San Francisco has given the world an object lesson In the danger of the saloon in society. While the city Is In ruins and every thing In chaos, the saloon Is the only branch of business which has been ab- . . . l.jj t . . ' ... I aolutely forbidden by the authorities , . . . . to open. Every other line of trade 1 . . . , i has been allowed to open Its doors I loon being a menace to society Is for bidden to spread Its disorder on the already disorganized situation. It Is strange to think that civilized government will tolerate n business which mu.n be suppressed whenever there is the slightest disorder. Why are butcher shops, elnthlns stores, bakeries and harness -hips allowed to open for business on ihe ruins of their old establishment!!, hlle the saloon Is forbidden to resume? Is thin not sufficient argument for any j-en.-lble man. th-t tne country is cowardly to license u?h an Institu tion? If the saloon Is a. dangerous thing In Kan Francisco under present conditions, Is It not also a menace to Fan Franci.-co in peaceful and orderly times? The saloon costs more in criminal expemes than It returns In licenses. AKTFIl IIOOSEVin.TS SCALP. The democratic members of the T'nWo.l Utfitnu Uiimtf hlll'f flltt be- trayed the president In the railroad rate bill fight. All the attempt to cast discredit upon the president In the matter have been made by repub lican senators, who desire to defeat Iloosevelt In his rate legislation and are willing to go to any lengths to do It. . i v,. : Tillman has faunht a faithful fight. , He ha carried out the task assigned him like a man. It Is the president's wn party Aldrlih, Chandler, Ill kins and the railroad influence, which Is bringing him Into unfavora ble public prominence on the rate bill. I ,l.n. omimnt tn nnvthltll? there " ... . . ,,, heavals scheduled for the republican members of congress and the republi can party over this rate legislation, that has ever taken place in the Unit ed States. The railroad senators are deter mined ma. nooseven, oy w. ation of the democrats, shall not pass the rate bill in the present form. They are determined to entangle the presl - dent In some compromise to not only destroy the eff?t of rate legislation, but which will at r -;:t his political "ham strings" for nil practical pur poses In the futu.e. The friends of Cic president on the other hand, have d termlned to fight the railroad Influe 1 -?s to the bitter ,nd. there pro-ni to be a fight that will be a f'nht bef ire this matter If It d'M'a not split the party In twain from end to end.

STATEMENT XI. 1 XO JOKE. The democratic candidates for the legislature In Umatilla county have signed statement Xo. 1 without equiv ocation or evasion. Every one of them has pledged himself to vote for the people's choice for United States sen ator at the coming session of the leg islature, regardless of personal pref erences. T I T ....... I. T 1 I . .. J 1 il .Mjifaiiiuii uuunic 1 cieiieu uj the people every democrat elected to the legislature from Umatilla county will vote for him for the United States senate. The pledge taken by the democrats has no string to It. They did not sign It with the understanding that It meant the vote at the primary elec tion, nor that It meant tne candidate having the highest democratic vote for senator, but without reserve and ( democratic candidate signed the , pledge and will live up to its provis ions. i With the exception of C. A. Barrett, i , the republican candidates have failed I to grant the iieople the privilege of selecting the United States senator. The other candidates of lh!3 party reserve the right to deadlock the leg islature and throw the state into the perennial confusion and disorder If the "people's choice" does not happen i to suit them. This Is the one overshadowing issue In this campaign. It means that either the people are supreme or the polltl- cal party Is supreme. It means that popular government shall triumph or I that boss rule ahall continue to proa ! tltute the state of Oregon, despite her past experiences. LOVE IX TIM: LAND OF THE SLAV It simply needs a look Into the family relation of revolutionist Gor- ' ky to make it certain that the Amerl 1 can mind Is not capable of under : standing Russian morals or the pecu ! liarlties of genius, says the Memphis ' .ews-Sclmltar. I This Is granting that Gorky is a genius and worth, while In this coun- I try. where a foreigner is an Idol one I day nnd forgotten the next. ' While hysterical women of America i were weeping over the fact that Gor I ky was living with Mrs. Andreleff, I and hotel keepers were becoming hos- tile, what was going on in Russia? j Nothing that had anything to do with the Gorkys. The Novgorod sew ing circle had passed no resolution of sympathy for the abandoned wife and, least of all, was the real Mrs. Oorky disturbed- She is Mrs. Catherine I'lesnkori- Gorky, living at Nlshni Novgorod, on the Volga. Gorky abandoned her three years ago, but she always called on him when she was In St. Petersburg. When Gorky was 111 and went to Fin land his wife followed him, although the actress, Mrs. Andreleff, did not abandon him. Mrs. Andreleff Is the wife of a fa mous writer, who Is also Gorky's friend. This did not prevent Gorky from making love to Mrs. Andreleff, and her husband has never been op posed to such a combination of love Gorky, Andreleff and i the latter's wife were often seen to gether at banquets In St. Petersburg. AH of which proves that America Is a long ways from Russia and that we have a lot to learn or unlearn before we can appreciate the subtleties of life In the land, of the Slav. ,nat Mrfc Jef. feriKm Dayi,, who was thought to be dynK a few days ago, will recover, '.They consider that the crisis Is past.

Fielder, a reader for the New Tork publishing house of the Century company. Is In Portland on a recreation trip trough the . western states, says the Oregon Daily Journal. According to Mr. Fielder the "litera ture of the next decade, especially fic tion, will be dominated by western writers and will depict life In the western states, v "Though there have been a multi tude of novels published dealing with different phases of western life," he said, "I do not believe that the west ern country has yet found Its true In terpreter. Writers heretofore have localized their work. Some have written of the Wyoming cowboy, oth ers of Arizona, others of Alaska. When they begin to generalize the wpst will receive Its due. There are millions of good stories nntold in Ore gon alone. Yet to be told well they must be written by men and women who know whereof they write, not by those who have made a flying trip through the west and Imagine they have caught the true western atmos phere. The work of such writers l generally overdrawn, as Is . at once noted by the perusal of novels of western life. There are a few writers like Stewart Edward White. Jack London and Rex E. Beach whose work has great value because they have caught the atmoHphere uncon sciously In that It lias been a part of their life. . . "We have often wondered' wh there were not more writers who took for the field the north we?tern coun try. Here you have the efrarm of a California added to the realism of a country foremost in commerce. In manufacturing and In big endeavor. There is a good field In the north west that has not been touched as yet, and the publishers are waiting inr some one to toucn it. nut it muni be some one who Is familiar with the country." SAX FR ANCISCO'S I ATE. With the wreck of her shattered1 glory, . Desolate, dire, completer With her landmarks grhn and hoary Strewn at her bleeding feet; With the golden fruits nf doing Undone In a single day; With the madden'd fates pursuing The butt of their ghastly play With misery dark and fearful Borne upon every breeze; With her children wan and tearful Clinging around her knees, While famine leers at the portal And misery stalks within. She turns with a will Immortal Her renaissance to begin. Here's strength to the new-born city! Here's hope to the valiant throng! The world's great throb of pity Is turned to applauding song. On! On!

Her husband became keeper of the Santa Barbara lighthouse In IMS, and when he died In 1867, Mrs. Williams took up his work and con tinued It until recently, when forned to resign her post on account of the infirmities of old age.

Its driving wheels are of the maximum size, and the stroke cannot be In creased. It cannot be safely run longer than 150 miles with a train, and It must eventually take a back seat for the electric-gasoline power. The latter is practically unlimited In development. Gasoline engines are now built of 1600 horse power, and j It may not he many years before heavy trolns nre pulled by these en gines. The self-contained car. by which I mean one which supplies Its own power as It travels, seems to be the Ideal car of the future. The Idea, now In Its Infancy, may be expanded In a few years, until long trains are pulled Instead of a single car. ... The self-contained car Is here to stay. It will be Improved and devel oped from time to time until It dis places the steam ana irouey systems. Requiring stops only to supply Its supply of gasoline, these cars can run 100 or 300 miles, effecting nn enorm ous saving In locomotives. At present two engines nre required to run be tween Chicago and St. Louis. The electric sr.snll'ic tar will make the run from one arreat terminal to the other, cutting the number of locomo-j IJ James A.

The steam railroads of this country, where paralleled by the trolley Inter urbnns are compelled to meet the com petition. They are turning to the self contained car as their means to the end. If the trolley companies had been wise, they would not have In vited this warfare nnd competition. They should have avoided the right of way of the steam roads and built up new business Independent of the steam roads. It would hnve been simple matter for them to diverge from the steam lines and develop oth era In favorable localities. By this policy they would have found co operation from the steam roads in stead of enmity. It Is now a war to the death. tnuiMMM' Wool Shipments. Indicative of what the railroads are handling In the way of bales of wool this season from Utah. Wyoming and Idaho. It Is stated that a single firm that of Elsemnn Bros., of Boston, has already purchased nnd partly shipped 18.000.ii00 pounds of wool. The aver age price paid for this was 21 cents, which means that the neat sum of 33. 7S0.000 has been paid to the wool- growers In this section .by one firm alone. ; oda i-'prlngs Chieftain.
