SEPT. 18 .1908 Tbe report ou industrial couditioua from tbe correspondents of tbe Com meroial National bank of Cbioago locates tbe weak spot of tbe revival of business iu tbelaok of railroud boyiug. Ibis is reported in tbe lumber trado, tu building und ooastrootiou trades and io iron aod steel, a revival of coufldenoe and business, bat "lack of buying by railroads." In an extend ed artiole ou tbe business situation tbe Now York Commercial Bulletin con cludes tbat tbe way (o restore ptosper ity is to pay higher freight rates, bo- oauso by everybody contributing in tbis way liberally to tbe railroads they will be enabled to buy iron, steel, lumber and other materials, thus placing men back at work and setting tbo wheels of industry generally going. Western people do not understand such reasoning, bat Eastern trade and fin ancial publications are hypnotized by the railroads, whioh tbey regard as distinct from all other industries, su perior to ell others and entitled to spe oial treatment as the "spoiled favor ites" of commerce. If people will go down into their pookets and chip in and help tbe railroads, tbe railroads will sot all other industrial wheels in motion. But if tbe people bad so much surplus cash as tbis, tbey would be rr.aking very muob larger demands tbuu they are making on all tbese manufacturing industries, and tbat would set the wheels iu motiou aud would be prosperity. .-.X wij .ring into how "V laoVj capable of irrigation is wasted by cot being irrigated. More-important etills its suggestive inqoiriesteojjin, to show tbat we are wusliug our wat er ways to, an alarming extent by not using them' as we should. Perhaps tbe greatest form of waste brought out in tbe entire schedule is tbat relating to water power. The Natioual Conservation Commis sioo has just made putlio the first of its schedules on wbiob tbe inventory of theoouutry's natural resources is being oouduoted. Only a few of! tbe schedules havi, as yet, boon given out, but between tbe lines of these it is plainly evident the Natioual Conser vation Commission intends to hunt down waste iu all its varied forms aud to devise some menus to prevent it. Tbis is apparent iu tbe general ho Lied ulos as to each of the four sections ot the Commission waters, forests, lands aud minerals. For instauoe, tbe sche dule relatiug to lands inquires into watse by soil of erosion, which is the washing away of tbo land. Tbat sobedulo also suggests wasto through "bad agricultural methods." Tbe After gathering tbe opinions of merchants all over toe Paciflo North west ou tbe subject of tbe parcels post, the West Coast trade comes to conclu sion that a largo majority Utterly op posed it; tbat a good many have been lod to believe that some forms of par cels post may be all right, and that a few tli ink tbore should bo such a law. Tbo latter, most of tbem, are actuated by piide. Tbey believe they cau meet any competition tbat is brought to boar on tbem. Possibly they have not teen touDbed by tbe blight which has struck so severely elsewhere. Those who think a modified parcels post might not be so bad do not look ahead to tbe days when, with tbe wedge en tered, amendments and changes may be made much more simply and easily. A few years benco, according to Dr. LJackson, every man who has uot had bis appeudix removed, will be snbjeot to appendicitis. But Dr. Woods Hutchinson says tbat when tbe ave rage man has passed the age of fiO he bas no appeudix it has disappeared. Still, tbis does not tend to reassure the exceptional man. cupy nntil you get back . Fiuancial porsous who objeot to the term "flying machine" are at perfect liberty to call tbo thing an aerodrome, an aeroplane, an areobat. an aeromu- bilo, or an airship. This is a free country. Acooiding to a Texas paper, "some people marry because they want a com rade in arms." Many others marry because tbey want a reliable commis sary department. Inasmuoh as there are to be no more Calob Powers triiils, Kentucky might donoentrate its energies now upon the work of eliminating tbe night riders. Sometimes tbe despairing oonvioticn forces Itself upon Editor Stead's mind tbat tho world isn't really worth all the trouble be is taking tc save it. Evelyn Thaw is to get an allowance of 1,000 a month for stiokiug to Hairy which is more than she could make behind a ribbou counter. Much of tbe correspondence that passes betweou the United States and Great Britaiu is not worth more tbuu a 3 cent stamp, anyway. WASHINGTOVS MESSAGE. Senator Aokeny's defeat m tbe di rect primaries will elevate iu the na tion's estimation the state of Washing ton. It is crushing, and would have been more crushing if Senator An keuy's pleasing personality aud fine, rugged reooid as pioneer and empire builder bad uot blinded many voters to bis grave faults in political life. In his home oity of Walla Walla, where Senator Ankeny has been known for nearly half a century as a kind and hospital neighbor, a jubt and upright business mau and a pleasing, compan louable associate, be received a vote tbat must give him much gratification in this hour of political oblivion But when tbe smoke of conflict bas cleared away, and the people of Walla Walla bave time for quiet reflection, many who voted for Senator Ankeny will come to a quiet conviotiou that his defeat was altogether just and wholesome. Far better had it been for Senator Ankeny's plaoe in tbe history of Wash ington and tbe Inland Empire if an nnsettliug senatorial ambition had never possessed him. Tbe qualities tbat make a great and successful bank er are seldom the qualitios tbat are es sential to senatorial achievement. Tbe toga is never becoming to men like Senator Ankeny and W. A. Clark of Montana, and Ibese do themselves injustioe when tbey are induoed by tbe flattery of friends or tbe persua sion of political bangers-on to attempt the cares, duties and indignities of statesmanship. Now tbat Senator Ankeny is defeat ed, his politioal organization will quick ly disintegrate. In spite of all his resouroes of politioal patronage and money, be has been beaten by an op ponent of modest personal fortune. Congressman Jones bas made a clean, creditable fight for his senatorial hon ors. His eleotion dignifies tbe state of Washington. The news of his success is good news to flash by eleotrio wire to other states of the Union. Spokesman-Review. They Take the Kinks Out.
