ROOSEVELT AGAIN.

The third term or the fourth or
fifth term bugaboo has no terrors
for the East Oregoniau, ifLhe man is
competent. honest, aggressive man
who has a mission in life, which re-
quires time and opportunity to bring
to.fullest fruition.
From the office of constable to that
of president of the United States, fit
ness and competency and adaptability
should determine the tenure of office
and not the political custom or the
selfish motives of men or parties.
There is a possibility that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, although having once
declared himself not candidate for
another term, may be persuaded to
make the race again. Since his
schemes of reform and government
cleansing are vast and necessarily
slow, if he proves his ability and
earnestness in pursuing them, the
American people will probably de-
mand that he continue his work, re-
gardless of time-worn tradition and
political dictates. The San Francisco
Argonaut reviews the question in the
following manner:
Jacob Riis, in a recent interview.
strongly intimates that the president
may be induced to accept a nomina-
tion for a third term 'if he finds it
impossible to put into effect his pro-
gram of legislation for curbing the
money power, before the end of his
present term"
There is a somewhat general ten
dency. according to the Washington
correspondents. among senators and
representatives to regard the Riis in
terview as, at least, semi-authorita-
tive.
Some politicians profess to see an
inclination on the part of the presi-
dent for a third term in his energy
displayed in New York politics, which,
they argue, shows an intention of
dominating the republican party ma
chine.

of literature, The composition of ad-
vertising is an art, great specially
and necessity in business.
Longfellow did not intend to write
an advertisement when he acknowl-
edged gift of Catawba wine from
Nicholas Longworth of Cincinnati in
his poem;
"Satawba wine has taste more di-
vine
More dulcet, delicious and dreamy"
but his poem was the first great ad-
verusement of American wines, and
he set the pace i'm the composition of
advertisements. An advertisement
now must be of such form as to at
tract, as n piece of interesting read
ing. Its composition is in the hands
of specialists. The matter when
written must be put in attractive pho
Biography, that will charm the eye.
In this city THE Advertising Club"
is composed of the composers and ar
lists, to whom newspapers and their
readers are indeb bted for the style of
advertising. that makes the pages it
occupies as interesting as any other
part of the paper. This club has just
held its monthly banuet, noticed un-
obtrusively in the news columns. But,
though it attends to business quietly.
it is one of our commercial forces,
with a usefulness greater than many
that make more stir.

UNJUST TO THE WEST,

The alarming loss of life by ship
wreck off Cape Flattery. at the north
west corner of the state of Washing
ton, is but another evidence of the
neglect of the Pacific coast and its
pressing needs by the national con-
gress.
If the government would guard that
dangerous coast with sufficient light
houses and life-saving equipment,
shipwrecks would not recur so often
nor with such terrible fatality as in
the past.
The coast of New England and in
fact, the entire Atlantic coast is close
ly guarded by the government. Ev-
cry fishing village is supplied with
life-saving crew and every promon-
tory on the coast is surmounted by
its lighthouse.
Millions have been appropriated in
the defense of the coast and for the
protection of commerce and shipping
on the Atlantic, but a measly, parsi-
monious policy has been pursued by
the government toward the Pacific
coast, including its rivers, harbors
dangerous bars and reefs and all
other public needs which affect COM
merce and human life.
And the governments policy in the
west is no worse on the sea than on
land. Where is there a western city
in Oregon, Washington or Idaho, the
size of Pendleton, enjoying a federal
postoffice building? Just try to re-
member one.
In the eastern states public money
is donated to this purpose, and the
smaller cities as well as all the middle
class and large cities enjoy the boun-
ty of the government in the shape OF
beautiful public buildings. In the
west all this pleasure and convenience
is denied the people, although for
half a century the Pacific coast has
been one Of the richest regions in the
union.
All this treatment is unjust to the
west. 1t smacks Of eastern provin-
cialism and selfishness. 1t smacks OF
a narrow, bigoted policy, which
should not find Judgement in the
breasts Of Americans. The fartherest
corner Of the union is just as much
entitled to recognition and public
blessings as those favored spots nearer
the shadow Of the capitol dome. 1t
IS time for a new national deal to-
ward Oregon and the northwest.

HARPER misunderstood.

Doctor Uarrer's position as disposer
of Rockefeller funds put him in a
light before the world which caused
him some annoyance. He was a
scholar before he was an executive
and he once wrote to a friend about
the emotions raised in him by the fact
that, as he expressed it, "Chicago and
the northwest think of me as i
money getter, and that is the reputa-
tion I have neutrality-suspicious.
which is hardly fair in view of my
antirathy for this kind of work anf
my love for the other"
one of his books. he declared, rep
resented more hours of work than he
had then spent altogether on the ad-
ministrdtire work of the University
of Chicago, in II years. This reputa-
tion of money-getting troubled him
but, as he said, the situation was be-
yond remedy. He did what he con
ceiyed to be his duty, and with his
usual courage took the consequences

Former Senator McLaurin of South
Carolina, appeared before the senate
committee on commerce last week,
and spoke in favor of the bill provid-
ing for a commission to visit China
to examine into the market there and
the opportunities for extending it,
especially so far as cotton goods are
concerned. In the course of his re-
marks, Mr.. McLaurin attacked Sec
retary of Commerce and Labor Met
calf. "It is absolutely impossible"
he said, that the department of COM
merce and labor, headed by a man
from California, should be able to
deal satisfactorily with commercial
questions involved in our relations
with China" He further asserted that
"the people of California are as IA
natical on the subject of Chinese as
the people of South Carolina are on
the subject Of the negro"

A Singing Senator.

Senator william A. Clark, of Mon
tana, the richest man in the senate,
and one of the richest in the United
States, has a high, reedy tenor voice
of which he is very proud. He gives
elaborate dinner parties and sings
"The Star Spangled Banner" sally in
Our Alley" and other similar songs
for his guests. He studied with an
opera singer in Paris for a time, on
one of his trips to Europe, and ac-
companies his songs with many Caru-
so-like gestures. The guests have tC
listen.

WAR.

world with terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed on

There were no need of arsenals OF

Would wear forevermore the curse
