PORTLAND.
i
7IE BIG Broadway bridge at Port
. land was opened for traffic Tuee-
day with appropriate ceremonies.
It .marks another of the many great
strides Fortiand has,' made toward the
fulfillment of her destiny, toward that
time certain to come, when she will be
the biggest and most beautiful city on
the coast. This may seem a foolishly
optimietio statement to those who have
aot given the subject much study, but
without being unduly optimistic we be
lieve the future,, will demonstrate the
truth of this statement, and that Fort
land will eventually take rank above
San Francisco, Los Angejes or Seattle,
and will be the metropolis of the Pa
cific coast. The immensity of the timber
resources tributary to her, the fertile
-valleys lying like a string of emeralds,
between the Cascades and the Coast
range, the unequalled water pewer of
the state that will some days place the
state in the front rank as a manufac
turer, her situation on the direct line
of traffic between the Orient and our
own east, and Europe, as well as being
on the shortest line of communication
between the great sixth continent, and
her mother country, and more than all
the great cleft in the Cascades, where
Nature as though fore-seeing the needs
of mankind, with mighty hand removed
the mountain barrier, and sent the
great Columbia pouring its majestic
flood through it, to bear the commerce
of the Inland Empire on its broad bo
som, the Inland Empire itself, a veri
table treasure house, all these are hers.
. The completion of the big bridge
yeeterday solidifies the city. There is
only one Portland now; the Rose City
of the world, the queen city of the
Paeifie, the crowning gem in the great
ring sf the northwestern states, the
pride of Oregon.
THE ATMOSPHERE CLEARING.
THE city council thought better of it
Monday night and allowed the city
printing to still go to both local
papers. We are glad it took this ac
tion, not on account qf the fow paltry
dollars involved, but because the coun
eilmen acted in a manly way, and con
sidered the interests of the people rath
or than its own feelings. The Capital
Journal realizes that some of the coun
eilmen very naturally feel sore and bit
tfcr towards it. It also feels and be
libves that before long this foeling will
pass away, and the councilman will
know that the Capital Journal's course
has been correct. It has stood for the
right, for the broadest publicity in all
city affairs, for absolutely square deal
ing, for the city officials taking the
people into their confidence, and
against the system of dictatorship that
nas gradually yruwu up ui mo in;
council.
('oiinrilinen have! a rig1it,f as individ
uals to take opposite views on any
subject to those of the people, but once
understanding what the lattur.arc, they
should carry them out, for they sro the
people's representatives snd should do
the people's bidding even though it is
against their own personal judgment.
This, and this only, is what the Cap
ital Journal has advocated. It may be
that it has not at all times made its
eonld say "you're another" just as
easily and pointedly as any one else
could. It has called attention to some
political tricks, some sharp practices,
but these things belong to politics, or
at least are considered a necessary ad
junct to American political affairs, but
it has made no charges against any in
dividual other than this political by-
It has criticized the council for rais
ing the salary of the city attorney
while he was in office, not because it
objected to Attorney Page, or to the
amount of salary paid him. The office
is probably not now too high-salaried,
but it was the principle of raising the
salary of a person in office.
It has pointed out the carelessness of
the city council, in permitting the
charter amendment to be submitted
with a joker in it.
It has pointed out with the aid of
City Attorney Page, the bad condition
of the North Salem sewer proposition.
It has criticized the action of the
council in certain paving matters and
some other things, but it is willing to
submit to the calm judgment of the
councilmen themselves whether or not
its statements have not all been abso
lutely true.
The atmosphere has been somewhat
cleared, and the council is, we think,
disposed to got in touch with the peo
ple. We hope so, at least. We would
much rather commend than criticize,
and it certainly is better for the city if
the council, the city administration, the
people and the press all get on a
common ground where we can all boost
That Tired Feeling
That eomes to yon every spring is a sign that your blood is wanting ia
vitality, just as pimples and other eruptions are signs that it is impure.
Do not delay treatment, but begin at once to take Hood's Sarsaparilla,
which accomplishes its wonderful results, not simply because it contains
sarsaparilla, but because it combines the great curative principles of many
roots, barks, herbs and other valuable ingredients.

f THE OPEN FORUM I
A LAW THAT MAKES GOOD. If
THE Illinois legislature has before
it a bill that seems on the face
of it to fill a long felt want. It
provides that all children born out of
wedlock shall be legitimate, and that
the birth of a child shall constitute a
common law marriage between the pa
rents, and that it shall take the same
ptocedure in the courts to diasorve
such marriage as in all other mar
riages. No provision has been made
for cases wherein one of the parties is
already married, and this is made the
one serious objection to the law. It
would seem from this distance at least
that the law needs no other additions,
if the birth of a child constituted a
marriage, then the law would be worse
on married folks straying "from sim
ple virtue's unseductive paths," than
on unmarried ones, for by the act they
would commit bigamy, and be respon
sible criminally, as well as in heavy
damages to the other party. It is a
law that would cause some thinking as
"a condition precedent."

HMtt
Indorses Capital Journal.
I feel the editors of The Capital
Journal are worthy some bouquets.
Not because they are doing more than
their duty, for placing before its read
ers a principle of right and justice,
but because they are right, inasmuch
as they represent the interests of the
people. It is the custom of the day to
laud few as heroes while living, but
after they have braved this life, in the
face of sorest trials and bravest deeds,
and have closed their eyes on scenes
forever here, then they are remembered
as heroes. No expense is spared for
floral and funeral display, when the
faithful are past enjoying them. I
would extort the readers of The Jour
nal, and everyone else, to learn of their !
brave efforts on the side of right to
pay tribute, at times, with a floral
display of encouragement in their
"Open Forum." Help to hold up their
hands by making known to them our
appreciation of their untiring efforts.
I think it something of great credit,
that our city can boast of daily col
umns of the press, airing and discuss
ing the problems of interest to every
citizen and property holder.
A READER.
The automatic switch on South Com
mercial street is one of the most val
together for what the Capital Journal uable conveniences the P. E. & E. has
foels is tbo desire of all, a bigger and
better and a more prosperous Salem.
We are all in the same boat, all inter
ested in the same result the upbuild
ing of the city. We can't accomplish
this by pulling in opposite directions.
When the council and the administra
tion take the people into their confi
dence, show down their cards on the
table, and play open and above Board,
then there will be a unanimity of pur
pose, for there will be nothing to crit
icize. If mistakes are made they will
be the mistakes of all, and all will
shsro the blame and get together to
right any wrongs. The Capital Journal
has taken the side of the people and
it sincerely hopes that hereafter, it in
continuing to stay with the people, may
also be in accord with the entire city
government, and the latter with the
people.
TWISTING THE LION'S TAIL.
O EXATOR CHAMBERLAIN has in
.1 troducod a joint resolution to
abrogate the Hay-Pauncefote,
and Clayton-Bulwer treaties. He was
moved to this, or says he was, by the
Knglinh objection to the proposal to
lot American coastwise shipping pass
through the Panama canal free.
The webfoot senator waves Old
Glorv and flourishes Yanktnt Doodle
in the face of the Anglomaniars and
with a "give me liberty or give me
death, or another six years In the sen
stc, or any old thing," whoop up, he
points out how England is trying to
boss this country snd how Undo Sam
will be prevented giving the coast-tO'
coast shipping free tolls through the
installed since acquiring the property.
This notice is a bit premature, the
switch not being installed yet, but it is
something like what we will say about
it when it is installed, providing we
are still alive.
Councilman Stolz should buy one of
those Capital Journal dictionaries, and
try to discover the difference between
the meaning of the words "blackmail"
and "criticism." Does the council
man from the Third imagine we have
been trying to beat him out of his sup
ply of bungholes for vinegar barrels,
when he charges us with blackmail f
