Local Bull Moose
As noted in another column,
steps have been taken looking
towards the organization of the
Bull Moose Party in this county
and a public mass meeting has
been called for next Saturday.
Those who have undertaken this
action declare that, in their opin
ion, the new party has a large lo
cal following- and one which will
prove more effective if properly
organized.
Just what action will be taken
by the party locally has not yet
been decided and probably this
will not be determined until some
kind of an organization is effect
ed. It will be time enough then,
they state, to decide whether or
not a complete local ticket will be
placed in the field. The same
question has arisen in other sec
tions where a Progressive organ
ization has been effected and at
the meeting the State Progress
ive committee of Washington at
Seattle Saturday the county tick
et was made optional in that
state. In Oregon it is still an
open question, which will prob
ably be decided at the coming
gathering of state Progressives
to be held at Portland. At pres
ent it appears to be the prevail
ing opinion that the issues which
have been raised by the Progress
ives, with Roosevelt as the guid
ing spirit, should be confined for
this campaign at least to nation
al politics. The injection of lo
cal candidates into the Progress
ive ticket might have the appar
ent effect of solidifying the par
ty, but it would be more than
likely to occasion local animosi
ties and as a consequence to ma
terially affect the chances which
the party now has for achieving
success in the larger and more
vital national issues.
Every local Progressive organ
ization will be strong and effect
ive during the coming campaign
in proportion as the national is
sues are kept clear from local
factional strife, and this would
do far more towards estab
lishing the new party upon a per
manent basis than would the run
ning of a local as well as nation
al ticket.
There is a tendency in some
quarters to look upon partizans
of the new party as disappointed
politicians with axes to grind
and personal ambitions to for
ward. There should be no local
scramble for offices. Oregon has
a primary system through which
a fair expression of the voters
may be registered, and in keep
ing with the declaration of Col.
Roosevelt that where the people
have had a fair chance to regis
ter their will through primaries
the nominations would be let
stand, this policy should be cheer
fully adhered to.
Another determining factor
which i3 being considered is this:
that so far as the State of Ore
gon is concerned the Republican
party is progressive. This was
demonstrated when Roosevelt
carried the state in the preferen
tial primaries. It is fair to pre
sume that a considerable propor
tion of these Republicans who
may vote for Roosevelt this Fall
could not easily be weaned away
from the Republican party in
voting on candidates for local of
fices. They may do so at some
future election, but it is extreme
ly doubtful whether any consid
erable number could be prevailed
upon to do so this year.
Jupe Pluvius having used his
sprinkler freely last week, it is
to Ih ho'H'd that he will kep it
safely un the shelf this week
while Hood River's first Chau
tauqua is in progress. Nothing
else is now lacking to make the
occasion a great success.
Studying the "Blues"
It is announced that at John
Hopkins University a study is
being made of that peculiar men
tal malady commonly called the
"blues. " The study is to include
the causes which lead up to this
depressing affliction and the ef
fect which it has upon the per
son afflicted with it.
The extent to which sickness,
real or imagined, is brought
about by mental and nervous
stress is now the subject of es
special study by the medical fra
ternity. It is a simple rule of
cause and effect which explains
the way many persons, particu
larly of the weaker sex, form
habits of mind which, by placing
in unnecessary stre-s upon the
delicate nervous system, super
induce ailments to which persons
of normal mental and nervous
functions would not be suscept
ible. It has been conclusively shown
that nerve tension brought about
by unnatural nervous excitement
or worry is the direct cause of
many ailments. In the case of
women this has been found to
be particularly true. When the
nerve tension has been removed
the symptoms have at once tend
ed to disappear. All of which
plainly demonstrates that it is a
duty to cultivate a cheerful, hope
ful disposition, and as a result to
be fortified mentally as well as
physically against disease.
Consideration of Mr. Mason's
description of the grange road
bills, as contained in the last two
issues of the News, shows that
they are calculated to appeal to
the farming population of the
state strongly in at least one
particular. This is the authority
given the people of each county
to control their own bond issues
and also to select the roads and
direct the manner in which they
shall be constructed, while the
state highway engineer sees to
it that a uniform system of road
building is followed throughout
the state.
That the fair sex may play an
important part in future political
campaigns is indicated by their
activity in the present president
ial fight. Roosevelt started things
by diplomatically recognizing the
suffragists at the Chicago con
vention and President Taft has
followed siit by having Hilles
appoint Miss Mabel Boardman
as head of the advisory committee
in charge of woman's work for
his re-election.
No more important question
faces the valley today than that
of establishing and maintaining
a superior pack. It is a matter
which challenges serious atten
tion. As quoted in another col
umn, Mr. Sieg declares the
superiority of the Hood River
pack to be the "backbone of the
valley's success." H. F. David
son is of the same opinion and
believes that the standard should
be improved upon if possible.
A Kansas editor is authority
for the statement that "Most
young men expect a wife to be a
valet and a tailor, while most
young women expect a man to
be a plumber, a carpenter and a
national bank."
A good sign the railroads are
beginning to worry about how
they are going to handle the
bumper crops.

SAYS MOOSE LEADS
IN POLITICAL ZOO
IMItor, the Newa: The "Houn
D iwg" linn (MinpiH'arvd from the po
litical zoo and the "Mull Monw" In
now rtvelvtiitf world-wide attention.
In other word the KroKremilve
Party Id not only an n nun red fact.
lr.it xtnrta out with an equipment
that In phenomenal for the' Itrlef
month ot It exlHteuee. It ha at ltd
head the l'nt known man In public
life In any part of the world today,
ami a man whose popularity ax a
political leader wax demount rated at
the preHldentlal primaries. Iteliiiid
hltu I a pretn ot uo mean propor
tion, which the wealthy capitalist
through crooked political alliance
are unable to control. Among them
are all of th Muney paper; the
Iloetou Journal. Philadelphia, Even
ing Time, Wanhlugton Time nnd
other Kateni iiewpaper; the Chi
cago Tribune and Kaunas City Star,
two of the HtrougeHt dallle of the
Middle Went. In New York there Is
the Kvenlng Mall, In Philadelphia
the North American, In Pittsburg
the leader. The ho Angeles Tri
bune, the Sacramento liee ami the
Sau Francisco Bulletin were among
the llrt western dallies to give the
new party support. The Toledo
Blade, Cleveland leader, Detroit and
Kansas City Times can also be
counted on. Collier's Weekly, Out
look, Mutieys aud Review of lie
vlfws are magazines ardently with
the new movement.
N'o third party ever had such pub
licity nnd hacking. The real ground
work of the Progresalvt s, however.
Is the rank and Hie who realize that
the privileged classes, corporation
lawyer and big political bonnes,
trongly Intrenched In both old
parties, are so blinded by their own
ambition that they can no longer
legislate for the people as -i whole.
It appeals to all who believe In the
right ami capacity of the people to
rule theniMelves, and strike at the
root of privilege In Industry and
politic.
The cry of the Interests that Roose
velt has become a menace on account
of personal ambition I exploded by
the fact that he ha given Into the
hand of the people a "curb bit" that
will rein In a Roosevelt or any one
else who might aume to be greuter
than the people.
T he wail of the bang on otlice
holders to clean up the Republican
party from the Inside would be like
mixing milk with vinegar, ami the
Progressive party believe that be
fore election Is the proper time to
convert White House timber Into
clean men.
"Roosevelt's speech of acceptance,"
say the Los Angelu Tribune, "Is
destined to live a one of the noblest
utterances In the political history of
the nation Human rights at last
have found their champion. I't a
united people disregard all past po
litical affiliation and rally to his
standard." lit 1. 1, Moomkii.
WHITE SALMON
(Fom the Enterprise)

Winter lianuua npple tree now

some production to talk about.
Announcements have been received
In White Salmon of the marriage of
Mis Martha Rroberg of New Lon
don, Minnesota, to Melvln Van Vorst
of this place, the wedding taking
place at the home of the bride on the

While riling Wednesday of thl
week Mlns Mann, whose home Is two
miles up the valley, was thrown
from her home and nustalned a
broken arm. The young lady went
to the hospital at Hood River for
treatment.
('apt. Mitchell of Camas vulley ha
brouuht In the first bunch of stuff for
ex lilt.it purposes. It Is great! No
hot air about this. A sheaf of timo
thy stand six feet high with head
measuring ten Inches long. This
was gathered from a portion of his
meadow which yielded six tons an
acre. Ills wheut stand five feet In
the sheaf, with head measuring five
and nix Inches long. HI samples of
rye stand six feet.
Dr. lielshelm and Win, Thode of
Trout Luke punned through White
Salmon Wednesday morning on their
way from Portland. While there Mr.
Coman of the North Hank road told
them their railway was In uo way
connected with the Northwestern,
but he sali) Porter llro' had made a
survey for a road to the dam site,
aud should It be built the probabil
ity Is very strong that It would be
continued, as It Is only a question of
time when a railway will tap the
( n man and Trout Lake districts.
