Barry. .Bfc KO OCCASION FOR GRUMIiLING A GROWLING, prouchy tone emanates from a certain journalistic shop In Port land over the prospective Issue of over $5,000,000 of bonds for various Important public pur poses. The only thing that seems to be considered In that quarter is that these bonds will Increase the city Indebtedness and the interest fcurden. What the money to be procured will accomplish for the ad vancement, development and en rlchment of the city seems to be considered unworthy of notice. The Journal has no sympathy nrlth this tone or the spirit which prompts It. It would be very nice, Indeed, if Portland could get all the things It needs without cost. r would seem so, though this would not be advantageous, for there is BO genuine, permanent improvement nd advancement without cost and self-sacrifice. Either Portland needs these things for which these expenditures are to be made, or it does not. If it needs them, and the people have decided that it does, the only way to get them is to borrow money on bonds. Raising the money by pres ent taxation would be both imprac ticable and impolitic, and besides auld be unjust. The people of the future, greater city ought to help pay for these things, that will be a permanent, enduring benefit. A further Indebtedness of ?5,- 000,000 or $6,000,000 is nothing to be scared at or to growl about, pro Tiding the money is honestly and ju diciously expended for important and urgently necessary things. Be fore these bonds become due Port land will be a city of over 400,000 inhabitants, and every year there will be many more people and much more property to pay the interest. ... . The Journal agrees with the ma jority of the people that the things proposed to be acquired and done are wise and necessary, and will be well worth the price. It believes that there is need of another Bull Run pipe line, of a new bridge, of municipal docks, of more park grounds, and of the other things voted for, and also, in the near fu ture, of a new courthouse and a new city Jail; and that the money ex pended In these ways will be well invested and that the additional bur den will be easily and cheerfully borne. It will not be necessary to issue all these bonds and incur all this ih debtedness at once, nor perhaps Within a year or two. But it is nec essary to be able to move forward in the attainment of these things as soon and as fast as is practicable and advantageous. There Is no oc casion for grumbling or pessimism. It is a time for everybody to pull to gether for advancement, for greater and better growth. The city has no use for a grumbler and knocker. IIKltK seems nothing In the Denver "Injunction plank" to which any reasonable person can take objection. ThPre is n needless declaration of faith in the courts nnd absence of intent to at tack the "Integrity" of the courts needless because criticism of the wholesale use of the injunction pro cess in labor disputes needs no apol ogy and is not an attack on the "In tegrity" of the courts. The courts may have gone too far in issuing in junctions in labor cases without los ing their "Integrity." All the talk about the courts having been "at tacked" emanates from trust attor neys, and is an effort to divert at tention from the real matter in Is sue. The meat of the Penver dec laration is contained in the follow ing language: "Questions of Judicial practice have arisen especially In connection with In dustrial disputes. We deem that the parties to all Judicial proceedings should he treated with rigid Impartiality, and that Injunctions should not he Issued In any caes In which Injunctions would not Issue If no Industrial dispute were Involved." Mr. Gompers says this is entirely satisfactory to him, as the. head of organized labor, is all that was asked, and we cannot pee why it should not be satisfactory to every body who favors justice and a square, deal between all men. Why should Injunctions issue against organized workingmen, when un der like circumstances ' they would not be issued in any other cases, against organized capital, for instance? It is simply a declaration of Impartiality, which the Chicago convention would not make. No special interest is to be regarded In the issuance of injunctions. Isn't this right? Why should so great a furore' nave been made over so manifestly just and fair a proposi tion? Every section in which Mr. Hill has built railroads has profited by his work. He has made money through Kreat energy and far-sightedness and deserves hla success. He has been a pioneer, and Is thoroughly western In his sentiments. He has bo:n a creator and his roads repre sent his on work, not the thought, aspirations and work of others. It Is fitting that Portland will cele brute the opening of this road. Whatever Is done here In this connec tion should be worthy of the oc caslon, and the whole cltv should participate In It. Let Mr. Hill and his associates be made to feel that they are among friends and admirers who appreciate what the building of this line means to Portland, to Ore gon and the1 great Oregon country.

No money at all is to be accepted from corporations; not more than $10,000 will be accepted from any person or firm; and all amounts over $100 and their sources will bo published, so that, everybody will know just where the campaign fund comes from. This Is an important reform, and Is in sharp contrast with methods hitherto used In securing campaign funds. President Roosevelt and Candidate Taft have both declared In favor of this policy of publicity, but the last congress refused to pass any measure requiring it to be put Into execution, and since his nomi nation, Mr. Taft has remained sil ent on the subject. Will he and his campaign manager, Mr. Hitch cock, adopt this method and take the people into their confidence? 13 the Republican party, as well as the Democratic party, willing to submit its cause to the people without the use of corporation and trust cam paign funds? If not, why not? It is Mr. Hitchcock's turn to speak up HOMAS J. O'BRIEN, the Amer lean ambassador to Japan who has Just arrived In this country on a vacation, gives further testimony in support of the Lextreme improbability of war be tween the two countries. He savs that during the time, nearly a year, that he has been In Japan, he "has never seen the slightest sign of Ill feeling toward America, or Ameri cans. It is absurd to think that Ja pan wants war with this country. Nothing is farther from the mind of its people. I believe Japan is sin cerely trying to enforce the restric tion of emigration to America and thus remove any cause for friction on that question." Such statements from such a source are entitled to more credence and respect than all the sensational jingoism that Hobson can utter In a year. Of course Japan wants no war with the United States, and Is in no condition to go to war with this country if it did, and the rav ines of Hobson ought to be frowned upon by all people to whom he ad dresses them. The New York World j correctly says that what he said in the Denver convention is "sheer balderdash," which would deserve no attention except from his posi yon as a member of congress, and his representations concerning the fears of the president, which nobody believes. Ambassador O'Brien only con firms reports made recently by other reliable persons, particularly by Mr. Taft, who should understand the situation as well as anyone, and whose testimony will be regarded as thoroughly reliable. Hobson has become a national bore. 4 A real ticceaafiil crop failure win never pulled off In. Oregon yet and never win ue.

Like crooked Kepuli llcans. they commit crimes In the name and under the banner of their party or ganization. And aiway they plead their loyalty and their regularity aa their jus tlflcatlon. The cme exception Is Ouffey. Ills entire leadershlD of the Pennsylvania Democracy has been subject to the standing charge of continuous and un- aeviating treachery to his own party. And to that charge he virtually pleaded guilty In Denver. For when arraigned by the supreme council of the party, he was unable to point to a single Instance of effective party service or to an ac complishment of any kind the citing of wnich would navo served to con round his accusers. The Democrats In convention were confronted with an extraordinary ense, one for which there wan no precedent. But since the highest council of a party Is the party's lawmaker, they found a wav to meet the emergency. The indictment against Ouffey and his trading allies, presented In detail to the committee on credentials, could leave no doubt In the mind of nnv un prejudiced man concerning the continu ous treachery of Ouffey toward the party In the past. Those judges already knew about Ouffey. They knew already of Penn sylvania's political scandal. The mere reading of the Indictment nnd tU total lack of any substantial defense wore sufficient. They were not excessively particular about .demanding proof of the charges, which could have been fur nished In ample quantities, had the dc mandbeen made. It was Bryan's fight of course, for I Bryan knew, better than Derhaps an other man outside, thla stale, the nature ana extent or uuriey trvaohery. li knew not by herusay. He had been on the ground and needed no report at soc ond hand, Hla acquaintance with men anu arrair in Pennsylvania caused, him to reach the decision to purgo the party of Ouffey at any cost Therefore, ho did a .most unusual thing, by declaring In advance that Ouffey'a continued presence In the na' tlnnul committee would ba an embar rassment to him throughout the cam palgn. He knew that the reelection of Ouffev would be the placing of a traitor In Ihe Inner councils of the party the submission or every. secret to a toot or Bianaaru un, . To Bryan's opposition undoubtedly was due the overthrow of Ouffey. But we do not believe that Mr. Bryan was actuated mainly bv a desire "play politics" In this matter. He' thought the elimination of-Ouffey necessary for me good or tne party. Hut our nener is that political decency rather than par tisan advantage was ins principal aim. Whatever may have been Mr. Bryan's motives, however, In our opinion, noth ing that' has been or may be done at Denver will prove more helpful to hla cause In every state throughout the nation than this branding and condem nation of Ourrey. The choice of James Kerr aa his SUO' cessor Is distinctively a victory for de- cency. Not only does it give to loyal and honest Democrats cause for rejoic ing, but It arrords to loyal and honest Republicans almost an equal reason for gruntuae. , Mr. Kerr Is a representative business man. able and In every respect reput able, the possessor or right Ideas ana good Ideals. He Is a thorough Demo crat, a good fighter and a square man. Pennsylvanha has reached Its present level of civic shame largely because the state has had no respectable and effec tive minority party organisation In re- 'ent years. Evils have multiplied, main ly because the Democratic party In this state has been made a corrupt adjunct, contemptible side show or the Re publican organization. The downfall or ourrey and tne ele vation of Kerr now mean the dawning of a better day for the Democracy of Pennsvl vanla. provided that the party baa not been so long debauched aa to make regeneration Impossible. in tne same measure as mis augury of good will Inspire honorable Demo- rats so will it instill nope into tne hearts of Independent Republicans. The great preponderance of the Repub lican vote in the state, we believe, is frnvlded by thoroughly honest citizens, bit these have come to regard as futile any effort to alter for the better any vicious political conditions, because both Republican and Democratic organiza tions were dominated bv the same in terests and the same men. The. overthrow of Ouffey may mean In i the end a blessing to botli parties, by providing the long desired weapon for rebuke ond reform In local and state affairs REALM -FEMININE N' A Strong Ticket From tho Cincinnati Enquirer. The Democratic party has donned its fighting clothes. It scents victory in the air of 1908. It has chosen twi cnpable gladiators to lead the fight. The thunderous demonstrations at Den ver differed from those of other years In that they were Inspired by harmony and not by strife. The outbursts of enthusiasm were not of the sort manu factured to stampede the delegates to or from any man. They testified rather to the revival of hope, the d!seardlnn of differences that had rent the party hopelessly asunder, and to the deep rooted virility of Democracy. Mr. Rrvan Is at the very flool-tlde rlage license because she gave her age f -of physical strength and mental vigor Nature knows neither religion nor politics except as she shows forth God's marvelous handiwork and pro vides mankind with the raw mate rial of livelihood and comfort. She recognizes no Sabbath as a restday. and treats the G. O. P. elephant and the Democratic as3 impartially. Crops will grow just the same under either Taft or Bryan. There are indications that there will be more really doubtful states as the campaign progresses than there have been since 1892, or at least since 1896. There is, to begin with, a very large uncertain vote, that for years past has been surely Republican. as 30 when in fact she was ho. But when did It become Illegal anywhere for a woman to make a little- misrepresen tation like this about her age? And since she was going to be married, per haps she felt as if she were only 30. COMPLETION OF A GRET WORK T HE completion of the north bank road will mirk an epoch In the comnurcial develop ment of Portland. Its impor tance is but faintly realized as yet. It places this city in direct commun ication with the cattle-producing section of Montana. Without it Swift's packing p!ant would have been impossible. The trade of a.l of eastern Washington and even part of Canada will be naturally tribu tary to this cUy. The lines of the grfat systems of which the north bank road is a part put us in direct touch with an enormous section of the country. It is a competing through line. It will necessarily have its feeders and branches within this state. It was built on business principles and for business. First cost was not considered In Its con struction, and it is probably the cost liest line of single track In the United States. Its level track, easy grades and curveless lice arex evi dences of en intention to handle freight and lots of It. Great ware houses, modern freight houses, built to care for great traffic, plainly in dicate the policy of the builders. AboTe all, that master of railroad transportation. James J.

"There never has been a satis factory explanation of the low prices of western wool prevailing this sea son, " remarks the East Oregonian. Might not the possibility of Bryan's election be the real explanation? Also of the unusually dry season up there? Whoever shall be chosen as the Democratic campaign manage, he will probably not be long In finding out jthat it U Bryan rather than he who Is the real boss of the campaign. Salem will expert a big delega tion from Portland tomorrow, and should not be disappointed. A greater degree of nelghborllness is to be desired. The Walla Walla election may Jbe a very small straw, but it seems to be a. significant one. The railroads, If they persist In raising rates, may help very materi ally to elect Bryan.

To the Edi tor of The Journal In the Oregon Dally Journal of last Monday, July 13, you published the main substance of a ser mon of Dr. Dyott, In which he denies eternal punishment for the wicked.

She Insisted on his taking a pinch of the salt and throwing it over his uhoulder. When ne oisrobed lor the night she discovered that she had been wearing one slocking wrong side out all day.

Indiana is still regarded as a battleground In presidential elections, and no man Is better flttnd to win th suffrages of this doubtful stats than Mr. Kern.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. For the first time In 24 years the Democratic party has turned to Indiana for a candidate on its national ticket Not slnco the nomination of Thomas A Hendricks for vice-president In 1884 has the Hoosler state been called upon for a standard bearer. in the lll-starrei campaign of 1S80. William H. English went down to defeat with Wenerai Win field 8cott Hancock, while feur years ;ater Hendricks was elected to the chair which was vacated by Democracy at the close of Buchanan's administra tion. During this same period the Re- ubllcan party nominated and elected enjamln Harrison U the presidency In 1 RSS. who was dnrnleJ for reelection In 1892 by OroveT Clevelsnd. In 1S04 Charles W. Fairbanks was nominated for tho vice-presidency and elected. The nomination by the Democrats of John W. Kern of Indianapolis for the vice- presidency at Denver shows apparently that the leaders again regard Indiana as fighting ground. It may ba that the delegates were persuaded that there s luck In an Indiana candidate. Inas much aa only one candidate of either party rmm that state in more man a quarter of a century went down to defeat. X tm of Filler's Earth. It's Very Queer.

Ono of them, and not the least of them, is worry. Everyone advises everyone else never to worry. Few persons tfike tho advice, except those who frould not worry If the world were coming to an end tomorrow and they had murdered their brothers vesterdav. Tho president of a "Don't Worry" club in iWW 1 ork committed suicide the otner aay. The incident is the subject of no little humorous comment, but It was pure tragedy. What Is more pa thetic than the self-destruction of a man who had promised himself and his friends that he would never let worry get a grip upon his mind? The tnle. of tho ending of his life points a moral.

The Voice of the OiH?n. OW la th time of tho year when the lur of th open becomes moat potent. Day by day w walk the streets of the city, and night by night as w catch be tween housetop glimpses of far-off starry spaces, the sound of th -wind In the tree of th forest com to mind and the memory of shaded green places haunt us. pur spirits cry for releaae, not o mUch from the dally task as from man made surroundings, and we long for th woods, the hill und th pleasant meadow. Tner are tnose wno us to can tnis lur of the open, atavism, which 1 a neat and indefinite, term, standing vari ously for the reversion to typ of tha smf-educated Indlun, the burking back to ancestral traits of the child or the puppy or the migratory Instinct, Inher ited from noinudlc ancestors. Ho the passion within us for wood and sea, for Wide reaches and sunlit lio rlxons, they would call only a stirring of hulf-obilterated memories, and up heaval within our breasts of th primal Instinct for quiet and shelter of the pursued animal-man, a homing In stinct, not quite dead, In men concerned with progress ana invention, derived from earliest ancestry. But this explanation seems shallow and Insufficient when we put aside our tools and our playthings and sink our restlessness In the peace and quiet of nature. The hold that It has on animal na ture seem quite Inadequate to account for the hold It has on us, ' For It 1 not the animal within ua that I aroued nor placated nor appealed to In any way n this wide vision or beauty ana ini harmony of silences. Rather It appeals to tn better pan of us, the- part that In ordinary Inter course with our fellows beoamea atro phied, the part that neither struggle for supremacy nor desires gain, nor 1 concerned with market report, nor with the ceaseless warfare witn passions. This Is the secret hold It has upon a. that It lulls to sleep the baser Bid of us ajid lets the real man forth. The appeal to each one who recognise this truth Is Instant and real. It be comes a voice crying to nis spiru m tha wilderness, not that man forako sin, but that he live his real life; not asking the negation of what is base, but the actuality ol the good; not speaking in terms of warfare, but In the terms uf a perfect truce. Thus and so, we feel, was man meant to live; himself a unit in the eternal scheme of things. Then the vacation tlm eecames a festival nf roiiI. when the spirit of man comes out Into a wider realm, greater than space, and knows himself a part of an eternity longer than time and wider than love.

After his graduation he became school teacher and .for a time he oc cupied pastorate of the Methodist Kplsccpal church. In 188 he became principal of the Epworth aemlnsry at Epwoith, Iowa, and h filled that posi tion for nearly ten year. In 1897 he was chosen president of Mornlnrslde college at Sioux City, Iowa During the en reara and more that he continued n th presidency he established hi reputation among the foremost educat ors In the middle west. His success in building up Mnrnlngstde college was directly responsible for hi being elected a bishop of the church at th Baltimore conference. Quite other Is the claim of the city. It appeals to our admiration for it size, for its Inventions, for Its power, for its material advantages. But we cannot but feel that we hear all too much In these days of the power of wealth, and of commerce, and of the utilitarian arts. "Let us have poorer cotton and better men," ald Emerson, miMn. th thnucht that the drudgery of toll, the too laborious sacrifice of a man to his own material wants, dwarf the soul and narrows lire. The man In us Is stifled: his ears dimmed to the voice of his soul by over much clatter and whirr of wheels and saws; his eves blinded to the verities of Ufa hv the Rmnke of the fires of indus try and the false glitter of gilded tow ers He needs to come out from the mnri nnri the furnaces and from the ma chines, Rll man-made, and listen to the voice of the eternal speaking to his soul. . For there Is something, larger in na ture than man. If we attempt to cau man the perfection of nature's building, the highest pinnacle of her wonderful nrncenses. we cannot but see that fop rtiturn of force that has gone to his making the result Is pitifully weak and fragile. Even great men do not content us. They are great In only one direction. They have arrived at their greatness by the sacrifice of .ill others powers, as a florist produces on.j extraordinary rose by pinching oft all the other buds. The greatest books of the greatest men do not satisfy us. They promise to plunge to the heart of the universe, read us th riddle of time and eternity and then they make but a shallow cut nnd leave us, hungering. No, if a ma n Is the whole result of this magnificent expenditure of force, he Is a sorry prod uct and the whole process but a moun tain travail whence Issues the mouse. We must admit that there" Is some thing more to be than has been. The .v. .. r. .. nt evnlntlon.. cosmic na ture groaning and travailing together in spirit until now, is not jet ceasing The something within us that reaches hss . it. full content. There is always the hope of a greater man. a fuller prophet, a "earr Pg1? to the God-like than the world of men has yet produced. And In this thought. whlci we cannot escape, when the fool ishness of man's inventions and the noise of his petty strife Is shut put. we come to a realisation of man s one ness with nature and with nature a God And this is the Vision that we pant for, the satisfaction that we long for. and that man-made surroundings can- nTh?sVs the thing that we go tfftdty forth to grasp.
