CAN IT SUCCEED?

The main concern of the Bullm0os-
ers now is to implant in the minds of
the people that their party" Is not a
"one-man movement" They are hav-
ing all manner Of trouble in this re-
spect. Eighty per cent Of the men
who have enlisted under the banner
OF the thrd-termer have little idea CT
the platform Of his party They prob
abby wouldn't recognize it, from the
regular national Republican platform
If the two were posted side by side
without other distinguishing marks
And they don't care about platforms,
anyway. It's just Roosevelt with
them They are perfectly willing 10
vote to overthrow established tradi-
tiOns, to inaugurate new and untried
theories, and even to threaten the sta
bility Of government, by granting per-
mission and power to Roosevelt to as
sLme the duties Of president, simply
because it is Roosevelt who asks the
sacrifice.
can a movement founded upon so
insecure footing, whose paternity Is
the personal ambition Of an unsafe
ana inasane demagogue for perpetua
tion in power, be successful in this
country? Are the American people
ready to desert time-tried and tested
institutions and methods which have
given unexampled prosperity and sta
bility to this nation and made it the
greatest on EARTH merely at the be-
hest Of one individual whose over
and dominant egOtism Is
his one overshadowing Characteristic?
We do not believe il.
The new movement will attract the
disappointed office seek
ers and others who don't know and
can't explain why they are there, but
1t will not have the support of the
great body of calm, thoughtful peo-
pie. These win think twice before
they espOuse the personal cause of
Roosevelt and will remain steadfast to
The faith and belief that the prosper
ty and progress OF the entire coun-
Try is paramount to the personal am
)ltiOns of any man.

Efforts of the Democratic spell
binders and newspapers to annex the
LaFollette support for Candidate Will
son are ludicrous i'm the extreme.
With much satisfied effrontery it is
claimed that every last one of the
Wisconsin senator's friends will vote
for Wilson in an endeavOr to further
LaF'ollette's progressive ideas" Just
how they figure that a vote for a
Democratic candidate will help the
Wisconsin man, is not evident. SEN
ator LaFollette has declared that the
only way to secure the triumph of his
progressive ideas is to work within
the party rather than to flock to the
standard of Roosevelt. If this be
true how, then, can it be accomplished
by deserting the Republican party
and voting for Wilson?

Ben Selling, Republican candidate
for United States senator, is out in an
address to the voters of Oregon in
which he defines his position in the
presidential contest, and declares that
he viii support President Taft. The
dominant feature in the Selling state
ment is its evident sincerity. Mr.
Selling declares himself as one of the
first progressives in Oregon and says
that he is still fighting for, and be-
lieves in. those principles He shows
pwpp; apnt Oney n cgcgtt
by calling attention to his record in
the state legislature, and in the politi-
cal campaigns in Multnomah county,
that he has done much to give
Oregon its advanced form Of govern
ment. He declares that President
Taft is a progressive and, as such, is
entitled to the support of every hon
est believer in progressive ideas. Mr..
Selling's statement is clear, concise
and frank, and will result in securing
for him the support of the Oregon
Republicans.

Now that the dates for the fall Har-
vest Festival and School Fair have
been decided upon, it is up to every
citizen of Dallas to do what is posi-
Bile to make the affair success. Es-
peciallly should there be a compre-
hensive display of farm products and
fruit. Polk county has no superiors
among the counties of the state in
this regard, and steps should be TAX
en- at once to see that the best is on
display. That the school portion of
the exhibit will be in every way wOr-
thy of the blue ribbon school coun-
ty of Oregon" is already assured-let
us see to it that the display of pro-
ducts Of the soil may be something to
be proud of.

A Newport newspaper complains
that the Carson wild West show,
which recently visited Toledo, didn't
advertise in Newport and thus ap-
prise the people of its coming, in or
der that they might attend. The New
port people shouldn't lose any sleep
over the shows neglect, especially
since the principal stunt in connec-
ton with the show appears to be the
adeptness of some of its attaches in
short change tactics and of its hang
ers-on i'm flimilamming the public.

The rumpus in the Oregon National
Guard has become a disgrace to the
soldery of the state and should be
speedily forgotten The actions of the
general staff and of the adjutant gem

disbandment of the Second battalion
Is becoming distasteful to the people
generally, who know little and care
less about the matter. Politics dOmi-

is needed in Oregon. it appears, is a

Columbus in third place. Manager
F'riel told Jerry Downs and Willis
Mailing that they could never play
on a Columbus team after that season.
Downs, as luck would have it, was
drafted. Mailing writes a letter every
other day asking to report. but is
denied.
4. Harry Bemis was also in the clique
despite the fact that he drew full sal
airy from June IA to the end of the
season while laid up. He came on this
spring after not having been asked to
report and tried to create trouble with
the youngsters at Magnetic Springs.
He was shipped to Jersey City after
the club had tried to peddIe him all
winter.
Two members of the clique still re-
main. They have read the handwrit-

other will be retained because single
handed he can do no harm and in
dividually he is too good player.

the Kaw insurgents, with only quin
tet of safe ones, put the game away

and fairly clean contest, only two err
rors being charged to each team. Ryan

today when they reach the Kansas
capital.
Gear still declines to say anything
about his pitching staff. 1t is likely.
however, that he will keep both Fugate
and Alderman for awhile, until he is
in position to get a better line on the
youngsters.
The Kaws play at Waco today.
Joe Rickert will join the team We'd
nesday of next week, having been play
ing at New Orleans since last fall.
Gear expects him to be in splendid
shape and the Kaw manager is anxi-
Gus to get his outfield together. He
has not yet had the opportunity of
doing this. One of the recruit outfiel6-
ers will likely be carried to make VI
the third man in the outer garden
when the manager isn't playing or
when one of the other outflelders is
out of the game. Hoffman and Burns
are probably the most likely candidates
for this position.
Walter Frantz will join the team at
Fort Worth Tuesday.

SHE QUIT COFFEE
And Much Good Came From 1t.

1t is hard to believe that coffee will
put a person in such a condition as it
did a woman of Apple Greek, o. She
tells her own story
Il did not believe coffee caused my
trouble. and frequently said I liked it
so well I would not quit drinking it,
even if it took my life. but / was a mis-
cradle sufferer from heart trouble and
nervous prostration for four years.
Il was scarcely able to be around at
ALL Had no energy and did not care
for anything. Was emaciated and had
q constant pain around my heart until
thought I could not endure it. I felt
as though I was liable to die any time.
Frequently 1 had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away, and any little noise would upset
me terribly I was gradually getting
worse until finally one day. it came
over me and 1 asked myself what is the
use of being sick all the time and buy
ing medicine so that 1 could indulge
myself in coffee?
so I thought I would see if / could
quit drinking coffee, and got some
Postum to help me quit. I made it
strictly according to directions and 1
want to tell you that change was the
greatest step in my life. 1t was easy to
quit coffee because 1 had the Postum
which like better than I liked the old
coffee One by one the old troubles left,
until now I am in splendid health
nerves Sleduy, ASeil Gil IlSul ana the
pain all gone. Never have any more
nervous chills, don't take any medicine,
can do all my homework and have
done a great deal besides.
My sister-in-law. who visited me this
summer. had been an invalid for some
time, much as I was. 1 got her to quit
coffee and drink Postum. She gained
five pounds in three weeks, and never
saw such a change in anyones health"

one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and fun of human

For the first time the coming ball
players of Topeka are working in or
ganized effort to develop themselves
and further the interests of the ma
tional pastime by playing out a sched-
uled series of games. The Ward

ing on a regular schedule. Beside
making themselves stronger, faster
on foot and more manly in every way,
they are developing into better play
ers. They have set an example that
other amateur organizations might
well follow. No contributions or
prizes were asked from anyone and
the hope of winning for their school
