The onlv bualneaa of a court should be to administer the law.

This is a showing of which the Portland business men have reason to a be proud. It is all the better becauie at one time the situation tn T X the northern city threatened to rcome especially acute. But if Portland hti cause for pride In being the first to retire Us asset currency, how much more satisfaction should there be in cities that are on so sound a basis that they, could weather the storm with- out resort to clearing-house certificates? San Diego was by itself in Z that class on the Pacific coaat. no other city of like siie and volume of 4 business being able to tide over the trouble without asset money. And , , the Union haa reaaon to know that the manner in which San Diego j ; met that financial crisis and passed it did wonders in strengthening this city in the estimation of the outside wortd. Even now. newcom- era exnress snrnrisa and admiration when they learn that San, Diego issued no clearing-house certificates. One of the first questions of manv visitors is as to tha amount of the supposed issue, and when they are told that San Diego went through the flurry on a hard-money I basis, their confidence in the city is manifestly increased.

Portland, Or, Feb. 9. To the Editor of The JournalToday's (Sunday) Jour nal reads Ilk your pen was connected with a live wire. Though some may receive a shock. If you keep up your courage, the people of Oregon will get alive to th fact that they have at least one great paper on their side. There's not an editorial on tha page but la worth reading twice. Practically every word applies to th right here and now. It's easy for a man in the responsible po sition of editor to generalise; but we know that it takes courage to get down to particulars. To say nothing of the article on the reactionary movement, the three editorials on the land ques tion are getting down to particulars ana zunaamenuus witnout equivocation. Thoughtful readers will put them to gether, and see that the shifting of tax ation largely to land grants and spec ulative .vacant holdings will tend to discourage the practice of grabbing which makes Inevitable, expensive trials like that dealt with In another editorial, and will likewise operate as a heavy annual fine to make the holdera put to uae or sell on reasonable terms that which naa already been grabbed for speculation. A tax on apeculattve hold ing will turn Investment into produo tive Industry especially when that chan nel win os unoDatruoted by tne aams of taxation after th amendment dis cussed become law. A. L. BOEDER. W. C T. U. or Otherwise? Hqod River, Or Feb. 8 To the Editor of The Journal Three drug stores out of four In this place have been pulled lately by our city marshal (William Gauger) for selling whiskey in less quantities than the law allows. Sev eral parties had gone to the marshal and told blm to pull th different drug gists on tha charge stated and Mr. Gauger replied that If they would fur nish him Ihe evidence he would carry out his Dart of the work. Thlna-s ran along In this way for some time; then the marshal ' asked a young man to help him in catching a druggist selling whiskey. Tha marshal gave him the of labor organisations or other organ isations that undertake to correct evil. Industrial, economlo or social they must go to It In solid phalanx. Inspired by the Idea to overcome the specific evil with "men not measures" for good men brina- arood measures. The first step then Is to obliterate party machines and Dartv nolltlclans: It is runaamentai: without it there can be no real reform. The inspiration of the political machine Is conquest of spoils, the inspiration of the people should be conquest of the mschlnes, and the first step to con quest of the machines Is a rigid adher ence to Statement No. I. for Statement No. 1 containa the expressed wish of th people, and he who Is true to Statement No. 1 Is true to th expressed wish of the people. Is there anything simpler than this? Have the people ever thought what it means to tell tnem to their face that some fellow or another, too stupid to aea hla imDudence. will not vote for the choice of the people who elect him to carry out tneir wineT un, psnaw, if such a thing occurred in the course of one's private business or affairs, anma one would set a swift kick. A man who refuses or pretends to tell the people, the whole people, that he will not obey the popular will, should not be within the range of the vision of the Deople, much less a subject of serloua discussion.

The crusher will be used to furnish rock for city - street work.-. r - : i - City Engineer Taylor stated at yes terday's meeting of the committee' that izs.uuu wouia not ne -enougn to pur chase a quarry, erect bunkers and trans port the rock about the city. If the council looks with favor upon the pas saga of ths ordinance It Is probable that the estimate of the committee will either bs Increased at the present time or additional money will b voted for th enterprise later. , Dr. tb M. Davis spoke In favor of the rock crushers and as representative or tne east side pusn ciuos urgea tne committee to recommend an ordinance appropriating 850.000. He said that crushed rock which now costs the city 82.50 a yard could be manufactured for much less than one half that sum. City Attorney Kavanaugh raised the point that It would be Illegal for the city to sell the crushed rock and de clared it would be valid for tha city to purchase and maintain rock crushers If ft refrained from selling Its product. The committee voted not to attempt to sell the material. , , - 3;ixCWhereAo;Bine.;; "'Merchants' lunch' daily,' 85a' Sunday dinner, 60c. Kruss's. Park and Morrison. Theatre Again at Roseburg.
