going to crowd the Orcffomanniteranccit sometimes
oui. -o one nas i:iKcn more
frequent occasion than we to give
'that newspaper'a reminder that it
was not always dealing fairly with
facts, but it seems to us that it is
to say the least, a little premature
for our journalistic friends to com
mence whooping. A paper like
the Oregonian is very hard to build
up (it is different from the reputa
tion of an individual): it is corres
pondingly hard to tear down. Its
prosperity is a plant of slow growth,
but when it is prosperous no one
individual can more than casually
injure it. A breath can destroy a
... ,..' i
mans reputation; not all the put-
ling of a thousand cheeks can de
stroy the life of a newspaper. "Wo
are of the opinion that the new
daily so much talked of can be a
great benefit to journalism and
to the State. It can act as a cor
rective to the sometime acidity of
the Oregonian. 1 1 can hare all
the news that that paper has with
out any corresponding flatulence
or personal eructation. It can, in
this way, be of real benefit even
to the Orcgoman by demonstra
ting that the pecuniary ability to
compass certain ends' in no way
involves the intellectual ability!
that justifies its possessor in loftily I
uiji '-'rt " n tuaivumi j (iuiviml
A great newspaper is like a well
cut diamond. It flashes a corus
cation oi light from every angle,
on every subject in its range. It
is bold, yet cautieus: 1 earless yet
gentle; candid yct'wary. It does
not sneer at every passing folly,
nor snub every attempt at forming
columns that it can not lead to
conflict. It is the embodiment of
pure democracy ; it passes on
through the several degrees of that
great domain where all men that
can reach it are equal the republic
of tho mind and having donned
that regalia has more power than
ever prince or potentate possessed.
Though this can not be done with
out money, yet money alone can
not do it. The personality of its
controlling spirit must be thegnage
by which it rises or falls. "We have
been reading the. Oregonian for
about two years, and while we find
much in its rlit'ti::l columns tlmt
is manly in utterance and ml in
efluoi, yet there is s much that
speaks of spite, jealousy and re
venge that we dn not wonder at
the universal glee that fills the
breasts of those whom it has scored,
when they think they sec a chance
to "get even;'" a chance rawly ne
glected by the average hnmui.
The Oregonian is now the lead
ing paper of this northwestern
coast, far one reason, and one
reason only it has the coin to
make it so. It is just as great a
paper as the city of Portland is
able to support. Indeed it is now
a little ahead of that city. His
about as expensive :i paper to i -in
as a city of 40,000 would justify.
A paper to-succeed against it must
start with equal facilities, with
equal capital, and with a certain
prestige in its favor. These, we
are informed, tho proposed paper
will have from the word go. Hav
ing these it must, by enterprise,
actual merit and keen business
qualities be prepared to make a
costly race, heavily handicapped
by immaturity and lack of acquain-
. tance with the surroundings. The
possession o the desirable quali-
-ties we have mentioned will result
in giving it a good show to give
the Oregonian a lively tussle. The
laclc of any one of these will result
in a rocket flight.
In one sense we believe the now
paper will be a benefit to the
Oregonian. People .have been
made so painfully manifest of its
injustice and attempted supercil
iousness it has been so rubbed
into them that they can't help feel
ing it, and overlooking its good
qualities. Probably its guiding
spirit will by contrast be made to
see the mole in his own eye and
reap pofitable. benefit from the
result.
The position that the editor of
such a paper as the Oregonian
occupies is one of more power than
that of any other one man in the
State. Itfo matter how much may
bt Mid to the contrary, the written
thoughts of an educated man have I A ""f?T All
most potent influence. The usejJS,, W 0 jHLllftll
J that the Oregonian editor makes '

of the chosen words, and in tins he

aflords pleasing contrast to the;

tempered i

,,.;u i
more of the lancet than the bind-!
geon style, it might result in more j
affectionate remembrance. It is J
easier to elicit kindly feeling than ,
to compel admiration from our fel-'
low-men. The Oregonian has the !
opportunity of holding the lead '
against any new paper if it desires.
"We believe it will.
