Uouch Josephine J. N. Hart Polk J. A. Fee Umatilla ROOSEVELT TRIUMPHANT. The most pheoomenal political victory ever achieved in this coun try was that of the Republican party, led by tint magnificent cit izen and statesman, Theodore Roosevelt. Parker is now so low ly that therd is none so poor as to do him reverence. Co-iucident with the magnificent endorsement of Republican principles in the United States is the utter annihil ation of the Democratic party. As a local Democrat observed, "it has gone up iu a balloon." There is no occasion for tears over the demise of the Republican party's ancient rival. In recent history it has stood for nothing but ob struction, culminating in 1904 to as nearly a copy of Republican principles as it could and yet leave room for fault-finding and objec tion. The only real interest at tached to the campaign just past is the development of the Socialist vote, a party which cannot at least be charged with being namby pamby, for their principles are ultia-radical and revolutionary. Just previous to his death Mark llanna said that the next great battle of the Republican party would be waged against the Social ists. In the consciousness of present great numerical strength the Re publican pirty can afford to be tolerant of all opposing opinion, eivintr it a chance to be hsrd, and overcoming il, as is our wont, by sheer force of loiric. In fact this is the better way. Tho election just past illustrates anew that the masses of onr people aie intelli gent and patriotic above any coun try on earth and that they nmy be depended upon to endorse rational ideas, conservative method aud gradaal advancement to a high plane of national prosperity. All revolutionary forces, therefore, whether Anarchistic or its oppo site, Socialistic, nny bast Ih sub dued by dispassionate reasoning. We should point out the better way, relying upon our historic achievements of the past for con firmation, and then may we con fidently trust that the ballot of a free people will always be potent enough to keep us as a nation from advancing along dangerous and untried paths. MCKV TO tVOKK. lone Proclaimer. Ab an instano of what a boy can do in this country where mos' of th t work ia done with ho 8ts and the driver Bimjily sits and drive?,' there is one boy, whom we wou'd iudtf h 12 or 14 years eld, hauling wheat into lone from the Gooseberry section, twenty-five miles, driving a six-lior-e team with to wagons and bringing about pixty packs at a load. Like the rest of the (Joose berry wheat haulers he makes a trip in two days. In some of the ea-te-n states a boy is hard'y allowed f om under hii mother's eyes until twenty years of age and is then considered a big baby. U)urb) are lucky to be living in a ! country where at ten and twelve years of auc lie c.in do a man's work and re ceive a man's wages. The Proclaimer may believe it U lucky that a boy can commence his struggle for existence at the ae of 10, but the Gnztte believes it would be far better if he went to school. There are plenty of meu who would be glad to do the boy's work, while the boy would be better fitted for his duty as a sovereign citizen when he reaches man's estate if he knew how to read and write; if his mind were not dwarfed during its most plastic state; if his euergies were not drained when he should be en joying the innocent pleasures of childhood. If we develop a stage when it is an achievement to brag of for a child to do a man's work, and a model for all other children to follow, the public school becomes correspondingly a drag upon human interests, to be discouraged by the new ambition of adjusting the work harness up on children so as to fit their little shoulders and tender limbs. Surely the Proclaimer penned that item hurriedly. Let us not rob childhood of its innocent pleasures and it time to develop for the sake of a sordid commer cialism alrtadv gone mad. Let us not invade the period of infancy at least to make work auimals of human beings before thpy are developed for suh exertions. There is a decent time for all thiugs. Let youth have its flirjg. SATIItBAY JSIUIIT'S SPEAK1!V. A Unlet Kiiditi? to the Quietest Campaign In Our IllHory. Judge J. K. Magers, of Portland, and Hon. J. P. Winter, of Tend eton, made the only campaign speeches of the sea son at the opera r.ou-e Saturday night. The hall was filled by ladies and gent'e men who gave excellent attention and were rewarded by some invincib'e logic that of the two the Republican party if the proper party for the American peo ple to continue in power. Mr. Winter covered the tar.fT issue in a searching manner, proving by aigu ment and supporting by historic fact that a 1 of our periods ct hi.-h prosper ity were during the periods of high pro tective tariff and that all of our periods of groat depression no Ions than five were during free trdn ivriods. Mr. Winter urged a Till vote, regardless of p-irtv, being possessed of becoming civic pride in his s'ate. ludje Magers made the principal address of the ev.-ning. It was not long before the audience became aware that e has been a close student of political affairs He understands the reasons why party policies lead to certain re sults, and he is fortified by an accurate knowledge of those results as thev have developed. He showed that the Re publican party is a party who does things, a live party, and a pa'ty abreast of the times as opportunities demand action. Not forgetting to credit the party with its glorious achievements of the past, he cited what the party is doing today, some of these being telephone mail delivery, following special delivery and free rural delivery of the mails. The Panama canal, now well under way, Is another glorions achievement, benefitting not only the peop'e of our own land but the civilized worl I. lie prophesied that our future markets must be in the Orient and looked for a glorious deve'opment ot the Pacific Coast. Not a word of Jude Magei's interesting address, covering perhaps an hour, was lost by the andience. There was lit'l cheering, but unusual attention, which goes to show that our people are emerging from a careless and purely partisan citizenship to a body of thinkers and reasonere. The iazette welcomes the change, and believes that in the passing f the torchlight proces sion and the whoop and hu'rah of o'd fashioned campaigns we have nothing to bemoan. We are becoming old enough as a nation to be more staid, mnre dignified and more decor.' u in our expression of political opinions. COWH'JV'S IMT'l'i.K W'liU A Tlirilliiitf Kvcnt Taken IMace He forc a l,artf('t riivtlat THe) en lie. The great event at Cheyenne this year was the remarkable feat of Will Pickett, a negro hailing from Tnylor, Texas, who gave his exhibition while 20,000 people watched with worder and admira tion a mere man, unaimed aud without a device or appliance of any kind, attack a fiery, wild-eyed and powerful steer, and throw it by his teeth. With the aid of a helper, Pickett chased the steer until he was in front of the grand, staud. Then he jumped from the saddle and landed on the back of the animal, grasped its home, and brought it to a stop within a dozen feet. With a remarkable display of strength he twisted the steer's head until its nose pointed straight into the air, the animal bellowing with pain and its tongue protruding in its effort to secure air. Again and again the negro was jerked from his feet and toss ed into the air, but his grip on the horns never once loosened, nnd the steer failed in its efforts to gore him. Cowboys with their lariats rushed to Tickett's asist'uice, but the action of the combat was too rapid for them. B.foe help could be given, Pickett, who bad forced the steer's nose into the mnd and shut off its wind, slipped, and was tossed aside like a piece of paper. There was a scattering of cowboys as he jumped to his feet and ran for his horse. Taking the saddle without touching the stirrup, he ran the steer to a point opposite the judge's stand, again jumped on its back, and threw it. Twice was the negro lifted from his feet but be held on with the tenacity of a bulldog. Suddenly Pickett dtop ped the steer's head and grasped the upper lip of the animal with his teeth, threw his arms wide apart, to show that he was not us ing his hands, and sank slowly up on his back. The steer lost its footing and rolled upon its back, completely covering the negro's body with its own. The crowd was speechless with horror, many believing that the negro had been crushed; but a second later the steer rolled to its other side, and Pickett arose uninjured, bowing and moiling Johu Dicks Howe, iu Harper's Weekly. Violent Heatli Was Predicted. Eight years ago, in writing a horoscope of Seymour Swauger, who met such a horrible death under the wheels of an O. R. & N. train near Bingham Springs Satur day morning, Dr. C. T. Taylor, of Kamela, predicted that Swaugei would meet with a violent death before he was 50 years of age. Taylor was an O. R. & N. agent at Kamela for nine years, and was au astrologer of more than local repu tation, and wrote horoscopes for nearly everybody on the Blue mountains. From the Btudy of Swaugei's stars and from the date and time of bis birth, Taylor said that he was sure to meet such a death and that it woujd come before the man had reached 50 years of age. Swauger took the matter as an idle fancy and often spoke of it; but it is said that on the strength of this horoscope he took out 'J000 life insurance and kept it paid up regularly until the time of his death.
