HULL MOOSK KKIXIXTIONS.
The atuunpted browbeating of the
Chicago convention, the diurnal fail
ure of tbat attempt and the forma
tion of the new party, known as tw.
Progressive pary, but In reality the
party of Roosevelt, are events that
are bHU froHh In the memory of t he
public. What this movement means,
and where lu It going to take the
American people 1h wholly specula
tion and only shrewd guesses can be
advanced. Yet those wlio are In a
position to follow the trend of pub
lic affafra and whose knowledge of
the leaders of the nation make them
well able to reflect with more or less
certainty say that the party has been
born in blttoru;ss and like all move
ments of this Inception must ulti
mately fall,
In order for a movement to gain
influence and respectlblllty It must
show some reason for Its existence to
those whom It hopes to Interest and
have Join with It. In departing from
tho party that had repeatedly honor
ed him and placed him at the head of
this nation, Mr. Itnosovelt made
what ho called a "declaration of
faith," in which he sought to give
public expression to hi) views on
various subjects. With the excep
tion of simplified spelling a former
hobby of tho ex-prcHldont and race
suicide, tho Colonel covered about
the entire range of human though
and gave his version of how the dif
ferent phases of life should be dealt
with.
At this time we want to coll at
tention to the leading Dull Moose's
view of the recall.
We venture to assert that seventy
' flvo per cent of tho people of the state
of Oregon are believers lu the recall
of judges as a principle. There are
those who favor n limitation not on
the Idea, but on Uh operation. Hut
the big majority are In favor of this
cudgel In their hands to act as a
BaTcty value on Judges who other
wise might abuse their office. The
lieoplo of this statu had adopted this
recall of Judges several years before
Colonel Roosevelt announced his de
termination to seek tho presidency
for a third term. Tho recall is a
. progressive measure brought aboui
through tho popular unrest and the
growing belief at that time that the
Judiciary was corrupt. That the peo
ple In this respect wore wrong Is
ovldoncod by tho fact that In thin
Htato not a judge has been recalled
ttlnce tho law has been on the statute
hooks, and the further fact that In
tho only enso wherein the recall was
attempted to he Invoked the Intend-,
ed proceeding proved a dead Issue
and mot with repudiation even at the
hands of Its sponsors. The people
do not care as a rule to Invoke the
recall; they are contented to know
that If they so desiro they have the
right to use It. Firm In their faith
that the recall was right In principle
and founded on a logical basis the
adherents and followers of Roose
velt have either discarded the recall
ovor night or are Inconsistent In
.their blind devotion to the creed of
their lender. Read what tho ex
presldent said In his speech at Chi
cago two wecM ngo yesterday in J
regard to the recall: "Means should j
lio devised for making It oasler than i
at present to get rid of an incompe-j
tent Judge; means should bo devised!
by the bench and the bar acting lu
conjunction with the various legisla
tive bodies to make justice far more!
expeditions and more certain than
at present. . . . Hut this Is not the ;
matter of most concern nt this mo- j
ment. Our prime concern Is that
In dealing with the fundamental Inw!
of the land. In assuming finally to
interpret It, and therefore finally to I
make It, the acts of the courts should
bo subject to and not above the final;
.'control of tho people as a whole.",
and then he goes furwanl with his ex
pansion of his reasons for tho recall
of judicial decisions. Instead of the
recall of Judges who are derelict In
tholr duty to the public. Roosevelt
1b silent on the recall. He simply'
says that some "means should he de
vised to make it easier to get rid of
en Inoompetent Judge." but he of
fer no solution of tho problem nor
does he endorse or sanction the re
call which has been adopted In many
of the states ot the union. He jumps
clear over this question and advances'
a. fantlBtlcal theory thnt is absurd on
Its face and which tho American peo
ple an a whole will repudiate If the
question la ever put up to them for
serious consideration. m What of the
Oregon Bull Moose? Does he pro
pose to go back to tho recall and,
"recall" It uh an obsolete weapon, or
will he take the inconsistent position
of trying to support Roosevelt and
the recall of Judicial decisions and1
at the same time uphold the recall
of Judges? Can he take either one of
these positions and still be consist
ent? There is no middle ground. He
must adhere to, or adopt one or the
other and In doing so he must place
hi in self In a dilemma from which
there is no escape.
The Dull Mooso local leaders every
where are actuated more through
selfish and personal motives than
through any high desire to carry out
the principles Involved lu tho con
fession of faith made by Roosevelt,
which, stripped of their verbiage,
are nothing more than ordinary,
everyday principles' of honesty arid
decency that every American citizen
has adhered to since the day when
tie was able to think for himself and
be master of his own mind.
True It Is that Roosevelt has di
gressed In his confessions and has
uttered new, untried theories that aj
peal in their Imaginative form bet
ter and more satisfactory to bis fol
lowers than those institutions that
they seek to replace. The rank and
Hie of the Roosevelt foiloweds are ac
tuated In tho 1 1 support of the ex
president through tholr high regard
for him ns a man and their coneep-,
tlon of him as a leader. They differ
from the local leaders everywhere In
this respect because the latter are
seeking that which they could not
hope to attain within the councils of
either of the two older parties And
It Is for this reason that the cause of
the Hull Moose party as a local Injec
tion into the state and county fights
must fall. As a local affair the Dull
Mooso organization has gathered no
strength and a county ticket placed
in the field here Is doomed from the
outset to defeat.
