Is there any good to be accomplished by the persistent abuse of every distin guished Republican who aspires to the presidential nomination? It is just possible that Mr. Booeevelt may keep bis word and refuse to permit his name to go before the next Republican national convention. Certain distinguished Re publicans have, relying upon his prom ise, become avowed candidates for that honor, and if the President has changed his mind, and, like Ceasar of old, is in' sincere in patting the crown away from him, it is high time ne revoked his promise and declared that the fotce of circumstances is more than he can re- sift. If it be true that there is only one man in the country in whom the people will place their confidence, then, indeed, the nation is in bad straits and it is high time for the "man on horseback to put in a second appearance. The same kind of talk was in vogue when Grant aspired to a third term, but the nation managed to exist without him. There is another man in whom several million of American voters have the most implicit confidence. Bryan has lost none of his strength and, and there is no reason to believe Mr. Roosevelt could win any great percentage of votes from him in any of the States necessary for Republican success. The President favors government control of the rail roads, Mr. Bryan goes him one better and favors government ownership. Mr. Rooosevelt favors the ship subsidy bill, and we can not understand bow the Oregonian fails to denounce him as a grafter for so doing. Mr, Bryan opposes the ship subsidy, and no doubt will make this one of the prominent issues of the next campaign. Taking it for grauted that Bryan will be the Dem ocratic nominee, is Roosevelt the man most likely to win out against him? Republican success is more important than the succes of any individual. If this be true, then the idolaters are not doing good service to their party when they attack the character of those whom Mr. Roosevelt, by his persistent assertion that he would not be a candidate, has ta couraged to enter the field. It is a long time until the Republican national con vention, and the political situation is kaleidoscopic. The man of today may easily be naavailable at the close of another year, and in the meantime the field is open. There is no need for hjelencs, and so sedate and reliable a paper as the Oregonian should be ashamed of the yellow politics it is now practicing. It will be lemembered that the Mist agreed with the Oregonian in its posi tion at the time the referendum was in voked on the general appropriation bill, and we agree with it now. The ,m oph want the State University to be lib r ally supoorted, and they will certnii.ly defeat the referendum if it is iuvok-d There can be no good accomplished I y the proposed step, and, ultimately, it will bring discredit upon the Grange. The leaders in granges are uo more In fallible than other leaders, and wl.cn they are in the wrong their acii n should not bind the individual inmbti of the order. A true spirit of liidqwn dence will lead us to be very slow about signing petitions merely because they are indorsed by certain leaders. Every failure is destructive of the influence tbe Grange should have In the affairs of the State, The referendum should not COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS. j SUAHMXhSE. I KKL KSTATK THAJiSrtltS. The newly org.tnlml commercial club held a meeting in the court house last Monday evening Following are the wetaiy'a uilnu'esof the meeting. Old Court House, St. Helens, Or.

At the Lewis and Clark exposition Columbia County took the gold medal for the best exhibit of nnthiesbed grains and grasses. Our displav was better (though not large) than that of any of the great agricultural counties of the State. Select your fruit early in the season.

What newspapers or Individuals may think of the amount of the university appropriation, or the form of the bill in whi. h it is carried, is now of secondary inipjitunee. Because some do not like it is no reiiHon why they should strike blindly at it when they can hope to do nothing better than hurt the-nselves and the univeoitr. If it be granted for the sake of argument that the impropri ation was a few thousand dollars loo huh, tin re is still uo reason why the referendum should be invoked, fur we would ultimately pay tin monev, with interest, and have the university bum pered ami discredited in the meantime.
