THE AIJ.AXT OOX!EXTIOX -k,, yOMOItROW la the tats tot hoHU I Ing the Albany Open River con: I ventknt r', Its - purpose . is to awaken "pubilo sentiment to the mportance of ah enlarged and factli ated use of a free and unobstructed .Viilamette rive?, It isJ: Incredible hat a navigable stream, a stream hat was for years the main, artery f commerce for all . of the then' pop- illation -of Oregon, should have been emitted to pass under the control f a private corporation, and that orporatlon he allowed to exact toll for the passage of freight up and fiown.; It la almost beyond belief that a great river provided by nature as a natural highway of transporta tion should have been so controlled for a period .of '30 yearsK:t;.M;;H'' For years, other people nave been tigging canals through the land and with infinite difficulty and enormous ost have been converting shallow Creeks and little rivers into navigable Streams, but in . Oregon there;, has been witnessed the unnatural spec tacle of a magnificent river passing lmost into disuse by steamboats be cause navigation was impeded by the exactions, laid by private ownership ipon Nature's high way. Through out this SO years of private Control of the river, "added: cost-has-been paid by every resident of the region on every pound of freight shipped in or out, the whole constituting an. ex penditure that reaches far, into the millions-of dollars."; It Is the; esti mate of experts that the city of Sa lem .and vicinity pays In added rates by reason of the disused river ?10O 000 every year. It is common knowl edge that many a farmer and many a merchant pays out more in the in creased freight' rates than, all hi? estate, county, and school -taxes cost him. - ' ! The swift reduction- Mn;. freight rates that f ollrfwedj the establishment of the Open RiveV steamers, on the olumbia.lis history? That a similar competition on the Willamette would have equally direct and sweeping re sults is axiomatic. The mere : re moval of the 60-cents per ion lock age fee weuld force freights down to that extent, for removal, of the toll would result in independent ; lines that would force the reduced, rate, not only on the river but byfall.-To arouse sentiment with such ends in view, and to1 organize a fight' for a navigable and navigated river is the splendid purpose of the Albany Open Iliver convention. ', It la a movement that has a direct and important; bear ing on the welfare of every resident of the region.' ' It is a movement that has a direct and Important bearing on the welfare of the city of Port land, and that should have the sup port and hearty -cooperation of every interest in this city. A free and open river, competing lines,' rehabilitated .steamboating. lower rates and a re vivified commerce will be the slogan et Albany, and it should be swelled Into a mighty chorus. BEVERIDGE T,HB BATTLE is not between ' the political parties, but be I tween the right of the people v and the,-power of pillage," was the declaration of Senator Bever idge.in the late Indiana Republican corrventlon. How prophetic were Sen ator Be ve ridge's words was made ap parent in the exclamation of Con gressman Dalzell of the Cannon congressional- machine, "I .believe now that Indiana Will go Democratic, and ihat is more, I hope It will. Prince ialzell of. the hosts and minions" ol Privilege wants no Republican vic tory unless thai victory is to carry 6ieat to the Caesars f Big Business. The only political sin of Senator Bev erldge and the Indiana convention was that they were true;,to . the I 'edge's of the latest national plat form of their partyi Senator Bever !!ga stoodby the gtins. mounted, for h!s party by the convention that rimed Mr. Taft for president" "He f-.'i the same things at Indianapolis tUt Tie saTd at Chicago" indlhe'same tMBgs he said in the brilliant cam-1,-iipa.he made for the Republican r?.cdidate.

The announcement by. the :Unl ted States supreme court that It will rehear the Standard OH case so re cently argued and submitted to that body for decision Is almost certain Indication that there is embarrassing divergence of opinion - In the tribn aal. : Justice Moody was ill and did not sit .with the other Justices when the case, was- heard and Justice Brewer, w"ho was present, since died.

QttS:hK,.i i-Si The case:along with, that of the tobacco trust is held by many to be the most important since the Dred Scott decision.

If the government loses, and the principle of restraining combinations be over thrown, Big ; Business will :hav- li cense "to pursue the;; toe'thoda-l to which the law and the; conyictfons of 'many'mllliona of people are ' Op posed. It is In such a view that the selection of a supreme. Justice abou,t tp be made by tae president lays the gravest of responsibilities upon Mr. Taft.

It is earnestly desirable that the president may select for the vacant Judgeship & man whose men tal horizon" wtlt-be as broad as the republic and whose viewpoint will not be fixed and focused by the re quirements of Big Business. . GOVERNMENT BY CHILDREN " .- - - -ii 4 RECENT eight In " Brooklyn , was . 2000 school children .- marching from Erie Basin to the borough , hall where they petitioned for playgrounds and tree baths for their school building. : It was a sight exemplifying the princi ple that in this country officialdom is but a temporary agent, that all power is in the masses and that even the children have the right of peti tion for redress of grievances or cor rection ' of conditions. It was.; a marching and tnovlngi public senti ment, strikingly expressed.with the desires' of the youngsters for playr grounds, rthe ' freedom, of the great outdoors and the cleanliness of the bath. It was picturesque presen tation pf the principle of .popular participation in government in which. early in their careers, the little ones knew what they wanted, why they wanted it, and took . the means, and, measures for making their desires known.' : ,'" -':-s .-'-.,. . : , The incident is a reminder that those cities and those states are best governed -in -which, there Is; a virile and active public opinion, such, as was expressed by -this children's pa rade.

Is It nsnal for com peting railroads to be e coarteous and so philanthropic' with competing steamer lines? Having alwayt fought the Panama canal, is it likely that OTerland railroads will supply land ing places for the interoceaa and in ternational steamsh?? lines that will be, the product of that canal? A reoert rerort of the Inland wa terways' commission said: "Every Cjl7.situate4.upeq a seart orcq navigable water coanected with the t which constructs , ad operate municipal docks, will not only pre vent the-monopollzing of transppr- tatlon-but will-secure the lowest competing rates bywater and win t once . become a" terminal ' point Bnd receive the lowest ratos by rail, in deciding a case of rates on the Great Lakes, the Interstate commerce com mission recently declared; "Indeppn- dent boats that were originally bunt and fitted to engage in freight busl ness are unable , to engage Jn that business because defendants (the railroads) controlled the terminals and wharves and refused to permit Independent boats to joad. or unload thereat and refused to receive pack- ages from independent boats."

Thai history of the school , lands of Washington is similar to that of the school lands of Oregon, though there is variance' in details. A Washington, after suffering a. loss of $11,000,000, la still much better off than Oregon. Washington has nearly halt what it ought : toAhaveir;Oregon's fraction saved is much less. And in this state, perhaps In jthat also, , the loss oc curred rather through negligence, in competence, lack' of , foresight, f ailr ure to apprehend the importance of safeguarding' the school lands and of making them yield a large, irreduci ble school; fund than Ithrough down, right corruption andV criminality. But some mistakes are co-evil with some crimes. . ZLliclz fC' LAST CALL HE OFFICERS of, the 150.000 club of Spokane have taken chargo of the - census - work, in that city, says the Spokesman-j Review.; "They have arranged .a complete checking system with the dally reports of the enumerators, the territory covered by the enumerators one day being re-enumerated the day following 'by local men: The club is also having blanks printed, by every newspaper in the city, these blanks being exact copies of the govern ment, blanks used by the enumera tors. Every householder should fill out one of these blanks so that when the enumerator calls the blank, can be passed to him and he will thusl be able to cover ine territory, muco more rapidly.- ;'. . -ItrSeittle the booster have been busy for weeks In efforts to make a big showing of population.-and ac cording to various reports Intend to pile np a total far beyond that city's actual population. Several- visitors to .that city report that population boosters are counting la advance peo ple arriving and departing, regard less of whether they are or ever ex pect to be residents of that city or net. These resorts may be xagger- ated but their repetition by reliable people seems to leave no doubt that this kind of work is being carried cb there. . ,'. . - Meanwhile, what are Portland peo ple 'doing to help get a foil census? We do not want to - rort to any fraudulent methods, nor to staff the returns, tut it Is important to get a rery complete cenaus, and this wfTl Botb done If the enumerators are left entirely to their own derices and Betting is done to help them to do their work thoroughly. This is not saying anything against the enu merators. They are as good aa the average, no doubt, perhups better; but averas:e 1 enumerators, left j to themselves, never did get a full cen sus and never jarlll. . It is said that the commercial bodies "of, Portland are preparing to do something, along, the line of the Spokane plan.

Now there Is no such relation between labor and capital as assumed; nor Is there any such thing as a free man helng fixed for life In tha condition -of a hired laborer, j Labor Is, prior to and independent of capital. Capital Is only the f rujt of ' labor,' and could never have . existed If labor had not first existed.. Capital baa Us rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights.
