ROOSEVELT.

Roosevelt will accept another NOM
ination if it is rendered him and there
are admirers by the multitude who
will get him that nomination if they
can. He is a man that people like
because he is democratic, honest and
courageous. He is a fighter from
Fightersville. He is full of faults but
he is also the embodiment of many
virtues. He was the sod breaker for
many good reforms and whether he
wins out this time or not his name
is written in American history in
letters that will never fade.
AS to whether or not the colonel
will be called upon to make the race
again for president it will be much
easier to tell about three months
hence. Just at this time the cards
are all against him. The machinery
is in the hands of the other man and
i. has been working for some time
past. The republican national con-
vention is usually made up of poll
tlcians and it is dominated by what
may be termed the machine element.
That element does not like Roosevelt
a little bit. He is not their sort.
There is one condition however,
under which the politicians might see
their way clear to love the colonel
again. That condition is that they
come to a realization of the fact Taft
cannot be reelected and that Roose-
welt might be. But if the aforesaid
politicians are as dense as they usu-
ally are they viii not come to this
realization soon enough. Politicians
of the machine sort usually think
they know it all and that all other
people are ready to follow at their
heels. They don't know that many
watch them with the intention of 60
ing in the opposite direction.
If there are politicians anywhere
who should be sensible they are the
republican politicians of Oregon. They
have had their heads bumped fire.
quently Of late. Yet they refuse to
learn. They say that they now like
the Oregon system. Yet they are al
most to a man for Taft who opposes
direct legislation and says in SUBJ
stance that the people Of Oregon are
Leurotics. SO what's the use.
1t is possible that Roosevelt may
rot win against Taft before the re-
publican convention but may so tire
out his opponent in the race that
Taft will not appear to good advan-
tage when he enters for the main
heat next all--particularly if at
time there should be long legged
man upon the track.

KINDNESS WINS.

Governor Vests honor policy
scored another victory the other day
when a convict, Charles A. Barrett,
confessed to the governor the facts
regarding the famous $4,000 gold
bullion robbery from the steamer
Humboldt. As a result of the con-
fession at least a part of the bullion
has been recovered and the author
tiles are in line to get at the partici-
pants in that crime.
The confession of Barrett is an
other instance showing that men may
often be led where they cannot be
driven; that the extended hand is
often more effective than the closed
fist; that a friendly smile will prevail
where harsh denunciation can ac-
complish nothing. Many men may
be reached more effectively through
an appeal to good qualities they have
than through criticism of their faults.
This is fact, it is not a mere theory
Governor West is trying an inter-
esting experiment with the prisoners
of the penitentiary and he is pro-
ducing good results. The honor sys-
tenn may meet with setbacks now AMI
then but if it does it also scores some
splendid triumphs. The case of Bar
rett is one of them.

DR.. Lincoln Mcconnell preached to

his text He that covereth his sins

The question is first: What is sim
Who has right to say what is and
what is not sin? am convinced that
Satan is Determined to disabuse our
minds of all impression that sin Is
bad thing and prevent our believing
the truth about it. 1 am quite sure
Almighty God is the one who has a
right to say what is and what is not
sin.
The first great definition OF sin Is
tSin is the transgression of the law"
It Is conduct on our part that belittles
the law of God. Do YOU violate the
law of God? Christian perfection does
not mean perfection of word, thought
or deed and yet there is such a thins
as Christian perfection and as God
looks at it, we will be perfect. Mans
judgment is imperfect. Man cannot
accurately tell all the truth, hence his
thoughts will be imperfect. Because
his thoughts are imperfect, his words
will be imperfect and his deeds will
be imperfect because his thoughts and
words are not right.
What is the difference between a
christian and a sinner? A sinner does
not care what God says. A christian
does care and does only what God
would have him do. as nearly as he
knows.
Here is another definition of sin
