Oregon Is elf. /"

For many long years Oregon
ians have awaited the period of
recognition with what patience
they could. At times their pa
tience was taxed to the limit by
a refusal on the part of residents
in other parts Of the Union re-
fusing to do justice to their be-
loved Oregon. But it now seems
the perfections are being recog-
nized as is their due. An ex-
change contains the following

subject is one of extraordinary

burning question in such Sec

LOOMS SUCCESSOR.

a less audacious president than Mr..
Roosevelt would hardly have gone to
the Morgan directorates for first as
sistant secretary of state. But Mr..
Roosevelt is in the heyday of his pop
ularity This contempt of his for the
accepted prejudice of the county
against Wall street gives spice to his
appointment of Robert Bacon, says
the New York World.
After its experience with "Lomis
Acting" the public will be indulgent.
1t should be thankful that the state
department is finally rid of Loomis,
no matter who steps into his shoes.
Mr.. Bacon, however, has unquestion-
ed ability Few men of his years
have been so thoroughly schooled in
high finance. AS a director of the
Northern Securities company he must
appreciate the slight cost of over
stepping the law and as a director of
the Steel trust and anthracite coal
mining railroads he must realize the
convenience of skirting the law on the
safe side. To cultivate such fine dis
tinctions ought to help in the making
Of a truly clever diplomat
What Mr. Bacon knows of inter-
national law and the history of for
-eign affairs is still an unrevealed mys-
terry. It is said that as the representa-
tive of the railroad mine-owners at
the time of the anthracite coal strike
he showed promising talent as a di-
plomat' at the Washington conferences
which led to the appointment of the
Gray commission by President Roose-
welt. At any rate, he knows enough
to calculate the difference in time be-
tween Panama and Washington and
will not initiate "Loomis Acting" by
notifying American officials at Wash
ington that a revolution is under way
several hours before it has begun.
No doubt Mr.. Bacon Will acqul'
himself at his new post with diligence
and distinction. Secretary Roo
youches for him. which is saying
much. on the whole, since the ad
ministration is determined to go into
the business Of regulating the debt
of our weaker neighbors TO the soutf
it is not inappropriate that the state
department should engage the services
of an expert financial adviser.

YOUNG RUSSIA.

Revolutions and their martyrdoms
are peculiarly the business of the
young. Life at II and is is held
cheaply. There are then a chivalric
swing and dash which are crushed out
in later years. In Russia the crush
ing process seems to be administered
with conscientious thoroughness.
When it comes to revolutions it is the
school children who rush TO the front
of things, such boys and girls as we
try still to guard from the worlds
roughness, and at whose young phil
osophy we smile maturely. II see a
huge building" wrote Turgenieff, a
quarter of a century ago, "in the front
wall a narrow door, which is wide
open; beyond it stretches a dismal
darkness. Before the high threshold
stands a girl-a Russian girl &.
from the depths of the building a
slow, hollow voice is coming. % you
VINO would cross the threshold, do you
know what awaits you?
Cold, hunger, hatred, derision, con-
tempt, insults, prison. sunering, even
death?'" In a recent article there
Is an anecdote relating how, in a
small town, some II and 1S-year-old
girls and their boy friends had a
p!U SAINT little reading society, not US
ing forbidden" books, but such as
were accessible to all. The officer
commanding in that place saw his op-
portunity for advancement. The girls
and their friends were arrested, inn
prisoned, and sent to Siberia. Human
nature is no so flabby but that from
the murder of this innocent society
will spring up a dozen not so inno-
cent.
