The letter published in The Ore gonfan yesterday signed "One Voter, well illustrates Bull Moose logic and consistency, and the propensity every man who has Teddy on the brain to see nothing that is not visible through the blue spectacles of the Bull Mooser. He has discovered that Teddy "does things." How much did he do in his two terms as President towards revls lng the tariff? Will he look over the list of Teddy's achievements in seven and one-half years, as compiled by his campaigners, ana recently published, and compare them, item by item, with me oniciai record of Taf t s achieve ments ln less than three years, and ex plain which one of the two Is the real doer of things, and which one- is the "Big Noise?" He tells us that Teddy would have had the "moral stamina" to have vetoed the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. Would he? How does he know? It has been less than a month since Teddy de clared: "I am not sure that the tariff is partly responsible for the high cost or living. As far as I can see the greatest Increases have been in the cost or eggs, milk and meat. Mono poly Is not to blame, ln mv ODlnion for the increase in any of these except meats. It the tariff should be removed from the necessities of life by the Democrat the farmer would be th most affected." And he continues in language that Indicates him to be any tmng Dut a tariff reformer. In September, , 1910. in various speeches he repeatedly, declared that the Payne-Aldrich law was a better tariff law than either the Dingle law or the McKinley law. In a signed editorial in the Outlook, on September 17, 1810, he declared the same thins. Believing this, he would have vetoed the Payne-Aldrich bill, would he? "One Voter" also thinks it an out rage that 100,000 voters in Callforni who preferred Taft and La Follette to Roosevelt, should have been allowed even two delegates out of 26. eve though Taft carried the district from which the two delegates were allowed him. He has nothing to say about the eight delegates at large from Massa chusetts which were stolen by Roose velt. This Is a sample of the Bull Moose idea of political honesty, and justice and purity. One Voter" would also settle the contested seats ln the National con vention by barring from any voice in the convention those delegates whose seats were contested. Out of 238 con tests ' Instituted by Roosevelt, th Roosevelt committeemen themselves admitted over two-thirds were bogus. Bull Moose honesty, however, requires that those whose seats were contested by these bogus contestants should be barred from taking part ln organizing the convention. Such a code of polltl cal morals Is what might be expected from a party which proposes to fight the interests" of Wall street under the leadership of Perkins and Munsey and Dupont and Gary, and which pro poses to put an end to machine bosses under the leadership of BUI Fllnn and Tim woodruff and Dan Hanna, In this state we have had a Bull Moose convention ln which there was larger percentage of office-holders ex-office-holders, office-seekers and defeated candidates, than ln almost any other convention ever held ln the state, The chairman of the convention. few years ago, as a member of the Legislature, expressly repudiated State ment No. 1 and refused to vote for the people's choice for IT. S. Senator. The convention boss, who Is one of their delegates to the convention at Chicago, has been publicly charged with having assisted Ormsby McHarg, Roosevelt's contest manager, ln his at tempts to get members of the Oregon Legislature to repudiate their State raent No. 1 pledge, after they had been elected on that issue. Another member of the convention is an ex-Federal office-holder, whose re appointment was defeated by Senator Bourne because he was an enemy of the Oregon system and an assistant of McHarg. Another delegate to their National convention Is a defeated candidate for National Republican committeeman, who made a bitter fight on Jonathan Bourne in the recent campaign. Another delegate to their National convention was one of the hold-up members of the Legislature of 1897. Three members of the local conven tion were defeated candidates for Jus- tlec of the Peace in the late Republl can primaries, and defeated candidates for the Legislature and other offices were in evidence all over the hall. It was a convention whose personnel was ot superior ln any respect to any of the old-time conventions. In the face of the situation as thus presented, it would appear that the time has come for a distinct separation of the sheep from the goats. The Roosevelt party in Oregon up to date a a bobtailed party and a large number of its members want it so to remain They don't want a distinct third party ticket for fear they may lose votes by it. This is putting their campaign on high moral plane. They want to teal in with a few of the offices under the Republican label. A few so-called Republican candidates want to catch Roosevelt votes by playing the same game, and their "dignity" Is hurt by the "impertinence" of the Republican committee in asking that they come out from under cover. This old-time subterranean political game is out of date. A vicious and ut terly malignant war is being made on the Republican organization and the National Administration. Republican voters have a right to know where Re publican candidates stand ana they in- end to know. under present con ditions we have no political offices to vote upon except members of Congress and President and partisan politics count for less than ever before, but Taft men and Roosevelt men and La Follette men all are interested ln knowing whether their candidates have the courage to come out in the open, or whether they intend to go through the campaign skulking under cover. If Republican voters and Republican com mitteemen cannot smoke them out, we may depend that the Democratic can didates will do so before the campaign is over. "ANOTHER VOTER." Clearing: Judicial Atntoaphere. DUNDEE, Or.. Aug. 6. (To the Ed itor.) In the language of the late Sen ator Nesmith, whose memory is cher rished by the old pioneers, "I snatch a few moments from my labor at the plow while my team is resting at the end of the furrow," to remark that if more of our judges would speak up like Judge McGinn did ln discussing the Goodeve Juror case, there would be little necessity for the recall of judges. If our judges would let the plain people know Just why no case Is ever settled when either of the litigants has the mqneyand the desire to carry it on and up, it would tend to clear the Judicial atmosphere. We can't expect the lawyers to desire a rinai veraict, as the more rain the more grass. J. M. CRAWFORD. Lay of the Lady Barber By Dean Collin.
