The Coming Election
The city election to Ik? hek
next Tuesday is one whose im
portance can hardly be overesti
mated. It is proposed to settle
tnu-e for all and in the most ex
peuitious manner possible the
matter of supplying an adequate
sai'ilv of pure water for the
city. Time and time again this
imiortant matter has been de
layed. At last it was confident
lv expected that this summer
would see the bonds sold, the
waterworks purchased and the
new distributing system in
stalled. But a technical flaw in
the bond issue blasted this hope
t looked as though another sea
son would pass before the much
needed, practically imperative
improvements could be made-
It was as the result of much
careful deliberation that the city
council finally devised the idea
of calling a special election for
the purpose of increasing the
debt limit of the city for the spe
cific purpose of buying the water
system and of constructing the
distributing system through
those streets which it is proposed
to improve this summer. The
$-$0,000 will be issued for this
specific purpose. It will make it
possible to at once pay for the
waterworks with city warrants
and the balance will be available
to construct the new system in
side the fire district. Included
in the proposition is the increase
of the debt limit for general pur
poses from $5000 to $10,000. The
city has long been handicapped
by the severe restrictions placed
upon it in this respect and the in
crease of this debt limit is calcu
lated to meet more readily the
growing needs of the city.
Show Them All the Valley
Hood River "has the goods."
To see Hood River Valley is to
appreciate its many splendid ad
vantages. To see and under
stand these advantages is to tell
others of them and to spread the
gospel of Hood River. Hood
River is glad of the Opportunity
to welcome this week the Port
land Commercial Club, an organ
ization whose membership in
duces the most influential citi
zens of the Rose City. There has
always existed a strong bond be
tween Portland and Hood River,
a bond which the future is bound
to make still stronger. A visit of
the kind which is to be made this
week to Hood River is one which
should, land doultless will, mean
much in still further cementing
the ties between the two cities by
initiating the Portlanders into the
beauties, the wonderful produc
tiveness and the hospitality to be
found in the Hood River Vailey.
In July hundreds of Elks from
every corner of the United States
will be in Portland to attend the
national convention. It is always
safe to assume that the Elks are
representative citizens in the
communities from which they
hail. Here Hood River will have
another opportunity to spread
her gospel. Plans are already
being made to show the antlered
herd this favored valley and to
spread the fame of Hood River,
if iKssible, still further.
Taft's Defense
Americans who admire cour
age, whatever their political af
filiations may be, will applaud
President Taft for his courage in
making his defense against the
attacks of Colonel Roosevelt.
That the President did not make
lis counter attack until he had
leen pressed bejond a limits of
endurance, was evident. It wrung
President Taft's heart to be com
pelled publicly to assail his form
er friend. He did it with the ut
most regret, but at the same
time with the courage of his con
viction that he was fighting, not
for personalities, but for princi
pies. When President Taft hit
he hit straight from the shoulder
and those who believe that he
told the truth and the whole
truth will agree that there is
little left for Colonel Roosevelt to
say. Friends of President Taft
have been pleased with the effect
which his trank and courageous
statement has had. Those who
count themselves among the sup
porters of President Taft, and
the News has made plain its po
sition in this matter, feel that
the President's frank and fear
less statement will win for him
a host of admirers from among
the ranks of those who cannot
approve the demagogic tactics to
which Colonel Roosevelt has re
sorted during the present cam
paign in his effort to secure the
Presidency.
The Festival Spirit
With the opening of the Blos
som Festival only two days away.
the festival spirit is already man-
festing itself. Of necessity the
success ot an occasion ot this
kind must depend, not entirely
upon the efforts of a few, but up
on the co-operation of the many.
In this respect the committees
which have in charge Hood Riv
er's first Blossom Festival have
been fortunate. They have not
asked for much, but all that they
have asked for, and more, has
been cheerfully given. The
most essential part, the giving to
all visitors an opportunity to take
the auto trip through the valley,
has been supplied through the
ocal automobile owners, who
will see that nobody lacks this
opportunity. At the same time
the nominal fee charged will give
some recompense, Business men
have entered heartily into the
spirit of the occasion and have
done everything possible in the
way of contributions and decora
tions. The committees have
been indefatigible in their efforts.
Let the Weather Clerk do his
part and the occasion is bound to
be a memorable one for Hood
River.
As was stated in the News last
week, Colonel Roosevelt received
strong support in Oregon be
cause it was commonly under
stood that he represented the
cause of the Progressives. In this
connection it is significant that
Roosevelt has never during the
present campaign aligned him
self positively with this wing of
the Republican party, although
he has been willing that this in
ference should be drawn. Issues
between the Progressives and the
standpatters were made upon the
tariff question and vt Roosevelt
has signally failed to make known
in a definite manner his policy as
concerns this vital point. It is
plain that he is perfectly willing
to secure the support of the Pro
gressives by default.
The day of wonders in the med
ical profession has evidently only
just begun. One of the latest
was performed by a French sur
geon, who grafted a cornea upon
the eye of a blind man, thereby
succeeding in partially restoring
sight.
The Trim Looking Team
shown in the picture, are evi
dently good roadsters. In order
to keep them so, no pains
should be spared to keep them
carefully shod. As
Experienced Morseshoers
we know the importance of
keeping them carefully shod.

work. You wont regret it.

For I nee that nomlna ton lo a-headln'

Come, you Ted of Oyster Hay,
Ion't you realize you say
J net the opposite of what you ald
five years njjo today?
Kef rain
Oh you sphinx of Oyster Hay!
Will you twist the truth that way
Just to K'dii the nomination
Is Is really Kolng to pay?
"Ship me somewhere west of Suez, let

For I'm through with presidential;
there alnt' ki.Iq to be uo core
I have finished serving two terms aud

so led the Urash did promise but
the promise wasn't kept.
For here comes our Theodore

Though he ticmly vowed he would

Itut we'll never more support you

lo you think you play It fair
On the level, on the square.
When you try to get an option on

Refrain
Put on your old battered bonnet
With the busted promise on It,
In the ring you'll find It's only In

Though In nineteen four we took

Now In nineteen twelve we'll hook

As you'll find out to your sorrow
On the next convention day.
