CIRCULATION (SWORN) .OVER 4000
UNlUN- -gun U I
Ilousseau more ' than one hundred
years ago declared that 'the world was
': over-clvillzed. lie advocated a return
-:, " . ..
to "nature." Truth is that tbe world
- was not then and Is not now more than
half civilized. ;
The luxury and the : polished man
ners which Rousseau mistook for
over-clvlllzation were merely cloaks
for savagery. The Tullerles and Ver
sailles could not be homes of civilisa
tion so long as they were neighbor of
theooor in the fields and in the Fau
bours Saint An tolne. The Little Tri-
" anon, beautiful .rendezvous ofvlce,
was not a monurnento civilization. ;
So lonsr as there shall be tyTanny,
superstition, '.bigotry,, class prejudice,
ignorance and poverty there shall not
be , complete civitizalionX Civilization,
when It Is perfect, must permeate
t every stratum of the people;- One jo
ten or a thousand cultivated, -enlight-
; enetl, democratic, philanthropic nien
can not make a civilization. The
nobles who crowded the;court of lui
."- XVI. " ierfumed, elegant, immoral,
witty, were not civilized. Civilization
touches the . Intellec't, the morals, -the
conncience! A noble. cannot b civif
ixed who will keep a tired peasant out
of b-ji all nljjht whipping the ponds
so that the frog will le ilent and let
his lordship sleep. A king cannot jbe
civilized who will flaunt his Du Barrrrl
before the world and maintain her ex
tra vjfgahtly at the expense of a groan
ing people. -. Neither was the Uevoiu
tlon irlvinzcd,- although U made for
tlvlAzatlon by wiping out" the barbar
sm which in-tenled lo .b civilization.
I During the past one hundred years
w have nia.de. considerable progress
toward civilization, but we art atlfl
f.ir' from the goal. The abolition l ot
the Uantlle ami of feudalism, thn
cpread of books, the enlargement of
public schools, the grow,th of the press
have tended to nush mankind onward
twar.d the light. One may speak his
njjnd freely now on religion and poli?
.tics without fear of beins burned for
sedition, or heresy; but 4v.cn yet com
plete freedotn of speech docs not ob
tain. How many matters are there
which the political orator or the news
!!pe; tlares not touch? How many
restrictions does society impose ! on
speech and thought? How much prej
udic-, bigotry and superstition Is stilt
in;; the world?. What - weight these
things' still have in the councils j of
nations! How little allowance j is
; made by strong majorities for the hon
est and correct opinions of little mi
norities. .".A ;.: i . V:'; f ;. ': t " J U

TH RIGHTS OF AUTOMOBILES.
And now there Is rejoicing In the
ranks of 'the horsemen. The lUnited
States Circuit Court of New ToJ-k City
has Just handed down a decision in a
case brought by Jos. B. Hughes, a resi
dent of the metropolis, against a bank
er, Felix Varberry in which the plain
tiff is given $12,070 damages. In 'his
petition Hughes- claimed that he was
flriving- a team, through the streets of
the "city when Warberry's autombblle
whizzed by and crazed the horses with
fear. They ran away, and one of the
valuable animals jwas lost' and
the
in
plaintiff': himself received serious?
urifc
abmit the splnef for all of which-'
he aked damages In the sum of $59,
000. 1 Harlerry's lawyers- fought the
caa.v from start to flnlnh, but th best
Ihey coqld do was to cut down the ver
diet front the enormous sum asked to
the' more modest amount;. of $12,070. t ;
This cas is remarkable in! that ;it
is a precedent. The automobile, is a
comparatively recent Invention, and
while there have ben -any; number .of
teams frightcned-and caused- to ! run
away by the strange macbinev'no big
case previous to-the Hughes-Warberry
Suit has as . yet bwn brought into
court. ; ' . "
Automobilists throughout the coun
try will doubtless line up; against the
conrt's decision and Indignant editor
ials and personal, letters 'will probably
result from this test case. The horse
men, on the other hand," will f rejoice
with exceeding-great Joy, for the decis
ion riot only settles the question of the
amount of actual Injuries sustained by
the driver rf the tears, but also lays
down the law" to the automobilists. The
admirers of the horse think the decis
ion a.'great victory for horseflesh, and
doubtless "many consider it the begin
ning of the end of the automobile fe
ver, for. even millionaire automobilists
cannot afford to pay out $12,070 every
time Ihey frighten a team "of horses
Into running away. : : ; 1 : "-;
' When the bicycle first came into gen
erali.use in the early . '90s, t this same
question was mooted before the public.
The wheelmen refused to pay-damages
demanded from the sufferers lit runa
ways and the controversies had to be
settled in court. Feeling ran high for
some time, the horsemen claiming that
the bicyclists should not be
permitted the use of the roads,
and the wheelmen claiming that
they paid their taxes and had as much
right to the highways as did the own
ers of horses and carriages. All kinds
of 'wild schemes rwere advanced as to
the best jrnethod of getting over ,th,
difficulty. . Some suggested building
elevated eauiseways for the wheelmen
while others held that the Ideal way to
avoid frightening- the- horses would ' be
for the w heelmen to keep off the roads
during the day and the horsemen do
the.same as far as possible at ntgnf.
Probably these remedies will again b
brought forth in regard to the autnm
bile In the' hope that a peaceable -method
of settling the dlfRcplty can be arranged-
' . f :;
A"hlle the men of bot,h factions are
Struggling over the matter trying to
obtain their own wayto the exclusrion
of the opponent, they overlook the 'fact
that there i .one -factor that can settle
the question In the aiest. quickest
and best manner 'possible, and th'at l.t
no Olher than the horse hi melf. If the
owners of - horses and automobillMs
would devote one-tenth of their-' time
sp?nt In the court and ' concocting
schemes,j.,whereby , they could circum
vent each other to accustoming -4he
faithful horse to the sight of the auto
mobile, three months-time would see
runaways on account of automobiles
almost a. strange and rare occurrence.
Our friend, the horse, needs but a for-
mal Introduction to the automobile to
place him on the most friendly terms

WHAT 2J0OQ GIRLS COULD DO.
f Two years ago Mr. James A Norton
was elected to represent the Thirteenth
Ohio district Irf Congress by a ynajority
oit S.00O. f This was Mr. Norton's third
election, and ; when', the -'Republicans
demonstrated this year their approval
of his course In the usual manner, he
considered himself as good as elected.
But subsequent events proved that 2,000
girls employed In an underwear factory
had the power to change the political
complexion of the district. This fac
tory was owned by a man named Jack
son, who had conceived the idea that
he would like to "go" to Congress. It
was not difficult to. get a Democratic
nomination in." a district that had a
clear Republican majority of 6,000, and
In due 'time Mr. Jackson tnirprlsed his
'friends by declaring himself a candl-
date for Congress. -There was another
surprise in store for the people of the
district. ;Mr. Jackson gave his 2,000
girls a two weeks' holiday, and in the
letter communicating his intentions be
reminded. them that the best of rela
tions had always existed between the
young ladies and himself, and that
these relations would not be interrupt
ed If he should be .elected to -Congress.
The girls nook the hint. 4 Whether a
majority of them were Republicans or
Democrats ; Is-not recorded, but they
employed thelt holiday persuading men
tvote for a Democrat. The. 6,000 Re
publican, majority was wiped out arid
a. Democratic majority of 2,000 record
ed in its place. This is not referredO
as a bit of feminine caprice on the part
of the girls." Mr. Jackson had been a
model Employer. He had' established
night schools, libraries and hosaitals,
had glven them a good time when they
were well, and taken care of them when
they were sick. lie had also paid them
liberal 3 wages, but not so liberal that
he could not pile up a snug fortune
for himself. . ' .
THE REAL MOTHER OF TRUSTS.
, While the leadinsr topics that Presi
dent Roosevelt- will discuss in-- his
forthcoming mes-sage to Congress will
be the tariff and the trusts, it is said
he. wilt "discuss them separately,, be
catise he holds with other Republican
readers that the tariff If not responsi
ble for the trusts." This is not. how
everf a mere party view, adopted be
cause of partly exigency. It i. a
truth that Is readily apparent. The
catch phrase of the Democratic orators
. that "the tariff, is the mother of the
trusts. It would be much nearer the
point to say that prosperity is the
mother of the trustst When it is de
clared that the tariff , la Ahe mother of
the trusts, the demand la that the tar
iff be killed. When It Is said that
prosperity )a. their source, who wants
to kill prosperity? If there were no
capital there would bo no trusts, but
wlto wants to rid the country of, capi
tal? The tariff bears equally through
out the whole United States. It gives
no advantage to one more than to an
other. I Any "man or combination .'of
men may make Iron; no one within
the national boundaries will be - fa
vored above them by conditions es
tablished by legislative enactment. It
Is so in every other Industry. -TThe
tariff gives protection, and protection
for all. The trusts could get along
without It much -better than could
those who complain of the trusts.
' That there' jrnust be some 'way found

way must- be- discovered to help the

HOME AND FOREIGN MARKETS.
The latest figures given out by . the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics show a
change In the tide of 'foreign trade. In
the. vear 901'there was" a decrease In
exports and an Increase in imports. In
nine months' of this year there has
beta an Increase of $13,000,000 in ex
ports. This sum does nofloolt fbrmid
able; wheri compared with the total of
exports, but Itshows that the falling
off In. 1901 was only an Incident of for
eign trade. "The , decrease in the ex
ports of last year Wjas clearly caused
by the Increased home demand for our
manufactured product. The" principal
reduction was caused by the inability
cf the Iron and steel plants to supply
the home market. The German manu
facturers bf iron and steel made great
efforts to help the American manufac
turers out. They even-went so far as
to 'establish two prices for-steel pro
ducts, one for horn consumption and
one for export. Mr. Carnegie was
clearly1 right when he said that an
active home' market was the real basis
of . foreign trade. Objection may be
made to the sale of products in foreign
markets at less than the home price.
but in this way a surplus of products
may ; be converted Into cash without
loss to the manufacturers. If ' there
were any class of consumers who are
not also producers, these consumers
might complain; but as all classes are
interested In providing employment lor
our people, the consumer- derives some
benefit from a policy which at the first
glance seems to be injurious to the
consumers as a class., ''
AH; these people who- are talking
abont irrigation of the arid lands of th
state, by the Government, or by pri
vate individuals, forget one. thing. The
forget that the people who are expect
ed to buy and settle on the lands art
likely to be possessed of some intelli
gence. Under, the -rule of caveat emp
tor, r they Will look out for themsel ve
to some extent. It Is contended b
some of the jeople who are opiosed to
private enterprise' that the Carey law
docs not make any provision to furnish
the settlers , with water perpetually.
Bjut.ihe private persons or corpora
tions would have to see to if. that the
laot ; was sold before they could . ge!
their profits. They would have to fine
buyers. And they would have "to offei
them some inducements in order . It'
sell :them the land.-Nyer in Washington,'-perpetual
water -rights are sold
with, the land, by Irrigationand lane
companies, who are not -Operating un
der any act at all. They offer this in
dwfeetnent In order to get their, mony
and' profits out of their lands. They
could not find buyers In any other waj
If they offered less.r The thing for the
profile of Oregon to do is to get all the
at id lands' Irrigated possible, and ' as
fast. as possible. " - .
. At the meeting of the American Fed
eration of Iabor In. New Orleans yes
terday a, resolution was (ntroduced
and discussed, instructing the Federa
tion of Labor -to use its best efforts to
induce the Rational Congress to pass
a bill securing to x every 'wageworker
who shall have , reached the age of 69
years without having had an average
annual Income of $1,000, a pension p
$12 per Vionth, provided the wage
worker isa citizen 1 of the .United
States and has resided in this country
for 21 years when the application for
pension Is made. The resolution was
unfavorably reported but It was con
tended by one of the speakers that
"the wageworkers of the country" have
as much right to a pension when they
are worn out", in the harness as any
man who was directly employed in its
service." The resolution was' opposed,
one speaker declaring that the work
ingmen want no 'charity. He said that
"if we must have old age pensions, it
should come from the trades unions,
not from the Government. The reso
lution was unfavorably reported and
was not adopted. . '
Without entering Into a discussion
of the controversy in Eastern Oregon
concerning the irrigation of arid lands
it would seem to the Statesman that
there is ample room for the operations
ofboth the private" parties and com
panies, under the provisions of the
Carey act, and the Government, under
the new law passed S by the last 'Con
gress. There cannot be too much of
the arid lands of this state brought
under cultivation, until It is all in
profitable use, , nor t can tbe , work be
done too soon.' Of course, the actual
settler must be.' protected, for thti 1
the object of both laws. The areas of
arid lands s re tars t, snd there is room
and to spare for the operation of both
systems. . v The Statesman has for
years urged action Upon the part of
the state or H citizens " under the
Carey act. -The regret Is that it has
been so long delayed v The real
friends of Oregon will not spend any
time In ' bickering. They will ; urge
measures that will brine about .early
action, and persistent work.

assidiously in its efforts to prornot"
the industry and to gather oil us'ful
data obtainable for the benefit thertr

capped by the lack, of authority vested

that body andi prescribing its duties
the commissioners are obliged to travel
about and make , a personal Inp"-t i u
of all shipments of nursery stf ks.
which Is all very welt when it cau be
accomplished, but. oftentimes, during
the rush of the Shipping season. It
becomes impracticable for the commis
sioners to cover their territories satis
factorily as Is often the ense that therc
servlees are demanded In a number of
places at the same time, and it not In-'
frequently causcsr much delay and un
satisfactory results, both to 'the ship
