Thome Main 9400 Speaking of Northwest Harbors NCE upon a time some imaginative web-footer the natives into the belief that Portland had That the natives should tall for it was no wheedled the rest of harbor. surprise, but the wonder is that Jim Hill, empire builder, astute railroader, geographer, economist, *prognosticator, etc., should have succumbed to the fairy tale Jim put his new big liner, the Northern Pacific, on the run between Portland and San Francisco, It’s true that Jim’s boat was a bigger and faster one than those usual- ly washed by Portland waves, but the Columbia river bar plays no favor- ites. It took several tugs to tow the N. P. to safety yesterday when she lost her rudder in trying to pole-vault over that troublesome bar, and 600 pas- sengers, scheduled to leave on Jim's boat today, are looking for other ac- commodations. We have a sneaking idea that if Jim doesn't know it, Hazen J. Titus or any of the other Great-Big-Baked-Potato diggers can tell Jim where there’s a harbor that IS a harbor. Where is that? You've guessed it. There are no bars to hurdle when the ships leave + * * * * . * * Back-Capping the Law HE way to discredit a bad law is to enforce it. And the way to discredit a good law is to enforce it in an unreason- able and oppressive way. The railroads hate and wish to discredit any law which regulates them They hate the Cummins amendment, under which they are making the traveling public make out certificates of the values in baggage check Seattle. ed. It is admitted that the congress, in passing the law, never intended Such a nuisance as the railroads are making of the law to traveler Is this nuisance in the law? Or have the railways made of the law a Nuisance in order that regulation itself may become offensive to the people? This is a phase of the matter which we may all well take into con- sideration. There are some indications that we are suffering all these vexations because the railways are wreaking their spite on the people by an unreas- onable and illegal construction of the law. For instance, baggagemen have been instructed that they must not carry a corpse in the baggage car under the old and established checking system, unless a value is placed on it by the person in charge of it! This is not reason. It is spite. It is making the people sweat because the people have presumed to think that they ought to have something to say about their transportation system. Let the railroads beware. The people will finally understand the scheme—and they will resolve that a people’s modes of travel and ship- ment ought not to be left in the hands of men so petty, so spiteful and so hen-headed. ce ee oe os oe -0 A Governor’s Chance Jy HE Georgia prison commission has passed the buck to the governor in the Frank case and in its report has succeeded in conveying the impression that in the minds of two of the board, at least, to commute his punishment would be to thwart a proper sentence. In the face of the wording of the report, and the extreme public sentiment still alive in Georgia, the executive who is hardy enough to extend clemency — will probably sign his own political death warrant. The report of the board, from this distance, looks like a cowardly attempt on the part of the majority members to square themselves with the maddened voters at the expense of the state’s executive. Governor Slaton is afforded an excellent opportunity of getting from under by granting a temporary stay, thus passing it on to his suc- cessor. On the other hand, he is given a chance to do a worthy and noble act such as is se'!om the lot of man—an act that will cause his name to live in the memory of the better people of Georgia and the an- nals of justice, long after these judges have been forgotten. * * * * * * “ * Seattle Is Dawgone Lucky EATTLE’S Rotary club at its regular meeting, Monday, took an imaginary trip. It was lucky for Seattle it was the Rotary club. Suppose it had been Congressman Will Humphrey of Seattle, what then? History might have repeated itself. History tells us that when the Hon- orable Humphrey, sitting in his chair in the house of representatives and never budging an inch, took an imaginary trip from Washington, D.
