quential Portugars area is about
equal to that OF Indiana. 1t contains
only a few more people than live in

The outside world is as little concern
ed about civil war among the Por-
tuguese as the Portuguese are con-
cerned with the great present affaie
Of Europe.
And Vet SO years ago (the span Of
a few generations) Portugal was the
greatest maritime power preceding
Great Britain in that eminence The
Portuguese first explored the two
coasts Of Africa. The Cape OF Good
Hope was doubled by Bartholomeo

THE SCHOOL ELECTION

~ HE school election yester-
" day was marked by more
activity and interest than
any similar election in years if
not in the history of the city.
1t is wholesome to have such
interest aroused because it
shows people are awake to the
welfare Of the school system.
The election of Mr.. Strain by
such an overwhelming vote was
more than a tribute to his per-
sonal popularity. 1t was an ex-
preston Of confidence in his in
dependence and fairness; also
a reflection to an extent Of
public sentiment regarding To-
cal school problems.
Many voted for Mr.. Strain
because they knew he had not
been selected to run by the
school board. There was con-
siderable of a desire for some
thing in the way of a new deal
in connection with school af-
fairs.
The most active workers for
Mr.. Strain were the ladies of
the w. c. T. U. who have con-
Quoted the protest against the
forced resignation of Mr.. Lam
ders. Their work was a dis
tinct manifestation of resent
ment over the treatment of the
retiring superintendent and in
sofar as their influence count

proval Of the school boards ac-

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY
WERE ABOUT

II 7 may be only a colncl-
dence but it is a fact the
decision of the supreme
court reversing Judge Wolver-
ton in the Oregon & California
land grant case is in line with
what was asked for in the mid
night resolution slipped
through the last Legislature un-
der such conditions only a
handful of members knew any,
thing about it.
The decision means the rail-
road company is not to be PEN
allied for having deliberately
violated the terms of its land
grant. The railroad will re-
tain the land and dispose of it
as congress directs but at the
minimum will be able to get
$3.50 per acre for the land.
This makes the decision mean
S6.000,000 to the railroad
company and many times that
sum if the railroad can inveigle
congress into passing legisla-
ton desired by the company.
1t is a valuable decision for
the railroad and it should be
welcome to all those who be-
lieve it better for immense
tracts of land to be held by pri-
vate corporations for profit
making purposes than by the
government and administered
in behalf of settlers and the
public.
The chief argument ad-
vanced in behalf Of the claim
the railroad should have the
land is that the company pays
taxes on it. But the argument
is weak because if the govern
ment had title it could dispose
of the land to private settlers
and they would then pay taxes.
Besides if the tax argument is
worth anything then all gov
ernment land and all state
owned land should be turned
over to corporations so they
could pay taxes on it.
The reversal of Judge VOL
verton's decision takes on unu-
sual interest in view of the leg
islature's midnight resolution
How much did that action in.
fluence the court? As a result
of the resolution the attorney
general of Oregon went before
the supreme court with re.
quest for action substantially
in accord with the decision
given yesterday. Did the court
consider the legislature spoke
for the people of Oregon anC
that this state really desired &
ruling in behalf of the rail
road? If so, then the gang thai
guided the resolution through
to passage knew exactly wha'
they were doing and they are
certainly to be complimentec

TRUTH IN ADVERTISING
thousand advertising
u men will attend the elev-
anth animal convention

u men will attend the elev-
enth annual convention
Of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World in Chicago
this week. 1t will be a notable
gathering, for the sessions will
be given over almost exclusive
" to promoting the truth that
honesty is the best policy. Pres
ident Woodhead declared the
campaign for eliminating the
faker, the crook and the SysteT
from the advertising field will
be continued, saying;
This sentiment is country
wide among advertising men
and the fight has been started
and will be continued against
takers. Business men are gen.
orally beginning to see that ad-
vertising is more than a preach
ment. 1t stands for a great
business principle, and the only
way to make it effective is to
make it believable, and that
means sticking to the truth"
Chicago claims the credit
for originating the idea that
honesty in advertising is the
best policy. But it has grown
so that it is now nationwide.
Reputable business men know
that their statements in adver-
tisements must be the truth
and nothing else. Any devia-
tion from that rule means ul-
innate loss to the advertiser,
for his integrity is gagged gen.
orally by what he advertises
for sale and what ne actually
has in stock.
Truth in advertising has
demonstrated its efficiency.
Because they can depend upon
what they read, buyers look to
the advertising pages for infor-
nation. They do much Of their
shopping in easy chairs at
home. Truth in advertising
has made the newspapers ad-
vertisements as interesting to
many of its readers as the tele-
graphic and local news

The steamers on the upper
Columbia are enjoying a good
business both with reference to
freight and passenger triffic.
They will enjoy a still heavier
freight business when a further
reduction in rates can be made.
Their ability to reduce rates de-
pends largely on tonnage. The
boat company can promote
business by reducing rates and
the shippers can aid rate re-
ductions by patronizing the
river line. 1t is q field in
which team work is needed.
The communication of the SEN
tence on Leo Frank is justified
because it precludes any dan

as to Franks guilt he is more
properly fitted for the prison

JUDGE NOT
(AdeIalde A. Proctor.l

Judge not: the workings of his brain
And of his heart thou can'st not see;
What looks to thy dim eyes a stain,
In Gods pure light may only be
A escar, brought from some well-won
field,
Where thou would'st only faint and
yield.
The look, the air, that frets thy sight,
May be a token that below,
The soul has closed in deadly fight
With some Internal fiery foe,
Whose glance would scorch thy smil-
ing grace,
And cast thee shuddering on thy
face!
The fall thou darest to despise
May be the angels slackened hand
Has suffered it, that he may rise
And take firmer, surer stand;
Or trusting less to earthly things,
May henceforth learn to use his
wings.
And judge none lost; but wait and see,
With hopeful pity, not disdain;
The depth of the abyss may be
The measure of the height of pain,
And love and glory, that may raise
This soul to God in after days!
