ROOSEVELT IN 1908.

John c. Albert in prefacing his little
booklet of 10 pages on "Roosevlt
and the Money Power" with the fol-
lowing thought from Macbeth. gives
utterance to widespread public SEN
timent:
''Ham.-What's the news?
Ros.-None, my lord. but that the
Worlds grown honest.
Ham.-Then is dooms-day near"
Corruption and fraud had become
So rampant in the government depart
ments that it really seemed to many
that dooms-day had come when the
Roosevelt investigations began.
1t seems all the more near, when
people thought of a republican pres
ident investigating his own admins
tration, his own party. his own sup
Porters. his own co-workers.
And it seemed that the blow OF
dooms-day had fallen when this same
republican president actually sent
crooked members of his own party to
prison for fraud and ousted others
from office summarily for alleged
crooked work and heaped disgrace
ard dishonor upon the heads of vet
Grams of his own party because they
were rascals and were attached to the
government and to the party to suck
their life blood, like a parasite.
Because of Roosevelt's honesty anil
fearlessness in rebuking his own party
where it acted dishonesty and for
cleaning out fraud and corruption
from the departments where he found
them safely lodged behind partisan
protection, he is the most logical man
for the presidency in 1908.
1t seems useless to try to fix upon
n successor while Roosevelts work is
unfinished. It seems that it is
crime for him to refuse to serve longer
at this critical time when his policies
must be upheld and his program
carried out to the end.

THE GRANARY OF THE WEST.

Lying on either side of the Colum-
bia river from The Dalles to Priest
rapids is a strip of sandy country. 200
miles in length and from 100 to $50
miles in width, which wiu some day
be the granary of the west and Of the
orient.
All of this rich sandy loan lies ad-
jacent to the Columbia river and can
be irrigated from the mighty stream
some day; 1t is all uniform in COM
position, climate, altitude, character
istics and soil force and is capable of
producing more, when once under ir-
rigation. than any other region in the
west.
1t is favorably located for irriga-
ton; it lies on either side of the river
highway and is penetrated by a num-
ber of transeontinental lines of rail-
way; it is within reach of the Pacific
coast ports from which ITS vast stores
may be exported; it is within reach
OF the timber belt and the coal mines
and is supplied with every facility
for rapid settlement when once the
mountain streams are diverted upon
its arid surface.
Any part of this vast section of arid
and semi-arid country which has been
brought under irrigation. is a good
place to settle. All of it will be set
tied within the next few decades. The
Columbia river is not to flow idly to
the sea forever.
The United States government will
not permit idle land and idle water
tc jostle shoulders and still be nom
productive. The river will be called
into service before we are aware and
it will not only be the greatest high
way Of the west, but it will be the
greatest fertilizer of the Pacific coast.
1t will be made to produce crops and
/: will then carry them to market.

burden to them as are the hundred:
OF miles of levee in the Mississippi
valley; it Is just as much of a bur-
den as the dykes of Holland to thai
people; it is just as much OF a burden
as the fresh water reservoirs Of New
York city, which must be maintained
TO prevent a famine Of drinking water;
II is as much of burden as the sand
fences of New Mexico. Oklahoma and
Arizona which hold back the drifting
sand and shield the farmers crops.
Civilization is a continual struggle;
It is continual warfare; 1t is con-
tlnual task. Subjugation OF nature
brings with it responsibilities.
1t will require vigilance to keep in
repair the bitches and canals on the
Umatilla irrigation project; It requires
thousands Of dollars to keep in repair
the levee protecting the city OF PEN
dleton from the floods of the Una
t'lla. SO Freewater is only shoulder
ing her part of the inevitable and in
exorable burden Of civilization.

Rather Injurious.

Surgeon General Rixey was talking
in Washington about his recent state
ment regarding the harm that cigar
cites do to sailors.
Let them defend. the cigarettes as
they please" he said; whenever ]
hear these defenses I think of the sick
horse and the turpentine.
Tom met Bill on the road one day.
" Bill, l want a word with YOU he
said.
"'Be quick, then said Bill; I'm in
hurry.
"'What did You give your sick horse
the other day?'a
"'A pint of turpentlne.'
"Tom hurried home, and poured a
pint of turpentine down the throat of
his own ailing nag, which at once
grew worse and in an hour was dead.
Then Tom, disgusted with Bll's
veterinary ability, sought him out.
Why, BILL he said, L gave my
horse a pint Of turpentine and 1t kill
ed him.
$50 it did mine, said Bill"

THE BURDEN.

Civilization everywhere. in the
throbblng heart of London or in the
quiet suburbs of Freewater, has its
burden to bear. Every forward step
Is made at the cost Of infinite labor
and infinite sacrifice. Every accom-
pIlshment, every enjoyment, every
comfort and convenience comes only
az the result Of effort.
An incident Of this is shown in the
work Of the Freewater farmers in
protecting their farms by levee from
the ravages of floods in the WalIa
Walla river. one would think that a
small farming community could go
along and enjoy the natural resour-
ces of the country without being un-
der the necessity Of building a pro-
tecting wall, a barrier against de-
struction.
But nature has not made a smooth
pathway for any Of us. Freewater
must keep up the perpetual fight
against the elements, just as larger
communities have done. Nature is a
destructive force IL not bridled and
one Of civilizatlon's tasks is to bride
her and make her do mans bidding.
The mile Of levee which Freewater
farmers must build TO protect their
land and homes IS just as much OF a

THE PEOPLE THE BEST JUDGE.

The people are the best judges OF
what laws they want in their towns
and cities. Every town is an individ-
uality to itself and the legislature
should have nothing to say except to
see that city charters are kept within
state law
Therefore the attempt of certain
elements to take away local self gov
ernment by the people of the towns
and cities OF Oregon and throw the
charter making power in the leglsla-
ture, should be vigorously rebuked by
the people.
A referendum law amending the To-
cal self-government act. will be on
the official ballot for the peoples
votes in June and they should vote it
down. This is an effort of immoral
elements to open up the question Of
open and closed towns, and to permit
through legislative juggling many
things which the people of a city
would not permit if they had the
power in their hands, directly.
Keep the power in the hands of the
people. Let them fix their city char
tiers and their local affairs to suit
themselves.
Vote down this amendment and
hold fast to the rights Of the people

There is more activity on the pc

spring than in any similar area OF
country in the United States. This is
said without the least exaggeration.
With two transcontinental lines OF

ity are not hard to find.
