Pliny. THE CHICAGOAXS FOR THE day Portland Is the host of distinguished citizens of Chicago. 'They are presi dents, vice-presidents, man agers and partners in great com mercial and Industrial establish ments, being bone and sinew of the business of a city whose extraordi nary growth is one of the marvels of the modern world. In 1830, Chi cago was a frontier hamlet of log cabins containing less than 100 In habitants. It was In the heart of a wilderness, remote from all promise or prospect or future importance. In 1837, which was the year It was in corporated, it had 4170 inhabitants, In 1840, 4479, and in 1850, 28,269; in I860," 109.206; In 1870 306,603; ifl 1880, 503,298; in 1890, 1,105, 640; in 1900, ,1,698,575 and by 1910 I should show a population approach- I- Ing 3,000,000. It is "a record of city expansion never before known in the j v history of the world, and no condi tio Hon is ever likely to arise in which the process will be paralleled, j Though among1 the youngest of the i first rank cities in the country, It is ' the second in population, second in p and second in wealth In the country. 5, , Its -figures of bank clearings, bank deposits, manufacturing production and commercial transactions reach a stupendous aggregate, placing Chi cago among half a dozen of the mas ter cities of the world. It is business and industrial pil lars of such a clty4hat Portland has as guests for the day. The list of visitors includes figures of notable ' standing In Chicago's financial and S commercial life. Their errand is a ? fraternal visit" to the Rose City, born 1 of that wide movement among cities I for greater unity and a better nn j derstanding of trade relations a I movement in which Chicago was the I pioneer and is a conspicuous leader, i v The best acumen in the world is en- ' gaged in the enterprises of which t these visitors are representatives, , and it Is not surprising that they are exemolars and apostles of a doctrine that, has intercity, interstate and in t; ternatlonal comity, as a basis for ? progress and perfected results. It Is a thesis for best achievement in 'business, In society, in the church, I in politics or any other phase of hu- jnan life. A welcome to the visting Chi . cagoans hangs at the door of every Institution in the Roe City. Their Incoming was conceived in progressive thought and executed in good will, j Their purpose is broad and their ex- ample superb. To them and the i distinguished newspaper writers in their party Portland presents her i good will, her greeting and her hope for closer relations. , THE ELECTORATE'S DISCRETION' T HE RESULT of Monday's elec tion rebukes those shallow per sons who do not understand the average man, and who , - make the silly charge that the body ? ; politic cannot intelligently legislate. As has been repeatedly proven in Oregon, they arc superficial observ ers who insist that the aggregate .- Judgrneut of the electorate on roeas- ures of lepislation is not as sound . and as trust wrtrthy as is that of the .' average legislature. - Monday's voting was a crucial test - of the intelligence' and judgment of the Portland electorate. No strain so heavy was ever laid on a ' body of voters. There were 35 measures on the ballot, and hi many instances, one conflicted with the . other, with a prospect that the bal ? lotlng might result in unlimited con t fusion. ; In inany cases, the measure ; was complex, requiring intelligence tsd careful scrutiny in reaching a sound verdict. Even to those who have boundless faith' in the average man .there was much concern over what the result - of the balloting might be. The test was probably the severest to which any electorate was evefor will ever be subjected. But, profound -satisfaction with the result is the sequel to the vot ingMeasures that deserved it, were I caten, some of them with - a vote so heavy as to be a protest against the proposing of Irrational schemes for adoption. The excise law, th Gothenberg scheme, and measures of kindred impossibility were over whelmingly defeated. The municipal light proposition, the Sherman street bridge, the proposed change of the Madison to tha . Market street . site and similar measures of dfcubtfu expediency were defeated. Thenew charter, which in the opinion of The Journal, should have been passed was beaten,, but, as It involved a sweeping change in the municipal system, the voters in the absence of fuller information, showed discre tion by refusing to accept it until they could more fully understand its effect. In time, they will better un derstand,1 and adopt it. On, the other hand, the soundest of judgment was displayed ir the measures selected for adoption. The Broadway and Madison street bridges were authorized, the crema tory bonds were voted, and all other measures that appealed to discre tion and conscience were passed. The verdict In each .case is about that which a dozen intelligent citlzeis, af ter careful study and with complete concern for conscience and the pub lie welfare, would have returned. All conflicts and confusion were avoiaea and she crecislon as a whole, was in telligent and discreet. It belies the arrogant claims of all those who want to take the right to legislate away from the electorate. It puts to shame their" silly charge that the people are Incompetent, and a mere herd incapable of accurate judgments. It is in line with the other excellent verdicts by the Oregon electorate which, after the legislatures had re fused them each, gave us the pri mary law, the local option law, the franchise tax law, and the corrupt practices act, four measures of the first rank, and the most notable leg islation enacted In Oregon in a quar ter of a century. THE INDIAN WAR VETERAXS I T IS a far cry, also, hack to the days of the tomahawk, the scalp ing knife, the horrors of Indian warfare. Yet behold, young men and boys, here are men and women, hundreds of them, yet alive, who knew all about that time, who par ticipated, actively, often valiantly and indeed with dauntless courage, in those early conflicts of conquest and development. The Indian was a wily, cruel, re lentless foe on those occasions, yet we never had It in our heart to blame him severely. He acted ac cording to his nature, and he was fighting, too, In his own way, the only one he knew or that was avail able to him, for his home and for the country that he thought was his, that he could not .understand was not his forever. Of course he was mistaken; he used the country but slightly; he im proved and developed nothing; but in his way he was a brave, patriotic specimen of the genus homo. The developers, the reformers, the civilizers, the pioneers, came, and also -built their cabins, cleared their patches, regarded the sustenance and protection of wives and children as their first duty and their highest re ligion and so there were conilicts. The newcomers were men of a higher type; they were in the ulti mate necessarily stronger; they were of a conquering race; hence Oregon, the west ind"eed America! Yes, these mild, peaceful, dear old pioneers were in their time fierce fighters of a savage, barbarous, lurking fne, and niany or their com rades fell on those historically in glorious yet really glorious fields of desperate strife In the old Oregon country. Many are the tales these survivors can tell of how they fought and gradually conquered these states, and insured peace and pros perity to their heirs and successors. Welcome these grizzled veterans! They fought and their wives la bored, denied themselves and suf fered not only for the children of that time, and for the oncoming im migrants of the earlier years, but for you and me, for the generations to come, for the people of the Oregon country during all time. MILLIONS FOR THE RICH ESS THAN four months ago the common stock of the steel trust was selling at $40 per share. But since it has become evident that congress was goihg to raise rather than lower excessive duties, and protect as much as ever, or more, the trusts and all over protected interests. Steel common has gone up to $69 a share or more, an Increase of $29 a share at least, er over 72 per cent. The men who manipulate and chiefly own and deal in this stock undoubtedly know what they are about; they know just how the tariff cat w ill jump at the national capi tal. Knowing, and Indeed having power through their tools in con gress, Aldrich and his followers, to control, to fix, the schedules, they proceed to coin millions, which all consumers of steel must pay. There are in a round number 5,000,000 shares of steel common. About 100 days ago they were worth $200,000,000; now they are worth $350,000,000, a clear gain of $150,000,000, with probably as much more In prospect In the near future spelling practically a tax of $300,OW,000 on a single product that the American people must pay -and an utterly needless tax, for steel can be made here cheaper, and more profitably than In any other country on earth, and needs so pro- tection whatewr. , Verily. .Aldrich and his followers are 'earning-big salaries! , This is sheer legislation for the rich, and against the common con- siiraer and taxpayer. In a word. It is outrageous robbery. How longlte'cted industries themselves; be- are the American people going to stand it? TILE PACIFIC NORTHWEST N TO ' he Pacific North- '0 west.' should from now be the cry throughout the) United States," says the! Chicago Record-Herald. It is speak - ing especially of .the A.-Y.-P. expo- sltlon at Seattle, but It recognizes the fact that Seattle is only a point In and of the great, incomparable "Pacific Northwest." This exposition, the Chicago paper says, not only Illustrates : marvelous progress, "but of a kind that spells Immediate opportunity and splendid potentiality." This Is true, not es- peclally in or immediately around Seattle,-this summer a focal point, but throughout this immense oppor- tunlty-bulging and bursting region. all the way not tespeak of Alas ka from Everett to Boise City, from Spokane to Coos Bay. The visitors to Seattle will see a I fine, wonderful exposition; then they should branch out and see the coun- try, or as much of it as Is practica ble, which makes such an exposition possible, and which is as much greater and more admirable and worthy of study as the United States Is greater than the government buildings at Washington! Look over this immense, fair. productive region, visitors; It may do you good; it will be educative and inspiring. Don't overlpok Ore gon, a twin state in resources and opportunities of Washington and Idaho is very nearly the equal, of either. It is a big country; its equal Is to be found nowhere. As the Chicago paper says, "On to the Pa cific Northwest should from now be the cry throughout the United States' not only till October, but for years to come. This splendid regidn awaits millions of workers nd home-builders. The death this morning of the famous author of "A Man Without a Country" marks the passing of one whose name is almost a household word In every American home. Ed ward Everett Hale was one of the most celebrated of the literati, ajnd one of the most eloquent pulpiteers of his time. It has fallen to the brain of few me.n to produce so prodigiously, no less than 70 titles havlne fallen from his Den. In ad- ikot . ....D..,f I i.

There's Smoot, a me-tq echo of Aldrich, put forward as the Stand ard Oil leader's chief lieutenant in the tariff debate Smoot, saying that "a duty of obly 100 per cent on wool would flood the country with foreign wool and would be inade quate to protect the industry." This is a sample of protection run mad. The sheep and wool growers are mostly prospering .greatly; many of them have grown rich, but now 100 per1 cent duty is not nearly enough for them; they want not 20 cents a pound for wool that can be raised profitably for 15 cents a pounTl, but J 30, 40, 60 cents a .pound, so that only rich., people can afford, to buy manufactures of wool. It Is such absurd extremes of protection," rather than' lower duties, that will inevl- tably tend to, "ruin" the very pro- cause only a few people can afford to buy their products. " A former candidate for mayor of Boston is suinsr the Good Govern Iment association of that town for $76,000,000 for alleged defamation of character.

(Extract from as address delivered at Mt. Hope cemetery, Memorial day, 1907.) Forty years ago la New York City a few talented spirits, .princes In Bo hemia's happy realm, resolved to or ganize for mutual protection and prog ress, and the fruit of that resolution Is beheld today in tha Benevolent arid Protective Order of Elks, the emblem of whose flourishing activity Is seen in every portion of our vast country. The accredited founder of our order was Charles Algernon Sydney Vivian, and within this sacred enclosure Jils mor tftl frame silently reposes. Forty years ago, to commemorate deeds of valor, heroic martyrdom and patriotic service' of the soldiers and sailors of the United States, this day was established a national memorial. So touching was its- sentiment and so ImpresBlve Its appeal to every natural affection, that its exelusiveoess - has gone, and today wherever throughout this entire land a single stone denotes a place of burial, may be disclosed to view some tender evidence or a living love, of cherished and hallowed memor ies. And even upon the blue waters of the ocean are strewn nature's frag rant blossoms as a sweet and affection ate tribute to the memory of those whose tomb is the unfathomable deep. The tender sentiments and loving mem ories which this day revives weld al most here on earth a union of the liv ing and the dead; a spiritual commun ion at least, that presages, let us hope, that happy and .eternal reunion in the home beyond the grave. Beneath these simple stones He many of 'our departed brothers, and In re sponse to duty and true brotherly love we .gather, here on Memorial day and In anthem and prayer invoke of the Ex alted Ruler In heaven eternal happiness to their immortal souls. I shall not here extol their graces nor lavishly paint their virtues. To those who knew Hubbard, on the Polar sea.
