1T DIDN'T COME OFF
The Smile That Helped Hermann Win HIS
Congressional Race in Oregon.
IVA shinston Post.

WdSn1EStOIT OSt-
Representative Hermann OF. Oregon can
testify TO the value of photography in
canpaigning He went thru q. heated cam
paign a few months ago, which resulted
in his election for the u1lexpired term of
the late Representative Tongue. Mr.. Her.
naannrs democratic opponents harped con-
stantly about the presidents attitude to-
ward him. They said the president was
not friendly.
One day Mr.. Roosevelt came touring
thru Oregon. Mr.. Hermann was invited
to accompany him on his special train.-The
two were standing ON the rear platform,
departing from one of the towns EN- route.
when some one in the :throng cracked a
f Joke The president and Hermann grinned
broadly just at the opportune moment
when a camera was trained upon them.
Hermann purchased many thousand
copies of that photograph. There was no
disputing the evidence. it conveyed. His
opponents, who had insisted the president
land Hermann were not friendly, were
thereby silenced forever.

Afterthoughts on the President $
MESSAGE -: E:f->,

- President Roosevelt ,Waxed right
eously indignant in his message when
he came to the subject of bribery
His words ought to burn themselves
into the consciousness of some cal
LOUIS conscience citizens who think
the only reproach associated with
bribe-giving or bribe taking is to be
found out-and some do not allow
that event that is a reproach.
There can be no crime the pres
ident says, "mere serious than bri=
berry. Other offenses violate one law,
while corruption strikes at the foun-
dation of all law" ,.s->"
= Never were truer words spoken.
The corruptionist, whether he be a
needy Striker" or a lordly financial
magnate, is the deadly enemy of his
neighbors,l his community and his
country. There are such men in every
city in this country--rnen who move
among other men without special no.
tice; who belong to- the fashionable
clubs who move in the best society,
who = are sometimes conspicuous
church members and loud professors
of formal righteousness who are
we'll known by their thoughtful
neighbors to be among the greatest
sources Of evil in the community. 1t
is often remarked that it would al
most amount to a regeneration of
these cities if men of this stripe could
be exiled. 1t is difficult to convict
them, for they are slippery rogues,
and have friends where they should
be friendless. SO they go thru life
corrupting and communicating and
doing more evil in a day than lesser
villains do in life time.
The truth isaati1at the American
people do not consider bribe-taking
and bribe-giving "a grave crime

deposits in the national banks reached it's
maximum on June 9. 1903, when it at
tanned the prodigious total Of s3.2O1,OO0 :
600. During the next three months It fell
off nearly s45, 100000: This decline IN de-
posits was coincident with an increase of
loanable funds in the banks of more thar
$4s,0oo,ooO compared with last year.
II the decline in individual deposits were
indicated only by comparison between
June and September. it would be possi-..
BILE to explain them by the usual trade
movements, but the deposits are smaller
by about s50,ooo,0OO than they were a
year ago. 1t hardly seems possible that
