CHICAGO, March IA dispatch

CHICAGO, March IA dispatch
to the Tribune from New York says:
Beyond the slightest doubt inner
wall Street believes cneck to general
business has resulted from the railroad
situation and that this check viii grow
more apparent. The activity of State
Legislatures has aroused thoroughly
the large railroad interests Of the
country. The cost Of borrowing money
has been increased, and there will be
q marked reduction in expenditures.
In an interview given by E. II. Har-
riman yesterday, on certain features Of
the railroad situation, ne said that two
kinds of courage are needed in devel-
oping and directing the affairs Of a
great railroad system. One is to make
large expenditures when times are dull
and the business outlook poor, and
thus secure labor. money and materials
at low cost.
The other kind of courage, he said.
is to be able to discontinue the ex-
penditure Of funds and the making Of
improvements when business Is good,
money dear and labor high. This kind
Of courage, he said, would enable the
railroad by waiting two or three years
to make improvements at a reduction

ton Of this he said that had Indiana

greatly blamed for resIgning from the
Senate, but his mistake was not lnI
reslgning, but in seeking to be re-
turned. He knew Garfield ana knew
the influence that would control his
administration, and knew that 10 re-
main In the Senate would result only
In continued humillations and a pos
sible break from his party. Conkling
did not lose by getting out Of the Sen
ate, but New York and the country at
large were the losers.

Now there Is a movement on foot

the Referendum, and there has. as far
as have been able to find out,not

for doing so.

ter states. The University state Col
lege. s400. .0e0; the University OF Idaho
/ s2so,oOo; while the University Of Cali
fornia gets sl.Oeo.0eo. The univer-
sity of Oregon has this year asked fol
S250.000. and the legislature after in
vestigating personally into the needs
or the institution. not only granted
the full amount asked for. but passed
the appropriation bill over the Gov
ernor's veto by only six dissenting
votes. Hitherto the maximum amount
granted the University has been only
$50 900 annually, and that compared to
what other state universities are get
ting Is indeed very small The State
Of Oregon Is not so far behind her Sis
ter state in wealth and resources as the
above would seem to indicate.
"All departments at the University
are crowded and will be still more so
next year, as large entering class Is
assured. The salaries paid here to
professo.s : md instructors are among
the lowest paid by any state univer-
slty anywhere in the Union; so the
money is by no means squandered,
1.-TWO of the main arguments ad-
vanced by those who would invoke the
Referendum are; first, that this ap-
propriation would materially increase
the burden OF the taxpayer; second,
that II would be better policy to dis
tribute this money among the vari-
ous grammar and high schools OF the
state and not make our educational
system too heavy"
'In answer TO the first OF these ar
guments 1t might be well TO ask the
gentlemen wno is strongly advocate
the Referendum, to take their paper
and pencil for few minutes, and they
would probably then be surprised 10
learn that should the appropriation be
withheld. the burden of the taxpayers
would be diminished by the insignih-
cant amount Of little less than TWEEN
ty (20) cents on every thousand dollars
worth of taxable property
"As for the second argument, II ap-
pears even less well founded. Were
this sum of money, involved in the ap-
preparation distributed among the varl
Gus grammar and high schools through
out the state, the share Of eacn school
would amount to only a few dollars,
the effect Of which would be scarcely
felt at all. Furthermore, the Univer-
sity and not the lower schools,sets the
pace in the educational system Of
state. The University, by increasing
its entrance requirements will raise
the standard Of the high schools which
in turn will react in a similar manner
upon the grammar schools.
THE last legislature determined to
make it possible for the University Of
oregon to improve her educational
facilities, so that in few years her
rank in the point Of efficiency, would
be second to none.
believing that you will work against
the Referendum and that you stand
for liberal and higher education, Where
by the sons and daughters Of Oregon
may the better fit themselves to serve
the commonwealth, l am, Yours truly,

Some months ago the United States postal laws and regulations were amended SC as 10 give that priv uega to buyers of post cards, put such concession was not made appli- cable to postal cards
 Tn order to remedy this tnconsist- ency and to prevent any further con fusion and annoyance to the public, Postmaster General Meyer recently promulgated an order, effective Aug ust l, 1907, providing that the face side of 3 postal card may be divided by vertical line placed approximate y one-third the distance from the left end of the card; the space 10 the left of the line to be used for q message. etc. the portion to the right 10 be used for the address only.
 4 very thin sheet Of paper may ba attached if it completely adheres to the card and such q plaster may bear both writing and printing. Advertise ments, illustrations or writing may appear on the back of the card and or the left third of the front. Postal cards bearing particles of glass, metal, mica, sand, tinsel, Or othe~ such substances, are declared to be unmailable, except when inclosed in envelopes with proper postage affixed, or when treated in such manner as will prevent the objectionable mater iaIs from being rubbed off Or injuring the hands Of persons handling the mails.

SENATOR CUIBERSON'S DEMOC.
 RACY.

United States Senator Charles A. Culberson has given Golfers Weekly delicious breath of true, strong Democracy It is refreshing and in vigorating to follow Senator Culber- sons words, inasmuch as he brushes away the oyerheated atmosphere of certain present-day fads and fallacies and cools and clarifies it with an aa vocacy of sound Democracy.
 The future of the Democratic par ty,' says the distinguished Texan, de pends upon it's adherence 10 it's fun damental principles. If there be any thing whatever in the utterances of it's founder, if there be anything in it's traditions and history, if there be any thing in the philosophy of it's profes-
 sion and action for more than a century, the party must oppose pa ternalism and contradiction.
 "Paternalism is that theory which would intrust to government the busi- ness Of the citizen. It comprises not only paternalsm proper, but it in- wolves the perversion Of the functions of government from public to private ends. Generalization is the theory which would augment the powers of the state governments by encroach- ments upon the rights of the people and the political subdivisions of the states, and that theory which would clothe the federal government with

bowers not delgated to 1t by the con- stitutIon
 Great as has been the offense of the Republican party in fostering pa ternalism. in peryerting the functions of government. and in encouraging centraIization of power under the state and federal authority, any single proposition in its history is a8 na9gh1
 when compared with he policy 2f government ownership and operation of all railways. which was first pro- posed as party measure by the Populist party and it's predecessors, Nor did the Federalist party eFer pro pose 2 measura so radical and far reaching. Not only would it work dangerous cenrraiization Of power. both in the state and federal govern ments. creating millions of additional Dartisan offices and controlling at the outset through political makinery, more than fifteen billions Of wealth but this measure enbodies the most advanced and aggravated form of pa- .ternalism ever seriously offered in free government, except perhaps it's PoDnlist companion measure, the sub treasury. Much as I resepct and ad n1ire and honor some who advocata this dogma. I can not conceive that the future of 6he Democratic party lies along this path, It could only lead to party qualification and to the corruption, subversion and destruc- ton of it's vital principles. Such doc trfne, indeed, implies and presupposes that the principle of the party are un- suited to the times; that indiVdaalism js gone; that centralization is wise and that the government is best which governs most. As the doctrine is bas- cd upon the proposition that public ownership is necessary wherever com petition is impracticable, it's logica and ultimate end is government own ership and opration of every business susceptible Of monopoly, whether ot carrier, producer Or dealer. and this is the essence Of socialism.
 The hope and the future Of the party rest, rather, in the preservation of it's ancient landmarks and the main tenance of it's organic faith. These include the control and regulation Of all public utilities and all property charged with 9 public use and trust, and if cGurageously applied they will be found equal 10 every emergency which can confront us as 3 people. Instead, therefore, of turning to new and foreign dognaas, let US lift ID tha old banner and declare old-fashionei truths are at the very root and foun- dalton of free institutions, and through them alone can the govern ment which the fathers conceived be preserved and maintained, and the fu- t0re of the Democratic party be as- sured"
 Every word Of this is true and sound. and this return to Der0oc- racy" so ably put by Senator CnI- person will not only meet with wide spread approval in the party, but will also contribute toward making the Texas senator even more conspicuous in the field Of possible standard-bea' CTS of Democracy.
