ROSEBURG REVIEW FRIDAY, APRIL, 15, 1887. STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION. W. It. TAT LOR AO A IS. There was very strong presurc brought to beariripon the last legislature to control and regulate the charges for freight and passenger traffic on the railroad lines in the state. Several crude bills were introduced but serious objections were made to each and so all were killed. The result was that a bill to establish a commission to thoroughly investigate and digest the subject of railroads, their charges and tho equities between them and the people was passed, duly signed by the Governor and became a law. Gov. Pennoycr has put the measure in op cration by appointing ex-Senater Sla- tor, as the democratic member and Tlon. George Waggoner of Benton county as the Republican member, and J.R.N. Bell Esq, of The Review Clerk of the Commission. Senator Slater stands among the foremost leaders of his nartv. and is an able dignified gentleman, who has rendered many important services to the State of Ovegon and always j-ei formed his duty well. His selection by the Gov ernor is one that is universallv en dorsed.. Mr. Waggoner, his colleague, was once a member of the legislature from his count', and is spoken of by those who know linn ln;.st, as every way qualified fur the position, b ung honest, and competent aid of those sturdy principles, neaded in such a position. Of Mr. Bell, the clerk, as Ids duties aro not executive, but sim ply ministerial, and as he is the editor of The Review, modesty prevents any extpiidt-d notice, but The Review t kt'S advantage of his temporary :-b sence lo say, that the duties of his po sition will be thoroughly performed to the very best of his abilities. The law is now on trial, and it is to be hoped that justice will be accorded both to tho railroads and to the people. aor. evoese semple. Maxv suppose that the appoint ment of the editor of this paper would work a change in its present manage ment, which is by no means the case. The Reivew will continue business in the old stand under its present management in every particular, ex cept we are pleased to announce that we have been fortunate in securing the able assistance upon the cditoral staff of Hon. S. b . loetl. c pro pose to make The Review tjie best medium of news, crisp and racy, the best means of advertising, the edi torials equal to auy upon the leading subjects of the day, and a family news paper, clean and pure, fit for the cen ter table of the most moral and fastid ious. As vou see. our advertisins col umjns are crowded week after week fori the reason that we carry the lead ing subscription list in all the country, except the Jacksonville Times. The appointment of Hon. James H, Slater, .of Union City, and Hon. George A. Waggoner, of Cervallis, railroad commissioners, will meet with pretty general approbation. Mr. Sla ter has represented Oregon in both houses of Congress. Mr. Waggoner was a member of the Oregon legisla ture in 1S80. Hois a republican of the straight kind, but recognized as a fair and able man, Nobody who knows him will doubt his honesty or good judgment. This commission will doall the good it is possible for it to do under the law creating it. People need not expect great things, however, for the law is exceedingly limited in the powers it confers. Benton Leader. .1 Itrlttge at Winston's. The county court has authorized the publication of a notice that bids will be received until April 30th, for the erection of a bridge at Winston's Ferry. It is estimated that the bridge can be built for 812,000 and it is of great importance to a large section of coun try. Douglas county is making com mendable progress in the way of roads and bridges and the good work should be pushed ahead as fast as the finances of the county will permit. The Re view heartily endorses the action of the court and trusts that such plans and bids will be received as to warrant the construction of the biidge. Ed. Review: I will once more no tice the rumblings that have eminated from my friend Genger's pen. If . he has failed to get the prohibition ques tion properly on my mind, he has not failed to convince me that he likes his bitters. I admire him for his honesty, but pity his judgment. He says, is it wrong to sell anything which the law gives you license to sell. Law is not always right nor is it always justice, of course it is right to sustain our laws and right to repeal them and make better ones when the people demand it, and this is our object now, and we are laboring to induce the people to think on this subject and reasen from cans to effect remembering that "rea son is a blossom of the spirit and its fragrance is liberty and knowledge." I do not wish to convince anvone that my views are correct, but urge them to be true American citizens, be true to themselves, work for humaaity which is the noblest work that man can do. Presume you once believed that human slavery was right because the law sanctioned it, people preached it, proved it by the Bible so they thought, and still it was a crime for all of that. But you have been compelled to see it different and will see prohibition in a correct light when the car of progress runs over yon. It appears that money ir. your stomach prompts you to d- everything you do. J udging frooi your epistle you are so worried about saloon men loosing their money, I tirnily believe that nil prohies would be willing and ivadv to pay the saloon keeper, brewerymau and distiller every cent that they will lose if the amend ment passf-s provided they will pay for all wrongs that has been committed through whisky. You say if peoide "onnuit crimes, punish thein for it. They have been trying that find have come to the conclusion that it is barbar ianism instead of Americanism. Some parents used to think it was right to whip their children out of reason but they are finding out that there is a better way. How much better it would be to prevent crime man to punisu the oitender after it was committed, and much cheaper to build school houses and other houses of reform than to build jails, peniten- tiarys and gibbets. Why was it that the great Nazerene was crucified? Be cause ho gave them better law3, and they like you, thought he wanted to take away their liberties Thousands of men have died because they dared to do right and think for themselves. Yes, every age ha3 had its reformers, and every age has had its martyrs. The great heart of the universe never calculated that any two should see alike, if we could it would destroy our individuality, bu. when we all arrive at universal truth, if such a thing is possible, thon there can be no difference in views. But you complain that I don't stick to the point, I know it but you have failed to give any in stance where whisky has ever bene fited mankind. The harrow case is not satisfactory. Friend Thiel sent a bomb shell at me but 1 assure him that it has not harmed me, but it looks strange that ne snoum throw his influence against tae amendment when he does not drink intoxicants, use tobacco, drink coffee or tea, that is if I have been in formed correctly. If he thought these things could do him good he surelv would use them and if they do him no good, how can he expect other people to be benefitted by their use. I fear that he is viewing the question from a prejudiced standpoint. Because a prohi leader did not come up to his moral standard he condemns a principle. It looks to me like verv bad taste to say the least of it, but some men are too bashful to talk about men un til they die, and there was no point in it anyhow. It is a government's ob. ject or should be to benefit everyone. "There is a social sovereignty which is just as obligatory as individual sover eignty. Some accept the doctrine that iudividual sovereignty covers and com prehends all. That a man is allowed by nature to practice and carry out his individual preferences and decisions at hi3 own cost, but the doctrine is but lalf the story of man's relation to so ciety. It is logical and true but true President Cleveland has appointed Eu-, gene Semplo Governor of Washington territory. Mr. Semple is a Democrat, a gentleman and a statesman. A very solid and commendable combination by the way. His appointment has been received with great satisfaction by the citizens of that territory, and to his old time friends in Oregon it is gratifying news. Mr. Semplo was the editor of the old Herald of Portland in 1866 and has been a consistent Deni ocrat all the years of his manhood. The Review congratulates Mr. Sonr pie, the people of Washington terri tory and President Cleveland. M When we appeal to people of sense for we know you will not fail to appreciate what, wc e m m e me m Tteath of Win. Strong. Judge Wm. Stron? of Portland died at his residence iii that city on Mon day last. His name is liuked with the pioneer history of Oregon, as a terri tory and state. As has been truly 8aid, our old pioneers are going fastly to their last resting place, and we are constantly reminded that in the midst of life we are in death. J udge Strong was a man of stainless character, a warm and generous friend, and in the highest sense of the word, a gentleman. He leav3 a name and gentle memory that will be cherished b. tin entire people of the state VII lave to offer you What we want to talk to you "or is simply to tell you of the jJ uMArJ -Taylor trav jSTc v WONDERFUL EXCITEMENT!

That Hiiulle has become stench iii the nostril.-; of the American people. County l'lnancna. In our report of the county finances last week, it was stated that the coun ty was out of debt, while the exhibit showed an indebtedness of 88,000. It is but necessary to state that after the report was made, the sheriff turned in over $9,000 of taxes. This with tho delinquent tax-list, will place some $4,000 over indebtedness in the treas ury by June. . v5." , - r""r ij 3CT' W W. E. BENJAMIN, REAL ESTATE AGENT. .

It is the star dy, earnest, aggressive honesty of the President that endears him to the peo pie. Adam Forepacgh, the great circus man, says the day of colored posters lias gone by, and hereafter he will give all his advertising to the newspapers. We grasp Adam's fore paw on that proposition. As clerk ef the railroad commission our editor in chief will devote; his full time to the work required. The i f sponsibilitics of this office are of a crowing nature, and will increase with age.

Social sovereignty is larger and grander, more perfect, just as the ocean is larger and grander than the springs on the mountain side." Individuals must purify themselves before society can be purified and really society is re sponsible for all crimes and must point out tho re-ncdy. History has shown us that men in the decline of life have not been our reformers but stick to their old customs, and think it wrong to advo cate new ideas. It suits mo better to throw my influence, in a good cause, if I have any influence, than to help push men into drunkard's graves, because they haven't the power to resist temp tation. It looks like wisdom is saying in thundering tones to sweep the temp tation from them. W. B. Taylor.
