The initiative and referendum is the
law which has placed the state of Ore
gon in the very forefront of political
progress-that has changed the form
Of government from a representative
government to practically a pure DEM
ocracy-and that has made corrupt
machine politics impossible by vesting
in the people the power of absolute
self government.
AS you undoubtedly are aware, this
same law has recently been adopted
by the new state Of Oklahoma and a
similar measure has passed one branch
of the North Dakota legislature, and

this control of untold power and energy
instead Of making men freer and hap

WHAT IT COST TO TRY
HARRY K. THAW

NEW YORK, April 24-Estimates
made today as to the expense of the
trial of Harry K. Thaw, attracted
nearly as much attention as did the
probable outcome of the long hearing.
Apparently authentic estimates indi-
cate that the trial to date has cost
considerably over 100000. or this
sum 1t is estimated probably $235, 900
has been spent by the Thaw family,
while the expenses to the state has
been in the neighborhood of $4,000.
At te district attorneys office it
was stated that the trial has not cost
the county over 100000. This does
not include salaries and such expenses
as come out of the general sessions
fund. Conservative estimates give
$4,000 as probably the minimum cost
to the state:
The expense Thaw has incurred in
his own defense has bee nvariously es-
timated as high" as $2,00O,OO0. AS a
matter Of fact he has probably not
spent over the $235.000t, estimated.

union stands for the thoughtful, con-

Dor has taken the cue from from this
revelation of Rooseve1t's real attitude
toward workingmen, and the report
comes from Washington Of the "de-
claration Of the high officials Of the
American Federation Of Labor" that

We will not fall into the Roosevelt

PRESIDENT SHOULD NOT
INTERFERE WITH COURT
Hardly a Square Deal for
Roosevelt to Forestall
Courts Action.
Fair Minded People All Over
the Land Protest Against
It.

It is not surprising that fair minded
people are protesting through the press
and by letter to the president against
Mr.. Roosevelt's reference to Eugene
Debs and to Meyer and Haywood In
his letter evoked by the Hartman con-
troversy.
When the president of the United
States, in a letter intended for pub
lioation, branded Mr.. Hartman as
worse even than Debs, Meyer and
Haywood" he went out Of his way to
do a wrong and unworthy thing.
Reference UneaIlsd For.
The meaning, and the only meaning
of the presidents reference is that
these men are the extreme limit Of bad
and dangerous citizenship. Yet Mr..
Debs' offense is that. on the great
question of the proper organization or
society, he does not believe as most OF
us and the president believes. So far
as we are advised, he is a good citizen
in the ordinary meaning OF the term
honest, law abiding, conscientiously
attending to his family, social and
civic duties.
In the case of Meyer and Haywood
the presidents offense is still more
fragrant. These men are about to go
on trial for their lives. 1t is still the
presumption Of the law that they are
innocent. They are entitled to that
presumption. They are entitled to a
fair and impartial trial before an un-
prejudiced jury.
Yet President Roosevelt, publicly,
has presumed to prejudge the case
against them! He has sent across
the continent the weight of his great
influence to weigh in the balance
against them from this time until the
time when the jury shall hand in Its
verdict.
Mr.. Roosevelt has had a great deal
to say at sundry times, about the
square DEALS" At other times he has
pleaded for words backed by deeds. y
We wonder what caused him to for
get all about his high sounding plati-
tudes when he went out Of his way
to belabor these men unjustly merely
because he had quarrel with his
friend, Hartman? Whatever else may
be charged to Debs, Meyer and Hay
wood, they certainly cannot be charg-
ed with any responsibility for Harri-
man, the methods he employs or the
power he wields. To the contrary, 1t

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.
A Never Failing Recipe Prescribed by
One Who Thoroughly Understands
tho Anatomy and Physiology Of the
Subject.

Try to be patient with the failings
of your friends; not simply tolerating
them, but looking at them in a spirit
Of affection and charity, with the reali-
zation that faults are an inevitable
part of human nature.
Don't allow yourself to get into the
blue" habit. It's a crime against So
ciety as we'll as yourself, and each re-
versal to that condition weakens your
powers of resistance and your strength
of character in q direct ratio.
Avoid satire as you would the seven
year plague. 1t corrodes the heart Of
the marksman as we'll as that of the
target.
Don't meet people in a critical spirit
There is much to criticise in any Of
us, but the person who isloved is the
one who has the goodness to overlook
mucD that Is wanting.
Never allow yourself to fall into the
vulgarity Of criticizing your friends.
Their shortcomings should be sacred
to you. If you do indulge in this
weakness, don't expect close friend
ship from any source.
Never-never-never complain! q
one of the most common failings of
the human family, and one of the most
deplorable. If things don't come your
way, force a smile and keep the knowl-
edge to yourself. It is generally per-
sons Of infinitest1nal trials who COM
plain the loudest. Great sorrow lends
strength to it's bearers.
Be generous; I don't mean to give
away the things you cherish most; I
mean, be generous in thought-if your
friend fails you at a critical moment,
remember that it has hurt him more
than it can possibly have harmed YOU
and forget it. Be generous in ex-
pression-if you love your friend hon.
estly, let him know it. If Won ara
wrapped IN admiration of his gifts. of
MS strength Of character, of his char
lty, tell him so. There Is all too little
expression of feeling In this age.
Don't hate On sight. People whom
one dislikes at meeting, frequently aft
erward become dear friends. Dislike
is much a matter of habit. If Won are
not interested In person, feel indiffer.
ence toward him or her if Won vii,
but don't say or think that YOU DISLIKE

Don't be chary Of words of praise
Many there are who starve for it and
grow bitter and unlovely for the lack
OF commendation. There are, of course
friends whose sympathies are 50 close

best of all, but to the great majority
of us, praise that doesn't blossom in

ROOSEVELT PREJuDCES
UNC0NV|CTED PERSONS
A Seating Rebuke of Such
Presumption BY Horace
Mann in Buffalo Press.

One of the most shocking revela-
tions of demagogy to be found in all
the annals of politics is contained in
President Roosevelt's letter to con-
gresham Sherman, which was made
public last week. 1t is almost 1mpos-
sible to escape the convictions that Mr..
Roosevelt's real opinion is that labor
leaders are undesirable citizens"
Meyer and Haywood have never been
convicted Of any crime. What, then,
does the president mean by saying
that a man who boasts of his ability
to commit the crime of bribery is "at
least as undesirable citizen as Debs,
or Moyer, or Haywood" What does
he think of James Whitcomb Riley's
description of "Gene Debs" as a man
with
"A heart as warm as ever beat
"Betwixt there and the judgment
seat?"
Rooseveit's Marrow Policy.
Is there nothing in the nation that
is worthy except Roosevelt and
Roosevelt policies ?"-that is, the adj
vancement of Roosevelt, for that is
the only policy which he has adhered
to with unvarying loyalty.
I would be the last person to place
any obstruction in the way Of policy
of railway control if the president
would manifest an intelligent effort to
back his words with deeds. But Mr..
Roosevelt still has two years in which
to inaugurate his ''policies," and If he
really means to cut loose from c6rpo-
ration influence and be the president
of the people, the reforms which ADLER
men than he have been advocating for
years will be so thoroughly established
in that time that a reactionary candi-
date for president would be an ''also
ram in either national convention. The
people want government to be i'm
partial, and, while we are not all
Missourians, we will have to be
shown why Meyer and Haywood are
not as desirable citizens as Roosevelt
and Hartman or Plat and Depew. 4
T. 'Roosevelt's Real Attitude. !.
In this: 'unwarranted"> and ;"altro-
cious"55 attack on Debs Meyer and
Haywood, Mr.. Roosevelt unconscious
ly- perhaps, descended to the level OF
the rant which characterizes the
scurrilous attacks on union labor OF
