MENACE OF THE SALOOX.
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.

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

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

kins and the railroad influence,
which Is bringing him Into unfavora

bill.

The railroad senators are deter

the rate bill in the present form. They
are determined to entangle the presl -

destroy the eff?t of rate legislation,

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.

WESTEHX FICTION WANTED.
Alan E. 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."

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! May thy dauntless spirit
Survive the Ills of fate'
May a grander San Frnnclscn
Rise Queen of the Golden Gate.

EX1 OF THE LOCOMOTIVE.
The steam locomotive has reached
Its limit of development, says W. R.
Everett in the Railway Journal. 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

...
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.
