T O SOME people it may not un- reasonablyseern that The Jour nal uses too much editorial space In analyzing and criticis ing statements of the Oregonian, that the Portland morning paper la made-the subject of too mufii com ment. But The Journal is placed in a rather peculiar position, for in scarcelyany other city in the United States lsthere a newspaper of stand lng and large circulation that so habitually and persistently misrepre Bents and distorts facts as does the Oregonian. It prints statements fre quently abouat public men and af " fairs that are not merely distortions of truth, but Chat are absolutely and wholly untrue, and that unless cor rected might be-believed by some of Its unwary readers. Its Illogical rea soning and its sophistical arguments The Journal generally passes by without notice, btt bare, bald, utter, falsehoods this paper feels in duty bound frequently to dispute. For example, yestenday the Ore gonian said that Mr. Bryan stands precisely now where he did, and for all that he did, in 1896 and 1901). , It says: "He intends that, if he shall be elected, the election shaH in elude an unqualified, indorsement of all the principles for which he stood in the two previous campaigns, and in which he was the candidate of his party. He so proclaims inaunmistak able terms." , Then the Oregonian quotes a little portion of Mr. Aryan's acceptance address, but with characteristic dis ionesty and trickery to its readers does not quote Mr. Bryan's language on that occasion In which he said, at the very outset of his address, that if elected president he would be bound by not only what the platform ex pressed but by what it omitted. He declared that he would carry out what the platform declared for, but would not attempt to do what the platform did not declare for. Every prominent newspaper In the country regarded these words as particularly significant, and as meaning that Mr. Bryan as president not only would not in any manner revive the free coinage of silver question, nor sev eral other things that he considered important In 1S96 nnd 1900. bur that he would not strive for govern ment ownership of railroads or the Initiative and referendum as a na tional policy. He did not say that he was wrong, under the circumstances then existing, in iS96 or in nn, nor thnt he does not yet personally believe In government ownership and the initiative and referendum, but he said that as president he would not try to erf. c; these charges, because he h ;i no com mission from the lenr ra'ir parly to do so. And as 1' is supposed that K OOl'ItSK the people of Ore gon will he greatly pleased with Mr. llarrluian If he pro ceeds without delay to build a railroad into central Oregon, and this will naturally and properly ln clli.e the people of this state to be more friendly toward him than they have been; 'nit It Isnot to he for gotten that other roadH besides that promised are urgently needed, auJ have been too long deferred. Oue of them Is the road to Coos bay, ami another is the road to Tillamook. These are not new projects; they are roads long ago projected, and prom ised, and that tens of thousands of people have hoped for, and the build ing of which ere now they have re lied upon. It Is not rltfht treatment of these people, nor of Oregon, since these roads are In his territory, for Mr. Harriman to delay their building longer. That they will be profitable nobody can doubt, hence the people are not asking Mr. Harriman to risk .anything in building them. We all know, too, that he has made a great deal of "velvet" out of Oregon during the last 10 years, enough to build all these roads. Thar, money in a sense belongs to Oregon; Mr. Harriman Is a trustee of it. He ought to Invest it here, or at least a large portion of It. While In clined to appreciate fully and in a friendly spirit every move he manes to develop Oregon, we do not forget that he already has a great deal of our money and is annually getting a good deal more, and that his rates are pretty high. So, as Governor Chamberlain said at Coos bay, and as has been repeat edly said by The Journal, if Mr. Har riman does not keep on going ahead and giving' Oregon what she de serves, the people must take the matter up and help themselves. They can tax, and more than that, if it comes to a last resort, they can build railroads themselves. Heretofore Mr. Harriman has been the big fig ure and Oregon the little one, but Oregon has grown, and is bound to grow, and it is big enough even now in case of emergency to grapplo with Mr. Harriman. R' THE VERY GOOI RAILROADS. t: HE Iron Trade Review says: That a flay of better principles nnd practices, a day of greater re tect for law and public opinion Is riawnlnjr in the business world is shown In many ways, and particularly at the present time by the manner In which thn readjustment of railroad rates is bring carried out. Railroad in terests are not only showing- a determl nation to conform to the laws of the nation and the states, but are also seek lng the advice of shippers and business men In general, to an unprecedented ex tent. In some cases, after thorough consideration, new rates have been an nounced, and they are so reasonable that shippers have not protested. Among other manufacturers who have been a fected by the new rates, are makers of Iron and steel products, who have cheer fully concurred, although recent decis ions to advance freight rates or In crease minimum carloads will cost them many thousands of dollars. The Review goes on to approve heartily Mr. Ilanlman's recent statement that the American people ought to be willing to pay the rail roads "a proper compensation for a proper transportation service, such a service as they are now performing and for which they are not receiving an adequate return." and to repeat Its compliment to the railroads for "their present puiii .f showing re spect for the law mn for (he advice of shippers." All this has a rri'lier suspicious sound. It reads lik" conked stuff ILWAY tragedian liko thut near Eugene Sunday night are of the unusual and not always avoidable. It is a character of accident for which the railroad com pany is scarcely censurable. It is the ghastly death roll incident to ac cidents from spreading rails, inade quate equipment over crowded tracks, and other preventable causes that expose the railroads to criticism that is mostly deserved. The hap less victims of wreckB in this country In the year 1906 numbered 10,618 killed, and 97,706 injured. For the 10 years ending In 1906, the roll of killed and maimed reached the ap palling aggregate of 85,534 killed, nnd 633,96 injured. It is a rail ruad death rate far exceeding that of England and other foreign countries. To this enormous total, the spreading of rails is a large contrib utory cause, and this leads a writer In the Scientific American to point out that the same old spike that was used in the experimental stage of railroad construction still does duty in binding the rails to the ties. It 1b a wrought iron spike, five eighths of an inch square, and five and one half inches long with a projecting head that clamps the railajWhen driven Into the tie... It was crude In the beginning, and is crude stilt. Its original function was to hold the. rail for a six to 20-ton locomotive and light equipment, but with no im provement whatever It is depended upon to stand the strain of passing locomotives and equipment beside which the original ones are mere toys. It was long ago rejected In France and England for a scrow spike, for which the claim is made that it has vastly reduced the num ber of railroad tragedies Incident to spreading rails. That this simple driven spike crude in the beginning and cruder in comparison now, should be the only device standing between death and the 797,000,000 passengers carried on American roads in 1906, is a seeming mighty indictment of railroad brains and en gineering. Is it still used because, like human life, it is cheap?

It must be admitted that there are exceptional circumstances and oc casions which Justify the carrying of a revolver. A stage driver through an unsettled country may have use for a revolver, and even an adult, careful passenger may find one use fulthough a traveler on such an occasion seldom over does make good use of It.

Pendleton. Or., Aug. 25. To the Ed ltor of I he Journal-I would not notice tno letter or your Pendleton corre spondent relating to an editorial In the i i miM-ion i riDune ir It had at all repre sented what I said therein, hut since ha (iocs not i ueaire to eay a word. i ne writer rererred to saya: "T. T. Oeor, In his paper, the Pendleton Tribune, urns Statement No. 1 Republican members of the legislature to realgn rather than ote for George E. Chamberlain, a Democrat, for Unfied States nenatnr. after the people of Oregon have, by a nmjuriiy ui o,uiu votes instructed the .egislature t ratify the people's choice for nenator." ut not a word- oocurred in the edi torial referred to "urging Statement No. 1 Republicans to resign rather than vote for Chamberlain." The declaration of tho Tribune was Intentionally twisted for purposes of misrepresentation. This h vvimi was said, In part: "To I he suggestion which has been made In some quarters that several He- ihmiiii-.iii uieinuers or me legislature wtio subscribed to Statement No. 1. and who regret exceedingly the apparent dutv therefore, of voting for a Democratic nited .states senator, could extricate liemselves by resigning their positions, the Democratic, papers say sucli step ouia not ne taken snort or dishonor. "Without advising anv such member as to wnac he should do. the Tribune deslrcH to remark that why such course would ne uisnonorabie in the slightest degree does not appear either on the surface or after careful examination. In any event. Republican members who " desire can resign without In anv way violating the essence of Statement No. 1. Since there has been a question as to methods employed by the Demo crats In the primaries, the very best way to settle the matter would be to take a new vote in November as to Mich members as desire to resign, if there ore any, and let the people decide after all phases of the situation have Ifeen exhaustively discussed, as they .have been. i nis would be no attack upon or evasion of Statement No. 1. On the contrary, It would rather be a fairer and more unbiased test of that principle than was had five months previously. "Now, It Is known that Chamberlain Is tho Democratic nominee, and If the people vote on the question again, know ing Just what it would mean there would" be a much moe direct expresslolr or meir wishes as to a. Democratic I'nited States senator thajji was had Jn June. f "Statement No. 1 would be preserved Intact, the people would give a later ex pression, and, therefore, one more direct In Its genuineness, and all the questions which have been discussed since the June election satisfactorily cleared up. "So, If any Republican member de sires to resign afld refer the matter di rect to tho people, why ehould not such course be entirely within the bounds of absolute honesty and fairness?'' You will thus see that I did not urge any Republican to resign nis position; the only thing said was that If there are those who 'feel so disposed their Inclination run be followed without dis honor, for tho reason, plainly stated, that the opportunity ia given the peo ple to again express themeetves accord ing to every requirement of State ment No. 1, and at a time when the question has been more fully discussed than It had been at the time of the June election. Also, that since there has been so much talk as to the part .the Democrats took In the matter of mak ing Republican nomlnattona. It could be settled by another election and the voice of the people more directly as- cured and without expense, practlcqHr. since thure will be an election AntkA In November. T V' 3i Bui nowhere was any Republt :inn urgea to ao tnia, tne position - ta en being that if there are such Rejttttt llcans they can follow their inclination with perfect honor, for the reason, es pecially, thnt it would refer the matter to the people and get their latest ex pression on Mie senatorial question. Of course, I am aware that this sug gestion will not meet with the approval of The Journal, ngr of such Repub licans as actually prefer a Democratic I'nited States senator to a Republican, nnd who do not for that reason want the people to have another turn at the question for fear that what, the Demo crats have gained might be lost; but such course would give Statoment No. 1 its very fullest expression, and "if there are such Republican members who would rather resign than vote for a Democrat for I'nited States senator,"" their Inclination may be Tollowed with out dishonor, for the reason given, tliat it would irlve the people an opportunity to give expression to their most mature conclusion. It is plain, therefore that "the tall of the scorpion" got in its chief work when It suggested to your correspondent In Monday's Issue to misrepresent what I said for the purpose of ridding itself of a little surplus venom. T. T. GEER. lhe RLALM FtMININE. A Pun for the Hoys. Portland, Aug. 24. To the Editor of The journal. I see the bolting, scratch ing, so-called Fulton Rriuhlli'ns are still bellyaching over the situation of tne party in uretron. Thev are tho last ones wno nave a right to complain. inev orougeat tne present situation into being, all by themselves. Nobodv eice is in omzzm. First, Fulton, by his course In con gress. disgraced himself and eliminated tne bulk of the party by so doing. Then, to recover lost gtpund, he and his followers, in a good iruinv slv wavs encouraged Cake to run for senator. In the belief that Fulton could beat Cake easier than he could a stronger man. But weak as Cake was he beat Fulton. Fulton's friends in censequence of Cake's nomination, were bound In all fairness and decency to support him In June. But they didn't do It. Thev knifed him, and supported Chamberlain. It was a dastardly trick, but thev did It, and to cover up their dishonor they biarne Democrats with .registering as Republicans at the primary election. Having disgraced themselves and the Republican party by their bolt and party disloyalty at the June election, they now turn around and bellyache because the legislature must. In honor, elect the Democrat to the senate, whom they voted for and nominated. And all this time they are turning up the whrtes of ineir eyes ana claiming to be the only, only, only, fit people to run tho partv. and they demand that Cake shall resign his chairmanship, or thev will kick him out. Let tho galled Jade wince. It is fun for the hnva " Are Women Boom? RK our street manners and our streetcar manners as bad aa an esteemed contemiporary would have us bellove?

By All Means Destroy Bourne From the Salem JourneJ (Rep.) The Oregon machine has set out to destroy, to belittle and undermine the Influence of Senator Jonathan Bourne Jr., who still has four years to serve this state In the upper house of con gress. He Is to be roasted, ridiculed, pla carded and cartooned until the last vestige of Influence he might possess is destroyed and he la reduced to a cipher and a blank so far as Oregon Is concerned. And what for? Merely to gratify the spite of a few political bosses' and party wreckers who cannot handle Bourne like o much putty. They do not pretend he has ever abandoned2 any principle he has ever espoused or betrayed his constituents at snv point. But he Is not a truculent, time-serving llck-splttle of the machine. The interests of Oregon, the good work he might do in the next four years are as nought in the eyes of the Oregon bosses. And yet It cannot be shown where Senator Bourne has ever gone back on a,pleige he made to the people to se cure his election. He has, as senator, stood against the interests and has kept hia name clear of the breath of scandal or corruption. He has not been all-wise in an nia political acts but he has been Bourne, and not a mere skulking shadow or tne machine. . , He has been a positive factor, had a mind of his own, a distinct inoivmumnj. No mich man can be tolerated from Oregon in Washington.

Colonel Ernst Hofer, editor and pro prietor of the Salem Journal, is one editor who is to be envied. While he edits a good paper and enioys a large Income and profit from his huslness, yet editing his paper Is one of the least of his troubles. Editor Hofer is a sort of a versatile Bohemian, who. In common parlance of the country. "ha fire," and yet he neglects none of them and makes a"go" of everything he at tempts.

But if It Is exhibited only by women. men tne observer must be looking with a curious astigmatism upon the be havior of his kind. For my part, 1 have been riding on Portland streetcars as long aa there have been any to ride on, and I never saw a woman with a baby in her arma stand, unless the car waa ao packed that it was Impossible for anyone to move. In which case the arraignment for bad manners should be laid upon the shoulders of the streetcar companies (composed of men), who fall to provide proper transportation facilities for the rapidly growing city. Every day one will see sweet-faced girls give up their seats to gray-haired women, while men beside them stolidly retain their seats. Every day one will see a woman with a child get onto a car. and not only one or two, but four or five. Women make a morion tn rtu and accommodate her.

Of course, it is more comfortable on the platform. Some men give their seats to women, and some do not Some women make a suitable acknowledgment, and ome do not. Some women are courteous to other women, and aome are Indifferent and bad-mannered. But It Is manifest ly unjust to throw tho censure for bad manners in streetcars unqualifiedly at women as a whole, and to claim that they rarely yield a part of their rights to any woman who is not on their call ing list. It is not true, nnd it hurts the good name of our city, and therefore he woroen have a right (o object to aiy such ene-aldcd and unjust statement. at H Seasonable Salads.
