IHET REPORT of the Inland Wat erway! commission, published In full in yesterday's Journal, Is more than sufficient to jus- tlfjr its creation and maintenance. The report ably and exhaustively shows the Importance of and neces sity for the Improvement of Inland waterways. - And It shows also that the railroads, that object In every poscslble way to any government reg ulation of them, have been and are -the powerful enemies of the Improve "ment of rivers and the use of Inland ; waterways for .freight and passenger traffic This opposition is all-powerful In. congress now. No appropria tion for waterways will be made, and Chairman Hepburn of the ap propriation committee, on the petty plea of economy, desires that the commission shall not be paid. He Is of course obeying or acting In con cert with Speaker Cannon, who is .and always has been a tool of the 'railroads and trusts and an enemy of the people. Tet next summer a great party's platform must be construct ed that will equally praise Cannon and Hepburn, and Roosevelt, who 'earnestly urges Inland waterway im provement. . It is. high time the people were expressing themselves, in no uncer- these matters, they are expensive at fairs. Good roads and bridges are a prime necessity in any progressive country or state, and they cost lots of money. So we might go through the lone list of nubile expenditures. and flndffew places, at least so far as-appears on the surface, where much of a1 cut could 1e made. Of course there is a good deal of graft and extravagance, especially In municipal -management. ""There ought to be no occasion, for Instance, for New York city to be burdened with.' debt of $700,000,000, and Boston with an even larger one In proportion to wealth and population; but the demand for very expensive fire and police departments, public buildings, well-paved streets and beautiful parks, cannot be resisted, and In almost all public service it is difficult if not impossible to avoid yielding the maximum of pay for the minimum of service. Talk of retrenchment is easy, and cheap, but where and how to retrench under popular government, is a more dif ficult matter. The effort should be made, how ever, by public officers who have the expenditure of the people's money In their hands, and govern ment, national, state, county and city ugbt to be more and more reduced to strictly business principles, con ducted more as a great corporation employing a large number of men conducts its business. It should be the devoted duty of every public of ficial to Bee that so far as his acts are concerned the people get full value for the money expended on him or through him. But while perhaps not very much can be accomplished In the direction of lessening public expenditures, much can be accomplished in meth ods of raising public revenues and distributing their burden more equitably. For this purpose every reasonable plan of readjusting our tax system should be given consider ation. President Roosevelt has re peatedly urged the heavy taxation of large inheritances, and another effort to tax Incomes, but congress shows no disposition to follow his suggestions. State legislatures have also been slow to respond to the need of providing new sources of revenue, particularly by taxing very valuable franchises granted to pub lic service corporations. This is a subject that ought to engage the earnest attention of all lawmakers and Influential publicists. If the country Is to go on spending more a 10-mule load with one lonely mule. It! is, however, a truth that many farmers and numerous dairymen have during all these ' years - been trying, to make profit from a dairy with fifth-class cows. To the scrub cow is due the failure of many, a dairy. The business, was dismissed as unprofitable, and attention turned to other channels without having been given a fafr trial. It Is as Im possible to make a dairy pay with inferior cows as to operate a 12 horse thresher with a one-horse en glne. It cannot be done, and never will be done. 1 But substitute first-class cows and a revolution Is at once wrought Feed costs no more, for a scrub animal eats as much and often more than a good one. The care and keep is the same, but the milk product is doubled, possibly trebled. Thrift Is at once substituted for unthrlft, and an unprofitable Industry gives way to a remunerative business. The man who is trying to do bus iness with a scrub cow Is fooling away his time. He is attempting the Impossible, and Inviting failure. It is only the Intensified cow that is worth her keep and care. The scrub is, along with the ox-cart and flail, a relic of the gone-times. 3he in the twin of the moss-covered pest ridden old orchard, and the sooner she is "passed up," the better for her owner, and the country. Per haps it is cruel, but this Is an un sentimental, money-changing age, and it is her fate. tain terms, on this subject.

Pacific northwest has taken up the shipments this winter and several With characteristic malice and un fairness tha Oregqntan Is striving to create the impression that the evi dence In the WaymireRadding case established the woman's charges against Mayor Lane. Such insinua tions are absolutely false. The Jury, by its verdict, declared In effect that Mrs. Waymire'a testimony was per jured. Asde from her testimony there was' not a particle of evidence to Indicate that the mayor had been guilty of the slightest Impropriety. But the Oregonlan prefers to accept the perjured testimony of this ad venturess rather than the evidence of Mayor Lane, backed as It was by a number of reliable witnesses. Ap parently the Oregonlato has under taken the task of carrying to comple tion the nefarious Job attempted by Mrs. Waymire and her accomplices. "There Is usoally honor among newspapers In the scoop business," remarks the Albany Democrat, re ferring to the Oregonian's breach of faith in publishing Senator Ful ton's letter before the date he had fixed for Its release. But this wjs not a case of "scoop" at all; news paper men only grin at scoops and rustle harder; It was a pure case of a breach of faith and of trust such as not one newspaper in a thou sand would be guilty of. : Opinions of State - Press on Statement One , Will Not Change Rack. .

Possibly the council will listen more to a demand from this quarter than to one from any other.

We should be parties larly ready to extend to them a sin cerely cordial greeting, and to give them all the true information and assistance possible. Make them friends of Oregon from the begin ning. The Journal has been asked by two of its readers to answer the question: "What is a man to do when out of work in a financial crisis and is starving?'' rThe question is plain ly only academic, for here in Port land and in Oregon no man need Btarve for lack of work. It is time enough to deal with such problems when they actually confront us. The Oregonlan seems to have be come an accomplice in the plot to blacken the reputation of Mayor Lane.

In a recent editorial tha Oregonlan saya "that Republican candidate tor tha legislature -who takes Statement No. 1 pledges himself to vote for Qeorga K. Chamberlain for the United Btatea senate." In face of the fact that Oregon la known to be largely Repub lican, thla aeema queer loglo. Is It possible that Republlcana have so lost tneir loyalty to party aa to vote by choice for a Democratic aenator? Not t all. It haa been done and will ba one only for aelf-protection. When tha political machine of Oregon draws in us eniaciea, ceases its nerarious measures, and lends its strength to nominating clean men for office, nom ination and election of Republican can didates will be assured and not till then. . i But soma, mora honeatlv inclined than others, may doubt the existence of a Republican nollticai machine. If so. Just watch the columns of the dally ress and there will an near sufficient evidence to convince any and all doubt ers -of Its existence. We know of no better way or describing thla Repub lican political machine than by com paring It to the octopus. Aa Is well known, the octopus Is a aly, cunnlns. subtle Insidious monster. - Hence is it more often called the devil-fish. One f Us most useful wearxma Is Its Ink- Sack, which enables It often to concent Its real purpose until its trev is rath- red into its deadly suckers and ten tacles and escape Is Impossible. For years the Oretron les-islature was within the grasp of the Republican po litical octopua. Its tentacles reached out, and, protected by the good work pf Its ink-bag (the subsidised press), its suckers fastened themselves onto nd stifled everything honorable In the world of politics. Nothina- was too good or too large for its capacious maw. Poor men went to the legislature and came away rich. Votes and men's hon- ur were uuugni ana soia iiae came. Every phase of political and social life was Diigniea ana prostituted by it. At lensrth. through the efficient work of the direct primary law, and es pecially statement no. i, one or two of its tentacjes and numerous deadly suckers were cut off. True to its name the devil-fish dies hard. So also oes the machine. It realises that It is now or never. Hence the political octopua of Oregon is mete fully alive many mm ii naa Deen. ior years. Kvery Indication points to thia. In fact, a slate la alreadv made un. a plan of campaign is outlined, and, un less the people of Oregon awake to their danger, honesty in politics will be known no longer and the producer. ine oreaawinner, tne very foundation of our government, will .have lost, and "the interests" will have won the big gest viciorym meir history.

The question of direct primary law and Its connecting Statement No. 1 waa tried eut two years ago ln June be tween the electors of Oregon and the macmne politicians or the state, when the latter came out second best. Not contented with defeat ln that cam paign, it Is apparent that a disposition Is prevalent this year, -on the part of that machine clique, to overthrow the law and Statement No. 1. which has caused the old-time bosses so much trouble. It appears, however, that tha naiter ana iasn in tne nands or this element Is a thing of extreme obscur ity, and all efforts to hoax the voters at the coming election will be of no avail. With hut very few exceptions the voters of Oregon are satisfied with the results of the present system of voting and will Ignore the issue which the noise of the anti-Statement No. 1 conspirators involves. When the question is tried out again the bosses will see how useless have been their efforts to Invoke the old-time bossism which prevailed ln the days of ma chine politics. Oregon has experienced that "new birth of freedom," and we now have a government of the people, for the peo ple and by the people ' not party wmcn snau not peri sn ai tne nanas or the would-be bosses.

It may have a larger bearing upon t)M fundamental In dustries Of the country than anv other of his marvelous achievements. March 7 Luther Burbank will be ro years old- For 33 years he has baen conducting his experimental gardens at Santa Rosa, which is now admittedly one of the wonder spots of the world. It is an InsDlratlonal lesson on what can be done by one Individual, worklng.out his own life along his own lines by per sistent, patient, scientinc work. It is the careless custom of many dcodIa to speak of the scientist as a dreamer. "The dreamer of science, one bears of con tinually. . ... Is it not time" to show ourselves can- able of a little clearer sort of thought on this matter? No scientist is a dreamer. If he Is dreaming he Is not scientific. A scientist works, and his whole work Is an effort to secure abso lute knowledge. Granted, he has an hypothesis, a theory which he is seeklnar to develon. But ho does not spoak of hla theory as a fact. It is primarily his business to find out facts, and not until a succes sion of facts so strong as to be Incon trovertible array themselves on the side of. his theory does he speak of It as scientific truth. Moreover, the true scientist holds himself in the condition of mind which Is always open to truth. A new fact which would utterly unset all his theories and cast hla labor of years onto the rubbish heap he would be the first to welcome. No, a scientist Is not a dreamer, and Burbank la not a wizard. He is a scientist t K A Young Girl's Coiffure.

'These are especially suitable for young girls, either on the occasions of weddings or for evening functions.
