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

From the OAC.
Though I am but a modest J outh,
I know a thing or two.
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.
