With Bryan and Taft hurling shafts
of rhetoric at each other from
distances It may he safely said that
the campaign of 1903 has begun. And
the funny part of it all Is that if these
two men were to meet they would
prove as chummy as first cousins.
This is the way th Salem Journal
editor puts himself on record: '"The

other words, he has been a public ser

tention to the misdeeds of men whom
the people wanted to reach, and who
wished to secure a public servant to
do such a work; ho has had tho cour
age to do the worlt for which he was
elected.
And like Solomon, who wanted his
enemy to write a book that ho might
attack the literary style and thus
humble the enemy, these plunderers
are longing to have the President run

and give the farmer his Just duo. It
well known that the school lxok
trust had tho general public by the
throat, txith in this and other States,
and is It any wonder that the farmers
of Oregon, on awaking to that fact.
took 4 crack at it even If It was nec
essary to hit their own State schools
a severe jolt In delivering the blow to
the trust, which was the object they
sought tn reach? The sehood book
trust should he put out of business;
and it would be a wise move to close
every school for a year if such a mea
sure were necessary to break Its hold
on the achool system, and through it
on the nocketbooks of the people.

There is one question that all men
may concede now, before the cam
paign for President gets so hot that no
one will make concessions on either
side, and that Is: The better men In
both parties wish for a good govern
ment economically administered. The
question then arises, how to scuro
that end. Here Is where men differ;
and again they differ as to how far
they are willing to go Into evil In an
effort to line up voters, and men who
have large Influence with big blocks
of voters. 'And here Is where one
wants to focus his weather eye.

a very persevering fellow or else there
has been gross carelessness In choos

to lie the fault of the man or woman
