COMPARE THE TWO.

Especial privilege was in force
prior to 1909, the Interests were
dominant and the "peepul' were get
ting it good and hard, yet did The
odore Roosevelt advocate any policy
calculated to eliminate the two form
er, or relieve the latter? If he is so
interested in what he calls a gov
ernment, of, by, and for the people, "
why didn't he exploit some of his
ideas when he had the opportunity?
Did he ever send a message to con-
gress advocating and insisting upon
a revision of the tariff downward? p?
President Taft did. Did Roosevelt
ever advocate the formation of a nom
partisan tariff board to scientifically
adjust the schedules? President
Taft did, and Roosevelt placed
in his Progressive" platform a
plank favoring it. Did President
Taft ever give the immunity bath to
a railroad president who confessed to
paying rebates? Roosevelt did
when he exonerated Paul Morton Of
the Santa F'e, and afterward, at the
request of Thomas f.. Ryan, recon-
mended that the same Paul Morton
be made president of the Equitable
Life Insurance company at salary
of $4,000 per year. Did President
Taft ever send message to Con-
gress advocating that full citizenship
be granted to the japanese? Roose-
Welt did, in 1906, and you remember
what howl went up about it. Did
President Taft ever withdraw a suit
which the government had started
against a trust? Roosevelt did, at
the request of George w, Perkins,
when he directed his attorney general
to withdraw all legal action against
the International Harvester COM
panY.
The Observer could go on indefin-
itely, citing instances like the above.
But these are sufficient They show
that, when we get away from the
partisan prejudice, and view the oc-
currences of the past 10 years, the
cold, hard facts, as history has re-
corded them, we find no basis upon
which to build a fabric Of argument
for the reelection of Theodore
Roosevelt for a third term. That is
a good deal that he is asking of us,
anyway. He wants us to break away
from established custom. He wants
us to overthrow a Just doctrine
which has been in force in this coun-
try since first the flag of freedom
kissed the breeze in 1777, and which
was promulgated and enforced in
order to save the nation from Diaz-
alton.
They show too, that the admins
tratiOn of President Taft has been |
one of the most beneficial this coun- |
try has ever experienced. A study of |
what has been accomplished will con-
vince any unprejudiced mind that |
this is true During Mr.. Taft's reg
ime continual and successful fight
has been waged against all combi-
nations in restraint of trade, some
thing that was not done, nor even at
tempted, under the administration of
his predecessor.
These are facts-why not investi-
gate and endorse our present pros
perity by supporting the party and
the principles that has made it pos
slble before allowing ourselves to be
carried away by personal appeals to

owing to indifference and even
opposition to the enterprise, it was
found impossible to raise $4,000
bonus to secure the permanent loca-
ton in Salem of the stove factory
which has heretofore been located at
the state penitentary. SO this big
institution will go elsewhere and
spend huge sums for wages for the
benefit of some other community
The Observer supposed that Salem
had outgrown the old policy which
for years prevented the city's ad-
vancement and permitted more pro-
gressive Oregon communities to out
grow it. The city has given evidence
of late of an awakening, but when
it Is found impossible to raise
small bonus for a large factory, there
is evidence that the conservatism
still has an abiding place in the
hearts of the people.

Democratic newspapers and poll
ticians have a great deal to say in
commendation of Senator LaFol-
lette's progressiveness. State Senator
Miller, one of the speakers at the
Lane meeting in Dallas Friday night,
devoted a large share of his speech
to laudation of the Wisconsin sena-
tor. The reason for all this fulsome
hattery isn't hard to find. The Will
son men hope to secure the vote of
the LaF'ollette following in this state
for their candidate. But they seem
to forget that Senator LaFollette is
remaining true to his party and has
urged his friends to do likewise. He
is supporting President Taft in this
campaign, declaring that the only
way to secure the triumph of Pro-
gressive principles is to work out the
problem within the ranks of the
party. And LaFollette is stronger
today than he has ever been. Orig
inally the first progressive" his
course has been vastly more honor
able than that of the usurping
bolter.

Portland and Vancouver ought to
