LL THE proceedings as to the
Broadway bridge have been de
clared legal. The finding was
In a court of justice, and three
" Judges participated. Their decision
. u i waonenim0fls,jaod every contention
advanced by the friends of the bridge
was confirmed. ;
After a thorough ' discussion, and
with a complete understanding of
the details, the people of Portland,
;by a heavymajority, ordered this
' bridge built The v'declsion was by
-, ballot, and the proceedings were reg-
. ular. There waS a fair, count, and
no question has "ever been raised as
,to the outcome of the voting. The
-.essence,, of. self-government Is ' ma.
'.' Jorlty rule." The ballot box Ji desig
nated by the organic law as the
' means of ascertaining what the ma
jority desire's.' In-that community,
city or state, la which the verdict of
.. the ballot box la accepted as final
and authortatlve by the minority,
' ' self-government- is at its , best, and
. conditions are favorable for achieve
ment, public progress and harmon
"Jous and prosperous -living. When
it is otherwise, public progress is ob
structed, private thrift Is Interfered
with and the ' general welfare
harmed. The vote on the Broadway
bridge having been fair, the proceed
ings having been regular, and Jhe
decision of the people" having been
heavily in its favor, the Broadway
bridge : should not be further op
posed The incident ought to 'dose,,
- the bonds be sold, and construction
proceeds. That is the expressed will
of the people ofrPortlaad-andythe
people are adverelgtt and fsupreme.
; The hih fridge Is the only means
of solving - the present over-river
transit problem. ' Sometime the
,; street railway ,Bhould build tubes.
The low bridge hampers, delays and
" inconveniences harbor- craftr It de
- lays harasses and absorbs the val
uable time of busy people seeking 9
croBa the river. The high bridge
type delays neither: The vessels pass
under It unhindered and the people,
the cars, the vehicles and the long
caravan of traffic pass over it unde-
layed.- 'With the high bridge there
is no delay for anything or anybody.
It is a. full, complete and instantan
eous deliverance fo all. It is a fact
so patent that every schoolboy,' every
schoolgirl, every man and every to-
maa n Portland knows It to be tnie.
' The proposed structure at Broadway
is such a bridge,' the one and only
bridge la the city that will give 'free
passage overhead and beneath, and It
.is the logic of fitness, efficacy and
common sense that It should not be
obstructed, but be hurried to com
pletion. .' ' :,' '', -' ' '

Sadness will grow on a Swede Just the

Ole desired to become a hdsband. To
do this he thought he ought to be mar

Two years went by while Ole kept
his eyes open for any young lady on
her way to a watery grave, but watery
graves were scarce. They always are
on- th desert Anyone -who is looking
for a watery grave, will do well, to re

One day Ole decided, ha could stand

he would awake and save her. . One

CTKSIXa THE COLLEGES
THE NEW YORK BRIBERY
i BRIBERY Investigation is in
. 1 progress In the New York leg-
r lslature. The Republican lead
er, Senator Allds, is charged
with accepting a bribe of $1000. The
charge Is made by Senator Benn
Conger, who deolares that the bribe
was accepted by Allds as the price
-for his vote against pending leglsla-
tlon. Conger has produced a former
employe and business associate who
has testified before the senate com
mittee that hegave Allds an envel
ope containing. $1000 in currency.
He swears that at the same tdme he
, gave two other legislators envelopes
containing respectively 4000 and
$1000 each. The latter two mem
, here have since died and their names
- have pot yet been made public. The
bribery took, place at the session of
1901. The testimony has also shown
that the American Bridge company
raised a corruption fund in 1902,
' 1903 and 1905, and that in 1902 a
contribution went to the state chair
man of the - Republican committee.
The. stub of a eiieck for $6500 was
produced and Identified by Conger
' as the original bribe fund, it was
dated April 22, 1901,
Of the payment of the $.1000 bribe
to', AUds. Conger Is quoted as saying:
'Allds and I knew each other very
well. We were on committees to
gether. I" knew just the sort pf a
man he was. Why, that matter pe-
. tweeh us was a mere fleebite in
comparison with what 'was being
done In Albany at that time. Strike
bills were being introduced on, all

was to pay, pay, pay. It was under

It." yVs:-

MAN HAS appeared who holds
that "Colleges are a curse." He
says that the millions Bpent
annually on universities, col
leges, technical and agricultural
schools,, and on law and medical
schools in general are swallowed up
In one. of the most gigantic swindles
of,, the age. "The schools are not
needed and they cannot be anything
out a curse-, ne says. He adds tbat
I; is-"conservatively estimated that
the expense of education to this
nation is at least , $100,000,000 a
year, and this enormous sum is
literally thrown away, much to the
injury of the country and its people."
This man is a multimillionaire
manufacturer. He Is R. T. Crane.
.president of the Crane company, and
his unusual statements appear in a
book just issued. His volume Is
violent la its attacks on college pro
fessors, college presidents and all
others connected with higher educa
tion and technical Bchbol3. 4
Mr. Crane is not the first man
who has been made mad by his mil
lions. Once the late C. P. Hunt
ington expressed a similar view, and
the same expression has been at
tributed to R. M. Schwab, the Bteel
magnate. But the sane men of the
country are not disturbed by these
passing speeches of vanity. The men
who. have risen through their own
illiteracy into positions of great
wealth, are comparatively lew. A
peculiar genius for accumulation and
often small scruples as to methods"
brought them success. ' In the
abounding confidence of that suc
cess, egotism seizes them, and they
become at once prophets and advo
cates of a career by the illiterate
route, . : - , "
The-universities are not a curse.
The money spent In technical train
ing is not one of the "most gigantic
swindles of the age." It is common
knowledge that the , great railroad
systems are mofo and more drawing
their recruits for the most responsi
ble positions jn their service from!
LET JACKSON COUNTY BFILD IT
T
HERE ARE other ways to build
the . Crater Lake road. The
fact that the constitution 1b a
bar to Btate aid need not end
the project. The benefits to arise
from bringing this wonder asset into
accessibility . should not be lost to
the state. Though It is an under
taking of Btate-wlde and. country
wide significance, the court decision,
by holding It to be in the particular
Interest of Jackson and Klamath
counties, narrows the use of public,
funds for the purpose to those two
counties.
It is within the easy possibilities
for Jackson county to alone finance
that section of "the road between
Medford and the limits of the Crater
Lake reserve. Jackson is , fast ' be
coming one of the strong; counties
of the state. It has. a population,
of 80,000 to 35,000. Its demon
strated possibilities for orcharding
make "its land wealth enormous. A'
single orchard of 605 acres-changed
hands within the' week at $500,0001
These values will increase, and are
going to extend to a constantly
widening area of orchard lands. No
body knows what- the aggregate
wealth 'of the county will ultimately
be. The assessed valuation pfprop
erty for the past year was $26,438.-
666, but this Is a mere' bauble com
pared toj what-it will be as the de
velopment of the orcharding industry
proceeds. Men of very great finan
cial means are becoming heavy in-
estors In the district, and they wilt
be more and more attracted, there;
One of the very influences to draw I
a strong population would be the
Crater Lake project with its attrac
tion for those who seek diversion,
rest and pleasure. ' y
Tbe sum the state was . to con
tribute for the section of the road
In this county was only $50,000.
The amount would be a mere nothing
for Jackson county to raise! It' is
ail expenditure that Jackson county
could make and never miss the
money, and one that would be an
investment from which the dividends
would i be enormous. The people
there cannot afford, because of the

, Facts of Heisler Shooting.
Hay Creek, Feb. 15. To the Editor of
The Journal I wish to -state some of
the facts regarding the shootingof Mr.
Russell by a stage driver named John
son at Hetsler station, - which is about
.25 miles from Shaniko on the Prlne-
vllle road. The article In the Oregonian
of February 13, stated that . Johnson is
an old character and has a bad reputa
tlon while the facts- are he is about 19
years of age and had been employed by
'the stage, company for two months-as
driver and has the nama of being g.ood
natured ana not-quarrelsome.
The cause, as state"d to Mr. Nichols,
foreman for the Baldwin Sheep & Land
company, of. Hay Creek, and .to the
writer of this afticle, was this: Russell
objected to Johnson stopping;, arid wait
ing for another driver that was follow
ing. Russell told Johnson that when
Heisler was reaches! he would give John
son a trimming. Before getting to Heis
ler, they met the stage going: toShaniko
and Johnson asked, thp driver iMia bd
a gun, as there was a fighting- niHn-on
his stage that was going to do him up
when Heisler was reached. The driver
gave Johnson his revolver. Russell was
in the stage and saw Johnson -. get ' the'
gun. ,
When; Heisler was reached, Johnson
got down to unhitch, as- they change
horses there. He had dropped, one tug
and stepped up on the wheel to loosen
. America's second war, for Indeperi
dence began in 1812, and the treaty
or peace oiosing c that, conflict was
ratified 95 years ago today. The war
of.. 1812 was .partly apolitical, ; partly
commercial, ; partfly patriotic. It was
unpopular with a great number of the
American people, but It resulted, at
least, in establishing once for all the
position of the United States as an
erruai power among the powers. An In
