The railway mail clerk leads a

he must be in good condition or leave

Wages are far from as high as they

maximum salary is $1,000, but less

Taft is already on record as say
ing that the reforms promised In the
canvass must be real reforms. He
is starting out on the broad princi-
pie of keeping faith with the people.
The Roosevelt idea of playing the
game fairly and striking the line
hard is evidently also a leaf in Taft's
code of ethics. AS he favors tariff
revision that does revise, he will
doubtless also favor trust prOsecu-
ton that does prosecute. With this
example of meeting party pledges set
at the White House 1t will be fitting
for all who are playing the game to
follow the leader. Let party pledges
everywhere be kept and policies
maintained 1t will be easier then
to hold party lines intact and to
maintain the supremacy of party
organization.

OPEN RIVER TO THE SEA.

The fight for the open river that
has been so persisten.ly waged in
the Pacific Northwest has placed the
Columbia and Snake rivers promi-
rently on the map that lists the
nations great waterways, aud the
coming session of congress will
probably make ample appropriation
for these improvement in the rivers
and harbors bill.
The plan of an open river to the
sea by the Snake and Columbia riv-
ers has now the unqualified sane
tioin Of the chief of engineers. who
has incorporated favorable recon-
mendations in his report carrying
liberal approprial ions for the i'm
provement of the Columbia and the
Snake, to establish direct river COM
nlunication from Lewiston to tide
water. The chief Of engineers is in
sis ent that the CeIilO canal be hast
ened and to that end asks that it
be placed on the continuing con-
tract basis with the authorization
OF s1,000,00O per year until the
work Is completed, and he has
planned the Improvement Of the up
per river In such fashion as to
have it completed by The time the
canal is finished.
This strong recommendation, conf
ing as II does at time when the
waterways OF the nation are sub
ject of so much Investigation and ia
vorable comment on plans for ma
tional Improvement, it seems likely
that something definite will be done
to further the great need Of the Pa
cifiic Northwest. The work of the
Open River associations in maintain
ing traffic over part OF the river is
Gifted in the report as working for
the reduction of freight rates and a
still further reduction is anticipated
as the service on the upper river
is increased.
In this consection. it is encourag-
ing to note that the activity of the
Open River association has rather
increased than diminished even
though the government Is apparent
~ won to the proposition. State aid

tor. Oregon and Washington have
already made substantial appropria
tions, and Idaho will be asked at thu
coming session of the legilature t.
