Oracoa, asdcr the Act of March 1. 1871 TAFT AND ROOSEVELT President Taft, many new say, has fhown himself "more radical" than ever Roosevelt was. "Roose velt the conservative. Taft the Radical,' is an expression that embodies an idea not unfamiliar in the political talk of the country. It is justified, too, says the Ore couian, by review of the leading aots and etTorts of Taft 's first year, s t in comparison or contrast with things which Roosevelt endeavor ed to accomplished. It is common knowledge that Roosevelt's support brought to Taft his nomination for the Presi dency. Every movement that Roosevelt made, in 1903, showed his partiality for Taft, he believed and asserted, was the man most to be trusted to continue the "poli cies'" that Roosevelt had begun. The difference, however, between the two men is immense. Where Roosevelt was loudly demonstra tive, Taft is quietly yet forcibly insistent; and leaders in Congress who were uubending towards Roosevelt, yield to Taft's persua sive force and carry measures through, far more "progressive"' than any which Roosevelt urged. The responsible leaders in Con gress were all opposed to Roosevelt. With Taft they are on excellent terms; and even "the insurgents" acknowledge hit touch of concilia tion. Congress is slow ; but it is evideut that most of the measures of the so-called Administration program will go through before adjournment. THE CLEAN LP MOVEMENT It is apparent from the publicity being given the spring oleaning of towns and cities on the coast that the movement ii widespread. A special letter to the News on this subject says : ''Every city and town in ihe Northwest should join in the spring clean up movement, for it is undoubtedly true that every section of Oregon, Washington and Idaho will be visited by a large number of Easterners. The West earned a reputation last summer as a fine summer resort and accord ing to th best information obtain able there will be many tourists coming to the Northwest during the warm months. The cry has gone out 'clean up; plant more trees and shrubbery, abolish the disgraceful bill-boards, preserve your beautiful landscape; let the visitor be able to see the real beauty of your city.' In many cities and towns the cry is being heeded; the bill-board man is be iug told that he is not wanted; if the men who use the bill-boards for advertising wants real results let him advertise in the home paper; that is the medium which gives results, and the medium whieh should be used." The Doom of Voting Women By On of the Doom) Ir. J nines W. WttMi, tlenn of the medical tkliool of Kimlham I'nlverwl- ty (the Jeult I'lilventlty In New York rity) lu n recent auMreiui before the NullonHl ( Antl Suffratre) League for the Clvle Education of Women In reported tt Haying that even if women were granted the suffrage nature would eliminate from the race In three or four generations all who cared about exercising tt. Wyoming womeu ploase take note, A dreadful thing's to come about; And all tiecause you choose to vote You're simply going to le "wled out." In generations three or four, A doctor says, you'll cease to le; Nature will open her trap door And you'll drop through quite si lently. In I'tah, too, aud Idaho (So says this Fordham dean and sage) The voting woman needs must go Through that same door, from off life's stage. And Colorado's mountain air Will ouly help precipitate The fate of every voter there That Natnre must eliminate. In wide Australia's realm afar, And In New Zealand's Isles close by Where all the women voters are, 'Tls sad to learn they all must die. In Europe's northern lands today Women are voters full and free, In Iceland, Finland, Norway, too; All, all will drown In frigid sea.

THE WEATHER Spring apparently is here. (Don't shy gentle reader we are not about to indulge in spring poetry in prose form.) But lg reiterate spring seemingly is here and with it has come energetic ac tion, content and optimism instead of lassitude, unrest and the desire to (lit which is supposed to be characteristic of the spring season. The energy and optimism can probably be aacribed to the Hood River people, but credit for the supreme content which has wreath ed all faces for some days must be given to the climate. Surely no finer weather ever gra?ed any part of old Mother Earth, the stars above or the worlds we know not of, than these glorious days of March.
