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.

SUMMER'S GOODBYE
- By Ella Wheeler W&ox
All in the time when Earth did most deplore
The cold, ungracious aspect of young May,
Sweet Summer came and bade him smile once more.
"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

to make the most of them, and to

that Portland has the most beautiful
ite and environment of any city,
nd that Its year-round climate Is

publicity work needed. That Port

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
