In a 'republic, tho- dr.Va derive tbelr just powers from tbv consent of tbe urieu. The Southern Pacific Company, after spending enough money to make a good start on construction of the Natron cut-off in propoganda against the supreme court unmerger decree, has at last laid its cards on the table. It desires only to lease the Central Pacific lines until such a time as the Interstate Commerce Com mission develops an indefinite plan of grouping all the great rail roads of the country into a number of systems, based on effici ency of service and competition, as suggested in Esch-Cummins ralroad act might be advisable, although no authority is vested in the commission for enforcing such consolidations. The Southern Pacific Company will use all the -endorsements of its absolute and despotic control of Western Oregon and Cali fornia by newspapers, individuals and Chambers of Commerce, it has gathered together regardless of expense, to induce the Commission to disregard the decision of the Supreme Court and allow it to continue to operate the Central Pacific lines under lease. The scheduled hearings on the unmerger we were told would be held in Portland and elsewhere on the coast this fall will not take place there evidentiy was no foundation for such statements. The situation then if the Commission listens to the plea of the ' southern Pacific, backed by the endorsements it has bought and paid for, is that the company wilj have an excellent reason for not building the Natron Cut-off, Springfield shops or anything else, probably for years to come. As lessees only of the Central 1 r :rt- i; -..;n I - i. it. 11 i n . i i-a a p , , . i-uciuc lines, n win ue argueu, il wouia De ine neigm or iony 10 spend millions in permanent improvements upon these projects. Meanwhile the Interstate Commerce Commission will proceed, perhaps for years, to investigate and hold hearngs upon the feas ability of consolidating the railroads of the country into a few big systems, a scheme that may never materialize. ' The only conclusion to be drawn is that the Southern Pacific Company in setting aside the decision of the court, if its cam paign to that end succeeds, will have bottled up Western Oregon tighter than in the past, dissipating every hope of railroad de velopment that our people have ever cherished.

We see them softening the couches on which their unwearv children rest; busy lessening the hardship attendant upon their cnnaren s acquisition ot Knowledge, or on their obtaining an nonorea position in lite. We paixuls slave to leave behind a fortune that shall assure happiness to our children and that shall impart luster to the family name of distant generations, Such self-sacrifice is truly pathetic, becauso of the disappoint ment that is its reward. Plenty begets ease;. ease begets luxury, extravagance and ex cess ; these lead to degeneracy, and this to impoverishment, i Parents would show wiser and truer love, would assure great er happinoss to their children, would help them to hew out for themselves better careers, were they to pursue an opposite policy and, notwithstanding their wealth, oblige their children to' struggle and develop. , EallaMMj 1 'u small town, Sunday Is the day when everybody goes to church . and the restaurants change the , table clothe.

No other issue Influenced the members of the jury in reaching a decision, we have bee,! assured by aer ral members of that body. ; J. D. Mickle, secretary of the Oregon Dairy Council, con tributes an article to the Salem Statesman in which he says : "The records made by Jersey breeders have enabled Oregon to lead the world in tho number of high producing record cows. Other breeds are just beginning to get a foot hold and it will be only a few years until they, too, will bo , up in the front ranks of world record cows. These results are sure to follow, for when you can bring together under the most favorable conditions such elements as our rich valley soils, our mild, even climate, our wide, wide range of roughage, our corn silage and kale, and put behind these the class of men who are now taking up dairying, and put ting into the work their best efforts, we can confidently say that results are sure to follow." Mr. Mickle says that Polk county leads in Dure-bred r-nti.le. standing at the head of any county in the state and probably of any cuuniy m uto unnea ouues. inis statement should be nn incentive to the beginning of a friendlv rivnlrv flmnno- t.hp renin-1 ties to make the best showing in this, our most steadilyrincreas ing source of state income.

The Nebraska situation only indicates the low level to which politics has fallen, duo more to the direct primary law than any thing else. The biggest demagogue and best promisor generally gets the nomination, and the name "republican'-' or "democratic'' stands for nothing. The Portland Evening Telegram has moved into a new build ing where its well-equipped plant is now installed in a perman ent home.

Consump tion figures for this August represent an increase of 16 per cent over tne statistics for August i921. An effective way for the people to reduce taxes would be to 3top voting them. Within the past two years the higher education al millage;;the public school millage, the soldier bonus and many smaller tax items have carried by majority vote of the people. Most of the counties and cities, too, have voted additional tax h.vir.. fnr rnaria nnH nther nurcoses. It is the sum total of such taxes which makes up most of the tax levy complained of. Some hard nuts are put up to the courts to crack. An example is the suit of a spirit medium in Kansas City who charged al rival medium with stealing "Little Eva", the spirit who had for years furnished her' with the advice she sold to patrons. "The United States Revolver Association" is flooding the i newspaper offices with propaganda now. Evidently the yeggs are trying to induce the civilian population to disarm. The Producers' Call, non-partisan paper of Portland, asks i-oters to think before they cast their ballots. Then by all means keep the Producers' Call out of ther hands. After one reads that he can think of nothing but confusion worse confounded. The American Legioners say they have just begun their fight for a national bonus. That is probably why they elected a Texan commander. There are some old-timers yet living who can remember when Oregon had a football team.

After wverhearirif- Mm, Darlington, Party mnde up her mind that thin friend ship hud to cease. It miffht ho 'cutting out her own heart in fact, it would be quito ah painful but nho decided there wnB more than hereif to think of.

The waiting is almost lis painful na the extracting, and the sooner it begins, the less painful the whole business is. So Patty waited impatiently for the time when she should see Paul next, having made up her mind that that, time would be the last. She did not see him every night now. Paul had certain social obligations. And he hud a mother. In the days before he de cided to find, himself n Jb, time ng heavy on his hands. AAhen his nt'vr wanted him to attend certnin et c . .itin nients, it was always easy lo do so. The pretty liss MncKeen and two or Ihree dozen oilier girls that he knew, saw quite a bit of him. Put now he Was at wrk eight hours, which meant he was nwuy from home from S o'clock until after 0. To pacify his mother who wa violently onprtsed to "this nonsence." he had to spend many of his evenings W'ith her. ho there wbh an iirrnngemcnt between Paul ami Patty that, when he could, he would call nt. the business school for her. He would be at. the door with the car. If the ear was not there, she was not to wait that evening he could not make it. She did not see him for four nichts nfter the decision that she must never see him nxuni. 1 ben. ns she humed down the stairs from the night school, she saw the long green car standing pa tiently nt the curb. Her heart gave a leap within her. She ran down and through Hie door, and stood with a shin ing smile look in it up at Paul. He tucked the robe around her and thev started off. In most cases they simply circled the Willed $300,000 and First Purchases a Dog park or ran up nud down the drive until it was umc lor ratty to go jjoine. "Gee, but it's good to see you again!' Paul Raid with slanev enthusiasm. "You know, Patty, it's almost worth staying away from you four days to be this glau o see you.' ' Pattv lauirhed a little. It was so won derful 'to be with him again! She forgot her decision for a moment, and gave ner uclf up to the sheer pleasure of being with him and listening to him. She would tell him on the way home. Meantime, this was their last drive whv not. eniov it. ns much as iiossibte? ! "What have you been doing-? How is I the work i she asked. I "The work? Oh, I've got a new posi Hon. I've' so manv thing to tell von.' The car swerved into Fifth avenue, and ran smoothly up its shining asphalt. New York at 0 had settled to ita evening and va indoors cither at home or in. thea tres and restaurants. It would be two hours before Ihe s.curry of ears and (he home-going subway crowds1 would make things alive once more. "First of all, Tuesday Mother decided that if I had to work. I might ns well have what she called a gentleman's pob. So she becan talkimr to a lot of neonle we know, with the result that Keen. Sipiier and company have made a place for me in their offices." "What uro youV" Patty asked with Interest. "Oh, at present a bank winner nt the munificient salary of a week. I car ry bonds and stocks bncii and forth trom one office to another. That's to make ine familiar with the streets down there and the names and members of firms. In two weeks I go inside to do office work. Then I begin to sell bonds and little by little they will push me along.' ' He laughed a little. , "Of course it's influence. Mother will keep nt them and most of them nre fam ily friends. We hnve runners nt vur place 1 who have worked there !JO years and ; they're still bank running." Hut Patty was sure that influence had not hing to do with it. he glanced nt Paul as be guided the enr easily over the streets nt a little bit more than allow able speed. Paul could do anything, she thought. He held out his hand to Suc cohs, laughing in his easy, infectious way nnd that temperamental damsel came directly to him. Men who held inferior positions for MO years did so because they deserved nothiug better, Pattv de cided. They paused at a crossing for some traffic to go by, Paul slid his hand under the rug nnd took hers.
