to that creed of. all creeds, the Divine
command of the Master, "Do unto
others even so as ye would have them
do unto you' and he believed in "The
one true and' ever Living God" with
reverence but without superstition or
bigotry, and he was.opposed always
to ecclesiastical folly and despotism
and he had the courage of his convic
tions and all who knew him recognized
Mb great reading and his ability to
maintain the stand he took on any of
the great public questions of his time.
Peace be to his ashes and all honor
to his memory, and after all is said
and done the greatest and truetit to
be said is he left to his sorrowing
sons and friends and neighbors, now
gathered about Ihis bier in the silent
city of the dead to pay him their last
token of esteem and respect, that
most priceless of heritages and great
est of boons, an unsullied name, a
spotless character, ,and the realization
of the fact that in all his long", life
rectitude .of conduct, sterling and
rugged honesty, good citizenship. and
changeless, patriotism, dominated;" his
life and career and his example Siiay
well be and should be emulated' by
the youth of this time and by, the
generations of his fellows and neigh
bors yet to come.

THE COLONEL'S TRIAL, i
Colonel Roosevelt is on trial for
libel. A libel case that grew out; of '
politics. Because the Colonel talked
plainly he is now before the court.
What the outcome will be is mere
conjecture, but it brings up a point
that is very important.
One may know a Wring very well,
in fact be absolutely positive in his
own mind, yet utterance of what he be
lieves sometimes makes no end of
trouble. . It is through this desire
to keep out of trouble that many a
two-faced, hypocritical character gets
by without public censure. There is
tere-it of the public to have a spade
called a spade, or would it be better
to ever put on the soft pedal and, al
though knowing inwatfdly of corrup
tion and crime, wink the other eye in
order to preserve a peaceful attitude ?
Anyway there are plenty of "candi
dates in the Republican party for the
presidential nomination and it might
be well to have an elimination j con
test before the primaries are held; .For
this is no year for the Republicans
to make mistake. , ...
Mrs. Rockefeller leaves a million
and a half to charity, which woufd in
dicate that a lot of wealthy people are
not nearly so bad as they are painted.
Apparently to get money from a 1
regional .bank anyone living in the
Grande Ronde valley;, must have the
endorsement of one of , th valley
banks. That kind of an endorsement
will get money any time from sources
other than a regional bank. -.-At " ,.

Last Sunday's papers pictured Gov
ernor Withycombe on the ranch feed
ing the chickens, and jn that picture
was a commercial sermon, to many
people. ' Staying with the ranch Is one
of the Governors best slogans' and
there is nothing hypocritical about Ms
utterances. ' ' ,
One thing the West administration
did do. It graduated a lot of attor
neys from state house and all of . them
are locating in the city of Portland, in
cluding the ex-governor, where it is
admitted the field is excellent and at
torneys heretofore have been fewf and
far between.
Voting bonds in Multnomah county
is like shooting fish. Anyone w!ho has
ever been in the Willamette valley
during its prolonged wet. season will
not blame those people for mortgag

a hard spot to stand upon. '-r.; 0. ; ,

"We can't have a ijanic," say the
regional bankers. ; And it is echoed
and re-echoed throughout the country.
Lets see what is the correct definition
for that word panic ?
