HE EAs NEVER BEEN "GENTLeD..'

! President Roosevelt makes mistakes,
! not serious mistakes however. Perhaps
/ in the opinion of great many good
people the president falls short of the
| dignity which they feel should apper-
! tain to the president of the United
+; States when he gets down to brass
lacks and tells certain newspapers, in
terests and individuals what he thinks
of them. He gets mad, good and mad,
and acts like a man who is angry.
When he has got thru with his oppon-
ent there are strips of clothing, pieces
of hide and bushels of epithet scat
tered all over the front yard. 1t does
lack dignity, it is far off from our old
ideals of craftsmanship" gained by
observation of the poseur with one
hand under his coat tails and the 9TH
er in the bosom of his vest; it lacks
the calm of the senate and approaches
the turmoil of the house; but it is sat
isfactory, satisfactory to Roosevelt
president, and to the general public,
which is backing Roosevelt.
Roosevelt doesn't say, Il regret that
the gentleman who edits and the cap
italists who own these mighty medi-
ums of publicity published in New
York and Indianapolis, should have
been deceived into making charges
which are largely unfounded in fact"
Not Roosevelt. He says they lied and
calls for them to show the proof of
their scandalous assertions or turn
their tanks to the branding iron. He
tells the public why these interests buy
newspapers to use as they use attor
neys and hire editors as they make
corporation officials and bank borrow
ers out of office boys Notice that
when Theodore Roosevelt calls a man
or gang hard names he' lays off his
coat and prepares to make good right
then and there.
1t isn't nice for the president to call
names, but the president has never
been classified as mice" individually
or officially. 1t isn't dignified but a
president who hunts wildcats under
the camera, plays tennis and carries
the lethal' punch behind his boxing
gloves is not a stickler over dignity.
The truth is Theodore is rude when he
gets excited, but he's honest, I'M
afraid and dangerous to crooks, SLAM
derers and corporation foldup men.
He has done things that make these
classes hate him and pursue him and
his; administration. But they only
chase about so far.
If we were to make a choice, which
would we prefer, Teddy, the rough
rider and his accomplishment, or a
real dignified sort without energy? The
bucking bronco or hack which has
been "gentled' until anybody or inter-
est can ride him?

WHO'LL PAY THE BILL?

had strayed away from the herd which
runs around town. He was placed in

finally turned over to A. l.. Frace to

the hog is diseased and worth about

Yield per acre Observation-Disclosures $3.50
The late Richard Simpson set a
piece to pine thirty-one years ago on
land too poor to cultivate. The wood
now is estimated to be worth $3.50 an
acre at least
These groves had no treatment to
hasten their growth or improve the
quality of the lumber, and with the
exception of the removing of one or
two dead trees it might be said that
they took care of themselves. Had
these plantations been pruned so that
the whole growth of the branches had
been thrown into the trunks they
would have been worth at least 10 per
cent more.
practical Pass a law in the coming
legislature compelling each road SUI
pervisor to plant so many thousand
trees each year. for so many succeed
ing years. The cost each year to the
taxpayer of each road district will be
so small, even the heaviest tax payers
will hardly notice it. Thirty to forty
years from row the taxpayers will be
in possession of pine lumber whose
sale or use will very materially re-
duce the road taxes of Iowa. Here's
chance for some legislator in the
session of the legislature of 1909 to
do some practical work.
In an Iowa town the other day thu
writer walked on n cement walk raised
at least five feet above the level of the
road. 1t was on the main street lead
ing up from the railroad depot, used
as much both by strangers and town
people as any sidewalk in town. There
is no guard rail, or anything to pre-
ing off either side and getting fall
five or six feet into the road below. In
fact one man has already walked off
it. and had severe fall Recent de-
cisions have been to the effect that
the city can recover from the lot own

list In this referred to case, any one
could easily recover damages, large
or small, according to actual damage
Any jury would give a verdict for the
plaintiff when the facts We're shown.
The lot owners in this case, if the city
had $1,000 judgment rendered against
them, are financially able to recoup the
city. Moral-fiX such unsafe walks be-
fore some one is injured and sues the
city for such injuries.

PLAN POWER HOUSE
officials Will Begin Actual Work On
Plant as Soon as Walla Walla
Grants Franchise.

Promoters of the Washington Ore
gon Traction company are fast com
plotting plans for actual construction
work on the immense power house to
be constructed on the upper Walla
Walla river about eight miles above
the present power house Of the North
west Gas aud Electric company, asys
the Walla Walla Union.
All that is holding the work back
now is the action of the city council in
granting a franchise allowing the
company to operate and maintain
power station in Walla Walla.
The franchise was introduced at the
last meeting of the council Monday
night, and read through its first read
ing. 1t was then referred to the coun-
Gil as whole, to be acted upon finally
at an adjourned meeting to be held
next Tuesday night. That the fran
chise will be granted seems to be the
general opinion of those who were
present at the last meeting OF the
council and held arguments, made he-
fore that body.
Realizing that such a power house
situated in close proximity to this city
will revolutionize the lighting and
power problem, which Is now such an
important factor in the clty's affairs,
it can hardly be doubted that favor
able action will be taken by the ooun-
Gil when that body meets to act on the
proposition finally.
The Washington Oregon Traction
company is concern being promoted
by local men who are among the most
substantial business promotres in the
city. They have been working on a
sewer plant. and su subsequently, an elec-
trio railroad, for several months and
are just now getting into position
where actual work can be started.
The site for the new power house is
said to be one of the most advantageous
places on the Walla Walla river,
