OSWALD VESTS STAND.

Oswald West is not an orator yet
a the court house last night he de-
hvered a good political speech. It
was a speech that inspires respect for
the man, for what he has done and
for his stand in this campaign.
''I am running for office upon my
record; my opponent is running away
from his" This epigram was used
by Mr West and it expresses the sit
uation very we'll.
Oswald West has a record that is
very creditable to him. As state land
agent he rendered good service to
Oregon. He entered an office that
had been Improperly filled and he
put an end to abuses that had been
expensive and disgraceful to the state
He believes he saved a million dol
lars for the school fund of Oregon
and that if other work he set in mo-
ton can be carried through success
fully it will mean another million to
that fund.
mission Mr.. West likewise rendered
good service to Oregon. He has al
ways been recognized as the most
forceful and aggressive member Of
the commission. Last night he told
OF the reductions in freight and ex-
press rates brought about through
the work Of the commission. Also
of the improvement in the railway
service. That work is on record and
people know Of It or at least they
should. for they are now sharing in
the benefits produced.
Upon his record as a public offici-
al Mr.. West stands without hedging
He is not retreating under fire. He
stands now for the same things for
which he has stood in the past. If
elected governor he will follow the
same line Of action as in the past
In other words Oswald West is plac-
ing his convictions and his self re-
spect above the lust for office. He
desires to be governor II he can at
tain that office without sacrificing
principle and without betraying his
friends. Otherwise he will do with
out the office.
Those who heard Mr. West speak
last night cannot fail to appreciate the
sincerity OF his position. The stand
which he is taking in this campaign
f. In wholesome contrast with the
attitude Of Bowerman. West is stand
ing manfully upon his record. His
opponent is running away from his.

THE COMPARTMENT CAR.

Europe is at last waking up to the
iniquities Of the compartment railway
car. Continued robberies and occa-
sional murders are having their ef-
feet, and old-world stubborness is
giving way to the idea that it may be
best to abolish the archaic system
that often gives complete opportunity
TO the criminal to ply his trade, while
subiecting the railway traveller at all
times to needless danger, discomfort
and annoyance.
When all the eight, ten or twelve
seats in the compartment are occu-
pied, one-half the passengers must
ride backwards, and every one is
Obliged to sandwich his feet in be-
tween those Of the person opposite,
or else sit in cramped torture. The
seats by the windows are sought with
primordial energy. The ventilation
invariably is bad. If there chance to
be but two persons in a compart-
ment, each regards the other with
suspicion-tfe inevitable product of
the system-until the stranger proves
himself not guilty Of sinister designs.
The worst feature of the thing is the
danger to which women are subjected
in these cars. No woman can travel
safely alone in Europe.
Recently there have been reported
in Germany several brutal robberies
Of women travellers, and in each in
stance the criminal escaped. Not
many years ago England was stirred
by a particularly brutal murder Of &
girl in railway car in the very CEN
ter Of London, the body being thrown
from the car window and the murder
er escaping.
Whatever our shortcomings in
America, in the eyes Of our European
cousins, we are not guilty Of putting
premium on crime by the use Of the
compartment car

THE LOVE LETTER.

Let the shoemaker stick to his last,
the scholar to his Latin. When he
tries to invade the special field of
Laura Jean Libby he is a wanderer in
a strange land. The love letter is a
distinct branch of literature which
demands qualities radically different
from the scholastic specialties. When
a college professor takes his pen in
hand and begins to set down on pa
per the burning words that are to
scorch the mails, let him have a care.
They may return to plague him. The
outpourings Of an ardent heart that
makes the moonlight radiant, when
read in cold blood before a judge and
jury excite the ribald laughter of the
unfeeling. Somehow the critical
public refuses to be moved by the
"ducky, dove, dear-heart-I-amt thine
own" outpourings or a middle-aged
professor with eyeglasses and emf
nent sidewhiskers.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox resents this
intrusion of savants upon her domain,
and Beatrice Fairfax advises the love-
lorn girls to beware of such as
come to them with fair words, but no
marriage license or guaranteed in
come" 1t must pain the heart of an
eminent authority on Latin. one to
whom the classics are as daily food,
to find himself sued for breach Of
promise by the other end of a chain
of love letters. Loves young dream
is poetic and beautiful, but old loves
dream sometimes turns out to be a
nightmare. What boots it If a man
possesses all the lore of antiquity, If
the pretty little mink in chiffon turns
up her nose at him? To the woman
contemplating matrimony, an en-
gagement ring and a trousseau are
| more than all the grandeur that was
Greece, all the glory that was Rome.
The most delicious form of private
communication, the love letter, is the
most embarrassing of documents. If

ly an entire 40 days session was taken
UP with the wrangling over who
should be chosen United States SEN
ator. Legislative measures of all
kinds were held up and practically
nothing was done save through log
rolling with reference to the sena-
torship.
Yet in spite OF its rotteness Bow
erman favors the old method of
choosing senator's in preference to
the new. At least his records shows
as much. He has twice been elected
as a state senator and neither time
did he take statement No. l. He
went to the legislature ready to dick
er and logroll as of old. Had a ma
jority of the last two legislatures
been in class with himself then the
cid disgraceful scenes would have
been reenacted.
In view Of his record in this par
ticular Bowerman's criticism Of the
normal school forces falls flat. It
is the criticism of a hypocrite, for in
standing for the old system of elect
ing senators Bowerman upholds log
rolling such as was never dreamed

THE FOOD OF LOVE.

(Chanler wooed Cavalieri over the
about SS.15.)
Alas for the days that have vanished
away. the days when a bit of
a song
And a plunk ira la lar on a NANCY
guitar could jolly lady along!
A lover could WOO without blowing a
cent, he sat meath a window at
night,
And warbled tune, while the silvery
moon supplied just the right
kind of light
But music no longer is fit food for
love; before a young lady will
sigh
And swear she's your own she has got
to be shown a menu from
grapefruit to pie.
A couple of cocktails. an anchovy
tart, a segment of trout au
gratin,
An olive or two and a partridge au
jus, some whitehall Drowned
crisp in the pan.
Some Chateau Tquem and a patty of
game, a pitcher of amber-hued
beer,
A brace of young quail and a quart
of mixed ale-when these in
their turn disappear
Behind the white teeth of the queen
OF your Leart, the lamp of your
hope may be lit
BY her mad happy tears when the
pudding she spears, you may
know you are making a hit.
So can the wild raptures you've shed
from your pen, write not Of the
fond turtle dove.
For honest beefsteak, hashed potatoes
and cake are now the one best
food for love.
It costs a whole lot we're compelled
to admit, but think of her man
ifold charms,
The soft whispered "yes" and the
tender caress-above all, those
velvety arms!
Ten dollars will buy her a fairly good
lunch-supposing that money
Is TIGHT,
Save up every cent like chivalrous
gent and when you make love
make it right.

IN OUR DEFENSE.

In an editorial last evening the
Oregon Journal defended the fair
name of this town in connection with
the recent episode on Court street.
1T is not just to the city and peo-
pie of Pendleton to charge them with
responsibility for the indignities
heaped upon ministers who were
holding a street meeting in that city
last week." says the Journal. 1.-THE
persons who threw the eggs are in no
sense representative of the Pendleton
spirit as reflected through many
years of orderly life. 1t was an act
that is resented by the better ele-
'nent on both sides of the contro-
versy of which it was the outgrowth."
Assuredly this is true. Pendleton

IS NOT A DICTATOR
ROOSEVELT SAYS HIS INTEREST
IN NETWORK STATEPOLlTlCS
is PERSONAL.
COLONEL EXPLAINS VIEWS
the Men Who Helped Him While
President. Nothing to Say About
Bryan.

Oyster Bay.-Those who heard
Theodore Roosevelt talk at Saga
more Hill Wednesday afternoon
came away with sharply etched
shadow picture of what his attitude
will be in state and national poll
tics. Primarily, he wishes to keep
in the background in the approach
ing campaign, for he feels that, TAX
ing too prominent a part in it, he
may be accused of assuming a die
tatorship
These views Col. Roosevelt has
to see him recently. He tells his
visitors that he is anxious to take a
hand as private citizen, but he is
willing to go no further.
Broadly speaking, he will do all
IN his power to help the men who
stood by him and his policies for
mulated during his years in the
White House, but he is nOn-commit-
tai as to whether he expects to carry
this to the point of coming out open
ly in favor of the republicans all
over the country whom he considers
does say, however, that he must for
get factional differences, and even
party lines. and support the men
and the things which he believes to
stand for the best interests of the
country as a whole. But he has
not made up his mind when he will
take any decided stand.
When the colonel heard the news
nf
he sat silent and motionless in his
chair for a full minute. He looked
as though he wanted to say some
thing, and the interviewers leaned
forward for his expected statement
on Ohio politics. Suddenly he
brought his hands together with
smack and said:
mot a word to say, gentlemen;
not word to say"
Col. Roosevelt said he had not
been reading up on Nebraska poll
tics lately and had not heard how
William J. Bryan had Jared in the
democratic convention in that state
One of the curious letters which
help to make life interesting at Sag
amore Hill caused great amusement
to Mr.. Roosevelt on Wednesday. 1t
was from some person who de-
nounced him for trying to keep from
the public the fact that he was in
terested in politics. When Mr..
Roosevelt was in New York last Fri
day he said, after conference with
several politicians, he had had an
interesting discussion On literature
The writer accused the former
president Of trying to make people
think that he had been discussing
literature, instead of politics, and
wound up by saying:
Maybe you can fool the feeble
minded reporters, but you can't fool
the public like that | know all the
time"
Whereat the colonel remarked that
it is never safe for man in public
