THE ROOSEVELT CHARACTER.

The true Roosevelt character Is ex
emplified in the prompt and deter
mined manner with which he is han.
ding the Morocco bandits. Not a
wait not hitch in the program, but
a powerful demand upon the sultan of
that semi-barbarous country for an
enforcement of the laws. The leader
OF the bandits has received notice
that he will be pursued and hanged
If he murders the captives, and his
proposition for an enormous bounty
has been turned down. An imposing
fleet of warships has entered Moroc-
co waters and they stand ready to en-
force every claim of our government
Truly Roosevelt is an ideal Ameri-
can president and has astonished the
world with his powerful administra-
tion of international affairs.
The sedate statesmen of Europe
and even few of our own wheedlers
viewed with alarm the ascendency of
an unframed mind in diplomatic cir
cles, and many grave fears were en-
tertained for the worlds peace. They
reasoned that it was impossible for a
great director to come from the COM
mon people.
Roosevelt has occupied the presi-
dental chair nearly three years and
yet every act has stamped him as a
thorough diplomat and an able coun-
sellor, The world powers recoglze
in him one of the fearless rulers of
today, and they respect him.

CHAMPIONS OF DISORDER.

The imported reverend gentlemen
who are storming the churches for the
local option law are in reality cham
pions of disorder.
They are not permanent residents
of any community, and know nothing
about the difficulties the people would
encounter under their proposed freak
law.
These gentlemen are not taxpayers
or producers. Many of them have not
even a wife or children, are here to1
day and gone tomorrow.
They do not know that Oregon has
better conditions and better law, so
far as the saloons are concerned, than
most Eastern states.
They do not know that the city of
Salem, for its size and location, has
less saloons and less vice and crime
and drunkenness than Eastern cities.
They do not know that the new
charter of Greater Salem absolutely
prohibits all saloons in the residence
districts or the new wards.
They advocate scheme, which, If
carried in the county, would take
away all power to regulate saloons or
liquor traffic in this city.
They would sweep away all control
and revenue, and leave the cities with
unlicensed groggeries, run by the most
disreputable class of people.
They may be ignorant of the actual
conditions, and honestly advocate what
they believe, but they would create
disorder and promote lawlessness
and drunkenness.

THE DEMOCRATS CLAIM 1T ALL

OF course Judge Scott and the Ma
rlon county court has not had thing
to do with getting Marion county out
of debt.
So say the Democratic politicians,
But the county is out of debt.
OF course the Republican county
court has had nothing to do with re-
ducing the county tax levies from
eleven mills to four and three-tenths
mills. The county tax just naturally
reduced itself.
So say the Democratic politicians.
But the county tax is reduced just the
same
The pauper expenses Of the county
have been reduced from $1,000 year
to $500 a year, but the Republican
county court deserves no credit for
that.
So say the Democratic politicians.
But the pauper expense is reduced just
the same.

DEMOCRATIC ATTACKS ON SCOTT

The Democratic campaign man.
ayers are attacking Judge Scott be-
cause he has not furnished the steam
road roller for the road that Governor
Chamberlain is building to the Re-
form School
The editor of this paper worked
hard to get that road from the city to
the Reform School undertaken by
the Governor with convict labor
So far as he knows Judge Scott
and Governor Chamberlain have
worked in perfect harmony to build
that read and have had no disagree
ment whatever.
Several conferences were had be-
tween the head of the state govern
ment and the head of the county gov
ernment and they have a perfect un.
derstanding as to what shall be done
there.
Marion county Democratic cam
paign managers who never built a
rod Of road in their lives and who
work nothing but politics would have
the people believe that everything
that Scott does is wrong.
They would blame him with all that
is not done. II he did more they
would attack him. If he did less they
would attack him. That is politics
at the hands of politicians
Let us give both Chamberlain and
Scott credit for what they are doing
and trying to do for Good Roads
That is the only way to get results.
Attacks for political effect always re-
act In a candidate's favor.

ing to be together, But of course our
main motive is a moral one.
"We wish to consult each other in
the charitable and philanthropic en-
deavors of the community and we
have in view especially the cause of
temperance. In all this we feel the
need of cooperation, companionship
and of setting the example of sincere
and open-hearted friendship before
the people
'As to our difference of opinion in
religious matters. we frankly recog-
nize the difference and shun all con-
troversy."
The Rev Father Hugh M. Smith,
of the Catholic parish, says among
other things:
"Our aim is to eliminate religious
prejudice from among the people of
the town, thus removing a formidable
barrier to Christian union: to pre-
serve in their hearts a warm charity
and forbearance toward every other
denomination of Christians, at the
same time preserving themselves
from the blight of religious indiffer-
ence."

ticket made up and a set of city and
county officers put in who will carry
out the Local Option policy.
If they succeed in electing such Of
ficials, the churches will be more or
less responsible for the city and coun-
ty government in all lines of public
administration.
Now imagine that all they undertake
is good and that they will succeed,
is it desirable from their own stand
point that this be taken up? Do the
churches on their own account want
to go into politics?
Doesnot the God and morality argu-
ment take the churches, or at least
some of them, into political turmoil,
and will it not hamper their useful
ness and weaken their influence over
men in spiritual affairs?

will it all end but in church and
state?
If you will not come to church
and listen to our persuasion for max
ing you good citizens we will make
you moral by law and you shall be
good citizens anyhow We will unite
church and state, they say.
The morality argument is plausible
but specious, and leads to confusion
Of functions, that in all countries
have been best kept entirely separate
and that have never been united but
to the weakening of both religion and

ABOUT sPRINKLINe STREETS.

The Journal the. other day had an
article about the way State street
was kept sprlnkled under the Gilbert
administration at the State Prison.
Supt. Gilbert got credit and justly
for sprinkling the street from the
prison down to 18th street
This was nice think to say about
the Gilbert administration, but Uncle
Geo. Downing deserves a lot of credit
in this matter.
He was the first Prison Supt in our
recollection to sprinkle the east end
of State street.
He bought the sprinkler of w. d
Mohney, rigged up an old wagon and
put on the sprinkling service at mis-
own expense.
When Supt. Gilbert went in he
made the incoming administration a
present of the sprinkling outfit, and
the good work went on.
The state furnished the water at
the prison and the Water company
furnished it at the city end, and for
the last few years made a nominal
charge.
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Potter and others
contributed to pay for the water and
for many years the dust was kept OFF
that street
Supt Lee for some reason did not
sprinkle the street. The present Supt
of the Prison offers to sprinkle it
with a little help.
The Journal believes the state in
stitutions should sprinkle the street.
The present streets about their prop.
erty, as the dust is injurious to the
property.
The streets about the State house,
the court house, the city hall and
Wilson avenue should be sprlnkled at
public expense.

OREGON WEATHER Aeour RIeH1

The people of oregon hardly ap-
preciate the beautiful weather this
grand climate affords them and often
rail at what they term the inclemency
of the elements. However, when we
hear the reports of the severe storms
in the East and South and the loss of
life and property by the destructive
tornadoes and waterspouts, we all
agree that the Willamette valley has
the best climatic conditions on the
continent, in fact cannot be excelled
in the world The soft, mild winters,
coupled with the delightful summers,
an entire absence of thunder and
lightning and other disagreeable and
dangerous elements, make life a
pleasure, as compared to the blizzard
and storm-swept Eastern states. Back
there it is one continual round of wind
storms, hail storms, electric storms,
water spouts, snow storms and a
dozen other varieties. Oregon is
surely the promised land.

THE MORALITY ARGUMENT

There is nothing more catchy than
to make an argument in a political
campaign backed by an appeal that
you are doing it for God and morality.
That is the greatest plea that is
made for the Local Option law, so
called, which no Prohibitionist will
deny is a Prohibition act.
But are God and morality always
helped by these campaigns? God does
not need the help of human laws,
but morality requires legislation.
Admitting for the sake of argu-
ment and Local Option is good and
desirable, will it be helped by cam
paign on the God and morality plan?
The pulpits may have enough per
suasiye power TO secure the adoption
OF jhis prohibitory law. But is that
desirable for the churches?
II adopted next campaign will
have TO be made TO carry Marion coun.
ty for Local Option and that win all
have to be done in the churches.
II II carries, 1t win be clearly a
church victory and no political party
in power will feel responsible for
adopting that plan of dealing with
the evils of the liquor habit.
Then the work from the pulpits will
have TO be carried forward and
