Xlneoln, Gettys burg, November 19, 1863. . editorial not only shows an entire lack of appreciation of present con ditlons, but a willingness to tax the consumers and the Interior under a pretense, refreshing . for its frank ness, that the Orcgonlan favors Portland Jobbers. The feature which appeals most to the Oregonlan is the "etlff rate on the local haul back to the' in terior." The only logical conclusion to.be drawn from this editorial is that the jobbers of Portland should cease all efforts to secure lower dis tributive rates, either through water J competition or otherwise, and re.ly upon: the railroads for such favors as they choose to distribute. Here in Is shown the lack of knowledge of the true situation.- Railroads make their rates on the basis of re venue. They charge what the traffic can bear and they will handle it most advantageously to their own treas uries. ; The business men of Port land, have long since learned that the trade they, can control will be that which they can supply to the best advantage, end. that rates not Justified by conditions are a very slender reed to' lean upon. They know that throughout the north west there will be a number of Jobbing cities; and if they : wanted to prevent the development of other "I ""S3 centers they are smart enough and MHO? jbroad-mindea enougn to Know it is not within their power, it would be N THE conduct and course of strange indeed if throughout the the Republican party in Ore-1 great area 'covered by the three gon there has been nothing ra-1 northwest states tnere snouia do out tional In' years," ' says the one Jobbing center. - - Oregonjan.

The administration of .president .Taft should not be hampered as has been that of Roosevelt by the machinations of "reactionaries." It was at these that John x Sharp Williams aimed that well-directed thrust when he said that while tha ' people were "afraid"-of his own party, they were "tired" of the Republicans. ", The result of the election shows that they would still rather trust those of whom they were alleged to ba tired.'
