Portland should help extend th ' railroad fromShnlkd to Prineville Tnd Bend, and to Salt Lake City, and t.o give the producers of that vast region a chance to get. their crops out to market, and help to develop that great region, to Portland's as well'as that territory's advantage. " Portland should have a steamer service to,- the Coquilie river, inde should have greater service to the latter very Important region. v- Portland should prepare for bigger and more vigorous open river campaign than ever 30 feet at low tide over 'the bar, 27 feet from here to Astoria, free locks at Oregon City steady" and rapid work on the Celilo 1 canal, and more work on th Upper , Columbia and Snake rivers.

Enough of i this "spirit" would make Portland a city of 300.000 when the census is taken two years from now. u Portland people should wake up! 1 "Should 'keep a goin. " Democrats', that the state ever saw," Thla blaming or crediting the poor little minority of Democrats with everything is "real funny." It seems that for years about' one thlrd-ot the voters of the state, with not one tenth of the legislature and but few other offices, and. scarcely more than the skeleton form of an organization, have passed whatever laws they wanted, and overturned the state po' litically. How absurd this is may be seen tay looking at the vote for rep reseptaiive in congress. In 30 years the Democrats have not had. the poWer to pass a single law, or get a single-state office. The simple fact Is that for certain good -purposes most of the Democrats and a large portion of "the Republicans have on some occasions united, though In formally and without any. party fu sion, and these combined voters have become invincible. T INCORRECT FIGURING. I R. S. -A. LOWELL of Pendle ton has written a long argu ment to show that most. Re publicans are opposed to Statement No. 1. Some of his rea rguing In support of this proposition i like that -of a lawyer with a bad case; either the premises are Incor rect or the conclusion doesn't follow, Ilr. Lowell gays that 40,000 Demo crats voted for the Statement. No. 1 j law, leaving only about 30,000 Re publican votes for It. But even ac cepting these figures as correct, there were only 21,162, votes against the .bill. 'Counting all these as Re j publicans, there is still a majority of f over 8;000 Republican votes foe the -M it. But-how does Mr. Lowell flg-ura- out 40,000 Democratic votes In , Oregon? The returns nowhere in dicate that that HiajQV Democrats oted on any propos'iwror on all t together. There was a tSfcuWLabout i llfi.OQO votes cast, and ti a ound j numbei90;000 on the stafment bill, t 26.000 Vbters not voting in t"h-ls law. And eve allowing for 40ii00 Demo cratic voters, is it not rebVonable to supposethat some of thei did not vote on this bill? Taking evyrything Into consideration. It would beSa very large estimate to count 35,000 Dem ocratic votes for this law, leavingat loast' 33,000 1 RepubHcan vofpg in Its favor. - But again, some Democrats may have ;opposed the law, $nd some non-voting Republicans might favor it, -"so. the figures when an alysed a little show pretty conclu-t-ively that a large majority of Re publicans .are, for Statement No. 1 as a law. . .

HERE are plenty of things to encourage Portland people and keep them confident. .During the past fiscal year this city shipped abroad 15,600,000 bushejs 6f wheat, almost as much as was shipped by all the Puget sound ports combined. During the next year the amount of wheat for export from the Pacific Northwest-will not be as large as it was last year, but Port land will probably.ship a greater pro portion of Jt, owing to the comple tion to t,hl8 city of th north bank railroad, 'which will divert much wheat fromTacdma and Seattle to this city. ' Building permits for May and June this year amounted to alrpost as much in value as those of the cor responding months last year, when we almost, at the floodtide of busi ness activity and prosperity, showing that the results of the panic have about passed away, so far as Port land is concerned. Look ahead. Now is the time to make a stronger pull than ever for a much greater Portland. If We are doing "so well no w, what may we not be doing 1h the- near future, with moxe railroads, open and deeper rivers, a better harbor, cheaper transportation, more and greater in Little disappointments and set backs amount to nothing. Obstacles only serve to strengthen men. Port land has there to be thankful for to day1 than any city in the world. Not to Improve opportunities and .make -this city gnat and beautiful would show that we are supine lngrates to fortune. more. attractive. It has become to a great extent a science. People don't raise Justi same old routine of crops, m tne 01a napnazara way, out use their brains in farming, and brain-work mixed with manuaf work makes agriculture more attractive. The city mah may exaggerate the at tractions and minimize the burdens and annoyances of country life, 'just as the farmer may overestimate the advantages of city life, but after al lowing for this it jseems that a re flex movement, from the cities Into the country, is a natural one and one that should continue, especially as "homecroftlng" grows in favor. Commenting on Mr. Wilson's report, the Chicago Tribune says': Not ' only do the " farmers wrona; themselves when they flock to the city but they inflict a terrible Injury on fo ciety. Agriculture Is . paralyxed and the cities are glutted, impoverished and corrupted. When they have come to th city and make themselves and everybody else miserable they then pro pose as a remedy not n return to tne farm, but socialism. "Back to the farm" should be the Tvaitcfiword of Americans. It Is to be feared that sec retary Wilson is far too sanguine, but if "his - prognostication is correct.

He ha,s a good deal Of THE NEW VANCOUVER BRIDGE. FEES, LEGAL AND OTHERWISE. T S" TRICTLY speaking, the statutes prescribing fees for additional duties Imposed on certain state officers may have been uncon7 stltutlonal, but if so the constitu tion has been violated by all such of ficers for many yeflrs, by common consent of everybody. The supreme court judges are in suhstantially the same position as the former gover nors, secretaries 01 state :ana state treasurers. Nobody ever objected to dodging the strict letter of the con stitution a Utile In this way, for no body would do the work at the con stitutional salaries. But a large part of the emoluments of the latter two officers rest on a somewhat differ ent basis, not only being much great er but not being authorized by ex press statutes. Nobody reasonably blames the governors for taking the fees the laws provided, for In fact they were reasonable fees, and If the duties were well attended to were well earned, and the same is true of the secretaries of state and state treasurers, as to these statutory fees. 'n rpnRnnnhle and randld man w4nts them to refund any of this money. They were entitled to it In equity and In law, for the laws allow- ng the fees were never attaclted until now, and this attack is no doubt prompted by malice. But as to ?ees not specifically authorized by statute, the case may be different. That is for the courts to say, though we suppose that about 9 9 out of ion people would be In favor of letting bygones .be bygones, and holding these officers hereafter to a strict flat salary basis. HE new railroad to Portland, lo cally known as the north bank railroad, has just completed across the Columbia river, with Its northern end near Vancouver, the longest railroad bridge in the world, at a cost of approximately $2,000, 000. There was no celebration over the event, no last spike ceremonies, no noise or nonsense, only the sim ple announcement "the Vancouver bridge across the Columbia Is fin ished." Yet this Is a big and notable event In the transportation world, and especially for Portland. It vast ly increases this city's commercial opportunities, and releases it to some extent from the monopolistic grip that has dojie much for years to hold this city back and blight the state. ' Tfie bridge across the Willamette, and the short stretch pf road, con necting. .the two, will also be com pleted within a few weeks, and then perhaps we will have a ' celebration: There should be -one, that will, com pare favorably witlrthat other cele bration had here 25 years ago, on the completion of the first transcon tinental -road to Portlatfd.. This new line down the' north bank of the Columbia and across to Portland will add no little to the great work and fame of ,Mr. J. Jr Hill. It is in line with his whole career as a railroad builder, that of a1 developer. This road was. Indeed due years ago, and had t6 come, yet if Harriman could have kept his grip on both sides -of the Columbia .river we might have waited a decade yet for relief. And though Mr. Hill built It as a strictly business propo sition and because he needed it and could make it pay, and not to please Portland, this city owes him a big debt of gratitude and much good will. And r Hill may Invade Ore gon farther; we hope he will. All of which may be "a little an ticipatory; trains over the north bank- road are not running into Port land yet; but the completion of a J2, 000, 000 three-mile bridge,. that has been talked of and waited for those 20 years, alrqost In the out skirts of the city. Is no small occur rence in itself. Certainly a national plafform ought to have a good-roads plank; and it ought to be meant, too. A man attendant a church having a dull preacher, in the summer time, nev er complains of insomnia. ! By the wayhow peaceably our mayor and councilman are getting along these days. Have they really improved? ' In not being able to take a vacation at a beach, a young man may save hav ing his heart broken several times. The summer girl who looks' like an aneel, or as one supposes an angel would loote if visible, is., really very mortal. x . 4 -'.. How many curious oeople there are; several men actually seem to want to run for vice-president on the Democrat-, lc ticket. T - fincaker CannorH Is renorted to have. ald that he would do all that he could to help elect Taft. Then why doesn't he resign? . People who. know L. M. P. don't take him seriously. In doing flo, those who selected tbe Statement No. 1 ticket made a mistake. s BACK TO THE FARM. ECRETARY' of Agriculture Wil son finds from statistics gath ered for his department that the flow of country people to the city, which has been - In operation for 20 years or more,- has been checked, and that there are signs of a reaction, a reflex tide. This if cor rect Is a good sign, and indicates a movement that If continued Will be of Iminence benefit to the nation. While we. have prided ourselves on the growth of our titles, we have been prone to forget that cities Can not continue' to grow greatly and healthily, without a corresponding growth ot population and production in the country. For limited time'a elty may; for g;e ahead rapidly while the ' surrounding country, develops but little, but this cannot continue very, long. ; People are more willing to live In the .country now than they were a quarter of a century ago, more or less, because conditions; are- much better, now la the ; rural-distrlcta.

Strangers are numerous hereabouts. the Jefferson Review mostly people In search of hom.es, says Agrees With Ex-Governor Geer. Roseburg, Or., June 26. To . the jMittor or The Journal-! have real wnn consineraiua Interest. you edi torial comments upon tne stand taken by ex-Governor Geer regarding the maius oi tnnse voters calling them selves Republicans, who voted for .Chamberlain in the late election. -Th more I .have thought about the matter, the more I am convinced that .Governor eer is correct. There probRhly are ex ceptions to tn rule, nut the Republican! who voted for Chamberlain are Demo, rrHiB. tea. more, i helleve that a ma jority Of the Republican voters of this state are J'emocrats. The recant elec tion upon the amendments to the con stitution and the Mils voted upon by the initiative, certainly demonstrate' that a large majority of the voters of this state are Ietnocrats. I mean bv tto term Democrat, those voters who are In favor of the rule of the people. Such are Democrats In .the broadVst sense of the word. Such also, are Re publicans in the better sense of the word. Thomas, Jefferson upon whom we look as the father of the Demo cratic party, was called a Republican. Abraham Lincoln, who Is revered as the greatest of Republicans, was certainly a Democrat. , This is a time when no weJl defined line of difference can be noted between the two great parties of this country A large number of the voters allied with both parties are very independent, and care very little for the name, fio when the voters of this state chose Governor Chamberlain to represent them In the Lnited States senate, they did so be cause they are Democratic at heart. It i true mere are prooaoly a large num ber of voters who have great annfldence In the ahllttvRnrl tnterrltv Chamherlaln. and voted, for'hlm an per sonal grounns. But a great majority ?S th."

When thev assembled - In convention last spring, thos opposed 'to Statement No. 1, were In absolute control. So far as they acted at all, -they acted against the rlgnt or the people to select meir owfl 'Unrtlsa'Sta'tes'Benators Tmd enact laws of their Own choosing. The late national Republican conven Hon has . feorie on reeord as being op. posed., to the election of United States aenato'rs by dwect vote of the. people, and of practically all the Democratic measures recommended by President Roosevelt. William J. Bryan, Senator Iia Follette and other leaders of Democracy and Republicanism. There can be jio question that those in control ot, the national.. Republican convention were not Democrats and were not bucIi Republicans as was Abraham Lincoln, who was j democratic, and who did be lieve In the right and afbillty of the peo- tefc REALM ' file to act for ' themselves ana cnoose heir own representatives. . But some say that Mr. Taft;' the nom inee of the Republican party, is better and greater than his party. But the conduct of Mr. Taft upon these vital questions does not support "this state ment. When the modem constitution of the state of Oklahoma was submitted to the people for their approval or rejec tion, it was Mr. "Baft who went out of h hi .way to intermeddle with the local affairs of the people of that common wealth, nnd advised the voters to re ject the constitution, because that con stitution contained provisions for the initiative and referendum; and other pro visions for the proper protection of the people In thelu right to. govern. So, Mr. Tart , has gone on record against the very thlnarn for whteh the Orenon voters have contended very earnestly, , He has gone on record against the very things that the Oregon voters have shown by- a-larsre malorltv thev will have He ha placed himself unagulvo cally as opposed to .democracy In Its broadest sense, and to Republicanism as pri'achad. and practiced by Abraham Lincoln. I believe If the voters of this stata win seriously consider the situa tion and win exercise their free and tin trammeled! Judgment they will not vote for Mr. -Tarft-in the approaching election. for. w How to Keep Cool.

Not only is it well to. diminish the amount of red meats eaten, but even the usual tea and cof fee, and hot breads. ' If one will eat leguminous foods, lettuce, all fresh, vegetables and nuts, rice- and cheese, with an abundance of Ifrult. and drink plenty of water, he will get through the hot weather much more easily than one who makes no change from the winter diet. It will be necessary, in order So be comfortable, to wear loose clothing. Shoes that pinch, tight corsets, heavy hats, add bodily discomfort. This is not to say that it is a cheerful sight for the tired husband to come home and find his wife with her hair hanging down her back and her cotton kimono hanging m limp folds about her weary figure. But to dress comfortably with fresh, clean, summery clothes Is to keep in a state of mlna that contributes to health and Induces coolness. The. last and most Important of these easy rules is to keep your mind cool. Nobody Is going to be comfortable In hot weather who Is continually fretting about it, envying the people who have gone away, sighing over the Inadequate income whlh means being deprived of these things, and pitying himself be cause he has to work. No woman can be cool and comfortable through the hot days who falls into this habit of mind. -...' Tbe very best thing about many of our newer modes of thought is the dis covery of the tremendous effect the mind , has upon the body. Think hot thoughts of envy, disappointment, sor row, fretfulness. and vou will be hot and tired and distrusted. Think good cool thoughts of peacefulness. at love and Service, and you w ill be cool.

Tou can let him see th-t you care for him without being . foolishly fiftrvUmenfal. jyf ver Bay nuyiiniig un puller mm you feel you could have possible cause to regret. w Remember that men, even the Best of them, are careless about letters. Of course, no man with the slightest claim of belrlg a gentleman would ever show a woman's letter to annthR. man, or to any one. But, unfortunately. there are men. whose sense of honor Is not as keen as it might be, and such men are not to be trusted.
