AH right mtint il women want iM -work

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,

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.

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.

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.
