CUNiON A- LABEl Roosevelt Desires Hermann's Election. ProiJent Roosevelt has announced that he is de sirous of the election of Hon. Ringer Hermann to Con gress from the First Congressional District of Oregon. Thus is exploded the great bugaboo of alleged lack of harmony between President Roosevelt and Mr. Her mann, upon which the Democrats have been harping so much. In a letter to United States Senator J. II. Mitchell, Thomas II. Carter, president of te National Louisiana Purchase Exposition Ccmmiision, writes as ' follows: "In regard to the candidacy for Congress of Hon. Binder Hermann, to which you refer, permit me to fay that I made it a sjieeial point to ask President Roos-evelt direct what his attitude was in regard to Mr. Hermann. I had no doubt, to begin with, as to Lis leply. but since, according to your suggestion, per Eons resisting the election of Mr. Hermann had sug gested that his candidacy was regarded with difavor by the President, I felt constrained to secure fir you, as Mr. Hermann's friend, direct information from headquarters. In his usual frank and forceful man ner, the President used, as near as I can recall the following language, to-wit: " "There is not one word of truth in the rumor that I am opposed to Mr. Hermann's elect ion; but.on the con trary, I heartily and earnestly desire his election. I Lojk? that every voter who believes in the principles of the party and wishes well for the administration will cast bis vote for Mr. Hermann. The rumored quarrel between Mr. Hermann and myself is without foundation. Our relations ure, and always have been, cordial.'" The Texasizing of Panama. The latest advices from Columbia indicate that the opposition to the Panama canal treaty is strengthen ing. This gives added point to the striking sugges ti on n.srfe by M. Jean Izzoula a French writer fa miliar with the conditions on the Isthmus thatj should Columbia fail to ratify the treaty, the thing for the state ot Panama to do is to seceJe and become an independent republic. To the trade and industries of Panama the building of the canal will be a tremen dous stimulus. It will affect but little the people of the rest of Colombia. Here is a sharp cleavage in interests, which M. Izzoula believes will result in po litical separation. There is, besides, plenty of prece dent fur such action in the history of South American states, even in that of Colombia herself; and Texas, it will be recalled, split from Mexico, not because of a numerical preponderance of Americans in the territo ry, but on account of the preponderance of American influence. It is perhaps not improbable that.if an inde jiendeiit Republic of Panama were organized, it might follow the example of Texas and ask admission to the Union. Such a programme would present many element.- of attractiveness. Since Columbia would be unable to fill her contract, we should have to pay her no niur.ey. Questions ot sovereignty over the canal route would be forever settled. We could fortify it if we pleased. The hitherto dilatory statesmen of Bo gota might do worse than to see that a special session of congress is speedily called and the treaty ratified before it is everlastingly too late. Native Sons in Politics. The attempt of Mr. Reames, the democratic candi date for congress in this district, to take the Native Sons orJer into politics is not a new move in this state. The attempt has been made to take various fra ternal orders into politics in times past, but with little success It has not been considered the legitimate function of lodges and churches to pursue politics. If Mr. Reames succeeds in being elected at the hands of the people of Western Oregon after his ap peal to the Native Sons, that order will have gained a reputation which other orders have Bhunned in the past. Other candidates will seek to use it in the future, and it will be pulled this way and that by politicians until there is nothing left of it. If Mr. Reames fails of election it will be said the Native Sons had no influence. It is safe to say that the first fraternal organization in Oregon that goes in to active politics will probably cease to exist. The appeal to the Native Sons is not founded on a sound political argument. There is no principle of political economy bound up in wearing this badge or that, and no issue in the campaign that hinges on birthplace. Salem Journal. The Increase of Suicide and Its Cause. Attention is being called to the fact that the num ber of suicides is increasing more rapidly than is the population, not only in this country but in Europe, as , well. In Fugland, for instance, nearly ."0,(HH) persons have perished by their own hands during the hint decade, apd, according to the records of coroners' juriesr ' the number has increased two hundred ht cent, dur-i ing t lie last half century. In Continental Kurope nn even worse condition of affairs is noted. The suicides to each million inhabitants in F.ngland number HO, in Raden it is I'.'S. and in Sarony ;!'! Brussels, llerlin : Stockholm, and St. Petersburg have each a record ex- ceeuing oui, w line m i aris aim lenna me muniier exceeds -100. Yet the increase of the tendency to siii-j cide is not confined to the cities. In England, a com-' parison between the seventy-lour largest towns andj the remainder of the country shows a preponderance outside of the cities. In France, the annual rate has; increased from 1"7 to JM, and in liermany there is about the same increase. In Austria the rate has in creased 3", in Ilungarv -7, in Scotland IS, and in Ire. landS. Contrary to the general impression, suicide j is most prevalent in Continental KuroH among the, phlegmatic Germanic people and not among the more j excitable French. A startling fact is that there is nn increase in the number of juvenile suicides. During! the ton years from ISS7 to 1S'.)7, there were 221 boys J and 70 girls who committed suicide in Kurope. It is j hard to determine the cause of this increase of suicide i in Euroie. Ii is hard to determine the cause of thi8 j increase of suic. de both among old and young. Aj French investigator attributes a part i)f it at least to j the sensational character of the modern press. He: points out that, when a peculiar method of suicide is ; described in the papers with painstaking detail, it is I almost sure to be followed by a number of close imi-j tations. A man in Los Angeles who succeeded in his j third attempt at suicide recently was found to have. his pockets stiilied tint ot 'sensational newspaper ac counts of suicides. The inlhience of such suggestion upon immature minds would justify a part of the in crease of juvenile suicide ln-ing attributed to this case in England, a significant similarity in the proportion of male to female suicides and of males to females punished for .drunkenness is pointed out. Suicide is more common among the educated than among the uneducated, among employed women than among the unemployed women, and among unemployed men I than employed men. A PROMINENT COLLEGE MAN.

Reames, democratic , Tho reninn Meijii'liiet'o..('oliiiniiii, O.: candidate for congress said, "in a congress already heavily republican the election of a democrat from this district would make no diH'erenee in national measures." This is a very frank admission on the part of Mr Reames to say the least. He admits that in a con gress heavily republican he would be a mere figure head, politically, unable to accomplish anything in the way of legislation. Mr. Reames has defined the issue, 'shall we send a man to congress who can do nothing or do we want the district represented in con gress by a man who has already made his influence felt in legislation affecting for good the interests and material prosperity of Oregon and the Pacific coast." If it is a mere question of drawing pay we should, by all means, send Mr. Reames, but if we want work done and something accomplished, send Hermann.

For months it extols the many virtues and inlhiential standing of a man prominent in public life through its column?, and in other ways, so long as the privi lege could be tolerated. But suddenly a change of mind is experienced. Its praises are replaced with abuse and ridicule in an effort to consign to political oblivion those who have befriended and aided in a pe cuniary and business way and made possible its ex istence. There is a limit to which the average man will become obligated in support of any uncertain en terprise, and this fact is offered in explanation of the course oi me sneei to wmen reierence is made. I tie abused in this case, it is understood, has sunken as much as he cares to, and is now reaping his divi dends. Rumors of apathy within tne ranks of Clackamas county Republicans in the pending congressional cam paign," were dispelled last night on the occasion of Mr Hermann's visit to this city, marking the opening of the campaign in this county. There was a large at tendance at Shively's hall and good interest was inani. fested in the discussion of political questions. There was marked enthusiasm and when the votes are counted on the first Monday in June it will be found that Clackamas county republicans did their part to wards continuing a substantial representation from this district in the National legislative halls. The announcement by President Roosevelt that the relations are most cordial between himself and Mr. Hermann, whose election be desires, quite completely disorganizes the principal contention of the Democrats in their opposition to Mr. Hermann's candidacy. It is now only a question of Mr. Hermann's plurality His election, which never hag been honestly doubted is now an assured certainty. The sudden and unexpected death in Portland Wednesday of V. V. Brooks, after a surgical opera- ion for appendicitis, is to be regretted. Mr. Brooks was at ons time connected with the Enterprise and during his residence here made a wide circle of friends who deplore Lis untimely taking away.
