ISDOM In a defense, and money Is a defense, but the excellency of knowledge Is that wisdom gtvetb life to :. them that hare It Ecclestantes t11, , ; ,' A sermon en this text might take ; different directions and Inspire var Ions comments; bnt It scarcely neoja , a polemical casuist or a theologian to sec these meanings In It, to-wlt: that wisdom without money Is bet ter than money without wisdom; and that while money Is good, It needs wisdom to use It properly. Money alone may be of slight value; under aome circumstances, as when one can buy nothing with it, It Is of no value; 1 and under other circumstances, as when It causes a person to drown or freeze, or when he spends It to be aot himself, It Is worse than of no value. ; But wisdom Is a far more precious thing. With It onNs not only sure to get what money be may really need, but "It gtveth life to them that hare It" Here the theo logians may diverge, as to the mean lng of the word "life"; but without ' attempting to describe much less to settle, any possible dispute, we may assume the meaning to be that . a person with wisdom will make the most and best of life here, and will go hence prepared, for any future ex perlences that may await him. "Wla dom" then. Is the principal word, to define, remember and live up to or strive after; it Is as far above money as the mansion Is superior to a tool used In. Its construction- ayei ' and : l- In a far higher sense.; The reputedly ; . wisest inan. was ery rich, but he did not advise people to get money, but said: "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get 'wisdom. . and with all thy getting get understand log." - Vv! Money Is not to be despised; it is - a necessity to be honestly and with due moderation striven for, not for Its own sake but for what it will , procure; but the man who wears C himself out striving for it, who seeks , to obtain it wrongfully, who becomes ' despairing at the loss of it, who al lows it to fill up the best of himself ' and the most of his life. Is not wise " He has forgotten that "wisdom is the principal thing' that "wisdom , glveth life." But what Is wisdom? ..That deserves another sermon. A WRONG THAT NEEDS A REM EDY. AN OLD saying, that law stu dents were taught to believe, v r was that "there Is no wrong without a legal remedy." needed but a Httle Investigation on the part of a student to perceive that the saying, like many other popular aphorisms, was untrue, and observa tlon later ; In life taught him that even if it could be regarded as stat Lag a rule there were a multitude of exceptions to It Here Is the case of Harriman and Oregon. Some $29,000,000 surplus has been piled up by the O. R. & N, Co., wholly an Oregon road, since Harriman acquired it, and none of JiVhas been invested for the benefit of the people of Oregon who tolled and strlved to make the business for this road that slelded such profits.' What became of the major part of this money only Mr. Harriman and his confidential employes know, and ' they won't tell. Perhaps they are ' tot legally obliged to tell. If they were, not one of them could re member anything about It. They , would say so under oath. And for such people the law against perjury is a dead letter. f. 1 We think any impartial person would say that this diversion of bo large a sum of money thus gained In Oregon waa a wrong to the people of this state Either rates should have been reduced, or, better, the . surplus, after a fair dividend to ' stockholders had been paid, should have-leen used tq build more and badly needed roads in Oregon. This view, is all the'more Burely reason : able because' beyond any doubt such roads would have become almost at once profitable. But nothing of this kind was done.-f It was Mr. Harrl man's road, f; He taxed the traffic al It would bear,; bad the proceeds sent to New York, and used them as he pleased, ' entirely, regardless of the interests of the people of, Oregon, and in fact In some cases 'directly and distinctly against their Inter ests. and Is dolus: so yet. Here is a .-reat wrong, for which, as yet, mere Is no legal remedy. This very case presents a problem worthy the pro found consideration of statesmen. legislators, Jurists and publicists. Should there not be a, legal remedy for such a great wrong Inflicted upon hundreds of thousands of people! Are the people of a great state to remain thus helpless In the arbi trary and despotic power of one man? It may be said that the country 1" open for others to build roads, but It Is not. for this man uses some of tills money to thwart every attempt tc do this. It may be said that the people can build roads themselves, but they cannot without radically changing their state constitution and entering upon a business entirely foreign to its contemplated func tions. So the great wrong goes on. Three quarters of a million people ore suffering It, are helpless under the thumb of one man. Who will devise the remedy? What shall it be? . EARTHQUAKES. I N THE divinity of natural laws. established""- by the supreme power that organised the uni verse, we ' have been able to leorn the routes of the myriad orbs, rushing through its, Infinite spaces and can at a moment of time de clare the position of any of the worlds. Yet how powerless we are to control the smallest danger ele ment In the conduct of what we are pleased to call "our" world. The cataclysms that have lately visited the planet reduce man to the miser able Insignificance of the little ant traveling the pie crjist on which he Is cast by his fate and nourishes his life. Nevertheless there Is hope that In a future, not so very distant, man will have learned to prepare vent boles in the earth's crust that shall release the striving gases and so; save the catastrophe of an Impend ing earthquake. Already we have learned, by the seismograph, to tell of an earthquake which we have not felt and to measure its distance from I he seat of observation. And now the tele-seismograph of Rlvero gives forewarning of a coming disturb ance. We are wont to boast of exemp tion from earthquakes in this re gion. Out look about -you and ob serve that what you boast of as the grand beauties in your geographical position, the mountains and ridges of the Cascade range," are the fruit of the most fearful catastrophes the earth has ever known; that these beautiful snow peaks are bnt extinct volcanoes whose choked flues may seek free vent at any moment And observing this, be duly modest in your booming. But the southern hemisphere has suffered more In modern ages than our favored quarter of the globe. And so the Spanish language has given names to the different classes of earthquakes, which have been adopted by other idioms. Thus we have the temblor (trembling), the terra-moto (earth movement) and last, most terrible of all, the choque- de-trepldaclon (the frightful shock) Generally tne temblor is not a ca tastrophe. If, however, a terra-moto Is followed by a second movement It Is prudent to seek safety from fall ing walls, which are likely to result It Id distinguished from the temblor which is only a trembling, by a wave of the earth's surface, which throws elevated structures out of line. The choque-de-trepldaclon is distin guished bya blow apparently direct ly under the earth; a tremendous blow as If with an enormous hammer. Then Assures In the surface are to be expected and dreadful destruc tlon, accompanied by explosions and escaping gases; even the elevation of vblcanoes. While Humboldt rested in declar ing the causes of these phenomena to be lost In eternal obscurity Young declared that mathematical calculations could do much toward clearing up their character. In the middle of the last century Werte- hein demonstrated that in all plastic bodies submitted in any point to a shock or any mechanical, molecular modification whatever, there would result waves of dilation and com pression, Young, with his mathe matical theories, demonstrated that these waves were propagated at the late of 4.6 miles per second. And these estimates have been further demonstrated by the recent obser vations of the seismograph, of which anjinterestlng example was given In the earthquake of Valdivla, when Abe seismograph in the observatory at Lima, Peru, gave a duration of 5 minutes, or 300 seconds, which at a rate of 4.6 miles per second showed the correct distance from tne observatory. Similar results have been - obtained . by observatories in Europe, North America and lo Japan: Observations of the British association have given valuable data on which, rests a theory touching the substance of the earth's interior They have shown that vertical waves of penetration have traversed the diameter of the earth in SO minutes between antipodal points; whence the fact; Is drawn that the interior of the earth is not an incandescent mass, because for such transmission Is required a mass possessing twice the density and rlgtdlty of steel Thus the seismograph has taken the place In terrestrial analysis of the spectrum In celestial examinations THE NEW MOSES. A' ND WHAT Is to be the next shift in this kaleidoscope of public sentiment? At Boston, not President Roosevelt, but J. Plerpont Morgan, has been hailed as the Moses who has delivered the country from the perils of the panic. At New York, an Important news paper, after crowning Mr. Morgan as the saviour of the country, calls not upon the president, or congress, or the courts, or all, but upon the mighty banker as the one man tn whom the power Is lodged, to de liver this nation Into a land of Canaan where there Is no piratical finance, frenzied railroading or buc caneering, bankers. But It is Brooklyn that has taken the persimmons. There, an orator denounced President Roosevelt as the maker of the panic, and as cribed to Mr. Morgan and to John D. Rockefeller unrestricted praise for arresting It. The big audience arose to Its feet, and applauded to the echo, not Theodore Roosevelt, but the premier of Standard Oil. Yesterday Mr. Rockefeller seemed to live mainly to be the object of vituperation, but today, along with the gallant Morgan, he threatens, if the Brooklyn audience reflects the true spirit of the future, to become the born idol of a fickle and fan tastic public. And If It shall all come to pass, and if In bis popular ity Mr. Rockefeller shall keep his modest and affectionate eye out for the main chance with the same thrifty enterprise as in the days of bis unpopularity, what will the har vest be, and how futile will have been the many speeches of our pres ident? If, too, Mr. Morgan Is, as stated, the real and only Moses who can give the country surcease from the vices of Wall street. If he is the one and only man who can redeem this land for Its people, to what ends have the handiwork of Wash ington and the other fathers come? PROGRESS OP THE NEGRO. P' RESIDENT ROOSEVELT spoke Friday, on the fortieth annf- versary of the founding of How ard university, in a congrata latory, encouraging tone of the prog ress and accomplishments, since their liberation, of the American ne groes. His remarhawlll doubtless prompt a derisive response by Gov ernor Vardaman, and will receive scant approbation from a consider able portion of the southern whites, who are Inclined to magnify racial distinctions, but his view of the ne gro race In this country will be ap proved by conservative and lmpar tlal people generally. When everything is .taken into consideration, the progress of the ne groes since their release from slav ery has been not only air that could have been expected, but has been surprisingly rapid and satisfactory. For remember their Beveral genera tlons of slavery in this land, during which, whatever their treatment otherwise, they were denied all edu cation, and kept in complete depend ence and without personal respon sibility. Remember, back of that, the unnumbered centuries of semi- savagery In their original country Consider what an Inheritance all this was to overcome, in order to become responsible, orderly, even tolerable citizens of one of the foremost civil ized nations of the world. Admit and understand, too, the racial dif ference, that Negrophoblst Tillman makes so much of; that they are, not only through heredity but by original creation. If you please, the white men's mental Inferiors. Keep all these heavy handicaps in mind, and then ask if the behaviour and achievements of the negroes during the last 45 years have not been ou the whole creditable and encourag ing. Put the 'same number of the Anglo-Saxon race Into the same cir cumstances, place them 'under the same conditions, except as to original racial characteristics giVe them the benefit and advantage of that and we doubt whether in the same time they would have done much better, If as well. How many generations, how many centuries, did it take to make the Englishman or American of today? . And yet there are people who seem to Imagine that the negro race -In this country, mere chattels. like cat tie, up lo 44 years ago, should be model citizens In all respects. Lin c61n aet them free, but what a plight was theirs. The eduth, where nearly all of them lived, waa In rulna. Their old masters could not employ them and pay them wages If they would The north did not want them, nor did most of them want to come north, They had always been provided with the necessaries of life, without care or thought on their own part, and at once were turne out, tn a desolated, pauperized country, to take care of themselves, as helpless in many cases as so many children. Yet a large proportion of them have accumulated property. Many have comfortable homes of their own They have schools of all; grades, and are gradually becoming' educated, no( only In a literal but In an Industrial sense. And while there Is a tend ency among many of them toward crime, and while a considerable pro portion are lazy and "shiftless," they as a whole, and considering their antecedents, are well-behaved and commendable people. People they are, human beings, not of the lower order of animals. Citi zens they are, by law and by right Americans they are, having no other country but this. Here they must remain, and have a right to remain, and the duty, as it should be the privilege, of the white race is to help them to progress and prosper, to become better educated In prac tical, especially Industrial ways, to make less of racial d'fferences and more of the kinship of all human kind. THE MAN AXD THE JOB. A YOUNG man was picked up wandering about the streets late at night, with a bottle of poison In his pocket, with which he says he intended to kill himself In two days If In that time he did not find work, for which he says he had been bunting in vain for several days. This Is rather an unusual story these days that of a young man willing to work but who cannot find a Job. It Is true that ust now there Is a much larger supply of lab'or than there has been for two or three years past, but therj Is doubtless enough work for all who are willing to do good, honest work:. Some men cannot find a Job when others who are no better and perhaps not as good workers can, because they haven't the faculty for finding work that the others have. Their only recourse Is an , employ ment agency, and It Is possible that even a worthy young man has not the necessary fee to be "put next" to a Job. v This' case, and doubtless many others if they were made known. show the need of a public employ ment bureau, and It Is unfortunate that circumstances hare prevented the establishment of such an insti tution before this. It Is especially needed Just now, as winter Is coming on and a good many men have been thrown out of employment by the railroads. Some employment agents operate on the square, but others do not, and It would be a benefit to many Individuals, both people need ing work done and those seeking work, to have a public employment office charging only such fees as would make It self-sustaining, and finding Jobs for such young men as this whether he had the fee or not. The affidavit filed by defendant Caleb Powers, asserting that he did not heretofore hare a fair trial, may be legally "Immaterial and irrele vant" in the present case, but that It states the fact there Is no doubt Three times the highest court In Kentucky, having enough respect for Itself to put partisanship aside, has reversed the conviction of Pow ers, on the ground that he did not have a fair trial, and all impartial outside observers know that he did not, even if the appellate court had not so held. He has been tried by machine Democrats, and convicted because be was an aspiring, influen tial, resourceful, fighting Republi can. That ne conspired to kill Goe- bel has never been proved, and from all the facts and circumstances at tending that tragedy is very Improb able. The disturbance in the financial waters has enabled the big fish to swallow a lot of little ones, so that Standard Oil, the steel trust, and other such concerns will be more monopolies than ever. Although more than two months have elapsed since the publication of The Journal's fifth anniversary edi tion, the flood of commendatory comments continues almost un abated. These comments come from all quarters and they afford most gratifying evidence that Tbe Jour nal's effort to advertise to the world the wonderful resources nd oppor tunities of. the Oregon country , has ........ ''- :r .irT-j not been In vain. ..In this effort the whole state should be Interested and we therefore call the attention of all our readers to the comments on the anniversary edition', published else where In this issue. ,.-r a THE NEW FOOTBALL RULES. A FLAYER of Rugtry football .as exemplified In the Stanford- California game, lies danger ously Injured In a San Fran cisco hospital He has two ribs broken, his kidneys are badly In jured, and he has other ailments. The two big California universities adopted the English game in the be lief that It was more tree from casualties.
