ROOSEVELT ONCE FREE TRADER


1t is, of course, absurd to think that
Roosevelt, the nominee of protection
list party, could publicly disown the
leading doctrine of the organization
that has put him up. He is not an old
man and he is net very young man.
He had, however, lived long enough
when he Joined the American Free
Trade League to know little of the
moral and economic issues involved in
the doctrine of protection.
In the three years he was a member
and participated in it's work, he must
have learned to believe more strongly
in the creed the League professed, or
less strongly. When in fact, he re-
signed, he gave no reason for his
course, other than that he was a Re-
publican before he was a free trader.
That sentiment and that course of con-
duct are applicable enough. He want
ed to get on; he found his liberal and
enlightened notions about protection
threatened to weight him down in the
Republican Party and his main purpose
dore Roosevelt, he sacrificed without
recanting his free trade opinions.
Could he stop there? Did he stop
there?
We do not hesitate to say that
man of honor cannot for the sake of
his own advancement declare to be the
truth what he knows to be an UNI
truth This may SAVIOR of common
place, but its assertion in politics Is
not so common that II may not be
worth while now and then to recall it.
A politician. a public man, has his hon
orable obligations resting on him as
on others they rest, to speak the
truth He is not called on to tell ev-
erything, but his positive speech should
be manly and truthful.
| How has Roosevelt acquitted himself
in this particular matter? There is
not one heresy in the protectionist
theory he shrinks from vouching for.
| Do you say he has seen more and
! learned more? We venture to doubt,
and theoretically, that he has in fact
honestly changed his opinions about
the tariff, and for reason. We do
not rely upon the plain temptation to
him to dissemble in view of the great
stake he Is playing for. We rely on
the way he states the case. A con-
WINGED free-trader who had abandoned
the cause without disavowing a belief
in the soundness of the principles I'M
derlying that cause, who later an
nounces he has perfected a somersault
in opinion, would be able to show how
he was constrained to turn his somer-
sault, There would be this fact, that,
this observation, that, borne in on him,
going to show him he had formerly
been wrong and to his perfect convic-
ton, was now right. Is 1t SO in the
swelling, Dragging, strutting, vain
glorious acceptance speech the Presi-
dent delivered at Oyster Bay on Wed
| nesday last? Not a bit of it. He has
taken the doctrine whole and states it
in as. dull and bald way as Pig-iron
Kelley himself could have DONE He
does not argue; he claims 1t all for
protection.
The conclusion to be drawn is that
the man is absolutely without princi-
pie. He is in the show business. That
he is in the show business VIII become
more and more plain to the people as
the canvass progresses.

The list of newspapers which were
first to declare for Parker is growing
and spreading with comfortable stead
mess. Even in wind-swept Nebraska
two editors are almost ready to fight
because each claims priority in sug-
costing the Judge as the man to go up
against the Strenuous One. 1t really
makes no difference who was first. The
main thing in some of the States, and
Nebraska is one of them is TO do the
best work for Parker's success That
is worth more than all else.

Philomath Will Have Electricity.

A plant will be put in at Philo-
math this fall and the city sup
piled with electric lights. There
are a sufficient number of resi-
dences and business houses to
justify the project and beside the
two colleges will both use elec-
rricity in addition. Electricity
has been talked of in Pnilomath
for a long time but nothing ever
came of it because the only
feasible project was wiring it
from CORVALLIS but the cost made
it prohibltive.
Philomath has a frst-class
water power of her own and Arch
Horning, who owns the Philo-
math mill, is putting in fine
new wheel tor that purpose now
and new dynamo will be in
stalled this fall. The fall of
water at his mill is about thirty
feet, more than sufficient to run
the machinery of the required
strength. When the mill race is
full it is possible to develop as
high as 3o-horse power. Citi-
zens of Philomath will readily
subscribe to have the lights put
into their homes because in ad-
dition to the cleanliness cleo
tricity is so satisfactory that where
once used the oil lamp is dis
carded. Insurance rates are re-
duced IS per cent where elec-
tricity is used. The cost will be
very moderate, 81 per month
for the first light, IS cents for
the second, 50 cents for the third,
IS cents for the fourth and all
additional lights.
Philomath possesses natural
advantages that are the envy OF
all practical business men who
see the place after they have
settled elsewhere. 1t is possible
at very small cost to have one OF
the hest water systems in the
state. The water that flows from
Mary's Peak within a mile of the
town is cool and clear the year
round. 1t is only a matter OF
time until the location becomes
more tavorably known that it
will be a thriving and very busy
place.

GLASS CONSCIOUSNESS.

S~TNS0
 The proceedings of the American Federation of Labor. represented in ra- Tional convention this week. demon stratc the controlling influence of what may be properly designated as radical common sense among the rep resentatives of organized labor thus assembled.
 The emphatic rejection of socialist theories and socialist schemes of rev olution in both society and govern ment affords gratifying evidence tha; the American wage-earne7 has time and Inclination to do hls own think ing. Apparently the frenzied and persistent efforts of professional agi- tators to arouse class consciousness in the minds of the members of he great industrial army of the country have been successful beyond the hopes and contrary to the desires of the agitatoTs. The wage-earners ap- pear 10 have become conscious of the fact that if the people of this country are to be classified, the persous who make a business of promoting indus trial strife with the avowed purpose of accomplishing revolutionary ends belong in a small and select class by themelves, without right of associa- ton with or authority 10 speak for the actual. honest. ambitious and hope ful worEnen of the country.
 Labor, whether organized or unor- ganized, has nothing of common inter- est with those who find promise of more common idleness through the in- strumentality of their own icle dreams.

declared that they would eve enter

cars were buzzing, another CON-

fellow, with a thick, muscular neck,
listened complacently. His heart and
ears were all right. The men he'd
been obliged to change their clothes
before entering the tunnel, and the big
man was putting On his collar. Sud
denly he turned pale. Gracious
