If, as some claim, President Roosevelt ia a platform in himself, it in well tlint all people should know what port of a man lie is. Much has been written of him in the last three years, but porhais hie character and achievements have never been summoucd up more felicitously than in the following: "No other m m ever rose from police commission to president of the United States in less than live years. No other so vigorously and so successfully turned stumbling blocks into stepping stones. Theo dore Roosevelt entered politics as a reformer as soon aa he had left college, and made a reputation at the very start for public spirit, honesty, combativeness and un shakeable physical and moral courage. He made enemies at every step, and even- enemy made him 10 friends. The hoy as semblymen forced a hostile legisla ture to condemn its own political allies. The young civil service commissioner boldly challenged the national leaders of his party and compelled them to observe the law. The police commissioner trampled ruthlessly over all the prejudices of a cosmopolitan com munity, whether they represented the vicious instincts of a criminal fraction or the innocent desires of the liberty loving majority. The assistant secretary of the navy thrust a rude hand into the coils of red tape that swathed the de partment and cleared the way for the commanders that smashed the fleets of Spain. The governor of New York accepted the hostility of the public service corporations by Bigning the Ford franchise tax bill. The president of the United States challenged Wall street by forcing a settlement of the anthracite strike and ordering the dissolution of the Northern Securities merger. He sacrificed his popularity in the south rather than 'shut the door of hope' in the face of the negro. He Becured the partial fulfilment of our pledge of Cuban reciprocity. He ended the half century period of talk about the Panama canal, and brought on a period of action. He insisted on probing the frauds of the postal service in the face of the anger of his party leaders," This was not taken from a standard biography; it was not prepared as a campaign document; it is not from a republican speech; it is not the utterance of a person- al friend. It is merely the est ,p , ; , 1 mate of Roosevelt as given by the New York World, one of the lead ing democratic journals of the United States. THE "STANDARD'S" CODE. The stupendous hold which the Standard Oil company has secured upon the financial bulwarks of the country, and which is partially accounted for by that trust's manipulation of the copper amal gamation, a Standard Oil product, is the basis upon which Thomas W. Lawson has founded his story of "Frenzied Finance," a serial now running in Everybody's magazine. The author shows clearly how the members of the company have become the great est financial monarchs in the history of the country, and the ollowing is a code of epigram matic rules which, while making the Standard people the controll ers of billions, might, in a sense, 1 applicable to other lineB of business: 1. Keep your mouth closed, as Bilence is golden, and gold is what we exist for. j 2. Collect our debts today. I'uy the other fellow's debts tomorrow. Today is always here, tomorrow may never come. 3. Conduct all our business so that the buyer and the seller must 1 come to us. Keep the seller wait-! ing; the longer he waits the less he'll take. Hurry the buyer, as J1.8 nioney brings us interest. 4. Make all the profitable bar gains in the name of "Standard Oil," debatable ones in the names PUBLISHED BY THE JOURNAL PUBLISHING CO. Tliilnslny Hi Tin Jeurnal lUiiMilift, 1'rtmivllle, Oipkuii. PAPER OF CROOK of dummies. "Standard Oil" never goes hack on a bargain. fl. Never put "Standard Oil" trades in writing, as your memory and the other fellow's forgctfulliess will always lie re-enforced with our organization. Never forget our legal department is paid by the war, and our land is full of courts and judges. li. As competition is the life of trade, our trade, and monoply the death of trade, our coinjietitors, employ both judiciously. 7. Never enter into a ' butting" contest w ith the government. Our government is by the people, and (or the people, and we are the people, and those who are not us can bo hired by us. 8. Always do right. Right makes might, might makes dollars, dollars makes right and we have! the dollars. A Missouri editor announced that just for one issue he would tell the truth. Here are a few items from that issue. "John Bonin. the laziest mer chant in town made a trip to Bell- view yesterday. John Dovle, our grocervman, is doing a poor busi-i, . ' . ,. ! , . ness. His -!ore is dirt v, dusty. and notoriously odoriferous. How can he eipect to do much? Rev. Styi preached Sunday night on "Charity." The senium was punk. If the reverend gentleman would live up a little closer to what he preaches he would have bigger congregations. Dave Sonkey died at his home in this place Saturday. The doctor gave it out as heart iaiiure, The fact is that he was drunk and whiskey is what killed ; him. His home was a rented shack in Roudy street. Married Miss Sylvia Rhoden and Jame? Canahan, last Saturday evening, at the Baptist parsonage. The bride is a very ordinary town girl, who doesn't know any more about , cooking than a rabbit, and never I helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty, by any means, and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is well j known here as an up to date loafer, j He has been living off the folks all ti is lite, and doesn t amount to. shucks. They will have a hard ! life while they live together, and the News has no congratulations i to offer, for we don't believe any good can come of such a union."! The issue in whicli he told the i truth was the last one for .that editor. Now, in the morn, when j the dew diamonds sparkle and the sweet throated birds make melody, . the subscribers to that papt-r while, it was published, drive out into the country a Fhort way and gaze meditatively upon a piece of tan- . 1 1 . , 1 ned skin banging on a barlied wire : fence. It is all that remains of , the once manly form of the editor who told the truth for one week, Additional Locals H. J. Healy was in the city from Haystack Tuesday on a business trip. Hev. Clark announces that the revival services at the Methodist church will be continued over Sunday. Services at the Union church next Sunday will be conducted by the Key. Z. W. Cominerforil, pastor of the First Presbytciian church. C. B. Oinwiddie has accepted a position as book keeper with K. L. Simpson and anyone wishing to see him on school matters will find him there during the day. The Sunday school picnic which was to have been given today by the First Presbyterian church has been postponed on account of sick ness and other causes until the last of the month. Rev. C. P. Bailey came in from The Dalles the last of the week and went out to Bend where he will remain for two weeks. He will return here on Aug. VI to hold services at the Li:ion church. Arrangements have been com- pleted by the O'Neil brothers for the construction of a telephone line between i'rineville and the Lone Pine Trading company's ifc store and ranch properties at the ! Forest place on Crooked iver. The county court at its special : session held last Saturday granted j S. M. IH11.I V, COUNTY. right of way for the erection of the poles. Mr. tiourjif O'Xcil stated that it was intended that the line should be a private one for the company's use, but it ws probable that several lock boxes would be put in along the way so that, several of the ranches lielween the two points could be put in com munication with the outside. The poles for the line an' being hauled now ami it is expected that the line will lie ready for use by the last of this month.
