THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The installation of the Commercial
club in its new home marks an i'm
portant event in the life of this live
organization, and the enthusiasm
shown at the inspection smoker" Civ
en- Thursday night foretells a long
period of growing usefulness.
AS it was pointed out by eloquent
speakers, such an organization as The
Commercial club can de much toward
the material prosperity of this COM
munity, and that this club will live up
to its promises there is little doubt.
The speakers who addressed the
business men at Thursday nights re-
ception were filled with optimism for
the future well-b being of the city, and
the addresses of former Mayor Hunt
and Attorney F. A. Garrecht were
comprehensive in outlining not only
what the club has done in the past,
but what it can and will do in the flu
ture.
That the Commercial club will have
the support of all live business men
in the city goes without saying.
In view of the fact that the Com
mercial club is essentially a public
body. and in view of the great inn
portance of this organization to the
city. the question well might arise as
to whether or not it would be the part
of wisdom for the city to allow the
club to occupy the elegant quarters in
the city hall without charge The Off
GERS of the club seem to think that the
club can afford to pay a fair rental for
its quarters. but it occurs to The
Statesman that the money which goes
for rent could probably be better used
in other directions and it commends
to the new city council the ACCESSIBILITY
of studying this phase of the question.

Fulton that he would enter the race
and endeavor to retain the toga. Sen
ator Fulton hasn't exactly said that ne
would ask for the senatorship. but ne
won't say that he won't. which Is
taken to mean that he will fight 1t out
with Governor Chamberlain beIore
the coming legislature. Senator fui-
ton saws that Oregon, which is re-
publican. should not be represented IN
the United States senate by demo-
era; no matter what the people may
say about it.
I; is interesting to note the ATTITUDE
of the Oregon newspapers on this
rather peculiar situation. OF course
the papers which supported Chamber
lain in the contest before the people
now insist that the duty of the State
ment No. / legislators is plain. Inc
Oregonian. however, which is nlde-
bound republican and. which mas al
ways paid homage to the macnine'
seems to be in line with the Fulton
program On the other hand, The Tele-
gram. which was loyal in its support
of Cake in the June election, taxes
the stand that to defeat chamberlain
before the legislature would be s1mp-
ly anarchy.
The Telegram says:
s'But the moment the votes were
counted, and it appeared that Gov
ernor Chamberlain had received
plurality. from that moment The Tel
egram has been openly and aVoWedlJ
in favor of the confirmation by the
legislature of his popular election. IL
believed him just as much, and WIN
the same binding force, elected sena-
tor as it formerly believed him to
have been elected governor 1t was an
official expression of the will of the
people, and The Telegram will always
accept that without equivocatlon or
mental evasion. To do otherwise II
would regard as anarchy for the first
duty of a good citizen is peaceably to
abide by the will of the people as Off
cially expressed in the ballot boxes.
otherwise. indeed, popular govern
ment would cease to exist. There is
nothing, there can be nothing, more
fundamental than this. Destroy this
and popular government vanishes into
thin air.
Believing in popular government
The Telegram will frankly maintain
this attitude, and will neither connive
at nor countenance any effort, open or
underhand, to overturn the popular
will, as officially recorded on the sena-
torship in the June election. 1t will be
sorry day for the republican party
of the state if it permits its leaders to
incorporate grand larceny among the
principles through which it hopes to
maintain the respect and confidence of
its great army of adherents.'

"MUDDIED OATS AND FIAN-
NEILED FOOLS"

The failure of the British athletes 70
get in among the first ten places in
the Marathon race of &c miles recalls
Mr.. Kipling's rude reference in rhyme
co tennis and cricket as physical train
ing for men. The British athlete who
won the short distance race by going
over it alone after all the Americans
had been ruled off did not lower the
record as expected.
Now that runners no longer carry
news. the only utility of the long dis
lance race is to train the bodies of men
for endurance in certain vital crises.
The most eXacting of these is still war,
in which rail- Dads and horses cannot
always be relied upon to transport
troops with minimum of effort on
their own pa TT, as the telegraph and
telephone carry orders once borne ny
runners.
Armies still move on their feet and
the army taat cannot move cannot
fight. The British made that discovery
in South Africa, and Mr.. Kipling told
them what was the matter with them.
The Beers played with their new levies
from the slums of London and the ru-
raj cricket fields. The war dragged
till they got the husky Canadians and
Australians. like those who divided the
honors of endurance tests in the Olym-
pic games with the Americans
Two things are needful in long dis
lance marches; first to arrive, and

In effect, this amounts to the power IN
the hands of a few groups of corpora

The government has the power OF
unlimited taxation, and the govern

only theoretically. 1t has become OF

President Roosevelt has himself said
so, in effect. Hence a few very rlcn

A GREAT APPIAN WAY.

The suggestion of Ezra Meeker that
the old Oregon trail be converted into
a suitable highway across the CONT
making grand boulevard from some
point on the Atlantic coast to the P
cific is not new, many able articles
having been written on the subject.
Oneof the best was that contributed by
Julian Hawthorne several years ago
in a lengthy magazine article. 1t Will
be remembered during the dark days
of the nineties, when we heard so much
about Coxey's army and soup houses
were in sight everywhere, it was pro-
posed to set the unemployed to work
and build a great highway across the
continent. 1t is true we have several
highways across the continent. but
they are not the kind contemplated in
the proposed boulevard. The kind
asked for should be almost perfect III
construction, provided with easy grades
shaded with trees on each side, water
within easy reach and hOstelries at
frequent intervals. Such a highway
could be used by pedestrian, people IN
carriage, automobile or astride bicycle,
and would prove a means of crossing
the continent in a leisurely manner,
enabling the tourist to see the grand
anG beautiful in nature, of which there
Is a plenty on every hand.
Why not follow the suggestion If
Mr. Meeker and adopt the old Greg n
trail? In his recent trip east he mark
ed the line of the old trail by the
erection of several monuments. Be
sides, it is surrounded. by a halo that
can never fade, and as long as time
lasts will be a matter of interest. Fur
thermore, many wonderful things IN
nature are to be seen along the old
trail without scarcely leaving it that
are seldom thought of nowadays, which
would receive the study of new corners
as they did of the ArgOnauts in the
days of old. There is Chimney Rock
and Independence Rock on the Sweet
water river, and the Devils Gate, and
Soda Springs, and American Falls and
thousands of plans that could and
would receive personal consideration
that are now seen at glance or not
thought of at all. 1t would also be
within easy reach of Yellowstone Park,
the wonderful natural bridges in Utan,
the Grand Canyon of the COLORADO,
Great Salt Lake and other notable
points, where side trips could be made
without serious delay.
Let this great Appian way across the
continent be built. And the route to
be selected should be that traversed by
he rr-bn 70 ho
Pacific coast and gave it name and
habitation. 1t is historic ground. The
tolls, privations, hardships and suffer
ings of those who pioneered the way
are gone. The hostile Indian is no
more. Let us make of it a great
pleasure ground, where all may finger
and enjoy the sweets of our later civil
iZation.

saying: THE reversal of the enor-

company by Judge Landis will go far

TAFTsS ONE ISSUE.

Taft, in his speech Of acceptance,
raises one issue squarely which it
should be possible for all to under
stand He opposes the democratic plat
form declaration against guaranteed
bank deposits on the ground that tax
levied for the purpose would force the
honest banker to pay the losses that
follow the conduct Of dishonest ones
His criticism may be just as far as it
goes, but like most of such criticisms
when applied to proposed regulations
of the banking business, it does not go
far enough. Mr.. Taft, for instance, fails
to state why the innocent and unsuS-
pecting depositor should stand the
loss resulting from the conduct Of the
dishonest banker who is allowed to
continue in business by the govern
ment. Since the government and all
the banks are in sort of partnership
by the terms of which inspectors with
full authority to act, visit the banks
have an opportunity at least, to know
the manner in which business is con-
Quoted, it looks to a common deposit
tor as if the poor honest" banker
would not suffer So much from the acts
of the dishonest bankers. as the de-
positors do under present arrange
ment.
If Taft's argument is good for any
thing, it simply means that honest
bankers ought to protect themselves
by voting the republican ticket, while
depositors should protect themselves
by voting the democratic ticket-an
arrangement that would certainly be
atiCfactOrv To Mr. RrVan

WHY FACTORIES DO NOT LOCATE HERE

fore the Firth-Sterling Works were
opened. He ventured the assertion that
few OF the people OF Washington had
been there. much less had been disturbed
by the operation of the plant. He de
clared that would be the result with the
Anacostia lined with factories from the
point 10 Benning Bridge. where the splen-
did producing plant Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company stands,
the two being the pioneers Of others to
follow.
Maps Out Course OF work.
It would seem in the light of this dis
cusslon, which lasted less than half an
hour, that e long course of work was
mapped out for the Chamber Of Com
merce in smoothing the way for the com
ing OF factories to the city in the way of
trimming down legislative enactments
which initiate against the very well-being
of the city in forestaIIing the thing the
business community desires TO bring
about
At this l5osnt a remark made by a men,
Der Of the chamber early in the winter
seems ad rem. tt was that the chamber
should pay less attention 10 civic mat
teTs, which just at that time seemed 10
be occupying the entire time OF the meet
ings OF the body, and give a great deal
more time and attention 10 purely COM
mercial matters. If il is true, as was
badly stated at the last meeting, that
manufacturers are actually being kept
from locating in the city because Of the
restrictions placed upon mechanical oper-
ations. it is probably time - start a
movement for the mitigation Of these re-
quirements so as TO permit the location
of factories within certain well-defned
and specified limits along the river front.
