SPEAKS AT
LABOR CELEBRATION.
Journalist Says Labor Day Should
Rank With July Adhered
by Crowd.

Norfolk, Sept. 2.-William Ran
dolph Hearst of New York, and Sam
uel Gompers, president Of the Amerl-
can Federation Of Labor, were the
principal speakers at the great labor
day celebration at Jamestown. The
weather was clear and the thousands
of people from all parts IF tidewater
Virginia, together with several' thou
sands here for the opening Of Grand
Ae1ie Of Eagles tomorrow attended.
Following; the address of welcome by
President Harry Tucker Of the ex-
position company, Hearst was intro
duced and was given an ovation.
William f. Hearst delivered the
labor day address at the exposition.
In part he said: Labor day should
rank with the fourth Of July as a
characteristic American holiday. The
fourth Of July commentaries the
means by which we gained our inde-
~oendence as nation and labor day
commemorate the means by which
We have made our nation the most
powerful. the most progressive, and
he most prosperous Of any in the
world. In this country labor is uni
,versal and is universally honored and
appreciated. I have no patience with
the prejudices which exist between
the alleged classes. when the classes
themselves really do not exist.
':There is no reason for hostility
between the employer and employe.
between the capitalist and wage ear
ner. Capital is but the elimination Of
wealth which employees and employ
er create together. Wages are but di-
visions Of the profits. Both the en-
ployer and the empoyee are entitled to
their share of the profits and as long
as the division is just and equitable
there is no occasion for a conflict.
eff the division is not just, it al
ways can be made so by arbitration
and there is still no occasion for
conflict. Such a condition Of class
hatred as has developed in Colorado
Is curse to this country. There
should be no prejudice entertained
by the capitalist toward the laborer
and there should be no prejudice by
tie laborer towards capitalists. The
yr".. financial promoters, organizers
and executives of America are wor-
thy Of recognition and reward. Let
them have their share Of that wealth
AS long a. that is the incentive which
stimulates them to useful. activity.
Tie 1iches they amass and call their

CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR.

In all probability Mayor Lane will
be a candidate for reelection. No
other democrat will try to get the
nomination if Lane wants it, and
would not succeed if he did. On the
other hand the political municipal
woods are full of republicans who
would like to be mayor, and each of
whom thinks he could be elected if
he could get the nomination. But
it is not at all certain that any repub-
lican could be elected. While Mayor
Lane has not given the city an adj
ministration that would render him
inyincible at all, it may take strong
republican and a good vote-getter to
beat him. After all the fault has
been foundwith the mayors official
record that would find responsive
sentiments among many voters, it
may as we'll be realized that a weak
or vulnerable republican candidate
would probably be beaten. Under
the present system the candidate will
be nominated by the republican vot-
ers in primary election, and it is
none too early for them to be con-
ferring together informally and cast
ing about for the best and strongest
man, and give him enough votes at
the primaries to nominate him.
Portland ought to have republi-
can mayor, not that the politics of
the chief executive of city is con-
sideration of the first Importance
but surely a city with 5000 or 1000
republican majority there must be a
number of republicans who would
make as good a mayor as Lane OF
any other democrat. Next year there
will be a presidential election, as
we'll as an election of county officers
and if party amounts to anything
at all it is matter of some import
ance for the majority party to hav,
the mayorship of the principal city o.
the state. Who is the best republi
can to nominate? Who will be mos
sure of defeating Lane? These arr
questions which republicans shoult
be considering, not only Individual,
but in groups.

THE "soLID NINE"

II any member of the council is to
get the nomination for mayor, which
at present seems very improbable, it
is not likely to be any one of the
s.solid nine," that after council
committee had almost unanimously
reported in favor of the repeal of the
gas company's franchise, voted
against this report, and would not
recommend such a repeal to the leg
islature. Even if there had been no
complaints against the gas company
substantiated, there appears no rea-
sonable excuse for any councilman
going on record against the repeal
of old, perpetual franchises. Such
franchises have passed out of date,
and should not exist any longer, and
nobody defends them, so why tn
"solid nine" should stand against a
repeal of one of these franchises is
inexplicable, unless
But particular and sufficient rea-
sons were adduced why this fran
chise, the first one nearly half CEN
tury old, should be repealed. 1t was
shown, according to the committee
report, and the public knows that
this report was founded on sufficient
evidence, that the gas furnished was
of poor quality, that the price was
unreasonably high, that meter read
ings were often manifestly wrong
and that the business was conducted
extensively to the public. Yet thu
"solid nine," as if for some sufficien
reason determined to commit politi
cal hari kari, refused to adopt tht
committees report. No we dom
think any OF this group will be mayo
nor even councilman again.

AN INSOLENT OCTOPUS.

1t is strange that the daily papers
that are so oltspoken in condemning
here and there a corporation are so
silent about that octopus, the Gen
eral Electric and Portland Railway
concern. Why do not the daily pap
ers, with all the resources they have
at command, take up the matter of
city lighting for instance? How
much does light for the city cost?
What proportion of the time are a
portion of the street lights out?
And if an ordinance provides for
paying the company only for burning
lights and not for poles standing in
darkness, is that ordinance enforced
when the light bill is presented? And
if not, why not? Furthermore,
how long are the people going to
submit to such a system anyway
lights only five, four or three nights
a week? Why in a great city like
Portland should people have to plod
home in the evening through total
darkness at the mercy of torn-up
streets and highwaymen? Is the
public completely at the mercy of
this arrogant, defiant company? And
If so, is there no means of relief? ?
Are the people going to put up with
such treatment continually and per-
petually?
AS for street car service, the case
is probably hopeless. The city might
get in a humor before long to take
over the lighting business, as il
ought to do, and handle it as it does
the water business, but to acquire
, and maintain and operate the stree
, car system would be a far greater
and more difficult matter. 1t would
seem that some legislation could b,
, enacted that would require the com
= pany to better its service somewhat

that Steel or Benson have any SUCH
ambition, and so they will scarcely
play politics with the commission as
much as the governor would; and
then neither of the three will get
either the whole credit or blame for
what the commission does or fails to
do. We think it would have been
rather good politics, however, to
have let the governor appoint, for
we believe the people will be very
tired of the commission, even in a
year. But if not that soon, they are
sure to be a little later.

FRED. DOUGLAS MEMORIAL

The proposition of the Frederick
Douglas Memorial and Historical as
sociation to raise by popular sub
scription a sum necessary to pay off
the indebtedness on the old Douglas
homestead is one that should appeal
to every loyal member of the race.
Frederick Douglas devoted his
whole life to the cause of his race
and to him probably more than any
other person do we owe our liber-
ties.
The granduer of the life and char
acter of this great race defender can
be exemplified in no more fitting
manner than by the preservation OF
the old homestead where the "sage
of Anacosta" spent the latter years
of his eventful life.
The race owes it to the memory
of it's greatest leader, most profound
thinker and eloquent champion, thai
this simple debt of. gratitude be pait
and thus preserve the old homestead
of the immortal Douglas.

A JUST BOYCOTT.

That the reasonable and respect
able people of Southern cities, at
least of Atlanta, do not approve of
mob murder of negroes, and that, as
the New Age has often claimed, such
part of Southern criminal hoodlums,
though encouraged and melted by
some ultra negrophobist prominent i
men and newspapers, the decadence
and extinction of the Atlanta News
shows. The News, at the time of
the wholesale mob murders in At
lanta, and on other occasions, was
one of the most noisy, unreasonable
and ferocious anti-negro and mob
melting papers in the south. 1t urged
on the hoodlum mob and gloried in ;
its work, and practically advocated
the violent extinction of the negro
race. This, it's then editor, John
Temple Graves, considered fine ex-
hibition of Southern "Chivalry." But
the people of Atlanta, even those
who have no great love for the col
ored people, could not lndorse such
extreme race hatred as this, and the
News was practically boycotted as d
reprehensible and dangerous fire.

says:
"The World presents it's compli-
