REAL OPTIMISM

Don't worry if the day is dark and all
the world is dreary;
Some day the sun will shine again
till you are good and dreary.
Don't worry if you have no friends
and no heart seems to soften;
Some day you'll have a lot and they
will touch YOU hard and often.
Don't worry if you're on your back
with fever's grim ensiavement.
Just think. You might be on your
back on some hard icy pavement.
Don't worry if your wife elopes and
thus appears to flout YOU:
Suppose you had, by accident. two at
time about you9
Don't worry if the bank has failed
and all your cash is going;
Suppose you were its president with
fourteen millions owing.
Don't worry if you're crazy. quite.
and no one can deny it:
Suppose, as in my case, YOU had TO
make your living by L

Hon. William II. Buchanan is one Of

candidate for assemblyman in Chau-

to say further that no man can carry
the labor vote into the Democratic
camp 1 know how union labor men
feel in this city, and three-fourths of
them will stand by the Republican
party because only in that way have
they the assurance Of freedom from
the business disturbance that Mr.. Bry-

TAFT's RELIGION.

A Consistent Christian with No Spot
Upon His Record of Private Con-
duct and Public Service.
To dispose Of questions which should
us say that Mr.. Taft is member Of
the Unitarian church. That was the
church Of his parents, and he has never
separated himself from it. His wife,
however, is an Episcopalian, and he
worships more often beside her in her
church. -I..,
These are the facts, which are utter
ly and absolutely unimportant. The
matter of a mans religion has no right
full place in consideration of his fitness
for the presidency. The constitution
of the nation, ordained and esta blished
ito secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity," expressly
places the very suggestion Of such
thought outside the pale of patriotism.
No words can be clearer than these
from our country's fundamental law,
''No religious test ever shall be re-
quired as a qualification to any Office
or public trust under the United
States
The numerous queries about Mr.
Tafts religious belief shows simply the
extent to which his enemies have gone
to rouse some prejudice against him.
Since there was no spot upon his whole
clean record of private conduct and
public service to which they could
point to Taft's detriment they display
ed their willingness to descend to any
depth of petty, cowardly. contemplate
attack that might do him harm

III It's advocacy of Mr.. Taft. 1t charac-
terizps him i true friend of labor and
declares that the unfair attacks of Mr..
Gompers will have little or no effect in
alternating from him the labor world.
It says: "That Secretary Taft is true
friend of labor is certain, and all the
untrue, ungenerous, vicious attacks
that President Gompers or any one else
may make on him cannot prevent him
from continuing to be the friend of the
wage worker. Organized labor cannot
afford to have itself split up into fac
tions on this political issue. That Pres
ident Gompers is wrong in forcing this
most ominous fight is certain, and in
telligent wage workers will certainly
come to this conclusion.'

Raymond, the Washington CORE
spondent Of the Chicago Tribune, who
is regarded as one of; the most. reliable
political writer's in the country, regards
the result of the Vermont election as
presaging absolute victory for Mr.. Taft.
In a recent special dispa tch to the
Tribune Raymond said:
practically speaking, the result Of
Tuesdays election Is more favorable to
right to expect, because there has been

'There il, Of course, a slight falling
or in the vote of both Republicans and
Democrats, as compared with. four
years ago, but this was entirely to be
expected, because at that time Roose-
yelt was the nominee of his party for
president, and the result in Vermont in
that year was, merely a forerunner of
the tremendous landslide which took
place al! over the country.
".As it is. the plurality Of over $4,000
at Yesterdays election is taken to be
an indication that. while the campaign
this year is not to be a sensational one,
the election OF Mr.. Taft is foreshadowed

''If Vermont can be taken as an in
dex Of the condition of public opinion
throughout the country, it means that
in the November election, whatever
strength the Independence League de-
velops in the other States will come
almost exclusively from Bryan and not
from Taft s.s. ...
1.-The Vermont Democrats, while few
in number, are extremely rockribbed in
their sentiments. They make point of
going to the polls year after year and
carry on hopeless fight merely be-
cause they want to set good example
to the Democrats ia other States. In
1896 they repudiated Bryan and the free
silver heresy, and they did 1t largely
by staying at home on election day.
The result was a plurality of little
over 10000 for Mckinley, which has
been a record in Vermont elections In
the State elections of 1900 and 1904
the Democratic vote was practically
stationary"

WHIRLW1ND CAMPAIGN.

The present indications are that
from now until the close of the
poles on election day we will see
one of the liveliest political cam
paigns ever waged in the state of
Oregon.
With the betting four to one
against Bryan in New York, with
no takers. it would indicate a
lost cause for Democracy in that
state, hence they are shifting
their forces even to the Pacific
Coast with the vain hope of car
rying California, Washington and
Oregon. Many able speakers,
from a democratic standpoint,
will inhale the exhilerating at
mosphere of Oregon perhaps for
the first time. Even our own be-
loved non-partisan Gov. Cham
beriain has been commanded to
step out from the Republican pie
counter and pour hot molasses
down the backs Of his erstWhile
friends.
Our Republican brethren are
fully apprised of the situation and
will give us some of the good old
solid fellows that have stood by
the guns on many a hotly con-
tested battlefield.
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana,
one of the finest campaign orators
in the United States, will lead off
at Portland about the 9th of Oc-
tober. Heis polished gentleman,
a deep and logical thinker, as we'll
as a fluent speaker, having abso-
lutte control of the English Ian
guage in marked degree. He
is thoroughly posted on all the
political questions of the day and
his private character, as we'll as
public record, is above reproach,
a fact which is so essentially nec-
essary in view of the spirit of
reformation which is now sweep.
ing the country. To him will be
accorded the honor of placing the
rainbow colors on Mr.. Bryan's
speeches.
Hon. J. S. Sherman. Taft's
running mate, will also be in
Oregon in October and will show
aus that our leaders made no mis-
take in point of ability when they
placed him second on the Nation
al ticket.
With our happy homes and
generous wave of prosperity all
around US, we fail to realize the
Importance attached to the pres
ent campaign and it is high time
we were beginning to get down
to business.

REPLY TO w. j
BRYAN.

The Oregonlan prints the fol-
lowing summary of Roosevelt's s
reply to Bryan in the Haskell
exposure byssW. R. Hearst:
Haskalls close relation with
the Standard Oil Interests in
Ohio was a matter of common no
toriety.
In defiance of the Attorney
General of the Estate (Oklahoma)
he intended to protect the inter-
ests of c great corporation (the
Prairie Oil & Gas Company, con-
trolled by the Standard) against
The law.
Contrast your action in this
case of Governor Haskell with
Mr.. Taft's action as regards Sem
ator Foraker.
Mr.. Taft refused to be a party
to the denomination of Senator
Foraker, showing by actual deeds
that his words were true when he
said: Il do not care for the
Presidency if it has to come by
compromise with any one OH a
matter of principle"
With hundredfold clearer evil
dence you have secured Governor
Haskall to write the platform and
put him in as treasurer of your
camraign committee.
l regard it as a scandal and
disgrace that Governor Haskell
should be connected With the
management of any National
campaign.
Let me call your attention to
his conduct in prostituting to
base purposes thest ateuniversity.
You have indeed advocated
measures against private monop-
olies that sound more radical
than either I or my party associ-
ciates have been willing to under
take, but they have the prime de-
feet that in practice they would
not work.
l put Mr.. Taft's deeds against
your words. I ask that Mr. Taft
be judged by all his deeds, for he
wishes none of them forgotten.
/ ask that you be judged both by
the words you wish remembered
and by the words that seemingly
you and your party now desire to
have forgotten.
l hold it entirely natural for
any great law-breaking corpora
ton to wish to see you placed in
the Presidency. Your plans to
put stop to abuses are wholly
chimerical.
