March
Tlu month of .March is full of star.-h, mi. I pepper too, ami. ginger; her div
ers gaits none, imitatcH, thero is no clienp infringer. Oho hour (die's gay and
mild an May, and nialies you think of fishing, lint while you look for lino and
hook, a blizzard comes a-BwiHliing. March kcciiim to King of balmy spring until
she. has you grinning' und thon, oils blood! your name is Mud, and Winter
lias an inning. March hums a tuno suggesting .luno or dreamy, mild Septem
ber, and while you list she gives a twist and brings in bleak December. This
rattlod maid, bold, unafraid, is playing tricks forever; to jolt our nerves with
crazy curves is always hor endeavor. Sh0 gives hh rain till wo complain of
pink pains in the gizzard; bIio gives us heat and winds am! sleet, ami thunder
storm and blizzard. Hho winks her eye and springs July, and then rings n
October, till wo see red and wish hor head were soaked till ho is sober. But
soon she'll glide, dad bing hor hido, And April, soft anil tender, will come and
smile in siren style, and fWl tho world with splendor.

PUBLIC CONTROL, OR.ELSE ANARCHY.
FEDERAL control of public utilities is liable in the near
future to be still further extended and to be the father
of a new line of corporation regulation in the Interna
tional control of international monopolies. As usual the
results will be forced by the corporations themselves, who seem
determined to so conduct their business that the people in self
defense will be driven to socialism. The latest in the trust line
is the taking over of the larger part of the meat business of
the Argentine, and so controlling the supply that in spite of
the relatively low price of meats in that country, the American
consumer will hot get a chance to put his teeth into an Argen
tine steak unless he pays the Armours, the Swifts and the meat
trust whatever it see's fit to charge him. This has been the
practice in all lines of business in America so long that the
special interests think it is a perfectly legal business matter.
We have stood for all kinds of trusts, but the end is in sight,
and the sooner the trusts get their business in shape for carry
ing them on legitimately the better for them. The law is after
them now, and they will do well to abide by the law. They will
find a different situation when the people driven to desperation
take the laws into their own hands. Unless the trusts profit
by the hand writing of the wall, this is what will happen.
Once they take hold of the matter the people will go to the
other extreme and will do unto them, that is they will rob them.
They will, driven by anger forthe trusts, as the trusts have
done them, that is they will rob them, They will, driven by
anger forget to be just, and there will be a rattling of dry bones
which will bo all that is left of the meat trust as well as all
others.
There is a feeling now that the punishment meted out to such
violators of the law as the trust Magnates is entirely insuf
ficient. They are beginning to demand that the trust managers
and tho corporation directors be punished by imprisonment, in
stead of fining tho stockholder for their offenses. This is the
proper remedy the appropriate punishment. A corporation
cannot commit a crime but its officers can, and do. Here is
where the trouble begnn, for it was soon discovered that under
our laws no matter what a corporation did, the utmost that it
could bo punished was a fine. This led to all kinds of violations
of the law as there was absolutely no punishment for the actual
criminal. Steps have alreudy been taken to change all this and
before long the directors and managers of big companies will
face the penitentiary when they violate tho law just as the com
mon everyday citizen now does.
When rich corporations control all the food supplies, and in
their inordinate greed starve the working people of the world,
deprive the laborer of food justly his, by lifting it tantalizingly
out of his reach, the doctrine of self protection will excuse any
lengths to which the persons sodeprived of food may go in get
ting their rights. The American people are law abiding and
they will, try ballots first in an effort to stop this criminal con
trol of food stuffs. If they win well and good, if they do not
we may well fear the resort to bullets instead and the rousing
of the human passions to the point where the class referred to,
the criminal exploiters of the great mass of tho population, will
be put out of the way just as mad dogs or any other menace to

life is disposed of now. Our lawmakers foresee this, though
they are not advertising it, and this is why there is so much
activity along the line of controlling trusts. This is also one
reason why the big fellows are coming to their senses and are
letting up in their grip on food supplies and letting their fel
low men at least have a chance to live.
THEY ARE TALKING FOR BUNCOMBE.
THOSE doughty congressmen and senators who are blowing
off at the mouth in opposition to the Panama canal free
tolls repeal, are playing politics, simply that and nothing
more. It is a fact that while America built the canal, the
American people own no coast-wise ships and the free toll pro
vision for this class of vessels means only a tribute to the ship
ping trust. As the Medford Mail-Tribune puts it: "Coastwise
commerce in American ports is already confined to American-'
owned ships. -To give them free access to the canal would
simply double the subsidy the people pay the trust, with its un
American policies and its alien crews. It will not benefit the
American people. ' Because the administration does
not follow the British policy in Mexico, recognize Huerta and
plunge into war, it is called weak and vacillating. Because it
recognizes the justice of Britain's claims for equal tolls at
Panama, it is denounced as a British sycophant. It is damned
when it opposes England and damned when it favors, regard
less of the merits of its attitude."
The Telegram has a very solid and sensible editorial on the
prohibition movement and says that while it realizes that the
prohibition sentiment is growing rapidly, and that the state and
perhaps nation will go dry, that it would prefer to see this
end reached rather through calm and deliberate reasoning, than
through excitement and under the influence of campmeeting
hysteria.
. A very proper stand, but it is evident Oregon is not to adopt
prohibition in that manner. That it is going to adopt it soon
is a certainty. To a disinterested observer it looks as though
when the coming election is over that Portland will be in the dry
column. It will not be there because Portland wants that re
sult, but because the balance of the state will force it on the
city.
President Wilson won the fiirst test vote on Panama canal
tolls in the house yesterday. He will win all the wav thrnnch
because he has a definite program, knows what he wants, and is
ngnt. ihe country is back of the president in this as well as
almost everything else he has set out to do.
Clabby, the prize fighter, for assaulting a policeman, has
been sentenced to live three years in California. This is an
other evidence of the extreme severity with which the law is
administered at times.
Ty Cobb is seeking other fields in congress. He has blossomed
out as an orator and is said to have made good the first time
at bat.
Another I. W. W. "army", this time from California, is
