It seems fairly clear that the Young Turks, .who have attacked the long existing regime, are la a broad, general sense comparative progressivlsts and reformers, or believe themselves bo but to what extent, or what Is the measure of either their sincerity or capacity, we have little definite knowledge, That their . purposes ' are ; to a considerable : degree truly patriotic,' and that the' outcome will be to some extent beneficial to the . people not only of Turkey but of Europe and the world, may be rea sonably predicated, yet One would not be wise to expect greatly bene- . jlclal results Immediately, nor with out succeeding ana . pernaps pro tracted struggles. . . One discouraging feature Is the r fact that the reform element will apparently have to rely not only tow but in future upon the military. thing likely to be unsafe to do, an , in doing which clrH authorities have - small - chance of great and perma . nejnt reforms in government. Al ready the insurrectionary party seems to be divided into opposing supporters of riyal chlefs who in turn may become reactionary and tyrannical with access of power. Another discouraging fact 'la that the Turks are nominally and pro 1 fessedly, and in the observance -of , forms If not in sincere sentiment. very religious people, of ' a kind namely, Mohammedans. To con tinue to maintain this- religion as partner and the controlling element in the civil government would almost certainly prove a -finally fatal mis taker yet it does not appear that the reformers are attempting .to : over : throw the; church, nor is -it probable that they could do so if they : tried, .Yet they may write ; the opening . chapters of the story that will ulti '. mately tell of Turkey's escape 'from - the pestilential union of church and state. The sultan has been represented by ambassadors -. from this country j and other countries, and by some dls tlnguished travelers and writers, as a much slandered man, - and there may have been exaggerations of his i misdeeds, yet enough of what is al - leged againBt him is probably true to Justify the civilized world's hope that his political career has ended, and that he will have no imitating 'successor. , i f But England, Russia, Germany s and Austria all have vital Interests in Torkey, as they believe,' and they may exert a more or less repressing influence.' They fear certain possi ble changes more than they hate the character and actions of the Turk. ' REACTIONARY TALK r HE GENERAL dominant note at the Fulton-Simon dinner was one of party, not of the people, v the country, the state or the city. The . success - of the party, right or wrong, under all cir cumstances and on all occasions, was . vrged all along the line, and the ne cessity of its strong organisation was ; dwelt on by each speaker, none of whom had anything to say about the , jeoplefc the masses; they were for gotten or ignored unless' it was as sumed that the Republican party was and would be always and alto gether right and best for the people, aa assumption that many voters of that party have come to disbelieve or doubt; and who are convinced that in many cases selfish, unscru pulous and .: misrepresenting mem have been- selected by the lauded i , (arty machine, and through the ex-i toiled virtue of party fealty, fidelity to tha leaders, oa every possible oc casion. Mr. Simon was both party 'boas - J officeholder for many years, bat at relieved from such srTice. not, think It cocld safely be assorted. i !te r;i''' hurt, and there is no i:fr.r thst there is any loud and t rsJ oa.thc'r r-art fjr a r . - . : cf uth services.

Mr, M. C, George was always and stiU a Buenor for party organisation and machine activity, and he also iohi ois joo. ' ' ' It soems ImpQBBlble for these men , 1 At . 1 - iiura me lesson or tuese changes that took place when the people came into their own, a lesson that it wouia seem that any one could road as he ran. Yet it is quite natural ror these men to advocate a return to a system, a program and prac tices of the abolition of which they have been victims, but the people, most of them Republicans, have definitely decisively, : determinedly and purposefully set aside that sys tern, because of its evil aspects and results, because particularly it de prived them of real - representation and participation in government, and made boasted representative govern ment largely a farce and a fraud. Mr. Simon says he does not know why, the Republican party went to pieces in Oregon and lost some of the offices. If he doesn't ' know, or if knowing he is still for abolishing all the progressive and ' reformatory measures which the people have gained, then he is not fit for mayor of Portland, and we think a large majority of its people, if they have a fair chance, will so decide and de clare.' : ' .;; ,' Mr. George .very candidly made thjs "keynote" remark: ."To at tempt to give .government ' directly into-the hands of the people is like allowing a child to swing a razor around its head. It is very likely to -hart Itself." And he plainly stated that he, was opposed to direct! pri mary nominations. . This was un doubtedly ,the prevailing if not the unanimous sentiment of the gather ing. The theory of these men is ' that the people are not at all fit for self government, nor . can become fit by more exercise of power. They should leave even all matters of local gov ernment to the politically wise and superior leaders and bosses, and their party machines. Like children or tools, they are incapable of judging what is good for them, and are not entitled to any real voice la or much knowledge of their; public affairs. Hence the need of the rehabilitation of the Republican party machine, to take away from the people the rights and powers that they have recently gained. , For this purpose Mr, Simon will no doubt be an ideal candidate for mayor. Perhaps no boss ever de spised .the common people more than he. As mayor be .would have a large vantage ground on which to construct a machine that would rele gate the rank and file of voters to their former condition of political negligibility, with scarcely more political power than so many goats.

THAINS OX A SINGLE RAIL A' is N EXPERIMENT, with an eleo trie railroad that has but one rail Instead of two in its track is attracting wide attention; It confidently asserted by a writer la the Technical World that It- will revolutionize rapid transit ; In ' this country. It is on the New Haven line between Bartow, and City. Is land, and in a few months will be ready to cariy passengers. , Some of the world's greatest engineers have declared that a, speed of over 100 miles an hour can be obtained oa this stretch of monorail road with abso lute comfort and safety at a first cost of 80 per cent less than the standard gauge railroads, and a saving of over 26 per, cent In operation and. main tenance. John H.' Starln, formerly vice president of the , rapid transit board, says: "To put electricity on our present unwleldly cars is like hitching a thoroughbred -with dray horse. . They don't belong to gether..' The monorail goes natural ly with electricity. , It Is equal to it Once we have these two properly harnessed there Is no doubt we shall make new and astonishing achieve ment in every branch of land trans portation." ; - - ; a N v ' - A vast -and uneconomical expendi ture of power and a great strain on locomotive and cars rapidly destroy ing roadbeds and bridges and al ways accompanied by more or less peril result from high speed on a double track. It is impossible to maintain a pair of rails exactly hori sontal. There is inevitably a Jerk ing of the train from, side to. side, which at high .speed becomes ex ceedingly dangerous, because when ever the level is not perfect there is tendency to create lateral impact against one rail or the other. The heavy wear on tracks and equip ment is costly, and the danger to life great. Both the danger and a large part of .the wear, it is claimed. III be obtlatM oy tne monorail sys tem.

This can be and no doubt will be remedied somewhat, but nowhere are there such ideal conditions for producing first class apples as in Oregon. Strangely, the crop of this splendid fruit fell off in this coun try from 65, 000,000 barrels in 1896 to 23,000,000 barrels in 1908. The department gives out these figures: In 1896,. 69,070,000 barrels; 1897, 41.536.000; 1898, 28,560.000; 1899, The prohibitionists of the . city have nominated a ticket, composed so far as The Journal knows of very good men, but, as usual, the prohi bition ticket will get but a very small fraction of the total vote.

Cleveland and Pittsburg. Hence we claim to know something about the live, active and beautiful cities of the Union. But In many respects Portland looks better to us than " any of the places named. As a place of residence tt stands far ahead of any of them aa a city beautiful It far excels -them. However, it is is a place or ousiness. a clace of prosperity, that Portland ap peals to us with the greatest force, for at the present time. we tnina roruana wear the greatest air of solidity and progress we have ever witnessed in any city, great or email. . ...
