"JVIKi.MENTS."
Recently San Francisco ministers
have been exploiting moral conditions'
In San Francisco and many sharp
criticisms on social life in the Bay
city have been made in her pulpits. ;
The newspapers defended the city
against the broad accusations of the
ministers and on the morning of the
earthquake, the San Francisco Call, '
In the very last issue of that paper!
which came from the press but two '
hours before the city was devastated. '
summed up moral conditions of the
city as follows: :
"Excellent and high-minded clergy
men in this city are discussing, rather
warmly, its moral status. All cities
need to have their morals medicated. '
San Francisco is no exception. Bishop
Hamilton, who lives and has spiritual
Jurisdiction here, has filed a descrip
tion of San Francisco, including an
archy and social vice a. among our
characteristics. Others, supporting'
his statements, express a fear of local
revolution and bloodshed.
"This is a very cosmopolitan city. :
We have here the good and bad of
many races and nationalities. We
blaspheme In many languages. Once
In a while a red fla is raised. But
let us be calm. In as many languages
as we use in blasphemy w- offer '
prayer ami praise. Out of the same
mouth come curses ami blessing. One
red flag does not make a revolution.1
It is u-ual!y at one end of a pole that'
has a fool at the other end. If the
fool gets fractious the police takes,
him In. j
"Sdn Francisco is a frank sort of
city. It displays Its vices. They are
not concealed. The city puts up no
false pretense to being a new Jerusa- 1
lem. Let us not be heavy-hearted. !
The vices we have roost high to be
Been, and their Jackdawlng may be
heard afar. j
"But our virtues tar overmatch '
them and make less display and not '
as much noise. If these good men '
are fearful and moved to flee, to what '
city of refuge will they take a ticket
to better themselves In moral sur-'
roundh.gs? Better stay with It and
work redemption, talking less." j
Since the calamity has visited the i
beautiful city many people now re-;
member the accusations and anathe- I
mas of the ministers and In whispered
horror declare that Is a "Judgment."
Geology sweeps away the "Judg
ment" fallacy. Reason, Intelligence,
experience, history cry out against It.
Volcanoes and earthquakes are us
natural as winds and the sunshine.
Lava flows and tremors nre natural
consequences of natural conditions.
Hecnuse a city, built over an earth
quake belt, Is shnken down by an un
usual agitation of foe crust of the
earth Is no sign of a "judgment" of
the Creator. Central Persia has been
torn nsunder by earthquakes, In the
far Interior where there were no In
habitants. Islands of the sea have
been scourged by volcanoes and have
been lost from sight, where not a sol
itary human Inhabitant lived to bo
"punished."
M.ST TKIl.M OF SCHOOL.
What has been the best year of
public school ever held In Pendleton,
is now drawing to a close. It Is best
for two reasons: First, because the
facilities were better and second, be
cause the better facilities gave greater
scope for organization and discipline.
There has been capable and conscl
entlous work In the past, but It was
, largely unavailing because of condl
tlons which surrounded It.
Prof. L. It. Traver, city superiu
tendent and his capable corps of
teachers have made history In the
public schools In this city during the
past year. The. record Is an Invita
tion to outside students to come here
to attend Pendleton punllc schools,
as well ns a keen Inducement for those
now in the schools to stay and finish
the excellent course begun.
The organization, discipline, meth
od pursued and maintained In the
schools have aided In building up the
best system of public schools In the
inland empire. This should bring 50
new families to this city for the begin
ning of the next school year. j
The addition of the commercial
course In which students may learn
shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping,
commercial law and other useful
commercial branches, should be a
strong Inducement to families seeking
a good school to come to Pendleton,
Aside from thl, the discipline, the
system of work which gets results
from each Individual stunent, the or
ganization which brings out n full at
tendance all the time are all vital
inducements to those desiring excel
lent school facilities.
Even better plans are in store for
next year. The faculty and the school
board are co-operating in every way
to add efficiency and force to the
schools and next year Pendleton will
open her schools better equipped by
trained teachers and new and com
modious rooms, than any other , pub
lic school in Oregon. Those who nre
thinking of seeking a location near a
good school nre urged to Investigate
Pendleton before looking elsewhere.
OKEATEST TRAFFIC CKXTFR.
A message from Mazntlnn, Mexico,
stating that a monthly line of steam
ships was to be established between
Salina Cruz on the Isthmus of Te
hauntepec and Portland, gives much
color to the assertion of the St, Louis
'Ilobe Democrat that the Gulf of Mex
ico will soon become one of the busi
est bodies of oceanic water In the
world. In referring to this matter
the ;iobe-Demncrat calls attention to
the fact that the principal railways
are looking for outlets on the gulf,
and says:
In all sections of the country the
leading railways are studying connec
tions with the fiulf of Mexico, the
work on the Panama canal naturally
suggesting that one of the world's
greatest centers of commercial activi
ty will be developed there. West of
the Mississippi the railroads have been
reaching vigorously in that direction,
and will be among the foremost to
get to the goal.
East of the river the same move
ment Is visible. One project alms to
approach Havana by binding together
the succession of Islands, until
through trains can enter Key West.
Another plan Is to combine a number
of Bmall Georgia roads In a line to the
gulf port, and the Alabama iron re
gion Is Interested In the gulf outlet.
Pensacola, Gulfport, Mobile, Xew Or
leans, Galveston and Port Arthur are
all awake on this large subject.
But more Important than the con
struction of any gulf railway system
Is the Improvement of the Mississippi
river, the great continental artery,
whose headwaters reach Into half the
states, and whose navigable tributar
ies sweep thousands of miles north,
eust ond west. Railroads running
gulfward will command a good looal
as well as through traffic, for they
traverse a region whose rich re
sources have as yet been lightly
touched. In the transportation of
bulky freights the river, with a per-

SAX FRANCISCO.
Serene, indifferent of Fate,
Thou sittest at the Western Gate;
Upon thy height, so lately won.
Still slant the banners of the sun;
Thou seest the white sons strike their
tents,
O warder of two continents!
Ami, scornful of the penco that files
Thy angry winds and sullen skies,
:
Thou ri rawest all things, small or
great.
To thee, beside the Western Gate.
O, lion's whelp, that hldest fast
In j ingle growth of spire and mnsH
I know thy cunning and thy greed.
Thy hard high lust and wilful deed,
And nil thy glory loves to tell
Of spacious gifts material.
Drop down. O fleecy fog. and hide
Iter skeptic sneer and all her pride!
Wrap her. O fog, In gown and hood
Or her Franciscan Brotherhood.
Hide me har faults, her sin and blame;
With thy gray mantle cloak her
shame.
So shall she, cowled, sit and pray
TIM morning hears her sins away.
Then rise, O fleecy fog, and mlse
The glory of her coming days.
Be ns the cloud that flecks the seas
Above her smoky nrgosles;
When forms familiar shall give place
To strnnger speech and newer face;
When all her throes and anxious fears
Lie hushed In the repose of years;
When Art shall raise and Culture lift
The sonsual Joys and meaner thrift,
And all fulfilled the vision we
Who watch and wait shall never see,
Who. In the morning of her race.
Toiled far or meanly In our place.
But, yielding to the common, lot
Lie. unrecorded and forgot.

RAILWAY F.ARXIXGS.
The debate on the railroad rate bill
In the senate has brought to the sur
face much valuable Information with
reference to the railroad mileage,
earnings and taxations of the railroads
In this country as compared with rail
roads of foreign countries. It Is a
fact not generally known that there
are mere miles of railroad In the
United States than there are In Eur
ope, Asia and Africa combined, and
nearly half the railroad mileage of
the w;oiid is confined to the United
States.
In 50 years the growth of the pres
ent railway system of the United
States has been marvelous. It reach
ed In 1850 only 9021 miles. According
to the report ef the Interstate com
merce commission of 1305, the totnl
operated railroad mileage In the
United States on June 30, 1904, was
21-2.243 mllcs.i
The gross earnings and Income of
the railroads in the United States for
that year were 2.18S,108.0S1, or
about J!, 000. 000 a day; locomotives
In ttie service of the railways, 4S,73;
totai number of cars of all classes, 1,.
7fS,R61.
The number of persons on the pay
rolls cf the railways of the United
States for that year was 1.390.121.
and the wages and. salaries paid to
railroad officers and employes for
1904 was J817.59S.810, nnd the par
value of the amount of railway capi
tal outstanding on June 30, 1904, was
1!. 21 24.679. representing the cap
italization of $64,265 a mile for the
railways In the United States and pay
ing an annual taxation of over $60,
000,000. When it is remembered that the
total railway mileage In European
Rusla Is 32,9117; In Germany, 2S.102
miles; Austria-Hungary, 2 .l3 1
miles; France. 26,950 miles; United
Kingdom, 22.634 miles; Japan, 4495
miles: China. 1176 ndles, and Africa,
15,560 miles, one can se how far the
United States leads the great nations
of the world In railroad mileage and
In Immense power and influence of
railroads.
