THE BIG STICK OF THE RAILROADS
^Instead of bringing a message of good cheer to the people of
gon in his address to the Development League at Salem yes-
jay, President Elliott, of the Northern Pacific railroad,
*ded a club. It was the same old big stick that has been ini
ience every time the people express a desire for the right of
¡¡government. Railroads must be let alone, was the burden of
Hitt’s remarks, or they would do all they could to retard, in-
i d of assisting to develop the state; in other words give them
'!t to charge any freight rate they desire, to control legisla-
ij and courts, and they will proceed to build more railroads,
I ¡h * will more securely fasten the chains of slavery upon the
de and pile higher the burden of government and cost of liv-
The much-heralded “booster” meeting was thus trans-
ted into a clearing house through which the political ultima-
of the railroads was passed out to the people. The terms of
dictum are, give us the earth and the fullness thereof, and
ivill hustle to develop its resources and make it productive of
er dividends on watered stock; refuse our terms and we will
11 we can to curtail investment and restrict development.
iThere you have it in a nutshell—the people of Oregon may
,’ it or leave it alone. The railroads are prosperous, content­
end are willing to let things drift as they are..
For our part we do not believe in paying the price for devel-
ent the big railroad systems ask. We have managed to live
!ie past and grow some virtually without railroads, for the
hern Pacific lines in the state hardly count. We may still
’t, and keep our independence and self-respect. That will be
er in the end than to barter our liberties for a railroad build-
joom, because some day and in some way we would have to
'the price. Oregon wants railroads—needs them badly—but
ere is not a field here for honest, legitimate investment in
enterprises, and the investors cannot rely upon the inher-
justice of the people to meet them fairly, without first hav-
: Exacted sweeping pledges of exemption from proper legisla­
tion we will be better off without them by warding off in
’iception thjj catastrophe that must surely follow. The Med-
' Mail-Tribune takes the right view of the question in the fol-
ng editorial:
‘Railroad* were let alone in Oregon for many years. They

during those three years more railroads have been con-
sted than in twenty unregulated years previous, and today,

THOMAS W. LAWSON AND HIS CAREER
Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston and Wall street, says he is
not ill and does not need a rest, and he ought to know. Says
also he does not contemplate making another—immediate—raid
upon his friends, the trusts, therefore his stocks should remain
quiet for awhile. Time was when Lawson had only to think
about certain stocks taking a jump and they would soar sky­
ward between the closing of the market and the first edition of
the morning papers, but since they did not remain hitched to the
stars, eager investors have learned to labor and to wait before
parting with their money so readily.
Nevertheless, sick or well, Thomas Lawson is one of the
most picturesque figures in American business life. He is a
banker, a broker, a yachtsman, an author and a mighty good
spender, whether it is on advertising or giving his children and
their friends a good time. Lawson was educated in the public
schools of Cambridge, Mass., and has been in the banking and
brokerage business for nearly forty years. Perhaps no busines-
man in America has figured in so many battles with the moneyed
interests. He has attacked the trusts in magazine articles, tele­
grams sent out by his firm, in newspaper advertisements and in
books. He 1 is been contributing to magazines and newspapers
since 1875. Not only has he wrtiten upon sports and finance,
but upon politics. When he wrote his history of the Republican
party, just as an instance of how handsomely he does things
when he wants to be nice, he had a special edtion of four copies
run off on satin, one of which he presented to President Harri­
son, one to Vice President Morton, and one to the Congressional
Library, retaining the fourth copy for himself He also wrote
the history of the America’s cup for private distribution. Per-
hans bis most famous writings, however, were embodied in a se-
•es of magazine articles, relied “Frenzied Finance,” issued in
1905. He has a number of handsome residences, all in Massa­
chusetts. Pnston is the beadquarters for his financial interests,
but he has offices in New York also. Mr. Lawson is fifty-three
I
years old today.

NEW MOSES OF NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS
Clilldren's Mitt», dark color*, th* pair
Since Gilbert M. Hitchcock received the endorsement for United
States senator, all Democratic roads have been leading to Oma­
ha. Mr. Hitchcock's spacious residence at Twelfth and Dodge
streets is crowded night and day, for the word has gone out that
he is to be recognized as the Democratic leader for Nebraska,
The mantle which William J. Bryan wore for so many years has
fallen from his shoulders and been put away. In turn a new
mantle has been made for Mr. Hitchcock, and he is wearing it
gracefully.
Mr. Hitchcock was born in Omaha fifty-one years ago, the
son of Phineas W. and Annie Monell-Hitchcock. He was educat­
ed in Omaha and later went to Baden-Baden, Germany. Return­
ing to this country, he took a course in law at the University of
Michigan, graduating in 1881. During the four years following
he practiced law in Omaha. In 1885 he established and edited
until 1889 the Omaha Evening World. The morning Herald was
purchased in 1889 and since then Mr. Hitchcock has been pub­
lisher of the Morning and evening Herald-World. He was first
I
elected to congress from the second congressional district of Ne
braska in 1903.
Of course, there is some talk that Mr. Hitchcock will not be
elected by the Nebraska legislature that convenes January 1
next. However, this is all talk. Both Republicans and Demo­
crats admit that when the Oregon plan of expressing a popular
choice for a senatorial candidate at the polls was agreed upon,
the action pledged every legislative candidate of both parties to
abide by the decision of the voters. In addition to this every
Democratic member of the legislature, prior to entering the race
signed a pledge that, if elected, he would vote for the senatorial
candidate who was the choice of the people.

Anrll. Portland Journnl
A novel and astonishing crime was recently invented by a
humble telegraph operator in California, says the Saturday
Evening Post. He was employed by a railroad company, and
notwithstanding that fact, he participated in politics. That was
his offense. Discovering it, the divison superintendent prompt­
ly indited and apparently caused to be published__ a note of
dismissal, in part as follows:
“Dear Sir—I note that you have entered the race for nomi­
nation for mayor of your city, which puts the company in a false
light with the people............... I would be pleased to have your I
resignation.”
If an employe ran for mayor the people might get an inju­
rious notion that the railroad was trying to interfere with their
political affairs, or even suspect it of shaping those affairs to its
own selfish ends. The corporation which will not suffer itself FUGFMF PRECINCTS
to be put in ths false and harmful light is the Southern Pacific
