harrlman'a favorite games, and V others play It to the extent of their - opportunity and ability, if it will V aerre their selfish purposes. It may be a lawful game, but it Is the bust ; Bees of the people's servants, espe- v daily the courts, to put a stop to it. The rule ought to be that If within a reasonable time and reasonable aa viewed by the people and not by '. the corporation claimant a railroad corporation does not build along a selected and surveyed route, any . other corporation may do so. Mr. Harrlman sought by this claim - of an old survey and selection to prevent Mr." Hill from building down tha north bank of the Colum ' bia, but the courts held that Harrl man or his grantors had slept upon their rights too long, and had so forfeited them. Or if that was not altogether the ground of the de cision, it should have been a suf- , ficient one. When plans had been ' matured by the Christian Coopera tire company to obtain, the property and rights of a. line across central Oregon, Mr . Harriman stepped and bought In ahead of them, not to . build himself, but to prevent th ;. other people from invading fhis ter rltory." And so now, it is reported Mr. Harriman has crews of sur eyors actively at work taking pos session of all possible routes across ; the Cascades and central Oregon, in ' order to forestall the construction of a railroad by anybody else. . We do not believe that he can thus hold those routes, or any route that he does not actually use, as against any other corporation that "will use them or any of them. It now be the law, whether statute .i- or court-made, that a survey, a se lection and a claim, by one corpora . tion, will hold a pass or natural route so that It cannot be used by any other corporation, then that law : cannot be changed too quickly. : law that would authorize or allow one railroad magnate thus to keep all railroads out of a great section . of country "would be too monstrously - tmjust to be upheld or obeyed. . II Mr. Harriman attempts to carry his tyranny to that extent he will find such a revolution on his bands as will make all his former ' troubles Insignificant. In fact, his tyranny over Oregon has about reached the uttermost limit of en durance. He can own and hold no routes that he doesn't occupy with railroads. assured that nations will not go to war for as slight causes as for merly. The military expenditure of tha nations of Europe has grown to onormous proportions. Forty years ago it was $600,000,000; twenty years ago it had grown to f 900,000,- 000; last year It bad mounted to $1,340,000,000. Nearly half of this was spent by four nations: Germany, $176,000,000; Great Britain, $150,- 000,000; France. $148,000,000, and Italy, $66,000,000. Forty years ago public debts of Europe, contracted mostly to meet war expenses amounted to $13,200,000,000. Last year they were $29,600,000,000 The interest on these debts and sink' ing fund percentages then were $400,000,000; last year they were $1, ISO, 000, 000. The annual Euro pean war cost, including prepara tions, is over $2,600,000,000. Does all this pay, even If the money cost1 only be considered? The people have to pay, to bear this Im mense burden, because their rulers cannot agree not to go to war. But there are still heavier costs, when war occurs death, wounds, crip ples, widowhood, orphanage, bad habits, loss of character, multiform misery and irretrievable injuries But so far as we have learned, th gontlemon at The Hague have done nothing to stop all this. care.

And no party can elect parts of the county want to have a its man president if It nominates a share In It. man because he Is a 'Democrat,' a Republican.' That day is past."

THE MEETING of eminent men at The Hague, supposedly in J the interest of peace through out the civilized world, is near Its close, and if it shall have accom n pllshed anything even In a slight de gree corresponding to Its ante-her-aldlngs, no sign of such a result is yet TlBlble. About the only prac , tical question of importance irVon .-' "which some hope of results was on : : tertalned, that of the limitation of national armaments, long ago dropped entirely out of sight.

The theory of modern municipal govern ment, and of ours, Is that large executive powers should be lodged In the hands of a responsible head the mayor. He ought to have, and it was designed that he should have, the power to remove Incompetent and untrustworthy employes, not withstanding the civil service rules. He seems to have made a mistake in not proceeding exactly in accordance with the charter, but if he has not the power to get rid of useless bar nacles on the detective' force he should be given that power. That such detectives could remain on the force indefinitely and there be no way to get rid of them except by difficult affirmative proof of their In competency, Is not a situation to be endured. The city may have to pay these ex-detectives, but it has lost nothing if It does; the city Is prob ably as well off without as with their services.

"She wove bright garlands, and in winsome play She bound him willing captive. Day by day She found new wiles wherewith his heart to please; Or bright the sun, or if the skies were gray, They laughed together under spreading trees, By running brooks or on the sandy shores o seas. They were but comrades. To that riant maid No serious word he spake; no lover's plea. Like careless children, glad and unafraid, They sported in their opulence of glee. Her shining tresses floated wild and free; In simple lines her emerald garments hung; She was both good to hear, and fair to see; And when she laughed, then Earth laughed too, and flung His cares behind him, and grew radiant and young. One golden day, as he reclined 'beneath The arching axurc of enchanting skies, Fair Summer came, engirdled with a wreath Of gorgeous leaves, all scintillant with dyes; Effulgent was she; yet within her eyes There hung a quivering mist of tears unshed; Her crimson mantled bosom shook with sighs; Above him bent the glory of her head; And on his mouth she pressed a splendid kiss, and fled.

PARTY" SHRINKING. S POKESMEN OF a Democratic machine organization ln Min nesota have given It out that Governor Johnson Is not a fit candidate for president, because. they Bay, he is not a Democrat. That is, he has not obeyed in everything the dictates of the machine. But whether Governor Johnson is a Democrat, ln the sense a good many people understand that term, is not Important. It seems he suits a large majority of the people of Minnesota presumably because he serves them well, and In that case it is entirely immaterial to them whether he is a Democrat in the eyes of the machine managers or not. "No man in either party," remarks the independent Republican St. Paul Dispatch, "big enough to be presi dent of the United States, Is small enough to be what is technically, ac cording to the measurements of the machine, a Democrat, or a Repub lican. No man is big enough to be governor if he Is merely a Demo crat or a Republican. The time for that has passed, in the state we hope, in the nation we know." Governor Johnson, the St. Paul paper says, was elected not by Democrats or Re publicans, but by the people, and so was Roosevelt, and it continues: No man is big enough to be president in this United States who Is small enough to be known as i Democrat, as a Republican. Mr Roosevelt has changed all that. He is the most popular man in America since Lincoln, and the most popular president. He la the first man elected absolutely because he Is not a party man, but is a fit man to be president of the people. "Roosevelt Is not a Republican. You will hear those antagonistic to him ln his own party attempt to damn him In this high Roman fash ion, Just as those Minnesota Demo crats declare that Johnson is not a Democrat. But Roosevelt is the president of his people, elected by these people, and the people are his constituents, the American people, not the Republican party. "No, Roosevelt is not a Repub lican if that means subservience to party. The Democrats even com plain that he takes their ammuni tion, that he has 'found them In bathing and run away, with their clothes.' But Roosevelt does ' notj the impartial and experienced judge that taking everything into account Portland surpasses them all in a natural site for the City Beautiful Portland people have not suffi clently realized and utilized this fact yet. Nature has been liberal, lavish has given us great gifts; be It ours to make the most of them, and to convince the country and the world that Portland has the most beautiful ite and environment of any city, nd that Its year-round climate Is excelled nowhere. The newspapers can't do all the publicity work needed. That Port and has within itself the making of the moBt beautiful city in the world should be heralded abroad by every resident who travels abroad, or writes a letter to a friend, or talks with a stranger. But first we must realize and appreciate the fact ourselves. AS TO HAZING. B' OYS WILL be boys. Too much cannot be expected of them. It was ordained in the beginning that they should pass through the boyhood period before becoming men. We shall, therefore, always have with us the boy, God bless him. But there are things the boys ought not to do. They should not engage ln hazing at college. Haz ing Is a wild, foolish fad that ap peared and ran Its course ln educa tional Institutions. It is no longer practiced at Institutions of the first class and good standing. The prin ciple on which it is based made it Impossible long to survjve. The American character is forever and everywhere for fair play and chival rous manhood. The American home is for true courage and a square deal. Hazing is cowardice, because In It a dozen overpower and heap Indignity on one. The many, by sheer force of numbers, maltreat the defenseless few. It is a custom wholly out of gear with American Ideas and usage and completely Indefensible from any standpoint. The hazing affair at Corvallis happens to have been harmless in Its consequences. Two boys were slightly cut, but the fact of the cut ting shows how deplorable the sequel might have been. Any time a boy may appear who will defend himself as Young Olp did, and with far more serious results. When he does, the hazers, who are the aggressors, will have to shoulder all the responsi bility of the consequences, for it Is theirs, and theirs alone. Thus, the Corvallis hazing is a timely warning and should serve to show all hazers to what their practice may lead. The Corvallis college authorities under stand it so and President Kerr is announced as determined in his de cision that there shall be no hazing at the state college. His students should rally to a man ln the work As a matter of fact this annlversav numoer is one or the finest (terns ever issued rroni a western press, and It would have done credit to the New York Herald.
