HU THE PEOPLE ARE FOB T. R
t of the best things we hare seen
nriative to the present strength of
evelt is a communication from
Watson of Coos Bay to tbe
Oregonlan. it is worth reprinting
tame we give it below:
Mr. Roosevelt has done more for
tha uplift of good ' citizenship, com-
bonesty aud common decency
any thousand men alive. That
Dm baa made mistakes we do not deny,
tt is human to err. There is only one
fihas of men who don't make mistakes
they are found In the cemetery.
Siva people, people who do things, ail
smke mistakes. Mr. Roosevelt does
kings, therefore be Is sometimes lu
seror, but he gets there, Eli. That la
aai we like. We have the best gov
aaament on earth by all odds, but
Mere are some things that seem badly
a need of fixing. We need some-
m to look Into the matter. We want
amebody to do something. When the
noose lu afire we can't wait to philo
sophize. We are obliged to get busy
at once. It la better to make a stab
mt it and do the wrong thing than do
nothing. We want less of the "Judl-

"We want less talk and more wool '
and that is what we are going after, if
It takes the' last button off Gabe's
coat. We believe we know what Is
the matter with us; anyway. It is not
worth. while for. .the bell bucks to
back up. We would like to have theai
go aloug for old acquaintance sake,
but if they are ndt we are going any
way. ! ' ' , . . '' '. '
.' We don't claim ouf candidate tp be
a star at pink' teas, nor that- be Is a
"bully good fellow,'' (n the general
acceptation of the term; but T. K. Is
the boy that knocks down the per
simmons. Things-are always doing
lu the vicinity of that lad, from the
jrise of the curtain to the last encore.
He is always goin some, as long as
we are busy on the job we are safe.
As long as. we are earnestly try lag
' to get there, never mind about the
' roundabout way, the mishaps and the
I folks, the let-well-enough-alone folks,
The danger lies with the satisfied
filka.tbe let-well-enough-alone folks,
the folks with the "judicial tempera
ment," who believe In never doing to
day that which may be put off until
tomorrow. They are the people to
fear, and not those who are earnestly
and sincerely , striving for better
things. Insurgency Is not dead in
fact it is very much alive. The doc
tors were mistaken in their diagnosis.
Tbe anti-vaccine didn't take; they
bad tbe wrongs dope. It would seem
tbe scientists didn't figure that the
ballot of a hodcarrler occupies as
much space in the ballot box as one
of the Lord's annointed.
Let us not worry about these poli
tical rows. They are the finest things
that have happened lately. In our
anger we are telling things. We are
opening wide tbe stinkpots. We now
know who stole the jam and who
struck Billy Patterson. We see our
selves as others see us. In the end
we won't be quite so handsome but
we will know more. Wrongdoing Is a
fungus that speedily withers when
brought to light. By all means turn
on the, calcium and let the band play
on "
If It is true that an American has
been arrested in London for throw
ing away money on the streets, will
they please deport him?
if T. K. has really only just got
started, .the English language is ' go
ing to fall him before he gets through.
Chicago packers say that the Sher
man anti-trust law is vague, but so
are many of the varieties of canned
goods foisted upon us under mrious
Latin and manufactured names.
