\ TYPE.

Ex-Governor Folk is a clean-cuit,
able, well balanced public man. He
draws the line sharp and clear be-
tween what is right and what is
he is not bitter or onesided about it.
He calmly points out the course that
should De followed and insists the
path be taken. His record shows
that he has the courage of his con-
victions n that he is a doer of the
right as we'll as a believer in the
right.
Governor Folk is Of the type of
men America needs at this time.
Theodore Roosevelt is another. They
are opponents of the simple virtues.
They call for the exercise of COM
the square deal. Both men look up
on the overrich and the wretchedly
poor is equally undesirable. over
wealth and squalor are both products
OF an abnormal state of affairs. In
the misery Of the multimillionaire
and Of the pauper there is an element
OF similarity. One is overfed. the
other starved. Both classes consti-
tUte a menace to the republic.
Governor Folk takes the view that
the colossal fortunes which now
threaten this country are not due to
industry and ability so much as to
the enjoyment Of unjust privileges.
These privileges must be cut away
and they will be as time goes on. The
regulation Of corporations by the gov
eminent looks to this end. The ad-
option Of the initiative and the ref
erendum, the direct primary and the
recall are steps in the same direction.
These things are desired because they
tend to Leep the government in the
hands Of the people and do away with
legislation for special interests and of
the administration Of the govern
ment in behalf Of those interests.
Like other wise men Governor
Folk is an optomist. While there are
many things that may be criticised
he sees hope in h fact that the
criticism is forthcoming. He knows
that the world goes forward, moi
backward and that man is a rising
animal, not a fallen angel. The
golden age is before US, not behint
US. 1t is only necessary that oul
democracy be maintained in trutf
az well as in name and that thu
forces Of privilege be not allowed Il
gain the mastery.

MISGUIDED AGAIN.

It seems that organized labor in
Portland has been interested in the
move to refer the university appro-
priation. Then organized labor in
Portland is under foolish leadership.
Labor should uphold and not fight
education. The safety of this repub-
lie rests upon our educational insti-
tJtions and labor has more to gain
through the maintenance of the state
schools than has capital. The rich
man may send his son to a tuition
school while the poor nan annot do
so. But the state schools are as open
to the poor as to the rich. A truer
democracy exists in the educational
Institutions of this state than any
where else in the commonwealth. The
state schools should be maintained
literally and labor should stand as a
firm defender of these schools, not as
an assailAnt.

I've been through the mill my boy,

I've seen gold turn out alloy,
I've seen friendship turn to hate.
I've seen plans go far astray
When it seemed they must succeed.
Take ii from me today,
Never so above your speed.
Never spend a cen unearned,
Never gamble on the morrow,
Here's a lesson man has learned
very often to his sorrow;
Let an, old man tell you now
Save a little-you may need,
Guard yourself, and, anyhow,
Never go above your speed.
I've been through the mill, I know
Just how easy life appears
To the eyes of youth; but, oh,
Far down the lane of years
Disappointment wait for you,
Vain will be regrets, indeed,
Keep your heart and purpose true,
Never go above your speed.

SOME POLITICAL HISTORY

Some interest in Oregon history is
revived by the death of Lafayette
Grover. former governor of Oregon
United states senator. He passed
away in Portland Wednesday fore
noon and his biography reveals the
fact that he played a conspicuous part
in the early day affairs of the state.
the early day affairs of this state.
Governor Grover was a native of
Maine and came to Oregon so years
ago. He first resided at Salem from
which place he moved to Portland
where he practieed law. In 1857 he
was one of the delegates to the Ore
gon constitutional convention and
when the state was admitted to the
union in 1859 he was chosen as the
first cngressman. He was governor
from 1870 until 1877 and retired
from the ~governorship to become
United States senator. He retired
from active life in 1888 and hence he
has been little known to the present
generation of oregon citizens.
Prior to its occupancy by Mr.. Gro
yer the governorship of Oregon was
held by three different men. John
Whitaker, democrat, was first gov
ernor and he served from 1859 until
1862. He was followed by A. C
Gibbs, republican, who held the chair
from 1862 to 1866 George L
Woods, republican, served from 1866
to 1870 when the people again elect
d a democrat in the person of Gov
.ernor Grover.
. Since 1877 Oregon has had nine
governors as follows: 5. F. Chadwick
democrat, from 1871 to 1878; w. w.
Thayer, democrat, from 1873 to 1892;
Il. F. Moody, republican, 1882 to 1897;
Sylvester Pennoyer, democrat, 1887
to 1895 w. p. Lord, republican, 1895
to 1899; T. T. Geer, republican, 1899
to 1903; George E. Chamberlain,
democrat 1903 to 1903; F. w. Ben
son, republican, 1909 to 1911, and
Oswald West, democrat, present in
cumbent.
It is noticeable that despite the fact
that Oregon is a republican state and
has long been one, seven out of the
10 men who have held the COVER
ship have been democrats. Even in
the early days the people of this state
followed the theory that one cannot
Judge the calibre Of an official by the
party label he may wear. During
the past % years no republican has
ever been reelected as governor
/ While thus far no democratic incum-
bent has failed Of recollection.
Unquestionably this has been due
largely to the fact that the democrat,
ic governors, being of the minority
party and not being hampered with
party machinery and machine lead
ers, have been free to administer af-
fairs for the benefit Of the public anC
the public only while the republican
executives have not been so untram
melled. fractional differences have
also usually worked to prevent thu
denomination Of a republican COVER
nor and at times those difference
have done much to bring about dem
~ocratic success.

EXTRA SESSION MAY
RUN FAR INTO SUMMER
STORIES At REST
ONCE AND FOR ALL
Taft Tells Baron Uchida There
Is Nothing to Sensational
War Talk.

Washington, March a2-President
Taft to-day sent&sfor Japanese AM
hassador Baron jfthida. TO feicitate
with him upon the ratification or the
new treaty beween this country and
Japan. He took advantage OF the &C.
casion to set at rest once and for all
the stories Which have been published
from time to time during the past two
weeks that back OF the administra-
tons action In sending troops 10 the
Mexican border was a motive Of pre-
caution against some expected treach-
erous act BY Japan. 1t also was re-
ported that Japan had secured from
Mexico coaling station ON the Pacitic
coast. to be used 5 a base in attack
ing the United States.
The President declared to-day that
he was amazed to find on his return
from Augusta that some newspapers
had been giving crcdcnce TO these re-
ports by publishing them in pronli-
nent manner. It was the first he had
heard of them, and he quickly ex-
pressed his regret that such malicious
Stories" as he called them. should
gain circulation.
Baron Uchida is said to have as
sured the President that he had at
tachcd no Importance to the reports
and had discovered that they emanated
from irresponsible sources. The inter
view lasted for fully half an hour.
Cabinet Snfisfed.
President Taft and his Cabinet met
to-day for the first time in over two
weeks. The Mexican situation was
discussed briefly. The President and
his Cabinet advisers are very we'll
satisfied with the situation, and mat
ters will remain at standstill so far
as this government is concerned a
strong hope is expressed In admins
tration circles that conditions In
Mexico will improve speedily The
Washington government is anxious
that the two factions. in Mexico shall
get together.
Intense disappointment is expressed
here however, over the fact that
Finance Minister Limantour has seen
fit TO seek a peace agreement by hold
ing tho United States up as a sort OF
bugahoo, and making statements to
the effect that this government is but
waiting an opportunity TO get into
Mexico. Such statements arc entirely
unwarranted, and are regarded here
as not calculated to bring about good
feeling. The new Secretary Of the
Interior Mr.. Fisher. attended his first
Cabinet meeting to-day.
