THE PORTLAND POLICY IN an interview in tho Portland .Tournnl, Collector of Customs Burke comments on Portland's commercial situation as follews: S,lnro 1907, both our importa and customs receipts hno been stead ily going down, whllo those of Seattle have been steadily going up. This process nerds only to continue long enough, to make For 11 ami n nub-port of Seattle mid remove Oregon complulcly from the commercial map. , 'Phis is the fruit, of the Portland policy, of the. Oregon idea of waiting for providence to spill hounties, instead of hustling tq get them, There is no reason why Portland should not. exceed Se attle in commerce, handicapped as the latter is by moun tain barriers hut Seattle has the enterprise, to go after things and got them that Portland lacks. Consequently, in spite of its superior natural advantage of water grades, Portland is being outstripped by Seattle. Portland lost its share of the Alaska business because Portland business men and wealthy citizens did not have enterprise enough to go after lino even when entreated to by so with all commerce. Trade iollows the dollar, and Port land keeps the dollar home. Portland spends its energies in trying to seize business developed by other communities, like Spokane, instead of developing its own. Portland has appeared against every eommunitv in the northwest in the hitter's every effort to secure equitable freight rates. The Portland policy has been to .build herself up at the expense of others a narrow selfish policy unsuited to a metropolis that can only become great by tho development of the entire country. It is now feeling the reaction of such a polk'' and'niust reverse tactics to prosper. Inland cities are made or unmade by freight rates yet every effort made by any community in Oregon or else where, to secure more favorable rates, so as to enable a le gitimate development of resources has found Portland an intervener in behalf of the railroad as against the smaller town. Medford and Baker City were as bitterly fought as Spokane and Boise. Portland has sought to maintain its supremacy by denying opportunity to other towns. It is and seeks to "remain the sale distributing point for the en tire state forgetting that such an unnatural, artificial con dition militates against the development of the state and stifles Portland's own growth by throttling the develop ment of a market for products. A year or so ago, the Portland Oregonian boasted that eighty million dollars had been spent in building sky scrapers in Portland. As a consequence, Portland is over built full of empty buildings. If half of the eighty mil lions had been spent in development projects throughout tho state, in building needed railroad lines, in opening up and developing natural resources, Portland would today be the most prosperous city in the land and Oregon sustain a much greater population hut Portland policy is millions for Portland little or northing for Oregon, which must wait for surplus money from other states. ncuce Oregon lags behind her sister states in develop ment, progress and population. "With the greatest natural resources of them all, she is last on the list, and as long as she is last, just so long long will Portland fall behind Se attle. It will be interesting to watch whether the new cham ber of commerce will see the light and rise to the situation It has the opportunity but can the leopard change its spots? CREATING PROSPERITY AT HOME D UPING the year ending June 30,'191-J, it is estimated the American tourist spent $286,000,000 abroad. Sec retary Pcdfield states that the annual amount spent in Europe hy the American tourist averages $170,000,000. This money must now remain in America as the state department refuses to issue passports for anj' purpose ex cept business necessity. Its expenditure at home will ma terially help create prosperity, besides giving the pond crosser a chance to see America first. Hundreds of thousands of persons every year migrate tp Europe to spend the returns on bonds, stocks and secur ities, to squander gold created in America in creating pros perity in the Rivera, in tho Bon Marche, in the Strand, in the Alps, at Carlsbad and other resorts. The American tourist has become the principal asset of Italy, Switzer land, the Tyrol and other foreign lands, while superior at tractions in his native land remain unseen. The expenditure of such sums abroad is proof enough that the United States has developed a class of idle rich who neither toil nor spin, but squander abroad the product of others labors. It is the logical result of private monop oly of natural resources that many must earn that a few may spend. The effect of keeping the roving rich in their own land was reflected in the prosperous season reported last winter af the resorts in the southern states. It is now being felt at Newport and eastern and mountain resorts. It ia shown in the heavy California traffic. It is indicated in the phe nomenal buying of high priced art objects at New York auction sales. Transcontinental railroads arc preparing for tho heavi est passenger business in history. Thousands will explore the west for recreation, amusement and sight-seeing who never otherwise sec it. Tho California expositions will profit by it. Tho northwest will be tho gainer. Hundreds of millions of dollars made by American workmen will be loft in America to give work to American workmen that would otherwise be left abroad hence there is at least one beneficial effect of the war.

The vital halam-c must be mnintainrd for this is tho law of motion which is the law of life. The violation of Ihw prime law in cane of man, is for the most part BiKnificd by obesity on (ho one hide and insomnia on the opposite hide. Life has a vital orbit marked by poles and neutral line. Ideal life moves on (he collator. The "balanro hj!o" by aid of which life walks this equator are the diet-sloop nud waking factors. Ko excess, hnwcxrr Mnnll, is condon ed by nature, "l'nyl pay! pay I to Ihc last fartlniii;!" is nature's inex orable demand. The story of muiiV artificial!) e leeted row, laid under tribute for mi abnormal milk flow, may be antiei jmtcd from the principles just enun ciated. Her organism is first weak ened by unnatural selection and then "tupped" for "sap" called milk, winch she yields every day, in place of hoarding it up as does the hog but the principle is the same, the re-ult the gumc She is abo dying of vital over-draft. The law of the conserva tion of energy applion as before illus trated, affirming Unit the vital ac count is definite in amount, and could not be increased, while the law of life affirm as positively that the vital balance, tho debits nud credits in tho accounts of the bniikinj,' book of life must be equal. If one would know how deeply she is iu the "red" let him count up the creameries and checso factories. Fatal wiijiis of this vital deficit aro called ''mouth and foot diseac," the lupus stage of con sumption in man. She is on the crge of extinction, the executioner being culled tuberculosis.

Kendall of Cold Hill. the vitality of the dumb animal world without serious results, will be the burning question for tho future, when man shall understand that lite is hut the organic manifestation of the prin riplcs common to the universal laws or motion. Edison says: ''The time will romr when iiinn will have learned to do without sleep." That will bo about the time he shall invent a singing or talking machine that will not run down. This remark of the great in ventor is a good illustration of that state of chaos in the scientific mind today in regard to thistflic most pro found and vital problem concerning life. As stated above, it is conceived as a kind of perpetual 'motion, only that there is some hitch in the living machinery. Every operation in na ture is supplied with an arrangement for lu'ing "cranked." It has many aliases: iu life it is called sleep. This negative state is what the organism pays for the privilege of being con scions part of the time, is the lug of the sled up the lull of lilu for the glorv of riding down.
