NEW YORK'S' EXAMPLE
' f"lHE New York Herald of Aug
Iust 24 printed a chart showing
positions of 73 large steam
ships on the Atlantic, all bound
Trom or to New York. Forty were
west bound and 33 were going east
ward.. Ten of , the numbej are in
the Mediterranean service.
ThJs great fleet of vessels dock at
New York because that port has 40
feet of water from the city line on
the North river to the ocean. Bos
ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia
have ocean traffic, but New York
' lias the great bulk of it and the
big ships. Other ports lack depth
of water and width of channel. New
YoiPk has both, and New York is
the nation's metropolis largely be
cause of deep water.
There Is another reason why ships
dock at New York. Passenger traffic-,
follows freight traffic. 'New
.' York is the nation's freight dis
trlbutlng point on the Atlantic be
cause that city is at the lower end
of .a:sravity haul from the entire
Great Lakes region. Freight origin
ating at Duluth can travel by wa-"
ter the entire distance to its destin
ation, In Europe. This freight avoids
Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia,
not -because It wishes to pass
through New York, but because
gravity hauls carry It there and
ample water for ocean vessels al
lows it cheap passage to Europe.
New York grew big and prosper
' cus because of her .natural advan
tages. That city had Initiative and
courage enough to insist upon pos
session of those advantages. Steam
ships cannot navigate without depth
of water-v-and sufficient depth Is
maintained in New York's harbor.
Railroads could not haul freight and
passengers over mountain ranges to
Philadelphia and other cities as
cheaply as ithey could haul to New
York and New York insisted up
on . retaining the advantage of her
"geographic location.
New York! geographic position
TIa no more advantageous than is
the Columbia river's mouth. An in
land empire is awaiting development
that will come only when natural
laws are observed. The Columbia
basin must have free access to thecar conductors. She mentions Mount
sea. It must not be handicapped ; Scott and Woodstock conductors
by hauls over mountains to Puget ' specifically for the reason that she
sound. Traffic must be permitted has used those cars more than oth
to follow cheap and natural chan-jers. The conductors have been
nels, it must be given the right ! courteous to her. '
It Is not a mere privilege traffic
must be given the right to travel
the Columbia river's water level
grades.
New York's ocean shipping was
not acquired in a day. When thejfacture is eliminated; the profits
Columbia Is opened to all steam- j are certain; the reward is in legal
ships, and railroads are required to ' tender which passes current with

But it will have an opportunity for are realized while the product is

' by af bar at its mouth and by dis
criminatory railroad rates along its
banks.
When the Panama canal is opened
both freight and passengers now
traveling by rail across a continent
to secure the advantage of New
York's port will In large part avoid
the land Journey. The route will
be by way of the canal, for traffic
always follows the cheaper haul.
JFor that reason the Columbia must

OREGON'S MAHRIAGE LAW
0'
REGON'S law requiring physi
cal examination of men seeking
marriage is called class legis
lation by two district fudges.
They pronounce the law a failure,
as well as an Injustice upon mem
bers of their own sex. They deplore
the fact that some Portland men,
to evade the law, go to Vancouver
for their marriage licenses, thus
depriving Multnomah county of a
J3 fee.
Judges Jones and Dayton have
taken a most extraordinary position,
and they have announced it iu a
most extraordinary manner. If the
Oregon law is class legislation, it
U unconstitutional, uml that should
settle its fate. But is it good prac
tice for a judge, or two judges, to
assume jurisdiction of an issue when
that issue is not properly before
them?
Judges Jones and Dayton are
quoted as saying they spoke only
as citizens in condemning the law,
but If they are competent 10 sit on
the bench they know that ordinary
people cannot easily distinguish be
tween a judge on tho bench and a
judgo In the street. A Judge's
street opinion on the law has no
binding force or effect, but too
many people do not realize the fact.
Furthermore, should the marriage
law ever get into court. Judges
Jones and Dayton have already dis
qualified themselves to sit in the
case.
But there is a larger issue than
the necessity for Judges to remain
discreet at all times. These two
magistrates say, in effect, that be
cause a law does not accomplish its
full purpose, then, ami for that
reason, it should be annulled. The
law against murder does not pro
hibit killings, but it is doubtful
whether any sane person would even j
suggest tearing the statute from the
books. It is the duty of judges to
assist in the enforcement of law,
rather than to condemn It because
the law may not be 100 per cent
efficient.
The class legislation argument is
far fetched. It Is true, the law is
not perfeot, but it strikes at the
chief cause of much suffering and
unhappiness In married life. Judges
Jones and Dayton say the law is
defective because It does not require
physical examinations of women.
What do. they mean by this? Are
they attempting to say that the
average woman is as great a men
ace as the average man? Or are they
(attempting to impose conditions that
would tend to reduce the law to
an absurdity.-
Few people not directly interested
in fees will join these judges in
bewailing the loss of $3 to Van
couver. Sober .mindrvl taxpayers
will agree that it is far better to
do what they can to protect unborn
generations from vices of the pres
ent than to give heed to a ?3 argu
ment. A r FRKCI ATI NG COURTESY
w
iRITING to Tho Journal, "A
Woman of 60" expresses her
appreciation of courtesies
shown her by Portland street
Well, why not?
Courtesy Is the
cheapest and most valuable product
of today, yesterday or all time. It
pays dividends far in excess of any
other product; tho co6t of inanu-
being put out.
This woman's letter to The Jour
nal is good reading. People are
Inclined too far toward 'speaking
of others only when there is some
thing to criticise. We accept cour
tesy, honesty, straightforwardness
too often as a matter of course.
We find fault, but we don't ex
press our Appreciation. Wits?' Is it?
Why do we incline toward fault I
finding, rather than toward recog-'
nition of what is right?
Portland street cur conductors I
not show the conductor your appre
ciation of his courtesy? Why not
make the habit fixed as to all
people ?
JUSTICE AM) Jl'RIKS
c
RITICISM of courts for miscar
riages of justice is justifiable,
but it should be specific. The
itlrv a na TTnnpll a THirr nf tViw
jfielrtom blamed individually;
as a
rule we overlook their shortcomings
and place odium upon the entire
Institution .of courts.
An Alabama jury last week heard
evidence against a prominent plant
er charged with holding a negro
In peonage. The case was tried
before Judge William B. Sheppard
In the federal court, and when the
jury reported that it was unable
to agree onfa verdict Judge Shep
pard'n indignation broke loose. He
declared the jury's action a travesty
on justice, hinting broadly that jur
ors bad carried their prejudices and
petty personal differences Jnto the
Jury room with them.
"While we Hear so much of the
corrupt judiciary on every hand,"
Judge Sheppard. said, "do you not
think It behooves every juryman to
consider any case brought before
him in an impartial light, and to ren
der his verdict to the best of hla
abilty, exercising the functions God
gave him to their fullest capacity?"
After hearing Judge Sheppard's
scathing rebuke and his opinion that
the evidence was 'more than ample
to convict, the defendant arose vol
untarily and pleaded guilty to the
charge, despite tho fact that two for
mer juries had failed to reach a
verdict in his case.
It may be that Judge Sheppard'
should not have expressed his opin
ion about the defendant's guilt, but
courts are established for the en
forcemcnt of justice., Three juries
had disagreed, and yet the defend
ant voluntarily . pleaded guilty. Jus
tice depends upon the jury as much
as upon the judge.
BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS
J
ACKSON county will vote next
Tuesday on the Issuance of
$500,000 of road bonds for the
construction of Oregon's first
link in the Pacific highway. Thus
Jackson county voters have the op
portunity to set the pace In Ore
gon's race with progress.
If the lrtmds are authorized, 48
miles of paved highway will be con
structed in the immediate future.
This stretch of good road will con
nect with tho California Btate high
way on the south; pass through
Medford, Ashland and Central Point,
thus adding five miles to the total
mileage; cross the Siskiyou moun
tains at easy grades, and terminate
at the Josephine county line. But
this terminus can be only temporary,
for once Jackson county sets the
example, Josephine and other coun
ties will fall In line. Good roads
are built by money, but they are
multiplied by good example.
The Jackson bonds should carry
by a large majority. Two years
ago that county, by a majority of
four to one, voted $1,500,000 in
bonds, but the proposed issue was
invalidated because there was no
enabling act. The legislature re
moved this handicap, and now Jack
son is again to the front. Good
roads mean something more than
talk in Jackson they mean actually
improved highways, greater prosper
ity for the farmer, larger growth for
the cities and villages, more wealth
in the county.
It is noteworthy that Jackson
county has combined sound financ
ing with other progressive ideas.
The bonds are to be serials; $100,
000 will bo paid at tho end of 10
years, and the remaining $400,000
will be retired In equal installments
at five year intervals. Thus the
bonds will all be paid during the
life of the improvement, Interest will
bo saved, and no excessive burden
will fall upon taxpayers at the end
of 3 0 years.
The present highway over the
hiskiyou mountains nas a 33 per
cent grade In places; grades on the
new highway will not exceed six per
cent. The new road will pass
population, and through each town
ship except two. Jackson county
was given 25,000 population by the
census enumerators; the new high
way will serve 19,000 of the peo
ple who live either directly on or
close to It.
In the past much money has been
wasted on roads. That day Is pass
ing. Jackson county's new high
way will bo constructed under di
rection of the state highway en
gineer. Jackson taxpayers will get
value received for the bonds they
vote, and the dividends returned
by good roads are tremendous. They
exceed bank stock dividends.
It may be that residents living
off the new highway will vote
agiftnst the bonds. If they do they
will vote against their own inter
ests. Jackson county has been
spending an average of $100,000 a
year in taxes on roads, and the
greater part of the money has gone
on the highway it Is now proposed!
to permanently Improve. Remove
that money sink and annual taxes
can go toward Improvement of out
lying roads. The money will go
there, for one good road will de
mand other good roads. That has
been the experience everywhere.
Jackson county Is to be congratu
lated on her ambition to become Ore
gon's southern gateway. The 53 miles
of improved highway should bo com
pleted before the San Francisco ex
position opens. isitors rrom an

With regard to tho perforated

it will bo in order before long to
dispense with the skirt and wear
the perforations.

August Rebel.
Portland, Or., Aug. 28. To tho Editor
or"The Journal On August 16, 1913, the
body of August Bebel was cremated.
On August 16, 1913, thousands of men,
women and children bowed In silent
humble" respect before a soul whose
lights Illuminate the four corners of
the earth, thdugh all that's mortal of
him has passed away. On August 16.
1913. there was burned Into the pages
of twentieth century history an un
eraslble program of economic endeavor
which thousands will pray for, work for
and achieve to. The leader of this pro-
gram is no more, but, as witn an move
ments In the world's' history which are
founded upon honest scientific thought,
humanity will confirm It, though It must
wade through Ignorance, persecution and
prejudice in Its travels onward.
How much this age owes to the great
Bebel, too few of lis can understand.
Endowed by the Creator with the truest
interpretation of the Socialist heart, its
every beat laden with the sorrows of
some wronged soul, his every thought
-being the altering of our modes of dis
pensing Justice tn order to preserve
virtue, create love, instill endeavor,
broaden education, harmonize produc
tion, distribution and Its fruits, this
leader of mankind, made of his Ufa the
barometer of the Ills that beset the
human family. In order that the world
may read the true Rlgns and understand.
Woman, pure chaste woman, can well
ereet tq him. In her purest heart, a
castle of reverent and God-like love.
For his heart ever went out to her un
complaining Inferior position In the
body politic.
"Every child that Is born. Whether boy
or girl, Is a welcome addition to the
community. Inasmuch as the, community
sees In the child a continuation of It
self, Its own prolonged existence. It Is
therefore a matter of c'ouise that It ac
cepts the duty of .providing for the new
being to the fullest extent of Its powers.
Accordingly, the mother that suckles the
child is the first object of Its care."
So spoke August Bebel. Childhood,
womanhood, motherhood these were
ever his greatest concern In life. Polit-U-h1.
Industrial and soclui Independence,
these sho.uld be woman's. Marriage, he
held, should be frcrrt from the restraints
of necessity on the part of the female
and sex grattflration on the part of the
male, thus minimizing the work, of the
divorce courts. Mothers' pension acts,'
woman suffrage, living wage and hours
of recreation for the female worker-
these are only milestones In the path
towards an Inception of he Bebel" pro
gram. Martyr for humanity, bis was the
philosophy that prison wallB could not
Inclose, his was the truth that asserted
Itself when the powers that rule sought
to crush It.
The mysteries of life and death are
solved at the passing of a great soul,
such as his. In life, his was an open
hook which we all love to peruse and
belleva In; In death he Is truly laid to
rest In the most blessed of all resting
places the minds,' hearts, souls, and
lovlrig memories of his fellow working
men. QUEENIE GLADDEN.
The Other Side.
Vtondburn, Or.. Aug. 30. To the Edi
tor of The Journal I see in your Issue
of the twenty-ninth a letter written by
a Mrs. A. M Watson with regard to
conditions of things in western Canftda.
It is quite evident that Mrs. Watson has
had a different experience there from
a majority, of others who are living
there. J hav been there,- but n no
land nor hva I any interests there
whatever, but I feel I must do justice
to tliiit great countrA, where so many
people are making wealth and raising
up their families in a country where they
are not laboring on paupers' fages as
they ore here In many places. Think
of a man with a family here working
(if he can get work) for $2 a day, less
2 cents for Insurance, leaving a hnlam-e
of $1.98, while men t know well her.'
are harvesting ifor $1.50 per day an
board. Who knows of such wages ovp
there? They are more like $3 and fl
per day. I saw a lady yesterday at
Oregon City who hps a boy working in
Alberta and he gats 3.50 and his board.
When you work there you get something
for your toll something worth while
and if you have something to sell, you
get a price for It. You don't have to
give It away. I know boys .who went
to Saskatchewan and Alberta -fom the
cast a few years ago and they are
wealthy men today. 1 know men right
here In Woodburn who cannot support
their families as they would wish to,
who go over there about half of each
season to get ahead. Instead of $2.50 a
day they get $5 there. Of course. It's
cold In winter; but it is dry cold and
dues hot eeem to hurt one so much ba
the damp, rainy winters here. We have
a good climate here, but climate will
not support a family. I'm sorry to hear
of Mrs. Watson's misfortunes, but of
for It, uh it happens here sometimes.
Ro far rg the scarcity of money Is con
cerned, they know very little of that
over ihore. 'Fhey handle far more
money there than here, so far as the
farmers are concerned, for they do busi
ness on a larger scale. When Mrs. Wat
sou says that mony there have not had
a good crop for four or five years, she
forgets thil( they hava had good crops
there for many years. I receive letters
from friends there frequently who keep
mo well posted. ,R. F. KILL A BY.

COMMENT ON
From Collier's.
The tragl-comedy. "William Sulzer
A Man of the People," has now been
produced by Manager Charles F. Mur
phy, the heavy. Before the curtain
fell, the audience's only question wi
Would Murphy and his creatures stab
Sulser in full sight of all, or would
they give him a chance to expire more
gracefully off-stage? Tammany mado
and unmade the fallen hero. The mor
al of the piece Is, for the people:
Don't look to Tammany for your gov
ernors. For the Sulzers It is this:
Tammany Insists on Its enemies being
honest So long as Sulier "played the
game" bis weakness didn't matter.
After he had dared treat Boss Murphy
disrespectfully, they mattered very
much. Sulzer "rose from the ranks";
his father was somebody's German gar
dener. Now, men who rise from the
ranks to positions of high trust and
honor owe it to themselves and to hu
manity not to sink any faster than
they have come up. Their careers may
prove a great inspiration or the re
verse to other gardeners' sons. Thld
particular self-made man failed to
measure up to his opportunity. Ha
was nevir a big man; only a strutting
actor built for the "movies." His
studied suggestion of Henry Clay iin;
posed on no really good judges of
physiognomy and character. BUt blus
tering Bill Sulzer, who renamed the ex
ecutive mansion at Albany "the people's
house," and reeked with spectacular sim
plicity, win not bad at heart Though
hts democratic and progressive ten
dencies were as superficial as every
thing else, he was not exactly a hypo
crite." It is an unhappy business, and
one's predominant emotions are disgust
and pity; disgust at the Instrument of
Sulzer's ruin, the political machine
which personifies all that Is sinister In
New York's cbic life; pity for th j
well-meaning weakling. Had Sulzer 1
been a dangerously evil man, he would
have made his peace with Tammany In
time to save his skin in time, even,
to profit by momentary resistance.
Average citizens have not Joined In
stoning the lost leader, but they are
profiting by the object lesson. It Is
for Tammany, with Its grinning Mur
lhys and Frawieys and Levys, that an
Inner circle In hell Is being warmed.
"Sure, says Mr. Doolry, "th' bache

was in Portland,' and complained that
the first settlors, whose chilms they
Jumped, had not lived up to the law,
and that I had reported, adversely as
to. these first settlers, while a special
agent, and later as a private attorney
defended them. . That Is not true, .and I
trust you will, publish this statement.
I never defended a single settler against
whose claim I had made an adverse
report. No man can cite a record to
show jthat I did. Furthermore, 1 made
a general report while a special agent
stating that all the original Siletz set
tlers who took their claims for - their
own use and not for some timber com
pany should have their patents. That
report Is dated October J5, 1906, and Is
on file in. the general land office. I
stated that no human being could make
a farm out of those lands in three years,
and that the first crop of settlers were
better entitled to equitable considera
tion, having borne the early hardships
of building trails, roads, bridges, etc.,
than would be any second crop 'offset
tiers who would doubtless jump the
claims if the special agents, should pro
ceed against the first settlers.

and the Call, whk;h', whJl-J usually rep
resenting only Jopa. D. Spreckles, fre
quently showed spurts of independence.
For example, just after the fire of 1906,
two good newspaper men took charge
of the Call on a three year "policy con
tract." During that time they alone
were to determine the Call's attitude on
public questions. The famous graft in
vestigation rose, and these pew man
agers, for both policy and conviction,
took sides with most clear seeing and
disinterested people in San Francisco
they backed Heney. The Call did good
service until three weeks before that
election which- brought the graft fight
to a climax, At that dramatic point the
policy contratt expired, and Spreckles
promptly ordered the muckraking'
stopped. From that' time the Call lost
prestige.' Established newspapers are
harder tor kill than most people sup
pose. But one of their diseases is al
ways fatal "control." ,,And of that
slow, wasting complaint the Call died.
Every journalist understands that De
Young. In buying the bones of the Call,
wanted neither Its machinery nor Its
circulation. He wanted mainly Its As
sociated Press franchise. He knows that
so long as our oldest and best estab
lished press bureau runs under Its pres
ent rules, he and Hearst are the only
men who can publish. a morning news
paper In San Francisco. For you can
not conduct a newspaper, without tele
graphic news. The Associated Press Has
a monopoly of that commodity In the
morning field; and by their "rights of
protest" the owncrs of the Chronicle and
CaM francnlses can perpetually prevent
newcomer from - getting a franchise.
The layman will never know how many
evils of the press spring directly from
the Associated Press monopoly.
For unadulterated nerve you are re
ferred to the Hon. Eugene N. Foss, Mr.
Fobs Is governor of Massachusetts
Though originally a Republican,. He has
been elected to that office as a Demo
crat, and twice reelected. A year ago
last July Mr. Foss nourished hopes of
receiving the Democratic nomination for
president The delegates to the Balti
more convention received copies of his
biography, in which he was thus char
acterized:
"A true Democrat . . . whose polltl
cal advancement has marked the gains
of the Democratic party. ... A genu
Ine, dynamic, progressive Democrat, a
lifelong advocate of Democratic princl
pies, and a courageous and unselfish
champion of Democratic policies . . .
a maker of Democratic voters In Re
publican territory."' . ,
Having vigorously stacked the tariff
policy of the Democrat! majority in
congress, Mr. Foss might, one would
think, be eliminated from this year's
gubernatorial contest in Massachusetts.
Not at all. The only difference Is: Mr.
Foss wants the Republican nomination.
"The sun should shine for us Republi
cans now. says Mr. Foss, 'for the
clouds are really rolling away." Mr.
Foss ought to know. He considers him
self the one and only,Bay State barome
ter. But can the wooliest west offer
anything to match this man for cheek?
Before Foss, of Massachusetts. Kansas
hangs her head In shame; Missouri
blushes with modesty; Oregon holds her
tongue. But there Is one point worth
remarking: Mr. Foss hasn't been nom
inated and won't be. .
YOUR MONEY
By John M. Oskison.
Here is a quotation from the late
James R. Keene, one of the most wll
ly known stock market speculators this
country has produced.
"No man has a right to speculate
unless he has the Instinct of a gam
bler and can't satisfy It In any othr
way. The few men that I have known
who have made money ey speculating
would have made Ihfihteiy more by
directing their energies In legitimate
channels. As for the thousands wh)
have lost money by speculating, tho
lesson is obvious."
I am not going to preach a sermon,
however short, against gambling. I
Just want to point out to the reader
of this little article who Is solicited
to take a chance in some far-off en
terprise that nine times In ten he is
asked to go into a speculation which
may be likened to a game played
against a professional gambler who is
using marked cards.
And that Isn't Intelligent 'gambling.
If you feel that you can afford to take
a chance with your money, why not
pick out home one In your own com
munity who has a plan for getting ricn,
and back him? If you . do that, you
will increase your chances of winning
many hundred per cent over your
chances if you fall for the siren tal'
of the promoter who wants to sell you
gold mine stock or the stock of a ba
nana plantation In Central America.
If you have In your bloody the gam
bling germ, remember that It can be
trained to become a very real help
In the development of your own com
munity. Perhaps you can find endugn
othera similarly Infected to under
take the building of an interurban
trolley line or a telephone line. In
both these' enterprises you will find
full scope, for your Instinct to gamble
and' the work is of a character to test
your' resourcefulness.
If your judgment has been good, you
Will find, after a time, hat the tele
phone line and the trolley line are need,
ed by some large company to make cer
tain connections. - Tou will have an
other period of pleasant excitement In
negotiating the deal.
, You see,' there are legitimate and
healthful ways of satisfying the gam
bUng instinct.'. Vv-, j;;'.. t

"When I was a boy I took juvenile

San Franciso, Bradley & Rulofsoa were
the photographers who had almost all
of the theatrical trade. They employed
SB men and were the leading, photogra

matter, of the whole coast. Not only
did I have a love for the stage, but l
loved to draw, so I was naturally at
tracted by the art. of photography. I
got a position with Bradley & Kolof
son, so I changed my allegiance from
the stago to a different form of art.
"While I was still playing Juvenile
parts In the old California theatre I
met David Belasco. He did not suc

parts. Later he was made stage mana-'
ger of the Baldwin theatre, on Market
street, in San Francisco, He made aiv
instant success, and you know he has
climbed to the very -top of the ladder.
"Having known intimately many of
the actors in the old days of 40 year
go at San Francisco, I have kept track
of them. Some who hoped to be stare
of the first magnitude twinkled for a
brief season In obscurity and have dis

has been rung down, while others are

themselves the Jolly Corks, from mas

"In the early '80s I took part in a
good many of the amateur plays put on
in Portland. When the Multnomah
club gave 'TheVJBabes in U 7oxjU,'
messenger boys were employed to stand
in line all night to be on hand to get
good seats. They put on another show
entitled 'Mr. and Mrs. Cleopatra,' These
shows were so -successful that Tommy
Getz, who worked for the Portland Elec- 4
trlc Light company, came to ma and
suggested that we write a play to
gether. We wrote a play, calling it 'A
Nlglit in Bohemia." We produced It on
March l!6. 27 and 28 in 197. It was a
great success. We gave it In the Mar
quam theatre under the auspices of th
Oregon Road club. Frank Hennssy,
WTeyer Marks Jr., Jack Kissel and many
others took part In it ' We gave It in
Seattle and Tacoma, and from there-we
traveled all over the United States. We
usually gave it under the auspices of
the Elks. In each town we secured a
local cast of characters.
"Photography has made wonderful

horse had all four feet off the ground.
Everybody laughed at him and said the
horse would fall If all his feet wer Ui

Bradley & Rulofson's and asked for th

Mybrldge out. Stanford explained whit
he wanted a horse taken in motion;
Mybrldge was an excellent chemist, ao.
he made some special plates, very sen

fence beside the track, lie put six cam-1

He divided bis fence into six parts and
focused a camera at each different part,
He attached silk threuds to the center
of each section of the fence. He had

Senator Stanford drove onei of hH
horses past at full speed. As the horse,
