MORE PALPABLE UNTRUTHS.
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.

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

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

of an inch square, and five and one
half inches long with a projecting
head that clamps the railajWhen

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?

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.

But weak as Cake was he beat Fulton.
Fulton's friends in censequence of
Cake's nomination, were bound In all

knifed him, and supported Chamberlain.
It was a dastardly trick, but thev did
It, and to cover up their dishonor they

Having disgraced themselves and the

disloyalty at the June election, they
now turn around and bellyache because

SANE REPUBLICAN.
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. . ,

One Editor That Is to Be
Envied
From the Pendleton East Oregonian.
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

and makes a"go" of everything he at
tempts. While being one of the beat and most
vigorous editorial writers the north

behave perfectly In public, either la

evidence of selfishness, lack of breed

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.
Repeatedly you will see glrla "fling
home at night, tired from work, take
upon their lans the heavy hnnrllA nf
other girls or women who are forced
to stand. Every day you will see women
trying: to sret nntn rnrm whila thA
who could move off the platform and
allow them to aten III) retain thlr
places stolidly without a motion.
fcverv day you will hear womn astraA
to "step to the rear, please," and see
them do It. while the men retain their
stand upon the platform where there Is
a breath of air. 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.
