were 3000 years ahead of the times and the fashions.
The Oregonian Thursday has a cartoon showing the commissioners of that
city being spanked by the voters. Thai picture is good so far as it goes, but it
strikes an outsidor that a showing that they were being kicked would have
come nearer being exact.

That little tendor ballad ""How Dry I Am," may yet become the motto to
be placed on many city flags in the state, and may take the place of "volit

Portland baa evidently reached the conclusion that it is best to take a lay
off on the debt-making business until she take stock and learns exactly where
she is at. Mayor Albee has been shown that he is not the whole thing.

ALL THE NORTHWEST INTERESTED.
ASTORIA is making a gallant fight for an open river, from Portland to
the sea, add especially for tho making of a channol through tlio Colum
bia rivci bar that will admit the largest ships afloat. She is putting up
lor own money with a prodigal hand to do her part and make her docks
and port all that they should be to accommodate tho commerce of the
world. Tho interest of the whoio state, and for that matter, of a large portion
of tho vast district, that must find outlet for its products down the Columbia
demand it. Few of us realize how great an empire this district is. Practically
all of eastern Oregon and Washington, all of Idaho and parts of Utah, Wyom
ing and Montana are interested in the opening and maintaining a deep channel
at the mouth of the Columbia, for all of thorn will have hotter access to the
market of the world through this channol than through any other. For this
reason there should be a unjrinimoiis action by every board of trade, city coun
cil, business organization in the whole district, in preparing and placing before
their representatives in congress the vast importance of the work. Nor should
it stop at that. Every mfm who can bring any influence to bear on congress
by personal letters, or in any other mannor, should get busy and stay busy un
til congress is impressed with tho importance of the matter and tho appropria
tion is made that will permit tho work to bo rushed to completion as fast as
money and men can do it. It is a mattter second only to tho opening of tho
canal at Panama, which has made the work tho more necessary,
Tho' spirit of tho whole country was evidonccil at the mooting of the Com
mercial club here Wednesday night, when tho mattor of recommending an ap
' proprintion of $1,500,000 for the work was presented. The president could
scarcely put tho motion, and ask all in favor of it to stand, when the whole
gathering was on its feot with a rush and a whoop that told of tho fooling be
hind it. Astoria has dono, and is doing her part, but she cannot do it all, and
we mint all stand in and work until the Columbia is open from tho metropolis
to the sea.
BEX EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW.
JUDGE HUNT, of tho fodernl court of Now York, is the latest' convert to
the doctrine of box equality. Ho has announced that hereafter no woman
convicted before him of smuggling shall oscape a prison sentence because
sho is a woman. His observation has convinced him, he says, that many
women, having paJd fines, have gone off laughing in thoir sloevos at the
government.
Tlioro is a wholly commendable effort, in many state of widely differing
dominions, to make tho laws squally fhlr for moii and women to remove stat
utory limitations on woman's control of property, right to labor, right to hor
earnings, right to posse her children in case of domestic difficulties, right to
hold offico nud vote, anl the like. It is only logic that there shall be no senti
mental avoidance of giving to woman equal penalty with man for the violation
of any laws.

THE SCARCITY OF GOLD.
HAT shall wo say of tho theory that prices rlso Btoadily because too
much gold is produced to moot tho needs of buslunst And what of tho
plan steadily to inrronse tho sir.o of each gold coin that its value may
keep nave with tho riso in cov.of living!
Wo shall sny that there is no such redundancy of gold. Tho idea
that the commonness of gold the world over is tho cause of rising prlcos, finds
little favor among bankers, It is indeed n patent fact that there is no such
surplus of precious motiil as to ehoaoi Its aetiuil or relative value. Tho
business World is suffering from a scarcity of gold which goes with exeossive
taxation, Both of thoso conditions are duo in nut to tho rush towards tho
cities and towards mhnu industries, but chiefly to tho demands of actual war
In the Balkans, and threatened war elsewhere in Eurno; and to frustrate war,
us showu in tho relation of Germany, Franco and Knglnnd. Hut other causes
cooperato to make gold scarce while prices still rise. For example, tho savings
of four huudred millions of Hindu are represented by British coin. In default
of banks, most of these savings aro burled In the ground. It Is estimated
that In Asia a much gold 1 roturnod to tho ground each year as is taken
from tho mines of the world. Assuming that each native of India saves one
pound each yew on the average, this would mean 2,000,000,000 withdrawn
each year from t Irculatlou,
Beside all this, millions of men are withdrawn by conscription and by en
listment from productive service, to become taxciitora on an enormous scale.
The capital of the world is largely spent In waste, and this to a degree which
i growing so rapidly is to exclto alurm among nil financier who look more
than ten years into the future.
The remedy, then, is not largo coins, nor a higher charge for seignornge,
but Ins waste. There is not enough of fowl or useful thing produced.. Too
many men aro working at useless things, and tho working and business world
have too many soldiers, protecting the men who work when the only protec
tion the working men of the world need is defense from tho necessity of fear

The call for Senator Booth to make the race the United States senator is
becoming louder, but he remains silent It is just as well for him to ponder
well before accepting. In his situation, with a good business and an abundance
of the world's goods, it is doubtful if he will gain anything by the title of U.
8. senator, especially with the added title, "from Oregon."
