J All other property In Portland ahouli ' be protected JTom fire; why not protec th property along the water-front and pon th waters of the harbortj ax : presses the Issue pertaining to the t fire tug queatlon. The -mrgunienU are all In - tavor of the purchase Of the fire-boat There are nona that should weigh with reasoning men that do not support the contention. . Not on cltlsen or taxpayer In Port- land object to paying for the malnU fiance of ths Are department. They, In fact, are probably willing that the an , nual Imposition of taxes be Increased In order "that" the lire department he lm proved to hteet the needs of the city. JEvery one recognises that this I one ' vweden that must be borne In every place where people Congregate In large nunv v ', The property ef the water-front, and Its use;' ' represent jto i Portland f the very foundation ' of the city future, Its . prosperity depend upon the river end the commerce tlutt is earned upon It. Subtract the waterway from Portland, ' and foe eliminate the one thing that makes this greet city and that will make It still greater as the year pass. .The value of all ether property, there- ,. fore. Is dependent in large part upon the . value and safety of the property that , stand along the bank of the Willamette ' Blver In Portland harbor and that come and goes In transporting the great cent ' mere - that flow through Portland's . - - U- -J - gates. ,. '- To dlacrlmtnat against that particular form of, property la to Inflict Injustice upon the owners thereof. The demand for efire tug is not bawd upon an ask? : . log for special privilege. It la merely to aak what other property-owners re- - celve in th forth of protection from the - ravages of the fire fiend. Presume that one of the steamer in the harbor Were to get on fire. "Would not the fire tug fully and completely compensate for Its purchase and main- tenance in the savins; of Uvea in that on ' suppositious instance? The recent fire ' across the . river brings this Issue di rectly before the people. Can they af- . Itfrd to permit the lesson of that eonr- flagratlon to go unlearned, and fail to reap from It the advantage that would e-o frer 1h iwccaa of the move laex., Xor. the eeeurtag of the boat that i conreiea by aH to be one of the dtp rreaw--4T V ,i .Ifj.iher he jythi In experience, then rip-Asl-Other American cities3 that have r:.

Perhep. when some hap less steamer has burned to the water' '. edge, and human beings, encased In such av hell of fire, have gone down to a death , most horrible perhaps then Portland will move toward, the securing of a -fire tug. But let us not await uch an experience. tt us do X now, and provide against such an awful calamity. v I V4 . , l-JSi-L-JUZi U . ! , SELECTItffl A( FAIR SITE, ,'"Th Journal accredits the' director of th Lewi, 'and Clark Centennial with s honesty of purpose and fidelity to the ; htereU of, the city and state, and e desire to decide all Question in a fian .,' ner; b? make for the good of all. Htnce, whatever decision may be reached In ref rence te the sit for the Fair, The Jour. hJ propose to accept It with cordiality tn4 ommendatlen tor the men whe are giving ef their valuable time and talent L tor the furtherance of th big 'enter director Messrs. Mills, Dresser, and Wesslnger has reported In favor of the City Park as 4 site. There are two Questions that must b aetUed satisfactorily before the City 'Par will appeal to, the 'Instructed man Las the, spot In which: to build the Fair. Thes QuestrtfttS aret J.:;T'., Water for beautifying , and sanitary purposes.' 7-1 " 1 Transportation of machinery had other heavy things to -the grounds. These must be settled rightly, els will th City Park be no puce In which to hav an ' Exposition. There can be no doubt upon these points. Indeed, they do not admit of debate. They are evi deat to any one who will go over the grounds and eonstder the needs of th situation. Water must be easily placed upon th ground for protection from fire, for forcing growth of plant and flowers and grasses, for fountains and other devices for making It a place of beauty, and for purposes of sanitation Th supply must be plentiful and not . toe expensively se cured. Transportation must be properly pro vided. Things move always along lines of least, resistance, and thing will move Into and out of the; Fair-ground gov erned by this law. This 1 a primal con alderatlon. As to -the quality of land available, th City Park . afford as much a th average of space used by the great American expositions during the past eil years, according to facts collected by President Corbett And this probably will not be. an'objection, although it ap pears to many as' one reason why the Fair should not go t6 th City Park. But there, remains some doubt regard ing the two questions herein set forth, and the people are anxious that they be assured on these points. LEAVE, IF YOU DON'T LIKE US. Candor compel the concession that there are many respects In which Port land needs a shaking up. ; Progress must ensue along certain ' line. And yet Portlander sometime grow wearied of hearing the remarks of people who come here from other cities en the Coast, and devote muoh time to saying disparaging things of the city of their adoption. Tbey deprecate this and they deplore that. They Wish for this Innovation, and sor row because that change in Portland's habits f living and thinking does not. come upon their asking. The average Portlander often feel an Impulse to Jisay to tiles complaining mortal: "If you don't like us, leave us. Tou are at liberty to go whenever you choose.", " Portland ha advantage that are not offered by any other city on the Coast Here people live in absolute comfort Here they purchase the necessities more cheaply than elsewhere. Her tbey find, after all thing are considered, the best climate In the world, a witness the pro fusion of the product of ths soil, and the Wealth of grains and graaiea and fruits and: other things that go to make up the object of commerce. Here health wait for the mas who suffers from al most any malady. Here are 'Opportuni ties for young men. Here rule democrat ic Ideas regarding th status of people in society or business circles. Here are beauties of nature, objects of interest for ths recreation hunter. Here are mighty waterways, impressive mountains, mar velous landscapes, rich farms, prollflo or chards, broad pastures made by nature, the most wonderful timber resources in the world, unrivaled railroads, fleet of ocean and river steamers, quarries, min eral springs, and any other thing In all the category of attraction and need and luxuries that man can reasonably ask. tor, And, boasting these, Oregon and Port land say to the complaining mortal: "If you don't like us, leave ua. You are at liberty to go whenever you choose,". . However, few ever leave after once coming helretv '.''4 '1 ., ... , MOODY'S QOOD;,WORK. Malcolm A. Moody, Congressman f rOm the Second District of Oregon, comes home with the beat record ever written by a Representative" from this atate. He has been diligent, intelligent, alert, in sistent, and has been respected In Wash ington for his ability as a legislator. He learned quickly that'the guerdon of suc cess In life is work, work, work. And he worked and worked and worked far the people whom he was representing. He has no stain upon his record. He comes home to re-enter private Ufa with th gratitude of all people who appre ciate the man who Is faithful to a trust. and who accomplishes things for his con stituents. Congressman-elect Williamson will hav a high standard to attain In equal ing In efficiency the man Who preceded him. H will hav to do thing, and be things, and record actual accomplish ment If he finish his term of service with one-half the good to his credit that ha been done by the man from The Dalles. This is but Justice to one who has ex emplified the' excellencies of the faithful public servant. It is due to one who ha left unexpended ho effort to secure recog nition for the region- from which he was sent to Washington, It is mere JusMce, and The Journal gladly accord to Mr. Moody, the meed of prat herein writ ten. . . ,,. , .... ,:o , The Journal championed jthe. election of W. F. Butcher of Baker Cityt the Demo cratic candidate, for reasons that were set forth at length during ths recent campaign. ' Yet "that championing of Colonel Butcher was not done upon the basla of disparaging Mr. -Moody. ' ft ts Some satisfaction to this paper t refieet that, strenuous though it was la edvocat Ing the election of a' Democratic. Con- greuman from Oregon, in order : that there might be a break In the continuity of Republican Congressmen from this state, with its attendant benefits. It did not resort to dishonest tactics against th man whom. It was opposing. - It is too frequently the practice 4o tor get truth and say and write thing m the heat of a campaign" that do not bear th test when there be cooler- moments afterwards. , The Journal would not be embarrassed were all that It said ef Colonel Butcher end Mr. Moody printed today In "deadly parallel." And this Is vastly more than some other newspapers could say. . v BREVITY OF NEW8. On of th questions that appertain to the conduct of the modern newspaper 1 that of the desirability or otherwise of the blanket sheets that have been feature of Journalism during the past few years. The present cumbersome paper .were ths outgrowth of th erase for annual nunv ber that began less than IS years ago, and that developed Into s, race between metropolitan papers for th supremacy in Issuing th most pages. ' It was the boast always that this or that paper had Rcooped the world by issuing the most pages of an annuel .number ever put out. After these marvelous products st the art preservative were given to th public, there would appear In the editorial col umns, or featured somewhere else with border and firing headline such asser tion as this: "The Morning Rubberbag Inflated itself last Tuesday In its annual number to slse greater than ever before a, newspaper attained! There 1 no record, in th world of Journalism of such a big newspaper. It stamps the Rubberbag as the most en terprising concern on the globe," or word to that effect. There was no mention of th excellence of the matter. That made no difference. Quantity counted, not quality. Newspa pers were gauged by a demand far Im mensity, not as other businesses by. the quality of the product And people would buy the enormous thing called a newspaper, most of the matter in which was written by 10 a week workers v.ho were supposed to hand In four or five columns per day or 20 to 80 columns per week, at that sam $10 com pensation. And, too, people buying It, would turn through the multitude of pages and read probably cne column out of th 300 or 400, and remark how enterprising had grown their home newspaper. It Is probable that the trend of the com ing decadi will be towards more of brev ity In the giving of news. People will de mand, and demand will bring newspaper mora condensed. Book axe becoming so cheap, and are issued In. such profusion, that people do not car to devote all Of their spare time to reading monstrous dallies ih which perhaps 80 per cent of the matter is superfluous. All of the e sentlal news of an ordinary news' day may be printed in one and one-halt or two columns of solid brevier type. Con densatlon and selection by the newspaper man is to be his work in the future. Blanket sheets will before long go the way of all things faddish. People are really too busy to endure for very long the Infliction of page and pages that con tain cheap stuff and hold no one's Inter est longer than the passing moment dur ing whjch the reader glances- through them. BRILLIANT CHEMEi FOR; ADVER. TISERS. VT'"'- ' That some enterprising advertising manager has -not purcnasea toe ngnt to use certain space In the Congressional Record is beyond comprehension. It Is one of the Inexplicable things that on run across occasionally. The advertiser ha even invaded hoary old Egypt and has plastered his startling Claims Over the time-honored pyramids. He has scaled mountains heretofore inaccessible, and has painted his names and nostrums where never before had the foot of man trod. He ha respected no prince or- po tentate, nor has he hesitated to Invade any realm previously sacred. The Congressional Record offer superior advantages, especially to the ex-1 elusive advertiser who secures the right of using it columns. That some have tried and failed mean nothing. Persist ency Is needed, perhaps, and probably, but persistency would win the battle for the man who would conceive the brilliant scheme and carry It Into execution. .f Witness the manner of operation by th great transcontinental railroad lines! They have learned that almost anything Is possible to htm who has faith and the sinews of war. The representative of th transcontinental has learned that' he need only employ skilled " lobbyists and' th halls of Congress are swung wide open to him. He ask and" he receives because;- perchance, he - attaches : some strong argument not glvento the public to bis request. There be ways In which he may accomplish his ends; td these need only b learned by' ths 'advertiser, j Glory': and enormous commissions wajt the man who has- the jSush and audacity and courage te adopt the methods of the trained lobbyist.? . "Dr. PlBlsbaJm's Pink 'Fill for Pal People," for Instance, run along the top of the .front page jj the Record, would be a great ad. It could be exclusive, too, and have greater value thereby. And the wonder Is thai some advertising manager does inot aoeomDilsh this feat and Induce th Representatives and Sen ators to accord him the right to adorn th pages of th country's current history of legislation with th name of om won derful cureall or' other commodity.' , .Those representative of the dear peo ple are open to argument, and. Indeed, are anxlou to be Induced. DO WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT, DEMOCRATS. The Democratic party may win the next Presidential election, . If it will but adopt a rational course. A rational course Involves no Ill-advised compromise Of principle, no failure to do what Justice dictates. It is but an Intelligent harmon ization of theory and practice. It Is to attempt what Is possible, to avoid what Is obviously' not acceptable to the majority of the people. First, the Democracy must remember that th majority rule In this country. That the majority hav the right to have a gold standard. If you please, or to pre serve somewhat of th system of protec tion, also, If , you please, and to retain the Islands in th Far East, too, if you plea, and to do what they will in the passage of laws. Majorities are right, as a gen eral proposition, in this great and glori ous land of ours. That la the manner of our Government That is what our. fath ers fought for, and for that thousands poured out their blood at Trenton and en dured hardship St Valley Forge. Democracy must remember these things. It must not think to go In the face of the patent desires of more than one-half ef all the people. Next, there are certain matters which the American people wish to be attended. There are certain reforms that they de sire shall be Inaugurated. There are cer tain measure they want to go Into en actment Titer are things to be done that will not be done by the Republican party, unless after years of waiting, and then almost only when revolution threet en the Nation. There la th principle ' of th greatest good to the greatest number, which Is the foundation stone of Democracy, that is to be upheld. And the task of exempli fying that principle will be entrusted to the Democracy, if only it will dismiss some of its chimeras and get down to the practical business of the rational mingling Of politics and statesmanship. No ideal need be shattered. No dream of a well ordered mentality nor aspira tion of a true patriot need go unrealised But there must be a rational program. Chimerical conceits of visionary leaders must be dissipated. Th people must be Assured that the Democracy proposes to he sensible Then, and then only, will th Job of running the Government be given to the party that . follow the grand old Jefferson, and that has (or sometime somewhat forgotten his tenets. VACATION SEASON. The season is at hand when thousand of Portland' cltlsen will bundle off to the Coast In Quest of recreation,, relief from arduous business confinement, scape from dust, heat and a myriad of other imaginary evils, which Is very well for that class whose occupations and finances will permit of such a thing; and while there are many thousands who are compelled by force of circumstances to forego this pleasure, there Is satisfac tion in the knowledge that all who de al r a tnnv niiW frAMVtm ' frank the ctttv'a - . , . -. - , ,i. '-j. , uust ana a lew iwurs iioercjrifcfvu ju- prlsonment by availing themselves of th many opportunities for spending pleas ant day in the higher 'altitudes east. west, north or south of the city. It la a fact that ths people Of this city should be proud in the possession of or that such blessings are accorded them as having the privilege, for the expenditure of .so small a sum of money as I cents. to be carried, by our excellent system of suburban railways, to point where pleas ure and physical profit are to be had for th mere seeking. In the hills to the west of town are hundreds of beautiful spot where a day eould be most pleasantly, spent by loung ing and lunching, by roaming at will through the' luxuriant growth of bloom ing, fragrant vegetation, enchanted by- the ceaseless warble of the forsst bird. drinking In the pure, exhilarating atmos phere, and enjoying other kindred luxuries so rarely found to surround a '.-... , ., great city. .. . All these blessings abound at our very dooryards, and yet many seek relief and recreation st distant points, at the ex pense of time and considerable money. kany are able to enjoy the luxuries of th seashore, but because some , of us are not we should not become discouraged to ths extent of not thoroughly enjoying What Is ours to take advantage ef. A bicycle dealer the other day was met with th objection on the' part of e pos sible purchaser that no one could ride a wheel la Portland unless he first pro cured a liberal life Insurance policy, that hi family mlghTb provide Jor lah vent f his death.. Th dealer was en able ts overcome this, objection, and did not sell ths wheeL And yet people de not rls up in theirwratb and fneonti? nentty. who direct the affair of '.opal government. ; Their pa tience Is something fearful and wonder. fuL They endure the present deplornble condition of the public highways ia th city, and titter no mor than tn 00 castonal mild wish that one might ride through the streets without danger to life and limb, without taking the trolley ears! And this suggests the suspicion that, perhaps the street car companies are in part responsible for the failure to improv. , , There Is not much' doubt that it will be to the political advantage of the Demo crat not to hold the majority ia0Sfb next house. . Such a majority would merely place the party in a position of responsibility for legislation, without ! giving them any powerto enact measure Into law. If th Republicans carry enough Congressional districts to retain the majority, they will have entire re sponsibility for all that is done in th coming session. ' It seems, not Improb able, however, that If the Democrats get together on some Presidential candidate, they will make a winning race In 1904. Tom Johnson of Cleveland is the most likely candidate of the National Democ racy. A clergyman of Portland advanced the theory that the future state will witness sradatlons of spirits according to tbelr capacity for enjoyment or otherwise as determined by their living while In the body on earth. It Is a rational view of heaven, and yet It was not long ago when he would have been burned at the stake for uttering such heresies. Verily. th heretic of yesterday often becomes the orthodox teacher of today, both In religion and science. ' . ' ' ' Th time to prepare for the next rose how Is right Row. People should begin this summer th preparations, that are to make the exhibition next year the most beautiful affair ever seen here, and that tn each succeeding season Is to enforce Portland's claims to belnar the City of Roses on the American Continent The Weather Bureau la standing In With the anti-lrrigatlonlsts in sending lots of rain to the arid belt in Eastern Orecon and Washinston to make the arguments of the irrlsationlsts sound like' thirty-cent logic.

Ia the person of King Edward VII have wo the first member of a new British dynasty, or have we not Are we still ruled by th house of Hanover, or by that of Saxe-Coburg-dotha? According to the new Almanach de Gotha, whose editors ought - to know, the latter is the case. though lt Mr. Stead' "Kings and Queen of England" Edward VII is put down as member of ths "House of Hanover. There ars a few genealogical authorities who argue stoutly that he is right, main taliring that "sovereignty swamps pater nity," and that no case can be quoted, out of our own history, at least, of the; son of f female reigning sovereign who did rot belong to the dynasty or nis motnar, ana that the blood relationship between a new monarch,' and his predecessor must be much more remote befor It can be said that he establishes a new race of rulers. We notice In ths catalogue of royal por traits at the New Gallery, Edward VII IS given as "the first sovereign" of the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, or Wet tin." A correspondent writes: "There can be little doubt that,: In espousing the former view, even so great an authority as the Almanaob de Gothu Is wrong. In view of the fact that female succession is the I royal law of the country, it ia clear that 'th house of Hanover has not been, sup planted by that of Saxe-Coburg any more than th house of Hapsburs; was followed in Austria by the house of Ixtrralne when a prince of the latter married Maria The resa. Her Son and suocesson Joseph II, did not, found a new Austrian dynasty of Lorraine, but continued that of th Heps burgs, Similarly, does anyone suppose that If Philip It of Spain had married Mary of England, her son, if ah had left one,1 would have been the first of a Hapsburg dynasty Irt England T Certainly not Then, again, to return to our own time, sup pose th present Queen of Holland were to die and leave a son and successor, he Certainly would not be called the founder of a Mecklenburg dynasty In The Neth erlands, but. only th prolonger of the house of Orange-Nassau In the female line. Th analogy 1 perfect with regard to ourselves and rules out of court the editor Of the Alamanach de Gotha with his theory of a Saxe-Coburg dynasty suc ceeding (to that of Hanover In England.
