CIVILIANS AND TRANSPORTS.
Army Rules Constantly Evaded by
Officers and Friends

Omcers and Friends
1t is reported from Washington that
the war department is renewing its
efforts. to restrict the use of the trans
ports to officers and soldiers of the
army. Similar reports have reached
us before. They make periodic ap-
pearances, but the transports continue
to be filled with civilians, junketing
political personages and the sisters,
the cousins and the aunts of officers
and men, not to mention their wives,
children and servants, while the young
Subalterns continue to be thrust into
the cramped quarters 'tween-deck- to
accommodate persons who never wear
epaulettes or shoulder muskets.
The war department has not yet had
the hardihood to deny openly that fam
lilies of officers are entitled to free
transportation across the seas, but it
tries to limit the size of the families,
not infrequently with amusing results.
Not many months ago an infantry cap
tain applied for transportation for his
wife, two sisters and children. The
allowance of sisters was cut down one
half, only one being given accommoda-
lions. However, he managed to ring
in the rejected sister as the nurse to
his child. This shrewd solution of the
problem looked lovely and everybody
was happy until on arriving on board
the transport it was found that, while
the wife and other sister were given
cabin stateroOmS the nurse sister WINS
assigned to the steerage quarters with
the wives of enlisted men. Horrible!
The roar that arose was heard way up
Folsom street. The throats of both
sexes were taxed to express their hor-
ror and Indignation. The Quartermas-
ter captain was at once summoned and
lively protest made. OF course, the
story came out then and the fact that
the alleged nurse was really a brother
officers fair sister travelling in dis
guise was impressed upon the perplex-
ed quartermaster captain, who for
time took refuge in a quiet stateroom
to think out the situation. 1t was
finally patched up in some way and
both sisters taken to Manila. but the
nurse trick was not attempted again
by that family, although it has been
successfully worked at other times.
Another officer with a wife and two
sisters had less fortunate experience
only a few days ago. He had been Or
dered to the Philippines on special
duty. His application for his wife and
two sisters to accompany him was
frowned upon. He thereupon wrote
to the authorities, saying that his posi-
ton, being on special duty, was not
akin to that of those proceeding under
routine orders or routine duties. He
was in a class by himself, etc. Back
from Washington came telegram just
before the vessel sailed giving author
ity for the two sisters to accompany
the officer, but directing that the wife
would have to be left behind.-San

STORY OF THE CONGO STATE

Mr.. H. w. Wack, a New York law
yer, has written and published a book
entitled THE Story OF the Congo"
giving an account of the social, politi-
cal and economic aspects of the Bel
gian system of government in Central
Africa.
The book is interesting in
some portions, and probably true in
some particulars, but it is chiefly a
laudation Of King Leopold of Bel
GUM, whom Mr.. Wack visited, and
by whom he was accorded certain
privileges. The book as a whole
seems to have been inspired and was
probably paid for by old Leopold,
whom almost everybody regards as

the meanest and most INSCRIPTIONS
sovereign on earth, whose robbers
and extortions and enslavements and
extortions~ and enslavements and
slaughterings in the Congo State are
too we'll authenticated to be disproven
by such a one-sided and manifestly
prejudiced story as this. Mr.. Wack
never was in the Congo State, and
knows little or nothing about it or
its people except what he learned at
Brussels, by permission and under
the authority of King Leopold. This
horrible old king is one of the richest
men on earth, and has made his
money large by oppression and scoun.
drelism of one sort or another. He is
stingy, but has been vigorously at
tackled lately by Mark Twain and
other investigators of conditions in
the Congo State, and very likely
might loosen up enough to pay for
his version of Congo affairs in a book,
but no well-informed or unprejudiced
reader will believe much OF 1t.
Leopold has been a tyrant of the
meanest sort at home and abroad.
He has treated his own family shame
fully and heartlessly, so that his own
children found it impossible to live
with or near him. He cannot exer-
else his tyrannical nature enough to
suit him over the Belgians, for they
would dethrone him and perhaps end
his baneful existence If he tried to
do So and he is a foxy old creature;
so he got hold of the Congo State, a
very numerously populated country Of
Central Africa, inhabited by Negroes,
and proceeded with his benevolent
government there until at last ac-
count large proportion of the pop
ulation, amounting to many millions,
had by one process or another been
killed off, and the rest are practically
slaves. This is a very brief outline
of the other side of the story that the
old Belgian monster did not tell to
his eulogist, Attorney Wack. For
Leopold is old and cannot
live long, and when the world is re-
joicing at his death the dawn Of
better day may come to the such of
prosecuted, harried and bounded peo-
pie of Congo as have not then been
murdered.

same terms prefer electricity to gas.

EDITORIAL
MORE ABOUT GAS.

The probable fact that the Orego-
mans principal animating motive in
attacking the gas company is spleen
and spite against certain men who
own the gas plant because they also
own stock and advertise heavily in
the Journal is not an answer to the
facts which for some time past it has
been presenting in regard to the ex-
actions and extortions of the Portland
gas monopoly Except for these peo-
pies support of the Journal, the Ore
/. gonian might never have noticed their
shortcomings and longdoings; the
''irst families" might have been
among the best people On earth
Though not Elks), and Mr.. W. M.
Ladd would still have been a most
admirable business man and citizen.
Yet these probabilities, not to say
certainties, do not alter the facts
which the Oregonian presents, nor
the business Of the opinions expressed
by many citizens who are complain
ing both of the quality of the gas fur
nished and the cost. The price, as is
clearly seen by comparison with other
cities, many of them smaller than
Portland, is exhorbitant, and there is
plenty of evidence that the quality
is, to say the least, poor and not up
to the standard which consumers
have a right to expect. Besides this,
as we stated last week, great many
people have suspicious, il not positive
knowledge that there is something
wrong in many cases with the meters.
or with the reading Of them. There
are people who have paid at one time
only, say $3.50 for months gas, who
burning approximately the same
amount have been charged 81 or IS
the next month, and perhaps still
more the next, and when a sufficiently
vigorous complaint was made the
price fell back to the original amount,
for at least a month or two. Indeed,
the complaints have been so numer-
Gus and varied and vigorous, and in
many cases indignant, that the COM
plant clerk must have about the
hardest job, and deserves about the
largest salary, in town.
What is needed here, now that
Portland has grown to its present
proportions and is certain to grow
rapidly in the future, is a genuine op-
position company, operating under a :
franchise requiring gas Of good
standard quality to be furnished at
reasonable price, say not to exceed
rs cents per M; or if this cannot be
secured, then under the initiative the
city should proceed to erect and main
tain its own gas plant. This it should
do in any case, the same as it main
tains it's waterworks. Why not the
one as well as the other?
AS to the talk about a perpetual
franchise, we think the
courts would soon dispose of that
nonsense negatively. At least it is
certain that they should. When a
franchise becomes manifestly means
by which legality to rob tens of thou
sands of people, it has lost on the
broad ground of public policy the
right to an existence.
