Cer tainly, he has been treated wlthv con sideration by hia party. The Gover nor evidently forgets that Senator Ful ton was his warm supporter in 1898, . anJ that -Clatsop county gave him the greatest majority ever accorded a i r- . ' ' . gubernatorial candidate. If Governor Geer were properly appreciative . be would now be lending his assistance tj ; Senator Pulton, instead of trying to j.kice obstacles In; his way." ; j. '"'fc Why speak of Governor Gw "per peluallyi in office," when he has bwn an office holder but four years In his , life? Secretary Dunbar ha4 ; been holding lucrative offices for eight years , from which service he sterrped hito the "office of Secretary of St-t, and to i which office he has just been re-elected for a second term. 'One year of his j. present office I worth all the ernoiu X rnents of Governor Geer's entire 4erm. i "Did 3he Astorian complain of keep : ing the Secretary of Stata-perpetualiy In oritJ--Tkej-rnans recorT-sctlon is t the effect that that question was . not ra1w---kbyany one in the state. ; j "Certainly heh been treated with consideration by h)s party." Then, to be' fair, the AstoflaH mut Insist that every other Itepubllcan who had on term in a luerat.ve ffice has "beeti :'. treated with corrldert.tlon" and should step aside. "SauW for the goose should be fairly gotMl dressing' for th gander." "It. is a poor rule that will not wok-k both. wa." 1 ; Everybody knows that If Senator Fulton had eome to the support ' 'of Governor Geer In the last stata corr vention he would have been easHy e nonilnated, and the Senator himfcelf would have "no obstacles In his way)' at thU time worth considering for 1 minute.1, lie tAks reueatHlly. urged to do thXbut as repeatedly refused. I was a great mistake. , ; j 13ut the, Statesman is quite sure thitt Governor Geer is putting no obstacles lit Mr. (Fulton's way save having ' an- . pealed to the people and having re ceived 45,ood votes Iti supio.rt of htf ' ; aniidaeir.. Under these circumstance "& proper appreciation" of the situa tion would constrain Mr, Fulton to withdraw from the contest altoeether. Ills refusal to give the people an op portunity to vote on his candidacy, and his decision, instead, to run for , the Legislature, -"was equivalent to public notice to the people of the state that he had decided to no become a candidate for the United Sftates Sen- ate, but for the Legtl.turei When Mr. Fulton takes his oath as State Senator he wll agree to support the Constitution of Oregon, which says Art. 4, Sec. 30: "No Senator or Rep - ' resentatlve shall, during the term for - which, he shall have been elected , be eligible; to any office, the election - to which Is vested in the "legislative As-i semblyy J ; ' j The only obstacles in the way of Mr- Fulton are the 43,000 votes given by the people for Governor Geer In a contest which the former had abandoned, and the' Constitution of . the state. I , The, Statesman feels very kindly to ; Mr. Fulton, but he should have got Into the race last June. ,.-" The man who openly refuses toaef cept an Invitation to enter a race that : is ree for all, should not be, the first to appear at the pool box and under take to gobble up the entire proceeds. Let ua play fair, Mr. Astorian. WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.

' In th first place,-there axe no Jew t!art"ereven Important appropriation bills which must be attended to 4 or -le some of the great departments of le Government will have to stop oi erA,tions for a lack' ot funds unless an extra session of the new Congress If called to provide them.

Some of them will( pass promptly! without debate, but others will provoke opposition .and there will be long discussion on them. 'i In addi tion to those bills each House has work of its own to attend to.' The Senate will have to take t up t.he , omnibus statehood bill passed by the House at the last session, and will also have to ct upon the Cuban reciprocity bill now; before It, or else devise a new ine. r.urtnermore, the Senate may have a. good deal of its time occupied by treaties with Colombia and with Cuba, which are now being negotiated iy Secretary Hay". - The House has before it the ship subsidy bill and the bill for the estab lishment of a Department of Com meroe, both of .which passed the Sen ate at the .. last session There fur ther remains to be settled the anti anarchy bill, which is now in confer -nee. ; It is not likely, however; tlwt the last named bill will occupy much time in either House, as' its passage It virtually assured. Finally some mea sure for definitely) arrart.ig Philippine c-urrency and tariffsMs urgently needed and will doubtless be presented early in the session. It will be seen that Congress has work ln plenty waiting for it, and is not going to have much time to give to new; issues. WHY AMERICA LEADS Progress is a.lways met with pro tests from those who from lack of en- ergy or deliberate stubbornness are opposed to the adoption of new meth ods. - As a. rule protests of this charac ter do llttuj good, people who do not hu.tl to kcp out of the way of prog ress usually get run over. That is the trouble' witlk England. The reason the United States haa been able tp step In and take possession of a large share of the trade of the country Is that the English m.uiufacturera ; have spent most of their, time protesting: when they should .have been practicing the American stride and getting in lim with the procession. A few days; ago the manufacturers of Manchester. England, held an indignation meeting and adopted resolutions protesting against -the action of the manager of the American electHeai works at thit piace. It ? -appears hai American methods have i beertadopted at thes works. The "workmen are paid 50 per cent more wages than English work men and are encouraged to work for the Interests of the company, the re sult being that, they do double the amount of work done. by British work men. The increased wages paid by the American concern has attracted from the English factories all their best workmen! The manufacturers want the Americans enjoined? from paying higher wages than they do and getting more work done..; This Incl dents contains the secret of the suc eess of the 'American invaaion of Eu ropean 'markets. It shows the super iority of American methods and the Improved condition of American work men over their fellows in the old world. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The Message of President Roosevelt, delivered to C.ongress yesterday. Is a most able ' one, and his recommenda tions and suggestions are all to the point, plain and .timely. He " goes straight. to the question In each matter treated, r : .:,: - '-,'v'' " ..'' - - . . v . .' ,; . ' ' -'.-" v ' . . Those people In the United States who have been alarmed at what atti tude tne President might assume tow ards tht so-called trusts may possess iheir souls In peace. : He does not ,ln reigh'aainst capital, or even combltta tlons of capital, or - combinations of combinations of capital, which make up the tt us ts." Where they subserve use ful purposes, they are good. But they must be regulated and put under prop er statutory regulations. In Order that they may not become instruments of evil and danger. .''. ;J. f Those people who have feared that the president might1 attack the protec tive tariff, one of the fundamentals of hSa party, are also agreeahly - disap p4nted. He separates the tariff from thtrusts in dealing with the latter. He shows plainly that tinkering with the tariff with a view to restraining the operations of the trusts might do vast harm to the country. He I con servatl vq on the tariff question. , He Is prthoiox. as be ought to be. He recommends measures or greater elasticity of the currency of the coun try. In order to meet the growing de mands of business-' He speaks In favor of a Department of Commerce. V. J No message of any President has been more direct, none more plaiiv and still none more able In treating of the is sues of the hour. r-' JOHN L. 8ULLIVAN. John Sullivan has come, finally, to the end of his tether. -- He Is without a cent, and he tells the newspapers that the world has been ungrateful to him. and complains that many,- of . those whom he befriended years, ago give him the cold shoulder. now - i What poor. old. fat. hard-drinking J broken-down John I; says now Is no malter in itself, but his reflections on the ingratitude of the world is an echo of what every dissolute failure of a man has said sinee the beginning of the human race. Hence John X. may be used as a type of his class. Sullivan's downfall was brought about by himself. He was free-handed in bis day f prosperity, but lie has no right to expect the beneficiaries of his prodigal! generosity to do more for him than he was willing to do for him self. Doubtless there are a doxen men who would put John on his feet again if there were the smallest ground 'or h?pe that he would keep, his feet. But everybody knows that Sullivan would be in the gutter within twenty four hours of his rehabilitation. The! drunkard has no good reason to find fault wi'tli 'the generosity of his friends or the; charity of the -world. Nearly every confirmed drunkard ' has had more chances and been forgiven more times than he deserved. As soon as a drunkard5ally and seriously re forms, his friends, as a rule, brace him up and help him forward. -But the or dinary drunkard will not let his friends So anything for him. If they give him noney,, fie spends It for drink. If they Ind hin work, he neglects It and ihames then. If they buy him clothes, ! he pawns-them. It is useless to help a nan that will' not help himself. ,y . . But the drunkard never blames .him self for his downfall. He is of the opin- on that his friends ought to support him and keep him in liquor. If they re fuse to be bothered with him during the short Intervals between sprees, when ack of rponei rings him to his sober senses, he accuses them of being ln jrates and misers. . . This is a trait not- only of drunkards. ut of other Incompetents: of the Id lers, the; day-dreamers, the Incapables. They lose place after place, drop lower tnJ lower, appeal again and again to .heir friends-for aid, and when tnose v'riends, wearied by so many importun ities, decline to do anything more, the incompetents cry "Ingratitude!" In most cases there could not be any foundation for the ingratitude charge. :ince these drunkards and general In- ompetents are mostly selfish to the jore. and hardly one of them ever real- y helped another man. Alcohol makes them believe 4hat they; were philan thropists in their heyday, but the sum jf their philanthropy was to buy liquor for every Tom, Dick and Harry : that would drink with them. TROUBLE THERE, TOO. The authorities at Washington have seemingly awakened to a knowledge! that the distribution of public lands in California is governed solely upon principles which make a private sn tp so desirable to some people. As a rule only our troubles receive an airing at Washington. -San Francisco Bulletin. : Some of the writers on the Oregon tan have been trying to give out the impression that Secretary of the In terior Hitchcock has Oregon .on the black list, and Oregon only, on account of the various attempts to gobble up the public lands In this state. There is a great deal of poppycock tbout all. this. On Tuesday the Oregon ian waa ad vising the State Land Board to raise the price of school lands. A good sug gestion. ? But the Board has not been veiling state-lands at the old prices In Western Oregon for some- time.. They have been advertising the lands for rsaie. In one case, a very good price was realised, seven or eight dollars an 'acra. In another, only a dollar and a half an acre--scarcely enough above she former price to pay the cost of the advertising. f;i I ;,, ;;:-- The State Land Board Is cs anxious as any one to realize the largest possi ble amount of money for the state school fund for the sile of state school ands. ... ... .'

As to the management of the Govern ment lands, let Mr." Hitchcock look to that himself. - He has no right to icast slurs upon the good name of Oregon on account of any acts ofhis own oi flcials, In fact. If Is highly Improb-J able that he has cast any such slurs. It is much more likely that the iufs were made up and cast for him, by cer tain Oregonians, themselves, for a pur pose. And it is mighty small business. THE STATE "LAND HOARD AND THE STATE LAWS. The Oregonian evinces a commenda ble desire to educate the people regard ing the public lands, both state and national, and is quite sure that so far as the state lands go, some one should be censured. The entire State Land Board should be censored if It can be done in any way that will direct , the entire blame onto the Governor Where this effort fails, " when it is kmly the "the lieu land abomination" that should be discussed, because the selection of lieu lands la under the exclusive juris diction of the Governor. ' ;" ;- The Statesman desires that, every thing connected, with " our state lands be made aa public as possible, and is sure that all officials connected with the land department court the fullest investigation of the land business, but at least an appearance of some kind o consistency should be shown in a pub lic discussion of the matter. Not many days since, commenting on a three-column dispatch from Salem under the head-lihe, "Voiding- Its Own Deeds," the Oregonian said that "our Salem dispatches this morning put the State Land Board in a very unfavor able light," and adds; : "Another apol ogy is that, the state makes SI. 25 . an acre on the lieu land transfer, : which many will regard as Insufficient recom pense for participating in the act of repudiating Its own deeds." But inquiry at the office of the Clerk of the Board discloses that not one complaint has ever teen made to the Bosr,d aii ; to any; attempt to "void any of its own deeds.! No man has deem ed himself badly enough hurt to even register a protest with the Land Board. All the members of the Land : Board know of this matter, so they Inform the Statesman is what they see In a pa per or two occasionally, whose efforts seem ' directed " toward a. slre to put our slter "under a cloud." What the Oregonian wants to ac complish In this land matter is not quite Clear. A. ' few days since. - in a rambling, disjointed roast of 'about everybody in the' public service at present, stae and otherwise, it assert ed, that "Oregon is suffering from two species of public land evil," ; and added: .;. . - - ' .' ' "WKh the exception of the special grants of Congress, the Influence and effect of whidh are generally conceded to be pernicious, the land policy of the United .States has been opposed to tying up large tracts of land under private control. But we see numerous Instances of tne violation of the bene- fioent policy, and careful laws of the country, asi, a result of which private corporations are feeding gluttonously off thev public bounty." And again: "Land that Is more valuable for Its forests than for agriculture la sold for a nominal price and . under restrictions that are calculated to distribute Its benefits among large numbers of peo ple." '.:.:: , ;:. ; ;.; The understanding of the Statesman Is that this "beneficent , policy" has been complied with In every particu lar, and that no larger tract of land has ever been sold to one man that the law allowed .'-"But after this Is done, will the Oregonian say either that; no man shall ever sell his right. to the land, or that It would even be a. good policy to require, If we could, that no man shall under any circumstances be allowed to own more than 320 acres of timber land? v -- " This beneficent policy has given the right to every citlxen, otherwise quali fied, to secure a limited amount of pur timber ' lands. What right - has any man who has stood by and neglected to exercise this right, to stand by the wayside and feebly rail at those who have? Now, candidly, does ; the Oregonian reckon the Booth-Kelly Company, for , instance as r "a private corporation feeding gluttonously off' the public bounty?:; .Honor bright. And if it Is rtoi such a private corporation will it piease name one? If it thinks It is not will It give reasons why it Is not, and If it thinks It is. will It give reasons why.

Put the Instltu scendent benefits resulting from the ilon In condition to go ahead and add enterprise of this Lane county firm, to its endowment fund, provide for rew How much could it have done had buildings and apparatus, and generally operations been confined to a fcajf see- tion of land in the foothills of Lane county? What Individual or Interest In the state is. hurt if a -purchaser of a half section of timber land decides , to sell It to the Booth-Kelly Company, which, in turn, will convert It Into merchandise to be added to the com merce of the state? . Or what Individual or Interest In the state would be helped If every holder j of a small tract of timber land should be compelled to keep it In , his .Individ ual possession, after he wanted to dla- pose of It? ; And is such a policy to be proposed by anybody seriously? I In discussing this' question last March, the Oregonian said: - "The gratification which It Is natural to feel in connection with the spirited movement In state lands, . reported from Salem, is mitigated by the fact that recent sales have been -largely, made to speculators. The lands, to be J. sure, would better be sold to specula- I ors than not sold at all, for In the en aW MAtilalira w W fsftfl Saarns $ body to take his land oft hia hand. w erKJr mu .!.. ..,. ... end, proveto be Important factors in the settlement and development of the country" But did not the Oregonian know last March, that speculator are sure to be come, "private corporations feeding gluttonously off the public bounty?! If we bad a law prohibiting every man who acquires a quarter section of timber' land from disposing of it ex cepting under a guarantee that the purchaser did riot own any other tim ber Jand. and would , agree to never buy any other timber land, an Ideal situation would prevail. Instead of a Booth-Kelly Company, for Instance, in Lane county there would, probably be a saw "mill on every section of timber land within her borders. But, perhaps, even -the "common' people of Lane county would object to the change. Nevertheless. - the Oregonian , was quite sure last Saturday "that is Is a fair presumption that this wholesale manipulation of public lands has been perfectly understood, not only by the State Land Board, but also by Commis sioner Hermann, Senators Mitchell and Simon and Representatives Tongue and Moody." What a lot of seals wags these public officers must be not to have had some sort of guarantee that neither now nor at any time In the future should any of our timber lands ever: be owned in larger tracts than 320 acres by any one man! '' ;;;;, And yet, we want the state develop ed; and that, too, while we are here ourselves. If possible. We' even want the Lewis and ' Clark Fair for that purpose". PENSIONS BY SOUTHERN PACIFIC - Says a California exchange: 'The Southern Pacific Railway, Company has brought sunshine and hope into thous ands of, homes by Its recent determin a tion to pension, its employes. - Men who have spent their best energies In building up the great corporation will be rewarded after twenty years cel. tinuous service -with an annuity ap proximating some 1325, while others in positions of larger responsibility will be provided for In proportion vo the salaries they now receive. "The fact that : other- railway com- '-. panies have enjoyed the privilege of establishing this beneflclent precedent Is no detraction from Vhe commendable step taken by the Southern Pacinc. The company was not obliged to emu late the system of philanthropy-In augurated by others, .nor do the labor unions require such stipulation "from large employers of labor. The value of this . generous act on the part of the company will soon be come manifest in various directions. The'men will perform their duties with lighter hearts, and a respect and con fidence will spring up between em ployer and employe that cannot be other than mutually beneficial. It was ueorge w . uniius. cor many years owner of the Philadelphia Public Led ger, who declared In his life that no employer had the right to accept the brawn and brain of those who had spent their lives in building up his fortune without providing- for them In old age. Mr. Childs so provided for his. employes, and his exa m pie wa s soon followed by such papers as the New York Sun. New York Tribune and the New York Journal of Commerce. The Pennsylvania was one of the first railway companies to inaugurate the pension system, and with such gratify ing results that others soon followed. Now It has reached California, and the Southern pacific has fallen Into line. "If the larger factories and mills and shops or the country alt adopted tb' generous policy, now few won id be the grievances of labor, and how soon would the disastrous friction between labor and" capital find a. pleasing solu tion. It Is surely an augury of a warmer relationship between: emolorer and empoyed." Tl.at last 15,00fr to wlpa out the debt of Willamette University ought to be provided.
