The people of Portland, Oregon, are rejoicing becauie their city is
the first in the country to present a dean sheet following the recent

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

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

of The JournalToday's (Sunday) Jour

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

which naa already been grabbed for
speculation. A tax on apeculattve hold

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

isations that undertake to correct evil.

must go to It In solid phalanx. Inspired

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. LAMBERT M. MORRIN.'

Has Henry Reversed Himself?
Newberg, Or.. Feb. 8, 1908. To th
Editor of The Journal. If I am not mis
taken, about th time of Senator Mitch
ell's trial or very soon afterward, tha
Portland dally papers quoted Mr. Heney
as saying: "After a careful investiga
tion of Senator Fulton's career I can
say that whatever connection he may
have had with any of th land fraud
defendants, I am satisfied he has not
used his influence in aiding any unlaw
ful motive or with evil intention."
How is Mr. Heney going to make re
cent statements harmonise with the
above assertion? A READER.

Council Committee Recom
mends Ordinance Ap--propriatjng
$25,000.
Insistent requests upon the part of
representatives of east aide push elubs
finally brought the. members of the
ways and means committee of the city
council yesterday afternoon to recom
mend that an ordinance -appropriating
$15,009 for the purchase of rock crush
ers be cassed. 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. , , -
