THE POOR MANS CHANCE.

The wealthy man can afford to
wait for years for that $500 and can
afford to carry tie case on, but the
poor mar cannot do it. That $500 he
needs, and needs it at once, if he is 60
ing TO get it, and if not he needs to
know that at once and not be put to
the expense of extended counsel fees
and appeals. 1t is better that the case
should be decided against him than
that he should lose five or six years and
finally win aft-~ he has paid out the
amount in attorneys fees"
The friends of William H. Taft,
meaning those who really like him as
a man. have told us of his great legal
learning and of the splendid develop
ment of mind he has achieved as a re-
suit of his judicial and administrative
inclined to take this view too serious
ly. The Statesman takes occasion to
call attention to the above excerpt of
an interview given by Mr.. Taft to the
Associated Press Saturday night and
printed in all Associated Press papers
Sunday morning.
Comment on such a statement is en-
tirely unnecessary Better than any de-
scriptive words, this bald statement
shows the trend of the mind of this
man whom the interests would make
president of the United States.

ABOUT GOOD ROADS.

Wilbur X. Newell, president of the
Oregon state board of horticulture, and
equally well known in Washington, has
at the request of the oregon Develop
ment league. condensed his ideas on
good roads into one hundred words,
and they tell the story:
Bad roads nullify advertising. re-
pei immigra zion, increase cost of living.
render the automobile useless, and will
deprive the farmer of rural free de-
livery.
state aid and supervision OF road
construction is essential.
In equity-becauSe a public bene-
f.. state should pay twenty-five per
cent Of the cost, county fifty per cent,
and the adjacent property twenty-five
per cent.
For thOroughnesS-tr engineer
and strict supervision of all work.
For economy-levy taxes and pay
as we go, or on short time certificate
plan.
For education-regular and CORE
spondence courses in road building at
oregon Agricultural college and Uni
versity of Oregon.

HIS CHECK WAS GOOD.

Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan of Standard
Oil fame, went to London the other
day and put up in quiet way at the
West End hotel. Shortly after he sent
check down to the clerk for $100.
which was promptly paid. In few
minutes later he sent another check
for $3.50. This was coming very fast.
The cashier consulted with the pro-
prietor. The proprietor Immediately
consulted the gazetteer to find out the
standing of this marvellous gutst who
sent two checks. one for 500 and one
for $3.50 within a few minutes of each
other. He looked over the list, with
the result that he told the cashier to
honor all the checks that came down.
Fortunately for the hotel. the weather
was so bad that after three days Mr..
Ryan, in disgust, got up and went over
TO Paris. If he goes to writing checks
there the anxiety will be much more
there than in England, because the
French are very suspicious OF .meri

cans trying to pass bogus checks. IL
is believed, however, that Mr.. Ryan
will be able to get through and if he
should go to buying pictures he might
become as much a terror over there as
j. Pierpont Morgan. Now when the
holders of art treasurs hear that Mr..
they begin to lock up their treasures.
They are afraid he will buy them al
and leave Europe bereft.
1t must be a pleasant reflection to a
man TO know that his check will be
cashed, no matter what it is drawn for,
and yet Mr.. Ryan can only eat three
meals day and only sleep about eight
or nine hours at night. There are men
that have digestion to make him en-
vious and Chere are men whose checks
are not worth a cent who get very
much more comfort out of a long
nights sleep than he possibly can.
Years ago Jay Gould went to Hol-
land He went to see the directors Of
A certain railroad in America. They
met him by appointment. He asked
them if they cared to sell their road
in America. They said yes, they would
sell it for $14,000,000. Mr.. Gould
pulled a check book from his
pocket, filled a check for that amount
and signed it, and passing it over. said
Il am a little busy. Will YOU fix The
transfers and send them to New
York;" and went out of the room.
Those Dutchmen sat paralyZed. They
could not realize for the time being
that the railroad was sold and they had
the money. They at once telegraphed
the Bank Sof England asking if the
check of Mr.. Jay Gould for $14,OOO,OO0
would be honored. The answer was
flashed back within a half hour that
it would and a very much larger
amount if needed, provided they could
get the check. The feelings of the old
Dutchmen were hurt. They thought
at least a week ought to have been
in preliminaries and final ad-
justments, and the thought that Wor-
ried them most was that if they had
said $16,O00,000 they would have gotten
it just as quickly as they did $4,000
900. and at that they had a right 10

THAT PRIMARY LAW.

The decision of Superior Judge Net
erer, sitting at Bellinglam, that 81
much of the primary election law as
requires the payment of fees by can
didates for office, is invalid, comes
like a thunderbOlt Ou1 of a clear sky,
and will undoubtedly have a disturb
ing effect until it is either affirmed or
overruled by the supreme court of the
state.
Just when the case can get to the
supreme court and when that tribunal
will condescend to give decision on
ic, nobody seems to know. 1t is doubt
full however, if the matter can be de-
cided until after the primaries.
In the meantime most of the county
auditors, with whom the decision of
superior court in another county does
not have the weight of a statute, VIII
continue to collect the customary fees
for all candidates for office. In What
com county, however. where Judge
Neterer's decision is binding with the
county auditor, candidates can now HE
without cost to themselves.
An interesting phase of the situation
seems to be that the candidates Who
have already filed in Whatcom county
and paid the regular fee for so doing,
have no method of getting their money
back and consequently they are max
ing a roar This, however, will not be
a comparison to the roar which VIII
go up from the defeated candidates at
the primaries if it is later decided py
the supreme court that the collection o.
fees was illegal. OF course, the man
who wins at the general election, is
liable to take a philosophical view OF
the matter and charge the fee to his
expense account. But not SO with the
man who loses.
This is the first feature OF our loose
" drawn primary election law that
has been attacked in the courts, ana
the ease with which it was set ASIDE
leads to the belief that other ponu-
clans may develop sufficient nerve 20
attempt to set aside some of the otner
ridiculous features of the law Such
a statute illustrates the monumental
gall of those who insist on cllngng

republican party alone is fit 60 rule

Dress for Business Women.

Anna Steese Richardson talks to
business girls in the August Woman's
Home Companion on the Importance of
good taste in dress.
Said a Frenchman to Mrs. Richard
son not long ago, as they sauntered
through a model department store:
Your working girls-they are won
derful. See, they are ladies! Such
we'll kept hands, such beautifully coifed
heads, such smart shoes! They must
spend much time to make themselves
ready for work Nowhere else in the
world will you see such girls earning
their living.
1.-The self supporting woman in
America has won an enviable reputa-
ton for good taste in Dress says the
writer. Not even in Paris. where ev-
cry woman is supposed to be chic
and to have an air do the self-sup-
porting girls bear the stamp of genti-
lily in clothes that you can note in
any large city or factory town in the
United States"

SALMON PACK
/. FOURTH LARGEST
PUGET SOUND CANNER1Ess RE.
PORT VOLUME OF BUSINESS
DOUBLE THAT OF LAST YEAR
RUN ABOVE CAPACITY

SEATTLE, Wash. Jan? 1.-THE
first official estimate of the, 1907
salmon pack of Puget Sound was
made yesterday by the Kelley-C Clarke
company. The total pack for 1907
Is the fourth highest in 1OA years:
is more than double that of last
year, and is three times that of
1904. The big increase was made
almost entirely in pinks, or hump
backs, which not only Offset a big
failure in packs of sockeyes and
chums, but also brought the total
to high figure. Salmon packers
generally agree that the total would
have been even greater had any
such runs of humpbacks as material
Ted been anticipated. The run was
so sudden and so heavy that the
capacity of the canneries was over@
taxed, cans became exhausted before
the run was over, salt and other
supplies also ran short and thou
sands of fish were thrown back into
the water.
Following is the number of cases
and the kind packed in 1907:
Sockeyes, 96,974; Cohoes, III
Gil; Puget Sound pinks, 448,73n;
chums. 51,S40; total, 7O9,155.

RAILROAD BUILDING

An exchange gathers Information
from railroad report to the effect
that, despite the financial stringen.
cy beginning late in October, result.
ing in the cessation of operations
on many railroad jobs almost az
many. miles of road were built in
1907 as were constructed In 1906.
And last year, 1t should be remem4
hered. was the greatest for railroad
building since 1888.
1t Is quite well known that the
stop put to the railroad undertake
ings when the money trouble struck
the country was only temporary. On
many OF the jobs work has already
been resumed. More will show ac-
tivity next month, and practically
all will be finished according to
plans. The year 1908 will there
fore be great year in this line of
work, q fact which means the en-
ployment of thousands of laborers
and skilled workmen, the invest.
ment of vast amounts OF capital and
general profit for the financial and
industrial ranks OF the country.
That the railroads OF the United
States are unequal to the demands
made by such prosperity as we were
experiencing few months ago was
well known to all. Leading railroad
men, like James ]. Hill, laid empha-
sis upon this fact, and said that
railroads could not be built fast
enough to keep pace with the coun-
try's growth. The outlook for a re-
sumption OF business in this line is
therefore most favorable. Roads
which need new lines and extern
sions will provide them as soon as
possible, and Idaho will share with
other states in this kind of pros
perity.
