The public debt of France is six

Besides the treasury gold, put into
circulation in coins and certificates
we have more silver money of full
or partial legal tender quality than
any other country; more even than
British India. We have besides hun

federal bonds and as good as gold.
What stupidity in our currency

When interviewed by a Statesman

When interviewed by a Statesman
reporter, Superintendent Coolridge
stated that his visit to this city had
no special significance outside Of a
tour of inspection and a ride over
the new line to Woodburn this morn
ing Mr.. Coolridge also stated that
it was an assured fact that his COM
pany would have their cars running
between this city and Portland not
later than January l.
When asked in regard to the cars
which the company would use, Mr.
Coolridge said they on the road to
Portland and would be here in plen-
~ of time for the final opening of
the passenger traffic by the first Of
the year.
"The substations are of concrete
and are almost complete, and the
people can rest assured that when
we are once in running order 9TH
ing will be left undone to make the
service first class in every respect" +"
Mr. Coolridge stated that the SER
vice which will be rendered between
this city and Woodburn was inaug-
urated simply as an accommodation
to the public, and 1t would be con-
tinued until the company were pre-
pared to start their trolley coaches

FINANCIAL SITUATION IN 1888 AND 1907

The New York World reviews the
financial situation of 1898 and 1907
in the following graphic manner:
In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou
commencing the proposed. issue of
Panama canal bonds and short-term
government notes, President Roose-
welt said:
There is no analogy at all with
the way things were in 1893. On No
vember 80 Of that year there was in
the treasury but $161, 100000 in gold
On November IA of this year there
was s9O4,OOO,OOO of gold. Ten years
ago the circulation per captaa was
$23.23. 1t is now $33.23."
The marvel Of nation which
within one generation has grown rich
beyond all precedent or prophecy is
still more striking by comparison
with an earlier date than 1898.
The treasurer on July 1, 1851, with
great war just beginning, held of
both gold and silver $3,6OO,OOO--
only 81 for every $4,000 it now holds
Of gold alone. The circulation per
capita was S13, but gold had fled the
country at the threat Of war and the
treasury had been sapped by insult
ficient income. December 30, 1861
the New York banks suspended specia
payment
The bond sales of the Cleveland
administration 80 years later were
undertaken to replenish the treasury
gold reserve. The endless chain of
bond sales and gold drafts was pos
sibly largely because the govern
ments income was less than its ex-
penses. It borrowed money to spend.
Since then all uncertainty as to
what is the standard of value has
passed away. The income of the gov
eminent exceeds its expenditures. SO
far from needing money it has $780,
900 900 deposited in the banks. Every
dollar of the gold certificates issued |
has gold in the vaults to back It |

JUBILEE SINGERS PLEASE.
Give Secular Concert Saturday Even
ing and Sacred Music Sunday.

Saturday evening the Slayton
jubilee singers gave their concert in
the Methodist church, under the
auspices of the high school lecture
bureau, and last evening a sacred con-
cert was also given in the church
which was crowded for the event as
1t has never been before.
The Slayton troupe is one of the
best aggregations of colored musi-
clans ever here and their singing on
both occasions was thoroughly en-
joyed. Saturday evening the pro-
gram included many familiar south
ern melodies and almost every num-
Der was encored. Solos were render
ed by each member of the company
while many quartet selections were
also given. The program was so
varied that it never became tiresome
and few who were there but regret
ted when 1t was over.
The sacred concert last evening
was also highly enjoyed though the
program was necessarily shorter
than the evening before.
The next attractions by the lecture
bureau will be John Merrette Driver
who will be here on December 16 and
will lecture upon the subject:

her and would lay down their lives
for "the girl"
The scenery is magnificent, each

Miss Bryan as THE Girl From the

NEW NATIONAL PARK.
SENATOR DIXON HAS
SCHEME FOR MONTANA
New National Park in Northwestern
Montana Is PropOsed-Splendid
Mountain District With Marvellous
Natural Scenery May be Set Aside,
A Washington dispatch says:

Montana's new senator, Joseph M.
Dixon of Missoula, announces as his
first bill to be offered In the upper
house a measure for the creation of
a new national park in the northwest
part of Montana near the Canadian
border, on the western slope OF the
Rocky mountains.
Senator Dixon grows enthusiastic
when he talks about his proposed
park, and risks his reputation in as
serting that such grand scenery may
be found nowhere else on the Ameri-
can continent.
This tract" the senator says sis
in Flathead county, and contains the
most tremendous natural scenery in
the west, and that, of course, means
on the continent, because 1t must be
conceded by all who travel that the
west supplies the really grand scenery
for the American people.
Last summer l visited this region,
and was so impressed with the beau
ty and grandeur of the mountains and
ciers that l determined to draft a bill
for the creation of a national park
there, in order that It may be pre-
served for all time for all the people.
"There are mountain peaks by the
hundreds approximating 10000 feet
in altitude, glaciers by the score,
lakes in dozens-in short that locality
may well be designated the Switzer-
land of America. The glaciers are
said to be the remnant of the ice
fields formed during the glacial epoch
and I saw them 1000 feet thick, miles
wide and extending immense distan-
ces back in the mountains.
Minerals are not found there, and
no other conditions are present
which render 1t difficult to withdraw
the lands for the purpose I suggest.
Probably more varieties and
larger numbers OF wild game animals
are found there than anywhere else
in the country-caribou. elk, noun
tain goat, bear and big horn sheep.
ALREADY large numbers of tour
lists annually visit the region. and II
the national park be set aside II will
grow in favor with every passing
year. The bill shall introduce will
provide for the setting aside Of L.
100000 acres. and l have been en-
couraged to believe that the measure
will meet with no substantial opposi-
tion. but will be made a law"
Senator Dixon desires so far as he
may to forward the "see America
first" idea which has been advocated
in the past few years 'by prominent
citizens, and he believes that the
government should encourage the
plan by the creation of national
parks in localities of great natural
beauty, before their acquisition by
private interests shall have made such
projects highly expensive.

Wilson of The Dalles, the Elks fit
tingly observed their memorial Sun
day yesterday. The service began at

son and Miss Rowena Mathoit, of
Walla Walla, and a duet by Mrs

David B. ogden, assistant United

Texas rapids on the Snake river. Mr..
Ogden reports that the work on the
government projects along the river
are progressing rapidly, and that
more work will be accomplished this
year than at any time previous, says
the Dayton Courier-Press.
Seven hundred pounds Of powder
was set off recently at the upper
end of the Texas rapids, In all 4S
shots were fired and the effect was
far better than was anticipated. The
dredge Wallowa left down for Pine
Rapids and the drill scow will work
at Five Mile. only one crew remains
at Texas Rapids and the work of this
outfit will be finished by the first of
the week. With the departure of the
last scow from Texas the famous
rapid will be a thing of the past.

when I said his laundering had
caused a homesteader to make
three thirty-mile trips with his wit

the fault of the third trip upon the
then County Clerk who failed to
have the necessary blanks on
hand for making proof. The land
Office sends but one set of blanks
for each case, and in this instance
they had been used together with
the erroneous advertisement. Of
course the error in the publication
was unknown to the clerk; and,
after the land had been re-adver-
tised, when he was again called
upon to make out the papers
he could not do so because the
blanks for that case had been
used. So he continued the matter
from day to day until the blanks
could be procured from the Spring.

A New YORK pastor, according
to the Columbus, Ohio, Press Post,
stated that several years ago when
Mr.. Rockefeller was asked why he
did not retire from active business
the oil magnate replied:
81 am the trustee of the proper
ty of others through the provi-
dence of God, committed to my
care. | am the steward of vast in
terests belonging in great part to
widows and orphans and others
who are actually, or relativela-
poor. For this holding I am re-
sponsible to God. Were | to give
up my interest in the Standard

interests of these people, accord
ing to the popular supposition
that my withdrawal would hurt
the company's business. There

FROM Word and Works: "When

lecture on the "Prince of Peace

the 26th, 1907, stood and prayed
for Gods blessing on over one
hundred men who had risen for
prayer, that they might be saved,
he appeared at the very acme of
his greatness and strength. No
wonder strong men shed tears,
and no doubt God and angels be-
held and rejoiced. The humility
and faith and example of that mo-
ment lifted the character and in
fluence of the great statesman
higher into the sunlight of glory
and honor than all the climaxes

have characterized his distinguish
ed career. May the God of our

THIS pessimistic sheer is from

from what Indifferent cause a

come: "When Mrs. Katherine
Tingley, head of the Philosophical
society, heard that her brother, a
New York gambler, to whom she
had refused to speak for years,
was dying, she cabled from Eu-
rope that she would sail at once
and effect a reconciliation. Was
it not noble on the part of Mrs.
Tingley to o the ocean to make
peace with a dying relative? It
may be mentioned in connection,
however, that the brother was

sonal habits while great and grave
evils appeal for redress.
To most of the people who rep
resent this attitude, however, Mr..
Falkenhainer's offense will con-
sist, not in the actual failure to en-
force blue laws-since their habit
is to excuse that failure in preachy
oficials-but in his statement that
he does not favor them.
From time immemorial fat NOR
atty has been recognized as futile
by the very communities which
insisted upon it. Kansas City is
about to engage in a performance
of this kind.
Knowing that morality cannot
be legislated into people any more
than sectarianism can be, knowing
that no set of officials can mol1 or
correct the personal habits any
more than they can control the be-
liefs of individuals, the narrow re-
form element no longer insists up
on actual enforcement, but con-
tains itself with demanding only a
nominal official attitude, a show
of attempt and much talk.
1t is a poor way to train public
servants, exacting of them only
insincerity and compelling them
to slight the big and important
tasks of government.
Real public morality is some-
thing more than a prim sqeamish
ness for peccadilloes. 1t is a sound
purpose for serious things.
How is that for a polished and
refined ''roast' of our PecKsnifian
Governor? 1t strips from him
every vestige of exploited Right
eousness and leaves him naked tc
the sings and arrows of the
wicked. Why, o why, has the
P.-D. done this thing?
