Substantial Prosperity.

Much is said and written about the
prosperity of our people and the ad-
vancement of our country. Work is
plenty, wages are good, crops are
abundant, prices are fair and the out
look promising. An exchange says
1t may not have occurred to many
but it is true nevertheless, that one OF
the most convincing evidences that
our prosperity rests upon substan-
tial basis is the fact that despite all
the performances of frenzied tinanciers
insurance men and others, there
has been no panic nor any suspicion
of one. On the contrary, business of
all kinds has prospered, wages have
increased, the bank deposits have
piled up, foreign trade breaks all
records and no one fears for the out
come.

Banks and Railroads.

President Roosevelt's doctrine of
the square deal is intended by the
promulgator as literal interpreta-
tion of the term. Just now it means
the regulation of railroads by the
government to the end that neither is
the large shipper favored at the ex-
pense of the small shipper nor is the
honest railroad manager compelled to
rebate to meet the competition of the
dishonest manager. 1t means that
the public shall say how the books of
a railroa1office shall be kept, and
have the right to open them up for
government inspection, just as the
national banks now submit to gov
eminent inspection and regulation.
There was time when banking was
as free as the hardware business. The
banks appealed to the government for
the right and aid to issue paper money.
When competition and greed destroy
ed the square deal the government
said to the banks: 1--WE have given
you aid and power. We have the
right to regulate your business. ="
But the government did not try to
take over and own the banks. 1t
merely wished to enforce the square
deal.
This same government has given to
the railroads rights-of way through
the property of individuals. 1t has
given grants of empires of land and
great treasures of taxes. Now when
there is need Of enforcing the square
deal, president asserts that he is
opposed to the government owning
the railroads but he proposes to con-
gress that the government proceed to
inspect the books of the railroads
whenever it so desires and that it reg
ulate the railroads by passing judg-
ment upon the complaints of shippers
and enforcing reasonable rate
whenever it finds an existing rate to
be unreasonable. The doctrine of the
sduare deal need have no more OF
government ownership in it than the
police regulation of city.-Marshall,

More About The

A Second Letter by w. G. Elliott. Concerning
the Lewis And Clark Exposition. and
Forestry Building in Particular

Referring to some further notes on
the Exposition, | find that have
given much space to the forestry build
ing, which is FOG feet by 100 in size.
1t is gigantic log house, eXemplify-
ing in its composition the forest
wealth of Oregon and Washington.
Besides being timber exhibit it con-

as the different woods in their native
state. In its construction two miles
of logs five and six feet in diameter
were used, being left in the rough,
with the bark on. All the base logs
are feet in diameter and 81 feet long;
the logs above the base are three feet
through and vary in length. Colon
nades of immense fir trees 30 feet
high and six feet in diameter support
the galleries over the main entrances.
Picturesque balconies grace the ends
OF the building. The portico at one
entrance is supported by giant spruce
trees, at the other by magnificent
hemlocks. On the interior a colonnade
of 81 fir and cedar trees 40 feet high
supports the roof. Rustic stairways
and inside balconies extend around
the building, enabling the visitor to
study it carefully. No carpentry was
employed in construction, logs being
pinned together with tree nails and
wooden pins. These immense logs
were cut on the border of the Column
bia river, foated Is miles down the
Columbia and Willamette rivers,
thence into Guild Lake within the
Exposition grounds, and were then
raised to the building by means of a
big skidway 1900 feet long.

ings of some of the states l felt little

Indicted For Negligence.

Something new has occurred over
at Peoria, Illinois, namely the indict-
ment of prominent citizen for neg
ligence in the performance of his
official duties. 1t seems that the
superintendent of the city schools who
had held the position for many years
had for long time been embezzling
the school funds by packing the teach
ers' pay roll and pocketing the sur
plus. The gentleman to whom refer
ence is made above was chairman of
the finance committee whose duty it
was to see and know that the money
furnished by the district was properly
and honestly expended; at least that
it should not be embezzled. There is
no charge or suspicion against the
chairman except that of negligence in
the performance of duty. This action
of the grand jury at Peoria is some
thing refreshing and good beginning
to compel men who accept public
once 10 also accept anu Heet tuS Ie-
sponsibilities that go with it. 1t is
the general custom-far too general
for honest government-for directors
of banks, insurance and trust com
panies, members of school boards
and county boards to accept reports
made by officials as correct without
making careful investigation so as
to know that such reports are care
fully and honestly made. When it
becomes the rule to indict everybody
whose business it is to look after
these matters, in case of dishonest
transactions, reform will commence
in good earnest.
