AH right mtint il women want iM -work done, but tl ey differ ns to the method. Tho suffragist think th. ballot the panacen for till the ills of society. The anti-suffragist believe that the constant and effective in tin -ence now exerted by women on l-;iL. latlon and public affairs Is due to the character and Intelligence of the wo iu tn who advocate good laua.'s. A woman now Interested In a matter o. public welfare is known to be unsel fish and to have only the Interest of her cans.? at heart. The same woi.iaa under woman suffrage is only ono of many political units, with Ignorent and indifferent woman voters ndded to the other elements arrayed against u:r success. A few women today are idealizing the ballot, while what will really solve Juvenile delinquency, Intemperance, tho white slave traffic, and the social (vil, la education, education and more education in the homes and from the earliest hour of ihl'dhood, and there In lies the civic duty of women, big per than the casting of any ballot and absorbing enough to occupy all th3 women of Oregon for all time. It is to keep the women of this state out of the "political game" and leave them five for this greatest of all their duties that we ask you to Tote against the woman suffrage aunndment at the coming election.

FRANCIS JAMK3 BAIEY, President. ;rr-' uxx3xssxssitstus.i re KrtnzxarsssEarvz: NATIONAL TICKET For President Theodore Roosevelt s For Vice President Mivnm Tnhnznn THE RIGHTEOUS ROOSEVELT (Atlanta Constitution.) Mr. Roosevelt will stand out, as intlmaUd by the Washington Post as a president hi tuuny, respects unprecedented. His achievement is not marred by one broken pledge. Ills biographers, to daU-, are un able to find a single Instance In which he employed wild promises to smooth his pathway to office. Always he has striven at genuine evils and sought to effect gamine reforms. No conscious or Inad vertent hypocrisy cumbers his good name or shadows his political future. As much, sadly, cannot be said for some dozens of demagogues, who, as the Post sallently points out, have left a trail of ruin in their wako by attempting to Imitate Roosevelt, but with cheapness and wretched Judgment and palpable Insincerity. Roosevelt goes back to private life, a man honored and respected and acclaimed by all civilization. Without Roosevelt's acumen or honesty, they endeavored to emulate his methods and h's success. They had sufficient common shrewd mss to sense the marvelous manner In which his brand of righteous ness had laid hold on the popular hear'. Lacking his sincerity, lack ing his grasp of details and generalities, lacking his supreme good sense and his cardinal honesty, they gave tndless promissory notes to be redeemed in Impossible performances.

LA GRANDE VISITORS WEKE NOT AUTHORIZED President Taft I)uCs Not Indorse the Work of Ilarlnn and Rede Who B Spoke Here, It will be remembered that when Theodore Roosevelt was here dur ing the fair a special train conveying Harlan and Bede followed and these gentlemen talked on the street following Roosevelt's speech. The matter was dropped there until the last few days when President I Taft has taken the matter up and had Mr. Hilles, his campaign man ager, issue the following leiter: To Theodore Roosevelt: President Taft has instructed me to inform you that under no cir cumstances will he allow those who campaign In his behalf to in dulge in false accusation conLirnlng your personal morals, temper ance or probity. He begs me to say that he has telegraphed today to J. Adam Bede and John Marshall Harlan, the short-weight son of the late lamented and honored Justice of the supreme court, to cease their campaign of abuse on the stump. Further than this he desires at this late date, but in some Ming manner, to acknowledge that your statement In regard to accepting another term was made by you on ly when It was necessary on that occasion to insure Mr. Taft's nomi nation in 190S. The presidnet believes that he has been lll-advl3d during his administration by Crane, Guggenheim, Aldrich, Cannon and Barnes, ad that there can be no hope of his success unless he takes the reins In his hands and acts according to his own natural, honorable Inclinations.
