(UN ; ON " . It Blt Roosevelt and the Iowa Idea. Some of the Democratic papers are saying that President Roosevelt has been converted to the Iowa idea regarding the tariff. The fact is, however, that (iov. Cummins, one of the leading exponents of the Iowa fad. has been won over to the President's side on that question. According to revelations which have just Wen made, the President, in the interview which no nad with the Iowa governor, showed that the latter stood on the platform of the . l.ouis convention of lM'ii, on which MeKinley was nominated the first time. That platform set forth, "We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates is a prae. tieal one, to be governed by the conditions of the time and of production. The ruling and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of Ameri can labor and industries." Cummins acki.owledged that he stood on that declaration. The presumption is that a platform along that line will be adopted in the approaching Republican convention in Iowa. The Republicans carried out the platform expression of 1 Mil! when they enacted the Pimiley law of 1VJ7. Th it act has given the country satisfaction No sort of a trade statute can be etermll, and some time or other the Dingley law will be revised by the Republi cans. It is well to remember that that act was one of the big factors in the restoration of the prosperity which came to the country very quick'y after the Democrats were turned out of the government and the Republicans were put in power. The act has not yet outlived its usefulness. ,The President is convinced of the truth of this projosition. There would be no sen-e in making any changes in this law at the pres ent time. No sane Republican in the country who thinks of the damage that tariff tinkering has done to the party guilty of it when it was done just before an important election will urge revision bv the Congress which meets next winter. That Congress, in its first term, will be in session at the time the two big con ventions meet. A scheme of taritf revision which should be entered on in the session which begins in December 11(03, would carry the enactment of the bill to a date a tew months previous to the election. The papers which are saying the President has sur rendered to the Cummins faddists ought to know that William B. Allison i3 to write the platform of the coming Iowa convention. It is well known that Alli son has always been against the immediate revision folly. He was hostile to Cummins' influence in the dictation of the policy of the Iowa Republicans. Of course, the Iowa idea did not have the slightest effect in the congressional canvass of ll.;02, except as it sent Henderson into retirement. Henderson's district, however, is represented by a man who cares as little about the Cummins idea as did Henderson himself but he has sense enough to hold on to his seat. The point of prime importance is to avert all schemes of tariff revision which are intended to go into operation bofore the presidential election. The question can be talked about afterward with less danger to the party, and less, also, to trade. Senator Allison will see to it that nothing will get into his state platform which will make him or Iowa ridiculous. The tariff will not be introduced into the approaching campaign except as the Democrats may do this by attacking the protective system. Their attacks, if they are made, will be wel come. Nothing would please the Republicans of the nation more than to see the Democrats make a fierce assault on the tariff line. If Cummins and his awk ward tquad of tariff smashers can incite the Democ racy to make an assault on the protetive policy by which the country has secured a prosperity unknown anywhere else in the world they will do a rare service for their party. Enemies of Good Roads. Every great and beneficial public movement must expect a certain amount of annoyance from small-bore persons who drag in their pet bigotries, regardless of time and place. Unable to obtain a hearing in any other way, they turn up in a large convention and spring their hobby, regardless of ths true objects of the gathering. Ex-Gov. Hogg, of Texas, in this way, imposed huTrJeas touching the Philippines upon the national and international good roads convention. Jot a dozen personB in the United States care what Hogg thinks about the acquisition and retention of the Philippines. That business was attended to by Ameri can citizens of a different order from Hogg. He was one of the frothy opponents of the imperialism that never existed, and that has dropped out of live issues because it was utterly ridiculous. Good roads might be obtained to some extent by selling a part of the national territory, but the idea has occurred to no body but the Texan with vocal facilities entirely dis proKrtionate to his w it. Hogg wants to improve roads by giving up the Philippines, just ns another Southern speaker, affected with the same intellectual biiter rot, proposes to stop river improvement and spend the money on roads. The convention simply ignored fhese speakers, class ing them with natural phenomena akin to mosquitoes, and proceeded w ith its important work on its proper level. I'nless certain indications fail, a few delegates attended the convention not to help good roads, but to stir up a nasty political muss. They are played out in political conventions and so go to other assem blages to force their views on a surprised and unwill ing audience. To the extent of his small ability, llogu did all that he could to turn the good roads conven tion into a caucus of a- repudiated party. Rut the good roads movement will go forward on its merits w ithout healing such freaks. A PROMINENT COLLEGE MAN. Ono of Indiana's Useful Educators Says: " I Feel Like n New Mar.." v ,CV SV , Our Comingr Influence in the Pacific. The President's visit to the Pacific coast states and his speeches at San Jose, Watsonville, Santa Cm, San Praneisco and oilier poin's serve to call attention not only to the remarkable industrial progress of this section of the Union within the lat few years, but to the growth of our interests in the Pacific. In his speech at Watsonville the President, refer ring to the Pacific, said: H'his, the greatest of all the oceans, is one which during the century opening must pass under Amer ican influence ami, as inevitably happens when a great effort comes, it means that a great burden of re sponsibility accompanies the effort. " It was doubtless far from the purpose of the Presi dent to convey the notion that he believed the United States would "rule" the Pacific, as some papers seem to have interpreted his utterance. If the Philippine archipelago remains under our control or protection) however, it is a safe prediction that American influence will seiipibly increase in the Pacific. Toward this end also our other Pacific possessions will contribute, the Island of Guam lying in a direct line from San Fran cisco to the southern part of the Philippine, with the Island of Tutuila, w hich has the most valuable island harbor in the South Pacific, and the Hawaiian group. which has considerable commercial nnd strategical value. With these important naval stations and the gate, way to the Orient under our control, and the Abakan 1 oumlary question settled, and the Panama Canal coiuplt-ted and owned by the government the Pacific coast states are certain to witness a development far beyond the dreams even of such enthusiastic optim ists as President Roosevelt.

K. Cru.-s, t-eciitary of the Association. Of great educational value to the entire state, and par ticularly to this community, is the Chautauqua Asso ciation. Lecturers of ability and national reputation are engaged for each meeting. Even a larger number of celebrities have been secured for this year than for previous assemblies. Senator Dolliver. and Congress man Champ Clark, who are recognized as the fore most jiolitical orators of the country, will both give lectures during the sessions of the Chautauqua. Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. liurdette, talented people and en tamers of great accomplishments of Pasadena, Cali fornia, will also be in attendance. Other entertain ers, of equal ability in their respective assignments, have been engaged. Everything augurs well for the suceess of the Assembly. Such a result will be due largely to the untiring efforts of Mr. Cross, as secre tary. Pi.kixjko to a reduction in the expense of conduct ing the affairs of the county, the present Republican officers of Clackamas county are fulfilling their ante election promises. The semi-annual reports of the various olli cers are printed in this issue of the Enter p'ise, and disclose an improved condition, financially in the affairs of the county. I5y judicious manage ment of the affairs of the county, the current expenses for the half-year were restricted to $'.'-l,H4l, as against 44,C-S0.5"4 for th corresponding six months a year ago. This represents a saving to the county in cur rent expenses of nearly $10,000 in six months. Judge Ryan and the other county officers are deserving of credit for this showing, which will be welcome news to the taxpayers of the county. A viooKors and thorough canvass is being made by the Republicans throughout this Congressional District, and the election of Mr. Herman by a major ity considerably in excess of all expectations will be the result. 'Congressional Committeeman Ryan and the Republican leaders of Clackamas county are con ducting an aggressive campaign that will contribute to that end very materially. Mr. Reameb may be able to successfully imperson ate the handshake and conversation of his opponent, Mr. Hermann, but when the votes are counted on the night of June 1, the former will be convinced that he had better employed in the getting of votes the time that was passed in entertaining impersonations.
