Thd Portland Orogonlan headline had this Saturday, "Canal In Sight. En. glnewa Adopt Plan for The Dalles. Cost l only $4,125,000, Etc., Etc An open river at last, tho unsophis ticated reader will say. If there r.rc any still to unsophisticated In this New MlMHMtrl. It there, aro child QUUtde of the fuobkmluded yard of the asylum that Be thankful! For life, and money enough to buy Ayer's Pills tiaras 5(MSIIS N4gx believes tho "canal push" mean a word of tho above? It Is corporation guff to head off the state portage railroad. Haven't they been hurling their "boat-railway" slush and "ship-canal" rot for an open Columbia at the gulili blo public for forty years? And the Inland Empire has remained magnificently closed. And tho magnificent "open Columbia to tho sea" has remained closed tight er than a quohog clam In the presence of an assembly of seagulls. The Portland elevator trust wants the Columbia opened so badly. Tho fact that the Columbia ralsos over 100 feot at tho rapids at flood time shows that the whole canal pro ject Is ovorsour sclontlflc slop". Watar piped from tho Do8cbuto8 could be mado to supply a dead-wator canal that would not bo affected by high water, and cost not a quarter of tho proposed sum. Hut something llko that would be comprehensible, attainable and rea sonable. But It would yield no graft for tho canal push, and It might be brought to pass within a lifetime. A fl:nto portage railroad Is the quick est arid most practical solution of the blockade at The Dalles, and that Bhould not bo sidetracked by this latest outburst of corporation procras tination and official lmbeclllsm. Tho humor of the situation would disappear, and tho pleasurablo excite ment of throwing big projects in the air and catching thorn before thoy, come to oarth, would bo gone. It wouldn't be safe to spring a scheme that would cost less than $5, 000,000. An appropriation of $250,000 would open harbors llko Yaqulna, SI us law, Tillamook and Coos Bay to tho ocean going and coastwUo commorco of the Pacific and would benefit more than forty canals that will never be built, or be twenty years In building. A state iortage railroad will bring out all the products of thd Inland Em plro, but will not give the canal grafi) any chance for million dollar con tracts. The eminent Populist and Socialist, who Is -editor of tho Orogonlan, Is prob ably tho only public man In Oregon wlld-brnlnod onough to hollovo In tho ship-canal, boat-railway at Tho Dalles. He discounts even sllvery-tongued, long-haired Harry Watklns In his palmiest days. There was novor a populist paper In tlu state wild onough to swallow that gag for a momont, nnd thoy bellovcd In tho government doing ovorythfng, to putting clean diapers on tholr ba blow Thoro Isn't a two-by-four papar In tho Btato that will copy tho column of thlstlo-patch scourlnga nbout tho now est Dallos ship-canal plan. Yot it Is hurled sorlously with eight heudllnoa at tho buslnoss men of tho great Columbia basin, a solomnly-In-tondod press fabrication. It Is no nowa to say that It Is enly ono of a halt-contury of deceptions end cloudbursts of dust to blind tho poo pU and koop tho groa; river shut in thu lntorost of a fow corporations that are robbing old Orogon of half hor products, nnd preventing hor dovolop inont along every line. DEBATING SCHOOL. Tho young mon ot tho Orogon I-aw School havo a debating Bohool In con nection with tholr wqrk, ovary Satur day evening. Thoy got right down to work, uul tackle questions that ongngo tho best minds of tho country. Those young men roallie that a le gal education without forensic ability U n kind of one-lunged equipment. Dobnte Is not practiced enough In the schools, and the Idea prevails in many quarters that it is not worthy of rtudy. Tho rosult 13 there are almost no or atom In the legal profession, and very few In any other. The jouug men of the Oregon Law School nro to be commanded for per slstlng In learning to dobate. It was no accldont that men Ilk? Cicero, Charles Jamee Fox, Iftlnuind Duike, Wendell Phillips, Sumner and Webster were great orators and state men. Year devoted to labor made thorn what they were. Without debating IHiUlle queattana they would have been little heard of. The preparation for debate and par tlrlpatlon In debate makes a man ready aud puts lib) education to tho test ot utility. It tB where he can lay hands nn tt. I)' laying hie tongue and mind to tt on shprt notice. ' Debate means more than readiness of tongue. It involves study of human nature, and Mwhyologleal development of the Individual. It means also health for the mind and body ease of expression and a graceful oarrlatw of the body. Debate means culture In tho broadest sense. MAY 8ET PEOPLE THINKING. A mls!on Is liable to swamp a ra&g oxlue. So much zeal la developed that the real function ot the publication, which la to entertain, U forgotten. In Catarrh Invites Consumption It weakens tho delicate lung tissues, deranges tho digestive organs, and breaks down tho general health. It often causes headache and dizzi ness, Impairs tho taeto, smell and hearing, and affects tho voice Being a constitutional dlscaso it re quires a constitutional remedy. Hood's Sarsaparilla Radically nnd permanently cures ca tarrh of tho nose, throat, stomach, bowels, and mora delicate organn. Head tho testimonials. No substitute for Hood's ncU like Hood's. Bo sure to get Hood's. " I was troubled with catarrh 20 years. Seeing statetnunts ot cures by flood's Sar saparilla resolved to try It. Four bottles entirely cured me." Wiimam Shkbhait, 1030 0th St., Milwaukee, Wis. Hood's Sirsnparllla promises to euro and koops tho promise to this excess Everybody's Magazine, which has rccontly undertaken a cru sado against the ldolatry-of-rlchcs habit in America, Is obviously not to bo led. Tho Novomber contonts-tablc makes such a showing, presenting stories and sketches by amusing writ ers. Thcro Is no Intrusion ot a policy at all, and the reader 13 llkoly to And himself In tho midst of tho artlclo nbout "Successful Men Who Aro Not Rich" without dreaming that there le. a serious moral to it. It avers that the nation Is losing its Ideals, and that today success only moans wealth. The mllllonalro Is the modorn hero. Tho newost croed is: "Brains may ho moro Important than inonoy, but now a days tho nest way to convince the world that you have brains, is to make money.". The smart set of Now York Is frank in Us exclusion of people whq nro not rich, and 'has no place for statesmen, authors or scientists un less thoy havo monoy. On tho tthor hand, ho Instances Important men in thin country whoso position Ib a splen did protest against tho prevailing crazo. Tholr careers, as stated horo, aro certainly inspiring. Tho n-tlclo will Bet people thinking about certain significant tondcnclcs in modern life, o THE LIFE SPIRITUAL. Sad will bo tho day for any man when ho becomes absolutely content ed with tho llfo ho Is living, with the thoughts ho Is thinking, and tho deeds that ho fs doing; when thoro Is not forovor heating at tho doors of his soul some great deslro to do something largor, which ho knows that ho was meant and mado to do, bocauso ho Is a child of God. Tho Standard. Itov. F. C. Southworth says In Tho Christian HogiBtor, "Religion has coma to bo recognized not primarily as a phenomenon, to bo explained, or oven as nn ond to bo attained, but as a powor which men may uso." Tho Japan Mall reports that tho In tellectual llfo of Japan Is growing moro and moro Intonso, and the growth Is slowly killing tho old super stitions, and their attonJant train of prejudices. "What helped you ovor tho groat ob stacles ot llfo?" was asked a success ful man. "Tho other obstacles," ho replied. Tho Christian Life. Tho Unlvorstty Leader says, "Statis tics show that moro monoy Is spent in the Unltod Statos for chewing gum than for missions." THE 8PECIAL SESSION. Governor Chamborlaln Is right In placing the responsibility for a special st8ton whore it belongs on the leg islature itsolf. By Its careless work the legislature made a special soealon Inevitable, or let tho state go without taxes for a year. A special sosslon should bo held, ov en If It should sit for twenty days, end undertake other work than amending the- tax laws. As a sovoroign body the leelslatiiro Cannot agree In advance that it will sit for only three days or consider wilj, certain butlne. It could, with groat profit, create nn arbitration committee to consider oon- troverelee between the railroads and the shippers. Such an arbitration committee could hear beth sides, and render a decision, and the imrtlee interested could pay the bill. Why not arbitrate such controver sies as well as labor controversies? A consignor, a oanelgnee and a rail road man could settle all such mat tors. There Is netklng sacred about the legislature. Its utility should be for the people. Us convenience. Its wisdom, or IU folly are not to be considered whon tho people demand action for relief. NO MORE GRAVEL STREETS, Not the way we have been building them, at least Look at the seaa ot liquid aud I Where there Is any heavy traffla We havo n&seed the era of the dug- out, the ox-team and tho tal low-dip. We ought to bo past tho period when wa will build any more mudways. Let the next street built in Salem be pu. up according to Macadam. Let it be round enough to wash clean, and covered with broken rock or motal that will shed rain. Our streets are too wide and too flat, and built of tho wrong kind of material to be clean and sanitary. One street, built according to tho plans nnd specifications of modern street-building would revolution street-building here. RAILROAD TREATMENT OF ORE. GON. Orogon has been very fair and liber al In its treatment of tho railroads. Havo they been fair nnd llbornl In re turn? To read the complaints of business men nnd shippers, ono would concludo thnt thoro Is some ground for com plaint Will a reaction set In 4and be fol lowed by legislation to protect Ore gon interests, and how far will It ex tend? There Is no doubt but thnt Wash lngton will attempt to club tho cor poratlons Into moro liberal torms to tho business man and producer. That the legislature could enact v rate law that would bring nbout bet ter conditions In Orogln, there Is lit tlo doubt A railroad commission is too easy game for tho corporations. God knowe tho nvornge legislature Is easy enough. Is Orogon getting hor share of East ern advertising, of Eastern lmmlgra tlon, of promotion of her manufactur lng Interests? Thoso nro quostlons for public dis cussion. To read tho Orogonlan, our manufacturing nnd shipping interests nrs about paralyzed. It does not stand to roason that the people of a sovorolgn common wealth will long onduro such tn.at mwit. Will tho railroad magnates listen to rensonablo suggestions, or will thoy oxpodlto tho revolution? MMIHiatMWIIWIMM. f JOURNAL X-RAYS I Rov. David Errett is not easily dis couraged, nor is ho afraid of tackling n hard Job. Ho worked for Republi canism In Missouri, Justtco In Texas, and Is now advocating religion horo in Oregon. If It Is necessary to hold special cl)ct!on8 to fill vacancies In case a special sosslon of-tho legislature In callod, tlio most cxponslvo member will bo tho successor to Congressman Williamson. Three counties, Wasco, Crook and Lake would have to hold special elections to get ono senator. When It Is all sized up, It will bo plainly scon that tho United Statos has soe'eded from Colombia. Lcavons, tho Corvallls "oly Roll er," says: "Wesley was attacked by mobs whon ho founded tho Methodist church, but ho dlsplayod his itowcr whon ho dispersed tho crowds with words of wisdom." Tho Holy Rollers might do tho same, if thoy wore not short on both words and wisdom. Our ancestors drank wator, and no doubt it agreed with thom, long bo foro tho mlcroscopo revealed tho fact that It was full of dlnothorlums nnd ptorodoclyls and that tho frisky Icth youwums chased the mogatherlura through boundless spaco of a single drop. Now tho young M. D. bothers his bralnlet about microbos, germs and bacilli, whllo he looks wise, and talks rot. Orogon City accumulated two grass widows Friday. Judge McBrido fur nlihed tho grass. I.' wouldn't break tho hoarts of out business men If a city council should bo oloctod that would croate a sprink ling district, and so that tho dust wnc laid all along our business streets No one heard of General M. Emmett Urell, lately olected commander of tho Spanish War Veterans during the war, but he Is rapidly achieving fnmo, low that he has endorsed a patent med icine and his picture in a two-column cut Is shown In hundreds ot papers.
