wanted Railway regulation.
WHAT HE DESERVED.
It appears that Free-Traders
and assistant Free-Traders who
were so desirous of an extra ses
sion of congress for the purpose
of revising the tariff have about
given up the idea. They , were
bold in their assertions that Pres
ident Roosevelt was with them.
They stated that it was "knbwn"
that the president was with them,
To use the term, "known," in
this connection may be carrying
the matter a trifle too far. In
many Quarters the opinion pre
vailed that President Roosevelt
inclined towards a revision of
the tariff schedule. But there is
a vast difference between an
avowod advocacy of a certain
thing and an "inclination" to
wards i .
President Roosevelt knows as
well as the next man that every
tariff law is in the nature of a
compromise to some extent. But
this is not all; should adjustment
or revision ever be undertaken it
must be on a basis of justice and
equality so far as the masses are
' concerned. There must be no
special concessions to this pr that
interest. Localities cannot be
considered in fixing the tariff
schedule; and herein lies the
troubled Locality interests are
dissimilar, throughout the United
States, and this renders the task
of equitable revision a most vex
ing problem. .
:It is far wiser to leave themat
ter of tariff revision alone. . Our
present system of schedule, tak
en as a whole, seems to fill the
bill about as nearly ' as anything
we are likely to receive for some
time, regardless of the amount
of legislation we' have for the
betterment of affairs. '
So far as President Roosevelt
is concerned, it does not appear
that tariff revision is the thing
uppermost in his mind." . He" is
generally willing to be controlled
, by the prevailing sentiment
, among leading republicans, but
if one were asked to state what
they considered the president's
heart most strongly set on the
amswer would be railway rate
- ," regulation."' He earnestly de
' sires that 'some means shall be
found for the correction of rail
way rate abuses; that the injus
tice of a system of rebates and
discriminations may be done
: away with.
This appears to have been
what he desired above all things.
He knows that the way to secure
, reforms is to make concerted ef
fort' for them one at a time. His
belief is that railway 'regulation
is the reform at present most
urgently needed in this' country.

Now and then Fate or Destiny,
or whatever else it may be con-1
sidered, steps in' with a check
mate which is about the right
thing. " Oft-times a series of cal
amities will befall some poor fel
low who is deserving of better
things and he receives little sym
pathy in his time of trouble.
Again there are times when de
cent people regret that a series
of calamities do not befall some
infernal cad:
Things worked out about right
in r ortland last week when a
smirking ape, who was under the
impression that he was pretty,
tried to torce nis attentions up
on a young lady to whom he had
J never been introduced and who
, tried to avoid him. A male friend
violent thing's to the masner."
Later on the would-be irresist-
able man found himself in court,
when Judge Hogue imposed cal
amity No. 2 upon him. This is
about as it should be. Nearly
everywhere one may go they will
come across just such disgusting
scamps who were either ill-bred
to start with, or who have for
gotten their early training. In
the case in question it is meet
to presume that henceforth a cer
tain young man will fight shy of
the goo-goo."

1 T IS NOT SUSPR1S1NG.
It is now very reliably reported
that when District Attorney
Francis J. Heney is throughwith
the prosecution of the land fraud
cases in Oregon that he will re-
y tire from this field of labor. In
this connection it is asserted that
-. President Roosevelt has urged
the prosecutor to take up similar
- cases in; other states, but that
Mr. Heney refuses :
; There is nothing surprising in
' District Attorney Henry's desire
to retire from the prosecution" of
these cases when through; with
those in : Oregon. V Indeed, few
; men after having such experi
. ences as Mr. Heney has been
through in this state,' would be
anxious to court similar expert
. ences in other ststes. It is not
. pleasant for any man to feel that
he may at any moment find him
" self the viccim ot a conspiracy
against his good name. ;:Ahd yet
this las been' Mr? :HeneyV ex
perience during nis brief 'sojourn
in Oregon. - - ,
JBeyond doubt when the land this purpese.
It is reported that the sum of
$SO,ooo will be available this
year for improvements on the
Upper Willamette and the yam-
hill riven This is well. The
question now arises as to how
laruptne Willamette the wave
of the $50,000 will reach? , The
tartner up a stream yon go the
more work you must naturally
expect to do in order . to..- keep
stream open lor boats or a uni
form draught register.
There is no use in attempting
to deny that river navigation is a
great thing tor residents of the
Willamette - valley. ; v But this
blessing could be made many
times what it is at present it some
arrangement could be made for
keeping the river open the year
around as tar np as .this city
Why can it not be done? Each
year sees thousands of dollars ap
propriated tor things of a public
nature that are not anything like
the , importance of keeping the
Willamette open for navigation
between Portland and Corvallis
twelve months of the year.
Let our people bestir them
selves ana taice steps to insure
tnat something oe done in our
section. It would be not only
matter 01 great importance in
the development pt . the country
tor boats to run irom Portland
uoryauis tnrougnout the year,
but it would be a fine thing in
the way pt advertising, this city
and county during the coming
summer. The Oregonian of Sat
urday contains the following :
Farmers of the Willamette
Valley will greet with joy the an
nouncement that $50,000 would
be available this year for the im
provement of the Yamhill and
Willamette " above - Portland.
While appreciating fully the
.great convenience and the mar
ket value of railroad transporta
tion, the people of the valley are
loyal to the .river and in having
it kept in a navigable condition
as a sure v guarantee against ex
orbitant freight charges on wheat
and other products that will bear
slow movement to market There
is something in the sight of a
steamboat, "loaded to the
guards"; coming with heraldry of
puffing steam and v sounding
whistle to her dock,' that awakens
commercial pride and " recalls
memories of the strenuous days
of Oregon's eariy ( transportation
era. It may be hoped ; that
the 4,Beautiful Willamette" ' will
long be kept in a condition - of
