Denial Of Strained Relations Be-
tween Rival Systems is

Portland. April 13.-The Telegram
says: Denial that strained relations
exist between the heads of the trans
continental systems OF railroads that
control the northwest trade seems fn-
tile, in view of what happened in New
York yesterday. when Mr.. Hartmann

between Portland and Pug Sound
points will demonstrate within tw'r
weeks that the war Is genuine and will
be fought to the bitter end. While the
Hill lines can claim a portion of Ore
gon traffic and the immense tonnage
OF transcontinental business laid down
at Portland or originating here, Az
the present time the Hartman lines
are practically shut out OF participa-
ton in Seattle and Tacoma traffic.
That is the reason the road Is to be
built. and by an, independent company.
ostensibly to protect the Hartman in
terests in certain existing agreements
until such time as it Is expedient to
take over the road. But the Northern
Pacific was not to be deceived and
was first to place it's engineers in the

would enable Hartman trains to enter

The MWeSt Newspaper Published North Interstate

according to his own ideas resulted
In the split of what the public was
'old would be the great example of
gentlemen's agreements" in railroad
affairs.
Harriman's holdings in the Secu-
rites company form considerable mi
nority OF the stock. and in the prac-
tlce of great corporations such a mi
nority is given the courtesy Of minor
ity representation in the board of di-
rectors, but not SO this time. II the
New York report is to be credited.
Mr Hill or his representatives may
assert that it is because of the an
nounced purpose of withdrawal of
Hartman stock but that is transpar-
ent. for even in that case the cour-
tesy would be none the less business
consideration of respect for vigorous
competitor. Underlying is apparent
the decision to in no wise permit Har-
riman interests to longer know the in
side workings of Hill companies, that
they are contemplating warfare with
the aggressive competing system.
Northwest Will Benefit.
AS has heretofore been told in the
Telegram, the northwest occupies
peculiar position as the beneficiary of
this battle between giants of American
railroad financiering and management.
Portland is the commercial center
about which must radiate this strug-
gle for maintaining traffic territory
and adding new traffic from the exclu-
initial points Of rival lines Building
of the Puget Sound line will be push
ed with all possible speed. unless the
trackage agreement to operate Harri-
man trains over Hill tracks should be
forced. How improbable that is may
be Cleaned from the fact that even sc
valuable and direct connection as
the Chicago. Milwaukee and ST. Paul
was recently denied traffic agreements
by the management of the Hill lines
in Dakota. where the road could only
act as a feeder for certain classes OF
traffic.

The President and Congress.
SAYS the Boston Globe

with the Senate blaming the President
for overstepping his rights, and the House
rebukinG the Senate for infringing on the
privileges of the lower branch, 1t looks as
If a course of lectures by some good au-
thority on the Constitution would be useful
now at Washington
No lectures are necessary. There is no
new situation here. The little differences
that have recently been aired are an old
story in Washington. Mr.. Roosevelt is not
the first President to collide with the SEN
ate, nor will he be the last. Even Mr.. Nc
Kinley. whose long service in the House
had made him expert in the matter of
congressional procedure, and whose temper
ament made him a master of diplomacy.
had his experience. The Senate keeps
close eye on the White House, and the
White House close eye on the Senate, and
both are right Neither should, nor is likely
to. overlook any important point in the
game.
AS for the Senate and the House, they
have been squarng off at each other and
scrapping almost from the beginning. Their
contentious are continuous. Each is for
ever accusing the other of disposition to
have it's own way at the expense of the
other: and the nagging on general principles
Is both witty and biting. The House signs
for the day when the rules of the Senate
are changed so as to limit debate in that
body, while the Senate charges that the
rules of the House have not only limited,
but put end to- debate over there. We
are told that nothing is debated until it
reaches the Senate, and that this explains
the numerous amendments made to bills
after they have passed the House.
The racket can never be stopped 1t
should never be stopped. 1t grows in part
out of the jealousies of Office, which are
good things. They keep the pool well
stirred keep men who are in Office vigilant.
Let US not be uneasy on this score at this
time or at any time. We are not likely to
have a man in the White House Indifferent
to the power or dignity of the place, nor
Senate or House careless at that end of
the avenue. We need not always take their
accusations against each other too serious
ly. They are mortal and not above playing
to the galleries. nor indisposed to pocketing
advantages gained in that way. Despite
the recent furry, everything is normal here.

Osler's Opinion.

Were ii not for the circumstances of the
delVerance and the earnestness of his ut
terance. DIR. Oslers dictum that men above
forty years of age are comparatively use
less TO the world and that men above sixty
years are absolutely useless, pronounced at
Baltimore yesterday. would sound like a
joke, a satiric commentary on some of the
recent movements by certain interests to
draw dead line CT age. But everything
points TO DR. Osler's sincerity. He was ad-
dressing a serious audience upon a serious
subject. and it must be taken for granted
that he meant his words to be taken at
face value.
That DIR. Osler is absolutely wrong will
be the immediate verdict of a great ma
jority of people. He Is addressing a packed
already fixed. Every man past sixty who
is not mental and physical wreck-and
such wrecks are by no means in the ma
jority-will naturally vote no" And every
man within the forty-to-sixty range OF
what Dr. Osler calls comparative useless
ness will pronounce his assertion ridiculous.
Finally, every man below forty years, save
perhaps those early in their twenties, when
confidence is at its height, will likewise
vote in the negative for the reason that 1t
is the rare man who honestly expects To
accomplish his maximum before the two
score mark is reached.
DIR. Osler has doubtless delivered an hon.
est opinion, based upon some scientific
studies and observations. But his very
profession marks his limitations and the

Whistling for Courage.

The peace outlook alternately brightens
and clouds. Yesterday the skies seemed to
promise clear weather There were signs
that Russia was willing to talk of terms for
ending the struggle. Then closely followed
the statement that the tentative peace pro-
posals accredited generally to Russia, Were
in fact attributable to Japan. Now comes
the emphatic declaration. through Berlin.
that the car has elected to continue the
war" And to make the case quite plain
the dispatch continues: THE war will be
pressed with the utmost energy. the domes-
tic situation being now within the control
of the authorities.
Now this sounds like the old Russia. 1t
has the true ring of the optimistic Musco-
wife The grand dukes and the bureau
Gratis must have recovered from their
shaking terrors It is easy to imagine
them gathering about the car and telling
him that Sergius was killed solely because
he a Jew batter, or was personally
disliked because of his extravaganza. His
taking off had no political significance, and
the warning of his assassin that others high
in the family and the imperial councils are
doomed was but a bit of foolish bravado.

down as a weaklng. a ''weIsher.'' who could

ton and incompetency in the army in Asia

Field Marshal Oyama cannot defeat Cen

thing doing in Manchuria quite different
from what the intently observant world has
supposed Hence these ringing words of
Russian resolution: How cowardly there

ceSsful war"
Again, the mark of the Muscovte shows
plainly. 1t Is typical of Russia always to
underrate the intelligence of the other fell
low. his knowledge. his resources. No
more complete or ptiable mismeasurement
of an antagonist was ever witnessed than
Russas estimate of Japan before the war
No more ludicrous misconception of the
worlds sense of humor was ever observed
than Russia's claim that the North
fisher boats were torpedo craft in dis
guise.
Russia has again moderated the world in
thus proclaiming confidence in the suppress
sion of the domestic turmoil and the defeat
of the Japanese. 1t thinks that its grave
yard whistling will be mistaken by the
nations as a trumpet blast of victory.

qualifications with which his dlctum is to

qualifications with which his dictum is to
be received. He Is psychologist. and 1t Is
as such that he has evidently approached
and to his own satisfaction answered the
question of mans climacteric. He Is all
right as a Psychologist, and all wrong as a
psychologist. He has judged from mate
rial and not mental standards, although he
seeks to justify himself by certain cita-
lions of achievements in the world OF
thought.
For every isolated instance of brilliant
work by men in their physical prime there
are dozens of cases of great work done by
men in their mental prime, and 1t Is always
to be remembered that brilliancy is less
needed by the world than greatness. 1t
may be true that there is, after forty, and
especially after sixty, a certain letting
down of the physical man. and it is nat
ural deduction by the psychologist that
there is corresponding letting down OF
the mental man. But is this true! Is
there no compensating gain from expert
ence to offset the lessening of the inventive
powers, the fire of genius?
Taking DR.. Osler seriously on his sug-
gestion that men over sixty might be
chloroformed without actual loss to the
world is quite as impossible as to accept
his general proposition.
