THEY ARE SLOW. We have no desire to do Port land business men an injustice, but to call them "slow" is put ting it mildly. There are good business hustlers among them, it is true, but it seems that as a class they belong to the good old times of a generation back -when men had an abiding faith in the assertion that "all things come to him who waits." It is -a common complaint among coun try business men that if they re quire a hurry-up order filled they must send to some city other ihan Portland. This is not as it should be. The geographical location of Portland is such that her wholesalers en joy a vast field for business. There is no reason why they . -should not make of Portland one of the leading wholesale cities of the coast, and they will some -day, but it seems they are in no hurry about it. If they would they could bring that time when Portland will be a great metrop olis twenty years sooner than it will come in the "course ot hu jman events." To do this the business men of jthe Rose City must so conduct their affairs that it will not be possible for a man to state truth fully that if he has a hurry-up -order he is obliged to send it to a -business man who lives in a city -farther away than Portland. Such :a statement is not unusual at the present day, but the signs in evidence of a change for the bet ter incline one to a state of hope fulness. "WORTHY EVERY TRUST. - ""Man's inhumanity to man" is the greatest of all causes for ihuraan suffering and degrada tion. How slow we are to do justice to our fellows, after all. How often is merit overlooked -and.'genius ridiculed. Few m'en of creative minds have escaped persecution at the hands of des picable bootlickers. The con temptible yellow journals pro vide ways and means for an as sault upon the characters of good men. As an illustration of scant justice done to a good man by his fellows and the assistance provided detractors by sensa tional journals one has but to refer to the first accounts of the Thaw-White murder. Stanford -White was referred to by the Journals in question as a mon ster, a fiend who preyed upon in nocent women, a man who main tained noc one harem in New York City, but three. In the vilest possible terms was his name assailed after he was cold in death as the result of a bullet from the revolver of Harry K. Thaw. Thi shame of it all! What a pity such attacks are allowed when there is r.ot an act in the entire life of White to warrant a single slurring remark from any body. In a recent i?sue o? Col lier's there appeared an article frjm the pen o? Richard Hard ing Davis:, one of the best known writers in the United States, in which the writer, who was an intimate friend of White, made a ;noble defense of the character of the man who was sd ruthlessly .sho!; down by Thaw. Mr. Davis cited many acts of "benevolence on the part of Stan ford White, provinc: that he was .a true friend o ' : ordinate -and distressed, L - . men or women, rich or po y. He was a man of genius and of such a temperament that, according to Mr. Davis, it would have been an impossibility, for him to have were credited him by the -yellow jour nals throughout the land. As investigation of the case pro ceeds one charge after another against White's character has fallen to nothingness. And Thaw, the man who kill ed White, was first a "spoiled oy" and later a dissipated young man, who, from all ac counts, married a woman as dissi pated as himself. And this wo man is supposed to have been the cause of the murder. From latest accounts it seems there was no cause merely a pretext. On account of the power of money it is hard to foretell with an assurance of accuracy what the outcome is to be, but it seems that in view of justice Thaw should hang. Richard Harding Davis has penned a noteworthy article in the vindi cation of the character of his deceased friend, Stanford White. STRICT JUSTICE. For years it has been commonly asserted that if a man had money enough money there was small reason for him to fear the law. An observance of affairs bears the assertion out in most in stances, at least such has been the case in the past. However, at present there is a wave of re form sweeping over the country, and it is likely to result in meas- ureable good. When the general public arises for the endorsement of certain principles something is quite likely to happen. The pendulum of the times is swinging farther and farther toward a general re form movement. It will, in all probability, be swung beyond the point of reason, when we may expect that it will swing back The proper thing to do is to take advantage of all that it is just and proper for the masses when the great pendulum of human goodness swings in the direction of reform. It has until recently seemed that the proletarian would suffer for an offense that the wealthy plebeian could commit and escape the penalty. This miscarriage of justice in our courts has for long been the cause of bitter comment on the part of the masses. Here in Oregon in con nection with the land fraud cases it is a notable fact that the prose cutor, Francis J. Heney, has made the greatest effort to bring the wealthy man to book, while, where he has been deserving, the poor man has been shown the mercy of the court. This is a healthy sign and prom ises well for justice in the years to come. The proper"way to do is to have one punishment for a given oilense and see that it is meted the offender on just lines, be said offender of high or low degree, rich or poor. We learn from the Portland Telegram that an Oregon pioneer "walked from the Mississippi river to the Pacific coast on foot. " Had he walked that distance on any other part of his anatomy he would perhaps be remembered as a freak in a dime museum instead of a respected pioneer Board of Equalize tion.

Perhaps it might seem otherwise, But really it is true. I know how business should be done And how to run the state ; Such things but trifles are to me, For I'm a graduate. My double jointed, bulging brain My head will hardly hold, Because I know three times as much As men three times as old. I am the engine and the steam. The wheels and running gears. I don't see how the world got on Without me all these years. I am the one that tells the moon When it should shine at night; I'm first aid to most everything That is not running right; I know when cyclones should be pick- - ed And how to tame the sea ; I'm wise to every caper, and x Men Bet their clocks by me. I know, if you will pardon me, The .ray the trust to smash, And how to trim the octopus And serve it np as hash ; The legislatures and the courts I call down while you wait, For, as I mentioned at the start. I am a graduate. Additional Local. Emil Price of Portland was a Corvallis visitor Saturday. Golda an 1 Paul Mamma of Monmouth are guests at the Ireland home this week.
