CURRENT THINKING
AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE.
(st. Louls Pont- pIapatch.l !

(sL Louis Post Dispatch.)
One Of the most prominent manu-.
facturers In the middle west recent
ly expressed the opinion that the only
obstacle to American prosperity was
the senseless pessimism Of Wall
street.
How senseless this pessimism is
may be inferred from a statement
credited almost entirely upon what
Is done in Washington.
Il would authorize an expenditure
Of 310.000.000 tomorrow If the situa-
ton in Washington were clear.
But the uncertainty Of which !
speak means that we must withhold
this 3I0,000.O0O expenditure for an
indefinite period"
At the very time that Mr. Thomas
was pouring forth this tale Of woe
the Lehigh Valley Railroad was ad-
vertising a quarterly dividend Of
IL per cent on it's common stock and
Q 1-2 per cent on Its preferred stock.
A railroad that is paying 10 per cent

GOOD LIGHTING.

M HE subject Of proper
" lighting Of business and
industrial houses and OF
public meeting places is one Of
decided interest and import
ance. In Pendleton there has
been a decided improvement in
recent years in the method Of
lighting churches and other
public places and the change
has been heartily approved by
the public.
Good lighting really means
economy rather than expense.
Bad lighting in factories,
stores and workshops is an ex-
travagance that employers of
labor cannot afford if they ex-
pect the best results from their
working people in both the
quality and quantity of their
products.
Poor lighting facilities also
mean injury to the eyes Of those
who are compelled to work
under such conditions. And
this also means loss of effici-
ency in the wOrkmen and has
tened disability as well as les
sened productive capacity.
1t follows then that good
lighting is good economy for
both employers and employees.
1t is strange, too, that in many
Of the recently built industrial
shops, where much attention
has been paid to having them
clean and sanitary, the lighting
has been apparently almost
neglected and this really i'm
portant factor in the health,
comfort and producing power
Of the workmen does not COM
pare with the other equipments
that at great expense have
been provided because regard
ed as essential to the best type
Of work place.
In many cases, too, it has
been found that it was not due
to the Indifference Of the en-
ployers that these serious mis-
takes have been made in fac
tory construction; but that they
could only be charged to a lack
Of experience or intelligence,
or to failure to have had ex-
pert advice on a matter Of such
And in not a few
instances vastly improved
facilities might have

ton that is hostile to business. There
has been no other time In 10 years
in which there was 30 little crusading
against business or in which business
has SO little to fear from politics
There has been no time in 10 years
In which legitimate business could
face the future with 80 little uncer-
tainty. Yet Wall street continues TO
talk calamity. think calamity and
dream calamity. When It might be
making New York the financial CEN
ter OF the world, II spends It's time
in conspirlng against an administra-
tion that cannot be bought or bull
led.
The feeling 10 growing that Wall
street wants no prosperity unless II
can hog II all. and that the typical
Wall street bankers idea OF prosper
ity is 8 per cent for loans, with 5
per cent commission and 81 per cent
OF the common stock as a bonus.
Wall streets days Of exploitation
and gambling prosperity are done
for There will be no return to the
period when the New York bankers
could take the cream and leave the
rest Of the country drinking skim
milk The dream Of revival OF
Hannaism will never materialize.
We have no doubt that the reae-
tionary republican leaders are ready
TO sell their party out to walla street
again. They are all giving full voice
to Wall streets calamity cry and
their general attitude toward govern
ment is anything to- beat Wilson. But
that sort Of thing can be easily over
done. and II the country Is willing to
throw away all the fruits Of 10 years
of agitation to curb predatory pluto
cracy, the country's standard Of in
telligence Is much lower than We
have ever had reason to believe.

RAILROAD STEAMERS
BARRED.

1NNDER the terms Of the
U Panama canal act it is IL
legal for a railroad com.
pany to operate steamship lines
In opposition to its own rail
lines. Hence the Investigation
the government is making 10
see if the steamers Great Nor
thern and Northern Pacific had
= right to pass through the Pa
nama canal. Inasmuch as those
ships are not to be operated
8rough the canal the question
- to their status is Of technical
rather than practical import
Ance.
But to the people Of the
northwest it is Of decided i'm
portance to know that a rail-
road company cannot run
steamer lines in opposition to
its rail lines. If the railroads
were allowed to do so they
could place their own steamers
on the upper Columbia and by
temporary rate cutting elimin-
ate Independent boat lines.
They did that very thing in
days gone by. They can do so
no longer.
There Is a still further safe
guard against railroad steam
ers on the Columbia. Under
the port law as amended by the
recent legislature at the in
stance Of Astoria people any
port district along the river,
may operate steamers on the
river. This the port of AS
toria is intending to do. Port
districts may be formed at
Umatilla, Cold Springs, Wallu-
Ia, Pasco or elsewhere and do
the same thing. In other words
the way is clear for what might
be termed municipality owned
steamers on the Columbia and
the situation is such as TO guar
antee real competition.
This phase Of river trans
portation makes the move for
good highways to the Column
bia the more meritorious.
