A SOBER PROGRESSIVE.

Last week the people of Oregon
had the good fortune of hearing at
first hand from one of the truly big
men of the day and a man who is re-
garded by many is being directly in
line for the presidency. He is now
touring the country-not especially
to advance his candidacy-but in a
dignified way to show the people what
he is and what he stands for so they
may judge i~ntelligently of his illness
for the high office to which he as
pires.
Woodrow Wilson is a most admir-
able type. He is a scholar but one
who combines the ideal with the &C.
tual. He is a master of political sci
ence and of logic. But he knows that
government in a republic such as ours
Is not an exact science and that
sometimes good sense and logic may
be at variance. This republic IS a
~throbbing organism hat is swayed to
n fro by conflicting interests and
conflicting ideas. The end desired is
healthy, well balanced growth, and
no one thing can produce this result
nor a it come all at once. 1t mus>
come by evolution and to force the
growth would be as unwise as to re-
tard it.
The most conspicuous characters
tics of Woodrow Wilson are his clear
sightedness, his simplicity and his
courageous frankness. He is a man
of courage but his courage is of a
different order from that of Roose-
welt. Wilson is one who knows and
knows that he knows. He feels he
is right and is willing to go forward
fearlessly. He is a fighter but he is
one who fights because he thinks he
is right-not merely because he wants
to win. If he strove for anything but
the truth and the country's welfare
he would be a Samson shorn of his
power.
Governor Wilson is a democrat in
the big sense OF the word. He believes
in the people and in the rule of the
people. He has faith in the public
and opposes the rule Of the patricians
The anarchy which he fears is the
anarchy Of the rich and moi of tn,
poor. In his Portland speeches he
pointed out the reasons for his view.
and he did it so clearly, so forcibly
ana with such sincerity that non,
who heard could fail to understand
Even the patricisns understood anc
were forced to applaud though 70.
selfish reasons they oppose him.
Naturally h people of this state
wished to know what Wilson think
OF the oregon system. He told them
He upholds the Oregon system for h
knows tina It looks to restoring tn,
sovereignty Of the people and Ina
some agency is needed to revive pop
ular government in his republic.
But while endorsing our reforma
tive methods he also sees the fault
OF the system and he pointed then
out. But ne did so with a friendli
ness and sincerity that took the stin
of criticism away. To Governo
Wilson IT seems a mistake 10 appl
the recall to the judiciary. He ad
mits the logic of applying the reca'
to judges but he questions the goo
sense Of such a course. He secs til
need Of brakes to stay the people
their impotence.
II is his sober Judgment couple
with his progressive tendencies tht
makes Governor Wilson such a form
liable candidate for president. II

Shreveport Rate Case.

The so-called Shreveport rate case,
which the Louisiana railroad commits

Texas freight business the same rates
in force between points in Texas,
came up for hearing before represent.
atives of the interstate commerce
commission here today. The Texas
railroads and the Texas railroad COM
mission are the defendants. The case
is of vast Importance to the railroads
and shippers of the two states.
Should the contentious OF Shreveport
be sustained, either the Texas rates
must be increased so as to place them
on an equal footing with those now
applying from Shreveport to Texas
points, or the interstate rates re-
duced to the Texas schedule, which
latter step would enable Louisiana
shippers to become strong competit-
ors for Texas business.

Nordica Likes English SONG.


Madame Nordica the foremost dra-
matte soprano of today, is truly YER
satile, aside from her vocal and his
trionic powers AS the prima donna
is essentially a New England woman,
she is above all else patriotic. Her
studies and researches into early
Americans have established her as one
of the most ardent advocates Of her
native land.
Madame Nordica is enrolled as a
Daughter of the American Revolution
and also as Colonial Dame, and her
early colonial documents form one of
the most valuable collections in Amer
lea. They comprise nearly one hun
bred framed specimens and include
bills of sale, deeds of transfer, mort
gage forms and special bills of sale,
curiously worded and including the
signatures of many of the historical
celebrities of the republic. They are
all framed and hung on the walls Of
one of the rooms in the singers pa

/ is the largest building of Its kind in
the world, having a frontage Of twent-

Naturally, Madame Nordica's patri-

the great singer says: ut is not fair
to compare the work OF our young

Humhusging the Farmer.

Has not the farmer been humbugeed
with reference to the reciprocity treaty ?
He joined in the movement all over the
West to retire those congressman re-
sponsible for the high rates of the Payne
bill and allied himself With the move
ment demanding downward revision.
But have not his allies deserted him up
on the first opportunity of securing the
lower rates for which he has contributed
his vote There is no denying the fact
that the very men who were so insistent
upon lower duties and SO denunciatory
of the interests which had succeeded in
loading the tariff burden upon the
people are those who now oppose the
reciprocity agreement with its reduction
of tariff duties. They do not deny that
the agreement means sweeping reduc-
ton and they do not deny That it means
still lower duties in the future, but they
withhold their support on the ground
that the lowering process is one-sided
and does not carry complete and abso-
lutely even benefits. It looks very much
as though they were humbugging the
farmer and then asking his consent to

The meeting of the county listers
here this week is easily one of the most
important gatherings ever held in the
county. Even if there were no new
laws to be considered the meeting would
be well worth the trouble and expense
through talking over methods and ex-
change of ideas, but with the new state
laws providing for the state supervision
of all the listing throughout the state
the gathering is of still greater impor-
lance as the first step toward bringing
about fair and impartial system for
all the towns. The new law and the
better enforcement OF the old will not
bring about a lower tax rate but
it may and should tend toward fairer
division of the burden of taxation. III
fact the best class Of citizens do not AS
rule object to the taxes What they
desire is the honest enforcement of the
laws and the greatest possible return for
money spent. The demands Oh the
public purse are always increasing. We
all want better roads, better schools,
better sidewalks, better protection from
fire, better sanitary regulations and bet
ter safeguarding of the public health
and all of these things cost money. Tax
Commissioner }. +. Cushman of Bur
lington is without doubt the best quail
fed man in the state to head the tax de-
partment and the state is most fortunate
in having the benefit of his services
If the listers of the state will follow as
closely as possible his advice and his
suggestions an important progressive ad-
vance is sure to be made.-Bennington
