REVELATION OF THE EARTHQUAKE.
Dishonest Construction Exposed b.
the TremOrs.
Portland oregonian.


Portland Oregonian.
Revelations made by the earthquake show
that some of the imposing structures that
made up the outward magnifcence of Stan
ford university were constructed with the
view to cheapness rather than stability,
though the cost was as great as if good
material, careful engineering skill and hon
est construction had entered into them.
Many structures including the library and
gymnasium buildings, and the gateway to
the campus, recently built at a cost of
$4,000, were thrown down like houses of
cardboard. Sadly viewing them, men pick
up pieces of mortar that should be hard
as rock and crumble it in their fingers,
while looking in vain for the steel retain
ing rods that, according to contract, should
have supported the masonry.
An object lesson in cheap workmanship
and material, employed at a cost of the
best in both lines, is presented by these
ruins. Here indeed is graft" grimly illus
trated; favoritism shamelessly exploited;
money wantonly wasted; confidence ruth
lessly violated. Mrs. Stanford might not
have been the wisest woman i'm the world,
but her generous intent toward the univer-
sity that bears the name of her lamented
son is unquestioned. She poured out her
money without stint in the hope and with
the purpose of making Stanford university
one of the stable institutions OF the land.
That she was imposed upon is made mani
fest by a sudden spasm of nature. The
revelation is a painful one. Its outcome
will be the modification in a subdued yet
striking sense OF the memorial features
of Stanford university and their substitu-
ton by elements that more fifty contribute
to the development Of a great educational
purpose.

RATE BILL AND OPPOSITION tactics.
Republicans may well view with
equanimity the partisan turn to which
the opposition in the senate is now
devoting every energy in the debate
and votes on rate bill amendments.
1t has from the first been perfectly
obvious that the opposition tactics
was either to secure, IL possible. divi-
sion among republicans, and, pretend
ing to support the president, to claim
credit for passing the rate measure,
or, If the republicans were able to per-
feet and pass 1t by party vote, then to
turn upon 1t all the batteries OF de-
nunciatiOn to prejudice the legislative
result In the popular mind for cam
paign purposes.
The democratic speeches now daily
filling the columns of the Congress
sional Record accordingly are not real
hand or directed to the merits of the
subject, but stump speeches. Neces-
sarily they take the form. in large
part. of arraignment of President
Roosevelt. 1t is deemed an absolute
partisan necessity to disparage him in
popular estimation, because otherwise
his endorsement of the rate measure
in its final form would blunt the point
of the democratic campaign now i'm
pending. Hence the systematic effort
TO misrepTesent the work of congress
as it nears conclusion and to impugn
the good faith of the president, now
that it is settled that he. backed by
the republican party, is able, without
a democratic vote and in spite of
democratic schemes to divide the re-
publican party, to carry rate legisla
ton through.
1t is merely a repetition of old
democratic tactics, but it cannot sue
coed with reference to a subject on
which public attention is as thor
oughly concentrated as it now is on
control of transportation corporations.
Publicity is also a safeguard against
partisan Misrepresentation and the
light of publicity never shone more
clearly on a great public act in all its
stages. In that light popular conf
dence in the president will grow
stronger as the results gained by and
embodied in the perfected rate meas
ure are weighed in mature public
judgment What is already known to
have been gained is notable vindica-
ton of his courage, his fidelity and his
power of leadership To have been
able to concentrate public opinion on
corporation control as a paramount
national need and thus to bring the
matter irresistibly upon congress is
by itself, under all the conditions. a
signal triumph. Even in the midst of
democratic Misrepresentation, now
going full length, every day marks
progress in embOdying that triumph
in law, and the people are not going
to be fooled for one minute.

A RESERVOIR ON THE PLAINS.

Some of our most influential and
wealthy ranchmen are discussing Sc
riously the building of a reservoir of
large capacity to conserve the flood
waters Of the Little Laramie. Up to
the present time no reservoir right
covering that stream has been granted
n 1t is deemed the part of wisdom
TO act early in the matter.
As the secretary of the interior has
indicated hat no more money would
be allotted under the reclamation act
for Wyoming until the projects now
under way have been worked out, it is
hardly believed within the realm of the
possible that a small project such as
the one presented would be taken up.
In any event it is thought by many that
it can be accomplished by private en-
terprise to the advantage of the pro-
motors and TO the profit OF the people
of the entire plains region. There is
SO much of aetall about the govern
ment projects that they are likely to
cost the people under them all thai
the land is worth, and If the Little Lar
annie project can be taken hold of by
men of push and energy, the cost can
certainly be reduced TO a minimum.
Nearly all those who are interested in
the project are large land owners, and
would therefore reap a double reward.
The water would not only bring a rich
return from the lands they till, but
1T would enhance the value of the land
they desire to sell at least tenfold.
Reservoirs are being constructed all
over the west. The government work
is squirting private individuals to ae.
ton and private capital is proving that
1t can do more work for less money
than the government engineers can ac-
complish. The government is restrict
ed by the law and quite often is handi
capped by incompetent engineers,
while private capital can go into the
market for labor and for its engineers
and take the best.
The Republican believes that the
men of the Laramie plains can build
the reservoir and that it would be i'm
mensely profitable for them to do so,
leaving the government entirely out of
the question.
