DRAWING fEOPLE TO LA CKAXDE.
When the burden of putting up lor
celebrations of various kinds becomes
heavy stop for a moment and consider
what you are getting from' it. ..Re

The same is true of cities. You can
not bring a large number of people to
any city for a day without giving tome
Inducement, " without spending both,
energy and money. Dour it pny? Cer

, Woodrow 'Wilson, the democratic
possibility for the presidential nomi
nation, has been In Oregon and like
his friend, Col. Roosevelt, gave out
enough good advice to stock all of the
Sunday schools in the country. Good
advice Is easy to give, but the people
of the country need more actlon-and
less talk. The talker as a rule la W
a good worker. While little is said of
Taft. and today he la what might be
termed anything, but a popular man,
the fact remains that he Is a doer of
things. Accomplishing " results is
Taft'g aim while Roosevelt was
content: to talk, talk, talk. He raved
about the beef trust but did not. pur
sue it with the keenness that Taft is
using , and yet the latter is saying
nothing.
Governor Wilson may b? a combina
tion of talk and act, but such a com
bination Is rarely found. If he is a
food talker usually he Is not one to
push for results. On the other hand
If a man is a good worker he is usual
ly too modest to talk when opportu
nity offers. The governor is untried
quality. He has the profound respect
of the entire country regardless of pol
itics and in making his circle he is
meeting with the most cordial recep
tions, all of which is pleasng to every
one,.,. ;,..,v.;. .

It would be a good thing for every

position he held until 1899, when he
went to Alaska aa a gold seeker. Six
months later he returned to his old po
sition in the bank, with nothing gain

experience. In 1900 he accepted a po
sition in a bank in Astoria and remain

agent three years later. In 1907 he
was appointed a member of the Ore
