DEVELOP THE OREGON CAVES. A full page- reproduction of an In terior view of the Oregon marble caves,' located In Josephine county, Is ono of the attractive features of the Sunday Issue of the Portland Oregonlan. This Is one of the great natural wonders of the world that has been but little exploited as yet. Miles of subterranean chambers fill ed with stalagmites and stalactites of most wonderful formation, filmy draperies woven from tho calcareous deposits, rippling underground streams and placid pools are some of the attractions of this in mse cav- ! ern that place it In the list ahead of the Mammoth cave of Kentucky. While the Oregon caves have not A STRONG MAN IN A STRONG, jet been entirely explored, and some ' POSITION, of the chambers have been closed Senator Jonathan Hourne return through fear that venturesome splr- c,i t0 tno United States senate wi I Its might become lost in their mazes, every visitor comes uway filled with awe and wonderment. The govern ment has set tho cave territory aside as a national monument, and dese cration of tho forms within the cav ern has been forbidden. It Is now deslred, however, that It bo declared a national park that greater care and supervision can be given It. Whllo hero recently Senator Ronnie, agreed to take the park ''"'u" "u vH.ious depart- ments having Jurisdiction, and if the government Itself will not do the necessary road u!ldlt.g to make the caves more accessible to tourist trav- el, to grant to individuals tho right to construct hotels and build roads. , Capital was ready a year ago to do this development, but no depart- ' n.cnt of tho national government seemed ready to grant the permit. authority over tho property being In question. Tho scientists of tho world wore astonished with the sight of Crater lake. They would have been equally astonished with the Oregon caves, and congress should make them ns accessible. It Is one of the re- sources of the Rogue empire, and should bo developed as such. WOMAN STEERAGE AND CHILD LEGISLATION. In one of the circulars with which the state is being Hooded by the moneyed antl-snffraglsts, the state- nient is made that "Men have passed ('';i'i are given an opportunity to be belter laws for tho protection of wo- good. I'p there n newspaper man men and children than exist under dared to tell tales on delinquent of a suffrage electorate in other states." hVlals, and he was roundly pummel How about Colorado? Judge lien '"'d for his pains by the aforesaid do Llndsey, whose mime, is revered all linqnonts. The governor has now over tho nation for his origination asked the officials of the city by the and support of the juvenile court, ''ig lake some embarrassing ipies says: "Colorado has the sanest, the ,lons, an'' 'heir troubles are multi most humane, the most progressive, plying. Portland is not the only most scientific laws relating to the hump on the map of the chief execu child to be found on any statute hooks In the world." Not only have these laws been passed through the Influence- of the women vote, but Judge Llndsey free - ly Btntes that It Is to the women of Colorado that he. owes his success In upbuilding and carrying on the Splendid work for children that has mndo tho Denver ,1ueni!e ,ourt svs- tern famous. The anti-suffragist s particularly fond of penning out Wyoming at a state that has no drastic child labor laws, comparing this suffrage state with eastern states where only men vote and have passed some ohm ilor- Ions measures for tho prote.tion of children. This comparison Is of lit- tie value for the reason that Yo- lulng has probably the least need of such laws, of an Mate In the union; iu Wyoming there are no factories or other conditions which create the need of child labor laws; whtit such needs arise In Wyoming, the women of that state can be relied upon to see that such laws are passed. Call- fornia and Washington, both already In possession of fairly good laws for the protection of women and hll dren, are planning Improvements, and the newly enfranchised women lof California are happily anticipating the passage, at ths next legislature, of a measure which will give the Cal ifornia mother equal custody with the father of California children -a measure which has been .repeatedly Ignored under man suffrage. What has become of that proposed foot bridge that was to be built as part of the steel bridge across the Rogue? It Is a much-needed Im provement, more needed now than during the dry months of the sum mer. The slop and water that stands on the bridge during the rainy sea son is thrown over pedestrians by racing automobiles, to say nothing of the danger to life and limb that alwa8 ,revnk"il "nJer V' ent condition of things. i at once assume duties that have scarcely been interrupted by the work of the campaign.

It , an experiment that the state can not afford to attempt. WESTS LONG RANGE VISION. Governor West has shown that he Is as big as his office. He knows 'hat he Is governor of the whole state - of Oregon and ho manages to heep a weather eyo on all parts at once. If Its over In the Des Chutes valley that public officials aro dere lict n duty, the governor is there with the stuffed dub, nnd the situa tion is clarified. Offensivo road- houses woke up ono morning to find gllstenlng bayonets hedging them about, and now Klamath Falls offi- tive, and this long range vision is making lots of localities .-it up and take notice. . 1 Already we see predictions in' the 'public press of the possible outcome of a general European war. One ' prediction that would undoubtedly come to pass is that in the event of a dash between Great Britain and Germany, the former, while the im- doubted winner, would lose enough hips so that the Enited States would take Its pl.i.e the leading naval ; power of the world. To be at the J top of the list would tickle American pride, but the American nation ' would prefer to get there by more ,,ea. rable means. The democratic program of a single battleship a year 'would be a long time advancing the navy in the list, however. THE MAN OREGON NEEDS. The election of a president is of course the most momentous feature of American iiolnlis. But from the polnt of view of one of the ijividual states of the union, the electon of a memhtr of the L-nIte1 Sta! i!es senate is of more Importance than the nam ing of the chief executive. The sen ators are the all-powerful factors In the enactment of legislation, and w ho those senators are should be the matter of first concern. Oregon has been fortunate during the past six years, especially fortun ate In that Jonathan Bourne Jr. has leen so allied with the new force in American politics that he has placed his state in the forefront of the pro gressive movement. Bourne is recognized as a pioneer In the cause, standing side by side with LaFollette and tho other leaders. But his po sition in the senate Is even more strategic than that of Fighting Hob's. His committeeships are fully as important, and his acquaintance with men and with methods just as thorough. To defeat Hourne now will be the most disastrous thing that can hap pen to this state. No new man can hope to achieve the position attained by Bourne In less than six years, so that there could be no advancement in sight no matter how capable a man might succeed to the office. But Bourne's commanding posi tion does not come altogether as a matter of political preferment. It conies because Bourne had the na tive ability and the personal strength to reach places that- less influential men could not reach In many terms. The duty the voter owes Oregon Is to retain Senator Bourne in office. ROOSEVELT AND THE THIRD TERM PHANTOM. Opponents of the Rough Rider candidate for the presidency of the I'nited States have attempted to prejudice tho popular mind by work- ng the third term bugaboo over time. The attempt is proving fu tile, however, and is costing the col onel no votes. L'pon this point C. P. Connolly, a magazine writer of fame, has recently mado the follow ing statement: "A would-be assassin has declar ed that his bullet was directed against Theodore Roosevelt's body because no man who attempted to secure a third-tern as President was fit to live. His logic was as ineffec tual as his bullet. But ho has done one good thing. He has emphasized for this campaign the nuestlon whether Colonel Roosevelt actually seeks a third term ns president, and if so whether ho is waging war against the best traditions of the country. Col. Roosevelt succeeded to tho presidency on the death of President McKinley and for practic ally all of the three succeeding years he carried on his administration with a cabinet selected by Mr. Mc Kinley and without the preparation for his office or his policies which every successful . candidate, between .November ami March, gives to so iiu- i portant a task. He was never, be fore this year, a candidate for the presidency but once, and then he was elected by the largest majority ever given a presidential candidate. He left the office the most popular citizen of the countrv." The great bulk of the orchards of tho Grants Pass distrbt hao not yet tome into bearing. That the relatively small atreaue now bearing can ship 110 cars gives a good idea of what will happen a few llUs hence when all are yielding their marvelous crops of world-beat In? 'frill's.
