GERMANY AND AMERICA

/
vount Won Bernstorff has incurred
the displeasure of those OF his country
men who found fault with Baron Won
Sternburg when the latter was serving
as German ambassador at the capital
1t will be remembered that Baron Won,
Sternburg was denounced for making
himself too agreeable to the American
people His critics in Germany accused
| him of trucking to the Yankees When
he spoke in public it was in terms of
| too high praise of the American spirit
and progress. And he spoke too often.
| The Yankees, finding him <loquacious
and admiring, called him out frequent
| ly. And was it not an affront to Ger
select the ambassador as a sort of rid
ing companion, and address him famil-
iarly in private compensation as Speck?
This tone is adopted now toward
Count Won Bernstorff. His, recent ad-
dress at Philadelphia affords the text.
Why should he on that occasion have
pledged Germany so emphatically to
Peace? Why have subscribed, in Ger
many's name, so unreservedly to the
Monroe doctrine? Did he not know
what Prince Bismarck thought and
once said about that doctrine? AS the
the doctrine American ,impertinence,'
why should the present German am
bassador to America confess to it's
force and appropriateness? And why
have joined the ranks of the talking
diplomats?
Count Won Bernstorff, we may be
sure, pursued the right course in &C
cepting the Philadelphia invitation, and
would not have voiced such sentiments
as he did without authority He is in
America to contribute to the good feel
ing existing between this government
and his own; and that may best be
done by examining our purposes in a
spirit of fairness, and subscribing to
representatives of foreign governments
who can talk are often asked and ex-
pected to talk, and an appreciative at
mosphere develops excellent talking
powers in some of them.
AS for Prince Bismarcks opinion of
the Monroe doctrine, while that doubt
less. was most sincerely held and thor
oughly characteristic of the man and
statesman, it did not when expressed
and does not now, represent any Ger
man purpose of challenge. And since
that opinion was expressed, and the
great chancellor's retirement from Of |
flee and death, the Monroe doctrine
has gained both in force in America
and in respect abroad. 1t is better
understood than ever before, and better |
approved by those pledged to it's sup
port with all the means at command
AS Baron Won Sternburg's critics in
Germany did not prevail against him
did not weaken him with his home gov
eminent, or impair his usefulness here
as little may we expect the same
men to injure Count Won Bernstorf,
who has started well as Baron Won
Sternburgs successor, and, taking his
Philadelphia address as a tast eof his
quality, should score success in his
present assignment.

MUNIVIPAL CONTROL OF PUBLIC
SERVICE CORPORATIONS

1t is proposed to establish a public
service commission in Portland which
shallhave authority to regulate street
car traffic, gas and electric lights and
other public utilities. This might look
alarming as a socialistic movement,
and one calculated to interfere with
vested rights and perhaps to confiscate
property, if it were not proposed and
supported by many conservative citi-
zens of good reputation and possessing
much valuable property. Prominent
business men have Endorsed it, and
say it is necessary that all these pub
lie service corporations should submit
to regulation and control, through a
commission acting for the public.
|, The proposition is a good one, and
in line with the progressive ideas of
the time. We have a state commits
sion to control to some extent the raila
state commerce commission to act
similarly throughout the country, and
why should not cities have commits
sions to control these public service
corporations within municipal limits :?
If the corporation supplying the
people with transportation, lights, gas
and telephone service do so satisfac-
torily and reasonably, very well; but
if not, then the people should have
medium of authority by which to
| change conditions for their benefit In
word, all these public, service con-
Germs must submit to public control
This is what the movement of these
gentlemen means. and they are not
/ anarchists. or socialists, or cranks, or
demagogues. or even democrats, either

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.--The mys-
terry of the $4,000 home that Lyman
J. Gage, eX-secretary of the treasury,
is building at Point Iona, Cal, the

Mill creek has been rising steadily
today, reports from the headworks OF
the water system being to the effect
that the water going over the dam
has increased in volume about seven
inches since o'clock this morning.
Water Superintendent r. F. Mclean

works this morning to assist in keep
ing the screens free from leaves and
other foreign substance that had
been washed into the stream, and an
effort is being made to prevent the

will result through a sudden rise in
the creek, as much of the rain has
soaked into the ground.

PHASES OF CONSERVATION
Oregon Journal.)

Conservation of natural resources is
a great idea and subject. 1t has a
multitude of features and phases, some
Of which, on a general view may seem
contradictory. Not all sections of the
country, or all localities in one large
section, may need just the same kind
of conservation; either in degree or
kind. In one region, for example, the
timber should wholly or in part be pre-
served; in another, it is best that it be
felled and marketed, and the land it
occupies converted into farms to add
to the country's products. Care should
be taken that water powers are not
absorbed by corporations, or a combine
of them, but water power conserva-
ton should not go to the extreme of
preventing the construction of needed
railroads.
But there are many other kinds of
conservation for the people to learn
about and become interested in,
principal one being better care and
tillage of soil, including the best use of
the fertilizers that agriculture in it's
process yields. The degree of soil ex-
haustion has no doubt been exagger-
ated by some conservationists, and by
Mr. j. J. Hill, yet the soil has been ex-
hausted far more than was necessary,
aid a principal work of conservation is
scientifically to repair that waste and
make the soil increasingly rather than
Increasingly productive, which in a
great many cases can be done. Of
fetal figures mediate that this process
has already been begun, and that yields
on many lands long cultivated have in
creased in recent years, but only a
good beginning of this extremely i'm
portant Work has been made. 1t is
largely a matter of general, gradual
and detailed education, which takes q
good deal of time. More farmers are
constantly learning how to farm, and
the best of them can and will learn
how better from year to year.
Conservation along this line will ere
long probably utilize the garbage OF
cities as we'll as the offal of the farms
themselves for the purpose of enrich
ing the producing lands nearby, or pos.
sibly even at considerable distances
