Republicans, and even supporters of President Taft, cannot afford to underestimate the Roosevelt element of strength. When Roosevelt became president, not since the days of Lin coln, has there been a an aggressive, outspoken labor president. Many common laborers were not getting over ninety cent3 a day for ten hours' work, and carried rather slim dinner pails. ' Since Roosevelt's day wages for common labor have gone up to two dollars and two and a half a day. We are speaking now of common labor unorganized labor the man at the bottom of the ladder of industry. When it comes to being a progressive Roosevelt is the original and only progressive to be considered. All the rest are imitators or minor performers, and why not take our progressiveism at the fountain head? All over the nation there is a movement towards Roosevelt, and the movement h unsolicited by its recipient. Would it not be a great step in advance if the people for once arose in their might and handed the presidency to a man who is not chasing it with literary bureaus and organizations? In Oregon there is no concerted Roosevelt movement in any p litical sense. There is a feeling that under the new Oregon system the peo ple should be permitted to choose. How can they express themselves if all the men who are in the presidential class are not on the ticket? Fair play and good judgment in the interest of the Republican party demands that no one be debarred from expressing his choice. So petitions have been gotten out, and they will be voluntarily signed, and Roosevelt supporters given place. "ome La Follette men and some Taft men are impatient to have Rooseelt sentiment suppressed in the interest of their can didates. But that is not good political tactics, and it will be far better for all good-naturedly to allow onrh other some freedom. The progressive town of Hood River bought out the private corporation operating the water plant there, and the fire and water committee there report after three months public owner ship a net profit to the city of $1648.95, or at the rate of nearly ten thousand dollars a year, based on the estimated growth of the city. The people of Salem voted to buy the water plant and au thorized a bond issue and created a water commission. But the water commission was never called together, and the bill, when it was passed by the council to purchase the plant, was vetoed by the mayor. In his veto message the mayor intimated that it might be desirable to acquire the water plant, but favored post ponement. The best business men in the city all favored pur chasing the plant at the reduced price, and the city would have had an income from it of at least thirty thousand dollars a year, without spending a dollar on a filter system. The city has lost its opportunity to purchase at the original price. The men who favored progress were right, and the city has lost its opportunity to get hold of a profitable public utility. The water corporation has become an interstate corporation that, when it is sued, will have to be sued in the federal courts. As the city lost its oppor tunity to get Fairmount Park, and to get the North Mill creek water power, bo it lost the water plant. TO WEAR GOWNS OR NOT TO WEAR TROUSERS. This is a great issue in one of the colleges of Oregon and a farmers' college at that. A few years ago, in imitation of the universities, the farmers' college put their graduating class in gowns. That is the male part wore gowns we suppose they had on trousers under their dresses, skirts outside the pants. Now a hot class fight has sprung up whether the Aggies for 1912 shall gown or not gown when they get their diplomas. We are glad to see Col. McFadden, of Corvallis, fighting the male skirt-wearing business for the farmer graduates. Better put them in overalls and blouse, with a few callouses on their hands than this ladedah medevial gowning. At Eugene the student body of the university is all torn up be cause a college paper has come out against full dress. Some of the daughters of the millionaires and official plutoc racy have taken to wearing ball dresses at "informals." This puts the daughters of the ordinary grocer, country real estate man or county official up against it. The girl who goes there with only one party dress can't wear It informally, and have anything for special occasions. It may take an action of the legislature to settle this great is Bue in higher educational circles and restore the "statu quo." What have the young society ladies to show at the university if they can't show their fair shoulders and a yard or two of a train' This whole matter indicates the absence of serious purpose in life and a tendency to imitate degenerate idlers on the part of Borne who are receiving a state-aided education. o . The good work done by public-spirited Salemites to make it possible for the Illihee club to- have its own home, and for the Llka to erect a fine building on their corner ought to be appreci ated even by hose who do not subscribe to the funds. The invest ment will be i just aa good as the investment in the Odd Fellows' block, the Masonic temple or the U. S. national bank building. Let Salem keep a stiff upper lip and forge ahead on conserva tive lines, and this will always be a good town to live in.

Jan. 22.-Dr. Harry WphBtr. who murdered his second wife- when threatened with arrest for bigamy was sentenced by Judge Far rand to life Imprisonment at Jollet prison. In view of the plea made by counsel for the defense the Judge said he would not sentence the prisoner to death but would inflict "an even greater punishment," In pronouncing sentence, then the court recited the circumstances of the case and then denounced Webster and painted a gloomy word picture of the long years to be spent in prison. But Webster signed In obvious re lief as he heard the words that sent him to prison for life, but saved him from execution. o ACCUSED OF TRYING TO BURN HOUSE fkitid fix a uiaio wru. San Francisco, Jan. '11. Mrs. Sam uel Rouda, wife of a prominent tailor here, is under arrest today, charged by Fire Marshal Towe with attempts to destroy the three-story flat in which she lives.
