- , "MAN CANNOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE."
AT the prohibition meeting at the armory Monday night, Mr.
Baker told the audience, as one of the reasons for ask
ing financial aid that on December 7th, when congress
assembled again, the party would get out the first num
ber of a daily newspaper devoted entirely to prohibition. He al
so said that two young men had advanced $50,000 to aid in this
work.
It may be this will be done, but when it is, it will be the big
gest mistake the prohibitionists ever made. A newspaper de
voted to one thing, confined practically to one subject, as this
one ould bo, is condemned to premature decay and a painful and
not too lingering death. Experience shows that no daily paper
devoted to any one subject can live. Industrial papers, farm
papers, make a success as weeklies, sometimes, but it is because
the readers can absorb a feed of the kind once a week, if it is
not too large, but as a daily diet it gets on one's nerves and be
comes nauseating. On Sundays it is soothing and pleasing to
hear the good old hymns. They are enjoyed and appreciated,
because the mind is not surcharged with them. But make ev
ery day Sunday, so arrange that all the music that is heard is
the same dozen or two hymns sung over and over day after day
and the desire to hear hymns will not be irresistable. It i3 so
with farm papers, with industrial papers, and it will be so with
prohibition or any other newspapers devoted to one subject.
The human mind demands change, just as does the human
stomach. The latter cannot get along with all proteins or all
starch or sugar.
The body would become anaemic and the digestive apparatus
disorganized. It is so with the mind. It must have change. It
. will tire of a steady diet of pro hibition? just as it will tire o an
'overdose of farm or chicken literature. Inside of a" month any
newspaper devoted to any one subject is no longer ' palatable.and
this regardless of the subject. Bryan's Commoner is an exam
ple. It stuck longer than most, such weekly sheets, but it had to
confess judgment at last, admit that its dope was administered
too frequently and change to a semi-monthly. Without mean
ing any slam at either Mr. Bryan or the Commoner, it will be
still further appreciated when it becomes a monthly;
The proposed prohibition "newspaper" will have a big run for
a few months, and then it will die of inanition, unless it is dif
ferent from hundreds of others of like character that have pre
ceded it, and are now "At rest."
OREGON IS AGAIN
. HE news is filtering out unofficially from railroad circles
that Oregon's development is to be sidetracked again in
favor of California and Washington. It is announced
that some $70,000,000 is to be expended in California by
the Southern Pacific, while the Hill lines will return to their
first love and devote nil their energies to the development of the
state of Washington.
By a tentative agreement between these two monopolistic
railroad systems, so it is asserte d on good authority, nbthing
will be done in Oregon for at least two years, except to complete
the unfinished Coos Ray line from Eugene, and establish Hill
terminals and docks at Flavel, near Astoria, for the purpose of
handling exposition business next year a plan which will in
jure the bulk of the travel taking the water road instead of
passing through Oregon overland.
It is a dirty deal for Oregon all around, and yet some mis
guided boosters are helping the program along by doing the
bidding of the railroad monopoly whenever they are asked to
get busy. For instance, they are fighting the unmerging suits
brought by the government, in an effort to smash the combine
and insure some real competition among the railway lines in the
West. Oregon suffers because its people lack the courage to
fight for their rights, like the people of California and Wash
ington do. In both states they have more stringent railroad
laws and regulations, and more active railroad commissions.
The result is that easy-going Oregonians see their interests ne
glected and are forced to wait until their sister states get all
they want before the slightest attention is paid to their needs.
Well, Oregon has waited fifty years for proper railroad de
velopment almost as long as Salem has waited for a new
Southern Pacific depot and we presume a few years more may
be endured with the usual patient equnamity.

TELEGRAPH REPORT
NEGLECTED.
Annpuncement is made that the president's youngest daugh
ter, Eleanor, will be married to Secretary McAdoo .May 8..
This is not official, but is said to be correct. It is said the af
fair will be private with the secretary's colleagues in the cabinet
the only guests, outside of the immediate family. Considering
that the president has had the tariff, currency and regional
bank bills, the canal tolls and two weddings on his hands in
the last few months, it is fair to presume that he has been rea
sonably busy..
Klaw & Erlinger fling their defi at Considine, and declare
that they are ready to have a real theatrical war. It will be well
staged and fought to a finish in . the newspapers, so long as the
latter will allow themselves to be worked by the limelighters.-
Colonel Roosevelt having assassinated a curculio, or something
of that kind, whatever it i3, is now hurrying home. Maybe it
is to take charge of the row seemingly imminent in Mexico.
