A SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT

Those who were present Tuesday
night at the entertainment given at
The Methodist church by the boys
OF the physical culture classes of Mr..
Rose, pronounce the entertainment as
the best of its kind ever given in the
city The program was splendidly ar
ranged, every feature was strong and
richly pleasing. The drills and ex-
crclses showed the boys have profit
ed largely by their training during
the direction of Mr.. Rose.
There was good attendance at
the entertainment in spite of the big
counter attraction of the Army we'd

second Linco.

There are those not devoid of the
faculty of keen observation and of
cogent reasoning who believe that the
Oregon legislature will not discredit
the state by the election of Jonathan
Bourne to the United States senate.
Some papers and people support him
after fashion; that is, say that the
matter was settled last spring and the
legislature has no choice about it, but
only a perfunctory duty to perform;
but it is to be noticed that none of
them urge Bourne's election on his
own merits or as good thing for the
state, or make any attempt to answer
the arguments advanced against his
election. There is no enthusiasm and
little confidence among the Bourne
supporters, and most of them would
really be glad if he were defeated.
The trouble is that so many are afraid
to do what they know they ought to
do. The Dalles Optimist being prop
erly optimistic, says that THE night
mare of delusion, humbuggery and
bought-up thunder to boost monde
script party traitor and all-round faker
into the United States senate, has
about passed away, and as we sin
cerely hope and trust to be followed
by safe and sane" actions of the Ore
gon legislature to select some good,
sensible republican, of respectable an
tecedents and well known good char
acter and ability, to represent Oregon
along with Senator Fulton in the ser
ate.'

There will be an interesting fight in
the state of Washington when a sue
cessor to Senator Ankeny is to be
elected, though the chances are favor
able to his reelection, and it will be
pretty sure if King county (Seattle)
should support him. But Pierce coun-
ty (Tacoma) is anxious to have SEN
ator again and will spare no effort to
accomplish this end, having several
men who would fill the position cred
itably, the one most likely to be chosen
being Mr.. r. L. Mccormick, who is
perhaps, the greatest individual figure
in the business world of that city. Mr..
Mccormick would make a splendid
senator.

ly as to population, a medium figure
between the extremes, say 10000,
would probably not be far out of the
way, affording reason to suppose that
the city win be pretty well up to 200,-
900 year hence. Portland's growth
has always been steady, but gradual
and not very rapid, and while it is
growing much faster now than form
erly, there will be no phenomenal
boom.
The thing that will make Portland
a big city, rivaling San Francisco and
distancing Seattle, is great influx of
people into the tributary country, and
this will come only gradually, until
more railroads are built and the grip
of Hartman on this region is loosened.
The coming of the north bank Hill
railroad will do much to bring about
this result as will other railroads men,
toned in these columns heretofore,
when they shall be built on the ground
instead of on paper. When we get the
Hill road and two or three roads across
Oregon, east and west and north and
south, and electric lines up the valley
to Eugene, and various branches to
now undeveloped regions, and when
the Columbia bar is deepened to 35
or 40 feet and the Cello canal is in
progress, then we shall see ten peo-
pie coming to Oregon where one comes
now, and then Portland will grow as
much faster than it is growing now
as it's present growth exceeds that of
six or eight years ago. Ten years
hence Portland may be as large as
San Francisco is now; twenty years
hence it may have nearly if not quite
overtaken the Bay City. 1t depends
much on getting railroads and river
improvements. without them, on
large scale, Seattle will out run Port
land.
But the prospect for 1907 though not
so LUMINOSITY brilliant as some jour-
nalistic and other enthusiasts picture
it, is bright, and Portland will un-
doubtedly enjoy a very large measure
of prosperity this year.

people for the exalted Office of presi-
dent of the United States is an honor
UNNECESSARILY greater than to be reg
ularly nominated by a partisan con
vention. The American people have
upon more than one occasion decreed
ia advance of party conventions their
choice for leadership, and in few
instances have they failed to force
such recognition upon the nominating
convention.
In 1889 after the colonies had fought
a successful war against that tyrant
and oppressor Great Britain, the man
who was first in war, first in peace
and first in the hearts of his country
men" - George Washington - was
named by the people as their choice
for their country's first president.
From Washington to Roosevelt, with
the exception of the immortal Lincoln,
there has been no statesman who has
to larger degree, won the confidence
and generation of his fellow country
men by reason of sterling patriotism,
transendent ability and broad states
manship, than has the eminent senior
senator from Ohio, Joseph Benson
Foraker.
The American people are intelligent,
thoughtful and watchful, and no pub
lie man can hold for any length of time
their confidence and support unless
he is loyal and true to the best inter
ests of his country.
Senator Foraker has occupied a
commanding place in the politics of
his state and the nation for the past
quarter of a century, and as district
attorney of his home county, as gov
ernor of his state and as an United
States senator, he has ever been the
faithful guardian, the brilliant expo
nent and the loyal advocate of the
principles and policies of the Repub
lican party.
Senator Foraker is representative
of the very highest type of American
manhood and American craftsmanship,
having embibed his lessons in patriot
ism and love Of humanity at the knee
Of the great emancipator-Abr
Lincoln, and recent events conspire
the belief that in him shall be found a
second Lincoln.

senator.

The president has his very good and
strong points, as everybody knows, but
he occasionally makes a very ''bad
break" as it becomes more apparent
as time passes that he did in the mat
ter of the Japanese in San Francisco
attending the schools, and more
especially in his impulsive and arbi-
trary discharge of the colored troops
of the 18th infantry. Some western
white troops had a somewhat similar
escapade not long ago, and they were
not discharged, nor anything more
heard of it.

PoRTLAND's PROSPECTS.

The year 1906 was a big business
year for Portland, which showed a
greater increase by far in all lines OF
growth than in any previous year. and
the new year starts out promisingly
for even greater progress before an
other new years day comes again.
The Increase in new buildings. in bank
clearances, in postofice receipts, and
in the volume Of business generally,
indicates large increase Of popula-
ton during 1906. and 1907 will prob
ably show as good or perhaps better
record. While estimates differ great

Pacific Terminal Co. and only recently
for the Seattle and Portland Railway
Co. and no reasonable person could
find any objections. The Willamette
Iron and Steel Works maintain prob
ably the largest pay roll of any insti-
tuition in the city and it would be a
very short sighted policy to hamper
the company as some pot house poll
ticians tried to do but signally failed
in the attempt. When it comes to the
question of Pot House Politics VS.. Bus

PoTHoUsE POLITICS VS.. BUSINESS

The people generally will commend
the city council for its action in pass
ing over the mayors head the ordi-
nance vacating Hull street. The Will
lamette Iron and Steel Works asked
no more than was right and the street
should have been vacated without any
delay.
The residents and property owners
most effected look upon Mr. Corbett
as a benefactor since property values
and conditions generally have been i'm
proved by reason of the establishment
of the big iron and steel plant in that
section of the city.
Then why should they discriminate
against this concern since it has been
the policy of the city to vacate streets
similarly situated. It was done many
years ago in the case Of the Northern

THE LEGISLATURE.

According to present indications
Multnomah county, owing to inability
of the members from this county to
agree on either a president of the SEN
ate or a speaker of the house from
this county, will not obtain either Of
fee, which will be something unusual.
Unless some of the members now fav-
orable to Haines of Washington for
President and Davey of Marion for
speaker change their minds these men
will be elected, and probably without
any contest, as when it is seen that
they are sure to win nearly all mem
besr will want to show up among their
supporters. There is no especial rea-
son at this time why Multnomah
should have one of it's men in either
presiding chair, and it is well to let
these offices go around the state more
than they have done. There is not
likely to be any legislation of import
ance which could be materially affected
by the appointments or rulings of a
presiding officer, for if a majority Of
the members are really in earnest
about getting a law passed or prevent
ing the passage Of a bill, they will
carry out their will even if the pre-
siding officer and majority of the
committee having charge of the mat
ter are opposed to them. The legisla-
ture has some rather unusually i'm
portant business to attend to this win
ter and the presiding officers could
not prevent it's being done if they
wanted to, as probably they won't. but
will be of the same opinion as the ma
jority.
1t will be interesting, however, to
observe if the Multnomah county mem
bers split on important matters of leg
islation, as we'll as on organization.
1t is well known that there is a good
deal of inharmony among them, and
that factional hatchets are not very
deeply buried, but this may not ma
terially effect measures of Importance
to the state at large, such as railroad
regulation, taxation, irrigation and
other large questions. Politics need
not and should not show up much ex-
cept in the election of a United States
senator for the long term, and on that
matter it will be curious if out of the
eighty-three republicans a considerable
proportion do not insist on the election
of straight, worthy, reliable republi-
can, instead of Bryan-Freesilverite,
whose lavish expenditure of money en-
abled him to secure slight plurality
at the polls last spring.

EDITORIAL
THE MISSISSIPPI RACE WAR.

1t turns out that the Christmas race
riots" in Kemper county, Miss, in
which it was first stated, as is usual,
that negroes were responsible for the
trouble and chiefly guilty, were in
reality for the most part, merely a
shotgun lynching of perfectly limo
cent colored men, and the destruction
of innocent negroes houses and other
property, merely because one negro
had committed crime, or it was re-
ported that he had done So The dis
trict attorney in a public statement
said:
II found upon an investigation that
the trouble was caused by lot of
hoodlums and outlaws who openly vio-
lated all laws of God and man and
decency. The four men killed Christ
mas day were not connected with the
affair in any manner and I am in
formed that the houses burned were
occupied by negroes who were not
even in sympathy with any of those
who were connected with the outrages.
These men will be captured if it is in
the power of the state of Mississippi
to do so.''
Dispatches further stated that the
local death list is probably 10; that
the mob element among the whites
has mostly fed toward the Alabama
state line, while negroes in terror have
gathered at Scooba and Wahalak to
place themselves under the protection
of troops or Of citizens. The killing
of negro named Calvin Nicholson is
reported as zone of the most brutal
which has occurred since the days of
reconstruction" Nicholson was ne
gro of the best class. While a posse
was searching for a negro named
Simpson, who had killed deputy,
they entered Nicholson's house, and
several persons began shooting at him.
Something like this is frequently
the case. If one negro does something
wrong, or is charged with having done
so, it is not enough to capture and
lynch him, but a lot of malicious,
vicious and criminal hoodlums organ
ize mob and kill all the negroes they
can find and burn their houses, even
though they may be entirely inoffen-
sive and in reality incomparably bet
ter men, women and citizens than the
members Of the mob.
We say again, as we have often said,
that we have no objection to the full
legal punishment OF any negro who
commits crime Of any kind, north or
south, although considering the his
tory Of his race and his opportunities
he rather than a white man who com
mits the same crime is deserving of
leniency; but not only negroes but all
white men who believe in justice and
have respect for law ought unitedly to
protest against this discrimination
against the black man, against this
persecution, these lynchings of limo
cent people, merely on account of race
and color. Who can blame colored
men Of the south for sometimes doing
wrong and resorting to violence when
affairs like that in Mississippi occur
so frequently?

Greatest Year Since 1888

Chicago, Dec. 20. - More miles o.
railroad were constructed in the United
States during the last year than have
been built during any year since 1888,
according to the Railway Age. Since
January l last, 6,O67 miles of track
have been laid on 388 lines in "A states
and territories, making the country s
total railway mileage 223,319. The
largest amount of railway building dur
ing the year was done in Texas, where
7O1 miles Of track were laid Louisi-
