IXLAXD WATERWAY i" T 'HE REPORT of the Inland wa- tefways commission to the con serration congress recently held in Washington was that it has ; been estimated that the . Inland wa terways could be improved in ten years at an annual cost of 15 0,0 00, 000 a years a total of $500,000. 000. . This would amount to about ," 60" cents per annum per capita, or a total for the ten years of $6 for every person in the country cer tainly not an alarming amount for such a great object. But it wlirnot , be money thrown away; for the re port further estimates that the di rect benefits to accrue from the com- "Neva" Ctee. 1 A a3 - pietea plans' are an annual saving or szso.ooo.ooo in transportation, siou.nno.ooo in flood damages. 125. 000.000 In forest fires. 175,000,000 in cheapened power and $600,000. 000 through increased farm produc tion, a total of $1,000,000,000 a year. Or twice the total costof the , work. Of course, this can be only a rough, crude .estimate, yet It was not made entirely on mere guessworkt 4 uul u capaDie men , wno gave the subject much attention. If the esti mate be correct, here is an Income ; every year after the work is com pleted of twice Its total cost. And . yet . there are public men who op pose this project, or. seek in every . way they can to delay it. It is objected, too, that It would be unbusinesslike and foolish to au a thorite the Issue of bonds until com plete surveys are made of all pro , . Jects and reports thereon received. ; This is a dilatory plea. The bonds need not be issued until needed; . some projects have been already suf ficiently investigated, and with the certainty that the policy had been - decided on, surveys and other nec i essary investigations would go for , ward much more promptly and en ergetically than if the matter were ; still left undetermined. The champions of tljis movement -" ' In congress have by long odds the best of the argument; they are fully fortified by a great array of facts; there is no real merit in any objec tion made to the scheme: the Deo- Pie In all parts of the country are ' unquestionably in favor of it, and therefore these congressmen ought to "go In to win" this winter and press this Immensely important project through both houses. t CALIFORNIA PROTESTS NUMEROUS MASS meetings are to be held in California to pro test against the increased x . . freight rates from Pacific coast . f points eastward, to go into effect t,- January 1, and perhaps ,it would be i. well for Oregon to Join in this form of protest The committee of busi ' ness men and shippers which Is di rectlng'the movement In California . represents very reasonably that this . Is not a matter which the railroads have, or ought to have, the right - arbitrarily to decide. The other - party to the transaction is the whole people of California, indeed of the Pacifie coast, and they are not even consulted. The railroads claim that 1 they have been having hard times, " that freight revenues have decreased, that they are obliged . to spend a great deal of money to impr9yeandl - exiena we eervice; -. merejore- in creased rates are. Justified and nec- essary. But the Callfornians re tpond. "Show us. Wt-only have your word for all this. Lay bare all the facts, the whole truth;' about your business, and if an Increase Is jnstlfied we will not object to it." Tbts is a fair proposition, bat the railroads will sot entertain It be cause they claim that their bus! ness is wholly and exclusively theirs and not the. public's at all. It Is this fatuity on their part that is the main foundation for the government ownership propaganda. The railroad transportation business is very much the public's business; all the peo ple are directly and vitally interested parties and they have a right to know everything about the business, down to the smallest fact and fig ure, and then to decide, or at least have a share In deciding, what are reasonable rates. It must come to this, and the sooner the railroads realize this and act accordingly, the sooner will they and the public es tablish those amicable and mutually beneficial relations that we hear bo much talk about and that are so de sirable. AX UNBELIEVABLE REPORT A' NEWSPAPER statement credits some members of the Multno man delegation with hostility to the Willamette locks pro ject. It is said that they favor re peal of the law by which the state offers to bear half the coat. The report is unbelievable. Every con sideration discredits it. There is no reason why any member of the Multnomah delegation should be ready to turn back the wheels of progress In state development. On the broad ground of what benefits Portland benefits Oregon, and of what helps-Oregon promotes Port land, every member of the delegation should have a personal Interest in the expenditure by the state ot such sum as will eliminate private own ership of the locks and make the fiver free. For personal and selfish reasons every business man and every property owner in Portland should take the same view. It Is not a matter over which there 1s room for difference of opinion. Every facility that is added in making It easy for products to reach Portland gives impetus to the growth and establishes more firmly the destined supremacy of this city. Every move that lessens the trans portation cost between this city and adjacent territory is one more rivet in the structural formation of a greater Portland. . It was the rivers, the Willamette and the Columbia, that jnade Portland a possibility. It is trie greatest utilization of those rivers that will more firmly fasten Portland to a position of supremacy. Why is It that Chicago and Illinois are spending $20,000,000 on water ways and canals In the state of Il linois? Why is it that New York city, and New York state are spend ing $110,000,000 on the Erie canal? It is because the men who are men in those states and cities know the laws r of transportation, and the re lation of city gr'owlh and state growth and the promotion of com munity life and wpllbelng thereto. By every law of progress and thrift, by every consideration of business and enterprise, by every known in fluence trending In the direction of Portland's commercial success, not one man in the Multnomah delega tion should hesitate for one single moment to be an earnest advocate and a persistent supporter of any appropriation necessary to secure at once the opening of the Willamette river and the deepening of the chan nel in that river toTCorvallis and Eu gene. It will be amazing If any other view is held by any member of the delegation. So far as The Journal has ever been able to learn the only opposition to the plan ot a freed river comes from the railroads and private interests that profit from a monopolized river. GOVERNMENT IN THE PHILIP- PINES I T IS intimated in a news dispatch that Mr. Taft, when he becomes president, will Inaugurate a con siderably different policy In the Philippines from that hitherto pur sued. The past policy, due In large part to Mr. Taft himself, has been to confer most of the local offices upon the Filipinos, and as far as possible treat them as equals the McKlnley policy of "benevolent assimilation." Mr. Taft in a recent speech at the ceremony of unveiling a McKlnley monument praised that policy and lauded the assassinated president for that among other things, so this re port may be unfounded; yet prob ably nobody knows better than Mr. Taft that except as a shadowy the ory or a political pretense benevolent or any other sort of assimilation, except in a very small degree and at few points, is an impossibility. There 's but slight and strained as similation between the whites and blacks In this country, though they have lived together for hundreds of years, and must live together In the future, and are all Americans; much less can there be assimilation be tween the Americans, most of them officeholders or soldiers, in the Philippines? and the natives. Un doubtedly our military operations and schools have been very instruct-' ive to the Filipinos, and our peo ple over there have learned their character pretty well, so there is a tort of enforced and surface amity and comradeship between them, but theAmerlcaa is -the Anglo-Saxon etljl, and the Filipino Is the. Malay Tartar oriental still, and so will re main, spite of armies and school teachers. . " A Montana man, out hunting, heard the bushes ratle, and sup posed It , was a deer. He fired, as they5 often do. Four hours . later, his brother nearly frozen and bleed- ing to death was found at -the spot The victim expired before the near- est farm, house could . be reached, Ana mus tne aay'a sport by. the two brothers had Its terrible sequel. And thus the harvest of death through the carelessness and recklessness the hunters goes tragically' on. In Michigan 11 hunters fell by accl - dental shooting within two. weeks. Thereafter the legislature passed law and now the man who eboots another for a deer goes to the peni tentlary for 10 years, IMPOSSIBLE, MR. FULTOX. S ENATOR FULTON'S letter to an Oregon legislator is a prac tical avowal of his own impossi bility. It ought to be so ac cepted by his friends. They wrong him by adhering toor tempting him to, a candidacy. It places him in the wrong light before the electo rate of Oregon. It puts him In the attitude Of an Insurgent. It makes him anno-A,. t ,1 j , otio.om. iuc iu lira ui ucny flOW Of affairs. It ascribes to him , . ... a purpose Of setting the Will of the people at. defiance.

Jlft letter practically admits as much., It. recalls that he was an anti-statement candidate before the peopie, ana that pro-statement won. That alone eliminated htm and 'by overv r-nnalrlopotlnn -A V"' " " , fc.r should have been final. He was a candidate before his, party and his party rejected . him and chose an- ntriar Tfc.i ii. ui u. other. That eliminated Air. Fulton, and byevery consideration of good faith it should have been final. He declared at Corvallls in a public ad- j . . . . , , , dress before hundreds of people that If defeated before the people his name would not go before the legis- lature for senator or any other of- flee, and, by every consideration of EOod faith that should be final, With the people of all parties voting, Mr Chamberlain was selected as the candidate for senator, and by every known consideration of good faith that should be final. Mr. Fulton , . . ... - , ' " went to Washington and sought the id or tne aaminlstratlon. but failed, The sequel to his effort was that the president frankly declared it the duty of Oregon to ratify the people's choice. Along with all this there Is 1 a rUtno- tirio nt VovnWinn .n the state in which the granges are indignantly protesting a against the election of any other candidate than the people's choice. At the same time a united eastern press and an almost unanimous state Dress In Oregon Is denouncing any plan of . . , . ..v.,, , . Interfering with the regular and peaceful order programed' by the DeODle. To all this there is but one mean- ng. it is Impossible to .overturn I the majestic mountains or drain the ,. . , , l wett" "l 118 WL5I- 41 . imposs!- ble to count the sands -of the sea- shore or to enumerate the raindrops that fall from the clouds. There is . , ,. , .... . an Irrevocable fixity In the political events of recent date in Oregon and their Inevitable logic Is the Impos- slbUlty of Mr Fulton It harms him for his friends to attempt to make him possible. It' wrongs him fdr them to Buggest him as a possibility, The rivers cannot be reversed nor the ballot box defied.

FAMOUS GEMS OF PROSE 'The Bell V lW" From chanter S of "The Life of George Washington." The representatives of the people as sembled In solemn conclave and long and anxiously surveyed the ' perilous ground on which they were treading. To recede was now impossible; to go on seemed fraught with terrible cop quences. The result of the long and fearful conflict that must follow was more than doubtful. For 20 days con gress was tossed on a sea of perplex ity. At length, Richard Henry Lee, Shaking off the fetters that .galled his noble spirit, arose on the 7th of June, and in a clear, deliberate tone, every ac cent of which rang tb' the farthest extremity of the silent hall, proposed tne following resolution "Resolved, That these united colon ies, are, and ought to be, free and inde pendent states, and . all political con nection between us and the states 'of Great Britain Is, and ought to be, to tally dissolved." John Adams, In whose soul glowed the burning future, seconded the reso lution in a speech so full of impassioned fervor, thriving eloquence and prophetic power, that congress was carried away before it, as by a resistless wave. The die was cast, and every man was now compelled to meet the issue. The reso lution was finally deferred until the first bf July to allow a committee ap pointed for that purpose to draft a declaration of Independence. "When the day arrived the declaration was taken up and debated artlclo by article. The discussion Continued for three days, and was' characterized by great excitement. At length, the various sections having been gone through with, the next day. July 4, was appointed for action. It was soon known throughout the clty,,.and In the- morning, before con gress assembled, the streets. were filled Johns Hopkins and the Universities of Paris and Berlin. He was instructor in history at Johns Hopkins for one year, and was assistant professor of history in 1891 and 1892, and professor of Eu ropean, history from 1892 to 1902, at the University of-Wisconsin. Ho was a lec turer on histiry, 1899-1900. and prof es- sor of history at Harvard, where he has been since. . He has : contributed nu merous articles on the Vatican archives, mediaeval student life, . the study and teaching of history, the Inquisition and the Jury.
