In tho Whlto House, on ovory poll tlcal Journey and on a supposedly prlvnto affair Hko a hunt In tho jungles of Africa. Every word ho utters publicly Is sweetened and ton ed for tho press. Every speech ho makes Is prepared In ndvanco "to bo held for rolcaso until dollvery Is be gun." Nor Is It mere criminals and crimes, civil actions In courts, tho Jugglery of politicians, spectacular Ism of army ofllcors and naval so- olnv innlm. flint nlnnn kow tOW to tho nross and must hnvo It as tho I animal and vcgctablo kingdoms ro quire air and water, but greater af fairs of state, tho most momentous of all public matters, national or In ternational, aro shaped and their destinies determined through this samo all-powerful agency. There Is no public question, no policy of ono or a combination of nntlons, nor re poal and repudiation of such poli cies, that can bo enacted or consum mated or done away with, against tho mighty will of tho press. It might bo added, as a matter of course, that In order to wield this colossus of power It follows that tho press must most of tho tlmo bo In tho right. Not that It- Is always In tho right, nor that ovorythlng It ac complishes Is done at tho times when It Is In tho right, but on questions where tho effect on tho public mind works tho chnnges that And their dynamic force In tho press, It must bo In tho right. If not In tho right It Is through tho Intolllgonco of tho American pcoplo In being nblo through Its publications to sco the right. From Its loftier nnd moro suhllmo powers and purposes tho press enn descend and oxert its potoncy iu things that aro most mlnuto.

Itnthor than bolng the causo ot tho commission of crlmo tho modern nowspapor Is Its greatest preventive, enys nn oxohnngo. Wero It not for tho fonr of publicity moro crime would bo committed, moro divorces would bo sought, moro men would beat their wlvos, moro paronts would mnltroat their children. Without exaggeration or uso of figures of speech, but ns a statement of fact that Is as truo ns Washing ton's monumont standing between tho Whlto Houso nnd tho Potomac river Is hlghor than othor monu ments or structures, thoro Is no power ln tho land that Is as mighty, that can compoto or copo with the power of tho press not oven the supromo court ot tho United States.

Oonornl8 can wear majostlc uni forms nnd can swell out their chests under brasB buttons as bright ns a policeman's bull's oyo lantern; they can glvo ordors to do all but bohead po'd'era and subalterns; can, as has happened, command nnd Insult re porters and "ponny-n-llnors," but whoro is thoro quo of thorn who nt one' time or another In his lifo would not grovel In tho vory dust nnd eat a llttlo of It for tho sake of get ting a shade tho host ot It In tho nowspapors or to bask In tho sun shine of a favorlto wrltor? No less a porsonago than tho only living ox-presldont, who rates himself as a soldier, kept a press agent or two or a half a dozen In his servlco every hour that' he was on tho field, that cnusod thorn to mako short work ot his political career.

In Portland, thero was much hot ting on tho outcome, (oncoming It, tho Portlnnd Tologram snys: .Dnttlnc on election was wide spread this year, but so far as can bo lonrned no trcmondously heavy wagors wero laid, In splto of the big odds givon ln tho Dowormnn-West Gubernatorial contest.

"It Is ngreod that tho biggest cleanup on tho governorship strug glo wns mndo by n cotcrlo of friends of United Stntos Senator Chamber lain. Probably $15,000 to $20,000 was gathered ln by tho West back- era who took Chamberlain's tip. Ho declared ho hadn't bet a cent him self, but It wns noised around tho Hotels, that some of It, $1,000 or so, was his own lucre. "Our Goorgo" merely smiled when so nccuscd. "Tho betting was freakish and no systom scorned to hnvo boon follow ed, further than that tho odds on Dowermnn wore hold pretty closo to 10 to 7 all tho way through.

Among those who took tho Dowdrmnn, or long end of tho ropo, wore Chnrlos Ford, of Snlom, who Is alleged to hnvo drop pod about $2,000, Dr. Charlos W.
