The people of Western Oregon
should awaken to the imminent
danger of losing the last chance to
secure free locks and canal at Ore
gon City.
The battle for the right to navi-
gate boats up and down the william
cite river without paying tolls to
corporation at the falls has been on
for three years.
The legislature has twice passed
the bill appropriating 100000 for
the states share of this enterprise,
and that money is available until
1915.
The appropriation by congress of
100000 for the purchase of the
locks and canal is in the river and
harbors bill, and is also Immediately
available.
Yet the enterprise drags along
year after year and there is even
organized opposition and concerted
action to make free locks and canal
impossible.
The present conditions, as nearly
as can be learned, WITHOUT an ex-
haustive investigation, are as fol-
lows:
Major McIndoe, of the U. S. engin-
GERS, had one E. Burton Thompson,
U. S. engineer, make four surveys
and report ON the proposed improve
ment.
Two surveys were made on the
west side and two on the east side.
for locks and canals 38 to As feet
wide, and one survey uses the old
locks and canal
No sooner were the appropriations
In congress and by the state secured
than certain interests at Oregon City
that had fought the state taking any
action, began to agitate for a canal
on the east side of the river
Through their influence a report
favorable to canal and locks on
the east side has been securNl-a
report which, If acted upon, will in
yolve the whole proposition in litiga-
ttOn and enormous expense.
The right of way for the proposed
new locks and canal on the east side
is estimated to cost from one to two
million dollars, and large industries
will be destroyed.
The first plan starts at Fourth
streets, runs 1900 feet at an east
erly angle to the crest of the falls,
then a wall II feet high of con-
crete, 1900 feet to the southeast
and 400 feet to the southwest.
The first plan cuts directly
through the Oregon City woolen
mills, the Crown Pulp and Paper
mill, the Hawley Pulp and Paper
mill-in all destroying physical prop
critics amounting to large sums.
There was naturally a big roar
by the property owners injured, and
the engineer changed his plans twice
and made a third and final location,
which misses the buildings in the
main.
The east plan, as it now is pro-
posed to build after, will food the
upper streets along the river and
Hood industrial properties, and dam
age the water power as follows:
The Hawley water power. $3.50, 600

Progressive Arizona

IT is n OF surprising that Arizona should have declared Tor pro
gressive policies at its first state election Yesterday, by electng a
Democratic governor and legislature, and expressing an advisory vote
for the preference OF Democratic United States senators That "a
to be expected because The Democrats had to their credit the framing
OF a progressive consutuion-too progressive i'll m particulars TO
please the hgher-ups a Washington, as may be recaned-and Their
popular election OF the uan who presided at that constitutional CON
venton, George w. p. Hunt, for governor was a foregone conclusion.
OF course Arizona has had to swallow the nauseous pill Of e
pudrting its constitutional provision for the judiciary recall, else 1t
could not be admitted 20 statehood. But equally natural is 1T for the
Arizonans to make H. their minds as soon IS possible to amend their
constitution and put the objectionable provision back.
Even among the Republicans there "a the san spirit of resent
ment at executive interference, and the issue of the campaign a mere
ly as to the personality OF the officers to be entrusted with the affairs
OF state. If there are any reactonarcs in Arizona there are not
enough of them to make a party.

yEWAPk MORE THAN A FACTORY TOWN

VA Y HILE Newark is one of the most important manufacturing
WV cities of the United States and is rapidly attaining rank
with the foremost manufacturing cities, We should not
rest upon that distinction alone. Our city has other claims to pre-
sent. Newark is a city of commerce with unrivaled facilities. 1t has
a splendid waterfront on river and bay, and with direct access to
the ocean. Connecting with the waterfront there are five trunk
railroads. The development of our waterfront in ways contem-
plated will make Newark one of the principal harbOrs and ocean
and railroad terminals of the continent. Then, again, Newark is
a city of homes. The residential area of Newark includes the beau
tiful suburbs that are rapidly growing. 1t is the centre of an i'm
mense retail trade within a radius of fifty miles, and the stores in
Newark vie with those of New York. The impression should not
be given out abroad that our city is merely a factory town. We
are proud of our vast array of manufacturing establishments and of
the $4,000 artisans who populate them, but that is only one element
of our prosperity and one of the distinguishing features of the city,
There are others not to be overlooked by the Board of Trade.

WEAK ELECTION AND NO INTEREST.

1TTa EN- days will elapse before the general election in New Jersey
on November Z and political interest in the State is flat as
a pancake" There was immense interest in the champion
ship baseball match and the two poison eases have had the big
g@t headlines in the daily papers, and the accounts are universally
read. Affairs in China and in Algeria largely occupy the public
mind. The prosecution of the steel trust is the sensation of the
hour. and next week interest will be centred in the great naval
display on the Hudson. Before November other things will come
up to command public attention, and there seems to be no chance at
all for the spellbinder to get the people interested in State politics.
There has been a small registration, a falling off of about 10000
in the State, and at least that many voters will not attend the polls
AS the full registration is never voted, fhe poll on November I may
be 20 per cent. less than the number registered. In former years.
voters were not so easily diverted from campaign politics by other
matters of interest. Why should they now be? And that, too, in
a year when The State has, according to some authorities, the best
election laws ever devised in the State or country?

delivered in person. You see, this was
the Confederate end of the Legislature,
and the real capital at Jefferson City
was in possession of Federal troops.
Neosho, on the other hand, was close
to the Arkansas line, so. the Governor
and legislators could make a quick get
way if' Union soldiers showed up.
Under the spell of Jackson's eloquence
this Neosho Legislature passed an
ordinance formally s~ubtracting Mis-
souri, from the United States of Amer
lea, but old Mrs. History, for some
reason, has always insisted that Mis-
souri, remained a Union State. Neosho
is still the capital of Newton county
and a quiet. sedate town, not nearly
so lively as Joplin, its overshadoWing
neighbor, which has zinc mines and
a real opery house.

NAV l use your "Rostrum' column

notice that the cars of the Public Serv-

THE PRESIDENTS MOTIVES.

@ PEAKING in Chicago last night President Taft said he would
rather cut off his hand than to do anything to disturb the
business of the country, especially to disturb it for a purpose
with any coloring of political advantage" In the long line of
american Presidents the name of not one can be recalled who
would do what President Taft disavows. And the American people
have too much respect for the presidential office to harbor such a
thought. But the President does not make this denial to the
American people, but only to an unfair and in some cases en-
venomed criticism. On the one hand, charges have been made
by Wall Street spokesman that the President was sacrificing bust
ness interests for political advantage, and on the other hand by a
rival candidate for the presidency that he was webbing and incon.
sistent in his trust policy, blew hot and cod and trimmed his sails
to every passing breeze. President Taft is fully capable of blunders
of policy, but so was President Grant. He has never laid himself
open to the charge of studied deceit.

Pure Food Suggestion.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
II New Jersey had a law that would
enable a person to ecure damages in
case of illness or death caused by
poison from food, canned or otherwise,
IT would be a great step towards in
surfing its purity by proper supervision
after it gets in the market. It's all
right to have Uncle Sans label on a
can, for instance, setting forth that the
manufacturers have complied with the
law. but some cans are kept so long
in stock that their contents become
poisonous.
If the wholesale or retail dealer could
be hailed into court, as they do in New
York, much danger from this source
would disappear as "snow upon the
deserts dusty face" B.. A.

A NEWARK EXPOSITION.

IT f the idea of an exposition in Newark next year is to be carried
out its orginators cannot begin too soon to arrange for it,
and the exposition must be of a character to do credit to our
city and be "A good prelude to the greater exposition planned to be
held in 1916 in celebration of the 250th year of Newark as a settle
ment and town. Manufacturers must shake off their civic inertia
and fully do their part, and active and intelligent work must be
done. A secondcass show in a frstclass town cannot rebound to
the glory of the town, and Newark's ability to make a greater show
in 1916 will be judged by the results achieved next year. There is
plenty of civic pride in our city and we believe it will respond
heartily if properly appealed to. But the getting up of an industrial
exposition worthy of Newark is the matter of much time, labor and
expense, and the present year wanes to its close. Preparations
should begin at once and with vigor.

SOME ASPECTS OF THAcK-
ERAY." BY : avis Melville CLittle,
Brown & Co, Boston,.
Who was Becky Sharp? This is one
of the burning questions in Lewis Mel
ville's volume, Some Aspects of
Thackeray."
1T Is commonly supposed" said the
author, that the inimitable Becky had.
an original, though her name is known
to few. Lady Richie saw her once.
She drove to Young Street to see
Thackeray, q most charming, dazzling
little lady, dressed in black, who greeted
the novelist with great affection and
brilliancy, and on her departure pre-
sented him with a bunch of violets.
Thackeray always parted with a laugh
all questions concerning this prototype.
However. a lady who knew him intl-
mately was not so reticent. She said
the character of Becky was an inven-
ton, but il had been suggested to him
by a governess, who lived in the neigh
borhood of Kensington square. and
was the companion of a very rich and
very selfish old m The governess,
strange to say followed in he footsteps
of Becky. Some years after the publ
cation of VANITY Fair" she ran away
with the nephew of the lady with whom
she was living, and for a while made a
sensation in society circles, quite in
Mrs. Rawdon Crawley's style and en-
tirely by Mrs. Rawdon CraWley's meth
DDS. This living handsomely on moth
ing a year resulted in the usual way,
n in the end the ex-governess fled the
country and was to be seen on the con-
tinent fitting from gambling place to
gambling place"
Mr.. Melville's volume is valuable in
that he tells for the first time things
about ~Thackeray hat ia never been
told before. The most interesting
features of the book are the chapter on
Thackeray as an artist, another chap
ter on his satires on the Newgate
school of fiction, in which satires
Thackeray taught a lesson which it
would be well for many modern
authors of this day to learn, and the
chapter on his originals.
For years Charles Dickens's admir-
ers have been informed repeatedly as
to the identity Of the real Mr.. Micaw-
Der, the real Mrs. Nickleby, the real
Harold Skimpole, but the casual read
err has known but little of the real
people whom Thaclkeray caricatured.
In this book, also, are set forth
Thackeray's morals n principles as a
writer. There were things he would
not do, bounds beyond which he would
not step, His purposes, too, are com

THE ACTING

TT I is becoming a question whether the Governor or the acting
Governor will be on duty in the executive chambers at Trenton
during the present gubernatorial term. Senator Alderman
served for one month last spring and at other intervals and he is
now on duty. As il is the intention of the Governor to take a vaca-
ton after his return from his present Western trip, the Union
county senator has another period of duty in near prospective. But
there is a vista of more intervals of absence for the senator to fill up
Santil the next Legislature meets. Then he will be relieved by the
election of another Senate president, and, as 1912 is presidential
election year, the prospect is that Senator Ackerman's successor
will be sadly overworked.

O A A FRIDAY.

cTTa HERE was fear of another Black Friday when the stock
market opened yesterday because of the action by the gov.
eminent in entering suit for dissolution of the steel trust,
but while the steel prices slumped the general market showed sur
prsing frmness against the assaults of the bears. Liquidation
has been going on so long and steadily that all speculative values
have been wiped out, but there are lower levels for stocks to fall to-
in a panic. But if the announcement had come to Wall Street when
stock prices, and especially steel prices, were at their normal the
scenes in the Stock Exchange yesterday would have rivaled those
of the famous Black Friday, a blackletter day in the history of
Wall Street.
