PORTLAND'S UNFORTUNATE r PLUTOCRATS Are Reasonably Happy and Still Work ing for Oregon's Advancement Des pite Many Grand-Motherly Scoldings Portland, Oct. 12. (Editorial Correspondence). For ono day at Portland I (locked In almost as bad company aa Tom Rlchnrdsou koops. I mot nothing but millionaires, and not even all of thorn woro admitted to mo. Llko Hnrvoy Scott at tho 'Jason Leo momorlal, I waa not so much honored by tho occasion as thoy woro by my presonco. Thoro wbh Home curloalty on my part to como in contact with tho wicked plu tocrats and persecuted huada ot tho Urst fnmlllua who nro revelling In 111 .gotton woalth, and who aro supposed "to bo HlUmtly and with abaahod ;JcndH down thu back streets from )iolr palace hotwoon Sixth and Tontli Htroota to tholr bnukH and ijtiuncliil JolntH, whuro thoy spin tho d,ark webs that nro oiiKulllng tho fn nocont nmaaim In ruin.

Ho -wore u huutod look. His shoos woro not polished, but that Sunny Jim Hinl)o mion camo back Into his coun tenance, as ho talked ovor old times, ADVANCING THEIR INTEREST "WE ENDMAVOR to ndvunco tho business Intorosta ot our custom ora In ovory legitimate way. In ao doing, our motlvoa may bo nomowhat tinctured with selfish ness, for upon the proaporlty ot It patrons hlugoa tho success ot ovury bank. Salem State Bank L. K. PAGE. President E. W.

Ho Is not a can dldato for the United States sonato, although ho Is ot Ronutorliil dlmeh- hIoiib, and theroforo deserves wntch- Ing. "Yoa," said Mllllonnlro Mills, "I shall bo up to tho leglslaturo a tow times this winter, Just to seo how tho boys perform. It Is llko going back to a school you onco attended. I in tend to continue to llvo In Oregon, If thoy will let mo. Thoro Is but qno blot and obstacle to tho still mora rapid development of tho stnto, and I need not mention what that la." I did not meet Win. M. Imdd. Ho Is Hunt, In hiding, I prosume, at proaent, auoklng to drlvo awny tho cloud ot caro that hangs over the Ufa ot all plutocrats, with such soft drinks and tlddledowlnk dissipations na aro pormlttud to a Presbytorlnu. Chnrlea Ladd taken hla place In tho bank, and thu awful magnitude of being n member ot tho Ladd family that resta Its vast fortunes In the tottering foundations of a tin-cup bank, does not visibly opprosa him. Tho Lndds continue to prosper and found Y. M. C. A and Y. W. C. As, and other corporations moro or less designed to help people with doodles of tainted wealth to u semblance of roapoctnblllty. M for Edgar P. Hill ho hud to go. As tho spiritual ad visors of tho little band of hunted plutocrats, Portland was mado too hot for him, and hla abashed fellows only mention hla name with bated breath and a "let-uo-forget" expres sion on their faces. Another ot tho hated class ot plu tocrats who grinds tho faces oft tho prolotarlt Is J. Thorburn Ross. His Tltlo Guaranty Trust Co., at Second and Washington streets, la employ ing hundreds of people, and the un fortunate poor aro rushing in by hundreds to swell tho deposits, of his savings department. Ross and his family nro making a tour of Europe. Ho seems to flourish in spite of an ocean of newspaper opprobrium and worse than all, Is of low origin start ing life as a Job printer. While it would bo hard to find any property in his name, or that he oven has where tc lay his head, ho has the confidence of a greater number of people than con some of us who have hold of tho lever that molds the minds of tho multitude. Ross controls a sreat deal of advertising, and it is distributed like tho rnln. Tho closest search did not reveal Joe Tenl, as ho has been all but. ob literated from Portland society. As soon as It was apparent that he was in the multi-plutocrat class ho was put on the black-list, and his name is Dennis. Besides being a Demo crat his control of treat wealth marks him as a dangerous man. Teal Is nleasant to meet. He seems to bo intelligent, and, but for the hated incubus of his millions, could get along fairly well. As It is ho wears tho same haunted look that attaches to persecution and tho reputation of belonging to the class that thirst for tho life-blood of tho submerged toll ers. How such men as Teal can ex ist nnd hold up their heads and look honest JournnllBts In tho face Is ono of tho mysteries of a city debauched by tho acquisitions of n heartless hordo of plutocrats, who nro making money hand ovor fist In advancing real estate, and pushing Portland trado to tho confines of Mexico, Alas ka nnd Asln. I did not meet Theo dore Wilcox, who Is East with Ladd, but ho Is said to bo tho worst ex- pansIonlBt In tho lot. I spent n few minutes with H. L. Plttock, rated at a million nnd a half, and F. W. Lead- b'otter, who controls a million In his own name. They havo a hand in many money-making enterprises, and aro recklessly scoklng for moro. While not yet branded as plutocrats of tho vicious typo, thoy nro liable to fall victims of this acrimonious dis tinction any dny. It Is not believed that they aro positively dangorous to socloty so long as Rooaevolt is Prcal dont, becauso wo common people can alwuys roly on Teddy putting a time ly spoke In tho wheel of tho un bridled aggressions and oncronch- monts of tho hated rich, With Roosovolt In tho White House, tho commonwealth can novor fall prey to tho far-reaching tentacles of men llko Lendbottor and Plttock. Whllo In tholr dangorous com pany I met Tod Piper, who has boon devoting unnecessary Bpaco to mo as a candldato for collector of customs. Ho Is not known as suffering from tho bad smell attaching to tho mll llonnlro clnss. but has at least twlco boon misrepresented as bolonglng to tho clrolo that Is so constantly bo Ing mado moro offonslvo to tho American pooplo. Whon ho loft Se attle it was published on him that ho had sold hla Interests In tho P. I. for at lomt a million. Ho humbly nc-. coptod a $20 a week Job on an Ore uon newspaper. Rut soon tho furth er blot waa cast on his roputatlon in that fortunate investments in tho Texas oil Holds had brought him again Into the Invldloua class. Ot course, ho Is not in himself a dangor ous man, and so long as wo havo Teddy In tho White House wo neod not fear Teddy In tho Tall ToworJ oven though possessed ot dangorous accumulations ot tho tnlnted. I must apologize for mentioning tho two Toddles In' ono broath, but It ia al ways so easy to descend from tho sublime to tho ridiculous. Tho sec ond Teddy was full ot his most genial plcnsautrlos. Ho said ho hud Just mot a man who threatened to stop taking tho Oregonlnn becauso It devoted much editorial apace to me. "Why do you pay so much attention to that follow HoforT Can't you seo that's all ho'a after, to get you to even mention hla name?" Of rourso, anyone should bo su premely happy to bo oven noticed or quoted, and I tried to express my 1 i gratification with a Roosoveltian grin of appreciation that displayed my an terior molars. I might havo told my friend Piper that no ono had threat ened to stop my paper for mention ing or not mentioning him. Teddy i3 an aid to digestion, any way you take him. It would be Impossible In one day or one newspaper article to mention all tho Portland millionaires who are held up in continuous lofty scorn by the anti-plutocratic press. Some of the millionaires havo on account of ace. or some other specially redeem ing quality, escaped excoriation. Among these nro Jacob Karam, Sr., aged over 80, but who has never dabbled in building electric lines, gas works or promotion enterprises. Captain J. C. Ainsworth, of the United States Bank; Henry Wagner, of tho Welnhardt properties; I. N. Flelschner and Sanford HIrsch, are millionaires who havo not yet been flayed Individually, but their time will come. Men of great wealth must bo taught to fear tho power of a wise and discriminative editorial management. Another king of Pa cific coast plutocrats on my visiting list is II. W. Goodo, who, like Wil cox, camo up from some lowly oc cupation llko bank teller, and is now president of tho General Electric, Portland Street Railway, O. W. P. Co. and the holding corporation or ganlod by tho Clarkes, of Philadel phia, and the Seligmans of New York, all in tho same venal class of exploiters. Goodo wa3 president of the electric in 1892, and, considering his lack of advantages, and for hav ing his lost cast almost entirely with the despised possessors of great riches, and an unbroken ascent to detested plutocracy, ho Is still pos sessed of somo business traits. As presldont of tho Lewis and Clark fair ho went up against all the rag- chowlng of tho state commission and romalned in possesion of unimpaired fncultios. Ills ambition tp glvo Sa lom and Vancouver as good lighting rates and street oar service as Port land, puts him almost In the class of public benefactors. But take the whole aggregation of Portland mil lionaires, and where Is thoro anoth er city tho slzo of Portlnnd that has so much to contend with In way of concentrated wealth that keeps on concentrating and piling up? There should bo somo wny to stop It. It cnniTiQ linu'nvnr. thnrr Is nn wnv to keep tho millionaires from spreading out and ncqulrlng moro property, moro millions. Tho only power that will srtvo tho community from their ruinous domination Is nn absolutely fearless and honest press. E. HOFER. A Young Mother at 70. "My mother has suddenly been mndo young at 70.
