It was tol erated because it was also some benefit, and because people . were careless. When Portland was ' a " straggling village in the woods, , the original railroad company was. - granted, a permit to use this street, which then skirted the back sido of the town. And as the city grew the railroad was still permitted to re , v main there, because the people w?re easy, and not strong enough to make the necessary fight for a . change. r But over a year ago the council de . A 'c la red that at the expiration of 18 . months the railroad rauat vacate the street. . The matter tad been j discussed a good deal and the rail ' road officers and attorneys, whllo claiming' that the corporation had a - " perpetual vested right to the use of ' the street, said that. a change to the ' east side would be made as soon as ml practicable. So a ear and a half was allowed for making the transfer, ' -which involved the building of a t bridge across the Willamette and the laying of a short stretch of new ' track. Some beginning was made, lut this, like all other railroad work .. In Oregon, was stopped last fall. It . r; is only about three and a hilf - months-till the time expires, and the ' railroad- corporation wants the tinio extended, of course. Then, as be T" fore. It will more or not, as suits Its good pleasure. If all It has to do to- , stay on r ourtn Btreet is to get its '.. time for moving extended whenever the previously prescribed period is ? about to expire, It can keep posses- slon of the street indefinitely. This method !l8 cheaper and easier than A proving its alleged vested rights and the validity of Its alleged perpetual franchise, which might be very tfif- ficult. It would seem that it is quite time that the city made it definite - and clear that it has some rights which that corporation is bound to respect, and that one of them is the right to the use and control of the - streets. The city has been exceed ' Ingly lenient and liberal with the Southern Pacific company in this matter. I It has permitted that corporation to use Fourth street for years longer than such use could hare been rea sonably asked, and that without a .dollar of remuneration. It has pa tiently submitted to this great and growing nuisance for nearly a gen eration. And then it has delayed ?, action on the promises of the corpor ation's officers that the street would Te vacated as soon as the change could be made. Yet, month after month passes and the corporation moves but slightly, If at all, In the matter. It seems to have become axiomatic that a railroad company's promises are not to be taken serl- ously at all; they are only made to be renewed as occasion requirps, not to be performed. ... -, But the panic last fall is the ex cuse. That panic la made to bear altogether too many excuse. Did this great corporation become so fi- . nancially hfird up that it could not build a bridge and lay two or three miles of track within a year and a half? Mr. Harrjman has in the . meantime taken quite a good many millions of dollars out of Oregon to spend otherwhere, but he cannot spare a few tens of thousands to f keep hlB promise to the pe'ople of of the writer.

Pf.ATT O.N HOW TO ELECT SEX ATOR, H' OW to elect senator, Is the sub ject of a late deliverance by Senator Piatt of New York. It has been deemed so val uable that It has been exploited In Oregon as a guide to our voters. The source of It Is what makes the contribution rare and Interesting. Piatt on ' How to Elect Senator" is. about as safe a guide as a- hoboe's view on how to Yun a rock pile The mighty senator thinks State ment No. 1 is bad. The land crook has a similar dislike for a federal court. The trouble with Piatt Is that Statement No. 1 Is a menace to him and his brand of statesmen. For many years he has been tha special agent in the United States senate for the Adams Express company. He Is one of the barriers to the parcels post, because his express company wants the business. He was one of the barriers to the many good meas ures President Roosevelt vainly begged congress to pass at the late session, and tor which the people knocked futilely at the doors of that body for six shameful months, an episode constituting one of the most extraordinary spectacles in Amer ican political Jlfe. He is one of the men who, under the leadership of Aldrich, converts the United States senate into a place where what the people ask for is denied, and what the money changers require is grant ed. Is not the late denial by that body of practically all legislation that President Rooseveltrbegged for, the proof? Statement No. 1 JmperHs Mr. Piatt. If, through Statement No. 1, or otherwise, the pepple of New York could once get a chance to elect their senator by direct vote, Mr. Piatt, as a senator, would be put out at commission In the twinkling of an eye. So would Mr. Aldrich. So would Elkins. So would all the rest of the trust-tarred statesmen, and not one of them would ever get back into the senate. Why shouldn't they think It bad? STKOXG SUPPORT FOR BRYAN T Portland and abate this nuisance of snore than 25 years' duration. We are Indeed a patient, long-suffering people. The council should not ex tend the time unless the railroad fclvea some sort of security that any 1 rew promise made will be kept. The company should be required to give a bond, with a forfeiture of so much a day to the city for every day be yond th date fixed, that it" will then hare removes its treffie from Fourth streets , becUea that, no rights n- der throld permit should be recog nixed. If that corporation wants to use rourth street after transferring - most of ita heavy .traffic across the ' river. It should be permitted to do m only under-a new franchise, and ca auch terras" the city may I tri pos. Rather than yield oa this point, tha city should take the case to tha klgbetrt court of tha Ian HE announcement of Mr. Her man Ridder that he and his newspaper, the New York Staats-Zeitung, will cordially support Bryan this time, is elg nificant, and must be "especially gratifying to the candidate and his friends. The Staats-Zeltun is. perhaps, the most influential newspaper in the country. It read and believed in by a vast num ber of German-Americans in Xew York and throughout the country While formerly Democratic, as a rule, it went over to the Republican side on the money question In 1896 and has since supported the Repub lican nominees for president. Mr Ridder was opposed to Mr. Bryan's nomination, not because he objected to Mr. Bryan now, but because he thought some othei candidate would be stronger especially in New York. But Bryan having been .nominated, Mr. Ridder lost no time In advising him of his support. The cause of this change of base on the part of this peculiarly influ ential newspaper is principally the Republican party's record and attl tude on the tariff. Mr. Ridder was the spokesman of the newspaper union in behalf of free print paper and wood pulp, and not only knows how congress turned that reform measure down, but has no faith whatever In the professions aua ino- tions which the Republican leaders are making in the nlatter of tariff revision. Mr. Ridder knows that no Republican congress, unless It be one radically different from any past congress of that party, will enact any genuine and reformatory revis ion of the tariff; hence, he will sup port Bryan and urge the election of a Democratic or tariff-reform con gress. There are other reasons, no doubt, why Mr. Ridder aail' many German Americans who supported McKinley and Roosevelt will now support Bryan, and that they will do so shows that he is no longer feared on account of his former views on the money question. That is now a past and dead issue, and whether Bryan was right or wrong is not very important. He is right on the live, pressing questions of the pres- lent; hence, tne powenui oiama iZeltung will support him. as it sup ported Grover Cleveland in 1892. It Is an eminently conservative pa per, but is no longer afraid of the radicalism of Bryan. Roosevelt to aecura legislation that he persistently advocated shows how limited the president's power is In thli re"spct. . .- 4 'Tht most Important requisite In president." says Mr. Bryan, a lu A, 1 m m . a '. oinur ojuciais, is that sympathy shall br, with, tha whole people rath er (ban with any fraction of the population. He Is constantly called upon to act In tha capacity of a Judge deciding between the Impor tunities of those who seek favors and the rights ard Interests of the public, ' Unless bis sympathies are right, the few are- sure to have an advantage over the many, for the masses have no one to present their claims. Tftey.nart only at elections and must trust to their represents tives to protect them from all the! foes." This well illustrates Mr. Bryan' paramount political idea and pur pose service of all the people rath er than of a part of them, seeking the good of the many rather than of the few, equal rights and oppor tunlties and no special privileges or favors. It certainly ought to be reasonable to suppose that at no very distant time a majority of the people will come to the support of this Idea, and of honest and able me.n who seek to carry It Into exe cution. "The presidency," says Mr. Bry an, "is the highest position in the world and Its occupancy Is an Impor tant factor In all national matters. If he Is a devout believer In our the ory of government, recognizes the constitutional distribution of pow ers, trusts thoroughly in the people and full sympathizes with them In their aspirations and hopes, he has an opportunity to do a splendid work. . He occupies a vantage ground jfrom which he can exert a wholesome, influence in favor of each forward movement." It is always "the people" with Bryan; not this ofr that portion or class or element, but the too-often forgotten and but slightly repre sented masses. If the big organized, combined "interests" of all sorts In cline In one direction in a cam paign, might It not be well for the unorganized masses to move gen erally In the other direction and get some friends of theirs at court?

Mr. Cortelyov, says the $5 7,000,- 000 apparent treasury deficit is not a real deficit. This is quite pleas ant information.

The city should stand and act on tha proposition that the Southern Pacific railroad haa no prescriptive and perma nent right to Fourth street and that.lt is there only on sufferance. Now rumors are spread about what Taft will say In his speech of acceptance, but these are probably all based on imagination. It is not likely that Mr. Taft will allow the public to know what he Is going to say, thougn some pretty cioie guesses may be made. r Secretary Garfield likes Oregon better every time he visits It, whath a common experience, and Ore gon people who meet him return the ompliment. It is well for Oregon that a man in his position should now and like the state. A majority of the Portland city council seems to be taking about the ight attitude on fhe Fourth street railroad matter. It Is certainly time to bring the S. P. company.
